At this moment, regardless of whether it is male or female, young or old, regardless of nationality, everyone stood up with awe of the "color", and looked at the "color" nervously at the middle-aged beauty wearing a brown and purple "color" mink coat. "woman".
The guests who can sit in this Sotheby auction site are all big people with hands and eyes, whether they are elites from all walks of life, or big bosses, presidents, ceos, and even powerful "governments" in their hands. Executives. However, at this time they were more flattering smiles at this woman.
If there is an ordinary person here, he will definitely drop his chin. Because of the people present, at least ten people will be among the top 500 in the Forbes rankings in the world.
The beautiful "woman" embraces the lovely Persian cat, her face does not have a trace of ups and downs, her green hand wearing a cheap gold ring gently strokes the pure white "color" fluff "hair" of the Persian cat , Nodded faintly towards all the guests who stood up.
At this time, Claude Pilnin, who is the friendship of the landlord, finally arrived. He did not care to wipe the sweat that overflowed from trotting on his forehead, and came to the middle-aged beauty "women" with a strong apology, and accompanied him. The smiling face said: "Hello, honorable lady, your arrival has made Sothesby the auction house brilliant. I haven't seen you in more than a year. You are younger and more beautiful. Here I will send you a gift from Claude Pilnin. The most sincere blessings, may you stay youthful forever, laugh, laugh... laugh often."
Claude Pilnin speaks Chinese, and he knows that the lady in front of him likes to hear Chinese words. Suddenly, there was a move in his heart. Rumor has it that this witch Cuckoo Du was smashed one billion RMB to search for his missing son for nearly two decades in a distant eastern country. Then he added: "I wish you all the best, and you will find it as soon as possible. Your son."
The plain expression of the beautiful "women" finally changed. He glanced up at Claude Pilnin, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you in more than a year, you can talk. Okay, make arrangements for me. One position, I'm here to participate in the auction, not to chat with you."
Claude Pilnin keenly caught the smile on the face of the middle-aged beauty "women", and was excited in his heart. He respectfully said: "The first row is ready, please."
"Go ahead and do your job!" The beauty "women's complexion" returned to calm, and after Claude Pilnin turned sideways to make way, she walked to the front row dignifiedly.
After the middle-aged beauty "women" sat down, Claude Pilnin did not leave immediately. Instead, he found the steward of the auction hall and returned to the monitoring room upstairs after careful advice. When he arrived, he never gave him a trace of leisurely appearance. He stared at the auction scene nervously, for fear of a slight mistake.
Today, as the auctioneer presiding over the auction, he is a rising star in London and the youngest white-glove auctioneer-Peter Fear Moss.
For the profession of auctioneer, being awarded the white gloves is the highest honor an auctioneer has obtained. It means that an auction sale reaches 100% of the transaction rate, which represents the highest recognition of the auctioneer.
However, the arrival of the middle-aged beauty "women" today made Peter Fear Moss agitated, because her reputation in the world's financial circles is really too loud. She, it is no exaggeration to say, is a legend.
Depressing his excitement, Peter Feared that Moss knocked the gavel in his hand, and smiled with humor and wit: "Dear gentlemen and ladies, I welcome everyone to the Sotheby auction. It's not handsome, but it won't harm everyone's eyeballs..."
"Below we will bid for the first auction item as the opening jackpot. This time the first auction item is a painting by the master Picasso, a volume of twelve... Its low price is 30 million U.S. dollars, and the price increases each time. At least one million dollars, the bidding starts below."
Peter? was afraid that Moss' eyes would "show" a smile, because when he announced the first auction item, he keenly noticed that the eyes of many customers in the audience were bright.
This is a good sign.
Sure enough, when Peter Fear Moss had just finished speaking, an older European-looking old man rang the bidder in his hand: "Thirty-one million U.S. dollars."
"Thirty-five million dollars." Another young guy quoted the price with a sneer.
"Forty million dollars." There was another bidding.
"Forty-two million dollars."
"Forty-five million dollars."
…
"Sixty-nine million dollars."
Finally, the bidding stopped at a price of 69 million dollars. Everyone looked at the European-looking old man on the 16th, and even many people knew him, a great collector in the world, with a wealth of wealth.
"Seventy million U.S. dollars." The young boy looked unwilling, but still pressed the bidding sign.
"72 million." The European-looking old man did not pause and immediately bid.
In the end, this volume of twelve master Picasso paintings was acquired by this European-looking old man.
Peter Moss was still very satisfied with this transaction price. At the time of the initial valuation, the highest auction value estimated by the appraiser was only 70 million U.S. dollars. This first auction was a good start.
The middle-aged beautiful "women" sitting in the first row "showed" a lazy "color" on her face. She looked dull and whispered to the secretary standing next to her: "Allen, What's so good about this auction? I think it's better to just spend money to buy some. These auction houses are just a place to cheat people."
The female secretary "showed" a smile. Although she was reluctant to leave, she still said, "This is not true. After all, such an auction will definitely show some excitement in the end, but you are not a collector. Naturally, I don't like this kind of thing. In such an occasion, why don't we leave now?"
