Chapter 13： auction house scramble

Li Daniu was born as an ordinary person, and he has lived for more than 20 years without experiencing any so-called major events.

Ruthless? Unparalleled wisdom?

These similar words have nothing to do with Li Daniu at all, even if he has traveled through time, even if he has obtained a system, Li Daniu still practices the wisdom of ordinary people.

A rather frightening night passed, and nothing happened. No one had broken into his room to **** his necklace, let alone his fear of killing him by the way.

Early the next morning, because he didn't sleep all night, Li Daniu was called out by his Prime Minister Burns. Looking at the four armed policemen guarding outside his room, Li Daniu really couldn't tell where these people came from. Those who protect him are still here to monitor him. It's not that Li Daniu is suspicious, but that he must guard against others.

The sumptuous breakfast did not improve Li Daniu's appetite.

"Burns, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness, we have already started to do what you arranged last night, and now we need to report to you." Burns sat opposite Li Daniu, and said: "We have prepared the ban on immigration overnight." The bill will take effect as long as you sign the document and affix your seal. Also, we have contacted the largest auction houses in New Zealand and Australia last night, and they will arrive at us by this afternoon country, responsible for the identification and valuation of your necklace. Not only that, we have also contacted several world-renowned news media, and they have agreed to arrange for their reporters stationed in New Zealand or Australia to come to interview and report, and it is expected that Will arrive by this afternoon."

After Li Daniu listened to it, he was nervous all night and finally let go. Now that this matter has been announced to the whole world in a high-profile manner, Li Daniu is not afraid at all of what will happen to these people under him.

As for the possibility that Burns was paralyzing himself? Li Daniu didn't think it would be difficult to grab something from him, so why bother?

"Good job." Li Daniu pondered for a moment, and then popped out four words. He really didn't know how to treat his subordinates with both kindness and power, and he couldn't figure it out. Why did he know so many tricks in a blink of an eye?

"It is my honor to serve you, Your Highness." Burns stood up and said with a bow.

"Sit, sit, sit..." Although Li Daniu is very happy with this feeling, he is not used to it, and now he really has no strength and has to rely on these subordinates, so it is always right to be kind.

After Burns sat down as promised, Li Daniu ignored the breakfast in front of him and asked, "Have you thought about how to hype this necklace?"

"I have a little idea, but... I hope to get the permission of His Royal Highness." Burns said cautiously.

"It's okay, you were the person my father trusted the most before he was alive, and you will also be the person I trust the most in the future, so if you have anything to say, just say it, don't have any taboos." Li Daniu plagiarized from which movie he didn't know Lines, feel very good about yourself.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your trust. I will live up to the trust of the old king." Burns said excitedly, "I will promote this as the last treasure of the first country on earth that is about to die in the 21st century." Necklace. At the same time, when promoting this necklace, I will try my best to show foreign countries the unsustainable status quo of our country, and declare that the auction proceeds of this necklace will become the last retreat of our people. I want Let the rich people all over the world know that buying this necklace is not an act of luxury, but an act of charity, a charitable act to save a country."

Li Daniu didn't care whether Burns' excited expression was real or not. He had the traversal system in his hand, and it was definitely not a loss if he followed him. If he had no eyes, he would definitely regret it in the future.

"Very good, Burns, your idea is very good, just execute as you say."

"Thanks to His Royal Highness for your trust, I will definitely sell this necklace at an unprecedentedly high price."

Neither Li Daniu nor Burns cared about the so-called imminent national subjugation. For Li Daniu, Tuvalu is about to perish, and he has no feelings for this country at all until now. For Burns, describing Tuvalu as a country on the verge of subjugation is something he has long been used to.

Before Burns took office, he had heard the argument that the old king and the former prime minister cried poor all the time anywhere in the world and claimed that the whole world murdered Tuvalu together. After taking office, he also said that Tuvalu was about to die, in exchange for support and help from other countries.

Otherwise, where did you get the $60 million Tuvalu National Fund?

After finishing the business, Li Daniu began to enjoy the breakfast that belonged to a king, and of course he did not forget to invite Burns to have a meal together. However, although this breakfast tastes very high, there are seven or eight kinds of tableware alone, but in fact, it makes Li Daniu miss those roadside stalls that experts say can't be eaten in Datian Dynasty.

This man is cheap. Li Daniu sighed in his heart, it's not that the king is not wealthy, but he is born with the virtue of frugality, there is no way.

After breakfast, Li Daniu ordered his five-year-old maid to prepare breakfast for the armed guards standing at his door, and then returned to his room under the excited eyes of several guards.

Li Daniu, who was in a relatively relaxed mood, found out that it was already noon after catching up on sleep. Open the window and look out, and you can see the street view of Tuvalu at the township level of Datianchao. Except for a small airport, there are no eye-catching buildings.

The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard.

Li Daniu asked someone to arrange a simple meal for him, and then he nestled in the room and started his own work - copying novels.

After becoming a king, he actually had to live by code words. After Li Daniu despised himself fiercely in his heart, he quickly started typing on the keyboard.

