Sotheby's Auction House, also known as Sotheby's, can be said to be the oldest and most influential auction house in the world today!
Its history can be traced back to 1744.
In the early days of Sotheby's, it mainly focused on auctioning various fine books, but later it gradually became involved in all aspects.
Amazing auction cases have happened at Sotheby's.
This auction was held in a small white building at the Sotheby's branch in Moscow.
The auction started at nine in the morning and ended at 11:30, followed by a small exchange meeting after lunch.
This is the normal process for every auction, and then continues in the afternoon...
Under normal circumstances, the auction is not the most important thing to pay attention to, but the free exchange meeting afterwards.
This is a good time to expand your network.
At the door of the small building, there were several well-dressed Russian receptionists!
There were also several burly security guards in black suits conducting entry security checks.
Of course, all this is just on the surface. An auction house that has been passed down for hundreds of years. If it had such little power, it would probably have been robbed many times...
According to gossip, the Sotheby's auction branch in Moscow has the ability to mobilize a regiment-level army in Moscow city at any time.
The time now is exactly eight o'clock, and there are many luxury cars parked in front of Sotheby's. It can definitely hold a large-scale luxury car exhibition.
The men or women who come here are accompanied by handsome members of the opposite sex, but most of the men among them have Russia's signature body shape and a big belly...
These top rich people from all over the world are all very impressive and are basically in their forties or fifties.
Next to Liu Shiba, the enchanting Zheng Liyuan still attracted the unscrupulous attention of many wealthy people.
If there was a comparison between men about the looks and figure of their female companions, Liu Shiba would definitely win with an absolute advantage.
Who told him to have such a beautiful woman with a devilish figure and a voluptuous figure next to him?
However, these rich people are all very well-educated. They just pay attention. They will never be like those beastly dudes in China. When they see a woman they covet, they will throw money at them, and if they can't get rid of them, they will kidnap them.
"Seeing these people makes me feel really poor."
Liu Shiba looked at those beauties with luxury cars and sighed with a smile!
He originally thought that he now had some spare money, but compared with these Russian oligarchs, you are nothing.
"You are satisfied. Think about it, you have only been around for a few months. You have done things that others cannot do in their lifetime, and you still have the rank of lieutenant general."
Zheng Liyuan's tone was quite sour and dissatisfied.
Liu Shiba is really insatiable.
"Yes, even you want to throw yourself into my arms, I'm very satisfied!"
Liu Shiba shook his head with regret, and led an angry Zheng Liyuan towards the auction house.
Zheng Liyuan still had a general understanding of big things and took the initiative to hold Liu Shiba's arm.
The two of them passed the security check seemingly intimately and walked into the auction house. Zheng Liyuan's swaying waist and titanium alloy eyeballs were blinding.
On the first floor of the small building, many precious porcelains, various types of jewelry and jade are displayed.
The wealth value of this level alone will probably blind countless rich people...
Sotheby's in Moscow has three floors, and the second floor is where auctions and exchange meetings are held.
The third floor is an exhibition hall where more valuable items are displayed.
Although the items on the first floor are valuable, there are also many fakes.
However, these are extremely high imitations, so much so that they have escaped the eyes of countless experts or mechanical inspections, and are almost indistinguishable from the originals.
Sotheby's appraisers are not gods. They cannot distinguish the authenticity of all treasures.
However, most of the collections in the hall have one thing in common. Most of them are old objects that were lost overseas before the Chinese Empire.
Following the bustling flow of people, Liu Shiba and Zheng Liyuan slowly came to the second floor, sat down in the auction hall, and waited quietly for the auction to begin.
Liu Shiba and Zheng Liyuan did not go to the two appraisers at Sotheby's, Ivan Kerang and Ivan Sophia.
As time passed slowly, the flow of people in the venue gradually increased.
Rich people who are familiar or seem familiar are talking triumphantly.
These guys who are so poor that they only have money talk about the weather, the country's conditions, and beautiful women, but they don't talk about business.
The auction is not a good place to discuss business, it is a real battlefield, and everyone who comes in is a potential opponent.
If they want to discuss business, they might as well find a secluded private room, drink wine, play with beautiful women, and talk while having fun...
Most of the people in the auction house were wealthy people from various countries.
