Chapter 2, the sky-high price
Liu Nuxia doesn't like such occasions very much.
The main reason is that the accident happened not long ago, and the whole country is in grief. The lively scene in front of us is really a bit ironic.
This is not a glass heart, but empathy. Liu Nuxia is a delicate and considerate person, and it is really sad for something like this to happen.
Feeling uneasy, she habitually fiddled with her rosary ring.
The old ring was made of metal, and after being worn for a long time, it always had a bad taste. The current ring is a mineral product similar to stone. It was a little scratchy at first, but after using it for a while, it became very comfortable and the touch of stone became better.
Stronger than before.
This small movement was noticed by the afro just now. This man saw that Liu Nuxia was beautiful and was still a trainee, so he came over to talk. But before he could say anything, he saw the ring on Liu Nuxia's hand.
.
He had seen the picture just now, and now it appeared directly in front of him. The afro thought he had seen it wrong, and he pulled the man in sunglasses over again: "Go and take a look."
The man in sunglasses took off his sunglasses in surprise, looked at it for a while and then walked forward: "Hello, I didn't say hello just now, what should I call you?"
"Karina." Liu Nuxia was a little flattered, because these celebrities and geeks in the fashion industry are usually arrogant and unwilling to communicate more with outsiders.
Many idols and celebrities participate in such occasions just to label themselves as "fashionistas". In South Korea's entertainment industry, labeling themselves as "fashionistas" is very helpful in attracting fans.
"Good name." The man in sunglasses pretended to praise.
Liu Nuxia's English name is officially spelled Karina, but when she was in the early days of being a trainee, she actually had another simpler English name. But it wasn't long before she stopped using it and changed it to her current name.
As for the name "karina", it is not a temporary idea, but has a history. Liu Nuxia's family is Christian, so Liu Nuxia was baptized after she was born.
Baptism is a ceremony held when Christianity accepts new believers. Water is usually dropped on the forehead of the baptized person, and sometimes the person is immersed directly in the water to express the cleansing of past sins.
When Liu Nvxia was baptized, she received the baptismal name Karina, which is also the source of her English name and stage name.
However, Liu Nuxia is not actually completely passionate about God, let alone blind. She just finds a simple direction for kindness.
At this time, Liu Nuxia noticed that the two people in front of her were looking at her hands. She looked down curiously. Her hands were clean and her manicure was quite satisfactory. Is there anything worthy of attention?
At this time, Afro couldn't help but ask: "Karina xi, I don't know the origin of the ring on your hand. It looks very different."
The man in sunglasses nodded: "Yes, stone products are really rare now."
Only then did Liu Nuxia suddenly realize that it was because of the ring that people were paying attention. However, she obviously had a wrong idea. She thought that these fashionable people admired gold and silver jewelry, so they had a negative attitude towards stone products.
If this kind of thing were to happen to ordinary people, they would probably avoid the important and take the easy. But Liu Nuxia’s character is honest. She didn’t think wearing a stone product was something shameful. So she said: "This is a gift from a friend, although it is not a big deal."
It’s a precious thing, but it’s truly unique. So the meaning of friendship is more important.”
The man in sunglasses and the man with the afro looked at each other, thinking that this guy didn't know what he was doing. If he were alone, he might really have something wrong with him. But now the two of them were looking at each other, and they couldn't lie or fool anyone.
Okay, let's tell the truth. Anyway, it's bragging rights to see the real thing.
South Korea's idol fashion is very developed, but the purely cutting-edge fashion circle has little independence. It is completely a follow-up and modification of the European and American fashion circles.
Therefore, a piece of jewelry that is so famous in Europe and the United States is actually very valuable in South Korea. What's more, the structure of the jewelry itself is also a confusing legend, at least that's what outsiders think.
"Then does this ring have a name?" Afro asked.
Liu Nuxia said: "Peninsula Stone Ring."
Sure enough! The afro showed a happy expression: "It seems that your relative must take good care of you. It's really not easy. I didn't expect to see the real thing so soon."
Now Liu Nuxia was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
The man in sunglasses explained: "The ring in your hand is not ordinary. It is part of the 'Chain of the World'. Although it is not an antique, it was indeed made by a mysterious and superb artist, and it was exiled after its birth.
All over the world, mostly in Europe and the United States.”
Liu Nuxia looked down at her ring, a little confused, feeling that these were all fantasy.
The man in sunglasses continued to introduce: "The Chain of the World is a very mysterious collection. It is named after the world, so it is divided into eleven major parts. Each major part is based on geography, ethnicity, customs, politics, history and other origins.
, divided into countless small parts.”
"The eleven parts are the Fire of Asia, the Snow of Europe, the Feather of North America, the Wings of South America, the Eye of Antarctica, the Star of Africa, the Heart of the Ocean, the Pacific Night, the Desire of the Atlantic, the Secret of the Indian Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean.
The dream represents the seven continents and four oceans of the world. The largest part of it is the Fire of Asia."
"And the ring in your hand is called the Peninsula Stone Ring. It is part of the Fire of Asia and represents the entire peninsula." The man in sunglasses asked: "Can you take it off and show it to me?"
Liu Nuxia was completely confused at this time, and she didn't believe it was real at all, so she took it off and handed it to the man in sunglasses, hoping that he could tell the authenticity.
The man in sunglasses and the man with an afro gathered around to study it and nodded. The structure of the peninsula stone ring is not a popular style, but full of the style of simple classicism culture, which is simple but not simple.
From the perspective of a work of art, this peninsula stone ring can only be said to be of the highest quality. But if it is part of the legendary "Chain of the World", then it is of the highest quality.
Because there is no complete photo of Chain of Worlds in this world. No one knows what the complete version of Chain of Worlds looks like.
People are like this. They are always full of curiosity and longing for things they have never seen before, and they are constantly beautifying them in their brains. Especially things with a sense of collection can arouse people's desires the most. Because collection is
Genes deeply embedded in people's nature.
"Karina xi, do you want to sell this ring? You can make any price you want." The explosive head held out a finger: "One hundred million."
This definitely refers to Korean won, which is equivalent to more than 500,000 yuan in China, which is not a small amount.
The man in sunglasses on the other side said: "I will pay another 10 million. I really want to collect this. Please give it to Karina Xi."
The world is really crazy. Liu Nuxia took the ring back and refused apologetically: "Sorry, this is a gift. I can't give it away or sell it casually. And the price is too exaggerated."
Seeing that Liu Nuxia really refused to sell it, the man in sunglasses told the whole truth: "It's no exaggeration, not long ago a part of the Chain of the World was sold at a British auction house for more than three million yuan.
The pound sterling is equivalent to about six billion won. And this is just a part of the world chain."
More than three million pounds, which is almost thirty million in China. Of course, this does not mean that the thing is really worth that much, it is simply that Wang Taika wants to launder so much money.
But to the outside world, the Chain of the World has instantly become a mysterious legend. If you get one of them, you can sell it for a sky-high price. And this is what Wang Taika hopes to see, because the parts of the Chain of the World, Duck King,
There are so many sides, so it will be much easier if you want to wash it later.
But at this moment, Liu Nuxia still couldn't accept this reality. This ring was just a gift from Wang Taika on her birthday. But she didn't know it was so valuable until now.
