I earn really hard money

Chapter 300 The Heart of the Ocean
"It was an unforgettable night. The stars in the night sky told me that there is still a shining treasure that has not appeared. I wonder if my intuition is right?"

Phoenix waited for a while, and when no one spoke, he began to play tricks. This was specially explained by the Lensterma family, and it was also his job.

He Xia had a strange expression on his face. When Pilias saw the cowhide bag, he said a sapphire scared him, and now the auctioneer used words like shining to describe the upcoming lot. It was really a bunch of coincidences ...

He didn't wait any longer, and raised his hand to the staff not far away.

Phoenix's eyes were very sharp, and he saw He Xia in an instant, and said, "Mr. He from the Heavenly Dynasty."

Following his voice, many people looked at He Xia.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the item I am offering is a bit different, because I am reluctant to transfer it completely, so I only auction the right to use it for one month. Please know and understand."

He Xia stood up and took out an old cowhide bag from his pocket, which had a sense of age.

The Duke of Lenstermar and Polarton looked at each other. What kind of treasure is it that only sells the right to use it for one month? Are you sure this is not a grandstanding?
Many people present have the same doubts in their minds. What kind of treasure is sold every month and can sit in the venue. Who has never seen a good thing?

"I believe this item must have extraordinary commemorative value for Mr. He, please show it to us, please?" Phoenix said with a smile.

He Xia opened the leather bag and slowly pulled out the diamond necklace, a stream of light appeared between his palms, just as Phoenix said, the shining treasure, everyone knows that this is the light emitted by top diamonds!

When the women present saw that it was a diamond necklace, they immediately became interested, but even if it is a high-end diamond necklace, it should not only have the right to use it for one month...

From a distance, Serena stared at He Xia with extreme curiosity. She had already received the order, and the reserve price of this lot was in her hands.

"Oh, a diamond necklace full of charm, my God, it shines as beautifully as the stars scattered on the banks of the Geneva River tonight..."

Before Phoenix could finish his words of praise, the diamond necklace came to an end, and then a bewitching blue sprayed out of the leather bag!

Not only did Phoenix's voice stop abruptly, but the entire venue fell silent. The expressions on everyone's faces were frozen, with doubt and surprise on their brows.

Even the Duke of Lensterma, who has been passed down as a nobleman for more than 200 years and has seen many treasures, rubbed his eyes while standing on the stage, thinking that he had read it wrong.

Pilias was sitting next to He Xia. He tilted his body and looked up at the blue diamond pendant under the diamond necklace. Deep down!

"By chance, H·E Investment Company was lucky enough to get this Heart of the Ocean. It was seen again after nearly a hundred years. In order to save more small animals, I will auction off the right to use it for one month. Thank you."

He Xia put the necklace on the tray held by the staff nearby.

Following He Xia's actions, the bodyguards standing around the opera house became nervous!
It is no exaggeration to say that the value of the Heart of the Ocean is ten times higher than the sum of all other auction items...

Regardless of whether it is genuine or not, the appearance of high-priced jewelry represents danger. This is the sweet pastry in the eyes of international gangs of robbers. If any guy gets the news in advance and ambushes around, that is not a trivial matter!
The staff had been staring blankly for a long time, and it was not until the weight on the tray changed that he came back to his senses, turned around and walked towards the stage with heavy steps, holding the tray tightly with both arms, fearing that someone would accidentally drop the necklace. To fall to the ground!

"Heart of the Ocean?"

The necklace moved, and everyone present regained their senses and couldn't help discussing.

"Did Mr. He just say the heart of the ocean? Could it be the heart of the ocean in the Titanic movie?"

"Besides the heart of the ocean, are there other hearts of the ocean? Maybe it's the star of hope?"

"No! The shape of the Star of Hope is completely different from that of the Heart of the Ocean. Could it be a piece of Tanzanite?"

"It's impossible for the boss of H·E Investment Company to use tanzanite to make up the number, and there will be an on-site appraisal later, no one can afford to lose that person!"

