When Simon and the others appeared in the auction hall, there was obviously a commotion on the scene, and if it wasn't for the auction to start immediately, it would be inevitable to have a lot of entertainment.

The four of them sat down a little further down the hall, and Gianni Agnelli felt a certain restlessness around her, and there was a rare wave of envy, or rather, jealousy, that had not been seen in many years.

The Agnelli family is known as the 'royal family' of Italy, although the current wealth lags behind Berlusconi, ranking second in Italy, but with the heritage of this family for nearly a century, the influence of the Agnelli family in Italy is far greater than that of Berlusconi, a newcomer who is only a commoner.

For most of the past occasions, the attention around him should have been focused on him as a matter of course. This time, however, he became a foil, and the kind that was almost ignored.

Even though he felt this very clearly, Gianni Agnelli found that there was no possibility of flipping around.

Compared to his personal net worth of $2.7 billion last year, the wealth of the young people around him is simply desperate.

Moreover, considering the recent series of big moves made by the other party, the public visit to China has aroused strong attention from global capital to China, and has also caused a strong Westeros effect in other Asian countries, hitting the stock markets of Japan, South Korea and other countries like a financial disaster.

A trip to Europe over the past week.

Britain, Finland, Italy, Russia, Ukraine and Italy, although there is no public media coverage, in fact, from the authorities of European countries down to local forces like them, who can get the news, are closely watching this young man's every move.

And today, an article in the New York Times has left the French government disgraced and exhausted.

All these actions are far from being done by the Agnelli family, who can only call for wind and rain on this acre and third of an acre of land in Italy, just like at this time, they are completely just looking at it.

Fortunately, the auction began soon.

With a beautifully bound booklet in his hand, Gianni Agnelli had a slight desire to compete with the young man next to him, and then gave up.

Melisandre directly or indirectly controls up to 62% of the voting rights of Christie's, although the acquisition of Melisandre deliberately brought a group of Italian capital into the market, and the Agnelli family also participated, but it was only a symbolic investment for the two sides to make a good deal, holding 7.5% of the shares, which is not as high as Berlusconi's 10%. In short, this auction house is almost all about young people.

And, looking at today's lots, the brochure highlights a collection of Château Latour.

Château Latour, one of the five famous French wineries, and a brand of Melisandre, is obviously still owned by young people around her.

So, buying wine from someone's winery at someone's auction house and competing with someone is not self-deprecating?

How can there be such a guy in this world that everyone can only look up to!

After all, after being in a high position for many years and a short period of imbalance, Gianni Agnelli quickly calmed down and asked the young man next to him: "Simon, I haven't read the manual in advance, is there anything worth recommending tonight?"

Simon was whispering to Sofia, when he turned to Agnelli and said with a smile: "The best is of course the 1982 rarity launched by Château Latour, and now many wineries have begun to promote the 1982 vintage in the Bordeaux region, but in fact, only the Bordeaux Pauillac appellation, where Latour, Lafite and Mouton are located, has reached the top 98 points, and other wines, such as Margaux and Graf, are not even 90 points, which is relatively average." And this is Latour's first public auction of the 1982 cellar, because it is about to reach 15 years of cellaring, which is both collectible and drinkable. Then there's the 1978 dry red of Château Persquet in the Rhône-Ard, which is also a rare top vintage with a score of 98, and the quality is good enough. On the Italian side, a batch from the Marquis de Piedmont winery also happens to be a 1978 vintage, with 97 points, but this is a collection type, because of the quality, it needs to be cellared for about five years before it can mature. ”

Gianni Agnelli listened to the eloquent conversation of the young man next to him, and his heart was slightly astringent again.

All right.

Just now, I still have some school examination mentality in my heart. Probably Berlusconi, who is quite vulgar in the eyes of many people, must not be able to say these words.

On stage, the auction officially began.

The finale naturally ends at the end, starting with just some relatively average red wines.

