Chapter 373: Golden Black Diamond Ancient Ring
Whether Manvis Prussia was right or not, whether he was modest or not, only the person concerned knows. However, Chinese people like the habit of self-depreciation, which is famous in the West, so experts know that Westerners speak to weaken by three points, because they love to boast, if it is a Chinese, then be cautious, he said a little understand, which can be proficient, he said a little bit of fur, de, eight achievements are experts!
For example, Wei Xiu at this time.
Because it's a charity auction, the focus is not on the auction, but on charity, so it doesn't matter what you auction, what matters is how much money you're willing to give.
However, no matter how important the lot is, it is relatively speaking, when there is a rich man, some things really have to be decided by a great man.
For example, now, Sir Sebastian from the United Kingdom, now living in Lower Saxony, Germany, has proudly removed his tail finger and donated the gold and black diamond ring given by Edward III in the Middle Ages to raise funds for auction!
When the waitress in an elegant tuxedo ran over to tell Clyde the news, even Clyde was shocked. For the shallow history of the West, the significance of antiques is simply more precious than that of China, many antiques are registered, but not available!
Clermont looked back at Sir Sebastian, who was gracefully removing the gold ring from his fingertips and placing it on the silver tray brought by the waiter, and then smiled gracefully at Gentleman Clermont, looking so generous and arrogant.
As for how much pain in his heart, I'm afraid only he knows.
Clermont stood up and said loudly: "I have just received the news that dear Sir Sebastian has generously decided to donate the precious Edward III Royal Gold and Black Diamond Ancient Ring for the development of human rights in Europe, what a great mind, let us pay tribute to Sir Sebastian!"
After the words fell, the audience burst into warm applause, and everyone looked at Sir Sebastian with a look of respect, and Sir Sebastian also stood up and bowed gracefully in return.
By this time, the waiter had already walked towards Clermont with a silver tray.
Clermont looked at the ring on the silver tray and said, "I have long heard of Sir Sebastian's gold and black diamond ring, but I don't know much about antique appreciation. But our dear Excellency Manvis Prussia is a master of this way, and if we ask His Excellency Manvis Prussia to explain a thing or two to us?"
Sir Sebastian got this gold and black diamond ring, which is also an anecdote in the circle. Everyone naturally knows a little about this gold and black diamond ancient ring, even if you don't know how to appreciate antiques, you can also use some clichés to say a thing or two.
Therefore, Clermont's words are purely a compliment to Manvis Prussia, and he wants to give this limelight to Manvis Prussia!
No, Manvis Prussia, who heard this, smiled and said: "This is a mistake, when it comes to the line of appreciation, there is a real master here, Clermont, you don't look for a real master but come to me, do you want me to make a fool of yourself?"
Manvis Prussia said this with a smile on his face, and his tone was full of teasing jokes among friends, but these words made Clermont's expression slightly stunned, and he was a little vague whether Manvis Prussia did not like him to do this?
If you think about it, what kind of man was Manvis Prussia? and he was a man with the word "Bavaria" as a suffix, and he cared about the limelight?
Thoughts flashed in his heart, and Clermont deliberately showed a look of surprise and said, "A real master?"
Manvis Prussia stood up and smiled at the audience: "Here, if His Excellency Wei Xiu is a master of treasure appreciation, who would dare to claim to know treasure appreciation?"
Manvis Prussia's words stunned many at the scene, and then Manvis Prussia was heard to continue: "As a private museum, I have to be ashamed of the richness of his collection. Who better here than the man who has dug up the tomb of the Emperor of Hell with his own hands to explain to us this medieval gold, black diamond ring?
In other words, Sir Sebastian, who donated the ancient ring of medieval gold and black diamonds, looks like an outsider. At this time, I suddenly heard Manvis Prussia mention his name, and suddenly shouted in surprise in my heart, this ring is really not wrong, what I want is this effect, even if I can't get Clermont's favor, as long as I can leave an impression in Manvis Prussia's heart, it will be worth it to him.
"Of course, His Excellency Manvis Prussia has a very good point. "Sir Sebastian tried to maintain his reserved demeanor.
Manvisprussia glanced at Clermont, who laughed and said, "It's because I have no eyes, I wonder if Your Excellency Wei Xiu can appreciate it for us?"
Hearing the untraceable compliment of the word "authority", Wei Xiu glanced at Manvis Prussia, not surprised in his heart, but a little strange why Manvis Prussia gave him the limelight?
Is it a gesture of goodwill for the things mentioned earlier?
Today's Weixiu, although its power and financial resources, have been among the top of the pyramid in China, and it is naturally not bad in Europe, but its influence has not yet been spread, but this is only relatively speaking, how huge the exploration of energy companies is now, and how many people are affected is that any European government cannot ignore.
So Wei Xiu doesn't care about this kind of showmanship, unless it is necessary.
Wei Xiu thought for a while, stood up and said, "Since Your Excellency Manvis has said so, if I refuse, this will not give His Excellency Manvis face." ”
Wei Xiu's subconscious meaning is obviously to say again, to make me speak, this is for the sake of the face of Manvis Prussia.
At this time, the waiter had already cleverly brought over the silver tray and placed it in Wei Xiu's hand.
Wei Xiu casually picked up the ring on the tray and placed it horizontally in front of him for observation, and his eyebrows suddenly raised, because he found that this ring was actually a "palace fighting ring", which means that there was a hidden mechanism in this seemingly small ring!!
This is a pure gold ring, and the purity of gold is more than 91%, which is quite rare in the European smelting process at that time.
The width of the ring is about 2~3 mm, the average is about 2.36 mm, and the side of the ring is pressed with a large number of irregular geometric figures, I don't know if it was added later, at least in Wei Xiu's opinion, these marks are too new.
The yellow gold and black diamond ring is set with a 7-carat mysterious black diamond, surrounded by rose petals, which looks extravagant. In Wei Xiu's field of vision, all of these extravagant decorations are hollow, and it is conceivable that this seemingly insignificant hollow is enough to hold the highly poisonous powder that poisons elephants.
And the place where the mechanism is activated, it is the black diamond full of temptation on the ring face.
