Xu Cheng knew that as long as he proposed, Lin Chuxue would say yes no matter what, but he still wanted to officially marry this woman and give her a full wedding ceremony that a woman deserved.
Although it was very vulgar, who wasn't?
If they weren't, would they still be human?
That night, Haber took a private jet to England.
The current owner of Taylor Burton's diamond was a wealthy Arab businessman, but for some unknown reason, he planned to auction the diamond through Britain's largest auction house, targeting the aristocratic circle.
It was really the right time.
In three days, Xu Cheng was going to propose to Nicole, and he was going to get the diamond tonight, no matter what.
His assistant looked at the time and said with a worried expression, "Sir, the auction house has already started."
Haber's face slightly changed. "What's going on?"
The assistant said cautiously, "There's a time difference between us and the auction house. So, in other words, even if we use our country's time to calculate, the auction in England will start an hour earlier than us. "
Haber: "How long until we land?"
Assistant: "At least half an hour, and then a ten-minute drive."
"Do you think we can still bid for this?" Haber directly roared, scaring the assistant into apologizing. In fact, it wasn't his fault. If it was according to the normal schedule, he would have already arranged everything. It was just that the auction house suddenly moved up at the last minute.
"What item is the Taylor Burton diamond auctioning off?"
The assistant stuttered, "Number, number one …"
Haber got in front of him and whispered, "Do you know how important this diamond is to me?"
The assistant nodded as if he knew he was in the wrong.
Haber: "Do you know that because of your negligence, I won't be able to bid for this thing? Let me tell you, this diamond is even more important than the big contracts I signed! "
Then, Haber directly kicked the assistant away. He was quite angry. If he couldn't get the diamond, then his other subordinates would probably laugh at him. He was the one who promised to prepare a wedding gift for Xu Cheng, but now, it was just a bunch of bullsh * t.
If he had a gun, he would have already shot this assistant to death and thrown him off the plane.
The assistant fell in the corner and did not dare to make a sound. It was also the first time that the bodyguards around saw their boss so angry.
Haber sat on the edge of the bed. After calming himself down, he said without even looking at his assistant, "I'll think of a way to make it up to you. No matter who wins the bid, contact him immediately. No matter how much it costs, I want that diamond necklace. Remember, at all costs! "
The assistant nodded, and his hope was immediately reignited. In order to become Haber's assistant, he had gone through many rounds of selection and had been selected from the elites of the elites. He did not want to lose this job because of a single mistake.
"Don't worry, Mister. I will do this well."
Harper looked out the window. "If I don't get the diamond today, you'll be thrown into my crocodile pond as food."
The assistant shuddered. He immediately picked up his phone and went to the washroom to make a call. As Haber's man, he naturally had a powerful network. He used Haber's assistant's convenience to contact the auction house and knew the whereabouts of the diamond necklace.
The reason why the Taylorburton diamond necklace was placed first in the auction was because the auction house felt that this item wouldn't be sold so easily.
That was because the Arabian businessman's original bid price was not cheap. Now, he wanted to sell it. The starting price was 200 million USD, and each bid would not be lower than 10 million USD. This price was a bit outrageous. To be honest, the main reason for coming to this auction house today was to bid for those famous oil paintings, such as Van Gogh, which had high collectible values. As for the Taylor-Burton diamond, to be honest, ordinary collectors did not like to collect it, because its target audience was always women. First of all, which man would throw 200 million US dollars or more to please a woman? That would really be a fool. No matter how much a woman liked this diamond and would rather have a man transfer money to her, she would not want a diamond that was so difficult to cash in.
The main reason was that the price was too high. If the starting price was 50 million USD, perhaps people would be more interested.
200 million USD!
Forget it.
Therefore, the organizer could only treat this diamond as a transitional product at the beginning of the auction. That was because the number of buyers who could throw a lot of money for it was really limited, and it might not be able to cause a stir.
Below the stage, a wealthy man from South Korea brought his female companion to participate in this auction. Before the auction, he asked his attendant to pay the organizer some money to find out more about the customers who were interested in this diamond tonight.
Under normal circumstances, the customers who were interested in the item would more or less find out the bottom line and the seller's price, and the auction house would make an evaluation report for the customers who inquired about it.
After the attendant walked over, he whispered into the South Korean young master's ear, "Young Master, I've asked around. There are probably no more than three people who came for this necklace tonight, including you."
The South Korean young master smiled and turned to look at the woman beside him. He was from one of the four big families in South Korea, and the woman beside him was also the daughter of one of the four big families. In his father's words, he wanted him to pursue this woman to form a marriage alliance between the two families.
Therefore, he did not tell this woman about the auction tonight. He wanted to give her a surprise and further deepen their relationship.
"Welcome, everyone, to our auction house. We will donate 5% of the auction price to the World Children's Foundation for charity. Thank you again for coming."
After the host walked onto the stage, he made some opening remarks. Then, the first item of the night, which was also the item that attracted the least interest, was brought onto the stage.
"I'm sure everyone has heard about the first item that we will be auctioning tonight. This diamond weighs 61 grams, and it is considered a luxury item of the world's largest diamond size. More than 30 years ago, it was auctioned for 1.1 million pounds. The owner named it Taylor Burton! "1.1 million pounds back then is equivalent to more than 100 million USD today. Now, when it appears in the auction house again, its owner hopes to sell it at a starting price of no less than 200 million USD. Everyone should know that this diamond, which is one of the top ten, has historical records and is worth collecting. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get another one."
At this moment, a few people walked into the auction house and whispered a few words into their boss's ear.
"I heard from the auction house that King Haber really wants to get this diamond."
"Did you guys hear? Haber is looking to buy rare and top-notch diamonds recently. "
"I just received reliable information that Mr. Haber's plane might have missed its flight. His assistant called the organizer and hoped that the auction could be postponed. However, the organizer was under too much pressure because there were too many guests and couldn't agree to it."
"A few headhunting companies received calls from Haber's assistant, hoping that they could help bid for this diamond."
All the tycoons present were a little tempted.
