"Shui 'er, are you okay?" In the auction hall, Su Ruoyan was checking on Su Shuizhen's condition. Although no one was injured, Su Shuizhen was still shocked, especially when someone died in front of her. Fortunately, Su Shuizhen's reaction was not very strong. She was just a little flustered. Now, she directly grabbed Li Huailin's hand and refused to let go.
"Miss Su, do you want to find a doctor to help you? I know a lot of doctors here, and they are all quite good doctors," Kevin immediately said.
"I'm fine, I'm fine …" Su Shuizhen said, "I was just scared. Sister, brother-in-law, I'm fine …"
"Really, why is the public security in the United States so bad?" Li Huailin said, "There are people robbing people on the street."
"I think that young man just took too many drugs at night." Kevin shook his head and said, "So, it's better to find a security company."
"Yeah, Huailin, I also think we should find one." Su Ruoyan also said, "I suspect that the previous person was sent by the casino."
This was really a misunderstanding of the casino. If the casino over there heard this, they would probably cry. It was a great injustice.
"No, Miss Su," Kevin immediately said. "The casinos in the United States are all legal casinos. It's absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen. That young man just happened to take too many drugs and we encountered him."
"Okay, okay." Li Huailin waved his hand. "Find a security company and send two people who are slightly more reliable."
"Of course, Mr. Li," Kevin immediately said. After that, he walked to the side and started to make a phone call.
"Why don't we find a hotel for you to rest first?" Su Ruoyan asked again.
"Sister, I'm really fine." Su Shuizhen said again, "The auction is about to start. I'm not leaving. Now that brother-in-law has money, buy me something to calm me down."
"Okay, it doesn't matter." Li Huailin spread out his hands. "Anyway, you know how much money I have. If you see something you want, buy it yourself."
"No, no. I want my brother-in-law to buy it for me." Su Shuizhen said immediately.
"What's the f * cking difference?" Li Huailin facepalmed. He really couldn't understand the thoughts of some women. "Alright, I'll bid for whatever you want. But what exactly is this auction for?"
"This is an auction of celebrity items, mainly auctioning off some celebrity items. For example, this pair of rings that I want to buy used to belong to a football player named Marcone, but now that he's bankrupt, he's put them up for auction. The other items are more or less the same," Su Ruoyan said.
"Isn't that a second-hand market …" Li Huailin said. "You can even hold an auction there …"
"Some things are still very valuable." Su Ruoyan said, "The finale item of this auction is a diamond ring worn by a very famous Marilyn Monroe in the United States more than two hundred years ago. It is said that it was given to her by a tycoon at that time. After her death, it was kept intact by another collector until the descendant of this collector recently auctioned it."
"Oh?" Li Huailin was a little taken aback. "Then this sounds even more awesome. Why don't we buy it?"
"It's too expensive." Su Ruoyan immediately said, "The starting price is one million US dollars. It's hard to say the final price, but it will be at least three million."
"Isn't that enough?" Li Huailin said immediately, "Which one do you think is better?"
"This …" Su Ruoyan hesitated a little. To be honest, of course, Marilyn Monroe's diamond ring was better. No matter from which angle, there was no comparison between the two. However, the price was too much …
"Okay, I think we should buy both." Li Huailin suddenly said, "Anyway, this is just an engagement ring. You need a ring for a wedding. Let's buy both. Anyway, we don't lack money."
"Sigh …" Su Ruoyan hesitated for a moment. Ever since she was young, she had never bought such an expensive item. She even felt a little heartache when she bought the ring that cost 250,000 yuan. It took her a long time to decide. She really couldn't be cruel to this guy who cost three million.
"It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, I earned the money." Li Huailin waved and said, "I'll buy it for you."
"This … Um …" Su Ruoyan thought about it and nodded. Although it was indeed a little wasteful, she could afford it with her current net worth. Besides, it was Li Huailin who bought it for her.
"Sigh … Brother-in-law will be out of money." Su Shuizhen calculated. The previous ring was 250,000 yuan, and the next one was more than three million yuan. Then, he would be out of money. "Brother-in-law, what are you buying for me?"
"Who cares? Just pick one." Li Huailin said, "If it's not enough, we'll talk about it."
