Chapter 297: Intense bidding

As soon as the third lot was displayed, Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift had their eyes brightened.
To be precise, this is not a piece of jewelry, but a set, a pair of earrings, a string of necklaces, there is a cross pendant under the necklace, with a lot of emeralds, sapphires and spinels inlaid on it, it looks like Very luxurious.
Sure enough, the auction of this set of jewelry turned into a two-person competition between Kim Kardashian and Taylor. In the end, Taylor, who grabbed 170 million meters of gold last year, was even better and sold this set of jewelry for 22 million meters of gold. After the auction, Taylor was beaming and Kim Kardashian stretched her face. Xiao Peng. . . . . . I just want to slap myself twice and let them sit with me. Isn't this making yourself trouble?
The next three lots are jade products made by Xiao Peng. They are a red jade bead necklace, an emperor green bead necklace, and a red jadeite brand.
It may be stimulated by the previous pieces of jewellery, or the guests in this auction are all rich and wealthy. The prices of the three jadeite products have exceeded 13 million. Among them, the emperor green jade bead necklace has broken the original Chinese The auction record of jade jewelry was sold at a sky-high price of 21 million meters of gold. The photographer is no one else but Kim Kardashian.
This time Kim Kardashian is not competing with Taylor. Taylor seems to be not interested in Jade. Kim Kardashian is competing with a Chinese local rich. In the end, Kim Kardashian won.
Looking at Kim Kardashian’s expression, Xiao Peng can already think that the headlines of the media in China and the United States will definitely include such as "Kim Kardashian Takes Luxury Jewelry at High Price" and "Kim Kardashian Wins China Local Reports like Regal.
Buyers' information will not be published in ordinary auctions, for the sake of privacy and buyer safety. But Kim Kardashian won't let go of any chance of exposure, don't use this opportunity to promote herself? Xiao Peng doesn't believe that Kim Kardashian will let go of such a publicity opportunity.
After all, when it comes to hype, the Kardashian family says that they are second, but few people dare to say that they are the first.
The next three lots are: emerald bracelets. There are square emeralds of the same size side by side and linked together with gold frames, golden couple heads custom gold bracelets and a pair of huge opals plus small sapphires Exaggerated earrings made of inlaid rubies.
One of the emerald bracelets was photographed by an English nobleman, and the earrings eventually fell into the hands of a rich Russian man. As for the pair of golden couple bracelets, it became a competition among several museums. In the end, the Istanbul History Museum also vomited blood and took the couple's bracelet at a high price of 70 million meters of gold.
Think about it and understand that Istanbul is the capital of the original Byzantine Empire after all. How can such a well-preserved and precious Byzantine treasure fall into the hands of others?
With the sale of this bracelet, the total amount of this auction officially exceeded 200 million.
Guo Sihua was already dancing with excitement in the backstage. Starting from his prediction, the auction was worth more than 100 million points, and as a result, it was now more than 200 million! Don't forget that the three lots that are the highlight of this auction have not yet started. Calculating the total amount of the auction this time, it is possible to reach 400 million!
In this way, only the commission, Longsheng Auction will be able to make a lot of money, and it is conceivable that after this auction, Longsheng Auction will definitely take a higher position in the world auction industry.
Thinking of this, how can Guo Sihua not be excited? He looked at Xiao Peng in the background, wishing to hug Xiao Peng and kiss him desperately! This is a miracle brought by Xiao Peng.
Before the auction of the last three highlights, the auction will take a 30-minute break. This is also time for the auction agents to contact the buyers behind them and report the progress of the auction. Xiao Peng and Eminem went to the lounge to smoke.
"Excuse me, is it Mr. Xiao?" As soon as Xiao Peng lit his cigarette, someone called himself.
Xiao Peng saw that he did not know the person. So frowned and asked: "Are you?"
"Introduce myself, my name is Hamit Kahevich. I am a staff member of the Istanbul History Museum." The visitor introduced himself.
Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "Oh, congratulations first for taking the bracelet. May I ask if you have anything to do with me?"
Hammett said without hesitation: "I hope that Mr. Xiao can cancel the auction of that Caligula ring and sell it to us privately. Of course, we will also give Mr. Xiao 20 million meters of gold as compensation. At the same time, Mr. Xiao will gain the friendship of our native people."
Xiao Peng laughed happily when he heard it, and Hammett also laughed when he saw a play.
Xiao Peng suddenly stopped smiling, "I'm sorry, I refuse."
Twenty million meters of gold is really a lot, but compared to the value of this ring, it is too low. The friendship of the people of Turkey? What the hell? Why didn't you say this when you stopped our China Aircraft Carrier from leaving? How much money did you ask for stopping our China Aircraft Carrier? I really thought Huaxia people are so bully!
