Chapter 367 Finalizing the Plan
"A large-scale auction?"
Austin murmured, "That certainly could work. The guests at an auction are all high-end individuals and affluent members of high society with considerable spending power.
"But a typical auction might not be enough to lure them aboard."
At this point, Osborne's face was all smiles.
He said, "What if I put up top-tier jewelry like the Crown of Fate and Divine Favor Crown for auction? Would that be enough to draw them onto the ship?"
Stunned, Austin replied, "You have more of those top-tier jewels?"
Osborne nodded, casually retrieving two fist-sized diamonds from his Dimensional Space.
These diamonds were left behind after the energy was absorbed from blood diamonds.
They had minor flaws, unlike the perfect diamonds on the Crown of Fate and Divine Favor Crown, but they were still invaluable.
Alison, seeing the diamonds in his hand, was nearly breathless with excitement.
"Mr. Augustine, let me craft these diamonds. I promise to create top-tier jewelry that no woman in the world could resist.
"Just with the right promotion, featuring them as auction items will surely attract wealthy women from all over the world." Osborne agreed with a nod.
"I trust you with this task. In fact, I was going to ask you to design not only these two sets of top-tier jewelry but also some slightly more common pieces to enrich our offerings and attract a wider range of people."
Excitedly, Alison nodded.
"Don't worry, Mr. Augustine. There are plenty of raw materials in Luna Jewelry. We have an endless supply of Imperial Green, glassy diamonds, amethyst, and various diamonds. I've already directed our designers to create a range of jewelry at different levels using these materials. "We can definitely hold a specialized jewelry auction. If it goes well, the name of Luna Jewelry will be known throughout the world." Osborne couldn't help but chuckle at her enthusiasm.
Hosting a specialized jewelry auction of Luna Jewelry's pieces on the Augustine family's cruise ship would solve the cruise's guest shortage and elevate the company's reputation and wealth.
And Osborne would be the biggest beneficiary.
But Austin furrowed her brows, concerned. "Osborne, are you really considering holding a jewelry auction at sea? With top-tier pieces as the main offerings?"
Osborne confirmed with a nod and asked, "You think it's a bad idea?"
"Not bad, but I'm worried."
Austin admitted, biting her lip, "Do you realize how irresistible top-tier jewelry crafted with such massive diamonds is? If the auction is held at sea, I worry it might attract many with intentions, ready to seize them.
"After all, there's a lawless nature to international waters."
Her words made Alison's expression shift, her brow creasing with concern as well.
Osborne, however, just smiled, "What if we collaborate with the Draco Group and have them oversee the auction? Would anyone dare to interfere then?"
Austin was taken aback, responding without hesitation, "If the Draco Group is involved and overseeing the auction, no one will dare to interfere unless they have a death wish.
"But the Draco Group is so prestigious. Would they even consider collaborating with you?"
"Don't worry about that. I have connections," Osborne said confidently.
His Draco Star Wristlet now bore four illuminated stars, signifying his high-level access within the Draco Group.
He was confident he could arrange a partnership between the Draco Group's auction house and the Augustine family, with the Draco Group presiding over the maritime auction.
"Just getting in touch with Debbe should suffice! Debbe heads the Draco Auction. She should have the necessary authority. If not, I can reach out to Ms. Hernandez."
Osborne had decided.
"I have no objections, then. If this plan goes off without a hitch, it will be a win for everyone! The Augustine family's cruise business will surely bounce back.
"And you'll be the biggest winner!" Austin finished, looking at Osborne with newfound admiration, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Thinking of this, she blushed somewhat.
At that moment, she felt an urge to throw herself into Osborne's arms, but with Alison present, she had to keep her emotions in check. Alison didn't linger and hurried back to the headquarters of Luna Jewelry.
She had to finalize the design of the top-tier jewelry swiftly and kick off the promotion to make sure wealthy women worldwide were aware of these exquisite pieces.
Then, the Augustine family could announce their collaboration with the Draco Auction, highlighting a major maritime auction featuring a collection of premier jewelry.
To participate in the auction, they would have to purchase a ticket for the Augustine family's cruise, securing their eligibility to bid.
This strategy would undoubtedly
cause a frenzy for the cruise tickets,
attracting celebrities and the
wealthy from around the globe and
effectively resolving the Augustine
family's predicament.
After Alison left, Austin promptly got up, walked to the door, and locked it.

desire. Osborne, seems I still
haven't conceived your baby.
Perhaps you have to try a little harder today."
