Chapter 189: The ability to have money is handsome

"Starting price, £10,000." Fiore banged the gavel.
"Twenty thousand." For bronzes, foreigners in this period are not very interested, and only those who are also interested in the history of China will be concerned.
But for Li Zitao, it doesn't matter if there are buyers.
20,000, the first bid was shocked to the audience. The people who knew it showed a look after seeing him, and they had already talked about it without knowing it.
Not because of his bid, but surprised that the price appeared on a piece of bronze.
Well, if it doesn't count that long history, in the eyes of foreigners now, it's not worth even 1 pound.
"Twenty thousand pounds, is there anyone else to bid?...for the first time"
"From the ancient country of the East, the royal family 3,000 years ago, the precious bronze hip flask, has a very high collection value... 20,000 pounds for the second time." Wow.
Looking at the mallet that was about to knock on the gong, Li Zitao smiled as the winner.
"25,000," a voice sounded.
"25,000 pounds, this gentleman bid 25,000 pounds." This time it was Fiore's smile.
Bronze bought for 200 pounds has doubled, which is not a small gain.
"50 thousand pounds." Li Zitao raised his finger before the first drop.
"55,000." This time Li Zitao finally saw the bidder, a middle-aged white man sitting in the corner.
When he discovered that Li Zitao looked at him, the other party bowed his head politely, smiled and paid tribute, and also looked at Adelaide beside him.
"100,000." Li Zitao smiled indifferently, refreshed the offer again, and turned to Sasha and asked, "Do you know?"
"I'm not sure, he looks very different, maybe I admit it wrong." Adelaide looked back suspiciously.
"Boom, deal." The opponent did not compete anymore, and Li Zitao successfully won the auction.
Fiore looked at Li Zitao frequently, and had a further understanding of his wealth and generosity.
The only thing that makes him feel awkward is that every time he introduces, he has to come up with a "Tiger Husband-Human Jug..."
"Next, I would like to invite you to the last lot in this field, the sea of ​​light." The auction entered its climax, and some people stood up excitedly.
Adelaide opened her lips slightly and looked at Li Zitao in surprise.
"Your gift is here." Li Zitao smiled with affirmation.
Knowing that the "Sea of ​​Light" is the gift Li Zitao said, Adelaide opened her eyes, looking at the square wooden box on the stage with her eyes wide open.
"Wow--" When Fiore opened the box, the lights dimmed, and only a beam of light was on in the middle of the auction stand.
A woman's fist-sized light red gemstone instantly attracted everyone's eyes and mind.
Everyone present who saw it couldn't help but hold his breath, as if he couldn't bear to disturb this sacred moment.
The same is true for Li Zitao. A woman's fist-powdered pink diamond, with brilliant colors, seems to illuminate the world, mysterious, noble and elegant.
It's like seeing all the good things in this world, you can use it to symbolize everything.
"The 17th Emperor Mughal of India obtained this rare light pink diamond and regarded it as a symbol of wealth,
In order to better own it, the Mughal emperor ordered the craftsmen to grind it into a rose-shaped diamond weighing about 300 carats,
And specially create a crown, inlaid it on top, set off its beauty and unparalleled..."
Fiore uses a voice that contains emotions and a faltering tone to highlight its value and tell its origins.
"As Persia captured the Mughal king city, the sea of ​​light also fell into the hands of the Persians, so why did it appear here,
Please forgive me because it involves some privacy, but I assure you that it comes from a formal channel and will not cause any trouble for the purchaser."
Seeing a pair of eager eyes below, Fiore smiled with satisfaction, raised his gavel and said: "The base price of 5 million pounds, start bidding!"
Wow!
As the gavel struck, but there was no movement below, everyone was waiting for others to take action first.
"10 million pounds!" Found that everyone is so humble, Li Zitao is willing to be the first to eat crabs.
He has no time to compete with these people by thousands, tens of thousands or 100,000 pounds.
10 million pounds, this price is enough for 99% of people to break their minds, and the rest are those who have real power to bid.
Sitting behind Li Zitao, the man who did not raise his head at the normal auction raised his hand and said: "10.5 million."
"11 million." "11.5 million." "13 million."
...
...
The scene was instantly lively, and the bidding sounded one after another.
Hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pounds are as cheap as a few pounds at the moment.
Those who raised their hands frequently in the past and considered themselves wealthy, now stared at the low-key, strange-looking bidders beside them.
Raising their hands again and again, shouting the sky-high price that made them thrill.
The price soared to 18 million pounds, and the rhythm finally slowed down. Only 4 people were still bidding.
Li Zitao, a middle-aged man who had previously competed with the Tiger Cannibal, a low-key youth sitting in the second row behind him, and a middle-aged man in the fourth row on the right.
Except for the white man who seemed to know Adelaide, the other two have a common feature, low-key.
"On behalf of the shoot." Li Zitao has a clear understanding in his heart.
Although Sotheby’s guarantees that the diamond will not cause any trouble, the best way to avoid trouble is to make it disappear ‘EbookFREE.me~ again. ’
Only if no one knows its true buyer, there will be no trouble.
"11 million, English, pound sterling." The middle-aged tone in the corner stumbled slightly.
"Oh, it's really him." Adelaide suddenly recognized each other, and said softly; "That's Prince Albert, the second heir to King Y."
"Our Highness likes to collect diamonds very much?" Li Zitao smiled. A prince can take out 19 million pounds. He doesn't believe it.
"It seems so now." Adelaide pursed her lips.
"Relax, it only belongs to you." Li Zitao got up lightly.
"25 million, if anyone else bids, no matter how much, I will have 1 million more pounds until I buy it."
Handsome, Li Zitao is so handsome at the moment.
Even Fiore on the auction stand looked somewhat confused.
Why is it that such a willful money-handling person does not belong to himself?
"25 million pounds...for the first time."
"……the second time."
"The deal, congratulations to Mr. Li for obtaining this unique sea of ​​light. This auction is over."
As Fiore put the curtain on the auction, there was a warm applause all around.
Although the most high-profile lot, the sea of ​​light was won by Li Zitao.
But everyone did not skimp on the friendly applause and congratulations, especially when knowing who the diamond belongs to.
"Which place should I use for such a large diamond?" Adelaide was suffering a bit at the moment, and the surprise came too suddenly.
A diamond as big as her fist, like the mountain of light inlaid on the scepter of the Royal Windsor...
No, it's more gorgeous than it.
