The auction is about to begin, and the auction hall of Christie's auction house is crowded and lively!
Many jewelers and individual buyers from all over the world have gathered in this auction hall, chatting and laughing with their friends while waiting for the auction to start, ready to fight!
While talking, the door to the lounge on the right side in front of the auction hall suddenly opened. Under the leadership of Henry, Ye Tian and Betty walked into the auction hall hand in hand and appeared in everyone's sight!
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, all stayed in the lounge.
Through the surveillance footage provided by Christie's auction house, they are always keeping an eye on the situation in the auction hall, just in case!
If something unexpected happens in the auction hall, Matisse and the others can rush out of the lounge at any time and provide protection for Ye Tian and Betty as quickly as possible!
In addition, the Dutch translator provided by Christie's auction house also stayed in the lounge and provided translation services to Ye Tian through wireless headphones.
Although Antwerp is located in a Dutch-speaking area, the buyers in this auction come from all over the world. The language used by the auctioneer is English, so there is no language barrier!
After entering the auction hall, Ye Tian quickly glanced at the whole place, put on a bright smile, and nodded to everyone!
Then he took Betty and strode forward with Henry, heading straight to the two seats in the middle of the first row of the auction hall, which were the VIP seats reserved for them by Christie's auction house!
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 completely exploded.
"Go! Why is this crazy guy Steven here? I watched the news this morning. Isn't he still in Brussels? Is it possible that he came to Belgium just for this jewelry and diamond auction?
If this is the case, then there will be big trouble. According to legend, Steven has always been extremely ruthless in the auction house. It is not a good thing to compete with such a crazy guy! "
"There's something good to watch today! I don't know what Steven's goal is? It's best not to conflict with me, otherwise, my brother will probably fail"
“Have you seen the portable safe that Steven is carrying? I’m sure that what’s inside is 100% Queen Mary’s top-notch jewelry!
It would be great to see those priceless treasures with your own eyes, especially the famous diamond necklace that is closely related to the French Revolution and is said to be unprecedented. It must be extremely luxurious! "
Amidst the heated discussion, Ye Tian and Betty had already walked to their seats, turned around and sat down.
Immediately afterwards, Henry began to introduce him to several heavyweights sitting around, who were either world-famous top jewelers or super rich people.
Of course, there are several women who are crazy about diamonds. Behind every woman is a super rich man or a super rich family!
"Steven, this is Mr. Benin, a famous Israeli diamond tycoon, from the Steinmetz family, an Israeli business tycoon, and the richest diamond producer in the world.
This is Mr. Zheng from Hong Kong, your compatriot. His family is the largest jewelry and diamond retailer in the world and the largest diamond buyer in Antwerp.
This Mr. Liu is also from Hong Kong. He is a business wizard and a famous super-rich man in Hong Kong. You must have heard that the lady next to you is Mr. Liu’s wife.
The man in the distance is Mr. Lawrence, the founder of the famous British luxury jewelry brand Graf. The lady sitting next to him is from Van Cleef & Arpels..."
Following Henry's introduction, Ye Tian said hello to these famous figures in the jewelry field one by one and introduced himself, his performance impeccable.
After the introduction, Henry said goodbye and left to prepare for the upcoming auction!
Ye Tian nodded to everyone again, then turned back, while he and Betty were looking through the auction manual, chatting in a low voice, waiting for the auction to start.
After chatting for a few words, a voice suddenly came from the left.
"Mr. Steven, can I ask if you have any of Queen Mary's top-notch jewelry in this portable safe?
If so, can you open my eyes and appreciate those top-notch jewelry pieces? Especially the famous diamond necklace, I really want to see it with my own eyes!
That is a famous diamond necklace that is said to be unprecedented. As a jeweler, I really want to see how luxurious it is and whether it is unprecedented! "
The person who asked was the Israeli jewelry tycoon Benin!
While asking, his eyes were always fixed on the portable safe on the ground in front of Ye Tian, his eyes were extremely hot, and his eyes were shining brightly!
Not only him, but 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. Every eye was full of envy, wishing they could take it for themselves. have!
Ye Tian turned to look at the Israeli diamond tycoon next to him, then said with a smile:
"You are right, Mr. Bening. What is in this safe is exactly the top-notch jewelry that I found in the antique shop in Brussels that originally belonged to Queen Mary!
Because I was in a hurry, I didn’t have time to put them into 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 highest-security vault in Antwerp and store them properly. It would be a bit too ostentatious to carry them around like this.
These jewelry items have been around for a long time, and there is still a lot of noise surrounding them. This is not a suitable place, so I am very sorry that I cannot meet your request! "
"Hey! In this case, let's forget it. It's such a pity. This is indeed not a suitable place!"
Bening sighed softly, his words full of regret.
As soon as he finished speaking, a string of Hong Kong messages suddenly came from behind Ye Tian, coming from Mr. Liu, the super-rich Hong Kong man sitting in the second row.
"Xiaoye, how much older am I than you? Is it okay to call you that?"
Ye Tian turned to look at this Hong Kong compatriot, then nodded with a smile and said:
"No problem, Mr. Liu. I am much younger than you. There is no problem for you to call me Xiaoye. It sounds friendly. Do you have anything to ask?"
Mr. Liu chuckled and nodded, a look of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
"That's it, Xiaoye, I saw a picture of that famous diamond necklace on the news this morning. It is indeed extremely luxurious and unique!
You also know that I like to buy all kinds of top-grade jewelry and diamonds, and I never tire of it. I want to buy that famous diamond necklace and give it to my wife!
It’s easy to talk about the price. As long as it is within a reasonable range, I can accept it. What about it, are you interested in selling that famous diamond necklace? "
Without any hesitation, Ye Tian immediately gave the answer, of course, rejection!
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Liu, I already have a clear plan on how to deal with Queen Mary's top-notch jewelry, and I don't plan to change it.
I am going to make a deal with the Louvre or the Palace of Fontainebleau, exchange those jewelry pieces for a batch of heavyweight Chinese antiques, and then transport the exchanged antiques back to China!
If nothing goes wrong, the museum directors of the Louvre and Fontainebleau Palace in France, as well as relevant appraisers, are rushing to Antwerp at this time and will be here soon.
Another point is that although those jewelry pieces 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 surrounding Queen Mary's top-notch jewelry. It can be said that there were tons of heads killed, but this is the most taboo for us Chinese! "
Hearing this, Mr. Liu couldn't help but fell silent.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said:
"You are right, Xiaoye, the smell of blood on those things is too strong and there are too many innocent souls attached to them! They are indeed not suitable for us Chinese to wear, especially us Hong Kong people, who are more particular about these things!"
While talking, the door of another lounge behind the auction table opened, and the host and auctioneer walked out one after another and stepped onto the auction table!
