The party was a great success, the Hôtel de Paris is a century-old brand, but also a place where celebrities gather, and the party was very well organized, even if it was short. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The number of guests is also quite large, almost no need for Li Mobai's invitation, many celebrities who are quite prestigious in the world have come to congratulate, in fact, this is a signal of goodwill - you are not a nouveau riche, of course, this is also because Li Mobai always gives people an image of a humble gentleman, and has been praised by Time magazine, but these guests can come because of various relationships, such as Li Mobai's former classmates in Cambridge, or alumni, or friends of Li Mobai's friends.
At the party, especially many Cambridge alumni came uninvited, just to get to know Li Mobai, a small alumnus, maybe they can cooperate in the future, the shopping mall has always been three years in Hedong and five years in Hexi, ups and downs, maybe ten years ago, one side of the edge, ten years later can play a big role, in fact, it is so magical.
Li Mobai is enthusiastic and reserved for people who can come to join the party, and maintains a relationship that is about to leave, which is completely in line with Li Mobai's identity, not to mention that he won tens of billions of pounds this time, the previous Li Mobai is not to be underestimated, and the current holder of the highest price in the world's art public auction, this alone plus Li Mobai's Cambridge doctoral graduate status is enough to attract everyone's attention.
After ushering in the send-off, Cui Degui and a group of casino bigwigs also came to the party site and congratulated Li Mobai, but did not mention the cooperation proposal put forward by Li Mobai's steel, and Li Mobai did not expect them to reply immediately.
Many times, you have to do something, only strength is far from enough, you have to push him forward and give him some hardship, people are like this, conservative and can't let go of their identity.
But Li Mobai understands very well that after he raised this matter, he would never take the initiative to talk about it, otherwise he would not be able to reap the benefits of future cooperation.
While communicating with these bigwigs in various languages, Li Mobai secretly decided to make these guys suffer a little, and only after suffering was they could they negotiate.
After the next two days, the organizer cut 400 stones again, when the stone was cut, the organizer found that Li Mobai swept 4 billion euros again, and saw this report, and was immediately heartbroken, but the organizers also swept 60 billion yuan of bets from gamblers from all over the world again, Li Mobai's gambling incident stimulated the determination of many rich people to bet.
When the last time the preliminaries were dissolved, Li Mobai swept 4 billion euros again, and the organizers still absorbed tens of billions of revenue, but the organizers still did not take the initiative to communicate with Li Mobai about cooperation.
In fact, Li Mobai misunderstood Cui Degui and a group of ghosts, ghosts still have rules for doing things in general, it is precisely because there are too many rules, so some things are done a little slowly, the process is very complicated, and all parties have boards of directors.
Li Mobai now understands what it means to count money and count to hand cramps, just one pre-round has swept 10 billion euros, Li Mobai feels too illusory, feels that all this is not real, more like a dream, those money are completely numbers, without any practical meaning.
Jiang Yunpeng heard that Li Mobai was crazy outside, and couldn't help but be a little worried about Li Mobai's safety, and at Jiang Suhan's strong request, he arranged 10 black supers around Li Mobai, in Jiang Yunpeng's words, these black supers are slightly worse than tigers and leopards, but tigers and leopards can deal with two or three people at most at the same time, and they have to say that they are very strong.
Li Mobai now hugs as soon as he goes out, and it is very lively, and at night, Li Mobai does not need to slip out again, but can enjoy the warm fragrant nephrite when he returns to the room, and Bai Xue slips to Li Mobai's room.
After the preliminaries, Zhang Qun visited again, Sotheby's annual auction is about to be held, Zhang Qun will not be missing Li Mobai, a big buyer, for Li Mobai is willing to make a move, Zhang Qun is very confident, as long as Li Mobai goes, he will definitely shoot.
After reading the materials of the first round, Li Mobai quickly decided on the number of bets to be bet, and told Han Dong to bet at the last moment, and then he no longer cared about the big gambling stone, but his mind was attracted by this private annual auction, anyway, there are still a few days before the second round.
When Li Mobai saw Zhang Qun again, Zhang Qun took out a piece of paper and handed it to Li Mobai, and Li Mobai found that it was actually a confidentiality agreement of up to 10 million US dollars, which means that if Li Mobai revealed the information of the auction, he would not only lose tens of millions of US dollars, but also pay 10 times the compensation, and Sotheby's must not disclose Li Mobai's participation in the auction.
"Lao Zhang, it's really complicated, aren't you tired of this multiple agreement?" Li Mobai said with a smile after reading all the agreements, knowing in his heart that these things are all shady things, and secrecy is a must.
