Chapter 176: Characters from all walks of life appear one after another
Sotheby's invested a lot of money in publicity and promotion in the early stage, but in the end it was equivalent to making a wedding dress for Christie's, which made Anthony extremely angry.
However, Christie's auction house is the property of the Rockefeller family, and the comprehensive strength of the Rockefeller family is no worse than that of the Rothschilds, and with the relationship between the Rothschilds and the Rockefeller family, it is difficult to influence the decisions made by the Rockefeller family.
In this case, even if the angry Anthony threw a bottle of '82 Lafite worth tens of thousands of dollars to the ground, the auction of the elixir of creation held at Christie's auction house was not affected in any way.
The next morning, Chen Wanqiu, Qianmo and Li Xue all wore specially customized dresses, one by one looked noble and generous, mature and elegant, glamorous and dazzling, and when these three beauties walked out of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, they attracted the attention of countless men.
Xiaolanling Wushun and I are also in suits and leather shoes, and our usual dresses are completely like two people, and at first glance they are upper-class figures.
Christie's auctioneers showed their respect for us and the importance they attached to the auction by sending two extended Rolls-Royce Phantoms to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel to pick us up.
When we arrived at Christie's, Christie's deliberately placed us in the center of the first row closest to the auction table as a sign of respect.
Not long after we were seated, we walked slowly into the auction hall of Christie's auction house, dressed in a purple gown and glamorous.
As soon as he saw where we were sitting, he came to us.
Originally, Wu Shun was sitting next to me, but as soon as he saw Wenren Allure coming over, Wu Shun stood up very consciously and let Wenren Allure sit next to me.
Chen Wanqiu didn't think that Wenren Allure would pose a threat to her, so she didn't mind, and she also took the initiative to say hello to Wenren Allure.
Wenren Allure didn't say anything polite to Wu Shun, and sat directly beside me.
After a few words of greeting with Chen Wanqiu, Wen Ren Allure told me about the auction.
"Christie's has made a lot of money this time! Not only do they not need to invest any promotion and publicity costs, but I also took the initiative to add a point to them. ”
Originally, the commission points given to Sotheby's were three points, but now she has added one point to Christie's, which means that if the Elixir of Creation can be auctioned at Christie's for 10 billion US dollars, then Christie's auction house will have a commission income of 400 million US dollars.
Even according to the last time I sold at Tianheng Auction, I am afraid that Christie's auction house will have nearly a billion dollars in revenue this time.
What's more, what I plan to auction this time is not just the Elixir of Creation!
If I take a merit pill and put it up for auction, I don't know what kind of price it will be auctioned?
As people said, Christie's auction house really made a lot of money this time!
However, the commission of four points is still within the range that I can accept.
In this way, after hearing about Christie's and the Rockefeller family, people began to enter the auction hall of Christie's auction house one after another.
The people who can be invited by Christie's auction house are all local tycoons from all over the world, especially the oil tycoons and princes from the Middle East.
However, there are not many nobles from Europe, only a few members of European royal families, which may have something to do with the relatively slow economic development of Europe in the past ten years.
Christie's is one of the top three auction houses in the world, and even stone tycoons from the Middle East and members of European royal families are not qualified to sit in the first row of the auction table at Christie's.
These dozen or so tycoons from the Middle East and members of European royal families were all arranged in the row behind us.
I am familiar with the people who entered the auction hall next, these two people are the richest man in Hong Kong, Mr. Li, and Mr. Liu, who bought the elixir of creation at the Tianheng auction last time at a starting price of 880 million US dollars.
Old Man Li still looks like usual, his eyes are shrewd and wise, but no matter what, he is in his eighties, and the old age spots on his face and the way he staggers and struggles when he walks are enough to explain the problem.
But the old man Liu who walked in with him walked with a red light on his face, and he was not the same person at all as the old man Liu who only had one breath left and hung for his life.
The current old man Liu is not only dozens of years younger in physical condition, but also the female star next to him has changed, and she is younger and more beautiful than the one who accompanied him to the auction last time.
And judging from the affectionate gaze of this female star when she looked at Old Man Liu, I am afraid that what this female star likes is not necessarily Old Man Liu's money.
Especially after Old Man Liu spent all his family property to take pictures of the elixir of creation, he now has not many fixed assets.
After entering the auction hall, Mr. Liu and Mr. Li saw us immediately, and under the leadership of the staff of Christie's, these two came to us.
"Mr. Jiang, if it weren't for your Creation Elixir, I wouldn't be where I am today!"
"Just because you gave me the opportunity to experience the elixir of creation, my Lao Liu will be grateful to you for a lifetime!"
With a look of gratitude, after finishing speaking, Mr. Liu took the female star next to him and bowed to me.
