Chapter 415: Meet the Robbers
Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!
Kobe Bryant didn't do it back then, and Kobe Bryant, who is more mature now, can't do it, and even if he does, he may not be able to get the slightest bargain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Then again, with two staff members in the middle, it would be a fool to do it again.
It's all about face, even sports stars.
"Kobe Bryant......" Luke Wharton looked at Murphy and then at Kobe Bryant in confusion, and said, "What's going on with you guys?" ”
The fist slowly released, Kobe Bryant took a deep look at Murphy, raised his hand, and slapped Luke Wharton on the back of the head, causing a muffled sound.
"Let's go!" He didn't seem to want to see Murphy for a moment, so he walked towards the outside of the banquet hall first, urging Luke Wharton, who was lagging behind, as he went, "Stupid, hurry up! ”
Luke Wharton touched the back of his head and left after Kobe Bryant.
"You ......" Gal Gadot asked Murphy again as he looked at the back of the two sports stars leaving, "what happened between you?" ”
Murphy thought about it, this is the person closest to him, there is no need to hide it.
"When I started." He wasn't ashamed at all, "Kobe Bryant has sponsored a fund. ”
"Have you sponsored a sum of money?" Gal Gadot looked at Murphy with disbelief in his eyes, "Is it really sponsorship?" ”
She had heard Murphy talk about how most of the start-up capital came from.
Murphy shrugged his shoulders and said the original incident briefly, "Hmm...... That's about it. ”
"Okay, dear." Gal Gadot sighed, "You started harder than I thought. ”
After speaking, she also grabbed Murphy's hand and shook it hard, Murphy's efforts were indeed far beyond her imagination, 99.9% of people facing his situation at that time, I am afraid they will completely sink, that is, Murphy is determined and has excellent ability, and he has broken through a road to climb upwards and worked hard to climb up.
"These are nothing." Seeing that Gal Gadot was a little depressed, Murphy knew that she was worried about herself, so he shook her hand hard and said, "Really, it's nothing. My dear, if I don't work hard, how can I meet you? How can you have the best girlfriend in the whole world. ”
People like Murphy have always done more and talked less, and rarely when this kind of emotion is exposed, Gal Gadot turned his head, looked at Murphy, and nodded vigorously, she knew how lucky she was.
The auction was held in the form of a gala dinner, and soon food and drinks were delivered, but most of the people who came here, like Murphy and Gal Gadot, each had a specific goal and did not have much interest in the food, and paid more attention to the so-called charity auction later.
The organizers didn't let the guests wait long, and the auction began quickly, with Susan Saperstein's collection of luxury goods and works of art at the front, Murphy was not interested, and Gal Gadot routinely sold one for a few thousand dollars.
The charity campaign to save the miserable black children in the United States is indeed commendable, but unfortunately only a small amount of the money from this auction will be used for this, and the rest will be sold for dog meat on the head of a sheep, which will inevitably end up in personal pockets.
Frankly, Murphy also struggled to develop much affection for black people.
Although he didn't like black people before, he didn't dislike them, he just treated them like other ordinary people, instead of treating them as so-called special elements, and when filming "Man of Steel", Murphy also used Lawrence Fishburne, a black actor, in the role of director of "Planet Daily", and the other party also left an excellent impression on him.
The cool-looking black actor has a normal heart, not the glass heart of some black actors in the circle, and in the crew, like David Robbie, Filip Raschel and Chris Evans and other employees, just think of themselves as ordinary members of the crew, and don't think of themselves as special ones because of the color of their skin.
Lawrence Fishburne used his actual performance to change some of Murphy's views on black actors, and began to consider that when filming other films in the future, he could continue to use black actors.
But soon after this idea appeared, Murphy completely abandoned it, and decided that he would never use black actors for the main roles in his projects in the future.
Needless to say, something must have happened to make someone like Murphy change his mind with an independent-minded and strong-willed person, which stimulated his steely nerves and made him angry.
A few months ago, a famous black rapper in the United States released a new hip-hop song called "Meet the Robbers", the content of which is to incitement criminals to rob the rich Chinese in North America.
