"Both's two, in order to express our apologies at Sotheby's, after I applied to the company's headquarters, the company's board of directors decided to reduce the seller's commission that should have been paid by you from 12% to 6%......" Robles took a deep breath and looked at the two with some apprehension.

At this time, he was a little nervous, originally, the board of directors meant to reduce it from 12% to 4%, and even, if the seller did not accept such conditions, he could auction it for free, and even give some other compensation.

Robles, on the other hand, didn't want to reach the bottom line all at once.

Chinese are greedy, and similarly, some small bargains can also make them happily accept. Originally, he was going to want to start with 8%, so that he could negotiate slowly, and eventually it was very likely that the other party would agree to the 4% commission rate. But seeing the auctioneer's mood, he simply dropped a little more.

Qian Yiduo was also a little moved when he heard that this old man had directly reduced his commission from 12% to 6%.

Even if it's just $100 million, that's millions of dollars.

Sure enough, it is a large company with deep pockets.

I wanted to speak, but when I saw Li Rui continuing to give me a look, I immediately understood that this proportion was still too high, and pushed Li Rui in front of him, then turned his head and said to Robles with a cold face: "Sir, do you think I care about money? What I care about is that you leak my personal information, so that I can no longer live a peaceful life! You are an insult to me!"

"You'd love to be insulted with more money, right? Xiao Rui, who has always been silent, can't tell whether he praises or despises Qian Yiduo's performance. "His floor price should be even lower than that, although it looks very painful, in fact his heart is very calm, the blood in his body is not increasing, and the rate of his heart is not increasing. ”

Qian Yiduo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Xiao Rui's sudden words.

Xiao Rui actually has a lie detector function?

"Mr. Robles, although my client doesn't care about the money, the conditions you offer do not show Sotheby's sincerity!" Li Rui said calmly to Robles, "Everyone in the whole world has great trust in Sotheby's brand, and if everyone in the world knows that Sotheby's leaked the personal information of the most important auction customer......

Robles' face changed drastically.

They are not only worried that the customer is trading with the buyer privately, but also about this problem.

Many of the world's top collectibles and treasures are owned by people who don't want outsiders to know about them.

Such a top-level auction is only limited to a small circle, and everyone will keep the transaction secret, even if there is no person who has not auctioned the treasure, they will follow this convention, otherwise, they will be excluded by the whole circle.

This time there is such a situation, and once it is made public, it will deal a serious blow to Sotheby's.

Christie's has begun to show momentum over Sotheby's, especially in the growing number of local tycoons in the Chinese market, who are more willing to spend money than the richest in Europe.

"4%!" Robles gritted his teeth, trying to make a flesh-cutting expression.

This is somewhat inconsistent with his principle of negotiating with people.

"If we were to get in touch with these jewelers and diamond dealers or even some other people who knew about us, do you think you would still receive a commission?" Li Rui took out a handful of business cards from the handbag he was carrying and shook it at Robles.

These business cards have a common feature, there are no fancy designs on them, only different colors, and the only thing in common is that there is only the name and phone number on them, and nothing else.

The look on Robles' face changed even more.

The other party is not wrong.

"What's more, if there is no auction, or if these customers you invite to the auction will not be able to see Huaxia Star at that time, I think this result is what Christie's is most happy to see!" Li Rui's words were still calm.

His demeanor, his performance, did not match his age at all.

Robles also did not expect at all, he thought that the Chinese who could fool the past at will were actually aggressive and directly grasped their key points.

"It's really an oversight on our part, and no one wants to see that happen. Since it has appeared, we should actively communicate and find ways to make amends. Both, we have shown our sincerity, and if you feel that Sotheby's sincerity is not enough, you can offer your terms. Seeing that the other party did not even accept such a low commission of 4%, Robles understood that the greed of the Chinese had exceeded his imagination.

Simply, he no longer makes conditions, but lets the other party make an offer, so that he can take the initiative.

"Mr. Qian, now this thing has happened, do you see?" Li Rui glanced at Robles, the treacherous old man, with deep meaning, and said to Qian Yiduo helplessly.

His reaction made Qian Yiduo not expect.

This play is well played.

Sure enough, none of these people are as easy to deal with as they seem on the surface.

