Chapter 536 Charity Gala (2)

“Six hundred thousand.”

Lu Jiaxin knew it was Li Huini when she heard the shouting. Her classmate was also a shrew. Others were bidding 50,000 by 50,000, but she directly bid 100,000. How could anyone play with her?

Zong Shimeng raised the sign again and shouted: “800,000.”

Seeing the two of them bidding so much, no one else dared to argue anymore. The two of them went back and forth, and finally Li Huini won and won the jade ruyi for 1.6 million.

Next was the porcelain, two calligraphy and paintings, and then it was Nie Zhan’s limited edition watch. Lu Jiaxin originally thought that his watch would be more popular than her own jade ruyi, but it only sold for 580,000 Hong Kong dollars. Well, in Hong Kong, beautiful antiques with good meanings are still popular, and limited edition luxury watches are limited in popularity.

What Lu Jiaxin didn’t expect was that the finale of the auction was a light gold South Sea pearl necklace, which was not in the auction album.

The auctioneer first explained to everyone that this item was donated by a mysterious lady. Because it was delivered this morning, it was not announced in time.

Nie Zhan saw Lu Jiaxin staring at the pearls without blinking: "Do you like it?"

Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "I like it, it's very beautiful, I must get it."

Nie Zhan felt that the pearls of this necklace were a little small. His friend's sister has a silver South Sea pearl necklace. Well, I will contact my friend tomorrow to see if his sister is willing to give it up.

The starting price of this light gold pearl necklace is two million. According to the rules, each bid must not be less than one hundred thousand. However, Lu Jiaxin likes this necklace and directly raises the price by two hundred thousand like Li Huini. Sure enough, many people gave up when she called the price. This is the richest woman in Hong Kong. There is no need to compete with her financially, but there are also people who compete with her.

"3.6 million."

The highest bidder wins the item at the auction, so there is nothing to say. Lu Jiaxin raised the price to 4 million, but unexpectedly, the other party immediately called for 4.1 million.

Lu Jiaxin couldn't help but look at the person who was bidding. She was a young woman in her twenties. She didn't know whether the other party really liked the necklace or was deliberately raising the price. After thinking for a while, she shouted: "4.5 million."

Lu Jiaxin and the young woman bid back and forth, and soon the price of the pearl necklace reached 7.1 million.

The other party increased the price by 100,000 each time. Lu Jiaxin's eyes flashed a fierce look, and then she deliberately shouted in a tone with a hint of gunpowder: "8 million."

The other party immediately shouted out the price of 8.1 million.

Nie Zhan saw that Lu Jiaxin didn't say anything and wanted to raise the sign, but he didn't expect to be stopped. Lu Jiaxin said: "It's okay, since she wants it, just give it to her."

Although Australian South Sea pearls are relatively precious, the quality of the necklace being auctioned is only more than 2 million. However, this is for charity, and she really likes it, so it doesn't matter if the premium is one or two times. But if someone is competing with her and taking her as a sucker, she would rather not have it. There are so many good things in this world, and it is impossible to have them all.

"8.1 million once..." When bidding, the auctioneer looked at Lu Jiaxin, but unfortunately Miss Lu was talking to her male companion with her head down.

"8.1 million twice, 8.1 million three times... Congratulations, Miss Lu, this necklace is yours now."

The hammer fell, which also meant the end of tonight's charity party.

Zong Shimeng smiled and said, "Jiaxin, you are right. The market price of this necklace is just over two million. It is not worth buying it for eight million."

When Lu Jiaxin bid just now, she winked at Nie Zhan several times to persuade him to stop, but unfortunately Nie Zhan shook his head gently. She was also lamenting that money should not be spent like this, and if she really spent eight or nine million to buy this necklace because of a dispute of will, tomorrow's gossip magazine would definitely be sarcastic. It's so frustrating to spend a lot of money and be ridiculed! Fortunately, Lu Jiaxin was rational and kept calm at the critical moment.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I would have bought it for five or six million, and considered it a contribution to Hong Kong's charity. But they deliberately raised the price to make me pay more. I don't have too much money to spend." Paying more money is a small matter, but if it is played by others, you will be laughed at. When they got outside, Zong Shimeng said, "The one who was competing with you just now is called Lu Xiaozhou, the daughter of the second wife of the Lu family of Fuheng Jewelry Company." Lu Jiaxin asked, "Is it because of Wufu Jewelry that the two families are competing, so she deliberately raised the price?" Nie Zhan denied this statement: "In business, everyone relies on their own abilities. The rapid development of Wufu Jewelry is because of our good business philosophy and policy. "Fuheng is also developing very well, and the company is now in the hands of the first wife of the Lu family. They will not deliberately raise the price because of this incident. It should be other reasons." Seeing his serious analysis, Zong Shimeng smiled and said, "Nie Zhan, your Nie family once intended to marry into the Lu family, but Lu Xiaozhou's sister did not like Nie Jingting. Not long after, you came back, and Lu Xiaozhou's sister fell in love with you. The elders on both sides wanted to bring you together, but you said you didn't want to meet each other, so the matter ended in vain. After you and Jiaxin fell in love, Lu Xiaozhou's sister went abroad for further studies. It's unclear whether she has let it go now. "

Looking at Lu Xiaozhou's deliberate argument, it should be that her sister hasn't let it go yet.

Nie Zhan looked at Lu Jiaxin nervously, fearing that she would be angry because of the misfortune he brought upon her.

Lu Jiaxin said with disdain: "Just because Nie Zhan didn't like her sister, she took her anger out on me. Is she mentally ill?"

"Meeting each other must be consensual. If she doesn't want to, it's a heinous crime? Do you think all the girls in her family are princesses? If they like them, they must marry them home? Many royal princesses in ancient times were rejected!"

Nie Zhan comforted: "It's okay, I will help you get rid of this bad feeling."

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "There are no two people in this family who are not clear-headed. There is no need to create an enemy over such a trivial matter."

Zong Shimeng also felt that there was no need to start a war, and said with a smile: "Nie Zhan, Jia Xin, I have some friendship with the eldest wife of the Lu family. I will tell her about this and ask her to properly discipline this Miss Lu."

Jia Xin is generous and doesn't care about her, but not everyone has this tolerance. Today, this Miss Lu is clearly arrogant. If she really goes back with revenge, the Lu family will have nothing to say.

Nie Zhan said: "Then I'll trouble my sister-in-law."

When Zong Shimeng got home, he called the eldest wife of the Lu family. He didn't mention the little grudge between Lu Xiaozhou and Lu Jiaxin, and just chatted with her and made an appointment to play mahjong.

The wife in charge is basically a human being, so calling her to chat with her so late at night must be a drunkard's fault. Thinking of the charity banquet mentioned by Zong Shimeng, she immediately asked someone to inquire about it.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zong Shimeng told Lu Jiaxin: "Mrs. Lu Er originally wanted to bring Lu Xiaozhou over to apologize to you. I guessed that you were not happy to see her, so I refused for you."

Lu Jiaxin felt that Lu Xiaozhou's parents were quite reasonable: "I have nothing to lose from this matter, so I don't need to apologize."

The pearl necklace was taken by Lu Xiaozhou herself. Eight million is not a small amount, and she will definitely not be able to get it. This was enough for her to endure.