"But that gemstone is clearly only a legendary item, but it actually exists, which opened my eyes!"

Most of the people here are from all over Europe and are deeply influenced by the diamond culture. Almost everyone has heard the relevant stories about "Star of Hope" and "Heart of the Ocean".

Some people believe that the "Heart of the Ocean" is a fabricated treasure and only belongs to the creation of art since they were young. Some people believe that the "Heart of the Ocean" really exists, but it was left in an unknown corner for some unknown reasons.

Everything, just wait for the identification to have the answer!
People in the bustling opera house were shocked by the appearance of the Heart of the Ocean, and in a quiet corner of the hotel, three people entered the hotel from a dead corner of surveillance.

These people are agile and nimble, and they have a good grasp of movement and stillness, and they can always make effective movements before the camera sees them.

After a while, the three of them moved to the top floor of the hotel, and then quietly lurked down.

All this is almost invisible, except, of course, to the person who arranged for them to enter the hotel.

In the opera house, Pilias waited until He Xia sat back on his seat, grabbed his arm with an excited expression: "Xia, you actually only showed me the part of the diamond necklace, why don't you let me see you?" Let me see that legendary blue diamond!"

Thinking of the appearance of He Xia in Huguang Manor before, Pilias felt a toothache. Once, the legendary gem was close at hand, but he couldn't appreciate it...

Several other friends around looked at He Xia curiously. They really wanted to know why this legendary gem appeared in Boss He's hands. It was so surprising!

Legends are legends after all, and no one knows what is going on in reality.

He Xia smiled and said, "I told you to keep it a secret. What if you come up with a better lot? I dare not underestimate the paintings of Master Picasso!"

"I……"

Pilias let go of his hand and shook his head speechlessly. If the blue diamonds are identified as real natural diamonds, then the price of this string of necklaces is simply incalculable. His family does have great Picasso paintings, but they are reluctant to auction them. what!
The gems were delivered to the stage, and both Lunsterma and Boraton couldn't help but stepped forward to watch them closely. Even though they often saw the big diamonds on the grandma's crown and scepter, they still couldn't help being amazed!
"What a stunning gem, Mr Ho, thank you for allowing me to see it."

Boraton stood on the stage to express his gratitude to He Xia.

Some treasures do not have to be owned, even if you can appreciate them, it is an honor.

It's a pity that not everyone can have such a state of mind. For example, the women present are better if they have strong concentration. Some women who cherish jewels and have mediocre self-control ability already have extremely longing rays of light in their eyes!
And some of the men around these women began to complain about He Xia, you said you can show off if you want, it makes it difficult for me...

Those men who bring social girls to attend are old gods, and they don't care about the attitude of the women around them. Don't even think about the four characters!

The old German gentleman who wanted to become the honorary chairman, Herman, drooped the corners of his mouth, and the word "unhappy" was clearly written on his face.

Looking around at the ladies around, it was already difficult to maintain an elegant sitting posture, and he knew that even if it was only for one month's use, it was a sure bet!

Take another even better treasure for auction?

No, that's not something he's willing to do, and it's not necessary, the price is too high...

Phoenix looked at the brilliance and brilliance of the diamond necklace on the auction table, and his heart beat faster. It had been a long time since he had been so close to a legendary jewel. He took a pair of gloves from his assistant and carefully touched the cold necklace. .

"Everyone, I think everyone has a pious heart for this legendary gem, but it is difficult for us to understand its mystery with the naked eye. We should invite our professional appraiser to appraise it for everyone!"

This time, not only all the appraisers sent by Christie's came to participate in the appraisal, but also some celebrities at the scene revealed their identities. Also participated in the appraisal work.

This time, no one criticized the so-called one-month use right anymore, because no one would be willing to sell such a treasure, and all the proceeds would be donated to charity.

