Chapter 1287 The rich gather
The auction is about to begin, and the auction hall of Christie's Auction House is crowded with people and very lively!
Many jewelers and individual buyers from all over the world have gathered in this auction hall, chatting and chatting with friends around you while waiting for the auction to begin and ready to fight!
While talking, the door of the lounge on the right side of the front of the auction hall suddenly opened. Under Henry's leadership, Ye Tian and Betty walked into the auction hall together and appeared in everyone's vision!
At this time, Ye Tian was still holding the titanium alloy portable safe in his hand, which was very eye-catching.
Mattis and Anderson, Taylor and Lisa, as well as several other armed security personnel, were all left in the lounge.
Through the surveillance footage provided by Christie's auction house, they always stare at the situation in the auction hall just in case!
If there is any emergency in the auction hall, Matisse and the others can rush out of the lounge at any time to provide protection for Ye Tian and Betty as quickly as possible!
In addition, the Dutch translator provided by Christie's Auction also stayed in the lounge and provided translation services to Ye Tian through wireless headphones.
Although Antwerp is located in the Dutch-speaking area, the buyers of this auction come from all over the world. The auctioneer uses English and there is no language barrier!
After entering the auction hall, Ye Tian quickly scanned the audience, and piled up a bright smile on his face, nodding to everyone!
Then he took Betty and followed Henry to strode forward, heading straight to the two positions in the middle of the first row of the auction hall, which were the VIP seats they reserved for Christie's auction!
The first moment they appeared, everyone in the auction hall was stunned for a moment, as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the entire auction hall was completely in full swing.
"I'll go! How could this crazy guy Steven appear here? Isn't he still in Brussels when he read the news in the morning? Could it be that he came to Belgium for this jewelry and diamond auction?
If this is the case, then the trouble will be great. According to legend, this guy Steven has always been extremely cruel in the auction hall. It is not a good thing to compete with such a crazy guy!”
"I've watched a good show today! I don't know what this guy Steven's goal is? It's better not to conflict with me, otherwise, my buddy will probably be back in a bad mood."
"Did you see the portable safe in Steven's hand? I'm sure the things contained there are 100% of the top jewelry of Queen Mary!
It would be great if you could see those priceless treasures with your own eyes, especially the famous diamond necklace that is closely related to the French Revolution and is known as unprecedented, which must be extremely luxurious!”
Amidst the heated discussion, Ye Tian and Betty had already walked to their seats and turned around and sat down.
Immediately afterwards, Henry began to introduce several heavyweights sitting around him, either world-renowned top jewelers or super rich people.
Of course, there are several women who are crazy about diamonds. Each woman has a super rich man or a super rich family behind her!
"Steven, this is Mr. Benin, a famous Israeli diamond tycoon, from the family of Israeli business giant Steinmetz, and is the richest diamond producer in the world.
This is Mr. Zheng from Hong Kong, your countryman. His family is the world's largest jewelry and diamond retailer and the largest diamond buyer in Antwerp.
Mr. Liu is also from Hong Kong. He is a business genius and a well-known super rich man in Hong Kong. I believe you have heard of this lady next to him. The lady next to him is Mr. Liu's wife.
A little further away is Mr. Lawrence, the founder of the famous British luxury jewelry brand Graff. The lady sitting next to him is from Van Cleef and Arpels,…”
With Henry's introduction, Ye Tian greeted these famous figures in the jewelry field one by one and introduced himself, showing impeccable performance.
After the introduction, Henry said goodbye and left to prepare for the upcoming auction!
Ye Tian nodded to everyone again, then turned around and chatted in a low voice while browsing through the auction manual with Betty, waiting for the auction to begin.
After chatting for a few words, a voice suddenly came from the left.
"Mr. Steven, can you ask? Is this portable safe containing the top jewelry of Queen Mary?
If so, can I open my eyes and enjoy those top jewelry? Especially the famous diamond necklace, I want to see it with my own eyes!
It was a famous diamond necklace that was unprecedented. As a jeweler, I really want to see how luxurious it is and whether it is unprecedented!”
The person who asked was Israeli jewelry tycoon Benin!
While asking, his eyes were always staring at the portable safe on the ground in front of Ye Tian. His eyes were extremely hot and his eyes were shining with light!
Not only him, other famous jewelers and super rich buyers sitting in the first row, were also staring at the portable safe on the ground in front of Ye Tian. Everyone was full of envy and wanted to take it for themselves!
Ye Tian turned his head to look at the Israeli diamond tycoon next to him, and then said with a smile:
"You guessed it right, Mr. Benin, this safe is the top jewelry I found in the antique shop in Brussels, which originally belonged to Queen Mary!
Because time is too haste, I haven't had time to deposit them in the vault, so I took them with me and brought them to this auction hall. It was a bit abrupt and made everyone laugh!
When this jewelry and diamond auction is over, I will send them to the vault with the highest security level in Antwerp and keep them properly. It is a bit too ostentatious to carry.
These jewelry has been reappeared in the world, and there are still many noises around them. This is not a suitable place, so I am very sorry, I can't meet your requirements!"
"Hey! Since that's the case, let's forget it. It's a pity. This is indeed not a suitable place!"
Benin sighed softly, his words full of regret.
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of Hong Kong public relations suddenly came from behind Ye Tian, from Mr. Liu, who was sitting in the second row, the Hong Kong super rich man.
"Xiao Ye, how old are you? Can you call me that?"
Ye Tian turned his head to look at this Hong Kong compatriot, then smiled and nodded and said:
"No problem, Mr. Liu, I am much younger than you. There is no problem with calling me Xiaoye. It sounds kind enough. Do you have anything to ask?"
Mr. Liu nodded with a chuckle, and a look of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"That's right, Xiaoye, I saw the picture of the famous diamond necklace on the news this morning. It was indeed extremely luxurious and unique!
You also know that I like to buy all kinds of top jewelry and diamonds, and I enjoy it. I want to buy that famous diamond necklace and give it to my wife!
The price is easy to say, as long as it is within a reasonable range, I can accept it. How about it, are you interested in selling that famous diamond necklace?”
Without any hesitation, Ye Tian immediately gave the answer, of course he refused!
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Liu, I have a clear solution to how to deal with Queen Mary's top jewelry, and I don't plan to change it.
I am going to make a deal with the Louvre or Fontainebleau Palace, exchange those jewelry for a batch of heavyweight Chinese antique art, and then transport the exchanged antique art back to China!
If as expected, the directors of the Louvre and Fontainebleau Palace in France, as well as relevant appraisers, were rushing towards Antwerp and would soon arrive here.
Another point is that although those jewelry are extremely luxurious and even unique, they are not suitable for us Chinese to wear and are not good things.
God knows how many people died in the top jewelry surrounding Queen Mary, and it can be said that the killings are rolling, but this is the most taboo thing for us Chinese!
Hearing this, Mr. Liu couldn't help but feel silent.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said:
"You are right. Xiao Ye, the bloody smell on those things is too strong and there are too many evil spirits! It is indeed not suitable for us Chinese people to wear, especially our Hong Kong people, so we pay more attention to these!"
Chapter completed!
