"It's a friend of the Fourth Wife. He just gave me this business card and said that Bonadette will hold a private charity auction and asked me if I want to participate..."
Zhuang Rui has come into contact with many rich people, but he has never met anyone at Bonadette's level. I guess the items he put up for auction will not be too bad, right?
When Huangfu Yun heard this, he quickly said: "Of course I want to participate, Zhuang Rui, there is no harm in making friends with this kind of person, and Bonadette's collection is very rich, maybe there are some treasures from China in it.
…”
"Nonsense, can his collection be smaller?"
Zhuang Rui rolled his eyes when he heard that. At that time, all the treasures in Europe were robbed by the Nazis, and old Bernadette directly turned these things into his private collection. In addition to gold and other internationally accepted precious metals, he used them for company development.
In addition, those antiques and curios have been handed down.
"No... no, the collections you mentioned are all from Europe. I mean, old Bernadette's father was once a U.S. commander in the Eight-Nation Allied Forces. They also plundered a lot of things from China.
Wealth, I have seen the Longquan sword used by Emperor Qianlong in his manor before..."
Huangfu Yun collects ancient swords and antiques and is very interested in these things. However, he also knows that with his own ability, it is impossible to buy anything from Bonadette. This is not determined by money.
The thing is, the identities between the two are really far apart.
"Damn, why are the ancestors of wealthy people abroad all robbers?"
Zhuang Rui cursed when he heard this, why are Chinese objects so attractive? From France to the United Kingdom to the United States, it seems that the ancestors of every collecting family have an indissoluble bond with China. Of course, as a Chinese, Zhuang Rui
Rui is very disgusted with these actions.
However, Zhuang Rui couldn't say anything about these historical issues. A weak country will be bullied. Now that he has the ability, he can only buy as many Chinese antiques as possible and let them return to the country so that the Chinese people can
See the history and civilization left by our ancestors.
"Zhuang Rui, are you going?" Huangfu Yun asked from the side.
"Of course I want to go. Anyway, the money I won this time belongs to the United States, so just think of it as charity for the American people..."
Zhuang Rui nodded and was worried about how to spend the seven to eight billion US dollars. If he came across something good at a charity auction, he would just snap it up and take it home. This is the most lavish way to spend the money won from gambling.
"Hey, brother, if I come across any good swords, you have to buy them for me..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Huangfu Yun's eyes suddenly shone. These four or five years have passed, and he has never forgotten the Longquan sword hung in Bonadette's office.
"Don't worry, as long as you like it, buy it all. I have plenty of money..."
Zhuang Rui puffed up his chest and tried very hard to look like a nouveau riche. But then again, in just three or four years, he had accumulated billions of dollars in assets. Zhuang Rui was among those generations of nobles.
In his eyes, he is really a nouveau riche.
Los Angeles is a city located in southern California on the West Coast of the United States. Ranked by population, Los Angeles is the largest city in California and the second largest city in the United States, second only to New York. It is one of the world's centers of culture, science, technology, international trade and higher education.
First, it also has world-renowned institutions in various professional and cultural fields.
In 1781, Los Angeles became a Spanish colony. In 1818, Americans arrived here for the first time. In 1821, Los Angeles belonged to Mexico. In 1846, after Mexico failed in the U.S.-Mexican War, California was ceded to the United States, and Los Angeles became a U.S. territory.
Today, Los Angeles has become the largest base for the petrochemical, marine, aerospace and electronic industries in the United States. Of course, the most well-known Los Angeles is Hollywood, the "Kingdom of Movies". Since the first movie studio was established here in 1911
After the establishment of the company, it quickly became the world's film center. Stars gathered, great films continued, and Hollywood led the direction of global film entertainment.
There is also the famous Disneyland. If you want to enjoy all the entertainment projects here, you will need at least one and a half to three days. Each program is thrilling and brings you unexpected and endless surprises.
Zhuang Rui's private plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport at noon the day after the gambling. When the plane stabilized, two black bulletproof Mercedes-Benz cars parked next to the plane.
It is not an easy thing to participate in Bonadette's private charity auction. After Zhuang Rui decided to participate, the fourth wife personally called Bonadette and sent a fax to confirm Zhuang Rui's identity and itinerary.
, and everything after arriving in Los Angeles will be arranged by Bonadette.
