Mommy, the wealthy daddy has come to propose again.
Chapter 656 Not interested
He thought he was not eavesdropping. It was because the conversation next door was so loud that it had to reach his ears. If he had known earlier, he would have been more restrained and would not have exposed his identity.
If you don't watch your mouth and talk nonsense in public, and leak some secrets, you deserve it, and you can't blame others.
The first item at the auction was a blue and white porcelain bowl of considerable age. Bai Ning felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it in Gong Qilin's antique collection room. Upon closer inspection, he found that the pattern was slightly different. Obviously, this one was not as good as his grandfather's.
Gong Qilin has always only collected antiques that are meaningful and valuable. He doesn't like those ordinary things at all. He also received an invitation to today's auction, but he didn't show up at all.
Mr. Gong would not be interested in such low-level occasions, and most of the collections in his collection room are available without any shortage.
Lan Qichen saw Bai Ning carefully examining the patterns on the porcelain bowl, and asked, "Why, is my wife also interested in this antique?"
The reserve price given by the auctioneer was five hundred thousand, which was not considered a high-quality item, but some people still raised the price. Everyone has different tastes, just like different people have different preferences.
"Not interested." Bai Ning shrugged and said indifferently: "The history of this porcelain bowl is not very long. My grandfather has a similar one. At first glance, they look exactly the same, but when you look closely, there are quite a lot of differences. They are not from the same dynasty at all, and their values are also very different."
Since that day when he saw a number of antiques under the guidance of Gong Qilin, Bai Ning's understanding in this area has deepened a bit. Although not as good as that of experts, it is much higher than that of ordinary people.
Lan Qichen gently ran his fingers through her long hair and smiled, "It seems that my baby is becoming more and more capable. She will soon become an expert in antique appraisal. When the time comes, don't forget to mention a few words about your husband in front of the reporters, so that I can also benefit from it."
Bai Ning felt a little embarrassed by his teasing. He glanced at him unhappily, crossed his arms over his chest, turned away and looked at the items in silence.
The quality of the first few antiques was not high. She didn’t like them anyway and had no urge to bid for them. It would be useless even if she bid for them. She probably couldn’t even get into the old man’s collection room.
After about an hour, a rather substantial item finally came on stage. It was an unprocessed pink diamond, weighing three carats, with a purple-pink color and high transparency. It was so beautiful that one could not take their eyes away.
No girl could resist a glittering treasure. All the girls, including Bai Ning, were attracted by this pink diamond as big as a pigeon egg and couldn't wait to get it.
The auctioneer introduced: "This pink diamond presented to you was unearthed in August last year from the famous Sly mine in Country M. It comes with a serial number and a quality certificate. It supports re-inspection. The starting price is 30 million!"
Pink diamonds are hard to come by, even a few tenths of a carat is considered relatively rare, and ones over one carat are hard to come by. There are only a few three-carat diamonds in the world, and it has undoubtedly become the object of fierce competition among the girls present.
Soon, some people started raising signs to raise prices.
The people behind kept chasing after them, and the price went up all of a sudden.
"I'll give you thirty-five million!"
"Thirty-seven million!"
"Forty million!"
……
"Fifty million!"
At first, the increase was only three to five million, but it got bigger and bigger as time went on, and someone even offered a high price of fifty million.
Not only girls were fighting for this pink diamond, but a few men were also following suit, probably because they wanted to buy it and give it to their loved ones.
Bai Ning supported his head with one hand, playing with a wine glass filled with tea, and watched with interest as everyone fought over the same object.
"Qi Chen, how much do you think a three-carat pink diamond is worth?"
