Chapter 1444 Quadruple Girls
The boss here is not to be bullied by others. Many people look at that guy gloatingly at this time. That guy is a businessman in a coal mine in this area. He started his fortune by taking advantage of the rising energy prices. A few years can be regarded as a small fortune, worth tens of millions of dollars, but it is not a joke to have such an entertainment venue in such a city, people like you want to play wild here Seeing his own ability, two big men soon came and dragged this guy out. Although it was not the first time to deal with guests, it still opened the eyes of the people present. Li Cong narrowed his eyes. Let's think about it carefully, the boss's power is not small if he dares to attack a billionaire, maybe he should get in touch with this boss, but he has no foundation at the moment, and the boss probably won't see him of. m (Please use the pinyin domain name of this site to visit us.)
"Everyone, what happened just now is that we were wrong. We did things a little loosely, which hurt everyone's safety, so our boss decided to take out one of our private collections here for everyone to bid for." A beautiful woman came up on the stage. Miss Russia, although Zhang is very beautiful, but the vulgarity on her body can be seen at a glance. Can your boss's private collection catch up with Lao Tzu's life? This was an idea that came into the minds of Fatty Zhou and Li Cong at the same time. I wonder if my brothers have enough money, how much money do you have in your collection?
"I don't think there is such a good thing in this place." Fatty Zhou said disdainfully, and Li Cong somewhat agreed. Even if this place was given to him for free, he didn't think it was a good thing. The guy next to him laughed when he heard this. It seems that these two people don't understand anything.
"Hehe, both of you. The boss here is a person with absolute hands and eyes. You two are here today. In the past, there would be no private collections of the boss. Let me just say one thing. The year before last, there was nothing here. A diamond egg from the Russian royal family was released." The guy said mysteriously, everyone knows about this diamond egg, so the boss here can get it?
Easter eggs are a symbol of health, beauty, strength and abundance for Russians. This is because easter eggs are related to traditional Russian religious customs, and they are a must for some religious festivals. Especially during Easter, it is an important celebration tool for believers. People treat Easter eggs like icons and patron saints and keep them at home. Russians also greet new little lives with Easter eggs. Russian jewelry has a relatively long history. The first royal Easter egg was born on Easter in 1885. At that time, in order to comfort the queen Maria who married from Denmark, Tsar Alexander III specially ordered an exquisite egg from Faberge, a royal jewelry design company, and gave it to the queen as an Easter gift. Faberge used his own ingenuity to turn the ordinary easter egg into a gorgeous legend.
1886. Faberge received the highest reward a jeweler can get: being named "Royal Jeweler". In 1885, he received that famous order: the Tsar ordered him to make an Easter egg for the Empress.
1885 is the 20th anniversary of the ascension of Tsar Alexander III of Russia. On this special Easter,
Alexander III wanted to prepare a special holiday gift for his beloved wife, Empress Maria Feodorovna. Alexander III summoned a young jewelry designer, Faberge. Faberge was chosen by the Tsar because the young man's works had once attracted Maria's attention. On Easter morning. Faberge presents Alexander III with a simple-looking Easter egg. But to everyone's surprise, there is an egg made of gold inside the white enamel outer eggshell. Inside the egg is a small golden hen, and there is a mini crown inlaid with diamonds in the belly of the golden hen. and a miniature egg made of rubies. Several layers of "tricks" hidden in a small Easter egg brought an incomparable surprise to the Queen. Maria couldn't put it down for Faberge's gift. Alexander III, who spent a lot of money to make a smile on his face, immediately issued an order requiring Faberge to design an Easter egg every year as a tribute. And it is required that each egg must be unique and must make the queen happy. Exquisite craftsmanship coupled with an inherent quality of artistic originality. Ling Faberge borrowed creative inspiration from the extravagant court life, and was able to meet the challenge year after year. He designed 50 unique Easter egg art masterpieces for the Russian tsars and queens of the two dynasties. Since then, Faberge has become the royal artist of the Russian court, and he devoted half of his life to serving the tsar.
