"Mr. Qian, I can't call the shots about this matter!" Robles suppressed the anger in his heart, the other party had already made conditions, and it was clear that he was not willing to discuss, he could only ask the headquarters.

Qian Yiduo didn't care, "It's almost a day before the auction." Although there are 24 hours, I think it should be enough for you board discussions! Of course, we will communicate with other buyers during this process, and we hope that you will have good news before I make a final decision. ”

After finishing speaking, Qian Yiduo stopped talking.

Robles didn't say anything more and left with a black face.

Li Rui has been in a state of sluggishness since Qian Yiduo said that he wanted Sotheby's to pay him the buyer's commission, he didn't expect that Qian Yiduo would be so greedy, and more importantly, Qian Yiduo was so bold!

"Come back to your senses!" After Robles left, Qian Yiduo stretched out his hand in front of Li Rui's eyes and shook him several times in a sluggish state before Li Rui came back to his senses, "How is it, my performance?" You're implying that I'm going to slaughter them, that's pretty much the same, right? ”

"When did I imply that you slaughtered them like this? Are you not afraid that you will have your life to take money and not to spend it? Li Rui took a deep breath and calmed down the excitement in his heart before saying to Qian Yiduo, "If they agree this time, you will definitely have to be on their blacklist, and we will ...... in the future."

"Isn't that what you're signaling to make them bleed?" Qian Yiduo was also confused, he thought that Li Rui said that he would give him a house and a bodyguard or something to make him offer more. At this time, I didn't bother to explain, but Qian Yiduo didn't care about Li Rui's blacklist at Sotheby's, "What about being on their blacklist?" I don't do collecting, what's more, do you think you can do such a thing for a long time? ”

"But we have other colored diamonds or something!" Li Rui's breathing was a little heavy.

"And Christie's! Of course, if they are willing to accept this condition, we can give them the diamond auction, and if they go too far, then go to Christie's. "I don't care about the money at all.

"That's just as well. Your heart is so black! "What else can Li Rui say?" Still, the black dots are good. I think we'll have to call the old man, and I'd better let him see what we have again, so that he can make up for their loss. ”

There is a lot of money, and there is no committal.

Li Rui said that he would go out after having dinner with Qian Yiduo in the evening, and Qian Yiduo didn't take these things to heart and continued to learn about nanofabrication technology.

It is necessary to ensure that the initial idea of production equipment can be developed when the prototype is presented by Xinrui Technology.

Li Rui came out and caught up with Robles, facing him, Robles, who was full of gloom, gritted his teeth and did not speak, obviously, he thought that he was pitted by the two Chinese united.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Robles! The result of the matter is not what we want to see......" Li Rui's face was sincere, and his words were full of apologies.

Robles, however, did not speak at all, but just looked at him.

"Mr. Robles, I know that you are short on time and need to report to the headquarters, but I hope to take up a minute of your time......" Li Rui directly took out a stack of photos in his hand.

At first, Robles didn't care at all, if it wasn't for the sake of Sotheby's reputation, if it wasn't for the time constraints, she would not hesitate to cancel the auction.

However, the photo in Li Rui's hand made him become excited when he saw it for the first time.

snatched the photos from Li Rui's hand, and then quickly flipped through the photos, and the whole person became trembling with excitement.

"It's all true?" Robles' voice was trembling.

"Yes, these are mined from the same pit as the Huaxia Star. It was mined many years ago, and all of this batch of diamonds is in his hands......"

"It's all in his hands?" An idea popped into Robles' mind that the diamonds were fake.

"Yes, at first, we all thought that the diamonds were fake, because we looked into the identity of this young man, and it was all blank, of course, after the background check on him, ......," Li Rui said to Robles.

Robles wasn't interested in where the diamonds came from, he cared about who auctioned them!

"It's because he still has these in his hands that he has so much to rely on." Li Rui said to Robles.

