Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property.

Chapter 535 Charity Gala (2)

"Six hundred thousand."

Lu Jiaxin knew it was Li Huini from the shouting. Her classmate was also a tyrant. Others would add 50,000 at a time, but she would add 100,000 directly. How could anyone play like this?

Zong Shimeng raised the sign again and shouted, "800,000."

Seeing the two of them raising the price so much, no one else dared to compete anymore. The two of them went back and forth, and finally Li Huini won and won the jade ruyi at a price of 160 million.

Next came the porcelain, two 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 not very popular.

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

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

Nie Zhan saw Lu Jiaxin staring at Zhenzhu without blinking: "Like?"

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

Nie Zhan thought the pearls in this necklace were a little small. His friend's sister had a silver South Sea pearl necklace. Well, I'll contact my friend tomorrow to see if his sister is willing to give it up.

The starting price of this light gold pearl necklace was two million, and according to the rules, each bid must not be less than one hundred thousand. However, Lu Jiaxin liked this necklace, and followed Li Huini's example and directly raised the price by two hundred thousand. Sure enough, many people gave up after she made this bid. This was the richest woman in Hong Kong, so there was no need to compete with her financially, but there were also people who competed with her.

"360."

The highest bidder wins at an auction, so there's nothing to say. Lu Jiaxin raised the price to 400 million, but the other party immediately bid 410 million.

Lu Jiaxin couldn't help but look at the person who was bidding the price. She was a young woman in her twenties. She didn't know whether she really liked the necklace or was deliberately raising the price. After thinking for a moment, she shouted, "450 million."

Lu Jiaxin and the young woman exchanged prices, and soon the price of the pearl necklace reached 710 million.

The other party added 10 each time. Lu Jiaxin's eyes flashed a fierce look, and then she deliberately shouted in a tone with a hint of gunpowder: "800 million."

When the other party heard this, he immediately called out a price of 810 million.

Seeing that Lu Jiaxin didn't say anything, Nie Zhan wanted to raise the sign, but was 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 worth more than 200 million. However, this is for charity, and she really likes it, so it doesn't matter if the price is doubled or doubled. But if someone is trying to take advantage of her, she would rather not. There are so many good things in this world, and it is impossible to own them all.

"810 million per time..." When calling out the price, the auctioneer looked at Lu Jiaxin, but unfortunately, Miss Lu was looking down and talking to the man beside her.

“810 million twice, 810 million three times… Congratulations, Miss Lu, the necklace is yours now.”

The hammer fell, marking the end of tonight's charity gala.

Zong Shimeng smiled and said, "Jia Xin, you are right. The market value of this necklace is just over two million. It is not worth eight million."

When Lu Jiaxin was bidding just now, she winked at Nie Zhan several times to persuade him to stop, but unfortunately Nie Zhan just shook his head gently. She was also feeling that this was not the way to spend money, and if she really spent eight or nine million to buy this necklace because of a dispute of pride, tomorrow's gossip magazine would definitely be full of sneers. It's so frustrating to think about spending a large sum of money and being ridiculed! Fortunately, Lu Jiaxin was rational and kept her composure at the critical moment. Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I bought it for five or six million, and I will consider it as a contribution to Hong Kong City's charity. But they deliberately raised the price to make me pay more. It's not like I have too much money to spend."

Paying more money is no big deal, but being fooled by others will be ridiculed if it gets out.

When they got outside, Zong Shimeng said, "The one who was competing with you just now is Lu Xiaozhou, the daughter of the second branch of the Lu family of Fuheng Jewelry Company."

Lu Jiaxin asked, "Is it because Wufu Jewelry is competing with the two companies that she deliberately raised the price?"

Nie Zhan denied this statement: "In doing business, everyone relies on their own abilities. The rapid development of Wufu Jewelry is due to our good business philosophy and policy.

"Fuheng is also developing very well, and the company is now managed by the eldest wife of the Lu family. They will not deliberately raise the price because of this incident. There must 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 didn't like Nie Jingting. Not long after you came back, Lu Xiaozhou's sister fell in love with you. The elders of both sides wanted to bring you together, but you said you didn't want to meet each other, so the matter ended in nothing. After you and Jia Xin fell in love, Lu Xiaozhou's sister went abroad for further studies. As for whether she has let it go now, I'm not sure."

Judging from the way Lu Xiaozhou was deliberately arguing, it seemed that her sister had not let it go yet.

After hearing this, Nie Zhan looked at Lu Jiaxin nervously, afraid that she would be angry because of the misfortune he had brought upon herself.

Lu Jiaxin said with disdain: "She's mad at me just because Nie Zhan didn't like her sister. Is she mentally ill?"

"It has to be consensual for both parties to see each other. If they don't want to, it's a heinous crime? Do you think all the girls in her family are princesses? If they like her, they have to marry her home? In ancient times, many royal princesses were rejected!"

Nie Zhan comforted him, "It's okay. I will help you get rid of this anger."

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "Every family has two people with unclear minds. There is no need to create an enemy because of such a small matter."

Zong Shimeng also felt that there was no need to make a big fuss, 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 matter and ask her to discipline Miss Lu."

Jia Xin was generous and didn't argue with her, but not everyone has this tolerance. Today, Miss Lu was obviously provoking her, and if she really retaliated, the Lu family would have nothing to say.

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

After returning home, Zong Shimeng called the eldest wife of the Lu family. She did not mention the little grudge between Lu Xiaozhou and Lu Jiaxin, but chatted with her about family matters and made an appointment to play mahjong.

The wives of the house were generally very shrewd. She knew that calling her so late to chat must have other intentions. Thinking of the charity banquet mentioned by Zong Shimeng, she immediately asked someone to inquire about it.

The next afternoon, Zong Shimeng told Lu Jiaxin what happened next: "Mrs. Lu originally wanted to bring Lu Xiaozhou to apologize to you, but I guessed you didn't want to see her, so I helped you refuse."

Lu Jiaxin felt that Lu Xiaozhou's parents were reasonable: "I didn't suffer any loss from this matter, so there's no need to apologize."

Lu Xiaozhou bought the pearl necklace herself. Eight million is not a small sum, and she definitely can't afford it. This matter is enough for her to bear.
