Chapter 715 Not Interested in Diamonds

?In the Rolls-Royce carriage with classic British charm, gorgeously dressed Emma Watson sat beside Yang Cheng with her arms around her shoulders. Her eyes were always looking out the window, not wanting to give Yang Cheng a good look.

Yang Cheng touched her nose in embarrassment, she couldn't do anything for a while, who made herself feel wronged.

Since he picked up Emma Watson, he tried several times to strike up a conversation, but only got a pretty expressionless face. He could feel Emma's care in dressing up and the importance she attached to meeting him this time, but This indifferent attitude really confused Yang Cheng, how did he offend this little ancestor?

There was no words all the way, when Yang Cheng's car drove into Sotheby's headquarters on New Bond Street, Emma Watson was like a weirdo in disguise, changing her smiling face in a second, her delicate makeup was so charming, she was overwhelmed by this sudden change It made Yang Cheng's heart beat faster suddenly. Before he could react, Emma slapped Yang Cheng coquettishly, "Aren't you going to get out of the car and open the door for me?"

Yang Cheng was confused, was he being teased by this woman?

But the body still obeyed the instructions very sincerely. After getting out of the car, he quickly walked around to Emma's side, opened the door and at the same time bent his arms, and led Emma out. Blanket, similarly, Emma didn't realize that the camera stopped automatically today, and followed Yang Cheng through the VIP channel to quickly enter the venue without giving the flash a chance to light up.

Yang Cheng arrived at the scene almost at a certain point, so when passing through the security gate, there was no congestion. The master of ceremonies came over to guide Yang Cheng and the two into the venue, and presented tonight's auction number plate, No. 8 , is an auspicious number.

The semi-arc-shaped auction hall was crowded with people, and Yang Cheng's seat was naturally the front row in the center. While walking, Yang Cheng lowered her voice and asked in Emma's ear, "Who were you just now?" Are you kidding me?"

Emma heard the words, turned her hair away, and smiled charmingly, "So what?"

Yang Cheng was speechless, if it wasn't for the sake of these old things around him, he really wanted to punish this woman on the spot.

The old antiques are very innocent, they say they can't bear the blame!

The old antiques in Yang Cheng's heart, and the British gentlemen who had already sat down on both sides of the formal aisle, showed the glory of the sunset of the British Empire one by one, full of aristocratic style.

Nodding and smiling politely while walking, no matter if you know each other or not, you have to have the demeanor of an aristocrat.

Soon, the two passed the auction podium and came to the vacant seat in the middle of the first row. The nameplate of Yang Cheng was stuck on the back of the chair. Before sitting down, Yang Cheng quickly looked at the entire auditorium. Much more cheerful, the invited guests whispered in twos and threes. The guests on Yang Cheng's left and right sides looked a little strange, but Yang Cheng didn't know him anyway.

But compared to them, Yang Cheng's rather unique face in the arena is still easy to recognize. The new owner of Liverpool, the young rich man of Chinese origin, is also ranked among the richest people who participated in the auction today. The number one, the first dare not say, the top three cannot escape.

As one of the oldest art auctioneers in the world, Sotheby's was established in London as early as 1744. It has a history of more than 200 years and has a profound heritage. The founder of Sotheby's name is Sam Baker , mainly engaged in book auctions in the early years, and provided trading opportunities for the large-scale collections of outstanding figures in history such as Napoleon and others.

Sotheby's expanded its auction program to include related prints, medals and coins before the end of World War I, when Sotheby's moved to its prestigious location on New Bond Street, Young The land at the foot of Orange has since become Sotheby's London headquarters.

The move to the fashionable avenue also heralds a new century at Sotheby's - paintings and other works of art are finally beginning to outperform books and documents in terms of sales.

It is a very prudent decision to move towards more diversified auction categories, and the key players leading this change are master paintings and sketches. It can be said that those masters who suffered a lot during the Renaissance created Sofu than today's success.

There is no need to go into too much detail about Sotheby's past. Yang Cheng's goal today is very clear. The number one target is the Qianlong Yuxi, which appeared at the finale. Others, such as Ferrari Enzo and small water companies near Wales, as long as the price is right, he will also Don't mind taking it together.

The auction was soon started under the introduction of the host who led the whole process. The auctioneer wearing white gloves appeared on the stage and introduced the first lot, a top-level white diamond weighing 102.34 carats.

The picture of the diamond is displayed on the big screen behind the auctioneer, and the genuine product is also pushed onto the stage with a trolley by the staff, and placed in a glass display cabinet with the highest security level. The photographer carries a camera and takes pictures of the scene The images are simultaneously projected onto the big screen, which is convenient for the audience in the back row to watch.