Compared with its predecessor "The Hobbit", the novel "The Lord of the Rings" is so famous that it has not only been translated into more than 60 languages, but also rated as the book of the century. Li Daniu took a rough look, and found that the world's most famous fantasy novel "Gods and Demons" is not at the same level as "Lord of the Rings".

The most obvious difference is that "The Lord of the Rings" has shaped a complete world, while "Gods and Demons" are only derived from existing myths and legends.

What is even more compelling is that when the original author created "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings", in order to make the world he created appear more real, he created more than one language, such as Elven language, dwarf language, etc. languages, etc., and even supported many people who specialize in these languages.

"Gods and Demons" can be so crazy in this world, so what about the even better "Lord of the Rings"?

Although the novels have their own preferences in this matter, but under roughly the same cultural background, Li Daniu believes that gold can definitely emit the same brilliance.

Writing a book is hard work. It took the original author twelve years to complete the novel. But Wen Chaogong's words are too simple.

When Li Daniu was flying his fingers on the keyboard, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"His Royal Highness, the people from the auction house and the reporter have arrived."

"Hold on."

Li Daniu saved and encrypted the typed document, put the physical novel in his safe, took the necklace, and walked out of the room.

"His Royal Highness, they are waiting in the conference room on the second floor. Prime Minister Burns and the Minister of Foreign Affairs are accompanying them." The police chief said standing outside Li Daniu's door.

"Then let's go down too." Li Daniu felt the benefits of a small country at the moment. If he was a little bigger, the whole country would know about the arrival of a plane. Absolutely impossible.

The two guards in front cleared the way, Li Daniu walked in the middle, the police chief followed behind him with his head held high, and the last two guards stood in front of him. This treatment was at least at the level of a coal boss.

On the second floor, Li Daniu heard a burst of greetings. Of course, the greetings were all from his subordinates. As for the reporters and the appraisers of the auction house, they all looked a little embarrassed. Wanting to salute, the king in front of me is not as powerful as a mayor of my own country. I don't want to salute, but I also think that this is his territory, and there are more than a dozen guards with guns standing inside and outside the door.

However, there are only 11,000 people left in this country. How many police officers are there?

Of course, Li Daniu doesn't know what these people are thinking. If he knew, he might make all the citizens part-time policemen in a fit of anger. Eleven thousand policemen would scare you to death.

"Let's all sit down." Li Daniu waved his hand and sat down on the main seat in the conference room. Burns stood beside him with great dog-leg potential, and then started the introduction.

At this moment, Li Daniu remembered, did he forget the handshake procedure? In the past, when watching the news, when state leaders received foreign guests, they shook hands one by one.

It's embarrassing, but can you blame me? I have no experience. Li Daniu had already thickened his skin to a certain level, pretending to be calm and nodding to the person Burns introduced.

"Okay, everyone has come from afar, so I won't waste everyone's time." Li Daniu took out the necklace from his pocket, ignoring the twitching expressions of those people when they saw his movement, and handed the necklace to uncle Enns.

"Everyone can take a good look and talk about it after reading it."

Li Daniu closed his eyes on the surface, but he was actually regretting his poor performance just now.

After a while, Li Daniu stopped when he heard the discussion, opened his eyes, and saw a few people with cameras, taking pictures of the necklace under the watchful eyes of other people. .

"How about it?"

An old man with white hair and gold-rimmed glasses, who looked very professional, stood up and said, "Uh...Honorable Prince Tarek, I have 50 years of experience in the jewelry industry and I have never The wrong professional conduct proves that the gemstone on your necklace is a very rare Hope blue diamond. The net weight is about 40 carats, and we need more professional instruments to detect the specific weight."

"Then what's its value?" Li Daniu looked at the other people who had just been introduced as jewelry experts, and nodded at the same time, knowing that this was the conclusion they had discussed together.

"In the past ten years, there have been no pure colored diamonds of similar size on the market, so we have no information to refer to, so we can only say our conservative valuation - 120 million US dollars."

"120 million?" Li Daniu was stunned, UU Reading This is a bit far from the 200 million US dollars he imagined.

"Your Highness Prince Tarek, you don't have to worry too much. Our conservative valuation has always been much lower than the auction proceeds. Before, a pure diamond that we conservatively valued at 100 million US dollars was sold at the auction. The price of 180 million US dollars."

Damn, it's not good to talk well, what are you panting for.

"If I hand it over to you for auction, when will I be able to sell it?" Li Daniu remembered that when Burns introduced it just now, he said that this old man represented the most popular auction house in recent years, and had sold many good things. .

"Your Highness, this rare treasure should be exhibited a certain number of times in major countries and regions around the world in order to attract more buyers. It is conservatively estimated that it will take half a year to maximize the benefits."

Li Daniu froze for a moment, half a year? Is this time a little long?

"His Royal Highness Prince Tarek, please allow me to say a word." The old man representing another auction house stood up, and after receiving a signal from Li Daniu, he said: "Our Subos Auction House is an auction house in this world. The oldest auction house in the world, our VIP customers are also the most in the world, we are confident that we will sell your necklace for a sky-high price within three months."

kindness? That's it?

Li Daniu laughed in his heart, of course he knew what it meant for an auction house to be able to auction such a treasure.

"I need your sincerity before I can decide who to auction this necklace to."
