The auction was held in a low-key and luxurious manner. Except for the organizer and invited guests, no media or other unrelated persons attended.

Jiang Li arrived late with her in hand. Even though the two of them had kept a low profile, there were still well-informed and interested people waiting early, with sharp eyes coming up to chat.

Lu Mingyue became the perfect shield.

"I'm sorry everyone, I came here with my wife to relax today. If there is anything else, we can talk to the company another day."

Jiang Li's tone was not cold, but his attitude was very clear.

The few people who came together just wanted to build a relationship, and they smoothed things over with a haha, exchanged business cards, and then went back to each other.

Lu Mingyue laughed and teased him, "Mr. Jiang is really a hottie. People come here wherever he hears about it."

Jiang Li pinched her palm like a punishment, "You are making fun of me?"

"Don't dare."

Lu Mingyue quickly begged for mercy and changed the subject, "What are being auctioned today?"

"Don't worry, someone will send you a picture album before we start later."

Jiang Li took her up to the second floor with ease, where VIPs were usually treated like VIPs, while the lower class were in the lobby on the first floor.

Lu Mingyue looked at the distance from the central stage and asked doubtfully: "Can you still see clearly what is being photographed from such a distance? What if it is a fake——"

Halfway through her words, she suddenly realized that this was someone else's territory, and it didn't seem right to say this, so she immediately swallowed the rest of her words.

Jiang Li laughed and said, "What are you thinking about? If there are fakes in a place like this, there will be no need to deal with it tomorrow."

He pointed at what looked like an enlarged version of an iPad standing in the room, "The screen below will be projected here later, so don't worry about not seeing it clearly."

Then he pointed to the button next to the table, "This is the place where you raise the sign and increase the price."

Lu Mingyue blinked innocently.

This was different from what was written in the novel. She thought she would see the famous scene of two people shouting at each other.

It can only be said that technology has changed life, and auctions have also kept pace with the times and used new equipment.

Not long after, a bell rang outside, and the host's friendly and beautiful voice came from the speaker:

"The auction is about to begin. Please arrive at your seat as soon as possible to enjoy the viewing. Friendly reminder, there is a call button on the right side of your seat. You can press it to participate in the bidding when you see the lot you like. There are 13 lots in this auction, including 3 This is a mysterious lot, and the staff will send the auction album to all distinguished guests later, for reference only."

"The auction is about to begin. Please arrive at your seat as soon as possible to enjoy the auction. Friendly reminder..."

"The auction is about to begin..."

After repeating it three times in a row, the broadcast stopped.

The waiter at the door immediately delivered a picture album. Jiang Li was playing with the tea set and said without even looking at it: "Give it to her."

"You should see if you like it first. If not, there will be three finales later."

He specifically inquired that tonight's three finales were all related to gems and diamonds. Even if they were not finished products, they could still be photographed and polished and designed by themselves.

Lu Mingyue took it and flipped through it briefly. The album was very simple. Except for the detailed pictures and introduction of the auction items, there was nothing superfluous.

The first few are mostly ornaments and decorations. Lu Mingyue doesn't know much about these and only gets a rough idea from watching the excitement.

Turning to the fourth page, her eyes lit up.

The fourth lot is a 5.20tc cushion-cut Burmese unfired pigeon-blood red ruby ​​ring, with the ruby ​​as the main body and surrounded by diamonds with a total weight of over 4ct to set off the magnificent tone of the main stone.

Lu Mingyue fell in love at first sight.

Strangely enough, most people like emeralds, sapphires or blue-green emeralds, but she doesn't really like that kind. She always feels a bit old-fashioned.

But this pigeon blood ruby, she thought it was so beautiful at first sight!

I just don’t know if the price is as beautiful!

Lu Mingyue suppressed her restless heart and continued to scroll back. There was a turquoise jewelry set that she also liked, and she felt it would suit Jiang's mother.

There's not much else, she doesn't understand calligraphy or painting.

Jiang Li handed her a cup of brewed tea, "Have you finished reading? Is there anything you like?"

Lu Mingyue thought for a while, "I think the No. 4 ring and the No. 8 turquoise match my mother's temperament. She should like it."

Jiang Li took the picture album from her hand, flipped through it, and curled his lips.

I have a good eye, and these two pieces are indeed of excellent quality in today's auction.

"Is there nothing you like?"

He closed the album and said, "You don't have to worry about Mom's side. Just look at what you like."

Lu Mingyue was embarrassed to say that except for these two things, she didn't particularly like the other ones. Although they looked very beautiful, they didn't feel like they suited her without trying them on.

He muttered twice: "Well... everything is good..."

Jiang Li understood, "Wait and see what the remaining three items are."

……

Lu Mingyue was very curious about the auction. She had been staring at the big screen from the beginning. After listening to one round of the auction, she looked away without interest.

Honestly, it's pretty boring.

There were only the sounds of the host, the bidding bell, and the waiters calling prices in each room. The first floor was a bit more lively, with some people talking. I don't know if the sound insulation on the second floor was too good. Except for the sounds of waiters calling prices, all rooms were silent.

Jiang Li was used to seeing this kind of scene. He sat there calmly and sipping tea, answering her questions from time to time.

It wasn't until Pigeon Blood Ruby came on stage that Lu Mingyue cheered up.

"The fourth lot is from... with a reserve price of 500 million."

Note, it's $500 million.

Lu Mingyue was also surprised when she heard Jiang Li say it for the first time, but after seeing the crazy price increases in the first two rounds, she can now think calmly: It's okay, it's cheaper than that vase.

In a blink of an eye, the bidding has reached 680 million.

Jiang Li rang the bell directly, and the waiter at the door came in. Jiang Li said directly: "700 million."

The waiter took out something like a walkie-talkie and shouted: "VIP No. 1 bids 700 million."

Lu Mingyue's eyes widened in surprise. No wonder she said those people's voices were quite loud, and they could be heard clearly from such a distance. It turned out they had equipment.

Room No. 3 also seemed to have taken a liking to the pigeon blood red ring, and kept chasing after it until it reached 830 million, and the other party reluctantly gave up.

The host made the final decision, "Congratulations to VIP No. 1 for successfully bidding on this pigeon blood red ring for 830 million yuan. A staff member will deliver the item to the room later."

Lu Mingyue felt very sad and muttered in a low voice: "If no one raised the price, I would have bought it for 700 million."

How much money can be saved? Oh my God, she may not be able to earn this money in several lifetimes.

Jiang Li couldn't help laughing, "It shows that you have good taste."

He squeezed Lu Mingyue's hand on his knee and said in a gentle voice, "You don't have to save money for me. Don't worry, your husband is capable of making money."

He made this small amount of money back by investing in any project.

Lu Mingyue held her chin and sighed, and after a moment she said in a low voice: "I feel that one of the major reasons why I can't make a fortune in this life is that I can't spend as much money as you rich people do."

Only those who can spend money will make money. She didn't believe this before, but now she does.

A small citizen like her, who wants to shop around every time she wants to buy a piece of clothing, will be able to live a comfortable life of small wealth until she dies.

Really rich people never care about these small amounts of money, let alone waste their time on such things. They will only use this time to make more money.

Jiang Li was amused by her somewhat depressed tone, "Want to get rich? How much money?"

Lu Mingyue clasped her fingers and thought carefully, "500 million, no, 1000 million. 1000 million is enough."

1000 million is enough for her and her grandma to live without worries until they grow old.

"Exit."

Jiang Li scoffed at her and took out his cell phone.

"Okay, little kid Lu Caimin, the God of Wealth has heard your sincere prayer and decided to fulfill your wish. How are you going to thank the God of Wealth?"
