Chapter 949 (1/2)
When Simon entered Christie's auction hall, there was an apparent commotion around him.
Simon, Sophia and Agnelli sit down at the back of the hall. Jennie Agnelli feels some agitation around him. There is a rare feeling of envy, or jealousy, that hasn't appeared in many years.
The Agnelli family is known as the ”royal family” of Italy. Although their wealth lags behind that of Berlusconi at present, all these achievements in Italy are far behind that of the Agnelli family, which is only one third of Italy. Just like this time, the other side easily becomes the focus of the public, but he can only look and sigh.
Fortunately, the auction will start soon.
Holding a beautifully bound auction manual on one side of his hand, Jenny Agnelli had a little idea of fighting with the young people around him, and then gave up.
Melisandro directly and indirectly controlled as much as 62% of the voting rights of Christie's auction house. Although the original acquisition of melisandro specially brought in a batch of Italian capital, and the Agnelli family also participated in it, it was just a symbolic investment of friendship between the two sides, holding 7.5% of the shares, which was not as high as 10% of Berlusconi's. All in all, the auction house is almost the property of the young people around.
Looking at today's auction, the manual focuses on the collection of Chateau lato.
Chateau Latour, one of the five famous Chateau in France, is a brand owned by melisandro. It belongs to the young people around.
So, in someone's auction house, buy the red wine of someone's winery and fight with someone. Well, it's not asking for nothing. What is it?
How can there be such a guy in the world that everyone can only look up to!
After all, after years of high position and a short period of imbalance, Jennie Agnelli quickly recovered and asked the young people around him, ”Simon, I haven't read the manual yet. Is there anything to recommend tonight?”
Simon was whispering with Sofia, turning to Agnelli and said with a smile: ”of course, the best is the 1982 treasures launched by Chateau lato. Now many Chateau have begun to promote the 1982 vintage in Bordeaux, but in fact, only the Boyac region of Bordeaux, where the three Chateau lato, Chateau Lafite and Mutong are located, has reached the top 98 points, which is the highest His production areas, such as Margo and Graf, are less than 90 points, which is relatively average. This is the first public auction of the 1982 hoard in Latu, because the 15 year hoard will be ready for collection and drinking. And then there is the 1978 dry red of boschiao winery in the Rhone valley, which is also a rare top grade wine with 98 points and excellent quality. On the Italian side, a batch of Marquis de Piedmont winery is also 1978, 97 points, but it belongs to the collection type. Because of the quality, it will take another five years to mature. ”
Jennie Agnelli listened to the conversation of the young people around him, his heart again slightly astringent.
All right.
Just now, there is still some mentality of school entrance examination in my heart, but maybe Berlusconi, who is quite vulgar in many people's eyes, can't say these words.
Simon, of course, can't be so casual. Sofia has talked to him when he came here, and now he just uses women's words.
Because of her first marriage experience, Sophia has always been keen on wine business. In addition to lato, melisandro has purchased or opened new wineries in France, Italy, Spain and Australia in recent years, producing more than 500000 cases of various kinds of wine every year.
On stage, the auction officially began.
Of course, Christie's platform will not only auction melisandro's products. To be exact, only a small part of melisandro's related theme auctions. Just like this time, most of the auctions are from other red wine brands, except for Latu's 1982 cellar, which is the final stage.
Probably because of Simon's presence, the auction was very noisy from the beginning. The guests raised their cards frequently, which obviously meant to attract someone's attention. Therefore, the price was unavoidably high.
Jennie Agnelli lost his temper completely, became more and more calm, and began to discuss some recent current affairs with Simon again.
After all, there are not many opportunities to communicate with this young man. It would be a waste to miss them.
After more than ten minutes, Simon, who was chatting with Agnelli about the details of the US election, felt a slight chill on his neck. It seemed that something had fallen into the neckline. Subconsciously, he reached behind him, pressed it accurately, and felt out that it was a Pearl Earring.
A lady behind him had leaned slightly over and whispered, ”I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Mr. westlow. I accidentally dropped my earring.”
Jennie Agnelli glanced around.
This is a black haired girl with a pair of beautiful crescent eyes. Her special eyes and perfect face are naturally charming.
Just a smile, are too lazy to sigh.
Once a playboy, how could Jenny Agnelli not understand what it was like.
Besides, it seems that I have seen this face somewhere.
It should be a star.It's just that tonight's creature is unlikely to notice itself anyway.
Simon didn't pay much attention before. When he returned the pearl earrings to the woman behind him, he looked more and recognized them.
Alexandra martinis.
She is the heroine of the Golden Rose cave, an introduction film with a deep impression in her previous life.
Princess of Golden Rose cave.
It's obviously not the right time to talk. He just smiles at the woman behind him. Simon regains his attention. Sophia around him also notices these details. He also looks behind him and gives Simon a white look.
The auction lasted about an hour.
Simon didn't raise his card. After all, Sofia would definitely provide the best for his own use. Instead, Jennie Agnelli shot all the ten boxes of 1982 rarities on sale at one time.
Sophia finally whispered excitedly to Simon that because of his presence, the average price of a series of wines at this auction was at least 30% higher than expected.
Simon is also joking. He can be more present in the future.
But there's a rebate.
The auction ended, followed by a reception.
After waiting for an hour, seeing that Simon westero didn't leave immediately, a group of guests came forward to chat up.
During the auction, Alexandra Martinis, who dropped the earrings into Simon's collar, quickly came over and apologized to Simon sincerely again: ”I'm sorry, Mr. westero. It's so embarrassing to accidentally drop the earrings into your collar.”
”It doesn't matter,” Simon said, holding a glass of red wine in his hand and holding out an empty hand. ”But, ma'am, don't you want to introduce yourself?”
