Chapter 810 Equity data (revision)(1/2)

Wednesday, May 3.

In the afternoon, Simon participated in the first public event after coming to London in the evening.

A fine jewelry auction at Christie's Auction.

In fact, it can be regarded as a support for our own industry.

After buying this auction house, Simon paid much less attention to Christie's, let alone Sophia, than Janet. Perhaps women are naturally more interested in those expensive ancient treasures than men.

There was no special arrangement in advance, so when Simon appeared at Christie's auction with Yulia Shulhikina in full dress, it obviously caused a lot of commotion.

The daily life of the auction house is far from what ordinary people imagine. It is said to be a fine jewelry auction, but in fact it is just a very ordinary auction. This time, there are 27 pieces of jewelry, and the total amount of auction is expected to be only 5 million pounds. The most expensive diamond necklace is estimated to be 500,000 pounds. This is donated by Princess Diana and planned to be used for charity. It is the biggest gimmick of the auction tonight.

Because of the small scale, there are very few top British celebrities and powerful people who attended in person, and most of them just sent their own agents to attend.

Entering the venue at the point, Simon and the others sat in a position behind the venue, and simply had a brief socializing with a couple next to the seat, and the auction began soon.

The staff sent a beautifully bound list. Simon was paying attention to the auction with great interest, and roughly flipped the booklet, and quickly handed it to Shulhikina next to him, and whispered: "Let's see which one you like, tell me."

Shurshikina took the booklet handed over by the man and opened it carefully.

My mood is still not very calm.

Being able to follow the man tonight is probably a mistake.

Simon has lived in a villa on Garden Street, Kensington these days. It happened that several Ukrainian goblins also came to London to play and were not arranged to be in the villa. However, we had dinner together tonight. Afterwards, the man talked about the auction and could only bring one person. He probably didn't know how to choose among the three girls, so it fell on her.

When I left, I clearly felt that the three girls looked at me with hostility. Shulhikina didn't care. She was definitely not unhappy about being able to attend events with men.

The woman knew that this was a public announcement of her identity.

She is his lover.

After carefully reviewing the booklet, Shulhikina did not choose the jewelry she liked. These expensive things that cost hundreds of thousands of pounds were too far from her life.

The auction went on very quickly.

The man turned his head and asked again that five pieces of jewelry had been taken away, so he showed him a jade necklace with a starting price of 80,000 pounds, which is not the lowest in the booklet, but it is definitely not high.

"This is not suitable for you, so I'll help you choose."

A word came from her ear, she was a little nervous, just nodded gently.

Actually, I don't like it very much.

After more than ten minutes, a ruby ​​necklace appeared on the stage, with a starting price of 250,000 pounds, which is the more expensive one tonight.

Looking at the necklace projection on the big screen, I was inexplicably moved and glanced at the man beside me without a trace, then quickly restrained my eyes.

Obviously, many people were attracted by this necklace, and frequent shouts of yelling sounded from the audience.

However, after more than 400,000 pounds, there are many fewer people competing for it. The specifications of this auction are placed there, so it is impossible for some popular auctions to raise the price several times.

Finally came £450,000.

When the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, Shulhikina heard the man beside her gently quote a price: "500,000 pounds."

Everyone on the scene watched.

This is the first time Simon Westero has taken action.

Of course, everyone mainly takes this opportunity to see people. It has no feelings for Simon Westeros to spend 500,000 pounds to buy a jewelry. 500,000 pounds, is that money for Westeros?

The auctioneer was also very excited.

The big boss always started to support him, so he raised his tone and tried his best to create the atmosphere.

The audience cooperated.

Someone raised his sign again and added £10,000.

The auctioneer glanced at him and said that this was an agent, but he knew that behind the license plate was the famous British billionaire Richard Branson, the owner of the Virgin Group.

Someone raised the price, and Simon also shouted for the second time: "550,000 pounds."

Obviously, it is determined to win.

The sign-up just now was a supportive event, but now I can't compete with Simon Westeros, not to mention that some guy holding the sign-up is the owner of this auction house.

So the deal was successfully completed.

It directly exceeded the highest price of 500,000 pounds for Diamond Diamond necklace in advance.

Beside Simon, Shulhikina quietly grabbed the hem of her dress, just thinking that it was too expensive and a bit wasteful.

Others were also curious, wondering if Simon Westeros would attack Princess Diamond Necklace.

The auction starts at 8 o'clock in the evening and lasts for two hours.

The diamond necklace of Princess Diamond was final, with a starting price of 250,000 pounds. Simon called for the price at 400,000 pounds, and then he did not make any moves.

The necklace was eventually taken away by an anonymous buyer for £530,000.

At 10 o'clock, the auction ends.

In the past, everyone had dispersed, after all, it was already a bit late.

There will be a cocktail party after the auction house reminds tonight.

Before the auction started, many people didn't quite understand what was going on. Some people thought that it might be that Princess Diana would come forward to thank her personally, but if this was the case, it would definitely be promoted in advance, and the auction house did not do this. Only after they arrived did they understand.

It's already late at night.