"Please be quiet. Everyone, please return to your seats." "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. I am the host of this auction, Skalow. There are a total of 44 items in this auction. Please take a look at the catalog and don't miss out on the items that you want. Now, I announce that the auction has officially begun. First, let's start with the first item. Please …" Skalow smiled and said, "Everyone, please don't miss out on the items that you want.
As the auction began, Li Huailin asked curiously, "There is a catalogue?"
"Yes, it is published on the official website of the auction house." Su Ruoyan also took out her mobile phone and clicked on a website for Li Huailin to see. "Look here. The ring we want is the fifth item, and the other is the finale item number 44."
"Oh, so convenient …" Li Huailin said, "That's simple. What do you want?"
Li Huailin said as he handed the phone to Su Shuizhen, who was next to him. Su Shuizhen immediately began to look at it.
"I want this … No, no, no, let me see …" Girls always had a little OCD when it came to choosing things. Su Shuizhen also couldn't choose for a long time. While she was choosing, the fifth item had already begun.
"This pair of rings was designed by the jewelry master of Meramur, a famous luxury group in Enamel. It was made in 21XX, and was previously owned by the famous football player Marcone and his wife … The starting price is 100,000 yuan, and each bid must not be lower than 10,000 yuan. The bidding begins now."
"100,000 yuan." Li Huailin raised his paddle.
"That gentleman over there bid 100,000 yuan. Is there a higher bid?" the auctioneer asked immediately.
"…" The scene was a little quiet, as if no one had reacted at all.
"Uh …" The auctioneer was a little stunned. This ring was really good. 200,000 yuan should have been just a random bid. Why didn't anyone respond? "Is there no other bid … 100,000 yuan going once …"
"I … 120,000 yuan." Suddenly, another person stood up and shouted. Everyone turned their heads again and found that it was another Asian who bid, but he looked a little short. He might be Japanese.
"Another gentleman has bid. The current price is 120,000 yuan. Is there any other bid?" The auctioneer said immediately.
The scene quieted down again. The auctioneer felt a little strange, especially since everyone at the scene seemed to be looking at this Japanese man. They looked inexplicable, as if asking him with their eyes, why did you increase the price?
"Then 250,000 yuan." Li Huailin raised his paddle again, and he directly shouted the price of 250,000 yuan.
The auctioneer was also stunned. This price was already a relatively ideal price, but why did he suddenly increase it by so much? He looked at Li Huailin a little and confirmed, "Sir, did you bid 250,000 yuan?"
"Yes," Li Huailin said.
"Okay, then this gentleman bids 250,000 yuan, and …"
"260,000 yuan." Before he finished speaking, the Japanese man shouted again.
"…" The scene was silent again. For some reason, everyone looked at the Japanese man again. Everyone's eyes seemed to be very surprised.
Why was the situation so strange? The auctioneer also didn't know what was going on. Although he didn't know, he felt that there was something wrong, but he still said, "This gentleman bids 260,000 yuan …"
"Then 400,000 yuan." Li Huailin said again.
"What? 400,000 yuan?" The auctioneer and the Japanese man shouted at the same time.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Li Huailin asked.
"You …" The Japanese man pointed at Li Huailin and then sat down. Although he liked this ring, 250,000 yuan was already a high price. 400,000 yuan was completely looking for trouble. He was not an idiot.
Without competitors, Li Huailin soon took down this pair of rings. The Japanese man turned his head and looked at Li Huailin. He seemed to be a little angry.
The auction was still going on. During this period, Li Huailin also helped Su Shuizhen to buy a bag from an unknown celebrity. It was retro style and made of real crocodile skin. The price was 150,000 yuan, so 550,000 yuan was spent. Soon, the auction came to the last item, the last ring.
The auctioneer also introduced the ring very seriously. This ring was really amazing just by looking at it. The diamond on it weighed 10.35 carats and had a diameter of 15.7 mm. It was simply a giant. This diamond alone was estimated to be worth tens of millions of yuan. Coupled with the special history of this ring, it was not a joke to sell it for 3 million US dollars.
Li Huailin now had 2.95 million yuan left, so he was a little worried. However, at the beginning, the person who bid was not Li Huailin. As soon as the host announced the start of the auction, the Japanese man directly shouted a starting price of 1 million yuan. It seemed that Li Huailin was not the only one who wanted this ring.
"2 million." Li Huailin directly shouted without hesitation.