A coronation egg set off by the carriage model is exquisitely conceived and gorgeously crafted. The Faberge egg has raised the art of jewelry to the highest level of decorative art since the Renaissance. At the Paris World Expo in 2019, the Tsar's Egg was exhibited publicly for the first time, which surprised the judges, and Faberge's reputation spread far and wide throughout Europe. Faberge has become synonymous with fashion and nobility. Owning a Faberge product is not only for appreciation, but also a status symbol. The nobles competed with each other, and almost every personal item had to go through the hands of Faberge before it could be called a treasure. Whenever the tsar and queen visited or toured around Russia, they always carried a box full of Faberge jewelry with them, so that they could be given to others as gifts at the appropriate time. By the time Nicholas II came to the throne in 1896, most of the gifts from the Russian Tsar came from Faberge.
With such close ties to the decadent Romanov dynasty, the Faberge eggs were initially undervalued. Before he fled, Faberge's son Agison was captured by the revolutionaries and then temporarily released to help the new regime assess the value of confiscated royal jewels and gemstones. But Agathon was locked up again because they found it difficult to sell the jewels for the price he said.
The heads of the Moscow Kremlin munitions factory did their best to preserve the precious artwork - even risking execution. But between 1930 and 1933, 14 Tsarist Easter eggs were sold and shipped out of Russia. The first items to be sold were taken out by ambassadors sent to Paris and London. The man who managed to get most of the Faberge Easter eggs was Armand Hammer. He is very famous in America. He was a successful entrepreneur, the president of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, and a personal friend of Lenin, whose father was the founder of the U.S. government. Be aware of the oblivion of these cultural treasures. Armand Hammer, an outstanding entrepreneur and social philanthropist, brought 10 easter eggs to the United States in the early 1930s. Han Mo started a business and worked hard to promote these Easter eggs. But in that era of economic downturn, even the most powerful American financiers encountered a big crisis. A friend of Hanmo once said sarcastically: "There is no doubt that these Faberge eggs are very beautiful, but are they edible?"
In 1931, Han Mo came to New York with thousands of Faberge artworks to sell them for the new Russian regime. But at that time, everyone had no money. The Great Depression, no one was interested in these works of art. Until Han Mo suddenly thought of selling these treasures in department stores. He took them across North America, coast to coast, finding the local great mall in every major city he passed. Brag about these works of art to their manager, tell how he discovered these treasures, and assure them that they will be sought after.
In the United States, there were five major early Faberge collectors. Although, at the auction house at first. Each Faberge egg can only fetch $4 or $5, but over the decades, these eggs have come to be regarded as one of the most valuable artistic treasures. Now, the price of each easter egg is in the millions of dollars.
In the palace of the Romanov dynasty. There have been thousands of Faberge art treasures. Today, most of these treasures are scattered in the hands of collectors or museums around the world. There are a total of 50 Tsar Faberge Easter eggs. Now only 10 are still in the Kremlin collection, and 8 are missing.
Except for St. Petersburg headquarters. Faberge has workshops in Moscow, Odessa, and Kiev, as well as a branch in London. In its heyday, Faberge had as many as 5 employees and was the leading jewelry company in Russia. At this time, Faberge has shown outstanding management skills. Due to too many orders, he invited top craftsmen from all over the world and let them serve the Faberge factory together. He himself is responsible for setting goals for the company, providing designs, and producing product catalogs. Therefore, although Faberge's name has been equated with the luxurious and exquisite jewelry of the Tsarist Empire, in fact, none of the works were made by his own hands. The Tsar's Egg is also the result of collective cooperation: first, after detailed planning in the early stage, the sketches and models are completed; then, goldsmiths, silversmiths, glaze craftsmen, jewelry craftsmen, jade craftsmen, and masons discuss and synthesize, and each come up with their own ingenuity , and then assigned to Faberge's factories for processing.
After the fall of the Romanov dynasty in 1918, Faberge's property was confiscated and some were looted. Fabergé and his family left Russia on the last diplomatic train to Riga, but little did they know that they would never return to their beloved homeland.
Shortly after the revolution, the properties of the Romanov dynasty were confiscated by the new government. Gold, silver, jewels and portraits that formerly belonged to the royal family, including most of the Easter eggs, were recorded one by one, packed and shipped to the Kremlin military factories. Some easter eggs were lost when the palace was ransacked. The only Easter egg not found at the time was the Lord St. Georges egg, the last one Faberge made. The Empress Dowager received this gift in the Crimea in St. Petersburg in 1916. She never returned to St. Petersburg, and when the British cruisers hit there, Maria withdrew. She took the egg and other valuables with her and fled from Yalta to the British Empire on the British warship Marlborough. Lord St. George's egg has also become her most cherished egg.
