Elizabeth's little eyes suddenly opened wide. Boyfriend and husband are two completely different concepts!
There was a blush on her little face, but inside, she was even more excited and curious. Of course, it was pure and sincere curiosity.
As soon as she turned her head, Elizabeth rang the pager. Not long after, the door to the VIP room was opened, and a waiter in an auction house uniform walked in quickly with his head lowered.
As soon as they met, he knelt down on one knee, put one hand on his chest, and greeted Elizabeth: "Your Majesty, your Royal Highness, what are your orders?"
"Please go and get it."
Chapter 333 A not-so-good start
"and many more."
Just when the waiter respectfully accepted the order and turned around to go downstairs to call someone, Ooka Hongye suddenly called out to him.
Elizabeth and the waiter turned to look at her when they heard the sound, "Sister Hongye, do you have anything else to say?"
Elizabeth was quite confused, while Ooka Hongye nodded, but did not explain to her. He just said to the waiter: "I'm sorry, your trip may have been in vain. You can go down first. Sir, no need for the time being." Please come over."
The waiter looked at Elizabeth, and Elizabeth blinked cutely, but Ooka Momiji still didn't give any reason, and in the end, she had no choice but to nod in agreement.
When the waiter saw this, he bowed slightly silently, turned around and left directly.
"Sister Hongye? What happened??" As soon as the waiter left, Elizabeth stepped forward with curiosity and asked.
Ooka Hongye smiled warmly, looked out the window at the auction house again, stretched out his hand, pulled Elizabeth back to the room and sat down on the sofa.
"The auction is about to start. I think he would be unhappy if someone suddenly disturbed him at this time."
As Ooka Momiji finished speaking, the opening speech after a loudspeaker sounded in the auction venue, but Elizabeth didn't care about it at all. At least now that the auction had just begun, they had nothing to buy.
Ooka Momiji's words made her think a lot at once, especially her curiosity about Shimizu Koji, which reached a new level.
She didn't expect that Ooka Momiji would do it just because she was worried that Koji Shimizu would be disturbed and unhappy.
This was quite difficult for her to understand. Even if she knew something about Japanese culture, it was still difficult for her to understand.
After all, Ooka Momiji is a serious nonsense talker, right from the start.
She suddenly stopped the waiter because she had some other ideas.
-
The auction room is naturally different from the independent VIP room. In comparison, it can almost be said to be simple, but it is still a seat at least.
Anyway, Koji Shimizu didn't care about these details. As soon as the auction started, his attention was diverted as the host of the store, a beautiful blonde wearing a tight dress, appeared.
Of course, Shimizu Koji was only more concerned about the situation of this auction. For some unknown reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Is it Fujiko Mine?
Shimizu Koji turned his head and took a sneak peek in confusion, only to find that Mine Fujiko was also looking closely at the auctioneer on the stage. The first lot was already on the market. This woman now really looked like she had money stars in her eyes.
"Now, I, Catherine, will introduce to you the first auction item. This is a pendant set with a 28-carat top-grade emerald. It is a collection of Queen Louis of France in the 18th century. At that big brother Before it was named, Queen Louis gave it to a palace maid. Since then, this necklace that had followed Queen Louis to various banquets and ceremonies has disappeared.
As of today, before it was discovered by us, it has not reappeared in the world for two hundred years, and no one has seen its true appearance, except for the distinguished guests present now. "
The entire auction process was obviously well prepared. As the female auctioneer aroused everyone's interest, the two maids holding an upright tray also took off the silk covering it and placed it on the stage. The light has also dimmed a bit, so people who are closer may see it more clearly, while people who are far away can also see this green emerald gem ten times more clearly through the huge screen on the stage.
Not to mention others, even Koji Shimizu felt a little moved. There is no doubt that the weight of this opening is sufficient. The 28-carat emerald was once a collection of the last queen of France.
Koji Shimizu could clearly feel that Fujiko Mine's breathing beside him was gradually getting heavier.
And not only Mine Fujiko, many women present clearly had a 'light' in their eyes, even a terrifying light, especially those elderly ladies.
"you want?"
"How could you not want to! Do you know how much a 28-carat top-grade emerald is worth? At least eight million US dollars! Not to mention that this is a queen's collection!"
Fujiko Mine spoke without looking back, and the excitement and excitement in his tone really didn't hide it at all.
Qingshui Koji looked at it a few more times, and he didn't know what he thought of. The urge to want just now came to his heart again.
Of course, it was definitely not for Fujiko Mine. Shimizu Koji was still curious and guessing why Fujiko Mine had gone to such great lengths to come to this auction and what her next actions would be.
