After the news was passed on by a few reliable informants, a few tycoons who had no interest in the diamond suddenly became tempted.
Haber.
The king of the tycoons in Dubai!
Especially after Dubai replaced the Abu Dhabi royal family, it became synonymous with the emirate. In recent years, this royal family had even expanded and annexed the businesses of other European companies. Their wealth had exceeded two trillion euros from 300 billion euros six years ago, becoming the world's richest royal family!
As the king of this royal family, he was a tycoon among the tycoons!
Those princes were rich enough, but compared to Haber, they paled in comparison!
Was it expensive to buy a diamond necklace for 200 million and ask for a chance to meet or talk with such a new European dignitary?
It was not expensive!
But what if this diamond necklace could pique his interest and make him owe him a favor?
One billion was not expensive at all!
Because in addition to being a tycoon, Haber was also the chairman of the European Council of Visitors. Even without business cooperation, just being able to enter the Council of Visitors and enjoy membership privileges, one billion dollars? It was not expensive at all.
The tycoons who had been forced to disband back then wanted to switch sides and join a powerful organization, but the guests would not accept them at all. They were very strict.
The honorary members who had joined in the early days had now shown the value of membership!
They had lifetime medical insurance!
Do not underestimate this medical insurance. The medical technology of the guests was different from any hospital in the world. It was top-notch. Many of the members who had joined in the past few years seemed to be able to be cured of any disease. This kind of thing could not be hidden among the circle of tycoons. Many tycoons worked hard to make money when they were young, but how many of them did not have major and minor illnesses when they were old? Some were even incurable diseases, and there were countless of them! The guests saved you, which was equivalent to saving your financial and political life. However, no matter how close your friends were, if you wanted to get in, you could not just recommend yourself. You had to be recommended by a member of the council. Ordinary members did not have that privilege.
Therefore, it was really difficult to get Haber's attention without paying a price with his ridiculously high standards.
"Then, let's start bidding for this Taylor Burton diamond necklace." The host began the auction of the first item.
"The starting bid is 200 million, and each bid must be no less than 10 million!"
As soon as he finished.
The Korean young master raised his paddle. "250 million!"
He felt that the price in the minds of the three people would definitely not exceed 300 million dollars! He directly shouted 250 million, eliminating either one of the two who were still hoping to get lucky.
As soon as he finished speaking, a tycoon in the front row raised his hand. "300 million!"
"320 million!"
"350 million!"
In an instant, people in every corner raised their signs and shouted out their bids. In less than ten seconds, the bid had exceeded 300 million!
The Young Master of South Korea was dumbfounded.
"Didn't you say there weren't many people?" He asked his attendant in exasperation.
"Not much. What's going on? Could it be that they are all acting? "
At this time, the woman next to him saw the diamonds on the stage. Her eyes sparkled and she pulled the young master's clothes. "It's so beautiful, Taylor Burton. Am I seeing things? I love it so much. "
The South Korean young master swallowed his saliva.
The bid had reached 400 million!
Damn, 400 million USD? Was there a mistake?
All of his family's assets were less than 100 billion, and the liquid funds were less than 10 billion. He was not the person in charge, and 400 million was enough for him to tighten his belt.
"It should be a request. Since Xianshu likes it, then I will spend 200 million more. As long as we can have a marriage alliance, this loss is nothing."
He raised his hand. "500 million!"
He stood up directly, wanting everyone to notice his heroic spirit and to let Xianshu beside him feel his willingness to spend a lot of money for her.
However, before he could make a pose and before everyone's attention was on him, the people in the other private rooms and on the stage immediately shouted, "530 million!"
"550 million!"
"580 million!"
Their voices were even louder than his. Many of the audience members were attracted by these bids, and no one's attention stopped on this South Korean young master.
It was as if his bid did not cause any splash at all.
"600 million!" The South Korean young master shouted again. He even exposed the people around him who were bidding and said, "Aren't you guys just trying to raise the price of this diamond? I will buy it for 600 million! Don't go against your conscience even if you're acting as a request. This diamond is only worth 300 million, no more! I will bid 600 million! That's enough. Don't always treat people like fools. If anyone bids more than 600 million, I won't play with them anymore. You guys go ahead and bid. This auction house will also deduct the processing fees if they bid carelessly. Since you guys are acting as a request, don't go back to the auction house later. "
The host and the people around him were dumbfounded by this guy's behavior and words.
The host's expression was especially ugly. "Sir, please apologize to our auction house for using the word 'request.' We've been in this business for so many years, and the most taboo thing is to request a request."
The South Korean young master said, "Alright, you guys go ahead and play. I'll see who's stupid enough to buy this necklace."
Then, he sat down.
The host continued, "600 million going once!"
As soon as he finished shouting, another round of bids came from the stage opposite him.
"610 million!"
"630 million!"
"700 million!"
The host said, "Alright, 700 million going once! Is there any higher bids? "
Initially, no one came for the necklace. In the end, even the host was dumbfounded. They did not expect that the price-to-performance record would be broken by this necklace!
The South Korean young master's eyes widened.
He could even hear the female companions of the wealthy people around him mocking him with disdain.
"Who is this guy? Does he really think he's the only rich one? "
"That's right. Listen to what he said just now. He's treating everyone else as poor people. Little does he know that he's probably the poorest here. He can't even afford to bid for it himself, so he's trying to play tricks like this."
"He's still young, so it's normal for him to be arrogant. Today, I'll let him know that the richer he is, the more low-profile he should be. That's because there will always be people richer than him in this world!"
The South Korean young master's face alternated between red and white. The woman beside him purposely moved two seats away from him. She was afraid that others would think that she came with this guy. She could not afford to embarrass herself like this.
When the Arab boss heard that his diamond had reached 700 million, he was overwhelmed with happiness and couldn't contain his joy.
"1.1 billion going once! Is there any higher bids? 1.1 billion going twice! " The host's voice was already hoarse from the first round of the auction. The main reason was that the bidding was too intense and frequent, and he had to keep talking to keep the audience moving.
The people who came to join in the fun tonight were also motivated by the bidding. The current price of the necklace was enough for them to talk about it in the future.
Dong!
"1.1 billion going thrice! Let's welcome the Russian tycoon from No. 68. He has won the first auction item of the night, Taylor Burton. "
The audience applauded warmly and politely. Then, the tycoon from Russia who won the auction walked down the stairs and onto the stage excitedly.
After that, the South Korean young master saw that the tycoon had gone backstage. He was unconvinced. "I want to see if this is a trap. I don't believe that a fool would spend this price to buy this thing. Otherwise, it must be money laundering!"
As he spoke, he wanted to prove it to his female companion. He said, "If you don't believe me, you can come with me and see."
