"You can't agree to this kind of thing. If a precedent is set, how can we operate in the future? The company is not a charity, we need to make a profit." said the fat old man who was still at the beginning.

The others nodded deeply.

At this time, no one was dozing off any longer.

Things are a bit tricky, and they really need to discuss the board of directors to come to a conclusion. Stede cannot make a decision on such matters.

Related to hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.

"Yes, we can't charge the seller's commission, but we must not pay the buyer's commission. As compensation for him, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, which is already a lot. They are so greedy!" said another shareholder.

It caused everyone's nodding again.

The Chinese are so greedy.

"Everyone, I know everyone's mood. It's hard for me to accept such conditions. However, under the current circumstances, we don't seem to have any solutions except for agreeing. Once the other party withdraws the shooting, we will lose a large number of top-quality customers, and they are all heading for this diamond. In addition, our reputation will also be severely hit..." The matter was very clear.

Before, Davidson was also unacceptable and was blackmailed by a Chinese little figure with no background, which was unacceptable to anyone.

When he saw the information and pictures passed by Robles, he suppressed his anger and thought seriously. After taking over Sotheby's, he was thinking about letting Sotheby's go further.

Sotheby's has opened a branch in China. Every year, the nouveau riche or speculators in China create a lot of profits for them. Instinctively, Davidson looks down on the riches in China who have no artistic cells. Many rich people in China participate in the auction, on the one hand to show their financial resources, and on the other hand to hype, artworks, gems, and other prices are all hyped up by the nouveau riche in China.

In other words, with the participation of nouveau riche like China, the auction market has shrunk after being popular for some years. Because the prices of various artworks have been speculated too high...

The emergence of the Chinese Star has given Sotheby's, who is in danger, see hope.

Of course, the source of this diamond is inevitable, and the owner of Qian Yiduo is inevitable.

No matter how much Sotheby's cost, if you spend too much money, it seems like an ordinary person, and the source of this diamond cannot appear at all.

It was not until the last few days that there was news that there is a private diamond mine in China that has a high quality...

As for fraud?

Davidson had thought that this might be a fraud, but if the fraud was done, would people dare to ask them to hold a single auction? Moreover, they still require three major diamond appraisal agencies to conduct the appraisal.

The impact and profits of this diamond auction alone are incomparable to any previous auction of Sotheby's.

The colored diamonds in the world are rare, and even smaller. Every time one appears, it will shock the whole world. The auction price is sky-high. No auction house can collect so many diamonds for a special auction.

Sotheby's, cannot refuse such a business.

"In addition, there is a piece of information here. Everyone can take a look. It is also something in the other party's hands..." After Davidson Taoberman finished speaking, he signaled his assistant to send the information to the directors.

"No, this is impossible! How could they have so many top-quality diamonds in their hands!" After the fat bald old man quickly read it, he looked disbelief, "It must be them who made the fraud to force us to accept the conditions!"

"Yes, colored diamonds are rare, and any one will be auctioned for a sky-high price..." The other directors found it incredible.

"Lauen, this information contains appraisal certificates from the Chinese appraisal agency. Before that, I personally called to confirm it." Davis was still calm.

But the excitement in my heart was not shown.

"We can't miss this opportunity! Diamond auction will become a legend! It will push us Sotheby's to the top, and no one can surpass it!" Lawn suddenly roared.

"Yes, we must win this business, and we cannot let Christie's and Philip know anything before reaching an agreement!"

"We must win this special auction at all costs!"

“…”

The other directors became a little excited.

The smallest of these colored diamonds are more than 50 carats, and the large ones are even more than 500 carats!

Even if the average auction price of one is 20 million US dollars, they only charge a 10% commission from the buyer, which will be a very huge number.

They have never been afraid that there are too few rich people in this world, but they have never been worried that they do not have enough attractive auction items to satisfy these rich people.

Diamonds are not just the kind that De Beers promotes represent eternal love, but represent rights and wealth!

Didn't you see that the Queen of England's crown and scepter were inlaid with diamonds?

