"Hey, they're 25 years old, they're old!"

Sitting on the sofa, Wang Ye shook his head and sighed.

Xue Yiyi sat next to her, and said with a smile: "What is old, only 25 years old, still young." ”

After graduating from college, it has only been more than two years, but Wang Yelao feels as if more than ten years have passed.

Maybe it's because too many things have happened and too many things have happened in the past two years, and the mentality is a little old.

While chatting with Xue Yiyi, Ellie walked over.

"Sir, this is the Christie's Spring Auction Catalogue, and there are two cigars in it, do you think it is necessary to auction them?"

As he spoke, he handed over a thick, beautifully printed picture album.

Wang Ye has been smoking cigars since he quit smoking, and of course, he can't smoke that kind of cheap cigar.

The cigars in his storage room, the cheapest, cost three or four hundred dollars a piece, most of which Elle had searched for in Xiangjiang, and some of them had been sold at various auctions.

"Oh? Christie's is going to auction cigars in the spring auctions, it doesn't seem to be your average product. Wang Ye said with a smile.

Christie's and Sotheby's should be regarded as the two most famous auction houses.

And it's a big event like a spring auction, and being able to put cigars up for auction is certainly not an ordinary thing.

Elle flipped the album directly to the page of the cigar lot and handed it to Wang Ye.

Wang Ye took a look at the introduction, and it was really a good thing!

There are two cigars in the auction.

The first cigar was launched by the Gorkhas.

In the world of cigar brands, the Gurkha is an outlier.

This brand has several features:

In fact, the sales volume is very large, and it is sold on several continents, especially in North America, and the sales volume of Gurkha is very large.

It has a very large product line, so many that there are dozens of limited editions!

And then the limited edition doesn't seem to be said to be limited, but it's generally always available anyway. Like Wang Ye's Floating Dream, it is also a limited edition, with 25,000 boxes per year, and it is gone when it is sold out.

But the limited edition of the Gurkha is different, and I don't know if it's unsalable or whatever, anyway, its limited edition can be bought by anyone, at any time, of course, provided that you have money.

Some products are often launched at a very high price, with a price of several thousand dollars a box, and then a cliff promotion occurs after a short period of sale, and it becomes a box of hundreds of dollars.

Then there is the packaging, there are several cigars in Gurkha that are typically packaged better than cigars, that is, the packaging box is more expensive than the cigar!

In general, the Gurkha gives the impression that marketing is ahead of the product, that is, the cost performance is relatively low.

The Gurkha cigar that appeared at auction was sold for a million dollars a box!

He took a closer look at the product description.

Each box of this cigar is steeped in a full bottle of LOUIS XIII. Carefully cultivated in the thick soil of the Himalayas and watered with Fijian water, the entire cigar is wrapped in gold leaves and set with a total of 5 carats of diamonds in the label's logo.

It's confusing to see if it's a cigar or a diamond.

These cigars are hand-rolled by a team of professionals who are blindfolded throughout the process, allowing their senses to guide their movements

Yes, that's what it says, but what does it mean? Can a group of people roll cigarettes with their eyes closed than they have souls rolled out with their eyes open?

This cigar is said to be purchased anywhere in the world, and it will be delivered by the manufacturer with white gloves.

Kaizad Hansotia, CEO of the Gurkha Cigar Company, said: "Gurkha customers use only the best, and Gurkha only produce the best. This cigar is only for those who want the most exclusive, luxurious, and most show-off that a cigar has to offer. ”

……

Wang Ye couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly after reading it, a box of one million dollars, the box contained 50 cigars, that is, 20,000 dollars each!

At this price, he can't afford it.

This thing was not bought for smoking, but for B!

Looking at the whole introduction, it feels like it's just a gimmick......

After looking at this, let's look at another cigar. This one is much more reliable, Cohiba 50th Anniversary Edition!

Priced at $350,000!

Cohiba, which is the king of cigars in the cigar industry, is recognized as the best cigar in the world, and the quality and price are beyond the reach of ordinary cigars. Wang Ye's most commonly smoked cigar is this brand.

As you can see in the auction brochure, this cigar is not packaged in a simple wooden box, but comes with a small cigar cabinet!

This cigar cabinet is not just the kind used to store cigars, the appearance of the cigar cabinet is imitation of the foliar pattern of Cuban ligero tobacco leaves, and the entire cabinet door is paved with 24K gold "Golden Door", this golden momentum is already very shocking, not to mention that you can also appreciate the fine tobacco leaf lines on it up close.

