Chapter 750 Head-on Collision!?
Moreover, Tang Cong’s bid was very likely because Lu Chuyue had set her eyes on this Ocean’s Tears necklace!
“Eighty million once! Eighty million twice! Eighty million three times!”
“Bang! Sold, congratulations to Mr. Tang for winning Ocean’s Tears. I’m sure Miss Lu must be very pleased.” Jeris smiled.
Tang Cong sat back in his chair with a smile.
Beside him, Lu Chuyue grabbed his hand, also wearing a faint smile.
It seems the Lu family’s daughter truly likes the Tang family’s second young master…
People sitting nearby who witnessed this scene all had this thought.
The auction continued.
The subsequent auction items were bid on one after another.
Tang Cong didn’t raise his paddle again, and the auction progressed very smoothly.
An hour quickly passed.
Since Jeris deliberately accelerated the pace, all thirty-nine auction items had already been sold.
“Distinguished guests, you must be wondering why tonight’s auction is progressing so much faster than usual… Originally scheduled for two hours, we’ve now only used half the time, right?” Jeris asked with a smile.
A wave of discussion arose from the seats.
Once Jeris mentioned it, they all realized tonight’s auction had proceeded very quickly.
“Because next, we have an additional auction,” Jeris said. “And the items in this additional auction all come from the same person. Since this respected client requested anonymity, I won’t reveal their name… but the auction items they’ve provided have astonished even our three-star appraiser at Florage, Mr. Jude Lo.”
“For the upcoming auction, Mr. Jude Lo will personally take the stage to explain the value and exquisite nature of each item to everyone.”
“Please be prepared, distinguished guests. You are about to see extraordinary treasures unlike anything you’ve seen before…”
Jeris’s words thoroughly piqued everyone’s curiosity.
For these wealthy people, the rarer an item, the higher its value.
Soon, the elderly appraiser seen earlier in the afternoon walked onto the auction stage.
In his hands, he carried a wooden box.
He first bowed to the clients below, then opened the wooden box.
The moment the wooden box opened, it released a brilliant seven-colored light.
“Wow…”
In that instant, the entire hall erupted in exclamations.
Many people stood up immediately.
Jude Lo put on white gloves, took out the seven-colored prismatic gem from the wooden box, and presented it before everyone.
On the large screen behind him, the full view of this enormous gem appeared.
“Seven-colored Prismatic Gem. You’ve all probably heard of prismatic gems, or perhaps even have one in your collection. And you should all be clear about the rarity of prismatic gems. Named ‘prismatic’ because of their complex structure, they can refract light of different colors… I’m not certain whether there’s another seven-colored prismatic gem in this world. But what I can tell everyone is that, as far as we know, this is the only one in the world.” Jude Lo explained.
At this moment, everyone was staring at the gem in Jude Lo’s hand, not even blinking.
Jude Lo was a three-star appraiser, and with Florage Auction House’s reputation, no one doubted the authenticity of this seven-colored prismatic gem.
“Due to the extreme rarity of this gem, which no one has seen before… we at Florage Auction House have not set a starting price for this gem. You may freely bid,” Jeris spoke up. “Now, esteemed guests, please begin your bidding!”
“One hundred million!” Someone immediately raised their paddle, stood up, and shouted.
“One hundred and fifty million!” Another person quickly followed.
“Three hundred million!” Another bid raised the price above three hundred million.
Just these few bids had already exceeded the highest price of tonight’s auction.
“Three hundred and fifty million!”
“Four hundred million!”
“Five hundred million!”
The price was quickly driven up to five hundred million!
Even though everyone present was wealthy, this price was already quite substantial.
Therefore, from five hundred million onwards, the bidding increments decreased significantly, increasing by ten million at a time.
“Do you want it?”
In the front row, Tang Cong leaned close to Lu Chuyue’s ear and asked softly.
Lu Chuyue looked at the seven-colored prismatic gem on the stage, her eyes sparkling, and nodded slightly.
“Good, I’ll win it for you as my engagement gift,” Tang Cong said with a smile.
