London is only a few hundred kilometers away from Paris in a straight line, and the plane flew for about an hour before landing at the London airport.

Although the distance was very close, after getting off the plane, Han Chong clearly felt that the temperature in London was a few degrees lower than in Paris, and the air did not seem to be as good as in Paris.

Before coming to London, Bi Yue informed the staff of Bi's Jewelry in London.

Since Bi Yue has been helping the British royal family design jewelry when she was studying abroad, she is considered a jewelry designer of the British royal family, so Bi's jewelry is also quite preferential in the UK, and you can drive the car directly into the airport.

Without exception, the appearance of the stars made the driver who came to pick up Bi Yue and the others tremble with fright, and finally Bi Yue drove to the hotel.

There are more old buildings in London than in Paris, cars driving on the old and damp streets, and Han Chong's mind also has the description of the city of London in the book.

London is the capital, largest city and largest port of the United Kingdom, one of the largest metropolitan areas in Europe and one of the world's four world-class cities, along with New York in the United States, Paris in France and Tokyo in Japan.

From 1801 to the beginning of the 20th century, as the capital of the British Empire, a world empire, London became the largest city in the world because of its outstanding achievements in the fields of politics, economy, humanities and culture, scientific and technological inventions.

London is also a very diverse metropolis with residents from all over the world, ethnicity, religion and culture, more than 300 languages spoken in the city, and a world-famous tourist destination with a large number of attractions and museums.

However, after the Second World War, Britain's influence on the world pattern was much less than that of Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901, and Britain was undoubtedly the most powerful country in the world. Not one of them.

However, as the capital of the old empire, London is still very deep, the ancient Tower Bridge on the Thames River, the Palace of Westminster, which is listed as one of the world cultural heritage, and St. Paul's Cathedral, the representative of Baroque architecture, all interpret the historical and cultural heritage of the city.

Han Chong's impression of the United Kingdom, including London, is more to stay in the Premier League, in recent years, the development of British football has been extremely rapid, has surpassed the Italian league, which is known as the small World Cup, and has become the first country in Europe's top five leagues.

The hotel where Han Chong and his crew were staying. It is an internationally renowned five-star hotel, and the venue of the International Jewelry Fair is held in this hotel, which can be said to be very convenient.

Han Chong was very excited today, and he took a plane just now, and the whole person felt a little tired mentally, after entering the hotel. He just lay down and went to sleep, but Han Chong didn't feel that he had slept for long, and his phone rang.

"Who?" Bi Yue's voice sounded beside him.

"It's Brother Bai, you sleep first. I'm out to answer the phone......"

Han Chong stepped out of bed, came to the living room, and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Han Chong. Okay, your museum thing, it's not a big problem......"

Curator Bai spoke quickly. Before Han Chong could hear what was going on, he hung up the phone and looked at the wall clock hanging in the living room, Han Chong suddenly hated the root of his teeth, I'm easy, it's three o'clock at night, why are you tossing me.

Early the next morning, Han Chong only slept for a few hours, and was pulled up by Bi Yue, because the opening ceremony of the London International Jewelry Fair was about to be held today, and as the spokesperson of Bi's Jewelry and the gold medal winner of the last fair, they had to attend the opening ceremony.

After cleaning up, Han Chong put on a black suit, wore a white bow tie, and left the room with Bi Yue, who was wearing a cheongsam, and came to the expo venue on the third floor of the hotel.

Founded in 1956, the London International Jewellery Fair has attracted buyers and suppliers from various countries in the jewellery, gift and related industries, and over the years, the London International Jewellery Fair has provided a large number of high-quality jewellery products to international buyers.

Jewelers from all over the world are proud that their jewelry can win awards at the London Jewelry Fair, and winning awards means that they can get more attention.

For example, after winning the gold medal last year, Bi's jewelry received orders from jewelry buyers in many countries, and according to Bi Junjiang's words, this year's entire Bi's jewelry processing plant is very busy.

