C581 Once in a Lifetime
After that, the auction could be restarted, and the jewelry company wouldn't suffer any losses.
On the contrary, they even earned a huge deposit. After all, the people who came to the auction site had to pay a deposit of at least 20 million yuan. It definitely wasn't a deposit of 20 thousand yuan.
20,000 yuan could be considered as having been spent on a meal. However, 20 million was definitely someone's concern.
That was a very large piece of Tang Monk meat, no one was willing to part with it.
However, just as the host finished speaking, a middle-aged gentleman in the VIP seats spoke, "One hundred million."
His words caused an uproar.
Although their noble status made them deliberately lower their voices, everyone could tell that everyone was surprised by this middle-aged gentleman's unreasonable bid.
Lih Lingye only glanced at the gentleman indifferently. Compared to the other people who were looking at him in surprise, Lih Lingye was somewhat appreciative.
Increasing the bid by 30 million in one go, this proved that this gentleman was determined to get the yellow diamond.
Firstly, he wanted to get the yellow diamond as soon as possible. Secondly, he wanted to tell everyone present that they should weigh their financial ability. If it was not possible, they should not act recklessly. Otherwise, it would be a waste of each other's time.
"One hundred and ten million." Some people also participated in the auction amid the uproar.
Lih Lingye picked up the coffee in front of him again, took a sip, and then put it down. Hearing the first bid, the gentleman immediately said, "Two hundred million."
This kind of bidding speed was definitely one of a kind in the auction house. This was the third bid of the auction house, but it had already exceeded the base price of 130 million.
The crowd once again burst into an uproar.
Everyone looked at that gentleman with the expression of looking at a monster. Even if this yellow diamond was very beautiful and valuable, it wasn't worth 200 million.
"210 million." The other person who bid with him also nervously made a second bid under everyone's gaze.
"300 million."
Uh, this increase was almost equivalent to 100 million. Yes, he was only 10 million away from 100 million. It was not even 5 million.
Five million and a hundred million, that was a difference of twenty to one. They were not on the same level at all.
Everyone present knew that the middle-aged gentleman had bid three hundred million. There was no point in increasing the bid anymore. That man must get this pair of yellow diamonds today.
Otherwise, he would not have increased the bid from 30 million to 100 million from the start.
Then it was 2300 million.
The emcee's eyes almost narrowed into slits as his gaze fell on the middle-aged gentleman, "300 million once."
Seeing that no one was bidding, he could only say, "300 million twice."
At this moment, the people who had been silent for a few seconds began to whisper again. However, no one dared to increase the bid anymore.
Even if they increased the price, they might not be able to get the yellow diamond. The most important thing was that 300 million was definitely more than the true value of the yellow diamond.
"300 million thrice, done..."
"500 million." Before the host could finish speaking, Lih Lingye raised the sign. His magnetic and pleasant voice broke the whispers.
As a result, the people who were originally whispering became completely open. They looked at the middle-aged gentleman and then looked at Lih Lingye. It was as if they were looking at two monsters.
Lih Lingye, however, did not care about the true value of the yellow diamond.
He only cared about getting a wedding ring that Bai Xianxian liked. He could change it from time to time during the wedding. When he thought of the beautiful yellow diamond on his wife's slender finger, his eyes were slightly intoxicated. He suddenly wanted to take another shot at the ruby, just like the middle-aged gentleman. He would directly raise it to the highest price in his budget and then add it according to the opponent's bid.
It had to be said that it was quite fast.
This pair of yellow diamonds only had three people participating in the bidding. Without those who caused trouble, it was quite fast.
"600 million." The middle-aged gentleman was still determined to get it, but this time, he could feel that when he shouted out this price, his voice was somewhat halting.
Others might not have noticed, but Lih Lingye, who had been waiting for the middle-aged gentleman to bid, definitely felt it.
"800 million." Lih Lingye did not hesitate at all. Compared to the middle-aged gentleman who increased the bid by 100 million each time, he directly increased the bid by 200 million.
How many zeros were there after 100 million? Even if it was counting, it would still take a while.
Lih Lingye increased the bid to 800 million in a moment. If it was a deal... It was definitely not a small amount.
At this moment, the corner of his lips curled up slightly as he looked down at his phone. Fortunately, he did not bring Bai Xianxian along. Otherwise, if she knew how much money he had spent to take pictures of the yellow diamonds and red rubies, she would definitely give him a look.
Little women hated him spending money randomly.
But he felt that it was worth it to spend as much money for their wedding.
He had to do it once in his life. He had to do it as perfectly as possible without any flaws.
"800,000,000 once."
"800,000,000 twice."
"900 million." After the host made two bids, the middle-aged gentleman finally called out nine hundred million.
Lih Lingye faintly smiled, and without any hesitation, he added another 300 million as soon as the middle-aged gentleman finished speaking, "1.2 billion."
This time, he didn't add 200 million, but 300 million.
His calm attitude also told the middle-aged gentleman that he had to get what he wanted.
When this number appeared, the entire audience was in an uproar.
The middle-aged gentleman's face had already darkened slightly.
However, he restrained himself and quietly sat there, waiting for the master of ceremonies to announce Lih Lingye's victory.
This was a place where strength was used to speak. Even if you had thousands of grievances, it was useless. The auction venue only recognized money and people.
Lih Lingye instantly became the center of attention among the guests.
After bidding for the pair of yellow diamonds that he wanted, Lih Lingye picked up the coffee again and took another sip. Because of the air conditioner, the coffee was a little cold. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. He called the waiter over and changed to a warm cup of freshly ground coffee.
Maintaining a good mood was the most important thing at this moment.
He liked the mellow taste of the warm coffee when it entered his stomach.
The finale of the show, a pair of rubies, went on stage.
The rubies were worth a lot of money because of the yellow diamond. That was because they were a pair.
A pair of items could be made into a pair of rings, which could also be the most perfect wedding ring. When a man gave it to a woman, he would also keep one for himself. Only by wearing it together would it show that a man's feelings towards a woman were the most suitable.
This was indeed much more expensive than a single ring.
The starting price of 100 million was 30 million more than a yellow diamond.2
The host had just made a bid when the middle-aged gentleman who had just lost the yellow diamond glanced at Lih Lingye. Lih Lingye politely nodded at him and increased the bid by 400 million, "500 million."