"According to our speculation, the other party is likely to be the Huaxia Star that was thrown out for this diamond auction. This will be more attractive and shocking! So, dear directors, I hope to listen to everyone's opinions, do we agree with the other party's conditions?" Seeing everyone, everyone was excited and wanted to take over this business, and spoke up.

The Chairman's words made everyone wake up from the fanatic state.

They are all people who have been working hard in the business world for many years and know that if they want to get it, they have to make a contribution.

Seeing a little curve appearing on the corner of Davidson's mouth, Old Man Lawn's original words were taken back when he reached his mouth. Then, his eyes turned and he said to Davidson, "Davis, do you have any suggestions?"

Everyone else looked at Davidson, and the expressions on his face were extremely anticipated.

"I decided to go to Xiangjiang in person to talk to our customers. No matter what, we should win this special auction!" Davidson's suggestion was simple.

"No, we should take it at any cost, even if there is only a small profit." Lawn said firmly.

"Yes, do whatever it takes!" The same is true for other shareholders.

In the entire meeting, Stede, as Sotheby's Global Executive President, had almost no say, but he was not dissatisfied.

Davidson's ability is not worse than him. Although he is nearly twenty years younger than him, his vision is even more savvy than him.

The meeting ended quickly. In less than an hour, a special plane took off from New York Kennedy Airport. The board of directors of the destination, Xiangjs Forbes, did not show the results that Robles expected, but being able to get the news so quickly made him extremely happy.

Time has pointed to 10 o'clock, but for Xiangjiang, a modern international financial center, this place is just the beginning of the night.

In order to prevent Li Rui and Qian Yiduo from contacting other purchasing customers, Davis returned to Four Seasons Hotel again after calling and reporting. He almost refused his invitation to have dinner at the Michelin three-star French cuisine caprce restaurant.

Finally, Long Jingxuan, who also chose Cantonese cuisine at a Michelin three-star restaurant, was also rejected.

When you have too much money, you are not picky about eating. If you have such time, it is better to study for a while; while Li Rui is very pretentious and says that the Cantonese cuisine made in Michelin’s three-star restaurant has lost its original taste...

In the end, Davis actually ate takeaway in the room with the two!

Such behavior caused the hotel manager to think that their service was not good enough...

"Mr. Robles, has your headquarters responded?" Seeing Robles coming over with a smile on his face, Li Rui asked calmly, "If there is no result, I think Mr. Robles should go home, or go to a nightclub for a drink..."

"No, Li, you can't drive me away like this. When we were drinking just now, didn't we all say that we had become friends? I still want to talk to you at night..." Robles was a little drunk.

Li Rui's mouth twitched, staring at the computer while staring at the side and ignored the amount of money they had on their side, and said to Roberts, "You know what we mean. If there is no satisfactory reply, there is no meaning to waste this way."

Both of them knew about Robles' purpose.

Now we have to talk about the serious matters. Li Rui's phone kept ringing, but he had promised before that he did not answer any calls.

Seeing that Li Rui was on the spot, Roberts became serious and was not drunk at all. "Li, the company's board of directors agreed to your conditions. However, this is not without conditions..."

Li Rui was surprised when he heard the other party agree.

But then when I heard that there was conditions, I became serious and my ears sounded.

Even if the money on the side is more than one, my ears will be pricked up at this time. If the other party’s conditions are too excessive, how much time will it take for them?

Everything is ready, just waiting for the money!

"Our Chairman Mr. Davidson Tauberman and the Global Executive President Mr. Stede have a special plane and come to the sky. They hope to come and have an interview about the subsequent special auction of diamonds in your hands..." Robles said the conditions seriously.

"What benefits can we get?" Li Rui did not answer directly, nor did he ask about the money, but asked directly, "You know, such an auction special has huge benefits for any auction house, whether it is commission or reputation."

Robles' heart sank.

The Chinese in front of him acted gentle and kind, but his greed even exceeded anyone he had contacted.

He even felt that this cooperation is likely to be a big price.
