2097 Riding a Tiger Difficult

"Ranley Hall's Guitar and Music Score" has a base price of 1,000 pounds, an estimated price of 50,000 pounds, and the final transaction price...one million pounds!

Before the auction officially begins, professional auctioneers will evaluate all items. Based on the nature of the charitable auction, referring to the identity and status of the donated item owner, and give a vague estimated price to help the auction warm up. But now it seems that they obviously underestimate the "value" of Renley.

From an estimated price of 50,000 to a transaction of one million, it has increased by 200 times; from a reserve price of 1,000 to a transaction of one million, it has increased by 1,000 times. Such momentum is absolutely terrifying! Even the knowledgeable Alexander Hamilton could not hide his surprise, and he couldn't help but smile sincerely.

More importantly, this is not all about the highlights of the auction.

"The imperial material, enamel, ladies' picture rectangular snuff bottle made in the Qing Dynasty Qianlong period" has a base price of 50,000 pounds, an estimated price of 300,000 pounds, and the final transaction price is 1.5 million pounds!

The transaction price of the falling hammer has increased by thirty times than the reserve price and five times the estimation. Such a posture is really rare even in real art auctions. The enthusiasm and activity of the market are far beyond imagination, and the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the auction have kept the scene in a hot and hot atmosphere.

The two items with the highest and second highest transaction prices in the auction all came from the same donor; plus the items with the third highest transaction prices in the entire auction were auctioned by the same donor. Naturally, the undeserved focus was this special guest.

Renly Hall!

This has been one of the most familiar names in the London upper class over the past five years, not because of reverence, but because of gossip.

Everyone is paying attention to what kind of reputation this new generation actor can make in the field of art and what heights he can reach. In the eyes of those eye, gloating, disdainful, and picky melon-eating ingredients account for the majority. It seems that everyone is waiting for a joke and becoming a topic of conversation for them to pass the time after dinner. As for what dreams and beliefs, it has no meaning at all.

As time goes by, Lanli has gained a foothold at the top of the pyramids in another way. It is not only limited to the entertainment industry. Lanli's powerful influence is entering a higher level, with extraordinary voice, enough to radiate to different levels and positions in society, which is eye-catching. Then Lanli has become a treasure that everyone flocks to, and everyone can't wait to try to become his surroundings.

This year, in March, Renli returned to London in a low-key manner, but he did not cause too many waves, but quietly caused a lot of speculation; in September, Renli returned to London again and appeared in a high-profile manner. This was also the first time he had carried out social activities outside of work, which inevitably attracted more discussions, which made people unable to help speculate whether this world's hottest popular figure will officially return to London?

In addition to the huge interests maintained by Vanity Fair's identity, there are also the economic interests represented by Sisyphus Films and the rumored Don Quixote Channel, plus the social interests represented by the Shanghai Seur Cross Foundation and Folk Music Festival. Everything makes Lanley's worth extraordinary. It is no exaggeration to say: Everyone wants to know Lanley, even if it is just a small meeting in a private club.

All the focus was gathered together and finally fell on today's charity auction, and the storm of the group created this miracle!

In fact, there are countless highlights above the auction.

Alexander Hamilton's perfect appearance, the mysterious guest No. 43, the uninvited arrival of the Halls, Beatrice attended with his male companion, the Beckhams and his wife were at a loss, the Earl of Oxford refused to attend, the technology upstart who did not receive the invitation, and the Viscount So-and-so who went to Naples for vacation after being rejected... and so on, the discussion topics in the upper class can be countless. Those present can attract attention, while those who are not present are even gossiping, let alone the discussions about auction items and auction guests are endless.

"...I just donated a book, which should have been left by his great-grandfather. I don't know when he will be spending his family."

"I have never raised a sign so far. It seems that I just came to pretend to be a statue. I don't understand why she was able to receive the invitation."

"Did you notice the items he took? It should be his ex-girlfriend, who is now dating a tech upstart in the financial district."

"I didn't expect that even the last little bit of money was gone. The vase was obviously a wedding gift given by the earl last time, and now it was donated as an antique. Its decay was so fast. Do you know what happened to their family? Did it fail to invest in real estate?"

