Yan Fei has already finished talking to people about things.
Karl's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master!"
Yan Fei was still a little embarrassed by this title, and said dryly: "Ahem, please call me Yan Fei."
How could Karl agree? He was also planning to learn some kung fu from Yan Fei, so he hurriedly said: "How can this be done?"
Yan Fei had no choice but to look at Ye Qiu for help.
Ye Qiu coughed and said, "Karl, just call me master in private. For now, let's call you Miss Yan."
"Okay." Seeing Ye Qiu speak, Karl reluctantly agreed.
"Master Carl."
At this time, an old man with gray hair walked over quickly. This was the current butler of the De Beers family, Bert.
"Bot." Carl introduced, "This is Mr. Ye, and Miss Yan. Miss Yan is still my master... Master Chinese Kung Fu, they will be the distinguished guests of our De Beers family from now on. Do you remember clearly?"
Bot was startled and looked up at Ye Qiu and Yan Fei. He felt very surprised in his heart. You must know that although Carl likes Chinese culture very much, the De Beers family has never had any Chinese guests.
But when he heard that it was Carl's Chinese Kung Fu teacher, Bot frowned inwardly, thinking that Carl might have been deceived.
In his opinion, the so-called Chinese Kung Fu is just flashy fists and embroidered legs, which are not as good as real fighting skills.
And when he saw the jewelry in Ye Qiu's hand, he was even more convinced that they were scammers.
But this was his master, and Bote did not dare to reveal anything, so he said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, Miss Yan."
"let's go."
Under the guidance of Bert, Karl, Ye Qiu and Yan Fei quickly took their seats. There was not much time before the auction started, and others also took their seats one after another.
Just after a few people took their seats, a frivolous voice came from the side.
"Karl, it's been such a long time."
Cicero sat not far from Carl and said with a sneer on his face.
When Carl saw him, his face darkened: "Cicero, I didn't expect you to come too!"
This Cicero is the future heir of the Grantham family, and Grantham is the second largest jewelry family and a competitor with the De Beers family.
In the same way, Karl and Cicero were also rivals. They had never seen eye to eye, but they didn't expect to meet each other today.
Cicero smiled and said: "Karl, I heard that you have been in that wild land in the east in recent years. I wonder if you have found anything good."
Karl's face darkened and he said displeasedly: "Cicero, be careful with your words. Sooner or later, this will cause big trouble for your family."
Cicero snorted coldly: "This is not China, who can control me? So what if I say so, is it possible that those idiots can still punish me?"
Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes, and the aura on his body slowly rose.
Yan Fei's pretty face was also covered with frost. This Cicero was so outrageous that he didn't even care about their presence.
Karl liked Chinese culture very much and did not tolerate such blasphemy. He said coldly: "Cicero, you'd better not anger me!"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Cicero's mouth, and he said nothing more. He just wanted to see how ugly Karl's face would be after the auction was over.
Karl said to Ye Qiu and Yan Fei: "I'm sorry for letting this idiot disturb my interest."
At this time, the aura on Ye Qiu's body dissipated instantly, and he waved his hand: "It's okay."
The auction will start soon.
After the auctioneer came on stage and gave an impassioned speech, he immediately got down to business and began to display the unique treasures one by one.
"Everyone is watching. The first exhibit is a brooch. This brooch once belonged to Queen Mary of Romania. She was the most beloved granddaughter of Alexander II the Great. The brooch was designed by the art master Carl Faberge! The starting price
$4 million!"
The first exhibit attracted a lot of people's attention, especially some women's eyes lit up.
It was a heart-shaped brooch with a sparkling crown decoration on it. Under the spotlight, it reflected a dreamlike brilliance.
"$4.3 million!"
"$4.4 million!"
…
"$6 million!"
Soon the price soared to 6 million, and was finally bought by a socialite for 6.5 million U.S. dollars, giving the auction a good start.
"The second exhibit is an emerald and diamond necklace. This dazzling jewelry once belonged to Mary Joseph, the last queen of Italy..."
"$9 million!"
"$1,000,000!"
The auctioneer's mood has always been very high. After all, it is a grand event in the jewelry industry, and each piece is a rare treasure. Being able to get a high price from his hands is definitely a supreme honor for his career.
"Next, let me introduce one of the most shining protagonists in this auction. It consists of 27 huge jade beads, ranging in diameter from 15.4 mm to 19.2 mm. It once belonged to a famous socialite
,Barbara Hutton…”
"This beautiful necklace was designed by the master designer Cartier. It is one of the most perfect and beautiful treasures in the world!"
"This is the Emerald Queen!"
"This is a unique treasure that the De Beers family generously displayed at a local auction!"
Everyone at the auction was suffocated. Looking at the beautiful and perfect jade necklace on the stage, which was like a work of art, they felt their blood boiling.
They did not expect that in this auction, the De Beers family would actually put up for auction such a rare treasure that can be ranked among the top ten jewelry in history.
The auctioneer took a deep breath and said with some excitement: "And her starting price is US$2,000,000, and each increase in price shall not be less than US$1,000,000!"
When he finished speaking, the scene quickly fell into fierce bidding. Especially the women's eyes were already red. If they could take a photo of this rare treasure, they would be willing to lose all their money.
Soon the price increased from US$2 million to US$3 million, and then reached US$4 million. Finally, it was sold to another jewelry family for US$46.5 million.
Seeing that someone else had succeeded, everyone else felt regretful, and apart from feeling regretful, they were also very surprised. The fact that the De Beers family could actually put up such a treasure for auction showed that they had a profound background.
And this is also the result that the De Beers family wants, to declare to everyone who is the number one family in the jewelry industry.
"Master, congratulations."
Bert laughed.
Karl smiled slightly, and when he was about to say something, a strange and sinister voice sounded next to him.
Cicero sneered and said: "Karl, you seem to have forgotten something."
