C184 King Diamond
C184 King Diamond
Huang Zhiyong seemed to be very regretful, but he immediately understood. "If it is really the work of a master, then there will definitely be some documents left behind. Or maybe the masters deliberately did not want this treasure to be known by others... "
Chen Yaru looked at the other party muttering to herself, then turned her head and smiled mysteriously at Zhang Xiaoloong.
She was clearer about the process of the formation of this jade than anyone else.
Ever since their relationship broke through, Zhang Xiaoloong did not have the ability to hide it from her.
When he was selecting the items, he didn't find a suitable one. Later on, Chen Yaru accidentally took out the big green goose. Zhang Xiaoloong had an idea. He reshaped this thing. Now, even Xu Shaoning himself... It was impossible for him to recognize the jade that he gave Chen Yaru.
The current Huang Zhiyong looked somewhat fascinated. If he knew the process of the formation of this jade, he would be scared silly on the spot.
Chen Yaru was the only one who saw the process. She looked at the unconventional piece of jade. It flowed and changed like water in Zhang Xiaoloong's hand, as if there was a phoenix living inside. It was as if it was coming out of a mass of chaos.
"Master Huang, can we start the auction now?" Zhang Xiaoloong saw that everyone was getting impatient and quickly reminded.
Only then did Huang Zhiyong react and quickly indicated that the auction could begin.
But when the auctioneer was about to receive the item, he refused again. Instead, he personally stood there and carefully brought out the item with both hands.
This item was not big, so the people below naturally could not see it clearly. They could only see a touch of green.
Fortunately, this auction was prepared. After the camera zoomed in on the item, it was projected on the big screen.
When everyone saw the true appearance of this item, the scene immediately quieted down. It was as if they were afraid of disturbing the Phoenix on the screen.
The size of the jade was only as big as two fists. However, it was not an actual object. Instead, it was a hollow carving.
When it was enlarged, everyone could clearly see it. It was a phoenix that spread its wings and wanted to fly. Not only did it have a vivid shape, but it was also very lifelike. Even every feather as thin as a cicada's wing has been carved with great detail. It was a shocking skill.
Excluding the value of the jade itself, just the fact that the phoenix was carved in such a vivid manner could already turn the stone into a treasure.
What was even more amazing was that the jade was mostly green. Only on the top of the phoenix's head, there was a dot of red that was exceptionally conspicuous. This kind of utilization of the original color of the jade was to the extreme, yet it was able to form a perfect form. Other than the words "ingenious craftsmanship" that Huang Zhiyong had previously mentioned, there were no other words that could be used to describe it.
"I don't think I need to say much about this jade. Everyone can see it. It's a priceless item," Huang Zhiyong explained himself. "In my opinion, it can be compared to any other piece of art from ancient times. But it is also a piece of jade, which increases its value even more. I don't want to say more..."
At this point, he suddenly smiled and said, "Please allow me to bid with everyone, because this is really a tempting treasure."
There was probably no explanation that could stir up the hearts of people more than what he had said. If even an appraisal master couldn't help but want to bid for it, how could the value be small?
Thus, the bids below seemed to have been injected with stimulants as they crazily rose. In just two or three moves, they broke through the ten million threshold.
Originally, they thought that the number of people competing would be fewer, but they didn't expect that this was only the beginning. It was as if those below ten million didn't even bother to open their mouths, and saying that price was an insult to the jade.
Just like that, they competed again and again. In the end, this jade carving, at a price of 128 million, was taken by Huang Zhiyong.
Although many people present could also afford this price, they were still shocked by Huang Zhiyong's hidden strength.
This person used to be just an appraisal master, but he didn't expect his net worth to be so rich. He didn't even change his expression even when he bid hundreds of millions.
It was also Huang Zhiyong who bid. Many people did not want to bid against him, so this price fell a little earlier. Otherwise, this jade might be even higher.
"It is actually worth so much money?" Chen Yaru was also a little shocked.
Originally, Xu Shaoning's jade was only worth a million. She thought that it was already not bad to auction it off.
Xu Shaoning and others had seen the shape of the jade. That was why Zhang Xiaoloong changed it. At that time, he was excited and made it look like a phoenix. He did not expect it to become a peerless treasure by accident.
"Yeah, I didn't think of it either." Zhang Xiaoloong indeed did not think of it, but then he said casually, "Anyway, it's for charity. It's better to sell it for more money!"
"Yes." Chen Yaru agreed, but it would be a lie to say that she did not feel any pain at all.
If Tengloong Company wanted to develop faster, they needed a large amount of funds. If they invested over a hundred million in this investment, it would naturally be a very strong help.
However, this was a charity auction. The money obtained from the auction would not be distributed to the seller, but would be directly used for charity. Therefore, they would not get a single cent.
"I apologize for offending you!" Huang Zhiyong apologetically cupped his hands towards Zhang Xiaoloong, indicating that he had lowered the price of this item.
Zhang Xiaoloong quickly responded. In fact, if it wasn't for the few words that Master Huang had said before the auction, it probably wouldn't have attracted such high enthusiasm.
This item was taken down by Huang Zhiyong, and he was still looking at it from various angles. The guests below were also discussing it. The shock that the jade phoenix gave everyone was indeed very great.
The following items naturally wouldn't enter everyone's eyes, but because it was a charity auction, there were very few things that went unsold.
Only when the last item was sent over and Huang Zhiyong opened it to look did he move over from the Jade Phoenix.
When he saw this item, he also sucked in a breath of cold air and looked around. He thought to himself that these people were really generous today.
Thus, he stood up for the second time today and walked forward with this treasure.
However, this time, he did not keep it in suspense and directly took out the treasure.
"This is a blue diamond, displayed on its certificate. It weighs about 51.88 carats, if it's only in terms of artistic value, it is not as good as the previous Jade Phoenix. "Huang Zhiyong smiled and quickly changed the topic. "But we know that the value of this giant diamond is its value. Now that we have seen this one, I roughly estimate that... Its value is at least above 100 million USD. "
On the big screen, this blue diamond had already displayed its perfect luster, and everyone could even see a circle of pink gloss from it.
Just like the Emerald Phoenix, this item once again garnered everyone's admiration.
Even Chen Yaru couldn't help but feel that this diamond was really very beautiful.
"This item is the undisputed king of tonight. I wonder which friend donated it?"
