"103" Holy Trinity Church Auction! (7)

If there are only five people at their table, and no one around them is approaching, which is quite an acceptable range, then there are only tables around them that are less than five meters apart, and no one is close to this situation, then it is really, it has to make people feel extremely strange, isn't it?

In fact, it is not that those who want to climb the ladder are unwilling to come forward and seize this opportunity; It's not that they really change their ways, and no longer remember those vanity, vanity, or noble virtues; Instead, they had to stay away from afar, because the coercion of the five of them together was too strong, not to mention that they came forward to talk to them at the same table, even if they were within five meters of them, it was not something that ordinary people could bear, so there would be such a scene on the field, and there was nothing strange to think about.

As the superiors, everyone is undoubtedly very punctual, which is very important for everyone here, maybe a little in advance, but at the time of the official start of the auction, everyone has been quietly seated, without exception, even if they are sitting together feuds, they will temporarily put aside their personal grievances and wait quietly for the auction to end, this is their cultivation, but also their purpose.

Cultivation doesn't need to talk about much, the so-called cultivation, to put it bluntly, isn't it the image of Xiàn in front of everyone? Who of you doesn't teach how to deal with surface work as a very important lesson?

As for the so-called purpose mentioned, it is just because many of the things auctioned by the Holy Trinity Church auction are rare treasures, and they don't want to, because of their impulsiveness, and they miss the opportunity to get the treasures, which is really worth the loss.

When Ouyang Xiasha and Bei Chen were biting their ears in a whisper, when Ouyang Xiasha couldn't stand the three scorching eyes on the other side, the auction of the Holy Trinity Church finally officially began.

The Holy Trinity Church auction is not simply located in, or limited to, the auction of artworks, as long as you can think of luxury goods, expensive items, you may be able to come across here, especially this auction, which is said to be the most extravagant and expensive auction in the history of the Holy Trinity Church auction.

No, the first lot to be auctioned was a lot of land on the outskirts of Norma. Don't underestimate this piece of land, let alone despise it because it's located on the outskirts of the city, you know, on top of this land, there is a large manor on top of this location, and this manor is not the unique dream manor built by Louis XVI of Bourbon in Norma before the Revolution?

After all, in Norma, a place where every inch of land is gold, that is, the land in the suburbs, the price is so high that ordinary people cannot accept, not to mention that it is still such a land with a superior location, and the price can be imagined. According to Beichen's news, Ouyang Xiasha learned that today, many people are here for it.

Generally, the order of auction items is arranged according to the level of value, and the more expensive it is, the more expensive it is, for this, everyone present is not low, and it is not once or twice to participate in auctions like this, so they are clear about such an arrangement in their hearts.

And it is precisely because of the clear understanding that it makes them more excited and nervous, and the excitement is the expectation of the auction items behind, after all, such a dream manor that is unique in the world is actually ranked first, and the value of the auction items behind it can be imagined, just thinking about it is enough for them to be excited; As for the nervousness, I am worried that my financial resources are not enough, so I can only be a running companion once to satisfy my eyesight.

Therefore, this auction, from the very beginning, from the beginning of this first fantasy manor, was quickly heated up, and the price continued to rise, which made people tremble, but several powerful people who made up their minds to win this land still bit the bullet and refused to give up.

Because Ouyang Xiasha has no interest in this piece of land, she thinks that spending such a sky-high price to buy a dead man's mansion, to buy an old relic mansion that has passed hundreds of years, or the only unfortunate relic mansion of the king in the world who has been executed, it is either too much to eat, or idle panic, anyway, she will not be tempted to die, and she will not regard money as dung so much, so they will simply Beichen and they are watching this competition as if they were watching the excitement.

Seeing that they kept raising the price without blinking their eyes, and the price had reached an extremely high level, Ouyang Xiasha couldn't help but sigh, 'A bunch of stupid hats'.

Finally, in Ouyang Xiasha's infinite contempt, feeling that this was a feast of a group of silly hats, and in the infinite sense, the first lot fell under the hammer, and finally this piece of land was sold by a certain French nobleman with 1. The price of 900 million meters will be in the pocket.

Although the price is high and scary, but looking at the expression of this nobleman, the beauty and smile, there is absolutely no meaning of suffering a big loss, it seems that even this price is still worth it for him. Ouyang Xiasha sighed slightly, and sighed a little, "Sure enough, there is still a big difference in the values between people, like she is used to being a businessman, in business, she definitely doesn't want to suffer losses, and like that nobleman, what she cares about is more about her own preferences, for her own favor, what about spending a lot of money?" ’。

However, the house is a house after all, because of the disrepair in recent years, and the many reasons for improper preservation, the estate, except for the name of Louis XVI, does not show the prosperity and fantasy of the year at all, so the final transaction price, although it is a bit exaggerated, but strictly speaking, its price is still lower than its name.

As for the auction house, they also have no way to lower the starting price, the reason is also very simple, if there is no large-scale maintenance, this manor may not be as valuable as an ordinary manor, and large-scale maintenance, the money and energy to be consumed, but it is exaggerated and stunned, instead of maintaining for a long time, next year can only sell a guaranteed price, but lower the price, this year to make such a profit.

