Chapter 810

May 3, Wednesday.

In the afternoon, he finished the last work of "evocation 2" and Simon took part in his first public event since he came to London in the evening.

A fine jewelry auction at Christie's.

In fact, it is also a support for our own industry.

After buying this auction house, Simon paid much less attention to Christie's, let alone Sophia, than Janet. It is probably that women are naturally more interested in expensive antique treasures than men.

There was no special arrangement in advance, so when Simon appeared at Christie's auction house with a well-dressed Yulia schulthina, it obviously caused quite a stir.

The daily life of the auction house is far from the hundreds of millions that ordinary people imagine. It is said that it is a boutique jewelry auction. In fact, it is only a very ordinary auction. This time, there are 27 pieces of jewelry in total, and the estimated total amount of the auction is only 5 million pounds. Among them, the most expensive diamond necklace is estimated at 500000 pounds, which is donated by Princess Diana and planned to be used for charity. It's tonight The biggest gimmick of the auction.

Because of its small scale, few top British celebrities and dignitaries attended in person, most of them just sent their own agents to attend.

Stepping on the spot, Simon and his wife took a back seat in the court. They just had a simple dinner with a couple next to the seat, and the auction soon began.

The staff sent a beautifully bound list. Simon followed the auction with great interest, and then flipped through the book. He sent it to Shuer higgina, who was next to him. He said in a soft voice, "look which one you like, tell me."

She took the book from the man and opened it carefully.

The mood is still not very calm.

It's probably a leak to be around a man tonight.

Simon has been living in the villa in Kensington Garden Street these days. It happens that a few Ukrainian goblins also come to London to play, and they are not arranged to stay in the villa. However, after dinner tonight, when the man talks about the auction, he can only take one person with him. He probably doesn't know how to choose among the three girls, so he falls on her.

When she left, she obviously felt that the three girls looked at her with hostility in their eyes. Shuerxijinna didn't care. Her heart was not without waves that she could attend the activities with men in public.

A woman knows that this is a public declaration of her identity.

She is his lover.

After carefully turning over the pamphlet, she did not choose the jewelry she liked. These expensive things, which cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, were too far from her life.

The auction went on very fast.

The man turned to ask again that five pieces of jewelry had been taken away, so he showed him an emerald necklace. The starting price was 80000 pounds, which was not the lowest in the book, but it was absolutely not high.

"It's not suitable for you. Let me help you choose it."

Ear came a sentence, she was a little uneasy, just nodded meekly.

I don't really like it.

After more than ten minutes, a ruby necklace appeared on the stage. The starting price was 250000 pounds, which was the more expensive one tonight.

Looking at the necklace projection on the big screen, inexplicably some heart, without trace of a glance at the man next to him, and quickly convergence eyes.

Obviously, many people have taken a fancy to this necklace, and there are frequent price calls under the stage.

However, after more than 400000 pounds, there will be a lot less people competing for it. If the specifications of this auction are put there, it is impossible for some popular auctions to raise the price several times.

It ended up at 450000.

When the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, schurchigina heard a gentle offer from the man beside her: "500000 pounds."

Everyone at the scene looked over.

It's Simon westero's first shot.

Of course, we mainly take this opportunity to see people. We don't feel much about Simon westrow's purchase of a piece of jewelry for 500000 pounds. For westrow, is that money?

The auctioneer was also excited.

Big boss always began to support, so raised the tone, try to play up the atmosphere.

It's also a good match.

The card was raised again and 10000 pounds was added.

The auctioneer looked and saw that this was an agent. However, he knew that behind the number plate was Richard Branson, the famous British tycoon and the owner of Virgin Group.

Someone raised the price and Simon called for a second time: "550000."

Obviously, it's a must.

I just raised my card to be regarded as a show of support. Now I can't get along with Simon westero. What's more, we all know that someone who raised his card is the owner of this auction house.

So the deal went smoothly.

It directly exceeded the estimated maximum price of 500000 pounds for Diana diamond necklace.