Subsequently, the two went to the café, and Li Rui handed Robles a thick stack of appraisal reports from Huaxia, "Although Huaxia's appraisal is not recognized internationally, I think these things should be able to give you some confidence." You can hold a grand diamond auction after your own firm organization and the three major diamond grading agencies have appraised these diamonds......"

"Where are these diamonds now?" Robles took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement inside.

"In our hands. I also communicated with him just now, this batch of diamonds, when auctioned, he can bear a 4% commission, and the buyer's commission will not be asked again. I think this information is enough for you to convince your board of directors to ......" Li Rui was very calm.

Robles licked his lips, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked Li Rui, just based on this photo, how can I believe that you really have it in your hands? ”

For money, many people can sell their souls.

"You have been preparing for this auction for three months, and if there is no Huaxia Star, I think this auction will be a failure. For the sake of Sotheby's reputation and for the sake of your customers, you have to say yes even if he asks for higher terms, right? Li Rui didn't say how to make the other party believe in himself.

Robles' face became calm as he listened to him, and his eyes flickered without saying anything.

"The diamonds in it, because it passed through our hands, the whole batch of diamonds, we will have 5% of the total auction price." "If you need to, I can guarantee that he won't engage with those clients until you've made a decision." ”

Robles nodded, asked for the technical information, and then left the Four Seasons Hotel.

Li Rui looked at his back, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

In the face of the obvious blackmail of the Chinese, Robles was very dissatisfied, but then Li Rui gave him these materials, which really moved him.

There are nearly 100 diamonds, none of these diamonds can be compared with the Huaxia Star, but the value of this batch of diamonds will even far exceed the Huaxia Star.

But will the board agree?

Robles could not guarantee that, as if, again, they had to agree to such conditions.

At Sotheby's headquarters in New York, USA, at eight o'clock in the morning, the board of directors was already full of people.

At this time, there is still an hour before they go to work.

All the people don't know why they are called to a meeting at this time, and some people should be on the golf course at this time, or are exercising, instead of sitting in the company meeting.

The young chairman looked at these directors and signaled, and the company's executive president, Stade, who was not young but not old enough, did not have any greetings, and went straight to the point.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very sorry to disturb everyone's precious rest time, there is news from the Xiangjiang branch, this time there is a problem with the Huaxia Star auction, which our company attaches the most importance to, before that, our customers' personal information was leaked, and many diamond dealers and jewelers and wealthy people have contacted them, in view of this reason, the owner of this huge diamond proposed that not only ask the seller to waive the commission, but also need to pay the buyer's commission to him for compensation, otherwise the auction will be cancelled."

Chairman Davidson Tauberman, who was sitting in the main seat, looked calm, while the other directors immediately exploded.

"No, the auction company has paid too much this time, and this is also a good opportunity to restructure Sotheby's, according to the previous speculation, the commission is likely to exceed 200 million US dollars......" A chubby, balding old man suddenly roared.

"There has never been a precedent like this! Waiver of seller commissions is enough! They're just too greedy! ”

"Absolutely cannot agree to their terms."

How can the excited sensibles agree to let them cut their flesh when they hear it?

This auction was specially prepared for this diamond, all the customers were screened, and at the same time, many valuable auction items were made, and if there was no finale of the world's largest diamond, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Everyone, please be quiet. It is true that we were at fault in the first place, and our negligence caused the leakage of customer information...... "Stade had no choice but to look at Chairman Davidson Tauberman, who was in his forties, and patted the table lightly, and waited until it was quiet before speaking slowly. "For this auction, we have been preparing for three months, inviting all the high-quality customers, if in this auction, our customers do not see Huaxia Star, everyone think about the consequences......"

Everyone fell silent.

The expressions on his face were all unwilling and painful.

"Of course, this is not a leak caused by us, but a leak by the three major appraisal agencies that was not well thought out before...... But our customers don't think so. In recent years, most of the auction items in the auction market have appeared before, which has caused a recession in our auction industry...... "Now the situation at Sotheby's, these directors know well.

Otherwise, they would not have cared so much about the auction of this Huaxia Star.

Similarly, the profits from this auction will also make the pockets of all directors bulge.
