Text Chapter 297 The bidding is fierce

As soon as the third lot was revealed, Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift's eyes lit up.

To be precise, this is not a piece of jewelry, but a set, a pair of earrings, a necklace, and a cross pendant under the necklace, which is inlaid with a large number of emeralds and sapphires and spinels, which looks very luxurious.

Sure enough, the auction of this set of jewelry turned into a two-person competition between Kim Kardashian and Taylor, and in the end, Taylor, who won 170 million meters of gold last year, came out on top and bought this set of jewelry at a price of 22 million meters of gold. After the auction, Taylor beamed with joy and Kim Kardashian stretched her face. Xiao Peng。。。。。。 Why do you just want to slap yourself twice and let the two of them sit with you? Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?

The next three lots are Xiao Peng's self-made jadeite products. They are a necklace with red jade beads, a necklace with imperial green beads, and a large red jade plaque.

Perhaps stimulated by the previous few pieces of jewelry, or the guests of this auction are all wealthy, the price of the three jadeite products has exceeded 13 million, among which the imperial green jadeite bead necklace has broken the original auction record of Chinese jadeite jewelry, and the sky-high price of 21 million meters of gold has been auctioned. The person who took the picture was none other than Kim Kardashian.

This time Kim Kardashian is not competing with Taylor, Taylor doesn't seem to be interested in jade, Kim Kardashian is competing with a local Chinese tycoon, and in the end Kim Kardashian won.

Looking at Kim Kardashian's expression, Xiao Peng could already think that the headlines of the media in China and Milan tomorrow would definitely have reports such as "Kim Kardashian auctioned luxury jewelry at a sky-high price" and "Kim Kardashian won the local rich in China".

Ordinary auctions do not publish buyer information, for the sake of privacy and buyer safety. But Kim Kardashian will not let go of any opportunity to be exposed, and will not take this opportunity to give herself publicity? Xiao Peng does not believe that Kim Kardashian will let go of such an opportunity for publicity.

After all, when it comes to hype, the Kardashian family says that they are second, and there are really few people who dare to say that they are first.

The next three lots are: an emerald bracelet with square emeralds of the same size side by side and linked together in a gold frame, a custom gold bracelet with a yellow gold couple's head, and a pair of exaggerated earrings made of giant opal and small sapphire rubies.

The emerald bracelet was photographed by an English aristocrat, while the earrings ended up in the hands of a wealthy Russian man, and the gold couple bracelet became the subject of contention among representatives of several museums. In the end, the Istanbul History Museum also vomited blood and auctioned the couple's bracelets at a high price of 70 million meters of gold.

It's understandable to think about it, Istanbul was, after all, the capital of the original Byzantine Empire. How could such a well-preserved and precious treasure of the Byzantine period fall into the hands of someone else?

With the auction of this pair of bracelets, the total amount of this auction has officially exceeded 200 million.

Guo Sihua was already dancing excitedly in the background, and at first he expected that the auction would be more than 100 million points, and now it would exceed 200 million! Don't forget that the three lots that are the highlight of this auction have not yet been auctioned. The total amount of this auction is calculated like this, and it is possible to reach 400 million!

In this way, Longsheng Auction can make a lot of money just by commissioning, and it is conceivable that after this auction, Longsheng Auction will definitely have a higher status in the world auction industry.

Thinking of this, how could Guo Sihua not be excited? He looked at Xiao Peng in the background, eager to pick up Xiao Peng and kiss him desperately! These are all miracles brought by Xiao Peng.

Before the auction of the last three major events begins, there will be a 30-minute break to give the auction brokers time to contact the buyers behind them and report on the progress of the auction. Xiao Peng and Eminem went to the lounge to smoke.

"Excuse me, is it Mr. Xiao?" Xiao Peng had just lit a cigarette when someone called him.

Xiao Peng looked at it and didn't know who came. So he frowned and asked, "Are you?"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Hammit Kakhovich. I am a staff member of the Istanbul History Museum. The visitor introduced himself.

Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "Oh, congratulations on taking that pair of bracelets first." Is there anything you're looking for me?"

Hammit said without hesitation: "I hope that Mr. Xiao can cancel the auction of the Caligula ring and sell it to us privately, of course, we will also give Mr. Xiao 20 million meters of gold as compensation, and at the same time, Mr. Xiao will gain the friendship of our Turkish people." ”

When Xiao Peng heard this, he laughed happily, and Hammit also laughed when he saw that there was a play.

Xiao Peng suddenly stopped smiling: "I'm sorry, I refuse." ”

20 million meters of gold is really a lot, but compared to the value of this ring, it is too low. What the hell is the friendship of the people of Turkey? Why didn't you say this when you stopped our Huaxia aircraft carrier and refused to let us go? How much money did you ask for when you stopped our Huaxia aircraft carrier? Do you really think that the Chinese people are easy to bully!