By Simon's side, Shuer higgina quietly grasped the hem of her dress. She just felt that it was too expensive and wasteful.Others are curious whether Simon westrow will make a move on Diana's diamond necklace.

The auction started at 8 p.m. and lasted for two hours.

Princess Diana's diamond necklace came to a close at the end. The starting price was also 250000 pounds. Simon called a price when he held the venue for 400000 pounds, and then he didn't sell it again.

The necklace was eventually taken away by an anonymous buyer for 530000.

At 10 o'clock, the auction is over.

At this time in the past, everyone dispersed. After all, it was a little late.

Tonight's auction is a reminder, followed by a reception.

Before the start of the auction, many people did not quite understand what was going on. Some people thought that Princess Diana might come forward to thank her personally. However, if so, it would be publicized in advance. The auction house did not do so. I didn't understand until I arrived.

It's late at night.

When the reception started, not only no one left, but many more guests came.

Simon doesn't feel much about Britain, an old capitalist country, because the system is too mature and there is no soil for capital development. Only conservative and stable capital will make a big bet here.

This does not mean that Simon does not pay any attention to the UK. The westero system has its own layout in the entertainment, telecommunications, finance and other fields. Compared with the whole westero system, the scale may not be much, but no matter how small the action of a giant ship is, the waves are enough to overturn many small sampans. In addition, Simon has purchased a large number of properties all over the UK, and plans to let Levison group enter the London real estate market.

Under the threat of economic weakness and IRA, London real estate is in a downturn in recent years.

However, in the next two decades, London will definitely be one of the fastest growing cities in the world, with great investment value.

Fundamentally, Simon's strategy for Britain is "one goes with the other", which covers France, Germany, Japan and other big old capitalist countries.

Only when these economies continue to decline, can the westero system get enough space to develop. In fact, this is the same as the fundamental strategy of the United States for these countries, either controlling or destroying them.

Of course, these countries are not targets that will not move. It will take at least a few decades to achieve the goal of "trade-off".

Simon's mind will not be revealed at the party.

Because of the relaxed financial and tax environment, London is a city where rich people from all over the world gather to settle down. Many top rich people from Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and other regions will live in this city for most of the year, and the proportion of billionaires is no less than that of New York.

Two hours of auction time is enough for these people to react.

Therefore, it can be imagined that the guest lineup after the reception, such as Richard Branson, the boss of Virgin Group, is a bit of a shadow in front of many oligarchs who hold the economic lifeline of a country and region.

Simon, of course, is one of the great witches.

Simon was able to entertain these uninvited celebrities and rich people at the party. He was inspired by them and kept them in mind. He didn't leave with schulthina until more than eleven o'clock.

After going out, I happened to meet the couple sitting next to me at the auction.

It's divai.

At that time, they talked a few words, but they didn't respond at first. Later, they thought of it and tried to find out that it was the divai in their memory. The couple had a daughter named Kara divai.

Simon is not interested in Kara divai, the ghost horse supermodel. He vaguely remembers that his sister Bobbi divai is more in line with his aesthetic.

After learning that the couple's driver was late, Simon offered to give them a ride.

The couple were a little flattered.

Although the divai family is also a wealthy class in London, it is not worth mentioning compared with the billionaires who just gathered at the reception. It's hard to get more contact with Simon westero.

Simon's usual trip tonight is two cars and a group of bodyguards, which just vacates one car and gives it to the divayers.

Christie's auction house is located in the east of Greenland Park in the center of London. Divai's house is just on the other side of Greenland Park, in the area of Belgravia, next to Hyde Park in the north. They are all prime locations in London. Everyone got on the bus. In less than five minutes, they arrived at the door of divai's house. The couple warmly invited Simon to come in. It was very late. Simon didn't get off the bus again, but just accepted Charles divai's business card.

Charles Deway is a real estate businessman.

Simon's attention has been drawn to this point. He plans to make an investigation afterwards. He happens to be interested in London real estate. Maybe he can support a spokesman here.