"You said when will he raise the sign? Didn't he participate in the whole process? Oh, by the way, when he was bidding for the snuff bottle, he raised the sign once, 60,000 pounds, and then quickly put it down, fearing that he would win the bid, he didn't know if he could take out 60,000."

Focus or focus.

Every move, every frown and smile is all the focus. This is literally. Even if you just hold a sign or look at each other, it may become the focus of scrutiny and scrutiny for guests around you; even if you repeatedly wear a set of clothes or have wrinkles on the collar of your shirt, you may reveal your background.

On such occasions, you must pay attention to your words, deeds and expressions at all times. If you don’t pay attention, you may become a laughing stock of the upper class, and you can’t even raise your head for a long time. If someone is curious, why Lan Li’s etiquette never goes wrong, or why Lan Li’s gentlemanly demeanor is so elegant, they can come to the auction to experience it, and you will know where the feeling of restraint comes from. When you are in it, Lan Li does not have any sense of incongruity, and he will not appear particularly prominent.

The same demeanor and manner may be unique in Hollywood, but it is used to it in the upper class.

But it was precisely in this occasion that Lan Li still easily became the focus of the audience. Amid countless discussions and gossips, the topic of Lan Li never interrupted the matter about the Halls and the couple. They whispered and saw hundreds of rounds back and forth. It was just that due to Lan Li's face, no one was so disappointed. Now that the auction is over, Lan Li has become the center of the topic. Even Alexander has to admit that Lan Li's far-reaching influence is really terrifying.

The auction ended like this.

Dave Clark immediately noticed that all the eyes of the audience fell on Renli. Even when talking to others, his eyes could not help but drift towards Renli, including Beatrice, which made Dave feel chest tightness, as if a heavy hammer hit his chest.

What's going on? It's not the same as the picture he imagined, so he spent a million pounds to buy a group of musical instruments like children, and then made wedding dresses for others, and couldn't even get a little attention? Just like a brainless fool?

fool!

Damn it! Dave slowly came back to his senses and recalled the entire auction process again. The creepy feeling began to appear. The trembling feeling of being plotted on his backbone quietly jumped up. All the hairs were standing up, and the tight muscles were making low interlacing sounds, as if they could explode at any time.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound, but it was not really an explosion, but the thunder in his mind hit his eardrums, which made Dave suddenly wake up, and his distracted thoughts were all gathered back into his mind, and the focus and focal length were gathered again. Then he could see Lan Li's slightly worried face appear right in front of him, and asked in a tentative voice, "Dave? Are you okay?"

"Very good. I'm fine." Dave only truly woke up at this time, straightened his back slightly, and his eyes could capture the surging sight of the whole audience.

very good!

very good!

It can't be better!

Just when he was distracted, Lanli appeared, and then he became the focus of attention of the audience. His embarrassment and embarrassment were exposed in broad daylight. If Lanli didn't mean it, he wouldn't believe it, but what else could he do, besides showing a smile and responding calmly?

"Thank you very much, you made today's auction full of meaning." Lan Li did not pursue Dave's distractedness, and expressed her respect humbly and politely.

Dave's eyes were slightly stiff: the meaning of buying one million pounds, of course he had to make the expenditure worth the money, "Ha, my honor. For the children of Africa, we all hope to contribute our best, right? This is also Tris' wish."

Now that it is already difficult to get on the verge of death, Dave must show his demeanor and politeness, otherwise this million may really be wasted.

Dave turned his head and looked at Beatrice. Sure enough, he saw Beatrice's slightly red cheeks. His eyes and expression could not hide his excitement. She snuggled in Dave's arms in a cute and lovely way. "I didn't expect such a result, but we all came for the children, so, I think we are all working hard in our own way."

Before Dave could have time to be happy, Beatrice changed the subject, "It's like Renley. The two auction items you prepared today are really great, and they instantly made me small. I really, really like your guitar and music score. That speech is enough to impress everyone, right? Dave?"

"Of course. Sure." Dave had to clench his fists, otherwise his teeth would have to fight, which would reveal his emotions.

"In this way, Dave can be said to be two birds with one stone. He can not only contribute to charity, but also offer a gift to his female companion. Dave is the biggest winner tonight." Lan Li said with a smile.
