Early the next morning, out of danger, the heartless Sun Zeyan found Ning Chen, "Master, I'll take you around London. Is there anywhere you want to go? Big Ben or somewhere else?"
Ning Chen looked at Sun Zeyan with a crazy look. This is not the way to seek death, right?
"Aren't you going back to China?"
"Aren't you here? In the foreseeable future, I'm afraid I won't be able to go anywhere except downtown Xiamen. Facing such a miserable future, why don't I take advantage of you and go shopping around now?
?" Sun Zeyan said with a smile, not seeing the so-called "painful future" at all...
"There's nothing I want to go to." Ning Chen shook his head. What's there to do with Sun Zeyan? He's not Zhou Mengyao.
"How about going to see the auction? I have only seen world-class auctions in movies before. The hotel sent me two invitations to the lobby a few days ago." Sun Zeyan turned over the table at the door of the room.
, found a brochure and two invitation letters, "Maybe they think of me as the rich second generation of China."
Ning Chen glanced at him sideways, aren't you a rich second generation from China?
"There are both Eastern and Western items, including palace utensils, diamonds and jewelry, Western oil paintings and Eastern ink paintings. Let me go, there is also a Longquan sword said to be from the Warring States Period." Sun Zeyan said, flipping through the brochure in his hand.
"Warring States Period?" Ning Chen raised his eyes and asked softly.
"Yes, yes, there are photos in this brochure." Seeing that Ning Chen seemed interested, Sun Zeyan hurriedly handed the brochure to him.
Ning Chen took the album and saw that what was in the photo was a typical Chinese-style bronze sword, less than fifty centimeters long, finely carved, with a round handle and a wide blade.
After looking through it again, there were some other porcelains and bronzes, all belonging to China.
"Starting at two o'clock in the afternoon? Okay, let's go to the auction." Ning Chen looked at the time, nodded and said.
He had also dealt with the auction house once, but at that time he only handed over the gold coins and gems to the auction house without personally participating, and the subsequent exchanges were not pleasant, which directly triggered the London Golden Dragon incident, and an old family also
Therefore it was destroyed.
"No problem!" Sun Zeyan's eyes lit up.
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Camilla Auction House is one of the famous auction houses in Europe. The marble pillars with some weather marks show the history and heritage of this auction house. The parking lot on the left is full of luxury cars. Of course, there are also
There are countless professional managers in suits and ties who are communicating with their employers on their mobile phones. They are flipping through brochures and observing the people around them. They are here as shooting agents.
Ning Chen and Sun Zeyan came to the auction house with the invitation letter and learned that they had to pay a deposit of 100,000 euros before they could participate in the auction. Then Sun Zeyan saw Ning Chen take out a bank card and easily swiped 100,000 euros.
Europe.
"Master, how come you have so many euros?" Sun Zeyan asked blankly.
"I won tens of millions in the casino last time, but I haven't had time to exchange it for soft girl coins." Ning Chen said calmly, seemingly unconcerned.
"I'll go, you pretentious guy, I'll give you ninety-nine points. One less point is because I'm afraid you'll be proud." Sun Zeyan whispered to himself, and then saw an even brighter smile on the face of the account manager who swiped the card.
With a smile, he enthusiastically called a blonde etiquette lady and guided the two of them to their seats.
"This guy knows Chinese." Sun Zeyan murmured to himself.
Less than five minutes after the two of them sat down, an auctioneer walked up to the front desk, looked around, looked with satisfaction at the nearly full hall of guests, knocked the gavel in his hand, and announced that the auction had officially begun.
"Camilla Auction House is quite famous in Europe, but it doesn't have a branch in Asia, so it's not famous here." Sun Zeyan looked around at the beauties and said to Ning Chen, "This is Camilla's.
The spring auction can be regarded as one of the top auctions in Europe, and is said to be no less than the top auctions in the world."
Ning Chen didn't reply because the auction had already started.
First up was a ruby of at least thirty carats, which was polished into the shape of a heart and set on a gold necklace. Together with several other smaller rubies, it formed a piece of art that shone with golden red light.
When the women in the audience saw this necklace, their eyes turned red at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
"Half a million!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
The bidders are usually female customers, or high-rollers with beautiful women next to them. For them, buying a ruby necklace for hundreds of thousands of euros is still a good deal.
Ning Chen did not participate. For Zhou Mengyao, the necklace was too gorgeous, so the final buyer was an elderly white man.
He bought this ruby necklace for 850,000, and then the beautiful woman next to him kissed her on the spot and looked around like a lioness.
The auction soon entered a fierce bidding stage. The various auction items were indeed rare art treasures. Many of them were things that Ning Chen could only see online and in museums before. Today, they are all displayed one by one.
It went up to the auction stage for people to appreciate and bid.
"A solid gold ring from the Habsburg family in the 13th century, starting price is 500,000!"
"Paintings and artworks from Eastern Japan, the starting price is 300,000 yuan!"
"This is a masterpiece by Sphinci that has been secretly circulated among several European families. This is the first time it has been auctioned. The starting price is five million!"
"The auction item below comes from the ancient Eastern China. It is said to be a pair of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty's court supplies eight hundred years ago."
The auctioneer motioned to the hostess to lift the red silk covering the lot, revealing a pair of cyan porcelain vases underneath.
"It is said that this pair of vases was once placed in the Eastern Emperor's bedroom. If anyone takes a photo of the vase, you can put it in your own bedroom and enjoy the feeling of the Eastern Emperor. The starting price is three million!"
"Three million and one million!"
"Three million and two million!"
Ning Chen looked at the people holding placards, they were obviously agents.
"The people behind them are probably rich people from China, who are inconvenient or don't have time to come to the scene in person." Sun Zeyan introduced in a serious manner.
"I've seen the news." Ning Chen said angrily.
These stolen goods, which were obtained from unknown sources, have been kept in the secret rooms or safes of certain families. Now that there are more wealthy people in China, they are taken out and used to exploit their sense of national identity.
Specifically used to deceive them.
Moreover, there are some shills on site, which often make bidders pay more to buy these things that belong to them.
"Haha..." Ning Chen glanced at the brochure in his hand, preparing to make another big news.