According to Zheng Liyuan's introduction, Liu Shiba learned that anyone who could get in here would be worth at least tens of billions of dollars.
If someone only has a few hundred million in cash, he or she will be embarrassed to say hello.
These rich men who are not usually seen often gather together in a tacit understanding at this moment.
They all came for the grand finale of Sotheby's final auction.
Among the crowd, there are many world celebrities, such as the so-called world's richest man Bill Gates, veteran rich man Walter, etc...
As for the small building outside the auction, it was even more crowded, and all kinds of luxury cars on both sides were lined up from the street to the end of the street...
Liu Shiba turned his head and looked around vigilantly. Behind a high platform, there were sixteen huge LCD screens.
I think there are some families, international buyers, or countries that directly conduct online auctions.
"Dangdang..."
At this time, the ancient wall clock on the wall rang nine times!
At nine o'clock, the auction officially begins...
In the auction, the atmosphere gradually became solemn, with a tragic atmosphere before the war.
The auction house is like a battlefield, either you die or I live...
………………
Sitting not far from Liu Shiba, there was an Asian man with a strange look on his face. He secretly stared at Liu Shiba's profile and back for a long time.
With his strong sense of perception, Liu Shiba clearly knew that this person was spying on him.
Liu Shiba frowned and thought to himself:
"Who is this guy? I haven't seen him before."
"Zheng Liyuan, that person keeps staring at me to see if I know you?"
Liu Shiba quietly raised his hand and asked.
Zheng Liyuan made a low-pitched gesture, turned her head and took a quick glance, then turned back and whispered:
"I don't seem to recognize him either. Maybe it was caused by magic..."
"I didn't want to go up there in the first place. In Russia, it's better to keep a low profile."
"snort!"
Zheng Liyuan snorted proudly and stood up calmly!
She pretended to adjust Liu Shiba's collar and looked extremely intimate.
In fact, in the blink of an eye, Zheng Liyuan was facing the Asian man head-on.
The middle-aged man with Asian complexion also noticed the abnormality of Liu Shiba and Zheng Liyuan. After hesitating for a while, he finally came over and asked very politely:
"Sir, madam, I think you look familiar. I would like to ask you your surname?"
This guy is very direct and speaks directly in Chinese!
This man is not stupid, and he knows very clearly whether he is a Chinese or not.
Strangely, this person's Chinese language is a bit weird and lame.
Liu Shiba's eyes moved, this person is not from China...
"Sorry, we don't know each other."
Zheng Liyuan stood aside and answered in English.
"But, I know you! Is this Mr. Chinese Magician who made a blockbuster appearance that day? Nice to meet you."
The middle-aged man continued to explain in broken Chinese.
This guy speaks really good Chinese and can be easily understood.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ito Mikage. Does this name remind you of anything, sir?"
The middle-aged man smiled and extended his hand to Liu Shiba very naturally, introducing himself.
"Liu Shiba, this is Zheng Liyuan."
Liu Shiba's nerves jumped violently, and he held Ito Shengjing's right hand without changing his expression...
"I heard people say that there are not many outstanding people in China, but after seeing the magic performed by Mr. Liu, I changed my mind a lot. Mr. Liu is really extraordinary!"
Ito Shengjing seems to be smiling but not smiling, and he has a clear meaning.
"It's just a little trick, not that exaggerated."
Liu Shiba's mind was racing. This guy's name is Ito Shengjing. He has the same surname as Ito Masako who disappeared from the underground palace. What is their relationship?
Ito Shengjing's eyes looked at Liu Shiba with a smile, as if he knew Liu Shiba's doubts, and explained with a smile:
"Yes, Masako Ito is my daughter."
Then, Ito Shengjing's face calmed down, he leaned over Liu Shiba's ear, and asked softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"My daughter Masako, have you slept with her?"
When Liu Shiba heard this, he grinned, his eyes turned cold, and he said calmly:
"without!"
Ito Shengjing nodded with satisfaction and responded casually:
"Zo! Masako, actually is here too..."
Listening to the strange words of the popular man next to Yamamoto Ryugi and Ito Morikage without changing his expression, Liu Shiba's heart began to shake violently and uncontrollably...
What did Ito Shengjing say just now?
Extremely authentic, Xuchang, China, local dialect?