The interior of the cigar cabinet is constructed with a variety of rare woods such as musk, ebony, cedar and sycamore, and the combination of materials highlights the preciousness of the Cohiba cigars without affecting the aroma of the cigars themselves.

This cigar cabinet is produced by Elie Bleu (based in Paris, specializing in the production of all kinds of fine preservation boxes) and produces only 50 sets.

To make these souvenirs even more special, each cigar cabinet is custom-designed by the customer, with the name and number of the purchaser added to highlight its unique personality and uniqueness.

Each cigar cabinet is equipped with 50 Cohiba 50 Aniversario cigars, the first 60 ring gauge from Habanos. The length of this cigar is almost 18 centimeters......

Five tiers of cigar storage, each with 10 large cigars, takes up half of the cabinet space. The second half is all cigar-related accessories.

Pull open the next drawer and you'll see a handmade carry-on cigar case made from pure leather.

There is also an ashtray made of rare American obsidian, which showcases its exquisite craftsmanship and echoes the proud achievements of Cohiba hand-rolled cigars.

In addition, even the cigar bands have their own lattice, which is extremely exquisite.

It is worth mentioning that this limited-edition cigar cabinet pays homage to the new age of technology and is also equipped with a smart device to track temperature and humidity. Through its exclusive APP, the environment of the cigar cabinet can be known through the handheld device in real time.

……

This is a good thing, Wang Ye can't help but be excited, this is different from the "million-dollar cigar" above, this is a real limited edition, there are only 50 sets in the world!

If you miss it, you really won't be able to do it again.

"Buy this Cohiba 50th Anniversary Limited Edition!" Wang Ye commanded.

Elle nodded, since Wang Ye wanted to buy it, then she would go to the auction and auction this cigar at that time.

Idle and bored, Wang Ye flipped through the other contents of this Christie's spring auction, this kind of large-scale auction, there are usually a lot of good things.

What works of art, porcelain jewelry and the like.

Wang Ye has never participated in this kind of auction before, which is also because he has just risen for a long time, and he is busy with his career all day long, and he does not have so much leisure to enjoy life.

In other words, his taste has not yet been cultivated, and looking at the oil paintings that are often millions or tens of millions, he can't appreciate it.

Flipping through and seeing something, Wang Ye stopped, this thing is a bit interesting......

After looking at it for a long time, Wang Ye felt that he should take a picture of this thing, which seemed to come in handy in the future.

Turning back further, when it came to the last page, it was the finale, and it took two full pages to introduce it, which aroused Wang Ye's interest again.

This is a mid-levels mansion in Hong Kong, located at 22 Pak Ka Road on the Peak, which is a three-storey detached house with a total area of about 1,099 square meters and a panoramic view of Victoria Harbour. In addition, there is a large garden of more than 2,200 square meters, with a small forest and large meadow in the courtyard.

Judging from the exposed pictures, the panoramic sea view of Victoria Harbour seen from the mansion on the top of the hill is indeed beautiful.

The starting price is 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, about 1.3 billion yuan!

After looking at it again and again, Wang Ye finally felt a little too small......

If you go to Xiangjiang to buy a mansion, this kind of house of 1,000 square meters can no longer satisfy the royal industry.

Maybe the villas of those wealthy families can make Wang Ye look at them, but they don't sell them. There are no major problems in the business, who will sell their house.

Therefore, if you really want to buy a property in Mid-Levels, you really need to wait and wait for the opportunity to appear. And with the scarcity of luxury homes there, there may not be a single one to transfer for several years or even more than a decade.

Therefore, this time there is a mansion in Mid-Levels to be transferred, which has become the finale of Christie's Spring Festival auction.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Ye decided to give up. Since you want to buy it, you can buy the best, why do you buy it if you can't buy it.

The money is not spent, but it is not what I like, isn't this spending money to find guilt.

"Ellie, when you are bidding, put on a Bluetooth headset and keep in touch with me, I am interested in buying this lot. ”

Wang Ye called Ellie to his side, flipped to the auction item that had just aroused his interest, and commanded.

Elle glanced at it and nodded her head to indicate that she remembered.

Even Xue Yiyi stretched out her head curiously to take a look, and asked with a smile: "Why are you buying this thing, it's too ostentatious." ”

"Haha, we don't need this, but it's suitable for someone to use, this is a gift I prepared for someone else, and it will definitely bring her a surprise then." Wang Ye explained with a smile.

"This must be a girl. Xue Yiyi said with a smile.

"Don't think crooked, this is a business investment ......"

Xue Yiyi is not jealous, although she likes this thing that Wang Ye wants to shoot, although she likes it when she looks at it, it is obviously not suitable for her, because just like she said, it is too ostentatious!
