Chapter 146 I thought it was a night pearl, but I never thought it was a spiritual stone
As time passed, around four o'clock in the afternoon, the auction gradually came to an end.
During Xiao Ling'er's visit, he took another photo, which was a calligraphy work by Li Qingzhao.
As the most talented woman in history, Li Qingzhao is a role model for many women in the new era.
When Xiao Ling'er was studying, she liked the historical figure Li Qingzhao very much, so she spared no expense and spent 30 million to take this picture.
Hong Yu couldn't help but sigh again, this real rich woman is different, she can get tens of millions of things without blinking an eye.
As for Zhou Wanrou, who is in box No. 7 next door, she also spent tens of millions on two items, both of which were porcelain.
This woman seems to have a special liking for ancient porcelain.
Downstairs, above the stage.
"Okay, now I would like to invite you to the last lot in this auction. This is a luminous pearl. It is said that it is the one that Empress Dowager Cixi was buried with."
"Of course, whether this is true or not remains to be considered, but this luminous pearl is definitely a top-notch jewelry."
Listening to Manager Gao’s introduction on the stage, the scene became excited again.
Night Pearl, this is definitely a top-notch treasure.
It is very rare in the world.
Otherwise, the majestic Queen Mother of the West would not have buried it in her mouth as the first burial object.
"Night Pearl? This thing is quite new. Usually you can only see it on TV."
Hong Yu was also a little interested. He stared at the screen in front of him and saw a voluptuous waiter walking onto the stage carrying a wooden box.
Inside the box is probably the grand finale of the auction—the Luminous Pearl.
Xiao Ling'er nodded and said: "Brother Xiaoyu, I have never seen what the Night Pearl looks like. Is it really like the legend, which emits a dazzling blue light at night?"
"I don't know, but I should know soon."
Hong Yu just finished speaking.
On the booth in the center of the stage, the waiter opened the wooden box.
Suddenly, a dazzling blue light lit up from the box.
"Damn, isn't this night pearl too bright? It almost blinded me."
"I really didn't expect that this luminous pearl would be so bright. It's broad daylight now. Wouldn't the effect be even more obvious at night?"
"I even suspect that this luminous pearl is the one that Empress Dowager Cixi held in her mouth. Otherwise, it would not be able to emit such a bright light."
"I have been lucky enough to see a few luminous pearls, but the few I have seen are nothing compared to this one and are not worth mentioning."
At the auction site, everyone was shocked by this luminous pearl.
Hong Yu in the box upstairs was also shocked.
His eyes widened.
However, he was not startled by the bright blue light emitted by the night pearl.
Instead, he actually felt an extremely strong spiritual energy on the stage downstairs, spreading around.
The intensity of that spiritual energy is more than ten times stronger than the Spiritual Heart Fruit.
"Could it be...?"
Hong Yu quickly stood up and walked to the window.
Through the curtains that opened a gap, he stared at the night pearl on the stage downstairs.
"Sure enough, it is emitted by this thing. I really didn't expect that this luminous pearl is actually a spiritual stone."
Hong Yu said to himself, shocked and excited.
The so-called "spiritual stones" refer to some ores that have absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
On earth, it is extremely rare.
The Night Pearl on the stage downstairs is probably a top-grade spiritual stone, and even rarer.
"Brother Xiaoyu, this night pearl is really beautiful. I want to take a photo of it."
At some point, Xiao Ling'er also came to the window, leaned next to Hong Yu, and looked towards the stage downstairs.
Hong Yu suddenly came back to his senses and looked at a pretty face less than a fist away from his face, his old face blushed slightly.
He could smell the unique body fragrance of women, which was refreshing.
Feeling a little embarrassed, I quickly took two steps back.
"Sister Ling'er, do you really want to take a picture of this luminous pearl?"
Hong Yu asked, having some thoughts in his mind.
He knew very well that with the three melons and two dates in his pocket, he would definitely not be able to get this luminous pearl.
Wouldn't it be great if Xiao Ling'er could take a photo and borrow it for a few days to absorb the spiritual energy in this night pearl?
Anyway, the spiritual energy contained in this night pearl is of no use to Xiao Ling'er.
"Um!"
Xiao Linger nodded.
She could tell that Hong Yu liked this luminous pearl very much, so she wanted to take a photo of it and give it to Hong Yu.
Anyway, money doesn't mean much to her.
