Chapter 74 Silence is Cambridge tonight.
With Lu Yunque's reassurance, Yun Zijin acted like a cheat during the following auction and never held back on bidding.
Others would raise the price by hundreds of thousands, but she would raise the price by millions or even tens of millions.
At today's auction, everyone present from the major families in the Imperial Capital fully felt the fear of being dominated by the distinguished guest in Box No. 5.
"Sister Yun, you've spent almost 2 billion today, and you really... didn't even blink an eye!"
Sheng Yang swallowed; he knew Yun Zijin was rich, but he didn't know she was so rich.
It hasn't been long since she spent 6 billion last time, and she can still come up with 2 billion. She wouldn't dare to do this if she didn't have 10 billion in cash!
"Ah! I didn't calculate this. Is it two billion?"
After Yun Zijin sent the quotation, he looked up and responded to Sheng Yang's words.
"Of course he has. That piece of Fu Lu Shou jade cost 200 million yuan."
The basketball-sized jades were all opened without any artificial carving. The red, purple, and green colors were almost evenly distributed. It is truly a rare treasure.
I don't know which family would auction such a rare treasure. It can be considered a family heirloom.
That's his sister Yun. She spent two hundred million yuan as if it were two hundred yuan without blinking an eye.
"It's OK. The jade is beautiful. It would look very nice as a decoration at home.
"Sister Yun, please don't keep everything in your home as decorations!"
This makes it very difficult for him to maintain his Taoism!
It's bold to spend two hundred million on ornaments!
"I like it!"
Yun Zijin came to purchase goods today. She thought many of the items could be used as decorations at home.
Sheng Yang was confused, but Yun Zijin's words, "I like it," directly blocked his words.
Li Yuecheng glanced at Lu Yunque. Judging from how Yun Zijin spent money like water, Mr. Lu from their family had to work harder to make money; otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to support his wife.
Lu Yunque has not yet fallen to a state where he cannot even support his wife.
"The last lot is here."
Sheng Hao said one of the few words he spoke today.
The last lot to be auctioned is an imperial green jadeite the size of an adult man's fist. However, only half of the original stone has been opened. The opened part is full green, and those who know the business can tell at a glance that this is an old pit glass-type imperial green jadeite.
However, only half of it is open, and the remaining half has an element of gambling.
One knife makes you poor, another makes you rich, that's what it means.
"Are you interested?"
Yun Zijin liked it very much, but she had already taken enough photos today. If Lu Yunque and the others wanted it, she would not fight for it.
"If we're interested, you won't shoot it?"
Li Yuecheng looked at Yun Zijin expectantly.
Even without Yun Zijin, they could still compete.
"Well, I already have that piece of Fu Lu Shou, so it doesn't matter if I take a picture of this one."
According to Yun Zijin's aesthetic taste, red jade is more to her liking, but unfortunately, this is a piece of green jade.
"Then let's compete. I won't show any mercy!"
Li Yuecheng has already started gearing up.
Fu Ze had been waiting in front of his quotation machine for a long time, and he would make a bid as soon as the time came.
Sheng Hao and Lu Yunque were also on high alert.
The four of them have about the same financial resources. They have competed in many auctions, and there have been winners and losers.
Only Sheng Yang sat beside Yun Zijin: "Sister Yun, are you out of money?"
Imperial Green and Fu Lu Shou are not in the same league. Even if the Imperial Green is a little smaller, its price is incomparable to Fu Lu Shou's.
Yun Zijin glanced at Sheng Yang and said, "How do you know I have no money?"
"Imperial green! Look at those people on the first floor. Even though they know they cannot win, they still want to fight for it."
"I don't mind this little money. I've already filmed Fu Lu Shou today, so let's forget about this."
You can say anything about her but can't say she has no money.
Sheng Yang touched her nose. She felt that Yun Zijin had bid without blinking an eye before but suddenly stopped participating. That meant he had no money.
If he had money, he would have participated in it.
Unfortunately, he has no money.
The final competition was very intense. Yun Zijin heard that the auctioneer was already very tired, but people kept bidding and did not give him any time to breathe.
Yun Zijin looked at the auctioneer's increasingly excited expression on the large high-definition screen in the box and realized that the bidding had reached a white-hot stage.
Now, the price has soared to 180 million. Lu Yunque paused and entered a price of 200 million into the quote machine.
"Box No. 5 is offered at 200 million! Box No. 5 is offered at 205 million! 210 million! Box No. 5 again!
Wow! Box No. 5 today is simply amazing! Box No. 2 is offered at 220 million, and Box No. 5 is offered at 250 million! Is there a higher price?"
300 million! It is still our legendary box today, Box 5!
Is there a higher price? 300 million once! 300 million twice! 300 million, 10 million! It is Box 3! Let's see if anyone can offer a higher price! 350 million! Box 5!
Box 5, are you going to buy all our lots today?
Is there a higher price? Is there a higher price? 350 million once! 350
million twice!
350 million three times! Deal! Congratulations to our legendary box today! The distinguished guest in box 5, this piece of imperial green jade belongs to you!"
Box No. 5.
Lu Yunque raised his lips slightly: "Thank you."
Li Yuecheng: "..."
Fu Ze: I don't want to talk.
Sheng Hao: Silence is Cambridge tonight.
"Congratulations, here's a glass of orange juice for you!"
Yun Zijin picked up the orange juice in front of her and took a big sip with great sincerity.
"Thanks."
Lu Yunque picked up the red wine before him, gestured to Yun Zijin, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"Go away! I don't want to see you these days."
Li Yuecheng picked up his wine glass and drank it all, then said to Lu Yunque frustratedly.
Fu Ze finished the wine in front of him and left in silence.
Sheng Hao chuckled and dragged Sheng Yang away.
Today, four people participated twice in the auction and lost to Lu Yunque. Li Yuecheng and the other three were unconvinced but knew they were not well prepared today. They did not mean to blame Lu Yunque; they just needed to calm down.
"Are they... okay?"
Yun Zijin glanced at the backs of several people with some worry, then turned around and asked Lu Yunque.
"Don't worry, they just feel embarrassed about losing to me. It will be fine in a couple of days."
Lu Yunque won twice today and was in a good mood. When he spoke, he had a smile in his eyes.
"Then why didn't they feel bad when they lost to me?"
She snatched things from them quite a bit today.
"This is different. We all know your financial strength. It's not shameful to lose to you."