On Lenin's order, all the jewels and eggs were sent to Moscow. In the passages of the dark storerooms of the Kremlin munitions factories, some treasures were lost and no one knows where they are now. There, the wicker boxes containing the eggs are still preserved, unopened, with Kremlin troops guarding them. But when Stalin came to power, Lenin's efforts to protect Russia's cultural heritage were dispelled. In exchange for Western economic support for his new regime, Stalin exchanged these precious Russian royal relics. The jewels were rediscovered elsewhere in 1927. for the new regime. They think it is most natural to exchange these jewels for financial support. So these treasures were taken out, appraised, and finally sold to the West.
The value of the easter egg itself is not bad, and because of its preciousness. It's not easy to get it. It's really not easy for the boss to find this thing.
And this guy also revealed that he auctioned off the very precious rose egg in the egg. In 1895, the Russian Tsar Nicholas II gave his wife a rose egg. The first easter egg Faberge designed for the new queen was a strawberry red rosebud egg. There was also a cupid's arrow inserted in the egg, implying the coming of the god of love and happiness. The surprise inside the egg is a golden rosebud, symbolizing the unswerving love of Nicholas II and his wife. Rose yellow is considered the most noble color in Germany. This easter egg can also ease the homesickness of the young queen. And there is a diamond-studded tiara inside the golden bud, which symbolizes the beginning of Alexandra's new life in Russia.
Just when the two of them were thinking about easter eggs, the people above had already kicked off the things to be auctioned, and the things above made Li Cong and Fatty Zhou dumbfounded, damn it. There are actually four people on it, Zhang's identical quadruplets, and each of the four charming people, even Li Cong who is used to seeing beautiful women can't help but feel a little tempted at the moment, such a thing like this is rare in a century See you soon. This boss is definitely not a simple character, such things can be found, this guy left a deep impression on Li Cong's heart.
Scientists have said that the ratio of maternal twins is 90:1, and the ratio of triplets is 81:1. Mothers who give birth to quadruplets are even rarer, with a birth ratio of 7290:1. By birth probability. There will be one case of quadruplets with different combinations of men and women for every 705,000 births in the world, and more than 3.525 million births of all-male or all-female quadruplets may occur. But it is even more rare for Zhang Cheng to have such beautiful quadruplets. It must be at least a one in ten million chance.
"What's going on here. Isn't this a gift that the boss wants to give to the President of the Republic? How could it be put up for auction? These stunners are not at ordinary prices. It is said that the President likes it very much. How could he Is this kind of thing allowed to happen? What happened or what happened???" There was such a voice around, the people here are all dignitaries, so there is no need to be taboo so much, these four girls also At the age of ten years old, they even have the same eye-catching movements. Anyone present will definitely remember it if they have seen it once. Since it is the plaything of that Mr. President, it must be that one if it is put up for auction. What is the conflict between Mr. President and the boss here?
"These four beautiful girls are what our boss brought out to appease everyone's anger this time. The low price is 1 million RMB, and each increase should not be less than 100,000 RMB." The boss here believes in RMB very much. Because all currencies other than the RMB have depreciated in one way or another over the past few decades, he requires that RMB be used for large-scale things.
"1.8 million." Just as the host's voice fell, there was a lustful guy over there, regardless of the woman's eyes in his arms, and immediately started calling for the price. Such opportunities are rare, but It is absolutely impossible to get such a collection with a price increase of 300,000 RMB. It is certain that the price of such four beauties is ten times that. I will pay the money." Li Cong took out his mobile phone and played the game slowly after finishing speaking. Anyway, there is a guy like Zhou Fatty who absolutely does not need to worry about them running away, and if you are fighting for money, here should be No one can beat Fatty Zhou.
Fatty Zhou originally wanted to bid, but because he was afraid that Li Cong would say that he was lustful, he didn't make a bid. Now that Li Cong supported him so much, there was nothing to be afraid of, so he immediately stood up and said, "I'll offer two hundred Eight hundred thousand." This guy immediately raised the price by one million yuan, which is exactly what Li Cong wanted. This fat man seems to be able to bring him good news by mistake.