After saying goodbye to the divayers, Simon didn't return to his residence in Kensington Garden Street on the west side of Hyde Park. The three goblins live there tonight. They don't plan to join in the fun. They go on to the residence of schulthina in Hammersmith District, which is further west.On her white neck, she had worn the ruby necklace she had won at Simon's auction, which complemented each other. She had been dutifully playing the role of vase all night. However, when he learned that Simon was going to his residence, he suddenly began to feel uneasy and didn't refuse.

Simon's car stopped in front of a three story villa and found that the lights were still on.

Shuer higgina took out her key to open the door. As soon as she entered the living room on the first floor, a female guard came to meet her. Seeing Simon, she obviously showed some unexpected expression, relaxed quickly, and respectfully took the initiative to greet her. She also explained: "the young lady was already asleep. She woke up at ten o'clock and said she was looking for her mother. We just coaxed her and were watching TV on the second floor."

Her daughter used to sleep with her all the time. Last year, she went to kindergarten. She arranged a room for the little guy alone, hoping that the child could form a good habit early.

Probably there is no sense of security in the bones. After sleeping alone, the little guy occasionally wakes up in his sleep.

Care is chaos, Shuer xijinna listen to female Wei finish, quickly walk upstairs, Simon followed up the stairs.

When she arrived at a living room on the second floor, a little blonde girl in light pink pajamas jumped out of the arms of a waitress on the sofa, shouting that her mother was about to pounce on her mother. She noticed that Simon, who was behind her, had a little action. Her big eyes looked at her suspiciously, and she was surprised immediately The joyful expression, bypasses Shuer xijinna, the small sparrow similar pours at Simon.

There's a calling in my mouth.

"Dad."

The atmosphere in the room was a little stiff.

At the beginning, the banker hated his daughter very much and hoped that she would send her child back to Russia more than once. Now, she is worried that he will do the same. What's more, there is the title of little guy.

Simon saw shuershiggina fall, motioned to the waitress to help her up, looked down at the little man who was holding her calf tightly, and heard that the girl raised her face and called dad again. Simon showed a gentle smile, bent down to hold the little guy up, and asked softly, "what's the baby's name?"

The child less than four years old obviously failed to find the flaw in Simon's sentence. He was picked up by Simon and put his arms around his neck like a sticky human. He looked at Simon with bright eyes and replied in a delicate voice: "Nina, the baby's name is Nina."

"Nina, it's a nice name," Simon said, holding the baby to the sofa and sitting down. He put the little man on his lap and said, "but it's not good for the baby to stay up so late."

Lilliputian listen to Simon said, immediately some tears: "mother don't let Nina sleep together, Nina don't like to sleep alone."

"Why doesn't mom let me

The little girl sat on Simon's leg and couldn't put her arm around Simon's neck. She still grasped Simon's skirt and began to complain: "mom said that Nina is a big girl. She should learn to be independent. Dad, Nina is not a big girl. Nina is only three years old."

"It seems to be Mom's fault."

The little girl agreed and nodded her head: "well."

Sushi Jinna, who was lifted up by the maid and sat down on the sofa next to her, finally relaxed when she saw the situation in front of her, and looked at the interaction between a large and a small person with a little preoccupation.

Simon and Nina are talking. There is a cat barking in the room. A gray tiger spotted cat turns out from that corner. This is a very energetic adult tiger spotted cat. It is much bigger than Sophia's baby cat that Simon saw a few days ago. It is estimated that it is two or three years old.

Seeing the cat appear, Nina immediately called, "meow, come here, this is Dad. Dad has come to see me."

The tabby cat seems to understand Nina's words. She comes over and jumps onto the sofa. Squatting beside them, she looks at a stranger curiously. The little girl sitting on Simon's leg leans out. A chubby hand grabs the cat's neck and pulls Simon's leg down: "Dad, this is meow. It's very good at catching mice, and it will give him the mice it catches I don't know

Simon heard the name "meow meow" and raised his eyebrows slightly. He imagined a tiger cat carrying a mouse to a little girl and asked with a smile, "isn't Nina afraid of mice?"

The little girl seemed a little puzzled and said, "why should Nina be afraid of mice?"

Simon was stunned, too.

Well, that's a real problem.