In this music video, it describes in detail how to rob Chinese and Chinese, "First, you find a house in a Chinese community because they don't trust bank accounts", and the lyrics also describe in detail how to go to the Chinese place of residence to steal the specific process, and even suggest "don't go to the big screen LCD TV and laptop, steal the jewelry box is more cost-effective, and you can cash it on the day you get it to the pawnshop".
And this black rapper is an important member of a black rights advocacy organization!
Maybe the average American doesn't think it's anything, but Murphy has a special experience, how can he have a good impression of these people?
In this world, there is always a kind of person, when you just have some expectations for them, will shatter all your expectations with extremely clumsy performance, and make your senses for them fall directly into the abyss.
Of course, Murphy will not just be a bystander, he has found a Chinese lawyer, the other party has reported to the FBI, and the FBI has officially filed a case and arranged a special person to investigate, in short, the black uncle will definitely not have a good time.
"Now the film is going to be filmed at the 'Flowers of Leith' estate in Mount Hobel, Beverly Hills......"
After waiting for a long time, the auctioneer on the auction table at the front of the banquet hall finally mentioned the only lot that Murphy was interested in, and after a brief introduction, the auctioneer said loudly, "The starting price of the 'Flower of Leith' estate is $60 million, and the price increase is not less than $1 million each time. ”
A reserve price of $60 million and a minimum markup of $1 million may not seem high, but it is also an auction technique that often attracts more people to the auction bidding competition and unknowingly become potential buyers.
"$61 million!"
In the front row, a sign has been raised.
He then held up another sign, "$62 million!" ”
When the bidding began, Murphy did not act, and waited patiently, and now it was not yet time for him to make a move, and it was impossible for the 'Flower of Leith' to be sold at a price of more than $60 million.
When he came in, Maria Carey, the main rival that Leonardo DiCaprio was talking about, was also quiet, and Murphy didn't see her holding up her sign.
"$70 million!"
Probably impatient with the price of a million dollars each time, a middle-aged woman in the first two rows of Murphy directly raised the price by a notch.
Murphy still waited and saw what was going on, and he wasn't in a hurry.
"$71 million."
The first one in the front row to shout the price looked quite persistent.
The competition for the Flower of Leith was fierce, and it quickly climbed from $60 million to $80 million.
At this price, anywhere in the world, it can be called a super deal.
"Real estate has always been a miracle industry." Murphy whispered to Gal Gadot, who shook his head, "Are you talking back?" ”
Murphy shrugged, neither admitting nor denying it.
In any case, the real estate industry has created myths in Japan, and at its craziest times, the price of land in Tokyo alone was enough to buy the entire United States.
The U.S. economy recovered from the trauma of 911, and the real estate industry also contributed to it, and the federal government invested too much in this industry, and the real estate industry gave them enough rewards - the subprime mortgage crisis!
"$85 million!"
At the spot where Murphy was interested, a sign was raised.
Murphy also knew that the person holding the sign was Mariah Carey, and the famous flower butterfly finally made a move.
"$86 million!"
The first one in the front row to shout the price raised his sign again.
Almost at the moment when the price was called, the sign of Mariah Carey was held up again, "$90 million!" ”
The entire auction hall immediately fell into an extremely quiet atmosphere.
Although some appraisal agencies have valued the 'Flower of Leith' at hundreds of millions of dollars, the appraisal is completely different from the actual sale, and very few of the luxury homes sold throughout North America can be sold for an appraisal.
$90 million is a very high figure for the Flower of Leith.
"$90 million for the first time!"
The auctioneer shouted loudly, but no one raised any more signs, most of the people sitting at the scene were rich and famous people from Hollywood and some overseas countries, $90 million is not a small number for anyone, "$90 million for the second time!" ”
Murphy took his sign from Gal Gadot's hand and held it up, "$91 million!" ”
"$95 million!" Mariah Carey raises the price again.
After glancing over there, Murphy also raised his card again, "One hundred million dollars!" ”
He doesn't know much about the so-called auction techniques, and Mariah Kelly can't be the organizer's trust, so the two sides are undoubtedly competing to see who is richer.
Since Susan Saperstein demanded that the buyer of the 'Flower of Leith' pay the full amount in one lump sum, to be exact, who had the more cash and liquidity in this auction! (To be continued.) )
