Chapter 1016 1001. Eva Gem (25)

In the white world, people love ruby ​​and regard it as a representative of love, passion and noble character, a symbol of brilliance.

After this gemstone was discovered, the earliest European Gemological Association designated ruby ​​as the "July birthstone", and July is a symbol of nobility, love, and benevolence. Many people choose to get married in July.

Of course, Wang Bo knows that Europeans choose to get married in July because the weather in July is the best, warm but not hot, windy but not violent.

However, if this tradition continues, July will have a special meaning, and the value of birthstones in July will naturally rise.

So far, at the weddings of European royal families, the royal families of various countries still use rubies as witnesses of marriage. For example, at the British royal wedding that ended earlier, Prince William's chest ribbon was equipped with a chicken blood ruby, while the central bud of the flower held by Princess Katie was decorated with pink rubies.

"This set of ruby ​​jewelry has not yet been named. According to the usual practice, its first owner enjoys the official naming right. All distinguished guests who cherish the other half of their lives, please bid!"

"The starting price is one million yuan! The minimum price increase each time must not be less than one hundred thousand yuan!"

As soon as the white gloves quoted the price, a middle-aged man in the front row picked it up: "Two million!"

"Two and a half million!"

"Two million and six hundred thousand!"

"Two million and seven hundred thousand!"

"three million!"

The price soared very quickly, two million to three million, in just half a minute.

Ye Qipeng smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Wang, it may be difficult for you to win this set of jewelry today. This auction company is really good at using the naming rights to attract customers."

The right to name jewelry is more attractive to women than the jewelry itself!

Because of the rules of power struggle in the world, it is too difficult for a woman to leave her name in history through the official system. Of course, women like Pan Jinlian and Ma don't count. What I'm talking about here is good reputation, not infamy.

But if they can name a set of jewelry, then they can achieve their own goals, especially if the set of jewelry is still valuable, and their names will spread more widely in the future.

For example, the most famous "Carmen-Lucia Stone" in the history of ruby, Carmen-Lucia is the wife of a jewelry collector Peter Barker, and the two are very affectionate.

When she heard about this ruby ​​for the first time in 2002, she yearned for it very much, hoping to have a chance to meet her once. But illness quickly took her life - she died of cancer in 2003.

Her beloved husband Pete Barker was very sad. In order to fulfill his wife's last wish, he bought the gem with a large sum of money, named it after his wife, and finally donated it to the museum.

Now there are still things related to this incident on the projection screen. Peter Barker said in an interview after buying Ruby: Love never waits. This is the word above, which stimulates these men.

Wang Bo understands all this, but he is bound to get this set of jewelry. Eva likes this jewelry very much. This is the first time he has seen Eva like a piece of jewelry so much.

The price climbed from three million to five million, and the first auction climax was about to occur.

Wang Bo didn't move until the price rose to 7.5 million, and when almost everyone quit, he suddenly raised the sign in his hand: "Eight million!"

In the final competition for this ruby ​​jewelry, the price was increased by one hundred thousand and one hundred thousand, and he raised it by five hundred thousand at one time, which was a bit shocking.

Those who can reach Christie’s autumn auction must be the rich, but the money of the rich is not printed by the money printing machine. They spend generously, but they are more cautious when it is not necessary.

Needless to say, now that the auction item has reached the final stage, it is an unnecessary stage.

After Wang Bo gave the price of 8 million, it attracted the attention of many people. Some people in the front row looked back and saw the demure Eva next to him with stunned expressions.

Another handsome young man applauded Wang Bo and congratulated him with a smile on his face.

The middle-aged man who offered 7.5 million shook his head and withdrew from the competition. He suddenly raised the price by 500,000, and the opponent was a hot-blooded young man. He felt that there was no need to continue the competition.

White Gloves made three quotations, and the set of jewelry belonged to Wang Bo.

Because this lot is obviously linked to love, the people at the scene cooperated very well and applauded. For these white people, love and chivalry are always their favorite things.

Wang Bo and Eva stood up hand in hand to express their gratitude. Adams-Georgetown came on stage and asked coquettishly: "Sir, now you have the right to name this set of ruby ​​jewelry, please name this set of jewelry .”

Wang Bodao: "My fiancée's name is Irina Sharapova, and I want to name her Eva."

There was applause again, and several people around him got up to shake hands with him and congratulate Eva.

The auction of ruby ​​jewelry is over, and the first small climax is also over.

Some of the auction items that appeared later were of greater value, but they did not receive as much attention.

After a Chinese auction item came out, Ye Qipeng and Yang Zhilong straightened their backs.

This auction item is called Fu Weng Yunlong Huangyu brush washer, which was actually used by Huang Tingjian, a famous calligrapher and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. Of course, he used it many times during his lifetime, but this is the brush washer that has been handed down to this day and is still used in his later years.

Yang Zhilong introduced to Wang Bo: "This brush wash is carved from topaz. You can see that it has been influenced by Tuqin. It has a waxy luster on the surface, and the jade surface is mottled with ocher stripes. It is a standard topaz. The result of nurturing."

Even if this brush washer has no background culture bonus, it is very good from the outside. It is in the shape of a dragon boat as a whole, with various lines. The cutting skills are quite delicate, the knife is powerful, and the lines are smooth. .

"We came here for this national treasure. This brush originally belonged to a great Confucian, but it was snatched away by an American when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China. We want to snatch it back." Ye Qipeng said solemnly.

After showing this brush washer, the auction company began to bid. The starting price was directly 6 million, and each increase should not be less than 200,000.

It is certain that Chinese people will come to buy this work of art.

But the brush washing was indeed very valuable, and some white people raised their placards one after another to increase the price, and the price soared step by step, reaching eight million, which was the price when Wang Bo bought the ruby ​​jewellery.

Yang Zhilong raised the price, and someone followed the price. When the price reached 10 million New Zealand dollars, Ye Qipeng shook his head and said regretfully, "Today we can only miss, we have reached the reserve price."

Eva raised her eyebrows at him and gave him a hint. Wang Bo's heart moved, and he said, "Continue to increase the price. The one below is mine. Let's take it together!"