"What if I say I don't want to auction it?" Qian Yiduo pretended to be helpless, and when he saw that Robles was a little excited and wanted to interrupt himself, he immediately said to Robles, "Mr. Robles, you'd better not interrupt me." It's very rude, don't you know?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qian, you can't do this. Robles was really excited at this moment.

The young boy in front of him, he is the owner of Huaxia Star.

If Qian Yiduo really changes his mind, Sotheby's will really be discredited this time, and it will lose a large number of wealthy customers. Eventually, these customers will be the basis on which Christie's crushes them.

"We have been planning this auction for three months. Although the previous appraisal price was only $100 million, depending on the customers we selected, it is entirely possible that the auction price will exceed $1 billion!" Robles said excitedly to Qian Yiduo, "A billion dollars!"

"No matter how much money you have, so what? I don't want to live in worry every day. Originally, my parents were reluctant to let me auction this diamond, just hoping that I could live in peace,......" Qian Yiduo sighed.

His face was full of helplessness.

Even Li Rui didn't expect that Qian Yiduo could perform so perfectly.

"Now that your information has been leaked out, many people will do anything to get these treasures, understand? If it is in your hands, they may only pay a smaller price to get this masterpiece of God!" Robles is like a strange Shu Huang tricked Xiaogu Liang into going with him to see the goldfish, "Selling it is the best way now!"

"Mr. Money, Mr. Robles is indeed right. Although our domestic security situation is very good, holding a stone that cannot be eaten or drunk...... Li Rui also began to help Robles persuade Qian Yiduo. "This is also a problem that we didn't think of at the beginning, in order to show our sincerity, we will not charge any fees, in addition, we will compensate you for a villa in Swan Castle at the south gate of Rongcheng, and hire two of the best bodyguards for you!"

"Yes, that's it, if you want, we can give you a new identity, no one will be able to find you......" Robles nodded busily.

Qian Yiduo glanced at Li Rui deeply, and it seemed as if it was true.

"It sounds like it can only be sold!, but who can guarantee that it will really sell for a billion dollars in this auction?" Qian Yiduo controlled his voice with a hint of trembling, and his body trembled slightly, as if this billion dollars made him too excited, but he was trying to pretend that he didn't care about the money. "Mr. Robles just said that it might be!"

Robles was silent.

Having worked at Sotheby's for almost four decades, he knows very well that no one can be sure that something will fetch what price it will fetch at auction.

Some tycoons are crazy, although, most of the rich will be very cautious when auctioning. It will not be like those nouveau riche in China, who are crazy to spend money in order to declare their financial strength.

This time is different, the Huaxia Star is the largest high-quality diamond ever discovered in the world, and the major jewelers, diamond dealers, are all trying their best to get it, and this thing is used for publicity, more than everything.

"I suppose that in order to show sufficient sincerity, Sotheby's, which Mr. Robles represents, should be able to offer greater compensation, Mr. Robles, right?" asked Li Rui, who broke the silence and turned to Robles.

"Yes!" Robles nodded busily, "and to apologize, we will auction this diamond for you free of charge." ”

After saying that, Robles realized that he seemed to have fallen into a trap.

If you are not careful, all your hole cards are exposed, if the other party still does not accept, then what should I do?

Li Rui motioned to Qian Yiduo, this is almost the same.

There is no commission, even if it is only auctioned for five or six billion dollars, it is still five or six million dollars.

"However, I've heard that it seems that the auction is not only for the seller's commission, but also for the buyer to charge the same commission as the seller?" Qian Yiduo suddenly asked.

His words made Li Rui's eyes pop out.

Robles, who was on the side, was completely stunned, his body shook for a while, and it was not easy to stabilize his body.

He kept praying in his heart to the Lord Almighty not to let this kid make such conditions, otherwise, they would be busy in vain this time.

However, it was as if the Lord Almighty had fallen asleep and did not answer His prayers.

"If you are really sincere, you should be like Li Ji and make greater compensation to me. Since Li Ji sent the house and the bodyguard, I think you should give me more money so that I can afford to pay the bodyguard's salary......" Qian Yiduo licked his lips, his face full of greed.

"No, we're ...... for this auction," Robles almost despaired.

This young Chinese is really too greedy.

"Either accept my terms, or cancel the auction of Huaxia Star. Qian Yiduo said very firmly.