In fact, Li Cong just remembered that Mr. President of the Republic likes these four people. He has conflicts with the owner of this hotel, but the charm of these four women is definitely very powerful. Even people like Li Cong He can be tempted, so he concluded that the president will definitely remember it. It is inconvenient for him to buy it directly because of his status, but it is not a problem to ask someone else to buy it for him, so Li Cong asked Fatty Zhou to bid. If someone competes fiercely with Fatty Zhou, that person may be Mr. President's man. Other people will definitely guess about Fatty Zhou's origin, and the president will definitely not have any scruples because he is a local snake.
"This gentleman from Huaxia has offered 2.8 million yuan. If no one bids, these four charming beauties will belong to this gentleman." The price of 700,000 yuan per person is not cheap. You must know that the price of a beautiful woman in a place like Ukraine is only a few hundred thousand yuan, and the price of a poor family is even less than 100,000 yuan. The price here is considered a high price, but such four people are definitely Rare. So there is still a lot of room for improvement, but the auction party did not expect the price to rise so fast. They never expected that these people would do things like that, and they immediately offered a price of one million. He didn't think much about it, but Fatty Zhou was a lecherous guy back then, and judging from this person's face, he was indeed a lecherous guy.
The current price has reached 3.4 million, and there are only five bidders left. The others have basically withdrawn. Although they don't lack these millions of RMB, they all know that the people who bid the price are not very easy to mess with. The guy in the second row belongs to the largest club around. boss. This guy has hundreds of desperadoes who can do anything, if he gets into trouble with such a person. Maybe he would have to be killed if he walked out of this door. This person heard that he killed a deputy mayor with his own hands. People like that are ignored, and small businessmen like them naturally pay less attention to themselves. When they die, they don't even know how they died.
The guy on the left is even more powerful. He is from the military. Although the central army is stationed here, there are not many of them. Right or left, but their fighting power is very strong. A while ago, some diamond merchants nearby wanted to fight against the government. Hundreds of people directly settled it in an hour. As for how they got the money, this is their problem. It can still be called to this extent.
The one on the right is the tax officer of this area. His family used to be the owner of a nearby forestry company, so there must be no shortage of money, but I haven’t heard that this guy is lustful. No, Li Cong reckoned that this person should be the representative of the president. This guy is usually very face-saving in his behavior and work. He should definitely not be right with everyone just because of a few women at this moment.
And the guy behind is the king of the aluminum industry in this area. His family property can be said to be the richest among the people here. Some people have calculated that his assets must exceed two billion US dollars, and this person has a hundred The guards here are all retired soldiers from other countries, so he will not be afraid of anyone. Even if there is something wrong with the army, I didn’t give it for nothing in Moscow. You dare to try it on me blatantly.
The last Fatty Zhou may be the most unfounded of all, just a foreign tourist, but when this guy bids the price, he has a very strong aura, and he can't tell that he is in someone else's territory. People combined can't keep up with him.
"Four million, everyone, listen to me, give these four women to brothers, brothers and black belts, thank you everyone, if it is useful in the future, please let me know." When the price reached 4 million yuan, that The boss of the club spoke first. In fact, this guy is also a waste. Since he can continue to bid with you, he will definitely not be afraid of your power. Do you think that others will really buy your face when you say a word? Those people who really bought your face have stopped asking prices at this moment. To be honest, most of the people who don't ask prices are actually because of this guy. Although the other people are also oppressive, they can't catch up with this guy.
"Joke, why do you ask everyone to give you face when you do bad things? We are from the Central Army, so there is no need to give you any face, 4.5 million, if you have money, you can continue to come, if you don't have money, get out as soon as possible." For this Club boss, there are really few people here who dare to offend, even those who offered the price started to retreat when they saw this guy stand up and speak, feeling that they should give up to this guy. But since the soldier said so, if they are giving in, it means that they are too far behind others. People in the upper class want this face, if they lose face. That's the most important thing.
"4.7 million." The tax official didn't say much. From his face, he didn't pay much attention to these two people. His family is also a big family in the local area. , and the people who come and go are all dignitaries. It is possible to say that he is not afraid of that society, but it may not be so easy to deal with the people in the Central Army. Right now, this guy is not afraid at all. Li Cong felt more confident.