However, probably because of someone's presence, the auction was very lively from the beginning, and the guests frequently raised their cards, which obviously meant to attract some people's attention, and the price was inevitably high.

Gianni Agnelli lost his temper completely, became more and more calm, and resumed discussing some recent current affairs with Simon.

After all, there are not many opportunities to communicate with this young man.

After more than ten minutes like this, Simon, who was chatting with Agnelli about some details of the U.S. election, felt a slight chill on the back of his neck, as if something had gotten into the neckline, subconsciously reached behind him, pressed it accurately, and felt it, but it was a pearl earring.

A lady behind him had leaned over and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Westeros, I accidentally dropped my earrings." ”

Gianni Agnelli glanced around.

This is a brunette with a pair of beautiful crescent eyes, special eyes and a perfect face, born with a charming and seductive atmosphere.

I just laughed a little, and I didn't bother to sigh.

Once also a playboy, how did Gianni Agnelli not understand what this was like.

Moreover, it seems that this face has been seen somewhere.

It should be a star.

It's just that tonight this stunner is unlikely to notice himself anyway.

Simon hadn't paid much attention before, and only took a few more glances when he returned the pearl earrings to the woman behind him, and recognized them.

Alessandra Martinis.

The heroine of the imported film "Golden Rose Cave", which was quite impressive in her previous life.

Princess of the Golden Rose Cave.

At this time, it was obviously not the time to talk too much, just smiled at the woman behind him, Simon retracted his attention, and Sophia, who was beside him, of course, also noticed these details, also glanced behind him, and then gave Simon a blank look.

The wine auction lasts about an hour.

Simon didn't raise his card, after all, Sophia would definitely give the best for her own use first, but it was Gianni Agnelli who auctioned all ten boxes of Latour's 1982 treasures at once.

Sophia finally whispered to Simon with some joy that the average price of a series of wines in this auction was at least 30% higher than expected because of his presence.

Simon also joked that he could attend more in the future.

Rebates are to be given, though.

The auction ended, followed by a reception.

After waiting for an hour, seeing that Simon Westeros did not leave immediately, a group of guests naturally stepped forward to talk.

Alessandra Martinis, who had dropped the earrings on Simon's collar during the auction, quickly came over and apologized to Simon very sincerely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Westeros, I don't believe it's so embarrassing to drop earrings in your collar." ”

"It's all right," said Simon, holding out his hand to the other with a glass of champagne in his hand, "But, ma'am, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

"Oh, I almost forgot," the woman hurriedly took Simon's hand, looked at Simon with a pair of charming eyes, and said, "My name is Alexandra Martinis." ”

Seeing this, Sophia didn't plan to be a light bulb, and she didn't care about men's affairs, and she couldn't control them, so she took the initiative to walk away under the pretext of greeting other guests.

Feeling the palm of his hand being gently stroked by the other party during the handshake, Simon's smile remained unchanged and said, "I guess, Yali, can I call you that?"

"Of course, Simon. ”

Simon continued, "Yalie, you're a ballerina, aren't you?"

The woman blinked, shook her head, and said, "You guessed half right, Simon, I'm a classical dancer, and besides, I'm an actor now." ”

"I'm sorry I haven't been able to see you on the screen before, can you tell us about your work?"

When Alessandra Martinis heard Simon ask, she suddenly showed a surprised expression, shook her head and said, "In front of Simon, the things I photographed really can't even be called works." ”

"Don't be so unconfident, you are so beautiful, and your temperament is so good, if it were me, I would definitely put it in my favorite movie. ”

Simon said this, but remembered.

The "Golden Rose Cave" in my memory is probably a work in the 90s, and since it was introduced in China at that time, the response should be good, and if the woman in front of me participates, it can be regarded as a masterpiece that can be spoken.

Right now.

It is likely that it is because of Simon's big butterfly again, and some things have been adapted.