"Sir, Madam, please show your invitations......"

The entire third floor is the venue of the exhibition, covering an area of thousands of square meters, which is full of jewelry booths from various countries and private individuals, but when they entered the door, Han Chong and Bi Yue were stopped by the guards at the door.

"What? Not just a casual visit? ”

After Bi Yue took out two invitations from his handbag and entered the venue, Han Chong asked in some surprise.

"Of course not, at a fair like this, the jewellery is for sale, and if you want to come in and visit or buy jewellery, you have to pay £50 for ......."

Bi Yue's words made Han Chong speechless, 50 pounds is six or seven hundred rmB, the price of this ticket is much more expensive than in China, like the Hi-Tech Fair, Canton Fair and the like, a ticket is only a few dozen yuan.

Not only that, after entering the venue, Han Chong learned that these booths like the venue are charged, and the price is extremely high, the general booth is about 400 pounds per square meter, if you add the cost of decoration and lighting, the cost of almost a booth will be more than one million rmB.

However, according to Bi Yue's words, these costs are worth it, Bi's jewelry spent more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars on the exhibition last year, but the orders received are as much as 300 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not difficult to judge.

Walking along the aisles in the middle of the exhibition halls, Han Chong and Bi Yue walked inside, and they could see that although it was called a jewelry fair, some of the things on display in these exhibition halls were beyond the scope of jewelry.

In addition to the branded jewelry of some well-known companies, there are also showrooms specializing in second-hand jewelry, children's jewelry, costume jewelry, fashion jewelry, and luxury jewelry, which are very subdivided. It allows jewelers and tourists to choose the products they need according to various subcategories.

In addition to these jewelry exhibits, there are also some antiques and gift exhibition halls, which makes Han Chong very interested, this is a bit like a domestic temple fair, maybe you can find some good objects.

At this time, most of the people in the exhibition hall are exhibitors from various countries, waiting for the opening of the expo, and some people. He was busy arranging his own exhibition hall and booth.

In the middle of the exhibition hall, there is a space of about a few hundred square meters, and there is only one jewelry display case, which is displayed, and the jewelry inside the glass cover of that display case is the purple-eyed jade necklace that Han Chong gave to Bi Yue.

This is Bi Yue in accordance with the requirements of the organizing committee of the conference, sent in advance, this is also the practice of the conference, to be at the expo. The award ceremony was held for the gold medal jewelry of the previous edition.

After waiting for about ten minutes, all the exhibitors and buyers who participated in the expo gathered in this open space, and a gray-haired host. He stood in the center of the venue, in front of the purple-eyed jade necklace booth.

It seems that these opening ceremonies at home and abroad are all similar, and the host first introduced some of the VIPs who came to participate in the opening ceremony. Among them is the mayor of the City of London.

Fortunately, these VIPs only came to cheer, and did not make a speech like those leaders in China.

"Next, I would like to invite Miss Bi Yue from Hong Kong Bi's Jewelry Group. to receive the gold medal certificate of the last expo......"

The process of the opening ceremony went very quickly, and after a few minutes, the host mentioned Bi Yue's name, and after the award ceremony, the expo was officially opened.

After the opening, Han Chong and Bi Yue, led by the staff of Bi's Jewelry, came to the exhibition hall belonging to Bi's Jewelry.

Because Bi Junjiang once specially explained that this jewelry exhibition was mainly based on Han Chong's opinion, the staff member from Hong Kong was extremely respectful to Han Chong.

"It's good, you guys go according to the plan, Bi Yue and I have some other things to do......

Han Chong took a general look, and most of the jewels in the glass cabinets in these booths were the red jade jewelry that he had gambled on from Myanmar this year.

The jewelry made of this batch of materials, although in terms of grade, can only be regarded as A goods, but it is not up to the top jade jewelry, but for women, they have always preferred red, so this will be next to the booth, standing a lot of jewelry buyers, inquiring about the price of jewelry.

