Text Volume 1 Text_Chapter 1794 The Emerald Empress
Yan Fei had already finished talking to someone.
Karl saw her eyes light up, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master!"
Yan Fei was still a little embarrassed by this title, and said dryly: "Cough, let's call me Yan Fei this one." β
How could Carl be willing, he was still going to learn a few kung fu from Yan Fei, so he hurriedly said, "How can this work." β
Yan Fei had no choice but to look at Ye Qiu as if asking for help.
Ye Qiu coughed and said, "Carl, just call the master in private, now let's call Miss Yan." β
"Okay. When Carl saw Ye Qiu speak, he reluctantly agreed.
"Master Karl. β
At this moment, an old man with gray hair walked over quickly, this is the current butler of the De Beers family, Bot.
"Bote. Carl introduced, "This is Mr. Ye, and Miss Yan, and Miss Yan is still my master...... Huaxia Kung Fu teacher, they will be the distinguished guests of our De Beers family in the future, do you remember clearly?"
Bot was taken aback, looked up at Ye Qiu and Yan Fei, and felt very surprised in his heart, knowing that although Carl liked Chinese culture very much, the De Beers family had never had a Chinese guest.
However, when he heard that it was Carl's Chinese kung fu teacher, Bot frowned in his heart, thinking that Carl might have been deceived.
In his opinion, the so-called Chinese kung fu is all flashy and embroidered legs, which are not as good as real fighting skills.
And when he saw the jewelry in Ye Qiu's hand, he was even more sure that they were liars.
But this is his own master, and Bot didn't dare to show anything, and said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, Miss Yan." β
"Let's go. β
Under the guidance of Bote, Carl took Ye Qiu and Yan Fei to take their seats quickly, and there was not much time before the auction began, and others also took their seats.
Just after a few people were seated, a flirtatious voice came from the side.
"Carl, it's been a long time. β
Cicero sat not far from Karl and said with a sneer on his face.
When Carl saw him, his face became gloomy: "Cicero, I didn't expect you to come too!"
This Cicero is the future heir to the Grantham family, the second largest jeweller family, rivaling the De Beers family.
In the same way, Carl and Cicero are also competitors, and they have never looked at each other wrongly, but they didn't expect to meet today.
Cicero smiled and said, "Carl, I heard that you have been staying in that wild place in the east in recent years, and I don't know if you have found anything good. β
Karl's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Cicero, pay attention to your words, this will cause your family big trouble sooner or later." β
Cicero snorted coldly: "This is not Huaxia, who can control me? Even if I say it, what if I say it, can it be that those idiots can still sanction me?"
Ye Qiu's eyes narrowed, and the aura on his body slowly rose.
Yan Fei's pretty face was also covered with frost, this Cicero was too much, and he didn't care about them being there at all.
Carl liked Chinese culture very much, and he didn't allow others to blaspheme it like this, and said coldly: "Cicero, you'd better not provoke me!"
A sneer appeared on the corner of Cicero's mouth, and he didn't say anything more, he just wanted to see how ugly Carl's face would be when the auction was over.
Carl said to Ye Qiu and Yan Fei, "I'm sorry for disturbing this idiot. β
The aura on Ye Qiu's body dissipated instantly at this time, and he waved his hand: "It's okay." β
The auction began soon.
After the auctioneer came to the stage and gave an impassioned speech, he immediately stepped into the main topic and began to let people display those peerless treasures one by one. "Everyone's good, the first exhibit is a brooch that once belonged to Queen Mary of Romania. She was the favorite granddaughter of Alexander II the Great, and the brooch was designed by the master Karl FabergΓ©!
000,000 dollars!"
The first exhibit attracted a lot of attention, especially some women's eyes.
It was a heart-shaped brooch with a shimmering crown decoration that reflected a dreamlike glow in the spotlight.
"$4.3 million!"
"$4.4 million!"
......
"$6 million!"
Soon the price had soared to $6 million, and finally a socialite sold for $6.5 million, opening the auction to a good start.
"The second exhibit is an emerald and diamond necklace, a dazzling jewel that once belonged to the last Empress of Italy, Marie Joseph......"
"$9 million!"
"$10 million!"
The auctioneer's emotions are always high, after all, it is a grand event in the jewelry world, and each piece is a rarity, and it is absolutely a great honor for his career to be able to get a high price from his hands. "Let me introduce one of the most shining protagonists of this auction, which is made up of 27 huge jade beads, ranging in diameter from 15.4 mm to 19.2 mm, which once belonged to the famous socialite, Barbara Hutton
......β
"This beautiful necklace was designed by the master designer Cartier and is one of the most perfect and beautiful treasures in the world!"
"This is the Emerald Empress!"
"It's a masterpiece that the De Beers family generously displayed at a local auction!"
Everyone at the auction site was breathing, looking at the beautiful, perfect, jadeite necklace like a work of art on the stage, and felt their blood boiling.
They did not expect that in this auction, the De Beers family would actually come up with such a rare treasure that can be ranked among the top ten jewels in history.
The auctioneer took a deep breath and said with some excitement: "And her starting price is $20 million, and each increase is not less than $1 million!"
When his words fell, the scene quickly fell into a fierce bidding, especially those women, their eyes were already red, if they could take pictures of this rare treasure, even if they were bankrupt.
Soon the price increased from $20 million to $30 million, then to $40 million, and finally to another jewelry house for $4,650.
Seeing that they were successful, everyone else was sorry, and the regret was also very smacked, the De Beers family was able to come up with this kind of treasure for auction, which shows that they have a deep heritage.
And this is also the result of the De Beers family's desire to swear to everyone who is the first family in the jewelry industry.
"Young master, congratulations. β
Bot laughed.
Karl smiled slightly, and was about to say something when a strange voice sounded next to him. Cicero sneered and said, "Carl, you seem to have forgotten something. β