Tricking him? That's a high probability? But he wouldn't get much of these precious gems by tricking him, and Shimizu Koji didn't think Fujiko Mine would have such a small appetite.
However, I can't control that much now. The auction officially begins in an undercurrent atmosphere.
"Starting price - five million euros!! Each bid increase must not be less than one hundred thousand euros!"
There is no doubt that this reserve price is ridiculously low. Now, the exchange rate between the euro and the US dollar is almost one to one, and obviously, it is impossible to fail the auction.
"On the 25th, five and a half million!"
"No. 43, six million!"
"No. 78, seven and a half million!"
"No. 129, ten million!"
Looking at the heated atmosphere, even if someone put a gun to the heads of those ladies, they would probably still be bidding fiercely!
However, with the sharp rise in prices, there are obviously far fewer people who want to bid. If the threshold exceeds 10 million, the rest is almost a matter of how much they are willing to pay for the historical added value of this necklace.
Fujiko Mine remained silent, and did not even joke with Shimizu Koji. He just watched quietly. When a quote of 12 million came out, Shimizu Koji finally raised the sign in his hand with a calm expression. .
"No. 189, thirteen million!"
At this price point, an increase of one million is already a lot. A real auction is not like those movies and TV shows where millions are added at every turn. When Koji Shimizu's quotation came out, the original one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand and two hundred thousand were added up. A noble lady, they all stopped.
As a handsome boy with a young face, Shimizu Koji undoubtedly became the focus of the scene at this moment. Of course, he only attracted the attention of many ladies. After all, the entry threshold for this auction was also thousands. Start with a fortune.
"Thirteen million! Is there any higher?!" Catherine paused and shouted loudly.
Being an auctioneer is also a technical job. She has to raise the mood loudly without losing her temper, and she can't go too far and offend the people who are bidding. In short, Catherine's professionalism is enough. After just asking a question, she paused. In three seconds, the countdown begins and the final word is ready.
"Thirteen million, first time!"
"Thirteen million, the second time!"
"No. 2, fifteen million!"
"Fifteen million! The guests in VIP Room 2 bid fifteen million!"
Catherine suddenly became excited again. She raised her head, and many people on the court also raised their heads. However, on the terrace of VIP Room 2, there was only one maid standing holding a sign. Obviously, the person who made the decision didn't even have a foothold.
Koji Shimizu raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect to be called out at the last moment, but this was considered a normal situation. After just a second's pause, he raised his placard again, and his action had naturally caused a stir. Fujiko Mine paid great attention, and was even surprised.
But Fujiko Mine would naturally not disturb Koji Shimizu at this time.
"No. 189, million!"
"No. 2, sixteen million!"
"Number 189, million!"
Just when everyone thought that Shimizu Koji would get into a fight with VIP No. 2, on the terrace of the VIP room, the maid raised her sign again, but she was immediately silenced by Shimizu Koji.
"No. 2, million!"
Chapter 334: What to do if you make your husband anxious? Waiting online!
Twenty million, Shimizu Koji actually felt a little uncomfortable in his pocket when he bid one thousand sixty. Twenty million, although he had so much money, there was no need to continue to pay a premium on a temporary auction item.
After giving up, Catherine saw that Shimizu Koji no longer raised the sign. This time she just asked as usual if there was any increase in price, and then directly started to make the final decision.
"Twenty million for the third time! Congratulations to the guests in VIP Room 2!"
At the auction, the main thing was that being rich was the last word. Fujiko Mine saw that Koji Shimizu failed to bid, and while Catherine was introducing the second lot, she quickly pulled Koji Shimizu's arm.
"Sako-kun, did you just-?"
"Ok?"
Fujiko Mine's big watery eyes showed a little bit of unconfidence, but more of it was a kind of sparkling tenderness that was touched.
"You, did you want to buy it for me just now?"
Shimizu Koji's eyelids blinked five times in a row at lightning speed, and then he nodded silently in a very dignified manner.
Anyway, it’s not like he didn’t buy it. Since Fujiko Mine was so moved, he would just follow her heart and let her continue to be moved.
"Actually, I also think that necklace matches your style very well. Although it was just a not-so-good accident between us, I am willing to buy this order for you, Fujiko, as an extra parting gift. However, it is a pity. That’s fine if you don’t get it.”
Shimizu Koji finished speaking in a pretentious manner. Suddenly, his brain began to spin rapidly again, and he quickly continued to add: "Of course, Fujiko, you can't like everyone, that would be very boring. We will stick to the original plan next. Let’s take the Lavender Tear first and then see what happens.”
"Did you buy Lavender Tears for me too?"
