Luxury cars were parked in front of the company, and well-dressed guests entered the company's door, and the hall was soon filled with people, men and women, old and young, all of whom were rich and noble in high society, they were talking, pointing, and their eyes were all attracted by the exhibits in the hall.

In fact, at the beginning, they only came for the purpose of cheering for their friends, after all, Monica and Rossi are extraordinary, connecting the British royal family on one end and the mysterious and powerful Fendini family on the other, but only now do they realize that the exhibits on display by this auction company that have never heard of the name before are all rare treasures.
The earliest gold coins, ancient books from more than 1,000 years ago, the queen's crown, the emperor's scepter, and paintings by masters such as Van Gogh and Monet...... Usually rare treasures, but today dozens of pieces appeared at once, filling the entire hall, making people overwhelmed, I can't wait to have a few more eyes, because two eyes really can't see it.
"Monica, you're telling me the truth. Julia approached Monica and asked in a whisper, "Is this auction house yours or your friend's?" β
"Didn't I tell you? Monica smiled and said, "Well, it's not bad." β
"It's not bad, it's shocking, you Fendini family really didn't have a share, otherwise why did you work so hard to promote him and invite so many celebrities?" Julia asked curiously, turning around, and shocked, as the man said, not only did not disappoint her, but was full of surprises everywhere.
"Is it necessary for me to deceive you with my previous relationship? He is a good friend of mine, not only helped me, but also saved my life, and his company is going to set up a branch in Europe, and it is in England, how can I not help?" Monica explained, her face full of sincerity.
Julia nodded, although she felt that the other party's explanation was a bit far-fetched, but she still believed it, and whispered into Monica's ear, "Monica, since you are good friends with him, can you tell him that I have taken a fancy to that Monet's painting, can you communicate with the seller and sell that painting to me? Money is not a problem." β
If you can buy it privately, no one will like the auction, not only will there be too many competitors, but the price will soar to the limit.
"No problem, I'll ask for you......" Monica said when she heard it.
"That's not going to work. Monica was about to stop Julia from leaving, but was blocked by a middle-aged man, who was in a black suit, with a bow tie around his neck, combed his back hair, and a mustache, with a rich body and a bulging belly.
"What did you say, Sir Evan?" asked Julia, looking at the middle-aged man.
Monica invited, most of them are people from the British upper class, and it is very normal to know each other, in fact, many people come by themselves, but after arriving here, they find that the hall is full of acquaintances, and it feels like a big gathering of high society.
"Hey, Julia, actually, I also took a fancy to that Monet's painting and was going to buy it for collection. Sir Evan said with a smile.
"What?" Julia frowned slightly, Monet's paintings were not many in the first place, and they have rarely appeared in recent years, and now there is a sudden one, and it is a new painting that has never been seen before, who doesn't want to take it for themselves?" "Sir Evan, eavesdropping on a lady is not a gentleman's act, and as far as I know, you already have a collection of Monet's paintings, why don't you give me this one?"
Julia discussed, firstly, Sir Evan was her elder, and secondly, the other party's wealth was no less than her family, and the two families still had some business dealings, even if they knew that they were competitors, they could not turn their faces, and they could not do anything that was impolite and embarrassing to the family.
"Who doesn't know that I like Monet's paintings? My goal is to collect all Monet's paintings, so I won't let go of this one. Sir Evan said, looking determined to win, and did not compromise because Julia was a woman, gentlemanly demeanor is in normal times, and no one will talk about it at critical moments.
"Since we both like it, let's play fair. Julia said that the last thing she wanted to see had happened, and now that someone was competing with her, her odds of getting it were cut in half in an instant.
Julia unconsciously looked at Monica beside her, if only the other party had revealed the news to her earlier, so that she could take it for herself.
In fact, she really misunderstood Monica, Monica really didn't know that Li Dacheng had so many treasures before, and she only found out after coming here today, and she was also shocked.
Sir Evan shook his head when he heard Julia's words.
"Sir Evan, what are you?" asked Julia with a calm face.
"Julia, you misunderstood me. Sir Evan shook his head with a smile, then glanced at the people around him, and continued, "I'm afraid it's not just the two of us who have taken a fancy to this painting, in other words, it's not a fair competition between the two of us, it's a competition between all of us." β
Julia looked around, and sure enough, when they looked at Monet's painting, their eyes were shining, and many people were also whispering, and some even took out their mobile phones to inform others of the matter and discuss the purchase.
Yes!
Julia touched her head with her hand, and it was not as simple as she imagined, what were the exhibitions for, wasn't it just to attract attention and get a higher price? Not to mention that it was Monet's painting, if it could be bought casually, it might not be so valuable.
In a word, she is too naΓ―ve, such a good baby, it can be called a rare treasure, no one wants it, then hell.
No, there's Monica!
Julia decisively took Monica aside, left the hall, found a place where there was no one, looked at Monica with a pleading face and said, "Monica, are we good friends?"
"Yes. Monica said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, we're still relatives, right?"
"Yes, that's right. β
"Then I beg you for one thing, you must help me, that is Monet's painting, I must get it, can you help me talk about it?" Julia grabbed Monica's hand tightly, there was no way, she could only knock the idea down Monica's body again.
"I just agreed. β
"Great!" Julia happily hugged Monica tightly.
"It's just that whether people sell it or not, it's not up to me to decide. β
ββ¦β¦β
Julia's smile immediately stiffened on her face, she looked for Monica, just hoping that the other party could help her get the painting, if she couldn't get it, she wasn't sure, then what was the point of her looking for the other party?