"Five million, Fat Ye, I have never flinched. If you have money, you can compare it to me. Brother has nothing, except for money. The whole body is money. Even if I add a zero after it, I will definitely want it." Fatty Zhou is usually a person who can't keep a low profile. Now that Li Cong is poking behind him, this guy will not back down even more. Where can he find such an opportunity? What is five million yuan? For ordinary people, this is a lot of money. But for him to fool a few fools and rich people to buy some jewelry or something, he can earn back in a few days, but such quadruplets will not be able to meet in the future.
"It seems that the range of our asking price is really a bit small. No matter what we say, we can't let the Huaxia people lose our face, six million." The aluminum king was silent for a long time. In fact, he wanted to give in when the boss of the club spoke at the beginning, and the relationship between the two of them is usually good. And I often have things to trouble that guy in my mine, but these four beauties really make me feel itchy, so I have to fight hard, and besides, all the people present are smart people, and they won't do it because of a few people. Women hold grudges against other people who can't get along with money. If you want to say that you hold grudges, that fat man must be at the top of the list. Who is to say that this guy is from Huaxia? Recently, the relationship with China in China is not very good.
The owner of the hotel is watching the auction below behind the scenes at the moment. He knows the details of everyone here, even Li Cong and Fatty Zhou. , basically what I brought was the information of the two people, of course it was the information that Li never wanted to hide. These two guys came from the diamond mine of the energy group. It is no secret to people that the energy group has enough strength, and it is certain that they want to win.
"Today's auction is very good. I haven't seen such a thing for a long time. It's right for these four girls not to give to the president's bastard. Maybe we will have new friends. You can invite them later. These two people come to my office." The guy wearing sunglasses said to the snake-like beauty beside him, this beauty seemed to have no bones in her body, she was as soft as water, and her charm skills were even more powerful, ordinary men took a look at her I guess I can't do without it, even if I see this boss often, my resistance is not very strong, if it is not because of this woman, I would really be reluctant to sell the quadruplets.
"Boss, we don't have that kind of business. Are we going to go overboard? Isn't Alrosa just kidding?" The woman's face showed a trace of panic. In their place, Alrosa The power of the boss is not ordinary, if you really want to set foot on the diamond, there is a big gap between your boss and Alrosa, and there will be no such peaceful days.
"Fuck you, when do you mention the word ALROSA in front of me again, I will kill you, get out of here." The beautiful girl was hit on the face immediately, and she suddenly remembered that she was in front of the boss. It is absolutely not allowed to mention the word Alrosa in front of the boss. The boss has a great hatred for Alrosa. How could I be so careless this time? In fact, she is already pretty good. , Everyone who mentioned Alrosa in front of him is basically dead, and there is no one left.
Damn Alrosa, the boss was muttering something, he remembered that morning decades ago, if it wasn't for Alrosa, he might still have a lot of relatives at this moment, this guy has stock The purpose is to kill Alrosa. Since Li Cong and Fatty Zhou also make diamonds, I must support them. The enemy of the enemy is my friend. Although they are still cooperating with Alrosa now, if they dig diamonds on a piece of land, they will become enemies sooner or later, and they cannot openly confront Alrosa. Then you can support them yourself.
Twenty years ago, when Alrosa's diamond mine was at its peak, even the local army helped them with their affairs. At that time, I was only a ten-year-old child, and my mother did the same thing that morning. After finishing a delicious breakfast, I waited for myself to eat with my father. Unfortunately, my father never had that breakfast. My father was working in a nearby diamond mine, and that day my father got a huge diamond. Originally, the father could be rewarded, but Alrosa couldn't get that much bonus at the time. These people even found an excuse to kill his father. The Soviet government at that time was very chaotic. It is impossible for this to attract the attention of some people. At that time, the source of income of the whole family was dependent on his father. Without his father, he would not be able to support the whole family at all, and because his mother could not stand his father The sad departure followed by the past. At that time, I started my miserable wandering life, and my luck can be said to be very good. If I didn't have such good luck, I might not know how many times I have died by now. All these tragedies were caused by ALROSA. The president of the original republic had agreed to introduce a policy to limit ALROSA's lawlessness. It can be said that this is the biggest achievement I have achieved in these years. I didn't expect that guy to postpone the topic after receiving ALROSA's six million dollars. It took me tens of millions of dollars to fix this issue, but now I have ruined the matter because of that guy's greed, so I still want my baby, and there is no way.