As soon as Xiao Peng refused, he heard applause from behind him: "Mr. Xiao, I have to say that you have made a wise decision."
Who is this again? Xiao Peng looked back, and a crooked nut who couldn't tell his age stood behind him. Say he is young, right? His head is covered with white hair, but he is old, his spirit is awesome.
The visitor smiled slightly: "Hello, Mr. Xiao, I am Alvaro, the dean of the Milan Museum. Thank you very much for putting such precious cultural relics for auction. Many things inside can fill the gaps in world history."
Xiao Peng thought for a moment: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Alvaro doesn't seem to have taken any lot, right?"
Alvaro nodded and said, "Yes, because my goal is behind."
"Let me guess, are you also interested in Caligula's ring?" Xiao Peng asked.
Alvaro did not deny: "Yes, Caligula is one of the kings of the Roman Empire after all. After he was killed, his ring's whereabouts are unknown. We have only seen the pattern record in history books. This time this ring The reappearance of the human world is an important evidence for us to seek historical truth."
Hammet glared at Alvaro: "The inheritance of the Roman Empire does not belong to you poor creatures who have survived for less than two hundred years."
Alvaro smiled: "That's better than falling into the hands of barbaric Turks."
Hammet snorted coldly: "Isn't our Byzantine Empire clearing up the mess for you? Taking back the glory you lost?"
Alvaro spread his hands: "In the end, he was driven back by the Lombards? It's fun, what's the point?"
Although the two were bickering, Xiao Peng understood what was going on.
In 286 AD, the extremely powerful Roman Empire was divided into two parts by Diocletian, namely the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. The Eastern Roman Empire became the Byzantine Empire in the future, and the Western Roman Empire It perished in 476 AD. Only two hundred years in existence.
Later, the Eastern Roman Empire wanted to regain those areas occupied by foreigners. The Belisarius under Justinian I directly regained North Africa, Italy, and the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula. Unfortunately, Justinian died, Italy Was captured by the Lombards.
But whether it is the Western Roman Empire or the Eastern Roman Empire, they are all extended from the Roman Empire. A treasure with historical value like Caligula's ring, who doesn't want to stay in his own country? This is not like the bracelet, it is a product of the Byzantine period, Milan Museum can not grab, too high value is not worthwhile. But this ancestor's ring, they will not let go.
Xiao Peng didn't want to quarrel with them: "Two distinguished guests, you see, this auction is about to begin. It's too late for me to withdraw the lot. How about the two competing in the auction?"
Hammett had just photographed a pair of Byzantine bracelets, and he would be financially nervous after paying a high price. He quickly took out the phone and reported the situation to the country.
After Xiao Peng and the two said goodbye, they walked back to the venue with Eminem.
Eminem was so excited that he kept talking about something. Seeing Xiao Peng looking at him, Eminem said with a smile: "Sure enough, I have to come out and take a look. This auction is simply fun. A capital crocodile fights wits and courage here, like greedy sharks biting each other, I decided, I will use this as the theme for the next song! This is simply too interesting."
Seeing Eminem happy, Xiao Peng was also happy. Thinking of Eminem's new song, Xiao Peng also looked forward to it.
Not long after they were seated, the highlight of this auction began.
Auctioneer Johnny walked back to the center of the booth again, with an expression earnestly introducing: "As we all know, sapphire is one of the five largest gemstones in the world and a precious colored gemstone. Although there is only a unified sapphire grading system in the world, it is roughly In other words, it is divided into five aspects: color, clarity, weight, cutting, and processing."
"Because of the complex color of sapphire, it is difficult to determine which color saturation or hue is better. Therefore, in the sapphire grading system, according to the color, it is divided into seven tones, including bright blue, bright blue, and royal blue. But the most advanced and best sapphire is always bright blue sapphire. And the flawless bright blue sapphire without impurities under the naked eye is rare in the world. And the sapphire we put out for auction now is named "Blue Cat" by its owner. It is the most perfect piece of all sapphires: a pillow sapphire weighing 538 carats, bright blue in color, flawless in clarity, and has not been heat treated. I dare say that in this world, it is almost impossible to find another one. A sapphire comparable to it! You know, even the "Asian Blue Lady" who set a world sapphire auction record is more than a hundred carats lighter than this sapphire, and the color is not bright blue, only fresh Blue level! Now, this unique sapphire in the world is put up for auction, and I don’t know who will be the lucky one to have it! The starting price is 18 million, so please feel free to bid."
