The price of five million made everyone turn their attention to it.
When the crowd saw the bidder, they were stunned.
Hsu Shengzhe!
The second son of Longhua Group!
Longhua Group had an internal conflict. Xu Jianghua's two sons were fighting for the successor position. Many people knew about it.
Jiangbei's business circle knew that the two brothers did not get along.
But in private, even if the two brothers did not get along, they still treated each other respectfully in front of outsiders.
But now, this was an auction!
Many of the people present were big shots in the business circle. Now that the two brothers were at loggerheads, the conflict would be made public, and the impact would not be good.
The people from Jiangbei's Chamber of Commerce were frowning. Xu Jianghua was the President of Jiangbei's Chamber of Commerce.
Now, the two sons of the President were fighting in front of so many people. Wasn't this a joke?
Since everyone was frowning, Li Dong naturally frowned as well.
He was prepared to fight with Xu Rulong to the end. Although he did not have money now, it did not mean that he could not afford it.
He could cash-out a few million in the stock market, and that would be enough.
But now that Hsu Shengzhe had interfered, Li Dong was hesitant.
He understood what Hsu Shengzhe meant. Hsu Shengzhe did not want to see him and Xu Rulong fighting. Therefore, he interfered to stop them from fighting.
But even though he understood, Li Dong had lost face.
After thinking for a while, Li Dong did not say anything.
Since Hsu Shengzhe had interfered, both he and Xu Rulong did not win. Since Hsu Shengzhe was willing to be the peacemaker, there was no need for him to embarrass Xu Rulong.
Li Dong did not say anything, but it did not mean that Xu Rulong would not say anything.
As soon as Hsu Shengzhe bid, Xu Rulong's face turned ashen. He looked at Hsu Shengzhe and said, "Second Brother, are you not going to give Big Brother face?"
Hsu Shengzhe forced a smile and said, "Big brother, I like this pendant very much too. Why don't you let me have it?"
"Haha, Second Brother, Big Brother likes it too. What do you think we should do?"
"If Big Brother likes it, I'll buy a similar one for you when I see a suitable one next time. How about that?"
"That won't be necessary. I'm not short of money."
Xu Rulong laughed and turned to ask his female companion, "Do you like the pendant?"
His female companion was stunned for a moment, then she stammered, "Do … do you like it?"
"It's good that she likes it. Since my, Xu Rulong's, woman likes it, money is nothing!"
Xu Rulong laughed and raised his hand. "8 million!"
Hsu Shengzhe's face turned ashen. He didn't believe that Xu Rulong didn't understand what he meant.
He had bid 5 million to make Li Dong and Xu Rulong stop fighting. There was no need to fight for it and let others laugh at him.
Although his bid would make others laugh at him, they were brothers after all. It was okay for outsiders to laugh at them.
But what about Li Dong?
Was his big brother's brain really flooded with water?
Did he think that Li Dong was easy to deal with? Did he think that Li Dong was easy to deal with?
Not only did he embarrass Li Dong twice, but he did it a third time. If he really angered Li Dong, did he think that Li Dong would let it go?
After dealing with Li Dong for so long, no one knew Li Dong's character better than Hsu Shengzhe.
If Li Dong was really angered, he wouldn't care if you were his big brother or the son of Longhua.
By that time, did Xu Rulong think that Longhua would fight with Li Dong for him?
Suppressing his anger, Hsu Shengzhe said in a deep voice, "10 million! Big brother, be frugal. A few hundred million is only 10 million. It will be gone after you spend it! "
Hsu Shengzhe's words were harsh. He knew how much money Xu Rulong had.
But 10 million was not a piece of toilet paper no matter how rich they were.
If Xu Rulong were to bid again, Xu Shengzhe wouldn't want it anymore and would let him play by himself.
After spending ten million, Xu Shengzhe had offended both Li Dong and himself. Xu Shengzhe could not be bothered with him anymore.
Xu Rulong's face was gloomy. But 10 million was not a small amount. Thinking of this, Xu Rulong snorted and didn't say anything.