The more than one billion in the card are the dividend money she has accumulated over the years, as well as some pocket money given by her family, and she can't spend it all.
As for the Xiao family, they have no use for the money she has.
If she could use the money to make brother Xiaoyu happy, she would naturally be very willing.
And in Box 1 not far away.
Gu Donghai stood by the window, looking at Ye Mingzhu on the stage downstairs, and frowned slightly.
He always felt that there was something different about this luminous pearl.
But what exactly was the difference, he couldn't feel.
Even though he is a master, he has cultivated his inner energy and can even release his inner energy to the outside.
But he knew nothing about the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"Fourth Young Master, this luminous pearl is a bit strange."
Gu Donghai turned around and said to the fourth son of the Huang family on the sofa.
"oh?"
Fourth Young Master Huang stood up for a rare occasion, held the white cat in his arms, walked to the window, and asked calmly: "Where is the weird thing?"
Gu Donghai shook his head and said: "I don't know what's the specific weirdness, but this luminous pearl made the energy in my Dantian inexplicably agitated."
"This feeling has never happened before."
Mr. Huang didn't take it seriously and said, "Mr. Gu, I'm afraid you're overthinking it. This is just a night-bright pearl. It can't disturb the internal energy in your body."
"Maybe it's my psychology."
Gu Donghai said without saying any more words.
Mr. Huang looked at the luminous pearl downstairs and said in a tone that could not be refused: "Mr. Gu, I will leave this luminous pearl to you."
Gu Donghai knew that the Fourth Young Master of the Huang family was asking him to kill people and buy goods. He was dissatisfied and said in his heart: "Anyone who commits unjust acts will be punished by his own death. This Fourth Young Master of the Huang family relies on his status and does not regard human life as his destiny. He will always be punished."
One day, unfortunately, I was controlled by the Huang family and had to accompany him to do evil."
But on the surface, he still promised: "Fourth Young Master, don't worry, I will definitely help you get it done."
"Mr. Gu, you are always so obedient. No wonder grandpa wants to put you next to me."
Fourth Young Master Huang patted Gu Donghai on the shoulder and laughed coldly.
In fact, this time he came from Yanjing to Jiangzhou, an unfashionable city, just for this luminous pearl.
On the same day, Xu Zhengxiong said on the phone that he would give this night pearl to him.
However, when he arrived in Jiangzhou, he received the news that Xu Zhengxiong was dead.
Moreover, his death was inexplicable.
He asked Gu Donghai to check the place where Xu Zhengxiong died, but the result was the same, and no clues were found.
However, since he came to Jiangzhou, he would not return empty-handed.
Whether Xu Zhengxiong dies or not doesn't have much to do with him, but he is determined to decide on the Xu family's Night Pearl anyway.
Originally, he wanted to use his identity as the fourth son of the Huang family to force the Xu family to give the Night Pearl to him honestly.
He also firmly believed that the Xu family would not be so stupid as to offend him for a night-light pearl, thus causing the Xu family to suffer disaster.
However, after the Xu family met Miss Xu Shuyun, he changed his mind.
How could plundering by force be the behavior of a "gentleman" like the fourth son of the Huang family?
It turned out that he was attracted by Xu Shuyun's pure and beautiful appearance and wanted to take it for himself.
But it's not his style to be tough with women.
He likes women to willingly fall in love with him and be crazily kneaded by him. That is the most satisfying thing.
To achieve this goal, he secretly colluded with several shareholders of the Xu Group and asked them to withdraw their capital from the Xu family and frantically sell off their Xu Group stocks.
In this case, the Xu family will definitely fall into a huge crisis.
As the only person in the Xu family who can take charge of the overall situation, Xu Shuyun must step forward to solve the crisis the Xu family is currently facing.
But how can an inexperienced woman withstand such great pressure? Solve such huge troubles?
You will definitely feel quite helpless and hesitant.
At this time, wouldn't it be logical for him to appear as a savior and win the favor of the beauty?
All of this was realized step by step according to his ideas.
It was his idea to ask Xu Shuyun to auction the antiques collected in her home.
Originally, he wanted to pay directly to acquire some of the assets of the Xu Group to help Xu Shuyun tide over the difficulties, but Xu Shuyun refused, saying that the Xu Group could only have one major shareholder, and that was the Xu family themselves.
He had no choice but to give Xu Shuyun this idea.