I hurriedly stood up and supported Mr. Liu.
And at this moment, Old Man Li said to me with a resolute face: "Mr. Jiang, I was not prepared last time, so I missed the opportunity to take a picture of the next Creation Elixir. ”
"This time I'm fully prepared, I must take a picture of your creation elixir."
Of course, I will not reject this attitude shown by Mr. Li, but I hope that there will be more people like him.
Because only in this way will the auction price of the Creation Elixir be raised even higher.
But even if Old Man Li is fully prepared, with his economic strength, can he finally take a picture of the elixir of creation? I'm not too bullish.
After all, I can only take out a few Creation Elixir or Merit Golden Pill, but there are not only a few billionaires in this world.
"Hope you succeed!"
After I exchanged pleasantries with Mr. Li, the people at Christie's auction house arranged seats for Mr. Liu and Mr. Li respectively.
I was a little surprised that Christie's auction house placed Mr. Liu and the female stars he brought in the first row closest to the auction table, while Mr. Li, the richest man in Hong Kong, was placed in the second row, sitting with several members of the European royal family.
The next people who participated in the auction continued to enter, and there were several of the top 10 richest people on our domestic rich list.
Akio Hirata and Chairman Pan Jianlin Pan have already ranked among the top five richest people in China, but the two of them did not come to the auction because they were busy with the company's business.
Basically, Jiu Ye will not pull down any large-scale auction, so among the people who came to participate in the auction, I saw Jiu Ye again.
After saying hello to us, Jiu Ye was arranged by the people at Christie's auction house to sit in a relatively lower position.
And not long after Jiu Ye sat down, several waves of people entered the auction hall of Christie's auction house.
For me, these waves of people are all familiar old acquaintances who can no longer be acquainted.
The first to arrive was the son of the Pope of the Holy See, who entered Christie's auction house, followed by two old men in red papal uniforms.
As the son of the Pope, Christie's did not dare to slack off, so the Pope's son and the two old men were arranged to sit in the same row as us.
This pope's son looked so invincible, but when his eyes swept over Qian Mo sitting next to Chen Wanqiu, the expression on his face was immediately full of jealousy, and he pointed at Qian Mo and whispered to the two old men beside him.
After hearing what the Pope's son said, the two old men in red papal uniforms stared at Qianmo.
Although Qianmo could feel that the two old men of the Holy See were looking at her, she smiled slightly at the two old men of the Holy See, showing that she didn't care at all.
Coming in after the Pope's son was the president of the Dark Council and Prince Richard, the vice president of the Dark Council.
Prince Raymond, the president of the Dark Council, is the patriarch of the thirteen vampire families, and Christie's auction house naturally did not dare to slack off to place him and Prince Richard in the same row as us.
Like the people of the Holy See, Prince Raymond and Prince Richard had extremely jealous expressions on their faces after seeing Qian Mo beside Chen Wanqiu.
However, they seemed to have come to the auction and did not intend to conflict with us, and after glancing at us, they looked elsewhere.
After the two presidents of the Dark Council were seated, Ishihara Fuji of the Ishihara family walked into the auction hall behind an old man in a black samurai uniform, about sixty years old, with a gloomy and cold expression.
These two people were also placed in the same row as us at Christie's, and after taking their seats, Ishihara Fuji also pointed to Qianmo and whispered to the old man.
But the old man with a gloomy face didn't react from beginning to end, the expression on his face didn't change at all, he didn't even look at Qianmo, he sat motionless in his seat like a statue.
It was not surprising to me, Qin Chuchu and the people who hated the Heavenly Alliance also came to participate in this auction.
Moreover, among the people who hated the Heavenly Alliance, Yao Gongzi, Qin Gongzi and Zhou Gongzi, among the three princes of Tiandaomen, all three of them broke through the gap between immortals and mortals and became Heavenly Rank existences.
The two brothers, Zhou He and Zhou Jie, also broke through the gap between immortals and became heaven-level existences.
Qin Chuchu's eldest sister Qin Xiuxiu and second sister Qin Meimei are still the same as before, at the peak of the ground level.
From this point of view, the last time Qin Chuchu took the elixir of creation from my hands, it should have been used on the two brothers Zhou Jie and Zhou He, as well as the other three of the four princes of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
This time they came to Christie's auction house, are they going to auction a few more creation elixirs from my hands?
It seems that in order to improve the strength of the younger generation of elite children, Tiandaomen is really willing to invest!
And just when I was sighing, Nangong Haotian and Yao Yuan of the Nangong family actually entered the auction hall of Christie's auction house together.
James, the patriarch of the Rothschild family, and Anthony, the father and son actually accompanied Yao Yuan and Nangong Haotian with a courteous face.
