Already many items have been sold, the more the night and the more towards the peak event. Items at auction are getting higher value. No doubt, everyone here sat quietly for hours just to show off their sense of prestige. It is no secret anymore, if the most expensive items sold in an auction are always purchased by a mysterious person.
But for those involved in it, they already know who the buyer is, they just want to give the impression of a mysterious like. Who is the rich man who wants to buy
old-fashioned bags worth billions of dollars?
And now the goods sold are not only high value but also difficult to find. It is usually an antique of nobility or the work of a famous artist. Like the one in the dislay this time.
“ this diamond ring is a diamond with pink color, it is quite difficult to find this type of diamond because it is still similar to Yellow Diamond. But this ring is special because of its size sixteen carats, the largest size to date “
Before that, the host explained that this ring is a relic of the Dutch nobility found at the site of the massacre of the Dutch by the Japanese. Most likely the ring was found in the skeleton of the Dutch Noni, but surely they cover that fact.if only the buyer knows, the, they will not buy items taken from the skull of the dead man who died because he was slaughtered. Not necessarily they will be this enthusiastic.
“ we will open the price of this ring starting from five billion .. “ as fast as the moderator opens the price then that's how fast the price on the screen changes quickly. The longer the higher. The increase is not responsible. Seven billion, a second later it changed. In just a few minutes, it has been shifted to nine billion. Their enthusiasm for items such as jewelry is high. Not because of prestige, but jewelry is also a profitable investment. Especially diamonds.
Just a blink of an eye Lucas averted his gaze, the price had already changed. Being ten billion, it's going up and up. Many are glued to their ipad and charge a price they offer to get the ring. No exception married couples who are more suitable to be the uncle and nephew. The woman clung to it like an octopus tentacle, so tightly that it made the person who saw her asphyxiate.
The woman said something to her husband. As if to continue to persuade the man to increase the price of his offer. As Lucas had guessed in the beginning, they must have been looking for jewelry like this in an auction. One is blind from love, the other is blind from treasure. No doubt, the woman was indeed worthy to use the ring stolen from the corpse.
The price of the ring is soaring, no need to be surprised. The price of diamonds is always high, plus the size of sixteen carats and also rare types. Although the price touched tens of billions, it was not surprising. Time went by quickly, the price of the ring breaking through twenty-eight billion. There has been no price increase offered. Like knowing who won this auction, Lucas turned to look at the couple earlier. The woman was smiling with satisfaction on the screen, surely she was very happy to see the thing she wanted to have now.
Unbeknownst to him, the woman blinked one eye at Lucas, a seductive wink like a cheap woman in general. Weepy! Really disgusting. Next to her own husband she could easily tease other men. Lucas really felt sorry for the man, forty years it was in vain to get a wife like that. Or maybe it's his fault for looking for a wife in a nightclub. This fact makes Lucas think of a saying, a good man will meet a good woman. It seems that the businessman is not a good man, until he is given a bad woman as well. What then? What about Lucas?
And it's true, the ring sold for twenty-eight billion. And no need to guess who bought it, because Lucas could not spend time to bargain for a ring. He was more interested in waiting for the top of the show. He was impatient.
Hours of waiting for the last thing at auction. Lucas became aware of the state of the person in front of him at this moment. Ramses is the same as it seems, he has not struggled in the slightest since the first item was sold. He is not interested in anything else. Don't don't? He's after the same thing, the same thing he was after? That confidence was further strengthened when the host conveyed a description of the last item to be at auction.
“ ladies and gentlemen, this is the last thing to be auctioned this year. An elegant classic to play with. The conditions are really good, one hundred percent in top condition. We pray, Biola Antonio Stradivari ... “
Lucas didn't know if he was actually auctioning off Antonio Stradivari's violin. Lucas also did not expect to still be out there, Biola Antonio who survived and is still in good condition.
After saying so, a Butler carried a classic Violin placed in a Violin box. Take out the bioal and put it on the display. The camera instantly highlights each side of the violin. It's true, the condition is still good. Of the many violins made by Antonio Stradivari. The most expensive is the Violin The Messiah Stradivaru/Stradivari. Two hundred and sixty billion, owned by Lucas.
All Sradivari Violins are classic violins from three hundred years ago. Of the hundreds of musical instruments he made, most were lost in stolen, damaged and not found. Antonio violins in this world can be calculated with fingers that are recognized by their characteristics. But if this violin really belongs to Stradivari. So this is a violin that came to the surface after three hundred years unknown to the world.
Lucas's eyes stared fixedly at the Violin, this was unique from the usual Stradivari Violin. Lucas was getting curious and impatient to have the Violin. He was curious, what melody Stradivari instilled in this Violin. All the violins sound unique but the tone is perfect. What about this one violin?
Suddenly an old man sitting at table number two got up from his chair. He stepped forward onto the stage, the host was not surprised anymore. He immediately gave his loudspeaker to the old man who received it with a heart.
“ before the auction starts, I will guarantee the authenticity of this Violin. Because I examined it directly, overall this Violin is a handmade original Stradivari and not in doubt. There's no forgery, any carving of the initials of Antonio and his son. But there's one more name that can't be found in every other Antonio Violin. I assume, this violin is dedicated to his youngest son. Because Antonio always includes the initials of his son's name after he finished making a musical instrument as a form of dedication. I think that's all I'm going to say “
Alberth walks down the stage, this is all he can do to help Rachel. When he first examined Rachel's Violin, he was very surprised to find the carving while cleaning the dust in the body of the VIOLin. The dust covered the engraved writing that was a sign of Antonio Stradivari's possession.