The auctioneer began the introduction in a cadence, "This diamond is the rarest, most precious, purest, and largest carat white diamond on the market so far. The rough stone was excavated in Botswana, and it was cut and polished by top craftsmen for 6 months. Carved into a round shape best suited for colorless diamonds.

In addition to the fact that the carat is over a hundred and the shape is a round brilliant cut, according to the appraisal of the Gemological Institute of America, the diamond has reached high standards in all aspects, including the clarity with almost no impurities; the color grade is D grade; the classification belongs to For TypeIIA, diamonds are classified according to their "nitrogen content". TypeIIA means that they contain almost no nitrogen, which means that they are extremely pure and crystal clear, which is a rare and good quality.

Ladies and gentlemen, diamonds are forever and forever. This rare high-quality white diamond can leave a legend for every owner. This opportunity is only once, right in front of your eyes.

The starting price is 3 million pounds, and each increase is no less than 100,000 pounds. Now I announce that the auction will begin~”

As the auctioneer's bright voice spread across the corners of the venue, the media reporters ambushing at the end of the venue raised their guns and cannons and pointed them at the stage. The shutter sounded one after another, even overshadowing those ladies who were crazy about diamonds. their exclamation.

Yang Cheng looked at Emma Watson calmly from the corner of her eye, and found that the girl was not at all moved by this superb diamond, but instead glanced disdainfully at the old man whose eyes had fallen into the diamond. A woman, as if to say, 'I have never seen the world'.

Emma didn't say anything, of course Yang Cheng wouldn't take action, he's not stupid, the Queen Mother Lafayette is a loyal lover of diamonds, if he remembers correctly, according to what my mother said, in the history of auctions, the number of carats has exceeded 100 There are only seven D-grade diamonds, but most of them are pear-shaped or emerald-shaped, and none are round-shaped, so this round diamond is even more precious. Any fool knows that these women at the scene will go crazy. But if you don't plan to follow suit, the starting price is already not cheap. After being fired by these crazy women, it is less than 8 figures, and you can't even buy a diamond scum.

Sure enough, after a short silence of one second at the scene, the crazy prelude was kicked off with the cry of "4 million".

The auctioneer blinked and shouted, "4 million, the beautiful lady in the middle bid 4 million pounds, thank you for your support, but I believe this is far from the end, I want to hear a higher price .”

As soon as the voice fell, "5 million~"

"5 million pounds~ Oh my God, I swear this may be the craziest experience in my auction career, 5 million pounds, and this imposing lady on my left is bidding 5 million pounds~"

The auctioneer skillfully mobilized the vanity of all the women in the audience. After only two bids, the journalists and photographers in the back row who were sent to work with their dead wages all breathed rapidly. Qian Lai didn't even bat an eyelid.

Thinking about it, the speed of pressing the shutter has not slowed down at all. These are all news hotspots. Yang Cheng doesn't know these veteran nobles. The person who called for the second time was the wife of a certain real estate agent with the title of lord, an upstart, and a big local tycoon!

At this time, after a few thoughts flashed by, the price had soared to 7.8 million pounds, and the rate of price increase slowed down visibly. Yang Cheng tapped his thigh with the number plate, estimating the final transaction price of this diamond in his heart, Breaking the solitaire transaction record is not a problem at all.

Facts also proved his guess. In the end, this historic top-level round white diamond was won by the wife of the real estate agent who made the second bid at a super high price of 17 million pounds. , That is 17 million cash was spent in the blink of an eye, Sotheby's does not have any mortgage replacement business, so the nobles showed their gentlemanly and ladylike demeanor and sent 'sincere' congratulations.

The auction also ignited the heat because of this diamond, and the next dozen or so lots were sold at prices that exceeded the expectations of the conference. So far, none of them have been unsold.

Yang Cheng sat a little stiffly, the item he was looking forward to still did not appear, so he couldn't help feeling a little bored, tilted his head, and asked Emma who was watching the auction with relish, "You don't want anything? You know, as long as you I won't refuse."

God is sorry, when the diamond came out just now, I don't know who was frightened, afraid that Emma would ask for it unwisely, but now that the limelight has passed, she started talking nonsense again.

Emma gave him an angry look, "Why don't you discuss with the real estate agent's wife and buy that diamond for me?"

Emma, ​​who saw through Yang Cheng's thoughts, came back unceremoniously, choking Yang Cheng speechless, only knowing to pat the back of her head and laugh.

Well, Emma didn't mean to make things difficult, Yang Cheng's embarrassment amused her, she smiled with a 'puchi', and pointed her green finger towards the stage, that's all, you can't let me accompany you here for nothing .

Yang Cheng looked suspiciously at Emma's white fingers. An exquisite green vial was placed on the display stand. Yang Cheng knew what it was without even looking at the introduction on the big screen. Love - rose essential oil.
