Inside were two lustrous pearls!
Each one was about the size of a longan, emanating a hazy glow.
The entire room was stunned into silence!
“Can you turn off the lights, please?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a slight smile.
Yang Liu turned her questioning gaze towards Butler Shu, who was seated in the first row.
Butler Shu’s pupils contracted as he stood up and ordered, “Turn off the lights.”
Within a few seconds, as the banquet hall went suddenly dark, the whole room was in complete blackness!
But…
Just a few seconds later, the two pearls in Huang Xiaolong’s hand began to emit a glow as bright as the moon!
This glow spread out like the soft moonlight, illuminating the entire banquet hall!
It was like two full moons hanging from the banquet hall’s ceiling!
Beautiful! Incredibly beautiful!
The moonlight was so gentle and romantic!
Everyone was left breathless!
The soft moonlight carried a touch of sentimentality and poetic beauty, as if it had wafted over from the farthest reaches of the world. It brought a soothing coolness to the banquet room.
“Right, you may turn on the lights again.” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
The lights were turned on.
With the lights on, the pearls in Huang Xiaolong’s hand dimmed as if they were in deep sleep, a truly curious sight.
“Ahem These are the legendary Luminous Pearls,” Huang Xiaolong said, his smile growing brighter as he shot a taunting look at Shu Jie.
In fact, Huang Xiaolong had seen through the mystery of the wooden carving even before he bid for it.
“Ahem ” Shu Jie was left completely speechless, his face and forehead covered in a cold sweat…
“Luminous Pearls…Luminous Pearls…Oh…My…That light, too beautiful, so gentle, like a graceful dancing girl…” auctioneer Yang Liu was still in a state of infatuation and wonder.
“Yes, the Luminous Pearl is actually a rare type of gemstone, known in ancient times as ‘Sui Pearl’, ‘Suspension Pearl’, ‘Hanging Jade’, ‘Bright Moon Pearl’ and so on…To put it in modern terms, the Luminous Pearl is a diamond – yes, a diamond that can absorb and emit light. It is also the most precious kind of diamond, unparalleled in its rarity!”
“So it’s Luminous Pearls!” Teacher Liu exclaimed, “So there were Luminous Pearls hidden in the eyes of the carved bull! My God! I saw one of these pearls in the British Museum and it was estimated at 200 million RMB! But… the ones in Huang Xiaolong’s hand are in even better shape! What a steal! To be able to get such a valuable item for a mere 500,000… Your vision, sir, is truly unparalleled!”
The entire room was astounded!
Even though most people there had never seen real Luminous Pearls, that didn’t stop them from assessing the value of the ones in Huang Xiaolong’s hand.
“He’s a genius! How did this country bumpkin manage to snag such a valuable item? I’ve really seen something new today.”
“Incredible, he bought them for just 500,000… and it’s the same Luminous Pearls that Shu gave up bidding on…”
“These Luminous Pearls are national treasures!”
“I’ve only read about Luminous Pearls in novels until now. Seeing them today in person…it’s totally worth it.”
“These Luminous Pearls must be the highlight of the charity auction dinner, right?”
“Actually, we shouldn’t be jealous. Everyone had a fair chance to get them, it’s just that we didn’t see their value or we missed it. This young man, however, remained composed and discerning throughout. He even found the Luminous Pearls hidden in the stone, such a keen eye is truly one of a kind.”
“Indeed impressive. At least in Binhai’s treasure appraisal and collection circles, this is top-tier ability. Ah… this unremarkable country bumkin taught us a lesson today – never judge a book by its cover.”
“True power, this is true power.”
“Young man!” At this time, Zeng Huatian, the chairman of Huatian Clothing Co., Ltd., stood up from his seat and stared intently at the Luminous Pearls in Huang Xiaolong’s hand, his eyes filled with passion and obsession, “As Teacher Liu just mentioned, even the British Museum has a Luminous Pearl, but its quality doesn’t match the ones in your hands, let alone, you have a pair…which is even rarer! Young man, 400 million! I’m offering 400 million! Would you let me have these Luminous Pearls?”
Astonishment spread through the room.
400 million!!!!
500,000 transformed into 400 million!
“Splat ” Shu Jie abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood!
His face turned pale and dejected.
He was truly spewing blood!
This was an instance where anger and regret intertwined, resulting in physical harm!
It could be said to be an internal injury.
Couldn’t Shu Jie regret it?
A moment ago, as long as he held the price and kept his mouth shut, he believed that this pair of Luminous Pearls would be his for the taking!
In terms of wealth, not just a single Huang Xiaolong, but even the entirety of Binhai couldn’t compete with the Shu Family!
However, he gave up!
He actually watched with wide eyes as this perfect pair of Luminous Pearls was taken by Huang Xiaolong at such a low price!
He even mocked Huang Xiaolong as a fool for spending so much money on a piece of rotten wood…
Now it seemed, the real fool, was him!
An absolute fool!
A big fool!
The number one fool!
“Little Long…I…I…I can’t believe this is real…” Cui Feiyan on the side was swallowing hard, severely short of breath, “400…400 million… this… this…”
“Pfft Feiyan, I have helped you make 500 million…” Huang Xiaolong, though surprised, didn’t lose his composure.
At the seating area, Lin Jing, Chairman Qiu, Old Master Shi, Shu Qinghan… those acquainted with Huang Xiaolong, were happy for him.
At the same time, they were in awe of Huang Xiaolong’s various methods.
At that point, in the seating area, patrons began to compete with Zeng Huatian for the pair of Luminous Pearls.
The price started to climb steadily!
430 million!
450 million!
500 million!
520 million!
Since the four major families didn’t bid, Zeng Huatian, who was extremely wealthy and determined to win, eventually got the Luminous Pearls for his desired 600 million.
Huang Xiaolong and Cui Feiyan stepped down from the stage together.
This charity auction was declared a complete success.
The ultimate winner, undoubtedly, was Huang Xiaolong.
The auction ended, but the banquet had not. There was still some time left for the wealthy businessmen to socialize and establish future collaborations.
Huang Xiaolong happily handed the 600 million cash cheque to Cui Feiyan. “Feiyan, keep this cheque safe. Together with the money won before, it totals almost 800 million. It should be enough to cover the cash shortage of your company… Um, I did say that I would earn 500 million for you within 24 hours, didn’t I? Keeping my promises, is my personal principle.”
“Little Long…I…I…” Cui Feiyan was choked with emotion, and a tear glistened in her eyes.
You have to understand that the company her father had given to her was very important, like her own child.
The company ran into financial difficulties, causing her to lose sleep and look worn out.
But today, her unexpected encounter with Huang Xiaolong miraculously saved her company! It’s like saving her own child!
She didn’t even know how to express her gratitude to Huang Xiaolong.
Moreover, he managed to achieve the seemingly impossible target of earning 500 million in 24 hours with ease.
Perhaps luck played a part here, but luck always favors the prepared and capable.