As soon as Xiao Peng refused, he heard applause behind him: "Mr. Xiao, I have to say that you have made a wise decision." ”

Who is this? Xiao Peng looked back, and a crooked nut with no age standing behind him. He was already covered with gray hair, but he was old, and his spirit was great.

The visitor smiled slightly: "Hello, Mr. Xiao, I am Álvaro, the director of the Milan Museum. Thank you very much for putting such a precious artifact up for auction. There are many things in it that can fill in the gaps in world history. ”

Xiao Peng thought for a moment: "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Alvaro doesn't seem to have won any of the lots, right?"

Álvaro nodded, "Yes, because my goal is behind." ”

"Let me guess, you're also interested in Caligula's ring, right?" Xiao Peng asked.

Álvaro did not deny it: "Yes, Caligula was one of the kings of the Roman Empire after all, and after he was killed, the whereabouts of his ring are unknown, and we have only seen a pattern in the history books." The reappearance of this ring is an important evidence of our search for historical truth. ”

Hammit glared at Álvaro: "The legacy of the Roman Empire does not belong to you poor creatures who have survived less than two hundred years. ”

Álvaro smiled: "That's much better than falling into the hands of the barbarian Turks." ”

Hammit snorted coldly, "Isn't it for us in the Byzantine Empire to clean up the mess for you, and take back the glory you lost?"

Álvaro spread his hands: "In the end, he was driven back by the Lombards?

Although the two were arguing, Xiao Peng understood what was going on.

In 286 AD, the powerful Roman Empire was divided into two parts, the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire, which became the future Byzantine Empire, and the Western Roman Empire fell in 476 AD. It has only survived for 200 years.

Later, the Eastern Roman Empire wanted to recover those areas occupied by foreign peoples, and Belisarius under the command of Justinian I directly recovered North Africa, Italy, and the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula, but unfortunately, as soon as Justinian died, Italy was captured by the Lombards.

But whether it is the Western Roman Empire or the Eastern Roman Empire, they are all extended from the Roman Empire, such a treasure of historical value as Caligula's ring, who doesn't want to stay in their own country? This is not like the pair of bracelets, which are products of the Byzantine period, and the Milan Museum can not be robbed, and it is not cost-effective to be too high. But this ancestor's ring, they won't let it go.

Xiao Peng didn't want to accompany them to continue arguing: "Two distinguished guests, you see, this auction is about to start, and it's too late for me to withdraw the lot, why don't you two compete in the auction room?"

Hammett had just photographed a pair of Byzantine bracelets, and he must have been nervous financially if he paid a high price, so he hurriedly took out his phone and reported the situation to China.

After Xiao Peng said goodbye to the two, he walked back to the venue with Eminem.

Eminem was so excited that he couldn't do it, he kept muttering something in his mouth, seeing Xiao Peng looking at himself, Eminem said with a smile: "Sure enough, you have to go out and take a look, this auction is simply too fun, one by one the capital predators are fighting wits and courage here, like greedy sharks biting each other, I have decided, I will use this as the theme in the next song! This is simply too interesting." ”

Seeing Eminem's happy appearance, Xiao Peng was also happy. Thinking of Eminem's new song, Xiao Peng is also looking forward to it.

Not long after the two sat down, the highlight of the auction began.

Johnny, the auctioneer, walked back to the center of the booth and introduced with a serious expression: "As we all know, sapphire is one of the five major gemstones in the world and is a precious colored gemstone. Although there is only a unified sapphire grading system in the world, it is generally divided from five aspects: color, clarity, weight, cutting and treatment. ”

"Due to the complex color of sapphire, it is difficult to decide which color saturation or hue of sapphire is better, so in the sapphire grading system, according to the different colors, it is divided into seven shades such as bright blue, bright blue, and royal blue, but the highest grade and best are always bright blue sapphires. And the flawless bright blue sapphire with no impurities under the naked eye is rare in the world. And the sapphire we are now putting up for auction is named 'Blue Cat' by its owner. It is the most perfect of all sapphires: a 538-carat cushion-shaped sapphire with a bright blue color, flawless clarity and no heat treatment. I dare to say that in this world, it is almost impossible to find another sapphire that can be comparable! You must know that even the 'Asian Blue Beauty', which has set a world sapphire auction record, is more than 100 carats lighter than this sapphire, and the color cannot be hit by the bright blue grade, but can only be hit by the bright blue grade! Now, this sapphire that is unique in the world is put up for auction, and I don't know who will be the lucky one to own it! The starting price is 18 million, please bid enthusiastically. ”
