The pear-shaped pink diamond was successfully obtained, and the next target was the two D-grade flawless white diamonds weighing 15 carats each.
Just five or six minutes later, these two crystal-clear D-grade flawless white diamonds made their debut, and were put on the display stand by Christie's staff and presented to all buyers.
Unlike the previous bidding for pear-shaped pink diamonds, Ye Tian adopted a new bidding strategy this time, catching all the buyers who were preparing to bid for this pair of flawless white diamonds off guard!
At the beginning of the auction, Larson had just reported the starting price. Before he could finish his words, Ye Tian had already raised his bidding sign and shouted out his bid in a very high-profile manner.
Based on the starting price quoted by Larson, which was five million euros for the two diamonds, Ye Tian directly raised the price by one million euros and bid six million euros.
Using this high-profile bid, Ye Tian showed his determination to win these two flawless white diamonds, and also extinguished many buyers' thoughts of participating in the competition.
Unsurprisingly, the entire auction hall was detonated by him again, and there was a chorus of exclamations.
After the shock, the ongoing auction came to a standstill.
Everyone at the scene was talking in low voices, but no buyer raised a sign to accept the latest price quoted by Larson.
In view of Ye Tian’s unyielding and unyielding attitude when bidding for the pear-shaped pink diamond, many buyers who were originally interested in these two flawless white diamonds couldn’t help but murmured and began to hesitate to raise their placards to bid!
In fact, the quotation given by Ye Tian has greatly reduced the profit margin, which is the fundamental reason why many buyers are hesitant!
Under this situation, some smaller jewelers had no choice but to stop their activities and did not even get the chance to raise their placards for bidding. They were very depressed!
After auctioneer Larson’s eloquent persuasion, a buyer from Russia finally raised his bidding sign and accepted the bid of 6.1 million euros.
However, Ye Tian immediately raised his bidding sign and shouted out a bid of 7.1 million euros, which was once again raised by 1 million euros, with unparalleled momentum!
7.1 million euros is very close to the price of these two flawless white diamonds in the retail market. For ordinary jewelers, there is basically no possibility of profit!
Even those luxury brands and big jewelers with high brand premiums, for the sake of safety, will no longer risk paying the price and end up competing for these two flawless white diamonds!
Because no one present could guess what price Ye Tian set for these two flawless white diamonds! I don’t know if he will continue to raise prices like crazy or stop soon!
If I rashly bid, if I get tricked by this guy Steven, I won’t be able to cry anymore. These two flawless white diamonds will probably fall into my hands.
You know, Steven is not only ruthless and decisive in the auction house, he is also known for his insidiousness and cunning. There are countless people who have been tricked by him. This is a lesson learned from the past!
Based on this consideration, those buyers who were originally interested in these two flawless white diamonds completely stopped without even raising their cards and directly withdrew from the competition.
No matter how much Larson tried to seduce and persuade, no buyer raised his placard to accept the price, and ended up competing with Ye Tian for these two flawless white diamonds!
In desperation, Larson could only bang the auction gavel to end the auction of these two flawless white diamonds.
As a result, this has become the shortest auction with the smallest number of bidders since the start of today's jewelry and diamond auction. It took less than two minutes and only two buyers participated in the bidding!
Fortunately, the transaction price was pretty good. Both the Christie's auction house and the sellers of these two flawless white diamonds were quite satisfied, and everyone was happy with the result!
After the two flawless white diamonds were successfully auctioned, it was time for intermission.
During this period, Ye Tian chatted a few words with the jewelry tycoons and super-rich people he had just met around him. They were all superficial remarks and not nutritious.
The intermission is short, only ten minutes.
Soon, the second half of the auction began, and the scene became lively again.
Jewelers and individual buyers from all over the world, large and small, rolled up their sleeves one after another and entered into one fight after another with high morale.
Not long after the second half of the auction started, Matisse's voice suddenly came from the earphones and began to inform Ye Tian of the latest situation.
"Steven, the Pink Panther guys and their minions have arrived near Diamond Street and are currently hiding on a street 200 meters away from Diamond Street.
