Just when Jin was dumbfounded by Mr. Sobu's risqué operation, Li Xiucheng was attracted by the glass box held by a waiter on the stage.
At this time, there were many waiters standing on the stage, and all of them were holding pieces of auction items in their hands. They could be photographed on such an important occasion. These auction items were all priceless antique collections.
But what Li Xiucheng noticed was a necklace in the glass box held by the waiter, an emerald green necklace set with a thumb-sized ruby.
Even though it was a certain distance from the front desk, his super vision allowed him to see clearly. The ruby had a pure luster, the color inside was rich and soft, and the chain was made up of about ten large jade beads connected in series.
These beads are also extraordinary, transparent and green inside and out.
The ruby, emerald chain, and diamond-encrusted clasp make the whole necklace look extremely luxurious and beautiful.
Looking at it, Li Xiucheng instantly thought of the necklace he bought for his wife before. The difference was really huge.
He couldn't help but tilted his head and asked: "Jin, is the ruby necklace in the glass box the heart of the elf?"
"It's the Elf Stone Necklace!"
Jin glanced at Li Xiucheng in surprise. He didn't expect that he would be interested in this necklace at this time, so he planned to explain.
First asked: "You know Alexandra Feodorovna, right?"
"I don't know." Li Xiucheng shook his head. The name was so long that it gave him a headache, but he would definitely remember it deeply.
At this time, Zhao Yimo, who was on his right side, quietly continued: "She is the queen of Nicholas II! A poor woman! This necklace also symbolizes the sweet love between the two."
Seeing Zhao Yimo speak, Jin smiled and closed his mouth, giving the opportunity to the little girl.
Li Xiucheng looked at the stands. Mr. Sobu took the microphone and started chattering. He then looked at Zhao Yimo calmly.
"I know that Nicholas II didn't end well! What about the sweet love you mentioned?"
"The family was wiped out in the end. This is not a good ending. But it does not affect the love between the two." Zhao Yimo's eyes fell on the necklace. She had to say that the necklace was really beautiful. She didn't like wearing it very much. As for jewelry, I couldn’t help but be surprised when I saw this elf stone necklace.
"Alexandra is the granddaughter of the Eagle Queen, who met 16-year-old Nikolai at her cousin's wedding when she was 12 years old.
The two had outstanding looks and could be called a golden boy. They fell in love at first sight, and then fell in love secretly. Later, they got married and had children, and their family life was happy. This necklace was given to Alexandra when Nicholas was still the crown prince. A token of love, it is also Alexandra’s favorite piece of jewelry. "
Li Xiucheng nodded: "If you don't talk about anything else, as far as marriage is concerned, the emperor's mother and son were really lucky to be able to fall in love freely and get married at that time."
"Yeah, it's a pity that after the October Revolution, their family was imprisoned and then executed secretly!" Zhao Yimo sighed, then looked at Li Xiucheng and said: "What? You want to take a photo of it? Are you planning to give it to Xiao Xiao?" Sister Meng?”
Li Xiucheng nodded: "Yes!"
Zhao Yimo tilted his head and raised his eyebrows: "But you also said that the fate of Nicholas II's family was not very good, aren't you jealous?"
Li Xiucheng smiled: "As you said just now, as far as marriage is concerned, the two of them are happy."
All misfortunes come from your own powerlessness!
After two lifetimes, he believed in himself even more!
Zhao Yimo nodded, looked at the necklace with envy, and then stopped talking.
She likes it too, but it is destined not to belong to her!
"Everyone, thank you for listening to all the nonsense I said. Let's get back to business and enter the auction.
First, we will auction ten precious cultural relics, then a secret auction of company shares, and the last item will be this elf stone necklace used to raise funds for charity.
Now, let’s bring the auctioneer on stage! "
Mr. Soub's voice suddenly rose eight degrees in the loudspeaker. Li Xiucheng looked up and saw him retreating to the seat at the front desk and sitting down. Then a man in a tuxedo suit with a goatee on his chin came to the end. On the auction table in front.
Under everyone's attention, Mustache picked up the wooden hammer on the table and hit it heavily on the table.
Bang~
"Everyone, the auction begins now. First of all, our first item is an extraterrestrial meteorite weighing 10 kilograms. It was found near the sinkhole area in Siberia. According to the research of the famous collector, Basilova, it is concluded that this The meteorite was discovered 300 years ago...
Its base price is US$1 million, and each price increase must not be less than US$50,000.
Now, please hold up the number plate you got when you entered the hotel and quote your price, but I want to reiterate our rules again.
All auction items must pay a deposit of one-tenth of the auction price at the end of the auction, and then transfer the remaining funds within 24 hours. If it is overdue, not only will the bidding results be invalid, but the deposit will not be returned!
Now, please feel free to bid! "
No one had much reaction to this rule. After all, bidding means using money to rob something. If you rob something but don't have enough money to pay for it, you are acting like a hooligan and must be punished.
It is understandable that the organizers do this to protect their own interests!
Following the auctioneer's order, someone immediately stood up holding a sign and bidding.
"1000000!"
"1.1 million!"
"1.2 million!"
"1.25 million!"
"...."
In the end, Lot 1 was auctioned off for NT$2 million.
Li Xiucheng made no bid and watched the whole process coldly.
To be honest, buying such a large meteorite at this price is very profitable. If it were left to future generations, it would be worth at least tens of millions of dollars.
However, now he has a lot of money but not enough rice knife, so he can't waste the money on it.
Therefore, even if the transaction prices of the next few auction items were far lower than the actual prices in his opinion, he would make a profit if he bought them, but he still did not sell them.
Just like that, about an hour later, all ten warm-up lots were finally successfully auctioned.
And Li Xiucheng could tell from the auctioneer's bright smile that although the transaction prices of these lots seemed low to him, they made a lot of money to the organizer.
Then there was a ten-minute intermission, and the auctioneer's wooden hammer rang again.
Bang~
"ladies and gentlemen!
Now, we are about to enter the most important part of our day!
The company's shares were split and auctioned secretly.
Dear friends and guests, today we are going to auction up to 20 companies, each of which has substantial fixed assets and has great influence in its industry.
Now due to national policy needs, these companies will belong to individuals, maybe to you!
I believe the upcoming auction will be hard work, but it will also be an exciting time.
Are you ready?
Now, the auction begins! "
