As time went on, he worried that the prices of the items would get higher and higher, which would far exceed his expectations.
He has a net worth of around $300 million, much of which is invested in the stock market.
The spare money is actually the money earned from the few paintings that were just auctioned.
Therefore, the budget he could shoot had to be kept below 30 million francs, preferably below 10 million, otherwise it would be painful to spend more.
When another item was displayed on the screen, Lin Sheng's eyes immediately lit up.
"Wow! What a beautiful necklace!" Sakura Chiyo exclaimed.
It was a prismatic ruby necklace, wrapped and strung together with unknown metals.
This is definitely the most beautiful gem Lin Sheng has ever seen, because neither sapphire nor amethyst shines as brightly as it.
The starting price of this necklace is not low either, it is 4 million, and each bid increase cannot be less than 300,000.
Regardless of the weight, size, or the value of the ruby itself, this necklace could not be auctioned for such a high price.
However, only those who truly understand treasures will not buy gems by the kilogram like they buy pork or vegetables.
The Bible praises ruby as the most precious gemstone in the world.
Because it symbolizes love that never fades.
Compared to diamonds, which are transparent and not as rare as rubies, Lin Sheng feels that rubies are much better than diamonds.
He glanced back at Maruzen Skiing and saw that her neck was empty.
How can a lady from a noble family not have something around her neck? Lin Sheng also thinks this necklace is perfect for Maruzen skiing.
She likes red, so she will look great wearing this.
So he raised the number plate in his hand without hesitation.
Maruzen was skiing but had no idea what Lin Sheng was thinking. She only saw Lin Sheng turning around to look at her, and she opened her arms and hugged Lin Sheng's neck.
Sitting in this position makes it convenient to hug her at times like this.
"Little brother, do you want to buy this necklace? Do you want your sister to help you get it? You don't need it. Are you planning to give it to that horse girl?"
After hearing what Maruzen Skiing said, several horse girls looked over.
Yes, I must have bought it as a gift, but who should I give it to?
Sakura Chiyo looked at the pink pearl on her neck and felt that it was not her.
Xinlida also felt that he was not very suitable.
She is too young to wear this.
The most suitable one would be a horse girl who is a little older and has a variety of charms.
At first they thought Yajiada was suitable, but she looked disgusted.
If you buy it yourself, it's fine, but if it's given to you by someone else...
She knew very well the meaning of giving the ruby. After talking with Jingge, she didn't want to spend time on Lin Sheng anymore. It would be better to work harder to improve the relationship between her sister and him.
Then, they looked at Maruzen skiing with his arms around Lin Sheng, and as if they had thought of something, they all kept silent.
Of course you will feel lost if it is not given to you.
"Xiaoxue, what do you think of this necklace?" Lin Sheng stroked her jade hand with his fingers a few times.
"Yeah, it looks nice." Maruzen skied over, then turned back to look at him. "Don't underestimate rubies. Every year, the most expensive gems sold at auction are usually rubies. Last year, a 25-carat ruby ring sold for 20 million Swiss francs."
"Oh." Lin Sheng nodded immediately. A 25-carat ring costs 20 million, so this 13-carat ring at 4 million is not expensive.
What he didn't expect was that this kind of gem would be so expensive.
It is said that artificial rubies are also 300 francs per carat, while natural rubies are just 5000 francs per carat.
Like many gemstones, the larger and rarer the gem, the more expensive it is.
A 25-carat diamond is actually a national treasure that can be displayed in a museum.
Perhaps if the sapphire were big enough it could fetch that price.
But in terms of decoration and the meaning it expresses, it is really not as good as ruby.
Immediately, he made a decision to buy the ruby.
Fortunately, the ruby was not big enough, and there were several competitors, but they gave up after a few rounds of bidding.
In the end, Mr. Lin bought the necklace for six million francs.
Only then did Lin Sheng feel relieved and said to Maruzen Skiing, "This is for you. Do you like it?"
"Huh? Mine?" Maruzen asked. Lu Juxue finally realized what was happening and looked up at the screen with great joy, wanting to take a closer look.
"Yes, of course I do."
But the scene changed and another item appeared.
"Hey, I asked you to choose an item, but you just picked one to give away?" Eclipse came closer, jealousy evident on his face.
"What else? You'll definitely pick something you can use. There's no point in collecting something that will appreciate in value."
Chapter 1085 The necklace is so beautiful...
"Then you can't..."
Lin Sheng leaned close to Eclipse's ear and said, "I have a pair of socks waiting to be changed. Do you want some?"
Eclipse smiled and said nothing more.
It's so easy to get rid of.
He wanted to pick something for Huanhuan and the others as well, but the items were getting more and more expensive, and he really had no room to buy.
It doesn't matter. There are still a few days left. If you have free time, you can come and have a look. You can also take some good pictures. He plans to bring some gifts for Xiaoqing and the others.
But a gift like this, which costs millions of francs, is impossible to realize.
Logically speaking, they have no way to get the items immediately at such a large auction, but it is different because they have some relationship with the auction house.
In the afternoon, Lin Sheng got the ruby necklace in his hand.
As soon as he left the auction house, he saw Maruzen's skiing neck and couldn't wait to put it on her.
