Chapter 715： Not interested in diamonds

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

Yang Cheng touched her nose awkwardly, there was no way for a moment, who would let herself be wrong.

Since joining Emma Watson, he tried to talk to him several times, but only in exchange for an expressionless and pretty face. He could feel Emma's care in dressing up and the attention he paid to meeting him this time. This indifferent attitude really made Yang Cheng confused. How could he offend this little ancestor?

There was nothing to say all the way, when Yang Cheng's seat drove into the headquarters of Sotheby's on New Bond Street, Emma Watson was like a geek in disguise, changing her smiling face in a second, exquisite makeup and charming, she was affected by this sudden change. It made Yang Cheng's heartbeat suddenly speed up. Before he could react, Emma slapped Yang Cheng angrily, "Will you get out of the car and open the door for me?"

Yang Cheng is stunned, is he being **** by this woman?

But the body still obeyed the command very sincerely. I got out of the car and walked around to Emma’s side. While pulling the car door, he bent his arms and pulled Emma out. He didn’t stay too much at the door. Today, I’m not here to become popular. In the same way, Emma did not see the consciousness of the camera automatically stopping today, and followed Yang Cheng into the venue quickly through the VIP channel, without giving the flash light a chance at all.

Yang Cheng arrived at the scene almost stuck at the spot, so when passing through the security gate, there was no congestion. The emcee walked over to guide Yang Cheng to enter the venue, and gave the bid number plate tonight, number 8. , Is an auspicious number.

The half-curved auction hall was crowded with crowds. Yang Cheng's seat was naturally the front row in the middle. While walking, Yang Cheng asked in a low voice in Emma's ear, "You just were Are you kidding me?"

Emma heard the words, don't pass the hair, smiled charmingly, "So what?"

Yang Cheng was speechless, if it wasn't for the old antiques around him, he really wanted to rectify this woman on the spot.

The old antiques are very innocent, they say they can't afford it!

The old antiques in Yang Cheng's heart, the British gentlemen who have been seated on both sides of the formal aisle, one by one showed the glory of the British Empire sunset, full of aristocratic style.

politely nodded and smiled as he walked, regardless of whether he knew him or not, he was a nobleman.

Soon, the two passed the auction platform and came to the empty seat in the middle of the first row. The back of the chair was stained with the nameplate of Yang Cheng. Before they were seated, Yang Cheng looked at the whole auditorium quickly, a bit of a parliamentary hall, of course the atmosphere Much happier, the invited guests whispered in twos and threes. The guests on the left and right of Yang Cheng looked a bit strange, but Yang Cheng didn't know him anyway.

But compared to them, Yang Cheng’s somewhat unique face on the court is still very recognizable. Liverpool’s new boss, the young Chinese rich man, is ranked in front of the many high-profile individuals who participated in the auction today. The number one, dare not say, the first three can't escape.

As one of the world’s oldest art auctioneers, Sotheby’s was established in London as early as 1744. It has a history of more than 200 years. It can be described as profound. The founder of Sotheby’s is named Sam Baker. In the early years, he mainly operated book auctions and once provided trading opportunities for large-scale book collections of prominent figures in history such as Napoleon.

Before the end of World War I, Sotheby’s auction items had expanded to related prints, medals and coins. Sotheby’s also moved to its well-known location on New Bond Street, Yang The land at the foot of Orange has since become Sotheby's London headquarters.

moved to this street full of fashion and fashion, and at the same time announced the advent of Sotheby's new century-the transaction value of paintings and other works of art has finally begun to surpass books and literature.

Moving towards a more diversified auction category is a very prudent decision, and the key to leading this change is the master paintings and sketches. It can be said that the masters who suffered from the Renaissance have made So Fu with one hand. Success than today.

Regarding Sotheby’s past, there is no need to go into too much detail. Yang Cheng’s purpose today is very clear. The number one target is the Qianlong jade seal that appeared on the finale. Others such as Ferrari Enzo and small water companies near Wales, as long as the price is right. Don't mind taking it together.

The auction was soon introduced by the host who led the whole process. The auctioneer wearing white gloves came on stage and introduced the first lot, a top white diamond weighing 102.34 carats.

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

The auctioneer began to introduce with a cadence, “This diamond is the rarest, most precious, purest, and largest white diamond on the market so far. The rough stone was excavated in Botswana and was cut and polished by top craftsmen for 6 months. It is carved into a round shape most suitable for colorless diamonds.

