The South Korean young master brought his female companion to the backstage trading area.
According to the rules, he had to come over to collect the fees for each auction.
The other bidders would either ask their assistants or simply come over to deduct the fees, or they would come after the auction was over.
Only the South Korean young master came personally to collect the fees. He also came to find out if the diamond was really bought by someone or if it was a scheme by the organizers.
The 1.1 billion USD transaction price was too terrifying. It was not that he did not trust rich people, but the richer they were, the more rational they would be. He did not believe that if it was not a marketing scheme by the organizers, there would not be so many people competing for the diamond. Even if they were looking for a scammer, it would not be so obvious, right?
First of all, this product wasn't a heavyweight item tonight. Its base price was there, and it didn't have much collectible value. Yet, during the auction, it was as though it was the finale of the auction. If one didn't know better, they might have thought that Van Gogh's rare original arts were being auctioned off. Otherwise, why would there be such a frenzy?
Backstage …
The South Korean young master met the Russian tycoon.
At this moment, the competitors who were bidding with the tycoon just now actually came over to greet him.
"Viktor, congratulations."
The Russian tycoon shook hands with him humbly. They knew each other from the same circle. He smiled and said, "Thank you for letting it go."
"No, it's because you're bold. Tell me honestly, can this 1.1 billion get you the membership you want?"
The Russian tycoon smiled bitterly. "I don't know either."
He said honestly, "I can only bet on how much Mr. Haber likes it, but I'm afraid I don't even have the right to meet Mr. Haber."
The few bidders nodded. "We heard that too. It's just that his assistant is looking for this diamond. As for whether Mr. Haber himself wants it, we don't know. If it's Mr. Haber who wants it, I won't hold back and let you bid for it."
"If it's really just Haber's assistant who wants it, then this diamond of yours will be a huge loss."
The Russian tycoon nodded. "It's equivalent to two years of my company's revenue."
The others laughed and shook hands with him. "Good luck."
Churchill: "Thank you."
At that moment, the South Korean Young Master walked over. When he saw that they were still here to congratulate this fool, he couldn't help but add in English, "The market analysis shows that this diamond is worth 250 to 300 million USD. Even if it appreciates in the future, it will definitely not rise to 500 million! Also, I don't know how long it will take to ferment in the future, so I'll take the liberty to say that if you're not someone from this auction house, then there must be something wrong with your brain. "
Churchill just smiled and ignored the man.
The other bidders looked at this South Korean young master and couldn't help but mock him. "We can't be sure if this diamond is worth 1.1 billion yet. It all depends on whether the person who likes it is Haber. If he is, then it's worth 3 billion! If not, it's only worth 300 million! "
When the South Korean young master heard Haber's name, he was taken aback. "What did you say?"
Another rich bidder sneered at him and asked, "Don't you know why so many people are bidding for this diamond all of a sudden?"
Looking at the confused look in the Korean young master's eyes, the others smiled even more and couldn't help but tease him. "More than ten minutes ago, Haber's assistant suddenly asked for help from a local capital company in England, hoping to bid for this diamond through them."
The South Korean young master: "Then what if the owner of this stone is Haber? Aren't you all being fooled? "
Someone scoffed. "With Mr. Haber's status, is there a need for him to do this? Is there a need for him to use such methods to make money for this little bit of money? As long as he needs it, those tycoons can spend billions to get a membership. "
"Membership?" The South Korean young master didn't quite understand. "What membership?"
"Hahahahaha." The other tycoons all burst into laughter.
"Alright, he's just a nouveau riche who doesn't understand the market because his family is rich. Ignore him." The Russian tycoon, Churchill, took out his card and settled the bill with the staff.
"Nouveau riche? Are you insulting a nouveau riche? Is he considered a nouveau riche in our eyes with this little bit of money? Hahahaha, looks like he's from a tiny country, right? What an arrogant nation. "
After the group of people finished speaking, the South Korean young master's face turned green and white. It was very ugly.
"You better apologize to me!" the South Korean young master said in a deep voice.
"Is it that in your eyes, only your family is rich, and everyone else is poor? Are those who are richer than you all idiots?" After the Russian tycoon finished swiping his card, he took the diamond box and walked to the young master with his bodyguards. He didn't forget to mock him. "Go back and ask your father. Of course, the prerequisite is that he can really enter the circle of the world's tycoons. Ask him how much the membership Haber can give is worth."
At that moment, the Russian tycoon's secretary quickly ran over and said to his boss agitatedly, "Boss! Quick, the phone. It's Mr. Kanorman's phone! "
Kanorman?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened.
Haber's secretary, Kanorman.
The tycoons who were about to leave stopped and came closer.
The Russian tycoon quickly took the phone and picked it up nervously.
"I'm Churchill."
"I'm Kanorman. Mr. Churchill, may I ask, are you the owner who won the bid for the Taylor Burton?"
Churchill: "Yes, yes, it's me! I've already paid the bill. The box is in my hands now, and I own it! "
Kanorman: "It's like this. Actually, this diamond is something that Mr. Haber likes very much. He needs it tonight. Can we talk?"
"Of course!" Churchill was so excited that his voice became louder. "Of course, I'm honored, Mr. Kanorman."
Kanorman: "Very good. Mr. Haber wants to see it and get it now. He wants to meet you."
"Mr. Haber wants to meet me?" Churchill was so excited that he almost couldn't speak coherently.
The surrounding tycoons who heard this all widened their eyes and looked at Churchill enviously.
"Yes. Is it inconvenient for you?"
"Yes!" Churchill quickly said, "I'm available anytime. I'll see your arrangements, anytime. Really, Mr. Kanorman."
Kanorman: "We've already asked the people at the auction house. 1.1 billion USD, right? Mr. Haber will give you 1.2 billion! "
"No need!" Churchill's breathing quickened. If he really accepted this money, he wouldn't be able to achieve his goal. Therefore, he quickly said, "It's a gift for Mr. Haber. No need for money!"
The South Korean young master who heard this rolled his eyes and couldn't help but say contemptuously, "He's so stupid that he's giving away something worth 1.1 billion USD just like that."
The female partner that he wanted to woo already didn't like him and mocked him. "Then why don't you give it to me?"