"Bi Yue, our mission is complete, right?"

Han Chong and Bi Yue sat on the leisure sofa in their own exhibition hall, and asked a little boredly, his mind would have already gone to several exhibition halls selling Chinese and foreign artworks, but Han Chong was not interested in his own business.

"Well, the company has arranged the rest of the matter, and we don't have anything to do......"

Bi Yue nodded, she didn't like this kind of occasion very much, if it weren't for the family's business, she wouldn't have shown her head at all.

"Well, since it's okay, you go back to your room and change your clothes first, and then let's go around, tomorrow I will make an appointment with Silberg, and we will go back to Myanmar after talking about things......"

Han Chong stood up when he heard this, but the first thing he did was to let Bi Yue go back to the room to change clothes, his own woman was wearing such revealing clothes, and she was stared at by everyone, Han Chong couldn't wait to take a sheet and wrap Bi Yue tightly.

Then again, the jade necklace worth hundreds of millions of dollars on Bi Yue's neck, it is not safe to wear it, in this world, there is a group of jewelry thieves, staring at those expensive jewelry, Bi Yue looks good wearing a necklace, but it is also the source of trouble.

After returning to the room, Han Chong handed the necklace to Xu Guang, with him and Xingxing here, it is estimated that no thief in this world can steal the necklace from them.

After changing their clothes, the two came to an exhibition hall that sold handicrafts and gifts, in foreign countries, antiques are uniformly called works of art, and their market norms and grades are more detailed than the classification of Chinese antiques.

In this room, there are some antique jewelry with relatively dull colors, as well as some oil paintings, of course, the work of some new artists.

In addition, there were some rusty bronzes, which made Han Chong interested, but when he walked to the glass booth and used his aura to probe, he was immediately disappointed, these things were all fake.

Han Chong had long heard that in the Nanhe area, there was a village specializing in the production of bronze handicrafts, the craftsmanship was very superb, and the old-fashioned techniques were also very clever, almost fake.

There are many antique dealers with bad character who often go there to order bronzes, but although the people there will make objects according to the will of others, but every time they sell an object, they will leave a bill with a bill written on it, which must be modern handicrafts.

In this way, even if those antique dealers take these things to cheat and deceive, they will not be able to find the village, and even if someone comes to the door with fake objects, they can take out the photos of the bottom list, which can make the people who bought the fake goods speechless.

Another characteristic of the bronzes made in that village is that even if most of them are exported, the foreign exchange created by the village in a year accounts for more than half of the entire county.

Judging from the manufacturing process of these bronzes, Han Chong can almost conclude that these objects must have been brought out of China, and nine times out of ten, they were made in that village.

Several salespeople are working hard to explain the value of these things to some buyers and tourists.

"Bi Yue, let's go, there's nothing to see......"

These objects were unattractive in Han Chong's eyes, and after walking around, he didn't find anything that could make him tempted, Han Chong shook his head and walked out of this exhibition hall with Bi Yue.

"Oh, dear Han, I've been looking for you for a long time......"

As soon as he walked out of the exhibition hall, Han Chong heard someone shouting loudly on his right, turned his face to look, and couldn't help laughing, instead of looking at these boring objects here, it was better to look at this person's collection.

"Mr. Silberg, it's a pleasure to meet you here, why, you're also interested in jewelry?"

Han Chong and Silberg made an appointment tomorrow, because Wen Wan could take care of New York tomorrow and rush to London to participate in this matter.

A lawyer and notary public need to be present for the transaction of items like Han Chong's, so that after returning to China, Han Chong can also explain the origin of these items......

"No...... No, Mr. Han, I'm more interested in the Picasso sketches in your hands than in the jewelry......"

After Silberg saw Han Chong at the opening ceremony just now, he has been looking for him at the venue, but he has walked around the venue a few times, but he has not seen Han Chong's figure, where does Silberg know that Han Chong took Bi Yue upstairs just now. (To be continued......)