At this moment, the competition below has reached a fever pitch. The boss of the club has already withdrawn. After the guy in the army shouted a price of 10 million, he is already powerless. The king of the aluminum industry is also a little scared at this time. Fatty Zhou and the tax officer are the only ones. Fatty Zhou can see that this guy doesn't have much ability anymore. He just opened his mouth to pay 120,000 yuan, and the price is directly too high by 20,000 yuan. At this time, it is better not to go up little by little. The soldier took a look at Fatty Zhou and sat down honestly. Although he has a lot of assets, he doesn't have that much cash. If you give him time, it's no problem to call up to 50 million, but here The rule is that the money must be paid immediately after the auction is completed, so the price of 120,000 can already get that guy out.
The tax officer was already a little scared at this time. The guy from the president told him to buy it, but he only gave him 120,000 RMB. Assets, but it seems that it is not worth investing in it, but thinking that if Mr. President can’t get it, I won’t have a good life, so I hate to open my neck and shout 130,000, although a hundred Ten thousand RMB is not a lot, but this is my own money and has nothing to do with the president. I can do this by myself. I guess that fat man has reached his limit.
Fatty Zhou didn’t see anything, anyway, Li Cong said, tens of millions of RMB is nothing, if you go back and dig a few times, you can get a few diamonds and you can earn it back. This small amount of money is nothing.” 13 Ten thousand, this price is considered appropriate." Fatty Zhou said proudly, and some small businessmen around were dumbfounded. This Chinese person is too rich, isn't it, three million yuan to buy a person? If 3 million RMB is in Ukraine, you can buy more than a dozen beautiful women if you want to buy them, but here you can only buy one. Seeing this guy, he doesn't seem to regret it at all.
The final result was naturally that Fatty Zhou won, and the faces of the others were full of envy and hatred. You must know that such a woman is rare and hard to come by. If you want to meet such four beautiful women after today, I really don't know that it will be the year of the monkey, and I may never have a chance in my life.
"Two gentlemen, our boss wants to invite the two gentlemen upstairs to have a chat. I wonder if you two are interested?" The things Li Cong needed came immediately, and someone came over as soon as he finished the formalities with Fatty Zhou Said, this guy is wearing the person inside, the boss in his mouth must be the boss of this hotel, Li Cong actually wanted to see who the boss is, so he nodded, indicating that Fatty Zhou is here. After going through the formalities with those people, I went up with this person myself, but before leaving, I still told Fatty Zhou that these four girls should not move, and I want to give gifts.
Sitting in the elevator, Li Cong saw the waiter and directly pressed the button on the top floor. It seems that the boss here also works on the top floor.
"Hehe, hello, my name is Palermo, and I'm the boss here. I'm sure sir, you are not our member. Although I can't name all the members, I know all of them. Sir, if you can bid more than 10 million RMB to buy a few playthings, you must be very powerful. I like to make friends, especially those with strong strength. Please come in." This guy said to Li Cong at the door . Li Cong couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw that this guy was sitting in a wheelchair. It turned out that the boss couldn't stand up. What he didn't know was that the boss's legs had something to do with Alrosa, otherwise it wouldn't be so Hate Alrosa.
"Mr. Palermo is really a straightforward person. He is different from many people I have met. When they meet, they say things like old friends at first sight, which makes people feel very fake. You are right, I Very powerful, I don’t deny this, but I have no strength here, we can help each other.” Li Cong said with a smile, this person feels like he doesn’t hate him, he wants to use himself to do something , This is the first feeling I gave myself, but they also told you their purpose intact.
"That's right. We can help each other. I only know that you are from the Li family. You are here for the airport problem at the diamond mine. I don't know the rest. Rosa has a holiday, we can make a deal." Palermo said, Li Cong looked at the guy in front of him, trying to see if he had other intentions, but he didn't see anything, in fact, Palermo said that The reason is also because he can't see what Li Cong is thinking, and he should stop playing tricks when he can't see what others are thinking, so he said bluntly that what he did was completely unconscious, which is exactly in line with Li Cong's meaning up. (To be continued..)