If it's just the string of diamond necklaces, it seems a bit of a big deal, but with the legendary gemstone underneath, not to mention the right to use it for one month, the right to wear it for the first time after reappearing in the world can be overwhelmed!
Some people estimated in their minds, referring to the top jewelry auction prices in the past ten years, guessing that if this Heart of the Ocean is really put up for auction, of course it will be an auction after a regular auction house conducts publicity previews, and it will definitely set a staggering sky-high price. [-] million US dollars as a base!

The appraisal process is a bit time-consuming, because not all the people involved in the appraisal not only do not work, but also make troubles. Some celebrities use the guise of the appraisal to appreciate it up close, and it is hard to drive away because of face...

During this time, Duke Lensterma specifically found He Xia to chat with him for a while, inquiring about the origin of "Heart of the Ocean".

He Xia was blunt, and it was still the same rhetoric. There was a relationship between the ancestors and the Earl of Hungerford...

Duke Lensterma didn't doubt this, but he had every reason to doubt the possibility that the earl's family owned a diamond of the "Heart of the Sea" level!
Everyone is aristocratic, and the situation of their ancestors is clear.

It's a pity that there is no way to trace back...

Originally, the auction was coming to an end, and everyone was a little sleepy, but they didn't expect the last show, a good show, which made the people present excited.

The rich and powerful are also human beings, and they also have emotions and desires, but the factors and levels of emotional fluctuations are different. Jewelry of this level is enough to stimulate everyone's excitement...

Although this auction is not open to the public, everyone believes that related news will soon flow out and be widely circulated in major media.

H·E Investment Company will also take advantage of this opportunity to make a name for itself.

After half an hour of appraisal, the ladies participating in the appraisal reluctantly left the stage.

In the end, the appraiser of Christie's still gives the result.

After identification, the blue diamonds in the diamond necklace, including the pendant, are all natural diamonds. It is preliminarily judged that this shocking sapphire was produced in the diamond deposit on the banks of the Kibna River in India, which has long been deserted.

There are a total of 68 diamonds in the necklace, with a weight of about two carats. The error is very small, plus or minus 45 carat. The weight of the giant blue diamond Ocean Heart in the pendant is about [-] carats.

Since the right to use it for one month is only auctioned, the weight is not so accurate. If you want to know a more accurate weight, you need to use some instruments, which are not available in the venue.

Next, the appraiser gave the appraisal results on the color, clarity, cut and fluorescence of the diamond necklace, all of which were top-notch. Only in terms of cut, individual diamonds lacked heat, which was different from that given by Pilias. The results were similar.

"Thank you, Mr. He, for providing such an extraordinary treasure to the foundation. Honorable Mr. He, please give a starting price that you think is appropriate. I am not qualified to set a price for such a treasure."

Phoenix asked respectfully, but he really couldn't make up his mind.

He Xia smiled and said, "Let's start with £100 million!"

The bidding started at 100 million pounds, and there was only one month's right to use it. It had to be said that it was quite expensive, but everyone didn't feel anything wrong.

Peerless jewelry worth hundreds of millions of dollars, even if it is rented for a month, the cost is more than this price, and the security fee alone is sky-high...

"The legendary gem, Heart of the Ocean, one-month use right, starting price, 100 million pounds, please start bidding!"

"150 million..."

"180 million!"

"200 million!"

"300 million!"

After Phoenix finished speaking, the price instantly soared to 300 million pounds!

Catherine, a member of the Dutch royal family, turned her head to look at He Xia and smiled from afar to show her politeness.

She had ridiculed He Xia's act of providing jewelry before, thinking it was nothing special, but this time she just wanted to slap herself secretly.

Catherine very much hoped that He Xia could put the "Heart of the Ocean" up for auction, but she also knew that if it were really auctioned, she would not have the strength to compete, unless the core of the royal family had that kind of financial resources.

She believes that after today, when the news of the re-launch of the Heart of the Ocean spreads, He Xia will definitely be disturbed by many people!

The royal families of various countries are almost obsessed with the pursuit of diamonds, and the top jewelry companies must also want to keep it for themselves...