Compared to those European actresses in memory, Alessandra Martinis is indeed not famous, Simon still remembers that the other party was married to a French director who was good enough to be her father, and the result was still tepid. This time, under the influence of Simon's big butterfly, it may be even more sluggish.

After all, there is no shortage of beautiful women in this world.

This is especially true in the film and television industry.

Although the woman in front of her is very beautiful, in the European circle where the European film and television industry has begun to decline, there are actually very few opportunities to get ahead.

This time, I probably didn't even climb an old man's director.

Of course, these are just assumptions.

Simon doesn't really pay much attention to some of the things behind the scenes.

However, hearing Simon's obviously polite words, Alessandra Martinis's crooked crescent eyes widened into a pair of almond eyes, which were even more charming, with obvious anticipation in her expression: "Simon, are you serious?"

Simon curled the corners of his mouth: "Okay, I'm kidding. ”

The woman's momentum suddenly weakened a lot, but she also felt the ridicule in the eyes of the man in front of her, and said angrily: "I didn't expect you to be so hateful." ”

Simon changed the subject slightly: "Yalie, do you live in Milan?"

Hearing Simon's words, Alessandra Martinis took the man's words as some kind of probing, and shook her head cooperatively: "I used to stay in Rome for a few years, and now I am mainly developing in France, and this time I came here to participate in a brand event. ”

Milan is the fashion capital of Europe after Paris.

Even if it is not the two major fashion weeks of spring and autumn, there are various press releases almost every month.

Simon nodded, since the other party didn't point it out, it was obviously not Melisandre's brand activity, which was probably also because of the coffee position, at this stage of Melisandre's brand event, she would definitely not invite these actresses who could only be regarded as third-tier actresses, of course, except for others who found a way to get an invitation and took the initiative to come over.

After all, the word 'rubbing' is very popular all over the world.

Seeing that Simon didn't continue to ask, Alessandra found a topic at the right time: "Simon, speaking of which, I just watched "Mission Impossible 2" produced by Daenerys Entertainment yesterday, and this movie is really amazing. ”

With the operation of the Westeros system in Italy, "Mission Impossible 2" has been released simultaneously in Italy and North America.

In comparison, France, Germany and several other countries still stick to the door.

Simon corrected with a smile: "To be precise, this project is mainly in charge of Paramount. ”

"But you're in charge, aren't you?"

Simon nodded, "yes." ”

"Huh. The woman smiled and said, "From now on, the global box office of "Mission Impossible 2" should reach 500 million US dollars, right?"

Today is Monday, and because of the time difference, Simon hasn't looked at the box office report of the past weekend, so he just shook his head: "This, I don't know very well, but it also depends on the box office situation of the first week in the world to determine." ”

Although I don't know the data for the weekend, the feedback from the test screening and the box office on the first day last Friday Simon still knows.

Therefore, with $500 million globally, it should not be a big problem.

Because of the success of this project, Bai Ge Wu, who has cooperated with Daenerys Entertainment on three projects, has already begun to prepare for his next movie, which is actually the peak of Bai Pigeon Wu in Hollywood in history, "Changing Face".

It's a pity that because Nicolas Cage has become the leading actor in the "Mission Impossible" series, and "Mission Impossible 2" has just been released, it is not suitable to participate in "Changing Face" again

The two former leading actors, Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, were able to combine together because they were similar in all aspects, and created this Hollywood classic with White Dove Wu, and even the later Hong Kong film classic "Infernal Affairs", which was actually inspired by "Changing Face".

This time, Cage can no longer participate, and correspondingly, if he can't find another leading actor who matches the shape and temperament of the coffee position, John Travolta may also have to be replaced.

Simon only hopes that this classic will not be changed by this.

"It's definitely going to happen," Alessandra nodded her head very firmly, said so, looked at Simon again, and said: "By the way, Simon, it seems that you haven't launched your new film for a long time, the last one was "This Man is from Earth", I have to say, this is also a masterpiece, I am looking forward to your next work." ”
