Chapter 339: Drinking Party Connections.
Compared with the excitement in the morning, this one in the afternoon can be described as intense.
From the first lot, there was nothing that sold for less than $1 million.
The Pearl Relic Treasure is the penultimate lot, and when it appears, Ruan Jiaojiao, who is watching the play, adjusts her posture slightly and sits up straight.
It's really beautiful, so beautiful that it's astounding.
The main body is made of nanmu wood, and it is full of lifelike carvings, and it is also decorated with crystal, agate, amber, gold and silver, sandalwood, and nearly 40,000 pearls the size of sesame seeds.
On top of that, it is a Buddhist artwork, a container used to store relics, and at this time nine relics are being enshrined in it!
Whether it's religion, culture, art, or history, it's a stunning treasure.
The starting price of this treasure was $1.2 million, but in just three minutes, it jumped to $5 million.
What an astronomical amount of five million dollars in 79 years is, just looking at a sports car is only forty or fifty thousand, and a luxury item in later generations is only a few hundred yuan.
But the numbers continued to skyrocket, and it didn't slow down until eight million.
Mr. Qiu's head was buzzing, almost clutching his chest and bidding.
Since he started going abroad to participate in auctions, he has never seen so much money, but now it is only the price of a lot, and it may be more than that.
In the end, the jewel sold for 11 million dollars, making history as the most expensive lot ever sold at Sotheby's.
In the end, the Dawn Transformation Heavenly Eye Lamp failed to surpass.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at Mr. Qiu from a distance and seemed to be a little too excited, so she raised her card.
The foreign rich didn't care so much, and the rich people of the island countries couldn't fight, and finally fell under the hammer, but it was only 2.8 million US dollars.
Mr. Qiu's limp legs were carried out of the venue by Charlie's housekeeper, and the whole person seemed to be fished out of the water, his hair stuck to his cheeks, soaked into wisps of sweat.
His eyes were red, and when he saw Ruan Jiaojiao, he staggered and wanted to shake hands and thank him.
But thinking that his palms were sticky with sweat, he was embarrassed to reach out, so he could only thank him again and again.
He didn't expect Ruan Jiaojiao to take pictures of those things and give them to the country, after all, no one's money was blown by the wind, let alone so much money.
He was just grateful to Ruan Jiaojiao for allowing these things to return to their homeland, and for letting them go home, it was enough.
Dongdong's housekeeper sent Mr. Qiu back to rest, and Ruan Jiaojiao and Anna, escorted by bodyguards and accompanied by Charlie's housekeeper, went to Anna's friend's drinking party together.
Thinking about the more than 20 million yuan spent today, and looking at the more than 30 million yuan rewarded today in Taogou, Ruan Jiaojiao was a little helpless.
It's hard to spend!
…
The private reception was held by a friend of Anna's Sunset Country, and it just so happened that this person seemed to know Arrogant.
Butler Charlie stood behind Ruan Jiaojiao, quietly looked at all the people in the banquet hall, and then whispered their identities in Ruan Jiaojiao's ear.
Jiaojiao once left Ruan Jiaojiao a black notebook, which recorded all her friends and classmates who had dealings with her in the form of a diary.
Ruan Jiaojiao even memorized this personal connection guide directly, just in case.
After Charlie's housekeeper's prompting, she instantly remembered the identity of this organizer-
I have met Jiaojiao three times, he was born in a nobleman, his family is engaged in a liquor company, the scale is not small, and he himself is a lawyer.
With the help of Charlie's housekeeper, Ruan Jiaojiao greeted everyone who had contact with Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao himself did not have much personal contact with them, and later went to the United States to study, under Ruan Jiaojiao's good etiquette and demeanor, they were only slightly surprised that Ruan Jiaojiao changed her name, and they didn't feel that anything was wrong.
To be able to participate in this cocktail party, no family is ordinary, and the organizer itself has set a threshold to isolate people who want to come in and make friends.
After greeting in a circle, it is either a family politician or a royal nobleman, or a business tycoon from various countries, what kind of grain, crude oil, medicine, machinery, and mining tycoons, there are all here.
"gillian, it turns out that your name was ZOra, why did you change your name? Sorry, I'm just curious. Anna asked, taking a sip of her wine.
In fact, in their countries, name changes are very common, and it is likely that they want to change their name because they are in a bad mood today.
It's just that when it comes to their class, the name is a paper pass, and in communication, it is really inconvenient to change the name, so Anna is quite curious.
Ruan Jiaojiao smiled slightly, and moved out of the excuse she used before arrogance, that is, her family died, she was so sad that she couldn't come out, and she wanted to change her name and start trying a new life.
"Oh~" Anna covered her hand to her mouth in surprise, then wrinkled her brows and said apologetically: "I'm sorry dear ......"
It was also the first time she knew that her Oriental friend's family was gone, no wonder her elders had never seen her, and she had never heard her mention it.
Ruan Jiaojiao shook her head slightly, saying that it didn't matter, "Don't be sorry Anna." My family just went to live in another world, and they would live well there. ”
Because of Ruan Jiaojiao's open-mindedness, Anna is more fond of her, "Of course......"
As if to change the topic, Anna raised her head and looked not far away, and then said to Ruan Jiaojiao as she walked, "Sweetheart, let me introduce you to a few friends." Last time in Beijing, you already met my good friend John and Steven, and several of them are also good friends of me and Steven, and they are also alumni. They will definitely be happy to meet you. ”
The friends introduced by Anna are all from the United States, and they also came to participate in the auction this time, and of course they noticed Ruan Jiaojiao.
No matter what the reason is, their attitude towards Ruan Jiaojiao is very good, even if these people, including Anna, are all in their thirties, they still easily accept Ruan Jiaojiao, an oriental doll under twenty.
Among these people, some people are engaged in communication at home, some are engaged in finance at home, and some are from sports families, which belong to celebrities.
When it comes to communication, I have to mention that the Big Brother mobile phone, which has long been popular in the United States, is the earliest mobile phone, a mobile phone as heavy as a brick.
The company of this product has an inseparable relationship with Anna's friend's family, strictly speaking, it is the majority shareholder, and it is very good anyway.
They were talking about the Olympics to be held next year in the Soviet Union, and Ruan Jiaojiao stood aside with a wine glass, occasionally taking a sip, occasionally echoing a few sentences, and talking about her own views.
In short, both sides are interested in maintaining this friendship, and everyone gets along harmoniously and happily.
Before leaving, Ruan Jiaojiao and they all left each other's contact information, and exchanged a few words with the "old friends" of Sunset Country, and also left contact information, and returned with a phone book full of several pages.