"Come, Xiaoxue, I'll help you put it on."
"Haha, shouldn't it be more formal? Holidays or..." Only after getting married...
She lowered her head slightly and did not resist. It was impossible to refuse something like this.
"Why go through so much trouble? As long as you like it, it's fine." Lin Sheng said casually.
Indeed, if you give it to her on Valentine's Day or her birthday, you don't have to worry about the gift issue at that time.
However, Lin Sheng only regarded this necklace as an ordinary item, and giving her eight or ten of them would not be too much.
She deserves it.
"Wow!" Sakura Chiyoou walked around Lin Sheng, covered her mouth, and exclaimed in a low voice with envy and jealousy.
"It's so beautiful! It's really beautiful!"
Maruzen's skiing style is elevated to a higher level with the ruby necklace on, and her skin, which is already as white as snow, becomes even more radiant.
I have to say, this necklace is a perfect match for her.
"Haha, it looks good, right?" Maruzen skied with one hand on his waist, striking a seductive pose.
Her charming face became even more charming.
"It looks good! It really looks good! Maru-sister is already very beautiful, and when she wears this she becomes even more... invincible! Maru-sister is the most beautiful! The most elegant horse girl!" Sakura Chiyo-oh kept praising her.
"Haha, really! Little Chiyo is really good at talking." Maruzen skied and touched Sakura Chiyo's head, and asked Lin Sheng with a smile, "Little brother, what do you think?"
"Yeah, it's beautiful." He was at a loss for words, unable to think of anything to praise her. "The necklace is beautiful, but you are even more beautiful."
"Really?" Maruzen said with a grin, "You've been staring at the necklace. Are you really just looking at the necklace?"
She couldn't hide the smirk on her face and puffed out her chest.
Indeed, no matter how beautiful the necklace is, it can’t be as beautiful as her.
But her words were too direct, and Lin Sheng couldn't help feeling shy.
"Haha, not bad, not bad." Seeing Lin Sheng's shy expression, Maruzen Skiing was very satisfied. "Thank you for the necklace, little brother. When we get back, I'll reward you."
"Your reward is too..." It's not that she wants to refuse, but she thinks her statement might be too direct.
"Come on, go for a ride with your sister." She simply walked up to Lin Sheng and grabbed him, dragging him towards her new sports car.
Since she would be in Paris for the next few days, Maruzen Skiing naturally had her car flown in overnight.
It’s really cool to be able to travel in Paris in a supercar.
"You are driving too fast." Lin Sheng muttered softly.
"Then you can drive slower, or you can drive, hehe, here's a reward for you."
"Yes, yes, it's a reward for you." Seeing Lin Sheng being dragged into the car by Maruzen Ski, Sakura Chiyo not only had no objection, but also cheered on the side. In her opinion, being able to sit in Maruzen Ski's favorite car was indeed a reward.
However, the reward she has in mind may be different from the reward Maruzen Skiing wants to give.
Lin Sheng was taken away, and Eclipse and the others had no choice but to go back first.
It would be bad to disturb someone's secret meeting.
In the next few days, they traveled around Paris and visited auction houses, where he bought a lot of things.
Perhaps realizing that he would be going back soon, Maruzen took him out skiing every day, which was a bit too much for Lin Sheng. He always came back exhausted.
Her car is not that comfortable to ride in.
a few days later.
The day before the Arc de Triomphe competition started, the chairman of the board called.
"Hello! Chairman?"
"Well, are you ready? How confident are you about this game?"
"100%." Lin Sheng replied immediately.
Of course, I couldn't say that I didn't have confidence in front of the chairman. I had to make sure they didn't worry too much.
"Haha! How dare you say that! Then let's wait for your good news! Don't let us down!"
"Of course! Don't worry, Chairman! We will definitely succeed immediately and return triumphantly!"
"Excellent! Then we'll be waiting for your triumphant return."
"Chairman, I heard from Mi Yu that my house has been renovated, right?" After talking about the competition, he brought up his family again.
"That's right! What's wrong? Are you not satisfied? It's because you sent me money back. I don't know what to do with the extra money, so I can only use it to renovate your house." Yayoi Akigawa explained tactfully.
Although she said that, in fact, Lin Sheng's money was only enough for the second renovation of his house, and most of the money was still paid by her.
But she didn't feel at a disadvantage.
If you can win the Arc de Triomphe, it means you have made history, which is something that cannot be bought with any amount of money.
"No, no, I'm not dissatisfied! I'm extremely satisfied! Thank you so much, Chairman. You've worked hard! Miss Tsuna has also worked hard! Thank you very much!"
"Haha! As long as you can finish the race and come back safely, that's all that matters!"
"okay!"
After a few more pleasantries, he hung up the phone.
It’s finally time to put a mark on this European trip.
-
More than twenty days later, they arrived at the Longchamp Racecourse again.
As the world's top-notch and most luxurious racecourse, it is impossible to say that it is not beautiful.
Along the way, Sakura Chiyoou kept taking pictures with his camera.
After visiting so many tourist attractions in Paris, I returned to Longchamp and felt that those famous attractions were not as beautiful as this place.
There is a particularly luxurious spectator stand here, as well as private or semi-private rooms, which can accommodate up to 70,000 people.
