……

Sotheby's headquarters in the U.S. is located in New York, but has established a branch in Los Angeles.

When Henry and Karina arrived at Sotheby's, it was nearly eight o'clock. After entering Sotheby's, the staff knew Henry, first asked him if he needed a separate box, and after getting Henry's affirmative answer, they took him and Karina directly to the best box at K001!

"Mr. Williams, please wait a moment, the auction is about to begin. There is an LCD TV here, so you can watch the auction from the whole time! If you like an auction item, you can pick up the special remote control on the table and press the button to bid out!"

"Well, I see!" Henry nodded.

"If it's all right, then I'll go out first!" said the staff, "I wish Mr. Williams and Miss Karina the good luck at auction!"

"Thank you......"

……

At this time, the auction hall is completely different from the private room, the box is quiet and elegant, but the hall is bustling.

"Did you hear that? Sotheby's is going to auction a bottle of wine worth a fortune!"

"I've also heard that, according to Sotheby's, this bottle is going to be the most expensive ever made!"

"Do you know how much that bottle of wine is for the auction?"

"How can I know that! Sotheby's auction house will definitely not reveal it, and they are still counting on hanging people's appetites!!"

"Hehe, that's ...... too"

After a while, the auctioneer from Sotheby's walked up to the stage and immediately announced that the auction had officially begun.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

The first auction was a mansion with a starting bid of $10 million!

Karina couldn't help but sigh: "Well, the first auction item is a mansion worth tens of millions of dollars!!"

Henry said with a smile: "Sotheby's is a world-famous auction house, and rich big customers who want to consign their things usually come to them! In fact, 10 million US dollars is not much, and they have also auctioned hundreds of millions of dollars!"

At this time, the auctioneer introduced to everyone: "The original owner of this villa was Wilson, a famous real estate tycoon in California. But because the company is not doing well, and now it is in urgent need of capital turnover, so we are entrusted with the auction of his villa!"

"This villa, also known as 'Free City', is based on streamlined lines. Emphasizing freedom, it was designed by the famous American architect Brown Christopher Lobin. You know, this villa is located on the coast of San Diego, California, in the mild climate of the United States, and the house is built on a hill with a land area of 1021 square meters. The overall structure is divided into two floors, including a helipad, freshwater swimming pool, tennis courts, golf courses and many other luxury facilities, and the high-tech configuration in the house is readily available, its real value is far more than 10 million US dollars!

As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, a man shouted, "Ten million dollars!!"

"Eleven million!"

"Eleven and a half million!"

"Eleven seven thousand!"

"Twelve million!"

Henry looked carefully at the photos of the villa, and it felt familiar, and it suddenly thought. Isn't this the super villa of the rich second generation of the male protagonist in the later movie "Iron Man"? Damn, such a bombing villa, let's buy it, it is said that after the movie "Iron Man" was screened, the house suddenly appreciated to more than 25 million US dollars!

"Henry, do you want to buy it too?" Karina asked when she saw Henry's surprised expression.

Henry smiled, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile, "Liberty City is a nice name, isn't it?"

Henry placed the wine glass on the table. He said to Karina: "When we go on vacation to the coast of Santiago Breck, we can live there! If you look at the photo above, you will know that this house faces the sea." The sea view is very beautiful!"

"Well, yes, it's very beautiful!" Karina looked at the picture of the sea that was shown on the photo, it was really beautiful!!

Henry smiled faintly: "Then buy it!!"

Immediately, Henry picked up the remote control and entered the buttons. Bid "15 million dollars"!

At this time, the bidding board on the LCD screen in the hall suddenly displayed a "fifteen million dollars", and the auctioneer said loudly: "The guests of box K001 bid fifteen million dollars!

After the asking price of the villa reached 12 million dollars, it was all increased little by little. The sudden popping up of fifteen million dollars is surprising!

Fifteen million dollars may have exceeded the value of this villa, and everyone hesitated, but no one continued to bid. After a minute, the auctioneer announced, "Since there is no one to bid, then I declare that the City of Liberty will belong to the guests of box K001!!"

After the end of the first auction, Henry was not very interested in the next few auction items, all of them were some foreigners' paintings, what impressionists, masterpieces of hazy painters, Henry couldn't understand, the paintings looked like something, purely graffiti, and the special ones were still sold for thieves!!

Henry shook his head speechlessly.

Karina was on the side, and said with a smile: "Giggles, you rich man just lacks artistic cells, others are art, understand? I don't understand, and I still say that others are graffiti!"

Henry smiled and did not refute, he really had no interest in these paintings in Europe and the United States, even if Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" was placed in front of him, he couldn't understand it. Of course, if Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" were to be auctioned now, Henry would definitely have to buy it to improve his style!!

Hanging "Sunflowers" in the office, it seems to be quite face-saving, others walk in and take a look, oops, awesome, Van Gogh's real work "Sunflowers", hundreds of millions of dollars, it's really rich!! the other party is already shocked without Henry speaking......

After waiting for a long time, it was the turn of the auction of "Williams I" wine.

Henry smiled at Karina and asked, "Guess how much it will cost this time?"

Karina quipped, "Hehe, what fool would buy it if you sell it for two million dollars for so much?!!"

Henry said hatefully: "If they don't buy it, I'll take it myself!"

When Karina heard this, she burst out laughing, "I see, you must have bought it yourself!!"

At this time, the auctioneer put the "Williams I" red wine on the stand and said: "Guys, this is the most expensive wine ever auctioned by Sotheby's, the 'Williams I' wine!!!!"

After "Williams I" revealed the true face of Lushan, everyone was stunned,, what kind of wine is this, so awesome, the bottle is white gold, inlaid with real diamonds?!!!

At this time, the auctioneer continued: "This wine is produced by the winery of the world's billionaire Henry Williams, there are less than 100 bottles in the world!! the wine that Mr. Henry Williams drinks on a daily basis is 'Williams I', if you want to experience the life of a billionaire, then hurry up and ask for a price!!!!!
