Xiao Yunhai put down the phone and looked at Zhao Wanqing, who had just walked over, and said, "Honey, I'm sorry."
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "It's okay. Business is more important. I'm already very happy that you've been with me for so long. When do you plan to go back? "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to the Marvel Comics auction tomorrow morning. If everything goes well, I'll fly back tomorrow night. "
A while ago, Xiao Yunhai had contacted the boss of Marvel Comics, Reinus, and wanted to take over his company in private. Unfortunately, Reinus put forward a condition. Unless Xiao Yunhai could lend him another ten billion US dollars, he would not sell the company to him at its current market value.
Xiao Yunhai immediately refused. What a joke. Reinus's business was in an economic crisis, and the bank was pressing for debt every day. If it could not survive, Xiao Yunhai's ten billion US dollars would be gone.
Since the negotiation failed, Xiao Yunhai had to go to the auction.
Zhao Wanqing asked, "Do you need me to go with you?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "You can rest at home and take care of the baby. I can handle it."
Zhao Wanqing giggled and said, "Do you think I'm worried about you? I'm worried about the money for my son and daughter's milk powder. What if you get excited and spend 200 yuan on something that costs 100 yuan? Wouldn't that be a loss? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "My composure is not something that ordinary people can compare to. What's more, I've already set the highest price for it in my heart. If it's higher than this price, I won't buy it even if you beat me to death. "
At nine o 'clock the next morning, Xiao Yunhai went to the Christie's auction house next to Oscar Boulevard.
"Hey, Xiao, long time no see."
As soon as he walked in, Xiao Yunhai heard a familiar voice.
He turned around and saw that it was Kree.
After the two hugged, Kree asked, "Xiao, let me guess. Are you interested in Marvel Comics?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Of course not. I heard that there is a diamond called the Heart of Hope, which weighs about 46.52 carats. You know that I haven't bought anything for Wan Qing since we got married, so I want to give her a surprise. "
Xiao Yunhai didn't lie to him. Besides Marvel, he was also very interested in this diamond.
Three days ago, Christie's Auction House had sent Xiao Yunhai a catalog of items. Among them, Marvel Comics was the last to appear, and this Heart of Hope was the third from the bottom. As for Marvel, Xiao Yunhai was not determined to get it. If the price exceeded his bottom line, even if it was one dollar, he would immediately give up.
However, he couldn't get the Heart of Hope because when Zhao Wanqing looked at the auction catalog, her eyes stayed on this page for the longest time, and there was even a hint of intoxication in her eyes.
Although Zhao Wanqing didn't say anything, Xiao Yunhai could see that she really liked this diamond.
Therefore, Xiao Yunhai decided to buy it for his wife, no matter how much money he had to spend.
Kree smiled and said, "This diamond is not cheap. Look around, aren't there quite a few beautiful ladies following their husbands over here? Let me tell you, they are all here for this Star of Hope. You know, this is a good thing that has been passed down for hundreds of years. "
Xiao Yunhai looked around, and sure enough, he found that those rich men basically had a woman by their side, and all of them were dressed gorgeously. If they were really here for this diamond, they would probably have to fight with them.
"Kree, how much do you think this diamond can be sold for?"
Kree thought for a moment and said, "A while ago, a 41.27-carat diamond was sold at the Yatai Auction House for 398 million dollars. This Star of Hope is heavier and more famous. I think it will be difficult to get it without 500 million dollars. Xiao, do you really want it? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course. No matter how much it costs, I will buy it because Wan Qing likes it very much. "
Kree gave a thumbs up and said, "Xiao, Hua Xia has a saying, 'Get angry for a beauty'. In order to give your wife a surprise, you are willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars. I admire you so much. Let me tell you a secret. Although these people are here, there are only a few rich people who are willing to spend so much money for their wives. Later, as long as you act domineering, no one will dare to compete with you. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Really?"
Kree smiled and said, "Trust me, it's definitely true. These rich people can spend a lot of money for their mistresses, but they will never buy it for their wives. This is like fishing. The wife is the fish that has already taken the bait, and the mistress is the fish that has not yet taken the bait. Who do you think the fisherman will give the bait to? Of course, there are still people like you who are infatuated, but there are definitely not many of them. "
Xiao Yunhai patted Kree's shoulder and said, "Maybe you are right. Kree, are you here for Marvel? "
Kree nodded and said, "Of course. Not only is our MGM Grand interested, but the other Hollywood entertainment companies are also here. Look, isn't that Thomas and his uncle, Angus, who were cheated by you to get Magic Visual Effects? "
Xiao Yunhai looked in the direction of his finger. Sure enough, Thomas was chatting with a young man.
He seemed to feel Xiao Yunhai's gaze and looked in Xiao Yunhai's direction. His face suddenly became much uglier.
Speaking of which, Xiao Yunhai should thank Thomas properly. This was because the starting point for him to develop to where he was today was Magic Visual Effects.
Without it, although Xiao Yunhai could still develop, the speed would definitely not be so fast.
"Xiao, are you really not interested in Marvel? Based on my understanding of you, I'm afraid that's a little impossible, right? "
Kree had also read the magazine 'World Monthly' and knew that this good brother in front of him was a rich man sitting on 170 billion USD. It would not be difficult for him to buy Marvel Comics.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "If the price you offer is below my bottom line, then I will definitely not let it go. After all, I'm still very optimistic about superheroes like Thor, Spiderman, and Batman. "
Kree snorted and said unhappily, "I knew that you would definitely come this time to compete with our MGM Grand for Marvel."
As the two chatted, more and more rich people walked into the auction house. Among them, many people took the initiative to come to Xiao Yunhai and get to know each other.
At 10 o 'clock sharp, the auction officially began.
The host of this auction was a young man in his thirties. He was slender and handsome, and many rich women's eyes lit up when they saw him.
He wore a pair of white gloves on his hands and spoke with great passion. It was very infectious.
In just a short hour, more than 20 auction items were bought by rich people at high prices.
