Chapter 536: The Dazzling And Brilliant Old Master Qian

The bald man left angrily. Shen Qianshu had a feeling that she just had a close brush with death. These people really wanted to fight when there were disagreements. Luckily, Jack was at her side. If it were only Tong Hua and her, the consequences would be too much for her to bear. She finally knew that there were some matters that could not be settled just by using the brain. This was because some people did not care to reason with you at all.

“Jack, thank you,” Shen Qianshu said.

“You are welcome!”

The few of them sat down. Shen Qianshu took a deep breath and looked calmly in Jonah’s direction.

The auction area was closed completely.

The lights dimmed in an instant. Then, a black man walked up on stage and introduced the origin of the diamond for this auction. Shen Qianshu looked at the diamond on the stage. It was indeed the original diamond that was locked in the transparent safe. It was 1656 carats, and it was the biggest diamond discovered to date. The safe was not opened yet, so it seemed that Ye Ling was still alive. Shen Qianshu’s heart became more stable. At this point in time, the whole venue was buzzing with discussions. The people who came here were aiming for the diamond. Now, everyone was looking at it as if they were looking at prey.

The black man said, “This is the biggest diamond to date that we have discovered in the Golden City. It is also the biggest diamond ever discovered in the world in nearly a hundred years. It is the pride of our Golden City, and it is also the symbol of our wealth. Today, we are honored to invite everyone to be here to admire and buy it. The highest bidder wins!”

His voice was extremely emotional. The atmosphere was also shifted.

“The bid starts from one billion!”

Shen Qianshu gasped. What the… Snatching money!

“One billion!” Someone made a bid.

“Wait a while!” Shen Qianshu suddenly stood up. That bidder was a middle-aged person. Hearing Shen Qianshu, he could not control himself and looked at Shen Qianshu furiously. The whole audience’s attention was on this pretty Asian youth. In the eyes of the Westerners who were more physically mature, Shen Qianshu’s petite figure was a minor. The majority of the people did not know who she was. Looking at her disdainful gaze, they thought that she was a son from a rich family who came to play.

Shen Qianshu gazed steadily at the stage and sneered. “This diamond has just been unearthed and has not been appraised. The starting bid is at one billion? On what basis?”

Jonah’s face changed slightly. “We have the appraisal certification!”

“Please publicize the Gubelin appraisal certification. I only recognize Gubelin!” Shen Qianshu sneered. “I believe everyone should be very clear that this diamond’s value is more than 1600 carats. It is indeed priceless. However, in the year 1890, the Golden City discovered an original diamond which weighed 3000 carats. The government’s starting bid was five billion. In the end, it was bought by the British royal family. However, after it was cut, the net weight of the 3000-carat diamond was not even 100 carats. Its value was drastically reduced. Similarly, in 1941, in the southwestern region of the United States, a colored diamond weighed in at 1200 carats was discovered. The buyer spent 300 million pounds. Eventually, the colored diamond had a lot of impurities and was not even worth 30 million. Now, let me talk about a more recent case. Last year, an 800-carat diamond was discovered in South Africa. However, the center of it was all rock. Examples like these are everywhere. I know nothing about the diamond’s clarity and its purity. So, may I ask Mr. Jonah, what is your basis for the starting bid of one billion? Is there any certification?”

The people who were present started whispering. The audience received news that the Golden City had discovered a 1600-carat original diamond. It was considered to be the most sensational news in the diamond world in nearly a hundred years. They were like an unruly crowd on a wild goose chase and had naturally thought that the diamond had gone through certification. After Shen Qianshu’s words came out, the audience started to realize the truth.

Jonah’s face looked slightly bad. “Of course I have the certification!”

Shen Qianshu said in a calm and collected manner, “I think everyone here is an expert. We only recognize Gubelin certification!”
