Chapter 188: Surname Hong Bu

34-35 New Bond Street, London, Sotheby's London Auction House.
Just after Li Zitao and Adelaide got off the bus, they were warmly received by the auction house.
Knowing that Li Zitao will participate in this auction, Sotheby's is preparing for this day.
Especially after knowing his "fairy tale love" with Princess Adelaide, this passion became even more intense.
"Dear Mr. Li, Her Royal Highness, it is also an honor for both of us to make Sotheby's flourishing."
The head of the headquarters, Belo Fiore stood dignifiedly in front of the door and paid deep respect to the two.
"Fiore, you don't have to be so restrained. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Adelaide stepped forward to help each other.
"Yes, Her Royal Highness, Sotheby's and I have always been looking forward to your visit again." Fiore stood up straight and looked at her enthusiastically.
"I believe you already know from the newspaper that Charlie is my fiance." Adelaide introduced, and Fiore bowed his head.
"My dear, Fiore is Sotheby's first vice president and is also responsible for the operation of the London headquarters auction house."
Hearing Adelaide’s introduction, Li Zitao nodded with a smile: "It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Fiore."
The ring and high hair curls on the finger of the other party are all indicating that she is a married lady.
At this time, there are very few girls who simply curl up their hair into a hoop, of course, except for working in the factory.
"His Royal Highness, Mr. Li, please follow me." Fiore led the way.
"Are you familiar with her?" Li Zitao asked curiously.
"Of course, Sotheby's is the most famous auction house in Europe. Whether it is buying art or processing royal collections, they are the first choice for the royal family."
"This way." Li Zitao nodded.
The royal family often handles some collections, most of which are of no collection value, or flashy gifts, most of which come from merchants' gifts and nobles' contributions.
No wonder Sotheby’s in the previous life is still the top auction house in the world in the 21st century.
"Fiore's family controls more than half of Sotheby's shares." During the conversation, Li Zitao learned of the situation.
It's just that he's not surprised that a woman can take the position of vice president and is also responsible for the most important headquarters auction house operation.
In advance, Li Zitao absolutely did not mean to discriminate against women.
It is just the limitation of the times that determines that a woman with no identity background can really do this, even if she is talented.
Otherwise, Aymo will not leave the Royal Bar, and become his effective subordinate.
"His Royal Highness, Mr. Li, your position is up. Sorry, please allow me to leave first." When the two were sent to the first row, Fiore left.
"You haven't told me, on the boat, what did you chat with that fellow from the East?"
Before the auction started, Adelaide asked about the matter on the ship again. After the first meeting, the two talked separately for several times. She was curious about the specific content.
"It's just a matter of business." Li Zitao's expression became strange when he mentioned this matter.
Before meeting Mei Lanfang and talking about Zhang Shaoshuai, Li Zitao took it for granted that the history of Aqua Blue Star is no different from that of the previous life.
But when he talked with Lian Qinglin to the government of the Republic of China and talked about the chairman...
"Mr. Li is afraid of not paying too much attention to the domestic situation. Let's unify the chairman of the government of the Republic of China with the surname Hong, not Jiang!"
Until now, Li Zitao still remembers Lin Qing's awkward and polite smile.
The reunification government, the only party, the reunification party, the 13th Standing Committee, and the great figures in memory are gone.
This made him once again clearly realize that this is not Earth, but aquamarine.
As for the business talked with Lian Qinglin, it is about the ore, tungsten ore.
This compatriot claimed to have some minor ties with the government of the Republic of China and was able to handle export licenses for tungsten mines, which was a humble style familiar to the Chinese.
Among the acquisition targets of FSC, tungsten mines are marked with red pens.
It is an extremely important industrial raw material, which can be used in a wide range of fields, including weapon research and development, national defense engineering, and aerospace.
Tungsten metal is used in the automotive, electrical, and electronics industries.
Such an important raw material, can it be done with a little relationship.
In the end, the two reached an agreement, Li Zitao bought his tungsten mine at market price, but not all were shipped to the United States.
In his name, Lian Qinglin will lease warehouses in Mingzhu Port to hoard a large amount of tungsten ore he has purchased.
As for the final role of these tungsten mines, Li Zitao did not tell him.
"The contradiction between the National Government and RB is becoming more and more serious, I am afraid that there will be armed conflict sooner or later." Adelaide suddenly said.
"Oh? Do you still pay attention to these?" Li Zitao said unexpectedly.
"Just listened to my mother and Jean by accident." Adelaide said casually.
This is the difference between the background and the level of contact. The best performance!
"Maybe even more trouble than they thought." Although the National Government became unrecognizable, there was nothing in his memory about Zhang Dashuai and Xiaoshuai.
This is what Li Zitao is most worried about ~EbookFREE.me~ The date of the incident is getting closer and closer.
Wow!
On the auction stand, a mallet knocking sound appeared, wearing smart trousers, a suit, and Fiore in a top hat appeared in front of everyone.
"Gentlemen and ladies, thank you very much for coming. Today is the first Sotheby's Winter Auction. I hope everyone will be here today..."
Fiore was talking on the scene, and the bidders were quiet.
"Below, we have lot 1 on offer." After the courtesy, the auction officially started, and Fiore introduced the lot information enthusiastically.
It's just that Li Zitao always felt something was missing on her body. When she saw her hand pointing at the lot again, she suddenly said: "If you have white gloves, it would be better."
"Good suggestion." Adelaide looked up.
The auction items are miscellaneous, including some manuscripts, celebrity notes, inherited items lost by the family, unknown treasure maps and so on.
The following bidding is fierce, but Li Zitao is not very interested.
Instead, Adelaide bought a pair of gemstone earrings with an interest of 300 pounds.
"Next, I would like to invite you to lot 38." A bronze ware was lifted up, and the sleepy Li Zitao became interested.
"The tiger-eating human jug from an ancient country in the east, according to the translated materials and the identification of several appraisal masters, this bronze ware came from 3000 thousand years ago,
From the strongest dynasty of that period, Shang..."
Isn't this the national treasure heavy weapon, the tiger ate man?
It lived in RB in the past life, and has been collected in the Izumiya Bogu Museum in Kyoto. How does it appear here now?
Li Zitao couldn't figure out the reason, but it didn't prevent him from deciding to buy the lot, and it was a must.
