Chapter 190

Sotheby's London auction house, 34-35 New Bond Street, London.

As soon as Li Zitao and Adelaide got off the train, they were warmly received by the auction house.

Sotheby's prepared for the day after knowing that Li will attend the auction.

Especially after knowing about his "fairy tale love" with Princess Adelaide, the enthusiasm became more intense.

"respectable Mr. Li, your highness, the honor of the two party is my pleasure."

The head of the headquarters, belo Fiore, stood in front of the door in a dignified manner, paying deep respect to them.

"Fiore, don't be so restrained. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Adelaide stepped forward and helped her up.

"yes, your royal highness, Sotheby's and myself, have been looking forward to your coming again." Fiore straightened up and looked at her with enthusiasm.

"I believe you know from the newspaper that Charlie is my fiance." As Adelaide introduced, Fiore bowed her head.

"Honey, Fiore is Sotheby's first vice president and runs the London based auction house."

Hearing Adelaide's introduction, Li Zitao nodded with a smile: "I'm very glad to meet you, Mrs. Fiore."

A ring on her finger and a high curl of hair indicate that she is a married lady.

At this time, very few girls simply roll up their hair and coil them into hoops, except those who work in factories.

"Your Highness, Mr. Li, please follow me." Fiore is leading the way.

"Are you familiar with her?" Li Zitao asked curiously.

"Of course, Sotheby's is the most famous auction house in Europe. They are the first choice for the royal family, whether it is to buy art or deal with royal collections."

"So." Li Zitao nodded clearly.

The royal family often deals with some collections, most of which are of no collection value or flashy gifts. Most of them come from merchants and nobles.

No wonder Sotheby's remains the world's top auction house in the 21st century.

"Fiore's family controls more than half of Sotheby's shares." In the conversation, Li Zitao learned about this situation.

It's just that he's not surprised that a woman can be a vice president and run the most important headquarters auction house.

In advance, Li Zi Tao has absolutely no intention of discriminating against women.

It's just the limitations of the times that a woman with no identity background can really do this, even if she is more talented.

Otherwise, Aimo would not leave the Royal bar and become his right-hand subordinate.

"Your Highness, Mr. Li, your position is here. I'm sorry. Please allow me to leave first." Send them to the first row and Fiore leaves.

"You haven't told me what you talked to that compatriot from the East on the ship before?"

Before the auction began, Adelaide asked about the ship again. After the first meeting, the two talked alone for several times. She was curious about the specific content.

"It's just a business thing." Mentioning this matter, Li Zitao's face became strange.

When I met Mei Lanfang and talked about Zhang Shaoshuai, Li Zi Tao took it for granted that the history of the water blue star is no different from that of the previous earth.

But when he and Lian Qinglin talked about the government of the Republic of China and the chairman of the Committee

"I'm afraid Mr. Li doesn't pay much attention to the domestic situation. The chairman of the unified government of the Republic of China is surnamed Hong, not Chiang!"

Until now, Li Zi Tao still remembers Lin's embarrassed but polite smile.

The government of the United Republic of China, the only party, the United Party, the 13th standing committee member, all the great people in my memory are gone.

This made him realize clearly once again that this is not the earth, but the water blue star.

As for the business with Lian Qinglin, it's about ore, tungsten.

This compatriot claimed that he had a small relationship with the government of the Republic of China and was able to obtain export license for tungsten ore. this is a modest style familiar to Chinese.

Among the acquisition targets of FSC, those marked with red ink are tungsten mines.

It is an extremely important industrial raw material, which can be used in a wide range of fields, including weapons research and development, national defense engineering, aerospace and navigation.

Tungsten will be used in automobile, electrical and electronic industries.

How can such an important raw material be done by a little bit of a small matter.

Finally, the two men reached an agreement, and Li Zitao purchased his tungsten ore at market price, but not all of them were shipped to the United States of America.

In his name, Lian Qinglin will rent a warehouse in Mingzhu port to store a large amount of tungsten ore he has purchased.

As for the final role of these tungsten deposits, Li Zitao did not tell him.

"The contradiction between the national government and the RB is becoming more and more serious, and I am afraid there will be armed conflict sooner or later." Said Adelaide suddenly.

"Oh? Do you still care? " Li Zitao said unexpectedly."It was only by chance that my mother and Jean talked about it." Adelaide said casually.

This is different details, contact level is also different, the best performance!

"It may be more difficult than they think." Although the Nationalist government has changed beyond recognition, there is no difference between what he remembers about Marshal Zhang and marshal Shao Shuai.

This is what worries Li Zitao most. It is getting closer and closer to the date when it happened.

Bang bang!

On the auction stage, a hammer hammering sound appeared. Fiore, dressed in a pair of smart pants, a suit and a high hat, appeared in front of everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for your presence. Today is the first Sotheby's winter auction. I hope you can make it today..."

Phoebe said, "quiet down the scene.".

"Next, we'll invite Lot 1." After politeness, the auction officially began, Fiore warmly introduced the information of the auction.

But Li Zitao always felt that she was missing something. When she saw her hand pointing at the auction again, he suddenly suddenly said, "it would be better if there were white gloves."

"Good advice." Adelaide's eyes brightened.

The auction items are miscellaneous, including some manuscripts, celebrity notes, family lost heritage items, unknown treasure map and so on.

The following bidding is very fierce, but Li Zitao is not very interested.

Instead, Adele Adele was very excited to buy a pair of gem earrings, worth 300 pounds.

"Next, let's invite lot 38." A bronze ware was carried up, and Li Zitao, who was drowsy, came down to be interested.

"The tiger eating man wine pot from the ancient oriental country, according to the translation materials and the identification of several experts, this bronze ware comes from 3000 thousand years ago,

from the most powerful Dynasty of that period, Shang..."

Isn't this a national treasure, tiger cannibal you?

In the past, it was exiled to RB and has been collected in the Bogu Museum of Quanwu, Kyoto. How can it appear here now?

Li Zitao did not know the reason, but it did not prevent him from deciding to buy the auction, and he was determined to get it.
