Chapter 298: Ring of Caligula

Everyone who was present heard the starting price of this sapphire and all took a breath.
The starting price of this auction is already higher than the 17 million sapphire world record set by "Asian Blue Lady".
This means that as long as this sapphire is sold, the price will break the world record!
The name ‘Blue Cat’ was undoubtedly given to it by Xiao Peng.
At that time, Guo Sihua asked him to name it, which was more conducive to the promotion of this sapphire. After thinking about it for a long time, he only thought of two names, ‘Little Blue’ and ‘Blue Cat’.
If it is called Xiao Lanlan, would it be misunderstood that it is called Xiao Lanlan, who is ignorant of Wu Paolan, who has seen X movies in vain?
So this name could not be called, and finally had to take out the blue cat in the blue cat's mischievous three thousand questions as the name of this gem.
Xiao Peng cried and said to Eminem with a sad face: "I regretted selling this sapphire for the introduction of Johnny. This sapphire is so powerful? It seems to be the best piece in the world."
Eminem did not object: "Such a sapphire should really be kept, after all, it is unique. I really can't figure out why you want to sell it, are you short of money? If it is me, I will definitely keep it."
Xiao Peng was crying: "I still have a funding gap of about 150 million yuan. They valued my lot at more than 100 million U.S. dollars. There is no way. I also put out three jadeite products for auction. Who knows that it was over. Two hundred million? When we smoked, I only thought it was a good blue stone. Who knew it was so big."
Eminem was taken aback for a moment, but also laughed: "Now it's too late for you to regret, but I'm curious about one thing."
Xiao Peng asked: "What?"
Eminem said: "This is only the third-to-last lot. This is so scary. What is the origin of the other two?"
As soon as Eminem said it, Xiao Peng was stunned, and he also began to become curious.
He is not responsible for the arrangement of this lot of jewelry auctions. What exactly are the last two?
He took out so many things, but didn't take them to heart.
The bidding for ‘Blue Cat’ is extremely fierce, and many auction agents hold phones in their hands and keep bidding. In less than three minutes, the price of the "Blue Cat" has reached 72 million, breaking the highest auction price for the creation of a Byzantine bracelet.
You know, the high price of Byzantine bracelets is because it is a competition between a group of rich and powerful top museums, and the buyers of this sapphire, except for the jeweler, are private wealthy individuals. And it is the private wealthy who are arguing the price so high. Jewelers still have to consider cost.
It is a Russian gas oligarch and a Middle Eastern oil giant who are bidding now. Both of them are the masters of not bad money. In the end, the Middle East oil giant had a better life and won the sapphire at a high price of 90 million. But it seemed that the two had reached an agreement, after all, after the two had a little conversation, the Russian oligarch gave up.
For these economic predators, money is just a number. The unique sapphire in the world is in their hands, and it is worth investing heavily in these unique words.
What's more, for these energy giants, the price is not expensive, less than 100 million US dollars. Dig some oil and you have everything. . . . . . .
But for others, this figure is scary. You must know that the transaction price of the Asian Blue Lady, which broke the world record, was only 17.6 million meters gold. . . . . .
The penultimate lot is a necklace. This necklace is composed of elaborate festoons, pendants, and tassels, which can almost half cover the of women. Opals, emeralds, sapphires, and rubies are placed on it. It looks very luxurious and noble but not vulgar.
As soon as the necklace was released, everyone took a breath, especially all the women on the scene.
When Johnny said: "The reserve price is 20 million meters gold, everyone is welcome to bid." Taylor and Kim Kardashian raised the bidding cards at the same time and shouted in unison: "50 million!"
The two stared at each other again, and at the same time raised the bidding sign: "Sixty million!" As if they had negotiated in advance, the two did not bid again, just stared at each other.
"One hundred million." It was the Russian oligarch who just spoke. "This will be my best gift for my daughter's wedding."
Huang He poked Feng Jianting: "Listen to how domineering this talk is? You go and soak his daughter, you can definitely straighten up in front of your dad."
Feng Jianting snorted coldly: "I won't marry Gina, I won't change my mind. If you want to go, it doesn't matter to me."
Huang He smiled and said: "Look at how domineering the old Russian husband is, do you really want to change to another old man?"
Feng Jianting shook his head and said: "Huh, what is your vision? How can this old man compare to my old man? Half of his body is buried in the soil, why should he fight my old man?"
Huang He questioned: "The old Maozi took such an expensive necklace as a dowry, married his daughter, and instantly reached the peak of life.
