The next day, Paris, Sotheby's auction house, celebrities gathered.
There is only one item in today's auction, which is the famous Eye of Helen.
Because this auction item was so famous and valuable, Sotheby's simply took the opportunity to send out invitations. In addition to inviting political and business celebrities, collectors, and wealth tycoons, they also invited some film and television stars and aristocrats from aristocratic families.
It turned into a big high-society party.
Media from all walks of life also got the news and gathered at the entrance of the auction house. They raised their guns and cannons and kept snapping pictures.
Every time a guest gets off the bus, there will be a commotion.
Selsey, the daughter of the leader of the Magnesium Kingdom! Rich man Asco! Movie superstar Cate Brecht! Singing queen Rihanna! Pure-blood aristocrat Ali Tudor! Internationally famous collector Tanzania! In addition to these, they often appear in various
In addition to the celebrities appearing at various social occasions, the most exciting thing for the media is the arrival of Greenland’s new Queen Maggie! A big news happened in the Kingdom of Greenland some time ago. King Adamson announced his abdication and passed the throne to his only daughter Maggie.
From then on, Europe lost a beautiful princess and gained a beautiful young queen.
Although Greenland is only a small country and has little presence on the European continent or even in the world, Maggie has repeatedly appeared on the list of the 100 most beautiful people in the world because of her beauty. Various gossip magazines are particularly interested in her emotional life.
Now that Maggie has ascended the throne and is a single woman, the major media are naturally concerned about whether she has a boyfriend, when will she get married, and when will she have children.
This is Maggie's first public event since she ascended the throne, and the media has already been prepared to take special photos.
Sure enough, after the car arrived, the media's eyes lit up.
Queen Maggie was not alone, she even brought a male companion! What was even more shocking was that when the male companion showed up, everyone discovered that he was not a Caucasian, but a peerless handsome guy with an obvious oriental face! "I'm going to
, this is big news!”
“Queen Maggie’s boyfriend is an Oriental?”
"Are they Chinese, island people or Chaodao people?"
"The royal family would actually allow Queen Maji to find an Oriental as her boyfriend, my God!"
The media took pictures frantically, trying to get the news out as soon as possible.
At this moment, their communication tools started ringing, and after they were connected, their expressions became very strange.
Then, they silently deleted all the photos of Maggie and her male companion, and just pretended that this incident had never happened.
Li Xuan took Maggie's arm and walked into the auction grandly, without worrying that the photos would be spread.
Anyone from the wolf clan has said hello, who dares?
As soon as the two entered the stage, many eyes fell on Li Xuan.
Li Xuan saw several familiar faces at once.
Selsey, Kate, Rihanna, these are all old friends.
There was actually Asko, whom he had just met yesterday. He looked at him with a look of hatred and fear. When he saw Li Xuan looking back, he immediately turned his head away. He was really cowardly.
Of course, there are many people who don't know Li Xuan and just glanced at him without paying attention to him.
After all, he is just the boyfriend of the queen of a small country, nothing special.
As soon as Li Xuan sat down, his phone vibrated and received many messages.
Selsey: Awesome, hooking up with the Queen of Greenland again?
When do you plan to come to Magnesium Country?
Kate:Should I inform Mimi?
Rihanna: I helped you last time, when are you going to repay me?
...Li Xuan replied one by one with a slight smile.
More and more guests arrived, many of them world-renowned celebrities. Li Xuan and Maggie sat in the corner and did not attract much attention.
Maggie whispered: "I just got the news that there are several rich people who are determined to get the Eye of Helen."
"oh?
Who is there?"
Li Xuan actually didn't care.
Maggie said: "There is an Eagle Country consortium, which owns the second largest jewelry company in the world. They want to buy this diamond as a treasure for the store. They are the strongest competitors."
"There is also Ali, the oldest Tudor family in Europe. He is celebrating his 20th wedding anniversary recently and wants to take a photo of this diamond and give it to his wife."
"The other is the great collector Tanzania. This man is as rich as any country. Behind him is the royal family of the Middle East. He is very rich."
"These are the most likely bidders, and the others have slightly less financial resources."
Li Xuan nodded and said, "I understand."
Not long after, guests finished entering and the auction was about to begin.
The lights in the venue gradually went out, and the main light shone on the stage.
Soon, surrounded by a group of beauties, the protagonist of the auction appeared.
In the glass cover, a beautiful diamond necklace appeared in everyone's eyes.
So beautiful! Even if Li Xuan travels all over the fairy world and has seen countless rare treasures, he has to admit that this diamond is worth countless people going crazy for.
The Eye of Helen, with a net weight of 49 carats, has an extremely pure azure color. Just one glance will make you immersed in its dark and mysterious beauty.
The fact that nature can produce such wonderful treasures cannot be measured by money.
Compared with the Eye of Helen, the hundreds of broken diamonds surrounding it are simply nothing.
Everyone's eyes, especially those of women, were all focused on Helen's eyes, and they even forgot to breathe.
Even Maggie murmured: "It's so beautiful, so beautiful!"
Li Xuan smiled and said, "It's not bad. My cousin should like it."
Maggie was speechless, what do you mean you should like it?
As long as she is a normal woman, who wouldn’t like Helen’s Eyes?
Next, the host of the auction appeared, told everyone the story behind the diamond, and provided the appraisal certificate.
After completing all this process, the host announced that the bidding was about to begin.
As for the starting price, it is much cheaper than everyone expected, only 100 million magnesium gold.
Some of the world's most famous diamonds, African Star No. 1 and No. 2, as well as the Mountain of Light, are all in the Eagle King's royal family.
Among the diamonds auctioned in recent years, the "Century" and "Pink Star" are the most famous. The former is worth 100 million, and the latter is worth more than 70 million in magnesium gold.
The Eye of Helen surpasses the Century and Pink Star in both legendaryness and quality. The starting price of 100 million magnesium gold is indeed not high.
Many competitors are secretly accumulating their strength and eager to try.
The host announced that the auction has begun.
For a moment, everything was silent.
No one is in a hurry to bid, everyone is waiting for a late move.
More than ten seconds passed, and someone finally made the first bid.
It was Maggie. She raised her number and made the first bid in the room.
The host smiled and said: "No. 88 bids 105 million magnesium gold. Are there any other bids?"