Therefore, the second auction item that appeared next, even if it was just a painting, was indeed worth more than Louis XVI's Neverland. This painting is considered by art critics around the world to be the pioneer of modern art in the West, and the artistic value of his work has long been recognized by art history, Paul Cézanne.

Paul Cézanne (1839-1906), a famous French painter, is the main general of late Impressionism, from the end of the 19th century has been admired as the "father of new art", as a pioneer of modern art, Western modern painters called him "the father of modern art", "the father of modeling" or "the father of modern painting". His pursuit of a sense of volume and expression of objects opened up ideas for "Cubism"; He attaches great importance to the authenticity of color vision, and his uniqueness of observing natural colors "objectively" is very different from that of previous painters who "rationally" or "subjectively" observed natural colors.

Ouyang Xiasha not only knows a little about his author, Paul Cézanne, but she doesn't really understand the style of this painting, and she doesn't understand why its starting price is much higher than the previous Dream Manor. As the saying goes, food, clothing, housing and transportation are an indispensable part of people's lives, no matter what, that dream manor, good or bad has something to do with living, and this painting, even if it is a real thing, what else can it do in addition to looking at it and watching it?

All right! Although, most of the people sitting here are well-born aristocrats, in addition to having a good family education and cultivation, they also have extraordinary connotations, but Ouyang Xiasha doesn't think that they will be willing to spend a sky-high price to buy something that they don't have very much, because, their identity, in addition to being a member of everyone's aristocracy, also has an excellent and successful businessman, and an excellent and successful businessman is absolutely disregarding their interests.

However, it turns out that Ouyang Xiasha's idea is also wrong, because in recent years, in the international auction market, Impressionist artworks have become more and more popular, and the price has been rising, which has been recognized by many international collectors, and Cézanne's paintings, as the main general of Impressionism, are even hotter. With this gimmick of the Impressionist master, the starting price of this painting will naturally not be low, and the final transaction price can also be imagined.

Eventually, Cézanne's paintings ended with more than 2. The price of 500 million US dollars was sold privately, setting a world record for the transaction price of a single artwork. The buyer of this deal is the Qatari royal family, which has been quite active in the art market recently.

The lots passed all the way, one was more luxurious than the other, one was more dazzling than the other, and in a blink of an eye, it was the fifth piece, and when Ouyang Xiasha looked at the introduction of the brochure distributed by the auction, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the whole person exuded joy, and then she smiled slightly, raised her head, and looked at the stage expectantly!

What Ouyang Xiasha didn't know was that when she looked at the auction table with joy on her face, the four men around her were all looking at her intently, as the so-called 'you stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs, the bright moon decorates your window, you decorate other people's dreams', that's probably what it means!

At this moment, the fifth lot on the stage has been brought out, and under the illumination of the light, this lot shows its incomparable beauty.

It's a combination of a scepter and a necklace, and the scepter is like an ordinary scepter, a power made of gold, which looks ordinary, but you can't ignore it, because it's covered in jewels, rubies, emeralds...... And the most dazzling of them is the one that weighs 530. 02 carats, in the shape of a droplet, is known as the 'Star of Africa I.' oversized diamond, and it is this oversized diamond that is enough to establish its value.

The necklace that matches it next to it is a full diamond necklace, as small as a hook, as large as the chain of the necklace, all of which are made up of whole diamonds of different sizes, and its biggest highlight is not the diamonds used to accompany it, but its pendant, a weight of 54 carats, surrounded by many one-carat white diamonds, the peach heart-shaped cornflower sapphire, and this cornflower sapphire is unique in the world, known as the diamond of bad luck 'hope'. It's very simple, low-key and luxurious, even in the dark, it shines like a star! Under the light, it is even more shining and dazzling! As long as you're a woman, you can't help but want to have her.

"Cornflower" sapphire has always been known as the king of sapphires. It has a hazy and purple hue of intense blue, and gives people a velvety unique texture and appearance, "cornflower" blue color is pure and vivid, elegant and noble, is a rare sapphire variety.

What is even more rare is that "cornflower" is produced in the Kashmir region of the world-famous Himalayas, the world's highest peak at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, where it is snow-capped all year round and extremely difficult to mine. Mining began in the mid-19th century and ceased altogether by the early 20th century. The extremely rare production makes each gemstone precious, and the top "cornflower" is now the most stalked sapphire at auction. Cornflower sapphire is a sapphire produced in Kashmir, discovered in 1881, in very small quantities, and is no longer easy to see on the market.

The value of this bundle is especially increased by the auctioneer's mention of the provenance of these two gemstones, the 'cornflower sapphire' from the collection of Louis XIV, the famous king of luxury in history, and the gold and diamond scepter, which was made during the coronation of Charles II.

Such a pure 'cornflower' sapphire is also an antique jewel from the Louis XIV collection, and the handle of Charles II weighs 530. A 2-carat diamond scepter is worth a lot of money. The auctioneer looked at the guests who had already aroused interest and smiled with satisfaction.

Although there was a brief introduction to this necklace and this scepter in the brochure of the auction lot, it only briefly mentioned its carats, and then the number of diamonds decorated with it, as well as its purity. The news that they came from the collections of Emperor Louis XIV and Charles II had just been announced from the podium.

And this method of theirs, apparently, was a great success, and everyone's interest was aroused. And at the auction, such a watch will represent a new high in the price of this bundle of gemstones!