As a result, Xu Shuyun agreed.
And in order to thank him for his help these days, I want to have a date with him for dinner tonight.
Thinking that he would be able to hold the beauty back tonight, Mr. Huang couldn't help but smile slightly at the corners of his mouth.
This trip to Jiangzhou was not in vain.
...
At the same time, bidding has already begun downstairs.
The starting price of the Luminous Pearl is set at 50 million.
This price is the highest starting price among the more than 40 auction items in this auction.
It is also the highest starting price in the history of Xintiandi Auction House.
And every time a sign is raised, the price will be increased by 10 million.
The rich boss downstairs is crazy.
In less than a minute, the price had soared to 200 million.
Three minutes later, the price exceeded 400 million.
The bidder was the person in box No. 2, and no one knew his identity.
During this period, Xiao Linger made three bids, once for 100 million, once for 200 million, and once for 380 million.
I thought I was sure to win the third bid, but at the last moment, the mysterious man in Box 2 intervened.
Zhou Wanrou, who was in Box No. 7, was also very interested in the Night Pearl. At the beginning of the bidding, she also made a bid. Later, she realized that the price was too high, so she did not bid any more.
After all, she is not like Xiao Ling'er, who has a huge amount of property given by her parents when they divorced.
All her money was given to her time and time again by her grandfather Zhou Wenchang.
This time when she went to the auction, Zhou Wenchang only gave her 100 million yuan.
"I'm really pissed off. Who is this guy in Box 2?"
Xiao Linger's face turned red with anger, and her cheeks were bulging.
Before, the people in box No. 2 had never made a bid, but who knew that they would come out in the last moment, and they were caught off guard.
Hong Yu was a little numb to the price of 400 million.
Poverty really limits one's imagination.
He originally thought that he could win this luminous pearl with at most 300 million.
After all, other people in this venue did not know the potential value of this luminous pearl, and they just regarded it as a gem.
Since it's just a gem, 300 million should be enough.
As a result, I was slapped in the face.
The price actually reached 400 million, which is really crazy.
However, he did not persuade Xiao Ling'er to give up.
He knew deep in his heart that the spiritual energy contained in this night pearl was no less than a basket of spiritual fruits, and its value was far above 400 million, even one billion, which was not much.
As long as Xiao Ling'er takes the photo, he will definitely compensate her if he makes money in the future.
"Brother Xiaoyu, even if I spend all the balance in my card today, I still want to take a picture of this night pearl."
Xiao Ling'er said with a tone of refusal to admit defeat.
Then, she took the ticker and pressed it five times in a row.
Ding ding ding ding!
The bell outside the box door rang five times at once.
The door frame shone even more five times.
Everyone at the auction downstairs originally thought that today's luminous pearl would belong to the guest in box number two.
After all, four hundred million is already a sky-high price.
Moreover, no one continued to bid for a long time.
Even Manager Gao thought that the pearl of the night was going to be snapped up by the distinguished guest in Box 2, and was about to make a final decision.
After suddenly hearing these five bells, everyone was shocked.
All the bidders were so shocked that their jaws almost hit the ground. They stretched their necks and looked upstairs to see who had bid.
As a result, I saw the door of Box 6 shining brightly.
"Damn it, no way. It's Box 6 again. How much money does this guy have? I saw him take pictures of several things today, among which the bronze wine glass cost more than 100 million. This time it's even more serious.
, 450 million, it’s really crazy, crazy.”
"My dear, four and a half billion, even all my assets combined are not that much."
"Boss Wang, be more confident. If we package and sell you together, we probably won't be able to sell so much."
"Hahaha."
The scene erupted into bursts of laughter.
"Although this night pearl is precious, isn't 400 million a bit too expensive?"
"It is indeed a bit expensive, but for antique jewelry and other things, it all depends on personal preference. If you like it, no matter how much you pay, it is not expensive."
There was a series of discussions at the scene, one after another.
Obviously, this number did not occur to them beforehand.
In Box 1.
Huang Si Gongzi smiled slightly and said to himself: "It's interesting, there are a few rich people in Jiangzhou."
"Mr. Gu, when we take action later, ask which family it is from."
Gu Donghai nodded and said, "I understand, Fourth Young Master."
In box 2.
A white-haired old man squinted his eyes, his face became very serious, and he cursed coldly: "Nang Xipi, who is this guy who is against me? I think you want to die."
