Chapter 1228: Subtle changes triggered by a rumor
Xu Cheng knew that as long as he proposed, Lin chuxue would say yes to him no matter what. However, he still wanted to marry this woman formally and give her a complete wedding that a woman should have.
Although these were all vulgar, who was not vulgar in life?
Would he still be human if he was exempted?
Haber took a private plane to England overnight.
Taylor. The current owner of Burton’s Diamond was a rich Arab businessman, but for some reason, he planned to auction the diamond through the largest auction house in Britain to the aristocratic circle.
It was really the right time.
In three days, Xu Cheng was going to propose to Nicole, and he was going to get the diamond tonight, no matter what.
His a.s.sistant looked at the time and said worriedly,””Sir, the auction has already started.”
Haber’s face changed slightly.”What happened?”
The a.s.sistant replied cautiously,”the time difference between our location and the other side is an hour!” So, that is to say, we are using our country’s time to calculate, but the British started an hour earlier than us. ”
Haber: “how much longer until we land?”
“It’ll take at least half an hour, and then ten minutes by car,”the a.s.sistant replied.
“Do you think we can still bid for this?” Haber directly roared out, scaring the a.s.sistant so much that he kept apologizing. In fact, it wasn’t his fault. If it was according to the usual schedule, he would have already arranged the time, but the auction house just moved it up.
“What’s the number of the tayleburton diamond to be auctioned?”
“First, first …” The a.s.sistant stammered.
Haber leaned in front of him and said in a low voice,””Do you know how important this diamond is to me?”
The a.s.sistant nodded with an apologetic expression.
Haber: “do you know that because of your negligence, I have to buy a way to bid for this thing?” I’m telling you, this diamond is more important than the big contracts I signed!”
With that, haber directly kicked his a.s.sistant away. He was quite angry. If he couldn’t get the diamond, he didn’t know if Xu Cheng’s other subordinates would laugh at him. He was the one who promised to prepare a proposal gift for Xu Cheng, but now it turned out to be a verbal battle.
If he had a gun, he would have already killed the a.s.sistant and thrown him off the plane.
The a.s.sistant collapsed in the corner and didn’t dare to make a sound. It was also the first time the bodyguards around them had seen their boss so angry.
Haber sat by the bed, and after he finally calmed down, he said without even looking at his a.s.sistant,””I’ll find a way to make it up to you. No matter who wins the bid, contact him immediately. I want to get that diamond necklace no matter how much it costs. Remember, it’s at all costs!”
The a.s.sistant nodded, and his hope was immediately reignited. In order to become haber’s a.s.sistant Secretary, he had to go through many rounds of selection, from the elite of the elite to the elite. He didn’t want to lose this job because of a single mistake.
“Please rest a.s.sured, Sir. I will do this well.”
Haber looked out the window.”If I don’t get the diamond today, you’ll be thrown into my crocodile pool as food.”
The a.s.sistant shivered for a moment, then immediately picked up his phone and went to the bathroom to make a call. As someone close to Haber, he naturally had a strong network. He directly used haber’s a.s.sistant to contact the auction house and found out where the diamond necklace was.
The reason why the taylleburton diamond necklace was placed first in the auction was because the auction house felt that it would not be sold so easily.
That was because the price that the wealthy Arab businessman had bid for was not cheap. Now that he wanted to sell it, the starting price was 200 million dollars, and each bid would not be less than 10 million dollars. The price was a little outrageous. To be honest, the people who came to the auction house today were more interested in bidding for famous oil paintings, such as things like Van Gogh that had a high collection value. As for the diamond, to be honest, most collectors did not like to collect it, because its target audience was ultimately women. First of all, which man would throw 200 million dollars or more for a woman to please? That would really be a fool. No matter how much a woman liked this diamond, she would rather have you transfer her a.s.sets over to her than to have a diamond that was so difficult to cash in.
The main thing was that the price was too high. If the minimum bid was 50 million, perhaps everyone would be more interested.
200 million US dollars!
Forget it.
Therefore, the organizer had to treat this diamond as an opening product, because the number of buyers who could spend a lot of money on it was really limited, and it might not cause any waves.
Below the stage, there was a rich man from Korea who had come to the auction with a female companion. Before the auction, he had asked his follower to pay the organizer some money to understand the guests who were interested in the diamond tonight.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, guests who were interested in the items on sale would more or less probe the seller’s bottom line and the psychological price, and the auction house would make an evaluation report to these guests who inquired.
The Lackey walked over and whispered in the young master’s ear,””Young master, I’ve asked around. There are probably no more than three people who came for this necklace tonight, including you.”
The young master of the bang nation smiled and turned to look at the woman beside him. He came from one of the four big families in the bang nation, and the woman beside him was also the daughter of one of the big four. In his father’s words, he wanted him to pursue this woman so that the two families could join forces through marriage.
That was why he didn’t tell this woman what he was going to bid for tonight. He wanted to give her a surprise and further their relationship.
“Welcome to our auction house. We will donate 5% of the auction price to the world Children’s Foundation as a charity. Thank you again for coming.”
After the emcee walked onto the stage, he made some opening remarks. Then, the first item of the night, which was also the most uninteresting item, was brought onto the stage.
“I’m sure you’ve heard of the first item in tonight’s auction. This diamond is 61 grams in weight and is considered one size the world’s biggest luxury diamonds. More than 30 years ago, it was auctioned for 1.1 million pounds. The owner named it Taylor. Burton! “The 1.1 million pounds it was sold at that time was equivalent to 100 million dollars today. Now, when it reappears in the auction house, its owner hopes to bid for a starting price of no less than 200 million dollars. Everyone should know that this diamond is one of the top 10 Diamonds in history and is worth collecting. After this shop, there will be no such treasure.”
Just then, a few people walked in from all around the auction house and whispered a few words into their boss ‘ear.
“I heard from the people at the auction house that King haber really wants to get this diamond.”
“Did you guys hear? Haber is looking to buy some rare top-grade diamonds. ”
“I just received a reliable news that Mr. Haber’s flight should have been delayed. His a.s.sistant called the organizer, hoping to delay the event, but the organizer couldn’t agree because there were too many guests and too much pressure.”
A few headhunting companies received a call from haber’s a.s.sistant, hoping that they could come and bid for this diamond.”
All the rich people present were tempted.