The top businessmen in the United States have a very keen sense of politics. Perhaps it is Zhuang Rui's special background in China that aroused Bonadette's interest. Today's reception standards are also particularly high, hosted by Dan, Bonadette's personal senior assistant.
Ni Canto came to pick him up. After Zhuang Rui and others got on the bus, the two Mercedes-Benz cars drove directly to the arranged hotel.
Sitting in the Mercedes-Benz, Danny turned around and said to Zhuang Rui in Chinese: "Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Bonadette asked me to apologize to you. Due to many things, he was unable to come to the airport to pick you up in person. I hope he can
I will personally apologize to you at the dinner tonight..."
"Huh? Mr. Danny, Mr. Bonadette is too polite. Please convey my respect to him..."
Zhuang Rui smiled and said something diplomatic, and then asked a little strangely: "Mr. Danny, where did you learn your Chinese? It's very standard..."
Generally, foreigners in China can basically speak a few words of Chinese, but abroad, the chance of meeting a foreigner who can speak Chinese is very small.
"Haha, I studied at Beijing University in your country. I returned to the United States eight years ago, but I like that mysterious Eastern country..."
Danny's words made Zhuang Rui feel a little shocked. This is the way of the real super rich. They can consider the details for guests from any country. In just one night, they can send out guests according to their status.
For the most suitable receptionist, it is conceivable that behind Bonadette, there must be an organization dedicated to serving him.
"Mr. Zhuang, there is the famous Sunset Boulevard, which is also the Avenue of Celebrities. It has the signatures and fingerprints of many film and television stars. By the way, China's Jackie Chan left his fingerprints on it..."
Danny was very talkative and introduced Zhuang Rui to the sights and attractions of Los Angeles along the way. From Danny's words, Zhuang Rui also understood Bonadette's true intention of holding this private charity auction today.
All proceeds from this private charity auction will be used to treat leukemia patients at a leukemia foundation under Bonadette. This is a global foundation with branches in various countries around the world.
In order to expand the influence of the foundation and allow more people to participate in charity, Bonadette has invited celebrities from all over the world, such as Li Chaoren from Hong Kong and Mr. He from Macau. By then, these
Although people may not be there in person, they will send assistants to take photos of one or two items as a way of supporting Bonadette's charity.
And this charity auction is not a face-saving project, just randomly bringing out things to fool people. Bonadette has really spent a lot of money and will take out some treasures from his collection of antiques from various countries for this auction.
The car quickly drove to the entrance of the Los Angeles Hilton Hotel. After the doorman opened the door, Danny got out of the car first and paid the tip. Then he took Zhuang Rui in and completed the formalities before sending Zhuang Rui to the Presidential Palace on the 28th floor.
In the suite, he said: "Mr. Zhuang, you have just got off the plane. Take a rest first. I will pick you up at 6:30 in the evening. The dinner will be held at the hotel where you are staying..."
Since this auction invited well-known people from all over the world, the number of people was a bit large, so Bonadette did not hold the dinner and auction at his home, but held it in a hotel. The auction will also be held by professionals.
It’s hosted by people.
"Damn, this guy is here too? It's worth coming this time..."
After Danny left, Zhuang Rui opened a book of information that Danny had brought. On it was a list of some of the people who participated in the charity auction. The first person listed was the current governor of California, USA.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is popular in the world of cinema.
The "Terminator" series of movies is also Zhuang Rui's favorite. Although he is not a star-chasing person, he is still a little excited to see the idol star from his student days.
"It's not surprising. Arnold was able to obtain the throne of governor because the consortium behind Bernadette was actually operating it. Of course he would come to support events like this. Haha, it is indispensable at the rally in Los Angeles.
The faces of these stars..."
Huangfu Yun stretched out his head to look at the list, somewhat disapproving of it. He had a deep understanding of American society and knew that behind these politicians, there was a huge consortium to help them operate. Otherwise, hundreds of millions of voters in each state or even the entire country would
Who would know what you do?
Huangfu Yun suddenly lowered his voice and said in Zhuang Rui's ear: "Hey... Brother, what's the matter, is there a Hollywood female star you like? If you like it tonight, tell your brother and I will help you arrange one...
"
No matter which country they are in, it is the same. These female celebrities will eventually be the playthings of the rich. When they attend such dinner parties, they are actually looking for prey. Of course, it is still very difficult to find young and wealthy ones, who are successful and famous.