Alberth didn't want to be reckless when he checked something. He is very experienced in checking the authenticity of a Bioa. And he was so sure of Rachel's violin. The wood material, the age of the violin, the model used to make the violin. was really original, Antonio's idea. Alberth was even confused, why the violin was in Rachel's hands.
Lucas looked back at Alberth sitting beside him, table number two. Now he knew what this old man was here for now. He was the one who caused the rumor of a rare antique violin this afternoon. Desas desus that makes Lucas want to go here and prove it directly. But after hearing the explanation from him just now, Lucas increasingly wanted to own the Violin.
“ ladies and gentlemen, that was the testimony of a Luthief who examined this Violin for the first time. As a guarantee of the authenticity of the Violin, our team has also re-examined the authenticity of the Violin. As a result, we do not doubt the authenticity of the Violin. Therefore, our auction is open at fifteen billion “
Enthusiasm for the last item boomed, everyone was glued to type the price offered. So did Lucas, he understood auction tactics. Never offer the highest price. Raise your offer little by little until you find out who your rival is. After knowing the real ability, bargain with the highest price that can not be rivaled by others anymore.
But Lucas was very relaxed, he just added his offer to two hundred million, added another two hundred million and so on. Once only he and one last person were left, that person would take out all the bidding. And with that, Lucas just needs to add a few million more.
The price increase slowed down to eighty million, Lucas still casually squeezed his bid numbers. That amount of money, was small money for him. He doesn't have to look at his account balance, it goes beyond all that. The other guests were already focused on staring at the amount of money in the
screen, that's the money that the Violin's owner will receive. They are also focused on seeing Lucas and Remses competing for the Violin.
Yeah, just the two of them. Only the two of them were still bidding on the Violin. The difference is, Lucas bargained with a smile. But Ramses was afraid to bid the price. He's also a violinist and a businessman like Lucas. They went to the same university, took up the art of music. But Lucas with all his arrogance, he has hurt Ramses' self-esteem.In college, Lucas once took Ramses Violin. Lucas took his beloved Violin because he lost the bet. Ramses never said he would give her the violin. But Lucas took it. That violin was brought by Rachel a few days ago.
But now he can't give up, as long as Lucas is alive. He would be ambitious to own all the Antonio Stradivari Violins, Lucas almost had all the Violins available, Antonio's Violins. But here, Ramses won't give up. He will win this auction and own Antonio Stradivari's Violin. Must.
Lucas increased the price to a hundred million more than Ramses offered. Those who in fact not only sit facing, but also seize the same thing. The view here is given to Ramses, now almost a hundred billion.
This may be more expensive if many invited guests are invited. But the bargain between them is getting louder. No one among the merke would give up, they increased the price. Not losing to each other. This really made Lucas furious. He took a deep breath, it turned out that Ramses who was now not an easy person to deal with.
Lucas put his ipad down, slammed it a little. Making the wine in the glass shake. This attracted the attention of Ramses, he also stopped pressing his ipad screen. They are staring at each other now. Cold looks were inevitable for each other.
“ looks like you won't take off that Violin easily ... “
Lucas took the wine glass in front of him and drank it slowly, sipping it while waiting for Ramses to react. After drinking it, Lucas put the glass back on the table. Then Lucas squeezed his iPad screen, increasing his offer to one hundred and twenty billion.
“ rare and perfect goods like this, it is worth fighting for “ Ramses also raise his offer, he put the ipad back on the table, he drank wine in his glass, as Lucas did.
Lucas understood, they were both the same as Violins. From a rich family. Also an amazing talent. There's only one thing Ramses has, but Lucas doesn't. Conscience. Lucas has no conscience, maybe it's important to live as Lucas. Having a conscience will only make us weak.
“ then, how about exchanging that Violin for your family's life ... “ Lucas made a commensurate offer, as I explained just now. He has no conscience, but Ramesses at least has a conscience. Hearing Lucas's offer, Ramses suddenly flirted. Life is not a big price in Lucas' eyes. It was like easily killing an ant.
“ release the Violin, then my offer is. Your family's safety. A worthy offer is not ... “
A worthy offer. How can life be valued with money? But Ramses should not hesitate, all Lucas' words can be proved. And he didn't want proof of Lucas' offer just now.
Ramses is still considering Lucas' offer, since then the price did not rise at all. Until Ramses stopped touching the iPad, he put it right in front of Lucas.
“ I will hand over the Violin, it's the offer “ Ramses stands about to leave the auction room, there's nothing more to do in this place now. After walking away from Lucas, Ramses turned around again. There's something to say to Lucas.
“ Mr. Lucas, I hope one day I am given the opportunity to give you a lesson, a life lesson that life cannot be barter with anything “ after saying all that, Ramses walked away. Lucas ignored all those words, he didn't
have anything to fear. He had nothing to make him, afraid to lose. Or maybe, not yet.
“ price stops at one hundred and twenty billion, if there is no more offer then the price will be closed at one hundred and twenty billion. Please do offer ... “ moderator announce the result, it is Ramses offer. after Ramses left, Lucas squeezed his ipad, he just added his offer worth, one rupiah. No less no more. The numbers on the screen do not change except the numbers
in the last line. And as Lucas calculated, there's no more price bids. In absolute terms, it was the one who won this auction.
“ well, the auction closed at a price of one hundred and twenty billion, eh...? “
The moderator seemed confused, he was unaware of the change in one number behind it.
“ auction closed with price, one hundred twenty billion one rupiah “ hammer on tap. This is a sign that the auction is over. Lucas was about to stand up to claim what was already his.
Stayin like in each chapter at least a hundred, as if I have a responsibility. Oh there's a hundred people waiting for this story update. That's what liking makes me~