By now, the bidding had approached six hundred million.
The Tang family had just severed ties with the Qin family, and even though they had already found new partners, they were still in a period of pain.
At this time, six hundred million was a significant amount for the Tang family.
But Tang Cong had to win this seven-colored prismatic gem now!
He needed to maintain his relationship with Lu Chuyue until they officially married!
By then, with the Lu family’s influence, it wouldn’t be a problem for the Tang family to recoup these hundreds of millions!
“Six hundred million!” Tang Cong stood up and raised his paddle.
He stood up because he didn’t want the price to continue rising.
Now, he was Lu Chuyue’s fiancé.
With Lu Chuyue present, who would dare not give him face?
Sure enough, after Tang Cong’s bid, the previously lively atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled.
Tang Cong had bid… which meant they couldn’t bid anymore.
Tang Cong had even stood up, making his intention very clear.
“Six hundred million once…” Jeris scanned the room and said.
“Make a bid, seven hundred million,” Fang Yu said to Qin Lang beside him.
“Me bid?” Qin Lang was stunned and asked.
“Yes, if you don’t bid, we’ll lose out. We should at least drive the price up to around eight hundred million,” Fang Yu smiled.
Qin Lang didn’t consider the pros and cons too much. Since Fang Yu told him to do so, he complied.
“Six hundred million twice…” Jeris continued.
“Seven hundred million!” At this moment, Qin Lang raised his paddle.
This caused another wave of gasps throughout the hall.
Someone actually dared to compete with Tang Cong?
Was this challenging Tang Cong?
Everyone’s attention focused on Qin Lang.
“It’s that Qin family boy, Qin Lang!”
“It’s actually him? Just yesterday news broke about their family’s split with the Tang family, and today he’s already standing up against Tang Cong…”
“Isn’t this seeking death? What status does the Tang family have now? Moreover, the Qin family is currently in crisis… isn’t Qin Lang just nailing the coffin for the Qin family by doing this?”
A wave of discussions arose around them.
Tang Cong turned his head, coldly staring at Qin Lang, his eyes full of threatening intent.
“Seven hundred and ten million,” Tang Cong said coldly.
At this moment, there was silence all around.
Everyone was watching Qin Lang’s reaction, seeing if he would continue bidding.
On the auction stage, Jeris wore a smile.
He knew Qin Lang’s purpose, and he was happy to see this scene.
As for the enmity between the Qin family and the Tang family, that was not his concern. He was just a businessman, and making money was good.
“Seven hundred and fifty million,” Qin Lang looked at Fang Yu and continued bidding under pressure.
This completely ignited the entire hall.
The Qin family and the Tang family were really going at it!
At this point, people were no longer concerned about the auction item on stage, but were watching Tang Cong like a show.
Would he continue to raise the price?
Lu Chuyue frowned slightly and turned her head, making eye contact with Fang Yu.
Their gazes met in midair.
Lu Chuyue felt her heart inexplicably skip a beat.
Tang Cong noticed Lu Chuyue’s expression, gritted his teeth, and continued bidding: “Eight hundred million!”
“That’s about right,” Fang Yu smiled.
Qin Lang directly put down his paddle.
A wave of mocking sounds arose from around them.
They had thought Qin Lang would continue to fight with Tang Cong, but didn’t expect him to back down so quickly.
“…Eight hundred million three times, sold! Congratulations to Mr. Tang for once again winning what his heart desires…” Jeris could barely hide the smile on his face.
Just this one auction item had earned him the profit of ten previous auction items combined.
Tang Cong glared at Qin Lang with a sharp gaze before sitting back in his chair.
“That man, he’s from the Qin family?” Lu Chuyue asked softly beside him.
“Yes,” Tang Cong nodded and said, “They’re about to be finished.”
“If you need help, you can tell me anytime, I’ll ask my father,” Lu Chuyue said calmly.
Tang Cong’s eyes flickered as he grabbed Lu Chuyue’s hand and said, “Baby, don’t worry. A mere Qin family doesn’t require your intervention.”
