Chapter 338: The Joy of Holding Cards.

The light rain in London had been pouring down all night and had stopped in the early morning, but it was still overcast.

After eating a very European breakfast, Ruan Jiaojiao and Anna walked from the first floor to the top floor, standing on the rooftop and looking at the London Bridge not far away, relaxing.

The two of them, who were slightly consumed, took the elevator to the indoor swimming pool on the second floor for morning swimming and fitness, and after swimming for 20 minutes, they went back to their rooms to change their clothes and prepare to go out.

There are many large and small auctions held in London this time, and there are also countless auction exhibitions.

The two went to two big exhibitions and one exhibition in the morning, and then Ruan Jiaojiao declined Anna's invitation, and instead of attending a friend's party with her, she arranged a car and bodyguards for her, and then went home alone.

In addition to making an appointment with Ji Huai'an to call at noon, it was also to entertain a special guest.

When Ruan Jiaojiao arrived home, the guests had not yet arrived.

While talking to Ji Huai'an, who had arrived in Yangcheng and was at the post office at this time, she looked through the invitations and albums of various auctions sent by Charlie's housekeeper.

Although Grandpa Ruan is no longer there, the relationships and money that used to be are not fake, as long as Charlie Butler reveals his wishes, the major auction companies will immediately send people to send invitations, a thick stack, which is more complete than what Anna received.

In addition to those that are open to the outside world, there are also privately held, only entertaining acquaintances, more than a dozen large and small, and not every auction album is provided.

However, Ruan Jiaojiao calculated, they all happened to diverge in time, so they were ready to be a "special forces" fortune boy, and participated in every game!

After chatting with Ji Huai'an, not long after hanging up the phone, the guest also rang the doorbell and arrived.

Ruan Jiaojiao woke up in the morning and asked Charlie Butler to contact the embassy.

She doesn't doubt her financial resources, she doesn't doubt that the things she likes will fall into the hands of others, but she is worried that she has bought too much and can't ship it back, so of course she has to contact the state for help at this time.

When Charlie Butler contacted him in the morning, he explained what had happened, so this trip was Mr. Fu Yue, the plenipotentiary ambassador of the Xia Embassy in the UK, who came in person.

He brought with him a secretary assistant of his own, both of whom were also in suits and leather shoes and wore large-rimmed glasses.

He was accompanied by a middle-aged man in a dark gray tunic.

This person Ruan Jiaojiao is no stranger, and he once had a relationship with him at the Hong Kong City auction, and it seems that he is a cadre of the Xia Kingdom Cultural Relics Administration.

This time, the auction in London was so crazy, the treasures and orphans came out one after another, and the country received the news and sent people over, Ruan Jiaojiao was not surprised.

After introducing each other and greeting each other for a while, Charlie Butler took everyone to a seat.

On the dining table, all the dishes were Chinese home-cooked food, which made the three gentlemen feel more cordial.

After eating, Ruan Jiaojiao also chatted with them about the specific regulations.

At that time, the housekeeper Charlie will take Mr. Qiu from the Cultural Relics Bureau to participate in the auction, and Ruan Jiaojiao and Anna will concentrate on buying what they like.

The things were bought and delivered to her home, and finally arranged by the embassy to be transported back to her courtyard in Beijing.

After seeing off the three of them, Ruan Jiaojiao got in the car and went to the Sunset Country Museum.

No Xia Guo could come out of it with a smile, and neither did Ruan Jiaojiao.

She had been here when she was studying abroad in Sunset Country, and this was the second time.

Ruan Jiaojiao's mood was heavy and depressed, looking at the female Shi Zhentu in the display case that had not been restored and was brutally cut into four sections, she raised her hand in vain.

The blockbuster painting at the Justshide auction may be able to exchange her back.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at it for a long time with a calm face, and then turned around and left the museum.

The next day, Anna and her friends continued to see the exhibition, and Ruan Jiaojiao took Mr. Qiu with her, and went to five small auctions, buying more than 30 pieces of jewelry and antiques.

Among them, millions of dollars were spent on jewelry, and less than 300,000 were for antiques.

It's not that you don't buy much, but right now, it's really not that expensive.

On the third day, that is, the time of the Sotheby's auction, Ruan Jiaojiao and Anna coincidentally wore small fragrance suits, one shallow and one deep, and set off wearing matching beautiful top hats.

Top auction companies like Sothebys and Carlsto are headquartered in London, which is their home turf, and their momentum is naturally incomparable to that of Hong Kong City.

A very large theater venue, which is full of aristocrats, rich and celebrities from all over the world, aside from Ruan Jiaojiao, the per capita assets here are nearly 10 million US dollars, you must know that this is still before the 80s.

Ruan Jiaojiao photographed her fancy antique lacquer carved jewelry box, two pieces of jewelry, and a historic Persian carpet, and then stopped to take a break.

“Omg! Gillian, I think I might have to get to know you again. ”

Anna's family sells gemstones, the kind that has its own diamond mine, and her husband's family sells airplanes, although it is not the heir of the family, but it also owns shares, as well as its own connections and companies, which is very powerful.

People like Anna come and go and come into contact with the same class of upper-class people, but no one will be like Ruan Jiaojiao!

She really understood today what it means to spend money like running water!

A Persian carpet actually cost 600,000 US dollars!

She admits that the carpet is old, intricately made, and still used silk, but ......

Coupled with the previous ones, Anna watched that the auction was less than a quarter of the way out, and Ruan Jiaojiao spent more than a million.

If Ruan Jiaojiao knew what Anna was thinking, she would only raise her little head and smile, saying that this is the beginning, and when it is over, you will get to know my sister again!

Diagonally in front of their place sat Charlie Butler and Mr. Qiu of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

Charlie Butler directly gave the bidding card to Mr. Qiu and asked him to raise it.

Anyway, the things you like are circled in the atlas, no matter how much money the lady will take, it's very tiring to hold the card, and it's just right for someone to help him, the old man.

Mr. Qiu, who was two years younger than Charlie's housekeeper, was flushed with excitement, and repeatedly raising the card was not tiring for him at all, only indescribably happy.

From the beginning, he carefully held up the card, raised a look at Charlie's housekeeper, and in the back, under the encouragement of Charlie's housekeeper's eyes, it was faster and faster each time, as if he was afraid of being robbed.

This is different from those small auctions that Ruan Jiaojiao participated in yesterday, where more than a dozen people bid for a thing, and basically hundreds of thousands of dollars passed with one example, and my heart was about to pop out.

At the end of the morning auction, Charlie Butler counted that a total of more than five million dollars had been spent, drizzle.

After all, the morning is just an appetizer, and the afternoon is the main event.

Ruan Jiaojiao and his party went to the most famous hotel in Sunset Country for a meal, during which Charlie butler also prepared a suit for Mr. Qiu, replacing his sweat-soaked clothes.

After a short break, everyone stepped into the auction venue again.
