Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!
Chapter 75 Entering Beijing 52
"This is what you call a favorite," Xiaomeng said contentedly.
The next item up for auction was a string of natural imperial green beads.
Attorney Deng asked Xiaomeng if she needed the jade bracelet.
Xiaomeng was indifferent. "Are you afraid that I will compete with you?"
Forget about this one; I bought a similar one in Guangzhou last time.
The color isn't too intense; it's a lighter, more delicate green, which is just right.
I've found that anything darker than that green doesn't look good on me.
So I don't want this string of pearls.
You don’t have to worry.”
Attorney Deng smiled and said, "Thank you so much, this string of skewers is just what I wanted."
For many years, I've wanted to get a string of beads like this.
But we were never meant to be and missed each other.
I came here this time just to try and see if I could get my hands on this string of beads.
Attorney Deng is also quite wealthy. She only joined the ranks of those raising placards after everyone else had slowed down.
When she joined, the number had already reached over ten million.
"Are these large jade beads very precious?" Xiaomeng was quite surprised.
“Yes, this string of beads is uniform in color, which means it comes from the same piece of material. The smallest bead is 10 millimeters and the largest is 15.5 millimeters, which is quite rare,” Lawyer Deng explained.
In an auction, the bidders who slowly raise their prices later in the bidding are the truly capable competitors.
To demonstrate his confidence in winning, Attorney Deng raised his bid to 50 yuan each time.
Such determination scared away many bidders.
Because imperial green beaded necklaces are very rare, one or two still appear at auctions around the world every year.
Therefore, the others did not argue with Attorney Deng very hard.
She ultimately won the Imperial Green Beads necklace for a total price of 21 million. Of course, this price includes the auction commission.
Attorney Deng was also satisfied and signed the transaction confirmation document.
Not long after, Xiaomeng won another bid for a diamond necklace, including a massive 77-carat sapphire. Including commission, the total came to 11.5 million.
Xiaomeng and Attorney Deng took turns acquiring a considerable amount of high-quality jewelry.
This infuriated some bidders from other professional auction houses, who were now practically just there to make up the numbers.
Fortunately, Xiaomeng wasn't interested in European antique jewelry.
This left some opportunities for those companies.
Attorney Deng pointed to a set of jewelry on the stage and asked Xiaomeng, "I think this ruby suit from Queen Marie Antoinette is quite nice."
Isn't this style and color perfect for you young people?
"What, you don't like it?"
Xiaomeng quickly waved her hand, "I don't think that Queen Marie is very lucky. Isn't she the one who was beheaded? I learned about her in the chapter on the French Revolution in my history book."
Let's forget about her jewelry.
Those foreigners aren't too bothered by such things, so let's just give it to them.
Antique jewelry with historical significance is quite popular, leading to fierce competition and auction prices reaching over a million.
Xiaomeng guessed that the ruby on it might be because it was a bit small, only about two carats, and its shape was fragmented, which affected the price.
"I think I'll buy some jade bracelets or something." Xiaomeng took a fancy to a dreamy purple jade bracelet.
The catalog describes it as an icy jadeite, and it has developed a gelatinous texture. The most crucial aspect is its color; it is a rich purple, which is very rare, hence the starting bid of 600,000.
Xiaomeng thought it looked nice and bought it for 1.2 million. It seemed cheaper than buying it directly from a jewelry store.
"Such a delicate color only looks good on young girls like you," Lawyer Deng complimented.
"It looks good even if I don't wear it. I just like this color." Xiao Meng thought, "Being rich really lets you be willful; you can buy whatever you want." A bracelet worth over a million yuan—she could buy as many as she wanted.
