London, 34-35 New Bond Street, Sotheby's London.

As soon as Li Zitao and Adelaid got out of the car, they were warmly received by the auction house.

After knowing that Li Zitao would participate in this auction, Sotheby's prepared for the day.

Especially after learning about his 'fairy tale love' with Princess Adellaid, this enthusiasm became even more intense.

"Dear Mr. Li, Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is also my honor to have the presence of the two of you to make Sotheby's Peng shine. ”

The head of the headquarters, Berofiolet stood in front of the door with a dignified demeanor, paying deep respect to the two of them.

"Fiore, don't be so restrained, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Adellaide stepped forward to help the other party up.

"Yes, Your Highness Princess, Sotheby's and I have been looking forward to seeing you again. Fiore straightened up and looked at her with enthusiasm.

"I'm sure you already know from the newspapers that Charlie is my fiancé. Adellaide introduced, and Fiore bowed her head.

"My dear, Fiore is Sotheby's First Vice President and is also responsible for the operations of the auction house at its headquarters in London. ”

Hearing Adellaid's introduction, Li Zitao smiled and nodded, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Madame Fioret." ”

The other party has a ring on her finger and a high curl of hair, indicating that she is a married lady.

At this time, it is rare for a girl to simply curl her hair into a hoop, except, of course, working in a factory.

"Your Highness, Mr. Li, please come with me. Fiore led the way.

"Are you familiar with her?" asked Li Zitao curiously.

Sotheby's, of course, is the most famous auction house in Europe, and they are the first choice of the royal family, whether it is buying art or dealing with the royal collection. ”

"That's it. Li Zitao nodded knowingly.

The royal family often disposed of some collections, most of which were non-collectible or flashy gifts, most of which came from gifts from merchants and nobles.

It is no wonder that Sotheby's in the past life is still the world's top auction house in the 21st century.

Fiore's family controls more than half of Sotheby's shares. During the conversation, Li Zitao learned about the situation.

But this is not surprising to him, a woman can sit in the position of vice president, and also be in charge of the most important headquarters auction house operations.

Declare in advance that Li Zitao has absolutely no intention of discriminating against women.

It's just that the limitations of the times determine that it is really impossible for a woman without a little identity background to do this, no matter how talented she is.

Otherwise, Aimo would not have left the Royal Lawyers and become his right-hand man.

"Your Highness, Mr. Li, your place has arrived, I'm sorry, please allow me to leave first. Sending the two to the first row, Fiore left.

"You haven't told me what you talked to about that compatriot from the East on the ship?"

Before the auction began, Adellaide asked about the ship, and after the first meeting, the two talked several times alone, curious about the specifics.

"It's just a business thing. When he mentioned this, Li Zitao's face became strange.

When he met Mei Lanfang before, speaking of Zhang Shaoshuai, Li Zitao took it for granted that the history of Shui Lanxing was no different from the earth in his previous life.

But when he talked to Lian Qinglin about the government of the Republic of China and the chairman......

"I'm afraid Mr. Li doesn't pay much attention to the domestic situation, the chairman of our unified Republic of China government is surnamed Hong, not Jiang!"

Until now, Li Zitao still remembers Lian Qinglin's embarrassed but polite smile.

The government of the United Republic of China, the only party, the United Party, the 13th Standing Committee, those great figures in memory are gone.

This made him realize once again that this was not the earth, but the water blue star.

As for the business that I talked about with Lian Qinglin, it was about ore, tungsten ore.

This compatriot claimed to have some minor connections in the government of the Republic of China and could apply for an export license for tungsten ore, which is a humble style familiar to the Chinese.

Among the acquisition targets of FSC, there is tungsten ore marked with a red pen.

It is an extremely important industrial raw material, which can be used in a wide range of fields, including weapons research and development, national defense engineering, aerospace and navigation.

Automotive, electrical, electronic industry, etc., will use tungsten metal.

Such an important raw material cannot be done with a small relationship.

Eventually, the two reached an agreement that Li Zitao would buy his tungsten ore at market price, but not all of it would be shipped to the United States.

Lian Qinglin would rent a warehouse in Pearl Harbor in his name and hoard a large amount of tungsten ore that he bought.

As for the final role of these tungsten ores, Li Zitao did not tell him.

"The contradictions between the Nationalist Government and the RB are becoming more and more serious, and I am afraid that sooner or later there will be armed conflicts. Adellaid said suddenly.

"Oh, are you still concerned about these?" said Li Zitao in surprise.

"I just happened to hear my mother and Jean talk about it. Adelai Id said casually.

This is the difference in background, the level of contact is also different, the best performance!

"Maybe it's more troublesome than they think. Although the Nationalist Government has become unrecognizable, there is no discrepancy between the things about Zhang Dashuai and the Young Marshal in his memory.

This is what worries Li Zitao the most, and the date of that incident is getting closer and closer.

Bang Bang!

There was a sound of gavels striking on the auction table, and Fiore, dressed in smart trousers, a suit, and a top hat, appeared in front of everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming, today is the first Sotheby's Winter Auction, I hope you will ...... today"

Fiore spoke on it, and the bidders fell silent.

"Below, we have Lot 1. After the politeness, the auction officially began, and Fiore enthusiastically introduced the lots.

It's just that Li Zitao always felt that there was something missing on her, and when he saw her hand pointing to the lot again, he suddenly said: "It would be better if there were a pair of white gloves." ”

"Nice advice. Adeleid's eyes lit up.

The auction items are miscellaneous, including some manuscripts, celebrity notes, lost family inheritance items, unknown treasure maps, and more.

The bidding below was fierce, but Li Zitao was not very interested.

Instead, Adelaide happily bought a pair of gemstone earrings, worth £300.

"Next, Lot 38. A bronze vessel was lifted up, and the sleepy Li Zitao suddenly became interested.

"The Tiger Man-eating Wine Pot from the Ancient Kingdom of the East, according to the translated information and the identification of several expert masters, this bronze vessel is from 3,000 thousand years ago,

From the most powerful dynasty of that period, the Shang ......"

Isn't this the national treasure, the Tiger Man-Eater?

In the previous life, it was exiled to RB and has been stored in the Kyoto Izumiya Hakukokan, how did it appear here?

Li Zitao couldn't figure out why, but that didn't stop him from deciding to buy the lot, and he was determined to get it.
