"The starting bid, £10,000. Fiore struck the gavel.

"20 thousand. "For bronzes, foreigners in this period are not very interested, only those who are also interested in the history of China, will pay attention.

But for Li Zitao, it doesn't matter if there is a buyer or not.

20,000, the first bid shocked the audience, and those who knew showed a clear look after seeing him, and those who didn't know had already discussed it one after another.

Not because of his bid, but because he was surprised that the price appeared on a piece of bronze.

Well, if you don't count that long history, in the eyes of today's foreigners, it's not even worth £1.

"£20,000, is there anyone else bidding?...... The first time, "bang."

"From the ancient country of the East, the royal family of 3,000 years ago, the precious bronze wine jug, with a very high collection value...... £20,000 for the second time. "Bang.

Looking at the gavel that was about to strike the gong, Li Zitao showed a victor's smile.

"25,000," a voice rang out.

"£25,000, this gentleman bid £25,000. Now it was Fiore's turn with a smile on her face.

The bronze objects bought for 200 pounds have multiplied a hundredfold, which is a lot of money.

"£50,000. Before the first hammer dropped, Li Zitao raised his fingers.

"55 thousand. This time, Li Zitao finally saw the bidder, a middle-aged white man sitting in the corner.

When he found Li Zitao looking at him, the other party politely lowered his head and took off his hat, smiled and saluted, and by the way, he also looked at Adella Ide beside him.

"100,000. Li Zitao smiled indifferently, refreshed the quotation again, turned his head to look at Sasha and asked, "Do you know?"

"I'm not sure, he looks like he's changed a lot, maybe I'm mistaken. Adelayed looked back in confusion.

"Boom, deal. The other party did not compete again, and Li Zitao successfully won the auction.

Fioret looked at Li Zitao more frequently, and had a further understanding of his wealth and generosity.

The only thing that made him feel awkward was that every time he introduced, he had to say "Tiger eats man wine jug......"

"Next, the last lot of the sale, the Sea of Light. "The auction entered the most, and some people stood up excitedly.

Adeleid's red lips opened slightly, and she looked at Li Zitao with surprise in surprise.

"Your gift has arrived. Li Zitao smiled affirmatively.

Knowing that the 'Sea of Light' was the gift Li Zitao said, Adelaide was overjoyed, and looked at the square wooden box on the stage with wide eyes and anticipation.

"Wow" The moment Fiore opened the box, the lights dimmed together, and only a beam of light lit up in the middle of the auction table.

A light red gemstone the size of a woman's fist instantly attracts everyone's eyes and hearts.

Everyone present who saw it couldn't help but hold their breath, as if they couldn't bear to disturb this sacred moment.

Li Zitao is the same, a pink diamond the size of a woman's fist, the brilliant color seems to be able to illuminate the whole world, mysterious, noble and elegant.

It's like seeing all the good things in this world, and you can use it to symbolize everything.

"The 17th Mughal Emperor of India received this rare light pink diamond and regarded it as a symbol of wealth.

In order to better possess it, the Mughal emperor ordered craftsmen to polish it into a rosette-shaped diamond weighing about 300 carats.

And specially create a crown and set it on it to set off its beauty and uniqueness......"

Fioret uses an emotional voice and an impassioned tone to highlight its value and tell its origins.

"With the fall of the Mughal city by Persia, the Sea of Light also fell into the hands of the Persians, and as to why it appeared here,

Because there are some ** involved, please forgive me for not being able to tell you, but I assure you that it comes from the official channel and will not cause any trouble for the buyer"

Seeing the pair of impatient eyes below, Fiore smiled with satisfaction, raised the small gavel and said, "The reserve price is 5 million pounds, and the auction begins!"

Syllable!

As the gavel sounded, there was no movement below, and everyone was waiting for someone else to strike first.

"10 million pounds!" found that everyone was so humble, Li Zitao was willing to be the first person to eat crabs.

He didn't have time to compete with these people for thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of pounds.

£10 million, the price is enough to make 99% of people break their minds, and the rest are the ones who really have the strength to bid.

Sitting behind Li Zitao, the man who didn't look up at the normal auction raised his hand and said, "10.5 million." ”

"11 million. "11.5 million. "13 million. ”

......

......

The scene instantly became lively, and the bidding sound came and went, endlessly.

A hundred thousand pounds, or even hundreds of thousands, is as cheap as a few pounds at the moment.

Those rich people who had raised their hands frequently before, thinking that they were worth a lot, now stared at the low-key and unfamiliar bidders beside them.

Raise your hand again and again, shouting out the sky-high price that makes their hearts tremble.

The price soared all the way to £18 million before the pace finally slowed down, with only four people left to continue bidding.

Li Zitao, the middle-aged man who had previously competed with him for the Tiger Cannibal, the low-key young man sitting in the second row behind him, and the middle-aged man in the fourth row on the right.

Except for the white man who seemed to know Adele Ide, the other two had one thing in common, low-key.

"Proxy shooting. Li Zitao had an understanding in his heart.

While Sotheby's guarantees that the diamond won't have any trouble, the best way to avoid it is to let it 'disappear again'. ’

As long as no one knows the real buyer, there will be no trouble.

"119 million, British, British pounds. The middle-aged man in the corner said in a slightly stumbling tone.

"Oh, it's really him. Adellaide seemed to recognize the other party suddenly, and said softly, "That's Prince Albert, the second in line to the throne of the king of country Y." ”

"Our Royal Highness the King likes to collect diamonds?" Li Zitao said with a smile, a prince can come up with 19 million pounds, he doesn't believe it very much.

"Now it seems that it is. Adellaid pursed her lips.

"Rest assured, it's just yours. Li Zitao got up indifferently.

"25 million, if there are still bids, no matter how much, I will give 1 million pounds more until I buy it. ”

Handsome, Li Zitao at this moment is simply handsome.

Even Fiore, who was on the auction table, looked at him with a somewhat confused gaze.

Why doesn't such a wayward person not belong to him?

"£25 million...... For the first time. ”

“...... Second. ”

"Congratulations to Mr. Li for obtaining this unique sea of light, and this auction is over. ”

As Fiore closed the curtain on the auction, there was a round of applause.

Although the most high-profile lot, the Sea of Light was won by Li Zitao.

But the crowd did not hesitate to give friendly applause and congratulations, especially when it came to knowing who the diamond would belong to.

"What should such a big diamond be used for?" Adelaide was a little troubled at the moment, and the surprise came too suddenly.

A diamond the size of her fist, like the Mount of Light set on the royal scepter of Windsor......

No, it's more dazzling than that.