The middle-aged beauty "woman" shrugged and said with a smile: "Let's look at a few more things! The big bosses of the auction house are all greeted with smiles. We left as soon as we arrived. It was not very polite."
Her words were right in the mind of Secretary Allen, and she nodded quickly and said "Yes". Peter at the front desk was afraid that Moss had already started the auction of the second item:
"Compared to the first lottery auction item, the second auction item is still good. It is a dragon and phoenix jade pendant from the east. This is not a normal dragon and phoenix jade pendant. Its material is white chalcedony. White chalcedony can be described as a treasure in jade, you may not be able to buy it even if you have money, and its carvings are the works of the famous contemporary French engraver Master Feinosa. This square jade pendant is exquisitely carved, and the dragon and phoenix are vivid..."
Suddenly, the face of the lazy middle-aged beauty "woman" changed drastically. She suddenly stood up with ecstasy and asked Peter Fear Moss on the auction stage sharply: "This dragon, phoenix, jade pendant Was it made of white chalcedony? Or did Master Finosa himself sculpt it? In other words, is it right?"
As she spoke, she rushed to the front desk without any scruples about her image, and the bodyguards around her, one by one, drew out their guns quickly, aiming at the guests whose faces had changed dramatically.
Peter? Was afraid that Moss would be messed up by sudden events. He knew Witch Cuckoo Du's prestige, and he knew she was an out-and-out genius, even a lunatic. But now, the excitement, urgency, tension, and anxiety on her face... these expressions not only made him dumbfounded, but everyone in the audience was stunned. They are all people with status, they are all about elegance, dignity, or noble and elegant, but nowadays, the witch Cuckoo Du, who can be described as standing on the pinnacle of the world, has made a woman who only has a shrew regardless of her identity. It’s something that can only be done, which leaves everyone at a loss “confused”.
"Yes, yes noble madam. This is indeed the work of Master Feinuosha. Similarly, its material is also white chalcedony." The faint gun command Peter? Afraid that Moss would tremble, and the security guards at the auction venue said At this time, it seemed to disappear suddenly, and I couldn't find one again.
As for those who can enter here with bodyguards, no one except the middle-aged beauty "women" can do. Therefore, while the bodyguards of the middle-aged beauty "women" exude a strong murderous aura, they are like facing a group of unarmed lambs.
"Give it to me." The middle-aged beauty "women" said very quickly.
Peter? Fearing that Moss did not hesitate, he immediately handed the square dragon and phoenix jade pendant to the middle-aged beauty "woman".
The lightly white hand rubbed the smooth and cold jade noodles lightly, the faint coolness made her heart wave up and down, yes, it was this jade pendant, there was nothing wrong with it. This dragon and phoenix jade pendant is the belongings of the missing son. It was the jade pendant that she personally put on her son's neck when she returned to the eastern land from the United States.
Her heart was trembling, and her tears were like broken pearls. The feeling of heartache that could hardly breathe made her brain dizzy and her body tilted. If it weren't for a female bodyguard next to her, she would immediately support her. She has fallen to the ground.
Quickly adjusted her mood, Witch Cuckoo Du Leng Leng scanned the crowd in the audience, and said in a deep voice, "This jade, I want ten million dollars, who wants to grab it from me?"
Below is silent, everyone can see the murderous intent in the eyes of the middle-aged beauty "women". It is estimated that if anyone dares to bid for her, it is estimated that the cold bullet will penetrate his skull in the next moment.
Witch Cuckoo Du nodded to the bottom, and then shouted to the top: "Claude Pilnin, I know you can hear me, so immediately send someone to pick me up. I have important things to do with you. ."
In the monitoring room upstairs, Claude Pilnin saw through the screen that the demon head suddenly went sour, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest. He didn't hear the words of Witch Cuckoo Du, because he was the first time the incident happened. He hurried to the auction scene with his bodyguards.
The people present were all big figures in the upper class. The Witch Cuckoo Du Naturally was unwilling to offend everyone. She had just done something unscrupulous when she was in a state of excitement. Now her emotions have eased, she immediately let her bodyguards. Putting away the guns, he said with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry everyone, I think you have all heard that, now I am looking for clues to my son, and this jade pendant is exactly what my son wore back then, so The emotional out-of-control has caused everyone a shock. After a while, my secretary will count the list of people present, and when I find my son, I will have a banquet and invite you to celebrate at home."
The actions of Witch Cuckoo Du just now, and her bodyguard's muzzle at everyone, really made everyone feel angry. Now that they heard her explanation, everyone was relieved very quickly. They were friendly to the Witch. Juan Du nodded in greeting, saying that it was all right. In my heart, I had great expectations for her last sentence. You know, it is an honor for them to be invited by Witch Cuckoo Du.
Even at this moment, many people are secretly calculating how to use this opportunity to get close to the Witch Cuckoo Dudo and to reach a business partner.
