Chapter 155 Bidding
But age doesn't really matter anywhere; what matters most is wealth and status.

Perhaps sensing that Song Zhining didn't enjoy socializing, Shao Hongyu withdrew after exchanging a few pleasantries.

He didn't really expect to get along well with Song Zhi Ning; he just wanted to show his face so that he could make connections if anything came up in the future.

The auction began not long after Shao Hongyu left.

Many of the big shots who came today are here for that blue diamond, and of course, for Song Zhi Ning, who is behind the blue diamond.

The fact that she could so generously auction off a nearly two-thousand-carat blue diamond is enough to demonstrate the immense wealth of this Miss Song.

If I could get close to her, then...

Moreover, I heard that she is not married yet, and is young, beautiful and rich. If such a woman could be married into their family and become their daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law, it would be a stroke of great luck.

Therefore, this time, many bigwigs brought their self-proclaimed outstanding descendants with them.

I hope to catch the eye of that Miss Song.

Unfortunately, the auction venue consisted of individual private boxes, and the rooms were anonymous, so it was impossible to see who was sitting inside from the outside.

The people at Tianyuan Auction House kept the information of the guests in each private room confidential, so when they arrived, they really didn't know where Miss Song was; otherwise, they would definitely have gone to pay her a visit.

Now that I can't visit him, I can only hope to run into him at the dinner later today.

If Song Zhining knew this, she would definitely be relieved.

After all, she doesn't like socializing and doesn't plan to socialize with other big shots.

She wasn't a sociable person, and besides, these people were only after her current status and wealth, so Song Zhining felt it was even more unnecessary.

At this moment, Song Zhining was focused on watching the auction.

One by one, the items were brought out for auction, and bidding rose and fell in the private room.

“Miss, if you see anything you like, you can take a picture,” Charles reminded her.

Song Zhi Ning nodded, but so far, she hadn't seen anything that interested her.

The things in that shipwreck were all of excellent quality; she couldn't possibly see them all or use them all, so she didn't need to spend money to buy anything else.

As the president of Xingyao Entertainment, Li Jing naturally also contributed an item to the auction: a beautiful headdress worn by a concubine from the Ming Dynasty.

As each item was sold, the final item was finally up for auction.

"Next is the last item, which is a gift from Ms. Song Zhining, President of Brilliant Entertainment."

"Natural blue diamond".

As those four words were spoken, the cloth was lifted, and under the light, the egg-sized diamond shone with blue light, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

As the turntable spun, the blue diamond was displayed even more closely on the large screen.

The blue diamond lay there quietly, radiating a mysterious and captivating light. Its color was like the deep ocean, azure and clear, as if containing endless mysteries.

Under the light, the blue diamond sparkled brilliantly, its brilliance like twinkling stars in the night sky, or like the dreamlike aurora dancing in the night.

From different angles, blue diamonds refract dazzling and colorful light, each ray seemingly telling a story of its uniqueness and preciousness.

That pure and rich blue seems to attract one's soul, making one involuntarily immerse oneself in its beauty, unable to extricate oneself, just like a masterpiece sketched by nature with the most magical brushstrokes, shining with unique brilliance.

"Beautiful, so beautiful."

"Naturally formed, it doesn't even need to be cut; its original form is the most beautiful."

"Indeed, the power of nature is the most amazing."

"I guarantee that any woman would love this blue diamond if she were given to it."

Everyone at the auction was captivated by the brilliance of the blue diamond, and was full of praise.

The auctioneer then introduced the various properties of the blue diamond, "The starting price for this blue diamond is 1 million, with each bid increment no less than 5 million. The bidding begins..."

"2."

"300 million." "350 million."

……

As soon as the auction started, big names began bidding, and in the blink of an eye, the price reached 20 billion, and it continued to rise.

As prices rise, many who lack sufficient funds are forced to withdraw, leaving only those with ample capital to compete in the bidding.

Li Jing came today intending to bid for the blue diamond, but Song Zhi Ning said she would give it to him as a gift, so there was no need for him to buy it anymore.

In the end, the blue diamond was acquired by a pharmaceutical tycoon for 55 billion.

"Hiss, 55 billion, even if I bid, I probably wouldn't be able to buy it," Li Jing muttered.

It's not that the blue diamond isn't worth the price, but rather that he can't afford that much money. Of course, the Li Group could afford it, but there's no need for it.

If their mother knew that her two brothers had spent 55 billion to buy her a diamond, she probably wouldn't approve.

Song Zhining was also very surprised.

To be honest, Song Zhining didn't know much about the value of diamonds, so before today, she didn't know the value of the blue diamond that was being auctioned today. Just before the auction, when she heard Li Jing say that the blue diamond was worth billions, she was a little dazed and didn't quite believe it.

And now, the blue diamond has indeed been auctioned off for 55 billion, which still feels somewhat unreal to her.

She wasn't distressed about the money; she was just thinking about her several boxes of rough diamonds and jewelry, many of which were about the same size as this blue diamond, and some even the size of an adult's fist.

How much are those worth?

Song Zhining found it hard to imagine. She thought that if she ever needed money in the future, she might consider selling diamonds.

Sell ​​one, and billions come in instantly, wow.

Thinking of Charles's words, she breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she didn't insist on sending him, otherwise Xiao Jing and Brother Shen would definitely have felt burdened.

After the auction ended, Shao Hongyu immediately came to thank Song Zhining for her donation to charity and invited her to the dinner later that evening.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shao, I have something to attend to, so I won't be able to join the dinner. Let's get together again sometime."

Song Zhi Ning had no interest in the dinner and planned to leave first.

When Song Zhi Ning was about to leave, Shao Hong Yu couldn't refuse, but he thought to himself that those who had been waiting for the banquet to see Song Zhi Ning were probably going to be disappointed.

Shao Hongyu was very respectful to Song Zhining. After all, although most of the money from this blue diamond was to be donated to charity, Tianyuan Auction House would still take a cut, which was one-tenth. Just look, this blue diamond alone earned him 5.5 million in commission tonight.

Shao Hongyu was treating Song Zhi Ning like a god of wealth, and naturally, he would do whatever she said and would never dare to offend her.

"Miss, the items have arrived," Charles said, bowing to Song Zhi Ning.

Shao Hongyu strained his ears: Hmm? It's here? What's here?
He was about to see what it was, but ultimately felt it was inappropriate to stay, so he said goodbye and left.

"Then bring it here."

Soon, Charles brought over a gift bag, and Song Zhining took out three boxes from it.

Song Zhi Ning opened the three boxes one by one.

Inside were a blue diamond, a green diamond, and a jade hairpin. It wasn't large, but it was very pure and dazzling; its value should be around several hundred to tens of millions.

At this moment, Song Zhi Ning pushed the hairpin and the green diamond in front of Li Jing, saying, "This ruby ​​hairpin is for Auntie, and the green diamond is for you. She should like it."

"What?! I have one too!" Li Jing exclaimed.

Song Zhi Ning pushed the blue diamond in front of Shen Xing Yi, "Brother Shen, this is for you."

Shen Xingyi stared blankly at the dazzling blue diamond, surprised that Ningning had also prepared one for him.

Since they had already agreed on it, the two of them accepted it without further hesitation.

As the auction ended, the banquet began. By the time the banquet started, Song Zhining, Li Jing, Shen Xingyi, and the others had already left through the back door.

The three parted ways at the entrance of the venue.