When the reception started, not only did no one leave, but there were a lot of guests coming temporarily.

Simon has never felt anything about the old capitalist country of Britain, because the system is too mature and there is no more soil for capital development. Only conservative and stable capital will bet heavily here.

This does not mean that Simon has no attention to the UK. The Westeros system has layouts in the entertainment, telecommunications, finance and other fields here. The scale may not be much compared to the entire Westeros system, but no matter how slight the movement of a giant ship is, the storm caused is enough to overturn many small sampans. In addition, Simon has also purchased a large number of properties in various parts of the UK and plans to allow Levison Group to enter the London real estate market.

London property is in a downturn in recent years due to economic weakness and the IRA.

However, in the next twenty years, London will definitely be one of the fastest growing cities in the world with a great investment value.

Fundamentally, Simon's strategy for Britain is to "one rises and the other falls", which covers large old capitalist countries such as France, Germany, and Japan.

Only when these economies continue to decline can the Westeros system gain full room for implementation. This is actually exactly the same as the United States' fundamental strategy for these countries, either controlling or destroying.

Of course, these countries are not unmoving targets. It will take at least several decades to achieve the goal of one growth and the other.

At the lively cocktail party, Simon's thoughts certainly would not be revealed.

Due to the loose financial and tax environment, London is a city where wealthy people all over the world settle down. Many top wealthy people in Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and other regions live in this city most of the year, and the proportion of billionaires is no less than that in New York.

Two hours of auction time are enough for these people to react.

Therefore, you can imagine that the guest lineup after the start of the cocktail party, such as Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Group, is a bit slim in front of many oligarchs who have the lifeline of a country and region.

Simon is naturally the great witch among the great witches.

At the lively party scene, Simon was at ease to socialize these uninvited celebrities and rich people. During this period, he was also inspired and kept it in his heart. He didn't take Shulhikina away until after eleven o'clock.

After leaving the house, I happened to meet the couple sitting next to me at the previous auction on the roadside.

The last name is Devoy.

After chatting a few words, I didn't react at first, but later I remembered that I had a few words of temptation. It turned out that it was the Devay in my memory. The couple had a daughter named Kara Devay.

Simon has no interest in the supermodel Carla Dewayi, and he vaguely remembers that his sister Pobby Dewayi is more in line with his aesthetic.

After greeting him, Simon asked for a trip to see the couple's driver be late.

The couple was a little flattered.

Although the Devoy family is also considered a wealthy class in London, it is a bit unimpressive compared to the billionaires who just gathered at the cocktail party. It is simply undesirable to have more contact with Simon Westeros.

Simon's trip tonight was as usual with two cars and a group of bodyguards, and one car was vacant and gave it to the Devay couple.

Christie's Auction House is located on the east side of Greenland Park in central London. The Dewai's family happens to be in the Belgrade area on the other side of Greenland Park, next to Hyde Park in the north, both of which are prime locations in London. Everyone got on the bus and arrived at the door of Dewai's house in less than five minutes. The couple warmly invited Simon into the door and took a seat. It was already very late. Simon did not get off the bus again, but just accepted Charles Dewai's business card.

Charles Dewaye is a real estate businessman.

This attracted Simon's attention and planned to ask someone to investigate afterwards. He happened to be interested in London real estate, and maybe he could build a spokesperson here.

Saying goodbye to the Dewai couple, Simon did not return to the nearby Kensington Garden Street residence on the west side of Hyde Park. The three little goblins lived there tonight, and did not plan to join in the fun. He continued to come to the Hammersmith District, which was a little westward, and Shulhicinna's residence.

Shulhikina had already worn the ruby ​​necklace that Simon had taken at auction around her fair neck, which complemented each other and was conscientiously acting as a vase all night. However, when she learned that Simon was going to her residence, she suddenly became nervous and did not refuse.

Simon's car stopped in front of a three-story villa and found that the lights in the villa were still on.

Shulhikina took out the key and opened the door. As soon as she entered the living room on the first floor, a female guard came over. When she saw Simon, she showed a little unexpected expression and quickly relaxed. She greeted him respectfully and explained: "The lady was already asleep. She suddenly woke up at around 10 o'clock and said she was looking for her mother. We just coaxed her and were watching TV on the second floor."

My daughter used to sleep with her. Last year, when she went to kindergarten, Shulhikina arranged a room for the little guy alone, hoping that the child could develop good habits early.

Maybe he doesn't feel any security at all. After sleeping alone, the little guy occasionally wakes up from his sleep.

Care is a mess. After hearing the female guard's words, Shulhikina quickly walked upstairs, and Simon followed him up the stairs.

When he arrived at a living room on the second floor, Shulhikina had just appeared. A little blond girl in a light pink pajama like a doll jumped out of a maid on the sofa, calling for her mother and was about to pounce on her mother. When he noticed Simon following Shulhikina, the little guy paused, and looked at her big eyes with a little confusion, immediately showed a look of surprise and joy. He bypassed Shulhikina and rushed towards Simon like a little bird.

He was still calling a name.

"dad."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little stiff.
