Chapter 459: The Biggest Opponent
Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong Island, where Sotheby's held a grand auction this year, was full of dignitaries. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The hotel has been under martial law, the entire hotel has been chartered, there are no reporters outside, some are just security guards, when Lei Juewen got off the car with Guan Zhilin, he saw many security guards and stairs covered with red carpets.
The waiter who opened the car door for Lei Juewen led the way in front, while Lei Juewen and Guan Zhilin followed behind.
Entering the lobby of the hotel, Lei Juewen saw many people standing in more than a dozen places in the hall, chatting with each other.
"Brother Lei, there are a lot of foreigners here."
Guan Zhilin looked around and said, there are a lot of foreigners here, but it was unexpected to her, she obviously didn't expect the British to come to the auction.
"It's normal, the prosperous collection of antiques, the British are not bad for money."
Lei Juewen said lightly, although it is not a prosperous era now, it is definitely not compatible with the troubled times, rich people naturally collect antiques waiting for appreciation, and even more simply like artworks, so people who come to participate in the auction are naturally indispensable.
"Brother Lei, I saw Sister Linlin and them, let's go over."
Guan Zhilin shook Lei Juewen's arm, but she saw an acquaintance.
Lei Juewen followed the direction, but saw Huo Zhenting, Zhu Linlin and his wife, and Zheng Jiachun and his wife, all old acquaintances.
Lei Juewen and Guan Zhilin went over together, and everyone greeted each other politely.
After greeting, Huo Zhenting said, "Lei Sheng, what do you value this time?" If it's not something we value very much, we don't have to fight. ”
Hearing this, Lei Juewen looked at Guan Zhilin and said, "I have taken a fancy to a piece of Jade Buddha, the one with a reserve price of three million Hong Kong dollars." ”
Huo Zhenting nodded and said, "That piece of ice jade jade Buddha is said to have been passed down from the Old Summer Palace back then, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
Zheng Jiachun interjected: "Most of it is true, this jade Buddha has a net weight of 605.7g, such a large piece of jade Buddha, it is not available everywhere, eighty percent of it is spread from the Old Summer Palace, but it has not been in the world." ”
Huo Zhenting sighed: "When it comes to the Old Summer Palace, we have to think of Cixi's collection back then, let's take jadeite as an example, like the jade watermelon or something, if it is in the present world, the transaction price will be at least tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, which is worth a fortune." ”
"I don't know where that thing has gone now, and no one dares to say whether it was collected or broken, who knows."
Lei Juewen shook his head, the famous jade watermelon, the funeral goods of the Empress Dowager Cixi, of course he has heard of the name for a long time, but this treasure was lost early, even before he was reborn, this treasure did not exist, I don't know where it is hidden. Of course, it is not impossible to be crushed because of war, after all, manpower is limited, and it is normal for one to be broken if it is not properly protected.
"That's just as well."
Huo Zhenting nodded in agreement, then looked at Guan Zhilin and said, "Lei Sheng took a picture of the Jade Buddha, but he wants to give it to Miss Guan?" ”
Lei Juewen didn't hide it, nodded with a smile: "Since she likes it and I have the ability, I naturally want to shoot it for her." ”
"You are really generous, using tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to win the hearts of beauties."
Zheng Jiachun gave Lei Juewen a thumbs up, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount for the Zheng family, it is naturally used to do business, but it is used to auction a jewelry for a woman, but it can't be taken out, just because of the distressed word, after all, it is not easy to make money.
Lei Juewen smiled and didn't say anything. For him, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is also a lot, but he earns more, his money is used on women, and he only uses more than one million Hong Kong dollars a month, he earns much faster than he spends, and occasionally he is extravagant, and spending a lot of money is nothing.
Guan Zhilin listened to the beauty beside him, especially when he saw Zhu Linlin and Ye Meiqin's envious eyes, he was even more confident and proud, his boyfriend was good, and he was willing to spend so much money to buy himself what he liked.
"Miss He is here."
Huo Zhenting suddenly said loudly.
Hearing this, Lei Juewen turned his head to look at the door, but saw He Chaoqiong holding her mother's hand and walking in.
Guan Zhilin was originally standing with Zhu Linlin and Ye Meiqin, but after seeing He Chaoqiong, he immediately walked to Lei Juewen's side and stood up, holding Lei Juewen's hand. She heard and saw the scandal between Lei Juewen and He Chaoqiong from the newspaper early on, He Chaoqiong is the daughter of the gambling king, she doesn't feel that she has an advantage, so she has never expressed the worry in her heart, and now she meets He Chaoqiong for the first time, regardless of whether Lei Juewen has anything to do with He Chaoqiong or not, she has to demonstrate, let He Chaoqiong know that she Guan Zhilin is Lei Juewen's girlfriend, and let He Chaoqiong retreat.
Lei Juewen glanced at Guan Zhilin and smiled thoughtfully, but he didn't take his hand away. He Chaoqiong's identity is not ordinary, although he has thoughts about this beauty, he doesn't want to take action, he doesn't want to be tied up by marriage and give up a forest because of a tree.
Lan Qiongying is an elder, Lei Juewen and the others naturally have no reason to let the elders come over, and several people took the initiative to walk over to say hello.
Lan Qiongying did not put on the shelf of her elders, she was very good at being a person, she took a few more looks at Guan Zhilin beside Lei Juewen, although she was her daughter's rival, she still couldn't help but sigh, she deserved to be the champion of Miss Asia, worthy of being the woman who made the media shout out the first beauty on Hong Kong Island, she was really impeccable in appearance, no wonder Lei Juewen was fascinated.
After He Chaoqiong saw Guan Zhilin, although she covered it up well, Guan Zhilin, who was always paying attention to her, could still see her unwillingness. Since Lei Juewen brought Guan Zhilin to this kind of place, it was to show the upper class society that Guan Zhilin was his girlfriend, and He Chaoqiong, who liked Lei Juewen, naturally felt unwilling.
"Hmph, she really likes Brother Lei, I can't let her get her wish."
Guan Zhilin snorted secretly in her heart, she regarded He Chaoqiong as her biggest competitor. She knew that Lei Juewen had a lot of women, and vaguely guessed some people, but those people were all celebrities like her, and the conditions at home were not very good, like He Chaoqiong, the daughter of the gambling king, and Lei Juewen could be said to be a good match, if Lei Juewen and He Chaoqiong came together, she was really afraid that nothing would happen to her, and she would never let this happen.
With the passage of time, more and more powerful and wealthy people from Hong Kong Island came, both Hong Kong Islanders and British.
When the time came to half past seven, the manager of the auction house came to the hall with people and invited everyone to the auction hall, and the auction was about to begin.