"Monica, so you're here, so I'm looking for it. A wealthy middle-aged woman walked briskly up to Monica.
"Lady Chloe, what's wrong with you?" asked Monica, smiling.
"Monica, you must know the owner of this auction house, right? I have a fancy for a painting, can you help me ask the owner. The middle-aged woman said anxiously.
"Okay, I wonder which one Madame Chloe has her eye on?"
"Monet!"
"Uh......"
Monica turned to look at Julia beside her, and the two of them smiled wryly after a moment of shock.
"Hey, Jack, how is it, is there any artwork you like?" Rosie came to Jack's side after greeting a few friends, and put his arm around each other's shoulders, very affectionate.
Jack, who was talking to a few people next to him, stiffened the expression on his face after hearing Rossi's words, and then said with a smile, "Today's artwork is good, but it doesn't have anything I like." β
"Jack, you're too high-minded. A person next to him exclaimed after hearing this, "Today's art exhibition should be the highest standard exhibition in the world in recent years, Van Gogh, Monet, crowns, scepters, even these you can't look down on?"
"Yes, especially the crown, which is set with a lot of jewels, more luxurious and gorgeous than the queen's crown. Another said.
Jack admits that the crown is indeed very good, all the art on display today is very good, he also wants to buy it, he wants to keep all the art here for himself, but, he is shy in his pocket, now think about the words of the auction house owner, well, one or two million really can't buy anything here, not even a fraction is enough.
"Jack!" was thinking about it, when a voice sounded from behind him, Jack was slightly stunned, his brows trembled, the person he least wanted to see came.
Li Dacheng joined this small circle, if everyone was still disdainful of the owner of this little-known small auction house before, now they are full of curiosity and friendship with this mysterious boss.
It's very simple, strength is absolutely everything, if you have strength, everyone will respect you, if you don't have strength, no one cares about you, and they won't let you enter this circle, your identity is not good, and your level is not enough.
But the exhibits on display here today speak for themselves, and although the auction company is only a place to help people auction art, why are some auction companies able to come up with precious works of art, while others can only come up with some small items? This is a manifestation of strength.
Art is usually collected by the wealthy, and the higher the rank of the artwork, the higher the status of the collector, and the royal family can take out a knife and fork, but the beggar can never take out the crown, although there are exceptions, but this is rare.
And it is definitely not an easy task to persuade these noble people to take out the treasures that have been treasured for a long time for auction, even if they are relatives, I am afraid they can't do it, but the owner of this auction house has done it, this is the strength, this is the capital, this is the admission ticket to this circle.
"Mr. Jack, can today's exhibition still be in your eyes?" Li Dacheng said with a smile, nodding to a few people around him, and those people also nodded in favor.
A person's origin cannot be changed, but strength can change everything.
"Well, it's okay. Jack said, twitching his lips.
"Well, I knew that Mr. Jack had a high eye, and he might not be able to look down on my artwork here. Li Dacheng looked at Jack and said, "However, I have to sincerely apologize to Mr. Jack." β
"Oh, why?" Rosie asked puzzledly, was it to apologize for the attitude when they met for the first time? No, how long have you known each other, he still knows this man's temper very well, the other party is not that kind of person at all, not to mention, the other party never realized that it was wrong, how could he apologize?
Not only Rosie, but even the other people around him were also aroused, could it be that Jack and this Boss Li knew each other before?
Jack was also a little confused, apologize, why apologize?
Li Dacheng smiled, and after seeing that he had attracted enough curiosity from everyone, he said slowly, "That's the case, Mr. Jack told me before, today I prepared one or two million to come here to buy, buy, buy, and everyone has also seen that today's exhibits are really not so cheap artworks, I am afraid that Mr. Jack was disappointed and returned, as the boss of the company, he actually disappointed the visitors to leave, you say, should I apologize?"
ββ¦β¦β
Everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at Jack, where is this apology, it is clearly sarcastic.
When Jack heard this, his face turned green all of a sudden, knowing that the other party was hostile to him, but he didn't expect the other party to give him so much face, mocking him in front of so many people, and not taking him in his eyes at all.
He stared at the man beside him angrily, gritted his teeth in his mouth, and resented the other party to the extreme, you dare to be so arrogant as an outsider, don't think that there is anything great with the support of the Fendini family, this is the United Kingdom, not your China.
"Haha, yes. Rosie said with a smile, reaching out and patting Jack's shoulder, "Since you can't buy anything here, why don't we go to the party together at night, two million is enough." β
"Well, that's a good idea, I'll go out of the plane and the yacht. Li Dacheng said, although he didn't go, but he could help Jack spend money, he believed that two million pounds was not a small amount even for these families of the upper nobles, he wanted to see the other party's distressed look, and said and made up for it, "I just don't know if Mr. Jack is willing to spend that little money." β
"Okay, it's just that there is no arrangement tonight!"
"Well, I don't have anything to do tomorrow, and I can party all night today. Everyone looked at Jack, who had not spoken.
Come out to mix, it's all about face, not to mention that everyone is an upper-class aristocrat, if you are underestimated because of money, it is really too faceless, and you won't lose your face to the Pacific Ocean when it is passed out?
"Isn't it two million? No problem. Jack puffed up his chest and said, but Li Dacheng saw that the other party's mouth was twitching, and he thought it was painful.
Let the girl pretend!
