At two o'clock in the afternoon, the auction preview officially started.
The preview will last two hours before the private auction begins at 4 p.m.
Those invited to participate in this private auction were top collectors and billionaires, as well as representatives of some top cultural institutions and family foundations.
More than half of the buyers are wealthy Russians and collectors, all of whom are wealthy.
As soon as the preview started, many buyers flocked in and entered the banquet hall on the top floor of the Plaza Hotel.
At this time, it has been arranged into an exhibition and auction venue.
In this luxurious banquet hall, there are many solid wood easels of different sizes.
Each easel holds a beautiful oil painting for all buyers to appreciate and identify.
Next to each painting, there is an exquisite notice board with an introduction to the corresponding painting.
These paintings mainly feature works by famous Russian painters.
The largest number are paintings by the art master Fei Xin.
In addition, there are works by Russian art masters such as Repin and Serov.
Then there are some works by European and American painters, but the number is much smaller.
These include works by Impressionist masters Renoir, Sisley and others.
In addition to numerous paintings, there are other antique artworks in the banquet hall.
Including various sculptures, ornaments, top-grade jewelry, etc.
They are either placed on the floor or displayed in bulletproof glass display cases for all buyers to appreciate and identify.
Providing services on-site are employees of Feilong Zaitian Exploration Company.
There are also some employees from Christie's auction house who are here to support.
Outside the exhibition hall, security personnel on high alert can be seen everywhere, guarding the exhibition hall.
Even the roof of the Plaza Hotel was guarded by armed security personnel to prevent anyone from sneaking in from the roof.
Since this preview was very short and small in scale, Xiao Ran did not hold any ceremony.
Invited buyers can come in and visit as long as they identify themselves at the door of the banquet hall.
Each buyer can only bring a maximum of three followers, and they are subject to security checks.
There is no limit to whether the entourage is a beautiful woman, an art dealer or an appraisal expert.
Not long after the preview started, twenty or thirty buyers gathered in the banquet hall.
Coupled with their entourage and staff, the place was already crowded.
in the crowd.
Xiao Ran and Elaine, who was wearing a formal dress, were greeting many guests, communicating with each other, etc.
For him, the collectors and wealthy people who came to participate in the auction today are all investors worth winning over, so he cannot neglect them.
At this moment, Steve and two buyers walked into the banquet hall.
They were two super-rich Russians. Although they had never met, everyone knew them.
In addition to being super rich, the two men are also the owners of two top teams, but in different sports.
Seeing them coming in, Xiao Ran immediately took Yi Lian to greet them.
When he came closer, Xiao Ran nodded and said hello to Steve, and then looked at the two Russian super-rich people.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Roman, Mr. Mikhail, I'm Sean, nice to meet you."
"Welcome to attend this preview. There are many top Russian antiques here. I believe you will gain something."
Upon hearing his words, the eyes of the two Russian super-rich men lit up.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Sean, nice to meet you too. It seems you know us."
Abu said with a smile.
Before he finished speaking, Mikhail also said hello to Xiao Ran.
As they spoke, the two parties touched each other's elbows instead of shaking hands.
"Both of them are world-famous super rich people. I have been famous for a long time, but I just didn't have the opportunity to get to know each other before."
Xiao Ran said politely, complimenting the two super-rich Russians.
Next, he introduced Elaine.
Due to the special situation at the moment, Elaine only nodded to them and said hello, but did not come forward to hug them.
After getting to know each other, Xiao Ran took these three super rich people into the exhibition hall.
While walking, Abu said expectantly:
"Sean, I heard from Steve that you have two real Tsar Fabergé eggs in your hand."
"The two Faberge eggs are the Tsar Sapphire Pendant Egg and the Necessary Egg."
"I watched the video of you discovering these two Tsarist Easter eggs online. These two Tsarist Easter eggs are truly beautiful and unparalleled."
"I am very interested in these two Tsar Fabergé eggs and would like to purchase them for collection. Do you intend to transfer them?"
Xiao Ran turned his head to look at the super rich man, and then shook his head.
"I'm very sorry, Roman, I do have these two exquisite Tsar Fabergé eggs, but I am not planning to sell them."
"I have given the Tsar Sapphire Pendant Easter Egg to Elaine, and now it belongs to her. I am going to collect the necessary Tsar Egg for myself."
"If I find a lost Tsarist egg again in the future, I may choose to sell it, and I will notify you as soon as possible."
"Although these two Tsarist eggs are not for sale, you can enjoy them carefully. They are currently displayed in the exhibition hall."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed towards the rostrum in the banquet hall.
On both sides of the rostrum, there is a brightly lit bulletproof glass display cabinet.
In the two bulletproof glass display cases, there is a priceless Czar Faberge egg on display.
Following the direction of his finger, Abu and Mikhail immediately looked towards the rostrum.
The moment they saw the two display cabinets, the eyes of these two Russian super-rich men suddenly became extremely hot.
There is a strong possessiveness in their eyes, full of greed, and even a hint of madness!
As Russia's super rich, they are all called tsars in their respective fields and circles.
In fact, why don’t they want to become czars and the supreme ruler of Russia?
Mikhail, in particular, is full of ambitions for the Russian presidential throne.
And he also took action and participated in the Russian election, but ended in failure!
Can these two ambitious Russian super-rich people not be moved by the Fabergé eggs that symbolize the power of the Czar?
Unfortunately, Xiao Ran had no intention of selling these two Tsar eggs.
As a result, they can only watch with greed.
When looking towards the rostrum, a trace of disappointment flashed across Abu's eyes.
"Sean, do you want to stop thinking about it? If you are willing to sell these two Tsar eggs, my offer will definitely satisfy you."
Abu still wants to fight for it.
However, he still failed to do so.
"I don't want to miss a Russian national treasure like the Tsar's egg. This has nothing to do with the price."
"Roman, although you can't buy these two Tsarist eggs, you can bid for other top Russian antiques."
"There are Repin, Serov, and many Feixin's paintings here. I believe you will find something you like."
Upon hearing this, Abu and Mikhail, who were a little disappointed, their eyes lit up.
"Let's go and admire the two Tsarist eggs first. They are Russia's national treasures and must not be missed."
"Then I will appreciate the paintings of masters such as Repin and Feixin. Repin is my favorite painter. He is the greatest painter in Russia."
With that said, Abu and Mikhail stepped out in unison and walked straight to the rostrum in the banquet hall.
It's clear that these two super-rich men can't wait.
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then followed with Elaine and Steve.
During the march, many collectors and wealthy people in the banquet hall kept coming to say hello.
In particular, many Russian collectors and billionaires would come to say hello to Abu and Mikhail and have a few polite conversations.
As for what they said, since it was in Russian, Xiao Ran couldn't understand a word, so he had no way of knowing.
After a while, two Russian super-rich people finally came to the rostrum.
At this time, the two bulletproof glass display cases displaying Tsarist eggs were already crowded with visitors.
Most of these visitors are Russians, and everyone is full of enthusiasm.
Seeing Abu and the others coming over, the guys surrounding the Tsar Sapphire Pendant Easter Egg display cabinet immediately gave up two places.
Not only that, they were still tutting in admiration.
"Good afternoon, Roman, Mikhail, come here and take a look at this Tsarist egg. It is so beautiful!"
Before he finished speaking, Abu and Mikhail quickly stepped forward and arrived in front of the bulletproof glass display cabinet.
The moment they saw the Tsar Sapphire pendant Easter egg in the showcase, the two Russian super-rich people were stunned in unison.
Their eyes quickly turned red, full of obsession!