Many people heaved a sigh of relief, including Ji Lanxin.
10 million had far exceeded the price of the pendant.
Everyone wanted to sell things at a high price. But Ji Lanxin had been praying in her heart not to bid again.
If she bid again, the auction would be heated up.
No matter who won or lost, they wouldn't have a good impression of Jin Ding Jewelry.
Moreover, she had embarrassed Li Dong and made the two leaders of Jiangbei lose their good impression of her. Even if Jin Ding Jewelry made a lot of money from this auction, it would do more harm than good in the future.
Now that the price stopped at 10 million, Ji Lanxin finally calmed down.
Although 10 million was not a small amount, it wasn't enough to hurt Hsu Shengzhe. The other party could also accept this price, and the impact would be smaller.
As for reducing the price, Ji Lanxin didn't think about it.
People like Hsu Shengzhe were more important than their reputation. If she reduced the price for him, he might think that she was looking down on him. She didn't want to make things worse in the end.
After the competition for the pendant ended, Li Dong and the other two didn't bid again.
Hu Xiaorui, on the other hand, spent 300,000 to buy a pair of earrings.
When Li Dong saw the 300,000 earrings, he couldn't help but shake his head. These rich kids really didn't care about money.
300,000 for such a thing? In the past, Li Dong wouldn't have dared to think about it.
Hu Xiaorui, on the other hand, didn't care about the price. She took the earrings. She felt that she had completed today's task and was overjoyed.
When the last piece of jewelry was put on the stage, the auction came to an end.
The last piece of jewelry was not just one piece, but a whole set.
When this set of diamond jewelry was put on the stage, many people estimated the price to be at least 10 million.
The final result was as expected, and the auction price finally reached 12 million.
The one who won this set of jewelry was not a businessman from Jiangbei, nor was it a rich second generation. It was the most popular A-list celebrity that Ji Lanxin invited tonight.
Li Dong glanced at it and didn't pay it much attention. There were many people who had the same expression as him.
Everyone knew in their hearts whether this set of jewelry was really worth 12 million yuan or not. Everyone also knew whether the star really spent 12 million yuan to buy this set of jewelry.
Nowadays, celebrities weren't as valuable as in the future. 12 million? Did you think you were an international superstar?
Everyone was just supporting each other. In the future, when the celebrity attended an important ceremony, Jin Ding Jewelry would sponsor him. Both parties were mutually beneficial. No one lost out in this transaction.
As for whether there were other conditions, Li Dong couldn't be bothered to care.
After the auction ended, those who didn't buy anything left.
Those who had bought something but couldn't get it now, naturally, they had to leave.
Li Dong wasn't in a hurry to leave. He looked around and then led Shen Qian and Li Dong to a place not far away.
…
Yang Si and her companion were about to leave when her companion suddenly tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Li Dong is here."
Yang Si quickly looked up and saw Li Dong walking over with a smile.
Without waiting for Yang Si to greet him, Li Dong smiled and said, "Ms. Yang, long time no see."
Yang Si hurriedly said, "General Manager Li, long time no see."
Li Dong laughed, then looked at her companion and asked, "This is?"
Yang Si immediately introduced, "This is Liu Qingqing, my friend."
Liu Qingqing waited for Yang Si to finish introducing and smiled brightly. "Hello, General Manager Li."
Li Dong nodded and exchanged a few polite words with her. Then, he said to Yang Si, "Ms. Yang, have you been busy recently?"
Yang Si didn't quite understand what he meant, but she still replied, "Not too busy. I just accepted a movie, and it hasn't started shooting yet."
"That's good." Li Dong looked around and saw that there were many people, and some people were looking at him. Li Dong didn't say much. He smiled and said, "Well, I'll get someone to contact Ms. Yang later. I have something to talk to Ms. Yang about."
Yang Si was stunned. What did Li Dong want to talk to her about?
Although she was puzzled, Yang Si still nodded and said, "Okay, General Manager Li, call me at any time."
