Chapter 139
Li Anran originally didn't want to go on the spot for this auction. But then he thought that he hadn't returned to China for a while, so he could take advantage of the auction to go back. He went to Hong Kong first, and after the auction was over, he could also go to China to purchase some things that would be more troublesome to buy abroad. Of course, the most important thing is to get together with his only relative, Hu Jing.
Taking advantage of the auction house's promotional opportunity, Li Anran flew again in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty. This time his destination was Changhua, Zhejiang. As for what he was looking for, it was a chicken bloodstone that was no less famous than Tianhuangshi. According to research, the mining of chicken bloodstone began in the Song Dynasty and was well-known in the Qing Dynasty. Emperors such as Kangxi, Qianlong, and Jiaqing highly appreciated Changhua chicken bloodstone and used it as a seal for the seal.
With the imperial edict and the official position of the Observer, although this stone hunting trip was not as smooth as before Tianhuangshi, it still achieved its goal after some time. However, Li Anran did not give it to the auction for the bloodstone he got this time, but selected the best one among the mined stones and asked the well-known local craftsmen to process it.
Like Tianhuangshi, the better things like chicken blood stone are used as seals. Especially the top Dahongpao, few people are willing to carve into large ornaments. However, for Li Anran, it would be too monotonous if all the excellent blood stones were made into seals. Therefore, I took a few pieces of high-quality blood stones, which were not small, and made people carve into ornaments.
After the bloodstone is completed, the auction of modern time and space will finally begin.
After chatting with Zhao Er, Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun who were accompanying him, he wanted to leave for a few days to greet him, Anran traveled back to modern time and space, and took Annie, who was the "pretty beauty in law", to Hong Kong, China.
After half a month of publicity, there are indeed many rich people paying attention to this auction. At least when they arrived at the scene, the dense crowds of people in the venue forced Li Anran to admit that with the "development" of the economy, there are indeed many rich people in China.
Considering the particularity of his identity, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Li Anran just stayed for a while at the beginning of the auction, and then took Annie to flash the crowd.
With the previous reversal, although the relationship between the two did not change much as Anne said at the beginning, it naturally happened naturally with the first, second, third, and Nth push.
Anne Lee's attitude is very clear, and she should not even think about her reputation. As the man, she will not terminate her cooperation with the law firm just because she has a relationship with the other party. And Anne, as the woman, will not think about "becoming a regular person". The relationship between the two is so great that they are just a boyfriend and girlfriend, and it is more precise to say that it is "qingen".
Li Anran, who flashed the light, did not rush back to China, but took Anne to the most popular commercial street in Hong Kong and started a battle. Although it was impossible to give the other party an identity, or even to involve the development and operation of the island, as a man, after enjoying the other party's body, he would not be too stingy.
After a lot of shopping, I found a good store to enjoy the taste of Hong Kong. Before I finished eating here, Li Anran received a call from the auction company.
Since this time was a special auction and there was enough time left in advance for publicity, the auction effect was very good. Whether it was mutton fat white jade or Tianhuang stone, it was auctioned by many wealthy and local tycoons at a price far exceeding the base price, and none of them failed to be sold. Of course, this is also because the goods sent for auction are all the best.
After Li Anran brought his lawyer Annie back to the auction company, he soon learned the final result from the person in charge of the auction. Even Anran was considered a billionaire before. But after hearing the total amount of the auction, he still couldn't help but dizzy for a while. It was Annie on the side, very calm.
在扣去了拍卖公司的手续费之后,原本在国内就已经属于亿万富豪行列的李安然,身价顿时就暴涨了N倍.在通过网络确认了这笔资金已经转移到了自己的个人帐户上之后,李安然并没有直接离开,而是让安妮将准备好的投资计划直接拿了出来.
Although Christie's is just an auction company, its background is very strong. Whether it is developing islands, financial transactions, or handling various procedures with local government agencies, there are advantages that ordinary companies cannot have.
Christie's auction house paid enough attention to the plan of Lee Anran to use the funds from this auction to invest in an island and then build a Tang Dynasty-style tourist destination. Not only did the corresponding person in charge quickly flew to the Hong Kong branch, but also brought professional staff in various fields related to this investment.
Faced with the suggestions given by the auction company that were more in line with the interests of investors, Li Anran refused with her stubborn performance, which made these guys very depressed and speechless.
As for the purchase target of private islands, Christie's' intervention, it also changed from three alternative projects to six alternative projects. Not to mention, the three new private islands provided by the other party, whether in terms of area or geographical location, are not only not worse than the three chosen by Anran before, but are even better in some aspects.
According to Lee Anran's original intention, he wanted to buy the private island called Tetiaroa that he had previously loved in the Polynesian Islands in France about forty miles, and was bought by the famous movie star Malone Brando. Unfortunately, this private island group consisting of twelve small islands was not expensive at the time, but now if you want to buy it, the price is ridiculously expensive.
After contacting Malone Brando's son, the current owner of the private island of Tetiaroa, through Christie's, the other party directly offered an outrageous price that made Li Anran, who had just expanded his assets, was speechless.
The proceeds from this auction are not that they cannot afford this island group, but the subsequent development will also require a lot of money. Finally, with Christie's' advice and help, Anran Lee had to turn his attention to a small island group composed of six islands in northeastern Fiji.
Under the arrangement of the auction house, Li Anran took Annie to the circular island group for on-site inspection.
It is not to be admitted that although this small island group is not as large as the private island of Tetiaroa, it is no less than the latter in terms of climate, land area, terrain, natural resources, etc. For Anran, the deepest impression of this circular island group is the sea and sky that is so blue that it makes people intoxicated.
The quotation for this ring-shaped island group is 750,000 US dollars, which is also not cheap. However, what satisfied Lee Anran is that once the island is bought, it will have permanent property rights, and as long as it does not violate environmental protection regulations, it can be developed here at will.
After strolling around six islands of varying sizes, Li Anran, who became more and more in love with this place, immediately expressed his intention to buy it.
According to Lee Anran's opinion, although the price of 75 million US dollars is not low, it is not too much for herself who has just made a big profit. But Annie, a lawyer, feels that this price is just a quotation, and there must be a certain amount of water that can be "squeezed". As a result, the negotiation process was delayed for almost a week before finally getting a result.