In addition to the hundreds of carats and the round brilliant cut, according to the American Gemological Society’s appraisal, the diamond has reached high standards in all aspects, including clarity with almost no impurities; the color grade is D grade; In TypeIIA, it is classified based on the'nitrogen content' of diamonds. TypeIIA means that it contains almost no nitrogen, which means extremely pure, crystal-like and translucent, and is a rare good quality.

Gentlemen and ladies, a diamond will last forever. This rare high-quality white diamond can let every owner leave a legend. There is only one chance, right in front of your eyes.

The starting price is 3 million pounds, and each increase is not less than 100,000 pounds. Now I announce that the auction will start~"

As the auctioneer’s bright voice spread all over the corner of the venue, the media reporters ambushing at the back of the venue raised their spears and cannons and aimed them at the stage. The shutter sounded one after another, even overwhelming the ladies who were crazy because of diamonds. They exclaimed.

Yang Cheng calmly looked at Emma Watson with his peripheral light, and found that the girl was completely unmoved by this superb diamond. Instead, she glanced at the old man with his eyes falling into the diamond with disdain. The woman seems to be saying,'I have never seen the world'.

Emma didn’t say that Yang Cheng certainly wouldn’t do anything. He’s not stupid. The Queen Mother, Lafayette, is a loyal lover of diamonds. If he remembers correctly, according to his mother, there are hundreds of carats in the auction history. There are only seven D-grade diamonds in China, but most of them are pear-shaped or emerald-shaped, and none of them are round. Therefore, this round diamond is even more precious. All fools know that these women at the scene are going crazy, he But if you don’t plan to follow the chaos, the starting price is no longer cheap, and if you are fired by these crazy women, it is less than 8 digits, and you can’t even buy a diamond slag.

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

The auctioneer squinted his eyes and yelled, "4 million, this 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 ."

The voice just fell, "5 million~"

"5 million pounds~ my goodness, I swear this may be the craziest experience in my auction career, 5 million pounds, the imposing lady on my left bid 5 million pounds~"

The auctioneer skillfully mobilized the vanity of the women in the audience. After only two bids, the reporters and photographers who were sent to work for dead wages in the back row were short of breath. These prodigal ladies, spent time. The money comes without blinking.

Thinking about it, the speed of pressing the shutter has not dropped at all. This is all news hotspots. Yang Cheng does not know these veteran aristocrats. These local reporters eat this bowl of rice. They know who they are from the back. The second bidder was the wife of a real estate developer with the title of Lord, a nouveau riche, and a big tyrant!

At this time, after a few thoughts flashed, the price had soared to 7.8 million pounds, and the increase in the price had slowed down visible to the naked eye. Yang Cheng knocked on his thigh with the number plate, estimating the final transaction price of the diamond in his heart. Breaking the single diamond transaction record is not a problem at all.

Facts also proved his guess. In the end, this historical-level top round white diamond was taken by the wife of the second real estate developer who offered the price at a super high price of £17 millionthe audience There was thunderous applause, no matter how despised, it was also 17 million cash that was consumed in the blink of an eye. Sotheby's had no mortgage replacement business, so the nobles showed their gentleman and lady demeanor and sent'sincere' congratulations.

And the auction was also successfully ignited because of this diamond. The next dozen lots were sold at prices that exceeded the expectations of the conference. So far, no one has been unsold.

Yang Cheng sat a bit stiff, and the lot he was looking forward to still did not appear, so he couldn't help being a little bored, tilting his head, and asking Emma, ​​who was watching the auction with relish, "You have nothing to want? You know, as long as you I will not refuse to speak."

I'm sorry. When the diamond just appeared, I didn't know who was frightened. I was afraid that Emma would ask for it. Now seeing the limelight passed, I started to talk about it again.

Emma gave him an angry look, "Would you like to discuss with the wife of the real estate agent and buy the diamond and give it to me?"

Seeing through Yang Cheng's thoughts, Emma came back unceremoniously, turning Yang Cheng choked into speechlessness, only knowing that she touched the back of her head and laughed.

Well, Emma didn’t deliberately make things difficult. Yang Cheng’s embarrassment amused her. He smiled, and green fingers pointed towards the stage. That’s it. You can’t let me accompany you for nothing. .

Yang Cheng looked at Emma’s white fingers in confusion, a delicate green vial was placed on the display, without having to look at the introduction on the big screen, Yang Cheng knew what it was. Love-rose essential oil.