As the two were talking, Hsu Shengzhe walked over with a smile and said, "General Manager Li, are you busy?"
Li Dong glanced at him and didn't bother with him.
Today, Xu Rulong made him lose face several times. If it weren't for this guy, he would have made a fuss about it with Xu Rulong.
Li Dong ignored him, but Hsu Shengzhe didn't mind. He smiled and said, "Old Li, are you still angry? Well, I've come to apologize to you. Take it. "
Hsu Shengzhe said and handed over the box in his hand. Li Dong glanced at it and said, "Are you willing to give it to me?"
"Ahem, it hurts a little, but I have no choice. You know my elder brother. It's not worth arguing with him. Just take this thing as a gift from me to sister-in-law. Take it. "
"Forget it. Keep it for yourself."
"Don't." Hsu Shengzhe quickly smiled and said, "If you don't accept it, I won't feel at ease. I'm afraid you'll cheat me. Just keep it."
Seeing Shen Qian and Yang Si were holding back their laughter, Li Dong said impatiently, "What do you mean cheat you? When did I cheat you? "
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing." Hsu Shengzhe's attitude tonight was very low. He half-pulled and half-dragged the box to Li Dong.
Seeing that Li Dong didn't return it, Hsu Shengzhe gently breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll leave first."
Li Dong nodded and didn't speak again.
Since Hsu Shengzhe insisted on helping his elder brother, Li Dong didn't care.
He knew what was in the box. Although the auction price was as high as ten million, in fact, it was only a million.
If Li Dong didn't accept it, Hsu Shengzhe might really be worried.
Although he didn't know when the relationship between the two brothers became better, Li Dong didn't care whether Hsu Shengzhe was showing off or really respected his elder brother. Since Hsu Shengzhe gave it to him, he would accept it.
He had taken a fancy to this thing. It was best to get it back now. It was just the right gift for Qin Yuhan.
After taking the pendant from Hsu Shengzhe, the people who didn't leave all looked over.
Li Dong saw that there were many people staring at him. Yang Si and the others were the main characters of gossip, so he didn't stay any longer. He said a few words to Yang Si and left with his people.
As soon as he left, the rest of the people started to talk in low voices.
The people in the business circle were naturally talking about Hsu Shengzhe. Xu Rulong slapped Li Dong's face, but Hsu Shengzhe made up for Li Dong after slapping Xu Rulong's face.
The behavior of the two brothers made many people sigh. It was true that the dragon had nine sons, and each was different.
Of course, Xu Rulong's behavior was more derogatory, while Hsu Shengzhe won a lot of praise.
Whether this guy was showing off or not, at least his behavior was in line with the businessmen's taste.
The more friends, the more options. Li Dong wasn't a small figure. It was not worthwhile to offend Li Dong for such a small thing.
Of course, outsiders didn't know the relationship between Hsu Shengzhe and Li Dong.
In fact, even if Hsu Shengzhe hadn't given them the pendant, Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe wouldn't have turned against each other.
Xu Rulong was Xu Rulong. Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe wouldn't have taken him seriously.
Whatever Xu Rulong did, it wouldn't affect them.
The businessmen were talking about Hsu Shengzhe, while the celebrities who hadn't left yet were talking about Yang Si.
Many people's eyes were filled with envy. Among those who participated in the auction tonight, Li Dong was the wealthiest.
Although Longhua was more valuable than Far away, Longhua didn't belong to the Xu family alone, let alone the Xu brothers.
Although many people were staring at Hsu Shengzhe, most of them were still looking at Li Dong.
They didn't expect that Li Dong would take the initiative to talk to Yang Si. Before leaving, Li Dong's posture on the phone made many people pay attention to him.
Some were envious, some were jealous, and some were imagining things.
However, neither Li Dong nor Yang Si was in the mood to care.
Li Dong was tormented by Hu Xiaorui, while Yang Si was emotional and hadn't calmed down yet.
The main reason was that Li Dong said he hoped they could work together again. This made Yang Si's imagination run wild.
