"The next lot is different from the previous ones."
The atmosphere on the scene immediately changed when the crystal box lit up, and the host's tone became slightly excited.
"Everyone, please look at this item. It's called the Saint George Slaying the Dragon Jade Bi."
"We know that Britain has three saints. The saint belonging to England is St. George, a military god. His status in foreign countries is equivalent to our Guan Gong."
"His image is commonly used on medals and paintings. This jade bi is engraved with his image, using Chinese materials and British imagery. It can be said to be a very bold attempt."
"The significance of this jade disk far exceeds its value. After it was given to the royal family as a gift for Britain's National Day, the Queen of England fell in love with it and placed it in the center of the reception hall."
"Later, it was presented to the British Royal Guard as a form of honor and was displayed in the Guard's exhibition room for a period of time, attracting a large number of tourists from all over the world to take photos and discuss it."
"Later, the theft of the jade disk caused a stir in Britain, sparking ongoing discussions that lasted for several months."
"This incident indirectly promoted China's jade culture and brought jade into the Western world. After this incident, the price of Chinese jade products in the international market more than tripled."
"After a series of twists and turns, this jade disk returned to our consignor, Jiang Lizhi. Therefore, this time it was put up for auction along with the Queen's belongings."
"Saint George Slaying the Dragon Jade Bi, starting price 31.2 million!"
There was an uproar in the venue. This was the item with the highest starting price in the auction so far.
Ordinary individuals could afford to buy the previous few items, but starting from this one, it is no longer something that ordinary players can buy.
But the value of this jade bi is indeed worth it. Not only is it of high quality and exquisite, but the story behind it is also legendary.
The most important thing is that it is like a father to some domestic jade merchants.
The price of jade has never been high abroad, but after the theft of the "St. George Slaying the Dragon Jade Bi", not only was the Royal Guard criticized by the British from top to bottom, but the jade bi also became popular, and the jade culture also became popular.
Some foreign jade merchants took advantage of this favorable situation and became successful overnight. Some of them made a fortune. They were extremely grateful to this jade bi and the thieves who stole it.
At the auction venue, many people raised their hands, and even Guo Menglin seemed eager to try.
After all, bringing this jade bi home is equivalent to bringing the face of the British Royal Guard home, which sounds very prestigious.
Xia You leaned against Chen Ya and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you just say that only the handbag was a gift? Isn't this thing a gift as well?"
After hearing this, Chen Ya chuckled.
Xia You thought of something and asked again: "Wait, it was stolen, how did it appear in your hands?"
Chen Ya smiled but said nothing.
Xia You was stunned for a long time before whispering, "How insidious."
She was shocked by the cunningness of the adult world.
The St. George Slaying the Dragon Jade Disk was finally sold at an extremely high price. The buyer was half sad and half happy to get the jade disk, but when the next item came out, he was dumbfounded again.
"Now, let's finally reveal the secret lots of this auction. There are three in total: the Queen's Pink Diamond Flower Brooch, the Queen's 12-carat Pink Diamond Ring, and the ultimate ace lot: the Queen's Ruby Tiara."
"Let me start with the brooch. This is the largest brooch in the Queen's collection, except for the one she wore when she ascended the throne. It was also the brooch she wore at her last event."
"It is well known that the Queen has a special love for brooches. This brooch, which accompanied her until the end, may also have special meaning to her."
"Starting price: 115 million yuan."
The scene was shaken again.
If the jade bi mentioned above is the entry point for high-end players, then this brooch is the real end of the ordinary journey.
When Lu Qianzi saw the three collections, especially the sparkling light on the two pink diamond jewelry, she grabbed Chen Ya's arm and screamed softly:
“I’ve never seen a diamond this big!”
"And it's a pink diamond." Lu Qingxuan also said.
She squinted her eyes and looked at the stage. Even the most aloof woman would find it difficult to control herself when faced with jewelry of this level.
To own such jewelry, financial resources alone are not enough.
Lu Qianzi felt a little weak.
Those items before were too far away from her life, so she didn't feel anything about them. But when this brooch appeared, she felt like she was in a dream.
She truly felt how outrageously high-end this auction was.
Liu Ruying looked at the brooch and murmured, "What kind of person would buy such a piece of jewelry?"
"There are always people with more money. If I had money, I would want it too." Lu Qingxuan clutched her arm tightly with her fingers and bit her lip. "I dare not look at it again. If I look at it again, I really want it."
Lu Qianzi said absentmindedly, "Today I finally felt the joy of being rich. I won't say anymore. I must work hard to make money!"
Liu Ruying reminded her, "If you're born with this kind of thing, you have it. If you're not born with it, you'll never have it in your life."
"I know! But, if you try harder and buy some inferior ones, that's fine...that's ok! Woo woo..." Lu Qianzi was talking when she suddenly felt sad.
"How could you possibly buy this kind of jewelry yourself? It must have been given to you by a man," said Miao Aoxue, who was sitting behind him. "Didn't you see? All the items being sold at this auction are women's, but the bidders are all men."