Mine Fujiko looked helplessly and clamped Shimizu Koji's arms to her chest, but in response, Shimizu Koji just rolled his eyes at her.
Sure enough, his skill was still not enough. At least he was not able to tell whether this woman was pretending or showing some true feelings.
"Of course not. Well, Fujiko, you should have your own goals. You have been thinking about this auction for several days."
"It's not just a few days~~, I started looking forward to it half a year ago~"
Fujiko Mine retracted her hands and stopped rubbing Shimizu Koji. She smiled slightly and blinked frivolously. She looked very confident and had a wonderful sense of mystery.
"Well, I'm also very interested. I don't know what kind of precious treasures Fujiko is interested in."
Qingmizu Koji said with a faint smile, the little trial between the two ended here.
Turning his attention to the stage again, this time it was a bit more ordinary. It was just a larger diamond. Koji Shimizu was not very interested in it, and the final transaction price was only 4.5 million.
Koji Shimizu stopped bidding, but when the auctioneer Catherine introduced the dazzling gems one by one, Koji Shimizu couldn't help but participate in the bidding twice. However, very unexpectedly, he The two bids he participated in were blocked by VIP No. 2 one after another.
No matter how slow his response was, Koji Shimizu felt something was wrong, and Fujiko Mine's eyes showed a bit of curiosity, "Have you offended anyone in the UK?"
"No." Shimizu Koji frowned and answered briefly and forcefully.
Regardless of whether it was a coincidence or not, he needed to verify it now. Another auction item was brought up on the stage, an jade bracelet with a starting price of two million euros.
"No. 189, two million."
Koji Shimizu didn't wait any longer this time and directly called out the reserve price. Not only was he testing, but he also really wanted to buy it.
And sure enough, as soon as he took action, VIP Room No. 2 upstairs immediately followed suit and raised signs. The maid was probably not given any orders.
On the field, many discerning people naturally saw something. Koji Shimizu looked like a young man, but no one doubted his net worth, a bracelet worth two million, so no one took the initiative to join them. Under bidding.
"No. 2, three million."
"No. 189, four million."
"No. 2, five million."
The starting price has already doubled, and only two rounds of bidding have gone by. Seeing this, Koji Shimizu felt there was no need to test the waters any further. There was no doubt that the other party had indeed set his sights on him.
Five million, he naturally did not follow up, Catherine on the stage once again announced the result with excitement, "Congratulations to the guests in VIP Room No. 2!"
In this situation, it is difficult for a person to feel better, especially for Koji Shimizu, who is probably making his first public appearance in the UK. Naturally, he feels a little depressed and confused.
Who the hell is this? Of course, Fujiko Mine could completely guess the bad mood of Koji Shimizu. She gently held Koji Shimizu's hand with her beautiful hand and said nothing, but Koji Shimizu couldn't help but look at her more.
"You can come and bid later."
Of course what Shimizu Koji was talking about was the Lavender Tears, but when Fujiko Mine heard this, her face quickly became embarrassed, "Um, we seem to be the same number——"
Apart from anything else, the moment Fujiko Mine thought of this, her mood suddenly became less wonderful.
She was still thinking about how to comfort Shimizu Koji, but now——, well, she had no intention of buying it at first. Mine Fujiko silently looked towards the stage. On the side, Shimizu Koji was squinting at the moment, and he was also keen. Noticed the look in her eyes.
And coincidentally, neither of them spoke or communicated again.
Soon, the Lavender Tears that Shimizu Koji wanted were actually just a natural purple gemstone, and the starting price was only three million. However, Shimizu Koji felt that this gem was really compatible with his senior sister, and it belonged to that category. He seemed to be a perfect match at first glance, and he happened to be visiting his senior sister's house to meet her parents, so he paid special attention to her.
The few items he participated in the auction before were actually related to people with good relationships around him. Koji Shimizu just bid for it, but compared to the Lavender Tears, the compatibility of those gems with other people was not the same. So good, but Koji Shimizu doesn't think the gems and Xiao Ai are a good match. Even Shiho feels weird wearing these.
My Shiho wife is still more suitable to buy those luxury goods, which are fashionable, individual and charming. The bag I ordered in Osaka last time will probably arrive this time when I go back.
On the stage, after Catherine gave a brief introduction to Lavender Tears, the bidding officially began, and Shimizu Koji's bottom price this time was - everything, or nothing.
"No. 189, million!"
Instantly, the venue was in an uproar! The people who were originally holding up the signs all stopped their movements and looked towards the enemy.
However, as Koji Shimizu expected, there was an even bigger victim.
"No. 2, twenty-one million!"