"Hey, I've signed such an agreement too, safety first, reputation first." Zhang Qun said very vaguely, "There are only three people in the entire Sotheby's Hong Kong who know about this, including me, and inviting you to participate is also to find that you have bought a large number of smuggled cultural relics in Hollywood." ”
Zhang Qun explained why Li Mobai was invited, but it was not because Li Mobai was rich.
Li Mobai doesn't care, anyway, this kind of thing involves a wide range of things, even if you say it, there is not much of a problem, on the one hand, no one will believe it, on the other hand, there is a net covering this news, and the interests involved are by no means only Sotheby's, so he said, "As long as you have something and I like it, why don't I dare to sign it." ”
"Hurry up, you can rest assured, this is the ticket for tomorrow's Princess Isa cruise, the whole voyage will be 3 days, and it will not prevent you from continuing to play the legend in Monte Carlo." Zhang Qun waited until Li Mobai signed the contract and said with a smile, "By the way, don't bring any equipment related to photography, photography, audio recording, etc., and if you do, we can only keep it for you." ”
"Well, you're telling me what's good now, right? You can't let me just go to sea for three trips, it won't be worth the loss. Li Mobai didn't talk to Zhang Qun, but asked what Zhang Qun had.
"To be honest, I don't know exactly what it is, but I know that there are a lot of Chinese antiques in them, and you know that a lot of Chinese antiques are in the warehouses of European museums, and of course there are a lot of ghost goods from the mainland." Zhang Qun smiled and sold the guanzi.
Li Mobai didn't bother to ask, anyway, it would be clear at a glance when he got on the cruise ship tomorrow morning, and there were surprises when there was expectation.
Bidding farewell to Zhang Qun, Li Mobai was still followed by a vote of people, Li Mobai was a little tired, but he was helpless, these people did not obey their orders very much, they only listened to Jiang Yunpeng's orders, asking to protect Li Mobai's goal.
The Princess Isa cruise ship is a large luxury gambling ship, which has been in the waters of Monaco recently, and is now docking again, but there are not many guests on board, no more than 200, and each guest is wearing a black super, which can almost cover half of his face.
There are Li Mobai, Tiger and Leopard in the Black Super League, Li Mobai finally got rid of that group of shadow-like characters, thinking that he was about to see some rare antiques that had been stolen for many years or had been lost overseas for many years, Li Mobai was in a good mood.
After getting on the boat, he didn't find Zhang Qun, but a ghost guy received him, and took Li Mobai to a luxurious room, with a respectful attitude along the way, and when he arrived at the room, he said respectfully, "Sir, my name is Scott, you can come to me at any time if you have any needs, the exhibition needs to start after the open sea, and now there are opera performances, you can watch it in the room, or you can go to the opera house on the top floor." ”
Li Mobai knew that this must be on the high seas before it could start, Li Mobai was not interested in watching opera, opened his notebook and was about to watch a movie, at this moment there was a knock on the door, and after opening the door, he found that it was Zhang Qun who came to visit, and brought a few ghosts.
After the introduction, I knew that it was Carol, the president of Sotheby's, and Li Mobai was not too surprised by Carol's visit, and after a casual greeting, Carol thanked Li Mobai and left.
Li Mobai was not interested in watching a movie, so he took out a novel and read it, but only opened the book, the doorbell rang again, and he found that Scott had returned again.
"Sir, I'm sorry it's your number plate, access card, and mask." As he spoke, he put the number plate and mask on the coffee table in front of Li Mobai, "We don't mandate the use of masks, it's completely according to your personal wishes." ”
After Li Mobai thanked him, Scott left again, looked at the three masks that Scott gave him turned out to be demons, and couldn't help laughing, "Since you gave me a demon mask, then I will let you see what a demon is." ”
Three hours later, Scott came again to inform him that the show had begun, and that he could now visit the exhibits that would be auctioned today.
Hearing this, Li Mobai changed into a suitable one for wearing a mask, and then the three of them walked to the exhibition hall on the top floor with masks.
Not only do you have to swipe your card to enter the exhibition hall, but there is also a strict item inspection, and it is strictly forbidden to take pictures. As soon as I walked into the venue, I found that the venue was not too big, about 400 square meters, and the main exhibits were paintings. There were already quite a few people at the scene, and it looked like almost everyone was wearing masks, which was quite like a masquerade.
Li Mobai smiled in his heart, and looked at the famous paintings on display, but at a glance, Li Mobai couldn't help but be surprised, these are all famous paintings, and the oil painting in front of him turned out to be Cézanne's "Boy in a Red Vest".
In 08, 4 famous paintings were stolen from a museum in Switzerland, and these 4 famous paintings were worth 160 million US dollars, including this "Boy in a Red Vest".
