The auctioneer said nothing about Li Erdan, because he could earn at least 500,000 US dollars.

In the eyes of auctioneers and Mike, the possibility of auctioning the diamond at $5 million is too low. Li Erdan is so busy that he is so busy that he gives money to the auctioneer.

"Are you sure?" the auctioneer asked meaningfully.

"I'll be sure, and I'll auction it at the base price of $5 million." Erdan.

"You are such an elusive guy. Well, I promise to auction you, and I will do my best to auction you for a high price."

...

Twenty minutes later, the auction officially started, and the audience was quiet. Mike and Li Erdan sat on the same floor, in the last row of seats in the room. The auction site was a little nervous, and one was to take pictures of diamonds and the other was to sell diamonds, so there was no communication.

There were about thirty people in the room. Li Erdan looked at everyone here carefully and found that none of them were known to him.

The first auction item was a 10-carat colorless diamond with a pear-shaped cut, with a starting price of 100,000 US dollars. After five rounds of auctions, it was sold for 300,000 US dollars.

The second auction was a 12-carat light blue diamond, cut into a peach shape. This diamond had a flaw, and a small edge was knocked off. Although it was just a small edge, the value of the diamond plummeted, with a starting price of only 800,000 US dollars. After the competition in Ten Thousand, the diamond was finally bought by a buyer for $2.3 million. Mike also shouted for the price, but he didn't dare to shout it after calling it $1.8 million.

The third auction item is the highlight of tonight. It is an exquisite 110.08 carat pear-shaped cut diamond. Various 4C standards are of high quality. The starting price is $8 million. Under the light, the light is brilliant and the diamond is beautiful. I like this diamond Erdan. If he only has one girlfriend, he will definitely take this diamond. No matter how high the price is, he will give it to his girlfriend. But now he has many girlfriends and needs to do everything equally, so he has more concerns and has no plans to start now.

The auctioneer first talked nonsense and beautified the diamond with beautiful words as much as possible, "starting from $10 million."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone from the audience started the auction, "$11 million."

"Okay, this gentleman bid $11 million." The auctioneer.

Another shouted: "$12 million."

“$12.5 million.”

...

In just half a minute, the auction price soared to $15 million.

"$17 million." This time, Mike was called out. The 2 million price increase shocked many people, and there were obviously fewer people calling out the price next.

Before the auction, the auction house estimated the diamond, between $11 million and $15 million. Now it seems that the auction price has exceeded the expected estimated price.

"$19 million." Another person shouted, and on the basis of the price also raised $2 million.

$19 million is a bit inflated, but you can't care about it as a collection.

Erdan noticed that this time the bid was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie sitting on the left side of the first row. He had a Western face and a slim beard. Since the man was sitting in the first row and Erdan was sitting in the last row, he couldn't see his specific appearance clearly.

After Mike was holding the phone and communicating with the boss on the other end, he shouted another price, "$20 million."

Erdan smiled at Mike, "You're there."

But Mike smiled bitterly and said, "I hope no one will call for a price anymore, because this is the highest price the company can offer."

Just as Mike finished speaking, the man who had just called for $19 million was shouting again, "$21 million." After shouting the price, the man looked back at Mike, accompanied by a somewhat sinister and cunning smile.

Mike smiled bitterly again, then shook his head helplessly, and gave the man a thumbs up, meaning: You are so awesome, I won’t argue with you anymore.

When the man turned around, Li Erdan saw his front and suddenly shuddered. He felt that the middle-aged man was a little familiar with him and seemed to have seen this face shape.

"Who is this man?" Erdan asked Mike.

"A rich four generations, his father is a regular visitor to Forbes' rich tycoons." Mike.

"What's the name? Where is it from?" Erdan continued to ask.

"Oscar Oppenheimer, South African." Mike.

Oppenheimer's surname is a rich family, and is a South African. Erdan couldn't help but think of the little old man Godfrey Oppenheimer he met in the cannibal tribe, because Godfrey Oppenheimer was a member of the Oppenheimer family in South Africa.

"Mike, have you heard of Godfrey Oppenheimer?" Erdan.

"Of course I heard that Godfrey Oppenheimer was Oscar's biological uncle who was lost in the forest decades ago and never appeared again."

Mike said indifferently, but Erdan sighed! He didn't expect to see the relatives of the old man Godfrey Oppenheimer so soon after leaving the cannibal tribe.

"Oh, so that's it. I heard that the Oppenheimer family in South Africa is a diamond-cursed family. Is this true?" Erdan.

"This is superstitious and unbelievable, but this family has been doomed in history. The loss of Oscar's uncle Godfrey is one of the manifestations of this doom."

Oscar Oppenheimer yelled at $20 million, and the audience started to talk, and no one was calling for the price for a while. The auctioneer spitted and squirted about everyone's price, but it was not working, so he had to say what he repeated N times:

“20 million US dollars once.”

“20 million USD 2 times”

Just when the auctioneer was about to knock it down with one hammer, a different voice sounded, "$22 million."

Wow, $22 million, what a big tone! Everyone looked in the voice, including Comrade Li Erdan, and found that the person who called out was a woman in her thirties with an Eastern Constant. The woman with an Eastern Constantian was probably a Chinese.

The woman shouted for a bid and looked at Oscar with a bright smile. Oscar also smiled, then raised the bid to bid and said, "$23 million."

"25 million US dollars." The oriental woman seemed to be stressless from her expression.

The Oscars were a little tight, but they still followed the price, "$26 million."
