Shenhao starts from system downtime

Chapter 1090 The Money World
"Hello, everyone. I'm Melu Haimer, chief auctioneer of Christie's auction house. It's a great honor to stand here and provide bidding services for everyone. I hope everyone present tonight can have a good night."

After the chairman and president of Christie's Auction House stepped down from the stage, a middle-aged woman in a white lady's suit stepped onto the auction stage. She first introduced herself to the guests at the scene. During this period, There is always a gentle smile on her face that makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"Now let's invite the first item in the lot - the Cartier sapphire jewelry set!"

"This lot is designed by Cartier, with a total weight of 127.87 carats royal sapphire and diamond jewelry set. The starting price is 150 million euros, and the initial price per lot should not be less than 5 euros."

After a short self-introduction, the chief auctioneer of Christie's officially started tonight's auction. With the other party's introduction, on the huge screen behind him, the actual auction of the first lot was also displayed The picture, from the whole of the lot to the details of the lot, showed the lot to many guests at the scene and those who watched the auction on the Internet in an all-round way without dead ends.

This Cartier sapphire jewelry set has four parts, which are sapphire necklace, sapphire earrings, sapphire ring and sapphire bracelet. There are two earrings and rings. The whole set of jewelry looks very luxurious and valuable in the eyes of ordinary people. City-linking diamonds can be found everywhere in this set of jewelry, they can only be reduced to embellishment of those sapphires.

But the price is not cheap. The starting price alone is as high as 150 million euros. According to the current international exchange rate, if 150 yuan of euros is converted into soft sister coins, it is nearly 1100 million soft sister coins.

At the beginning of the auction, there was a lot with a reserve price of tens of millions, which aroused Lin Qian's interest in the upcoming auction.

After all, strictly speaking, this was the first time in Lin Qian's life that he participated in such a formal and grand auction. As for the two bids for Koenigsegg and the naming rights of variety shows, they were not real auctions.

"160 million euros!"

"Mr. No. 877 offered 160 million yuan, and the next bid is 165 million yuan. Anyone follow?"

"170 million euros!"

"This is a phone offer from outside the market. Now the price has come to 170 million, and the next order is 180 million."

"180 million euros!"

……

Under the control of the chief auctioneer of Christie's auction house, many guests at the scene began to bid for the first lot, and every time someone bid, the price on the giant screen behind the auction stage would change.

Today's annual boutique auction held by Christie's auction house has as many as a thousand guests. This is not counting the many rich people who were not able to attend the scene in person. I'm afraid it will be as high as nearly ten thousand people.

Nearly [-] super rich people with a net worth of over [-] million or even billions or even hundreds of billions gathered together, and there were only [-] lots at the auction tonight. One can imagine how intense the atmosphere will be.

Jewelry, for women, always has a huge attraction, and this attraction will not fade as women grow older. For men, jewelry is undoubtedly the best weapon for them to pursue women. Whether it's for your own wife or for someone else's old...

Ahem, it will always get twice the result with half the effort.

In addition, truly rare jewelry not only maintains its value very well, but also has a huge room for appreciation. Therefore, after the auction of the first item tonight started, the asking price on the spot kept going up and down, breaking through from 150 million euros to nearly 250 million euros in a blink of an eye. It was photographed by a woman from the Middle East at a price of 275 million euros.

The first lot heated up the atmosphere of the scene a little bit, and then the rest of the lots began to appear, from the graffiti work "Show Me Monet" by the modern graffiti artist Banksy to the Qing Dynasty Qianlong powder green glaze relief jar , from the west to the east, a large number of precious works of art appeared one after another, until two works of Picasso with female subjects created 26 years apart were put up for auction at the same time, which completely ignited the atmosphere in the auction hall.

"boom!"

"Congratulations to Mr. No. 132 in the venue for successfully bidding two works by Picasso at a price of 3500 million euros!"

As the gavel fell in the hands of Christie's chief auctioneer, applause rang out for the first time in tonight's auction room. Although the applause was a bit sparse, it still showed the excitement of the auction just now.

"As expected of being the chief auctioneer of Christie's Auction House, you really have some skills."

Seeing the growing emotions of the guests, Lin Qian couldn't help but say with emotion.

"Of course, auctioneers who can manage auctions of this scale have always been favored by the world's top auction houses. Don't listen to her introduction and just say that she is the chief auctioneer. She is also the vice president of Christie's auction house, and she also holds a certain share of the vice president."

Audrey Arnott, who was sitting next to Lin Qian, heard Lin Qian's emotion, she immediately leaned towards Lin Qian and explained to Lin Qian.

"If I were the president of Christie's Auction House, I would definitely not let such a talent slip through my fingers. If such a person ran under the banner of the opponent, it would definitely be a huge loss for our side. .”

Lin Qian nodded slightly, not surprised by what Audrey Arnott said just now.

"That's right, because auctioneers of this level have their own resources. When some big collectors want to auction their precious collections, they sometimes appoint a certain auctioneer to conduct the auction. After all, if the same lot is in the hands of an excellent auctioneer and a mediocre auctioneer, there will be a big difference in the final auction price."

Audrey Arnott echoed with a smile.

Just as Lin Qian and Audrey Arnott were chatting in low voices, suddenly an angry voice sounded from beside him.

"1000 million euros!"

The voice was very close, and both Lin Qian and Audrey Arnott were familiar with this voice.

The two looked at the reputation, and saw that the person who shouted out 1000 million euros just now was none other than Xu Tian who was sitting next to them.

"Okay, Mr. No. 696 bid 1000 million euros, and the lower price is 1020 million euros. Is there anyone..."

"Oh!"

"The gentleman from number 988 offered 1080 million euros!"

Christie's chief auctioneer on the auction stage maintained full enthusiasm from the beginning to the end. Her eyes just focused on this place, and before she finished speaking, her eyes turned to other places.

"1200 million euros!"