By monitoring mobile phones, Kenny and the others determined the hiding place of those guys. It was an apartment building built in the late 18th century. The guys were hiding in an apartment on the second floor.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the fixed foothold of the 'Pink Panther' jewelry robbery and theft gang in Antwerp. The apartment is registered under the name of a local white woman in Antwerp."
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately sneered and whispered:
"Come prepared! It's getting more and more interesting. Don't tell me, I really want to compete with the famous "Pink Panther" to see how good these top jewelry thieves are!"
After a pause, Matisse continued:
"After arriving at the apartment, the 'Pink Panther' guys immediately sent three of their men to Diamond Street to find out the news. Those three guys have now arrived on Diamond Street.
These three gangsters are pretending to be tourists and are sitting in a cafe not far from the entrance of Diamond Street. They are observing the situation on Diamond Street and calling their accomplices from time to time!
By monitoring the mobile phone communications between them, the guys from the 'Pink Panther' have got the news and confirmed that Queen Mary's jewelry is in your hands and has not been sent to a certain vault!
It can be seen from this that there must be those guys' eyeliners in the auction hall of Christie's auction house. That eyeliner is not only watching the auction, but also watching your every move at all times.
Those guys from the ‘Pink Panther’ have also learned about the pear-shaped pink diamond and the two flawless white diamonds you just took, as well as the price you gave, and they know everything!
After confirming this information, the guys leading the 'Pink Panther' quickly made a decision. After this jewelry and diamond auction is over, they will be ready to rob you!
The targets of their looting include not only Queen Mary's top-notch jewelry, but also the priceless diamonds you bought at this auction. Their appetite is amazing! "
"What a bunch of greedy scum! Want to rob me all? What are you dreaming about? I do have a lot of priceless jewelry and diamonds in my hands, but none of them belong to them!
In addition to the dazzling jewelry and diamonds, I also have a lot of hot bullets here. I can give these things to them, as many as they want, it depends on whether they can tolerate it! "
Ye Tian sneered and whispered, with endless murderous intent in his words.
As soon as he finished speaking, Matisse's voice came over again.
“It can be seen that these are a group of highly professional jewelry thieves, and their preparations are very good. No wonder they have gained such a great reputation and are feared by all jewelers!
However, these idiots have obviously found the wrong opponent. Their every move is under our surveillance, including the three idiots pretending to be tourists in the street cafe, they are all being watched closely!
The guys are ready to go into battle at any time and kill these idiots who don't know whether to live or die. The two helicopters have also received the message and can take off at any time to provide air support.
If those idiots of the 'Pink Panther' dare to take action and try to rob on Diamond Street, they will be dead. By then, no one can save them, not even God! "
"Let guys be prepared and try not to attack proactively. It's still the same rule as before. We must always be in a favorable position for legitimate defense, so that we are foolproof!
Once those idiots from the 'Pink Panther' take action, you don't have to be polite and can attack freely. Send those idiots who don't know how to live or die to hell, that is their destination!
They want to rob me, and first see if they can pass the Belgian police. Only by passing the encirclement and suppression by the Belgian police can those scum be qualified to become my opponent.
Mattis, pick out what you can tell about the situation you have, and prepare to disclose it to the Antwerp police, so that the Antwerp police can come and check the water meter to test the quality of those idiots!
I will let you know when the information will be disclosed to the police. I don’t want this auction to be interrupted due to a sudden firefight, and I don’t want to miss ‘Oppenheimer Blue‘!
Let’s talk about the situation of the Ghent father and son. If what we expected is correct, then the idiot father and son and the scum of the Brussels gang also rushed to the vicinity of Diamond Street, right? What actions did they take? "
"You guessed it right, Steven, the Ghent father and son and the Brussels gangsters have already arrived here and are hiding in the crowd near the street.
Every move of those idiots is under our surveillance. Charlie and a few guys are keeping an eye on those idiots. They can't make any big waves at all! "
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. My mission is to take a picture of the 'Oppenheimer's Star'. This is the most important thing!"
After saying that, Ye Tian turned off the microphone of the invisible headset and ended the call.
At the same time, Christie's staff sent another set of dazzling diamonds to the display stand and presented them to everyone!
