Chapter 837 Encountered an Air Raid

Manuscripts composed by Beethoven, discarded drafts by Leonardo da Vinci, portraits of various famous people, including from the royal family's private collection.

In order to show support for the war and the expenses required to maintain the war, the royal family released a large number of collections.

Bai Xue sat alone under the stage, and when the auction item appeared, her expression became very tangled.

As everyone's bidding drew to a close, when the auctioneer was about to strike the hammer to confirm the deal, she raised the bid and bought the lot with a pitiful expression.

Once, twice, everyone still understood, but when she chose to bid at the last moment every time, and did not give anyone a chance, the people who participated in the auction inevitably felt dissatisfied.

"Wait, why does she start bidding every time at the end? Is this a new Sotheby's rule?" Someone stood up angrily after being snatched away by the "poor and lovely" woman again.

"Have you verified her assets? So far, she has bought nearly 500,000 lots, and we have never seen her."

There are also people who choose to question her identity and property. Seeing the other party's hesitation, she doesn't look like a rich person at all.

"Everyone, the other party is just a representative of the buyer. As for the real buyer, who is an important VIP of Sotheby's, it is not convenient to disclose his identity, and there is no problem with his qualifications!"

The auction was suspended, and the auctioneer explained to everyone and said in a very formal tone; "The other party's lot will be guaranteed by Sotheby's, and the auction will continue."

The auctioneer said this because he knew very well that the sum of all the people present was not as important as the man behind this poor and lovely woman.

Speaking of the name Charlie Lee, Sotheby's is really famous.

Not only because the collections he buys each time are enough for the total income of Sotheby's auctions held throughout the year.

Whenever Sotheby's has any good collections, it only needs a phone call, and the interested party will immediately place an order to send them to the other side of the ocean.

So far, the price difference and freight earned from this alone account for more than 10% of Sotheby's revenue.

Excuse me, does anyone dare to offend such a big benefactor?

Besides, the opponent's card raising did not violate the rules, but it was stuck at the last second every time... Although this kind of practice would inevitably make people feel that it was deliberately targeted in the auction, but who made the man behind the opponent too powerful!

The auction went on as usual, and the rest basically became Bai Xue's one-man show. She didn't know what the boss's preferences were, and she didn't dare to ask.

So I can only rely on the introduction of the auctioneer to understand. With Li Zitao's identity and spending at Sotheby's, I believe that the other party would not dare to deceive himself at will.

It was easy to deceive her, but when the things were delivered to Li Zitao, with that man's character, Sotheby's might be in for a bad luck.

Bai Xue sat at the auction site, under the helpless but envious eyes of everyone, perfectly presented what is meant by 'buy, buy, buy...'

In the general manager's office, the sexy and charming Bello Fiore, the general manager of Sotheby's London, is personally going into battle to satisfy the big benefactor with his service.

Two hours after the auction ended, the locked office door was opened, a wave of heat came out accompanied by the smell of seafood, and Li Zitao looked refreshed.

"Have you bought everything yet?" Arriving at the VIP room, Bai Xue was compensating for fine wine and appreciating the various collections she had bought, accompanied by a treasurer.

"Boss." Hearing Li Zitao's voice, Bai Xue stood up holding the wine glass.

"Relax, we are on vacation!" Li Zitao raised his hand, motioning her to relax and sit down.

Li Zitao's trip to London this time was a secret trip. So far, no one knows his whereabouts except Bai Xue, the personal secretary in the secretary's office, and people from Sotheby's.

No... There is also the beloved His Majesty the King, Li Zitao is planning to visit him this time, and take a look at his lovely baby daughter, Elizabeth.

"Is there a gift for a little girl?" thought 'Elizabeth,

’ Li Zitao decided to choose a suitable gift for her from the collection he bought this time.

This girl is not simple. In the future, she will rule the UK for more than half a century. She is the longest reigning, most respected and popular queen. She is affectionately called "Super Long Standby" by netizens. '

At this time, Li Zitao was already considering the matter of marriage. If the relationship with George VI hadn't been too tense, he would now like to settle this matter.

Aiden...Mason...

After much deliberation, Mason is more suitable. Aiden's personality is too out of character. To put it mildly, he is uninhibited. '

"Pfft!" Li Zitao couldn't help laughing just thinking about it.

He has already considered the issue of candidates, so why is there a sign of a feudal patriarch.

"Free love... Well, I have to think about it." After thinking about it, Li Zitao felt that they really couldn't let them make their own choices.

The ass decides the head. When he is alone, he wants to make decisions for himself. When he becomes a husband, he seems to take the role involuntarily.

Considering that the two little guys are almost 8 years old, from the perspective of Westerners, they will start dating in about four or five years, and it is not too early to think about it.

"Boss, how about this?" Bai Xue found out a set of sterling silver tea sets from many collections. Its previous owner was Queen Victoria.

There is no better gift than to give the Queen something that belongs to the next Queen.

"Very well, wrap it beautifully, use colorful paper, and fill it with all kinds of cute stuffing, stars, origami and so on."

Either don't do it, do your best if you want to do it, and let the other party always remember who this gift came from.

It may appear that Li Zitao is a little utilitarian, but at this point, in his position, this is what he should have thought.

In 20 minutes, the gift was wrapped perfectly, looking formal and cute.

"The car has been arranged, Mr. Li." Sotheby's found him a very popular black car.

Putting on their bowler hats, they lowered their heads and quickly got into the car. Li Zitao and Bai Xue drove in the direction of Windsor Manor.

Just as he was about to leave the city, the ear-piercing air defense siren sounded, and the driver's expression became tense. He gripped the steering wheel with both hands, leaned back and stepped on the accelerator.

Boom, buzz...

The bomb fell on the house on the left. Li Zitao saw with his own eyes that half of the house was blasted from the inside, and stones flew like bullets, and then there was only a roar in his ears.

"Ah~~" When Li Zitao regained his hearing, he heard Bai Xue's scream.

At this moment, she was covering her ears with her hands, curled up and screamed instinctively with fear on her face.
