At noon, the two still did not go out, and no matter how much Robles praised the Michelin-starred restaurant's French cuisine for its delicate texture, delicious sauces, and unimaginably beautiful tableware, neither of them was impressed.

Qian Yiduo eats and doesn't care.

And Li Rui, who has a strict pursuit of eating, said with a look of contempt, "Please don't say to a real Chinese foodie that non-Chinese dishes are delicious." Really delicious food is not to look at the gorgeous tableware, the use of sauces or anything, without any seasonings, just using the original taste of the food to make delicious, completely relying on processing methods to intensify the texture and taste of the food itself, you can eat the natural taste is the top food. Of course, you can't understand this at all. ”

Li Rui's remarks shocked Robles for a moment, he knew the deliciousness of Chinese cuisine, and also knew that the entire Chinese nation was the most delicious person in the world, and the pursuit of food was incomparable to any race in the world, even the most ordinary family and the most ordinary dishes were not comparable to the bread and beef that Europeans and Americans usually eat. But he never thought that just food would have such a statement.

And Qian Yiduo completely scoffed at Li Rui's remarks.

Real food is nothing more than the energy needs of filling the stomach and maintaining human physical activity, whether it is delicious or unpalatable, the purpose is the same.

Li Rui's statement is just to pretend to be forced!

In any case, anyway, the goal of the two is the same, that is, not to eat with this old man at present, so as not to take people short and eat people softly.

In fact, the main thing is that the two hate to be with Robles, an old man who looks kind on the surface but is actually black-hearted.

It wasn't until almost five o'clock in the afternoon that Sotheby's global president Stade and chairman Davidson Tauberman arrived, which made the eerie atmosphere lighter.

"Let's say, about the follow-up special auction, what kind of conditions can you offer that will make us happy!" Li Rui did not beat around the bush, and after introducing each other and briefly greeting each other, he went directly to the point.

Qian Yiduo stared at the young Davidson Tauberman on the side, this thing was more young than he imagined.

Davidson and the others didn't expect the Huaxia people to be so direct, which made many of the statements they had prepared unable to say, and it seemed impossible to use anything else to lower the conditions of the Huaxia people.

"We may accept your request to waive your commission; At the same time, in order to maintain good faith, we can share the buyer's commission with you. If all the commissions were not charged, and we had to pay a huge cost to prepare for this auction ourselves, I don't think anyone would want to, two, what do you think? Stede said with a serious face.

They were not prepared to bargain with the Chinese people repeatedly.

The other party is too young to follow the rules at all.

Qian Yiduo really didn't expect that the other party would actually give up the strength they should have as a large company and occupy an advantage.

Li Rui didn't expect it either.

This makes them unable to answer.

Seeing the other party's expression, Davidson couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth a little, while Stade continued, "Such a condition has never appeared in the auction history of the entire auction house. Even if it's Christie's and Philip, at most, they will only give you the same conditions as us...... Regarding the auction of Huaxia Star, we already have a good foundation for cooperation, which can make the future cooperation more beneficial. ”

Li Rui didn't know how to answer.

Turning to look at Qian Yiduo, Qian Yiduo was also a little helpless, so he could only ask, "Mr. Stade, we are indeed very tempted by the conditions you have proposed, but you should know that our biggest concern is not anything else, but that you leak our personal information." ”

Qian Yiduo did not negotiate conditions.

At present, just one Huaxia Star has attracted the attention of the entire world's richest people, and they know better than anyone how much it will affect them if so many diamonds in their hands are leaked.

"Rest assured, we won't make the same mistakes we made before! This time it was because we were in a hurry, in addition to our appraisers, there were people from the three major appraisal agencies, and these people usually worked very closely with us, and we didn't think that they would violate their professional ethics......" Stade said to Qian Yiduo and the two of them very sincerely. "Of course, in order to express our apologies, not only do we not charge a penny of commission for this auction, but even the buyer's commission is also paid to you as compensation."

Although the condition was proposed by the other party, the people at Sotheby's did not feel that this condition was too much.

At least, they didn't let Qian Yiduo and Li Rui see that they had such thoughts.

"How do you guarantee that? Once the news leaks out, this batch of expensive diamonds will cause countless people to covet. Billions of dollars in diamond ......," Li Rui asked in a deep voice.