Feng Jianting gave Huang He a slanted look: "Gina's happiness requires me to create for her, such jewelry, I have to personally buy her to make her happier! Not from my old husband!"
Xiao Peng overheard Feng Jianting's words, and nodded in satisfaction. This kid is not bad, at least he speaks eloquently, as if he is a bit spineless.
How can I know that Feng Jianting sneaked into Huang He’s ear again and whispered: "Besides, do you think the dowry given by my old husband can be bad? So many good things are taken out and shot, can he have anything better? ?"
Xiao Peng took out a pen and a notebook from his pocket, and silently memorized a few pens. This kid is absolutely dying!
In the public, I can't clean up you, I will keep you accountable first!
I can't get out of my breath if I don't clean up your meal!
But now, let's keep the bills for you before turning around. The auction is the top priority!
Sure enough, as Xiao Peng imagined, after the Russian oligarchs made their bids, the local oil tyrants did not continue to bid, but this does not mean that others have stopped bidding. An auctioneer and the Russian oligarch kept bidding until the price reached 135 million, and then stopped asking prices. The Russian oligarch got the necklace as usual.
"Who is so rich and powerful, bidding with the rich in Russia like this?" Xiao Peng exclaimed. After all, this is not a work of celebrities, calligraphy and painting, but jewelry. Is it worth spending so much money on a set of jewelry? Anyway, Xiao Peng didn't understand.
Hearing Xiao Peng's words, Hai Li smiled and said, "Xiao, I really know the person who bids, let alone I know, Jin and Taylor must also know each other."
"En? You know who it is through the auction agent? Eminem, do you know who it is?" Xiao Peng asked.
Eminem shook his head: "I don't know him."
Haili looked at Xiao Peng and Eminem disgustingly: "You really don't care about fashion too much. It is Anna Wintour's assistant, and naturally it is the auction on behalf of Anna Wintour."
Xiao Peng suddenly realized that if there are several women in the world who are willing to buy such precious jewelry for themselves, Anna Wintour is definitely one of them.
Anna Wintour is the editor-in-chief of the Stars and Stripes of VOGUE magazine. This woman who has not changed her hair style since she was 14 is known as "the unofficial mayor of New York City." Chinese people know her almost all because of the movie "The Queen Wearing Prada", in that movie Miranda's The prototype is Anna Wintour. There is a paragraph that best proves the status of this person: She delivered an instruction to her assistant in the office: "I need a short skirt." In just a few minutes, PRADA, GUCCI, Chanel, Versace, Armani, FENDI, etc. The dazzling brand public relations manager and assistant will pass on information about every dress that Miranda might be interested in. It can be said that Anna Wintour is the woman at the center of the fashion power mechanism.
It is a pity that the queen of the fashion industry is still defeated by the financial resources of the Russian oligarchs. I don't know how many people in "VOGUE" magazine will suffer from Anna Wintour's anger. This is not what Xiao Peng cares about.
The highlight of the auction has finally begun. When the ring of Caligula, which symbolizes the imperial power of the ancient Roman Empire, was displayed in front of everyone, this time it was the man's turn to catch his breath.
The imperial ring, a symbol of power, no man can ignore the temptation of power.
In order to highlight the loftiness of the imperial ring, Xiao Peng also accepted Guo Sihua's suggestion to auction five Byzantine coins with the imperial ring, symbolizing wealth and power. Well, this is even more fatal temptation for men.
The auction competition was particularly fierce, and Hammett gave up early. The price of this ring has far exceeded their acceptance range. He began to think that this ring should be available for 50 million yuan, but he ignored Guo Sihua's promotion of the ring.
Don't talk about him now, even Alvaro of the Milan Museum is shaking his head and smiling, he has already been defeated, is it because these people's money comes from the sea? Just a gold ring, inlaid with a worthless moonstone, the price is about to exceed 200 million, are these people crazy?
Xiao Peng knew the inside story, and could only say that Guo Sihua's propaganda methods were too good.
You know, the ancient Roman Empire was also a multi-ethnic empire. The Romans, Celts, Greeks, Jews, Egyptians, Germans, etc., and so on, while the vast territory of the ancient Roman empire, including southern Europe, northern Africa, the north, middle east and west are the sphere of influence of the ancient Roman Empire. Today, Italy, France, Britain, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and other countries are all within the territory of the ancient Roman Empire.
And now, the rich and powerful people of various countries have come forward, especially the Jews.
