"Guitar and sheet music by Blue Gift-Hale", reserve price of £1,000, estimate of £50,000, final price ...... A million pounds!

Before the auction officially begins, professional auctioneers will value all the items, giving a vague estimate of the nature of the charity auction, taking into account the identity and status of the owner of the donated item, to help warm up the auction. But now it seems that they clearly underestimated the "value" of Lan Li.

From an estimate of 50,000 to a transaction of 1 million, it has increased by 200 times, and from a reserve price of 1,000 to a transaction of 1,000,000, it has increased by a factor of 1,000. Even the well-informed Alexander Hamilton could not hide his surprise and could not help but smile sincerely.

What's more, that's not all there is to the auction.

"Qing Dynasty Qianlong Imperial Material Tire Painting Enamel Lady Picture Rectangular Snuff Bottle", the reserve price is 50,000 pounds, the estimated price is 300,000 pounds, and the final transaction price is 1.5 million pounds!

The hammer drop price is 30 times higher than the reserve price and five times higher than the estimate. Such a gesture is really rare even in a real art auction, the enthusiasm and activity of the market are far beyond imagination, and the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the bidding make the scene always maintain a hot atmosphere.

The two items that were sold for the highest and second highest prices in the auction were all from the same donor, and the third most expensive item was auctioned by the same donor, so it was only natural that the focus was on this special guest.

Blue Rite - Hall!

For the past five years, this has been one of the most familiar names of London's upper class – not because of reverence, but because of gossip.

Everyone is paying attention to what this new generation of actors can make in the field of art, and what heights they can reach. In those eyes, schadenfreude, disdain, and picky melon-eating ingredients occupy the majority, and everyone seems to be waiting for a joke to become their after-dinner conversation, as for what dreams and beliefs, there is no meaning at all.

Time has passed, and Lan Li has gained a firm foothold at the top of the pyramid around the world in another way - not only limited to the entertainment industry, Lan Li's powerful influence is entering a higher level, with an extraordinary voice, enough to radiate to different levels and positions of society, which is eye-catching, and then Lan Li has become a treasure that everyone is eager to see, and everyone can't wait to become his embrace.

In September, he returned to London again with a high-profile appearance, which was also his first social activity outside of work, which inevitably led to more discussions, which made people wonder if the world's hottest celebrity will officially return to London.

In addition to the huge interests sustained by Vanity Fair's identity, there are also the financial interests represented by Sisyphus Pictures and the rumored Don Quixote Channel, plus the social interests represented by the Heather Cross Foundation and the Folk Music Festival, all of which make Lan Li extremely valuable, and it is no exaggeration to say that everyone wants to know Lan Li, even if it is just a small meeting in a private club.

All the focus came together and finally fell on today's charity auction, and the crowd created this miracle!

In fact, there is a lot of focus on the auction.

Alexander Hamilton's perfect debut, the mysterious guest number forty-three, the uninvited arrival of the Halls, the attendance of Beatrice with a male companion, the confusion of the Beckhams, the refusal of the Earl of Oxford, the tech upstart who did not receive an invitation, the Viscount of So-and-so who went on vacation to Naples after being denied...... And so on, there are countless topics of discussion in high society, and those present can attract attention, and those who are not present are even more gossipy, not to mention the relevant discussions about the auction items and auction guests.

“…… actually just donated a book, which should have been left by his great-grandfather, and I don't know how long he will be ruined. ”

"She hadn't held a sign yet, it looked like she was just here to pretend to be a statue, and I don't understand why she was invited. ”

"Did you notice what he photographed? It was supposed to be his ex-girlfriend, who was now dating a tech upstart in the financial district. ”

"I didn't expect that even the last bit of family money is gone, that vase was obviously a wedding gift from the earl last time, and now it is also donated as an antique, and the rate of decay is so fast, do you know what happened to their family? Could it be that the investment in real estate failed?"