Wealth touches people's hearts.

Once the news leaks out, whether it is Li Rui or Qian Yiduo, they will all fall into a situation of eternal peace.

"I know that no guarantee can be proven, but we can guarantee in the name of Sotheby's that the accident of Huaxia Star will not occur again. In addition, in order to ensure that there is no leakage, this special auction will be held in China...... At the same time, we will invite reliable appraisers from the three major appraisal institutions to enter Huaxia Appraisal, and they will not appear anywhere in the world until the auction is completed......" Stede, who had not spoken, spoke.

This remark made Robles change color.

Such a method has never appeared in the history of Sotheby's, and the price Sotheby's pays for it will be very large.

If the other party does not let go and still insists on demanding, like this time, Sotheby's will even have a huge loss.

You know, in top auctions, a lot of the costs for customers are paid by them.

"Your sincerity really touched us." After Li Rui made eye contact with Qian Yiduo, Qian Yiduo shrugged his shoulders indifferently, there is not much difference between him at home and abroad.

For Li Rui, it's different.

Young people who can open several jewelry stores in China are basically impossible without a background.

What's more, Li Rui's guts are fat enough.

"Happy working together!" Hearing what the other party said, Stade's nervous expression relaxed, and he stretched out his hands to Li Rui, "We will draw up the contract as soon as possible, and after the appraisal, we will start operating, and strive to hold a world-renowned diamond festival before the New Year." ”

"Happy working together!"

Sotheby's attitude made the two completely unexpected, so in the end, on the issue of the details of the commission, Qian Yiduo took the initiative to make concessions, and he did not insist that Sotheby's pay them the buyer's commission, but instead made concessions on the seller's commission.

Sotheby's was given a 4% commission, which was deducted directly from the funds received after the auction was completed.

Such a decision surprised Li Rui, but Qian Yiduo did not show this before.

"What do you think will be the end result if we take all the benefits? At present, Sotheby's already knows that we have these diamonds in our hands, although the actual manufacturing cost of these diamonds is very low, just a bunch of carbon elements, but for the world, it will cause countless people to go crazy...... "Qian Yiduo doesn't believe that Li Rui doesn't know this."

"I'm afraid you'll keep going." Li Rui's face was playful.

Qian Yiduo rarely did not speak.

Because, his original intention was not like this, and the proposal to give up part of the interests was put forward by Xiao Rui.

Sotheby's may not be tempted, but their shareholders are unlikely to be tempted, and even Davidson and Stade may be.

That batch of diamonds does not exist in the international arena at present.

They can get their hands on it, and with their huge connections and resources, they can easily launder these diamonds.

"Let's go, let's have dinner with them, although I'm not interested in Western food, but Michelin-starred French food is really good." After Li Rui figured out Qian Yiduo's thoughts, he became relaxed.

Davidson took the initiative to invite the two to dinner together, and then went to the auction site together, and the two did not shirk it again.

From the moment he entered the Caprice restaurant in the hotel, Qian Yiduo was like a dirt bun, deeply shocked by the exquisite decoration, Michelin, he had only heard of it, he had not been there, and he had not even seen it, but the shock was only at the beginning, and the surrounding environment was not too important to him.

And Li Rui is obviously not the first time, from the beginning to the last serving, the performance is not worse than the few Americans opposite, far from all the actions to learn from them, and the stiff movements can be compared with a lot of money.

Caprice offers the purest traditional French cuisine for a few people, each of the thirteen dishes is not a small portion, but it looks very good, and even different dishes are paired with different wines.

At first, Qian Yiduo was still staring at the movements of several other people, but later, when he saw that Li Rui didn't care about the gentlemanly demeanor of Davidson and the others, he simply didn't bother to eat slowly and methodically, and drank while eating......

French cuisine is exquisite, but for Qian Yiduo, this thing is not suitable for his taste, and he even thinks that this thing is not as comfortable as finding a fly restaurant on the streets of Rongcheng and ordering a fat pot of meat.

"The etiquette is for them Westerners, let's just follow our own. Don't you think it's embarrassing to learn from them to eat? Li Rui didn't care at all about the strange look in the eyes of the others.

Subsequently, Qian Yiduo also made a remark that French cuisine is not as good as returning to the pot meat.