"When do you think he's going to raise his sign? Don't you take part in the whole process? Oh, by the way, when bidding for snuff bottles, he raised a sign once, 60,000 pounds, and then he quickly put it down, lest he win the bid, and he doesn't know if he can come up with 60,000 pounds." ”

Focus focus, or focus.

Every move, smile and smile are all the focus, which is literal, even if it is just a sign or a look, it may become the focus of the surrounding guests' scrutiny, even if it is a repeated wearing of a set of clothes or the collar of the shirt is wrinkled, it may reveal their own details.

On such an occasion, you must pay attention to your words and deeds and look at every moment, every minute and every second, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may become the laughing stock of the upper class, and you can't even raise your head for a long time- If anyone is curious about why Lan Li's etiquette is never wrong, or why Lan Li's gentlemanly demeanor is so elegant, they can come to the auction to experience it, and they will know where that sense of restraint comes from.

The same demeanor and demeanor may be unique in Hollywood, but in the upper class, it is customary.

But it was precisely on such occasions that Lan Li still easily became the focus of the audience, and in the midst of countless discussions and gossip, the topic of Lan Li has never been interrupted - about the Hall couple, there have been hundreds of rounds between the exchange of heads and eyes, but because of Lan Li's face, no one is so disappointed, and now, the auction is over, and Lan Li has deservedly become the center of the conversation, even Alexander has to admit that Lan Li's far-reaching influence is really a bit terrifying.

And so the auction ended.

Dave Clark immediately noticed that all the eyes of the audience fell on Lan Li, even when talking to others, the eyes couldn't help but drift in the direction of Lan Li, including Beatrice, which made Dave feel tight, as if a heavy hammer had hit him in the chest.

What's going on? It's not the way he imagined it, so he spent a million pounds on a set of children's musical instruments, and then made wedding dresses for others, without even getting a single eye? Like a fool without a brain?

Fool!

Dave slowly came back to his senses and thought back to the whole auction process, and that creepy feeling began to come out, and the shiver of being calculated crept up on his spine, all the hairs stood on end, and the tense muscles were making a low, staggered sound, as if they were about to explode at any moment.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound, but it was not really an explosion, but the thunder in his head hit the eardrums, which made Dave wake up suddenly, and all his wandering thoughts were gathered back into his mind, and the focus and focus were refocused, and then he could see Lan Li's slightly worried face appear in front of him, and asked in an inquiring voice, "Dave, are you okay?"

"Good. I am fine. Dave only came to his senses at this point, and he straightened his waist invisibly, and his vision could catch the eyes of the audience.

Very good!

Very good!

Couldn't be better!

Just when he was distracted, Lan Li appeared, and then he became the focus of the audience, his embarrassment and embarrassment were exposed in broad daylight, if Lan Li didn't mean it, he didn't believe it, but what else could he do, except to smile and deal with it calmly?

"Thank you so much for making today's auction so meaningful. Lan Li didn't pursue Dave's distraction, and humbly and politely showed his respect.

There was a slight stiffness in Dave's eyes: the meaning of a million-pound purchase, of course he had to make it worthwhile, "Ha, my pleasure." We all want to do our part for the sake of the children of Africa, don't we? ”

Now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, Dave must show his demeanor and courtesy, otherwise the million may really be wasted.

Dave turned his head to look at Beatrice, and sure enough, he saw Beatrice's slightly flushed cheeks, her eyes and expression couldn't hide her excitement, she snuggled into Dave's arms cutely, "I didn't expect this outcome, but we are all here for the children, so, I think, we are all working hard in our own way." ”

Before Dave had time to be happy, Beatrice changed his words, "It's like a blue gift." The two auction items you prepared today were really amazing, and they made me small in an instant. I really, really, really like your guitar and your sheet music, and that speech was enough to move everybody, right?

"Of course. Sure. "Dave has to clench his fists, or the teeth are going to fight, and he will be revealing his emotions.

In this way, Dave can kill two birds with one stone, not only to contribute to charity, but also to give a gift to his girlfriend. The biggest winner tonight is Dave. Lan Li said with a smile.
