Chapter 1,367 Meeting an acquaintance again
…
After sending the waiter away, Liu Dong passed back the coat he took off.
"Boss, are you going to attend the Christie's auction?"
"That's right! There's nothing wrong with staying in the room anyway. You might as well go for a walk."
Moreover, Golconda's diamonds have always been famous for their perfect color and cleanliness. If the weight exceeds one hundred carats, such a diamond will undoubtedly leave its own name in the history of world diamonds. Such a precious natural Miracle, Liu Dong is very interested in turning it into the 8th national treasure diamond over 100 carats in the Yuanmingyuan Diamond Museum!
"Do you need me to go with you?"
"No need! You go out and buy an off-road vehicle, replenish some supplies, and prepare. Maybe we will leave here in a few days!"
This time, Liu Dong came not for tourism, but for the relics of Buddha Sakyamuni. Therefore, the major Buddhist temples in India were his real purpose.
"Got it, boss!"
"Let's go!"
After the two of them walked out of the room, they separated when they arrived at the lobby! Rody went out to prepare the vehicles and supplies needed for the long trip, while Liu Dong found out where the auction was being held and found it himself.
"Sir, please show me your invitation letter!"
When Liu Dong walked to the door of the auction house, he was blocked by the staff as expected.
Although the four strong white men standing in front of the door combined were no match for him with one hand, Liu Dongke had no idea of forcing his way in.
Without him, I wouldn’t be guilty!
"My name is Liu Dong. Tell this name to the person in charge of Christie's in India. I think he will teach you what to do next!"
Listening to the plain words of the young yellow man opposite, Grande, who was standing in front of the door, was stunned for a moment, and thoughts such as "This man is sick, who does he think he is" flashed through his mind.
But being sent to the door by Christie's to greet the powerful and wealthy businessmen who came here to participate in the auction, Grande is naturally not a fool who doesn't understand anything.
After carefully looking up and down at the tall young man in front of him, Grande quickly noticed the unusual aura of a superior person in him, and he could tell from the way he was dressed. Young people are extraordinary.
Therefore, although the other party's words made him feel a little ridiculous, Grande did not say anything rude. Moreover, the name Liu Dong always made him feel familiar.
"Please wait a moment!"
After speaking politely, Grande quickly took out a black Nokia mobile phone from his pocket and quickly made the call.
"Mr. Flack...!"
"Grand, you know I hate it when people make private calls at work!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Frank, I have a gentleman here who calls himself 'Liu Dong' who wants to participate in the auction we are holding tonight at the Hot Spring Hotel!"
"Does he have an invitation?" Frank's tone was somewhat routine.
"No!"
"No? Grande, don't tell me that you have worked at Christie's for 7 years and you don't know what to do when you encounter this kind of situation! Bang...!"
Listening to the blind tone on the phone, Grande had a bit of a wry smile on his face. But when he turned to face Liu Dong, his expression returned to calm.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu! I'm afraid I can't let you participate in this auction...!"
As soon as Grande finished speaking, the cell phone he had just put in his pocket rang again.
"Mr. Frank, I have listened to your order and asked Mr. Liu Dong to leave...!"
"Oh, no, Grande, listen to me! No matter what, you can't let the other party go, no matter what method you use. Of course, the premise is that you must respect the other party, no, respect the other party. I will go there...
!”
"Hey, Mr. Frank, Mr. Frank...?"
Listening to the blind tone of the phone, Grande, who was holding the phone in his hand, looked at the yellow-skinned young man in front of him with a leisurely look and a slight smile on his face. He couldn't help showing surprise and scrutiny on his face.
This was the first time that Frank, who was the manager of Christie's India branch, looked so excited and even a little panicked after hearing a person's name.
"Can I go in now?"
"Oh, oh, of course, of course...!" Grande responded repeatedly, "Mr. Liu, could you please wait a moment? Our manager is on his way here, and he hopes to receive you in person!"
Seeing the respectful but nervous look on the middle-aged white man's face and the expectant look in his eyes, Liu Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't want to miss the grand finale of the Golconda diamond at the auction!"
"Don't worry, the auction has just started now. The finale of the Golconda diamond 'Crystal Heart' will not be auctioned for another two hours, so you have plenty of time!"
"Oh well!"
"Please follow me to the VIP room to take a rest. Our manager will be there in a moment!"
"I'm already here!" Following the rapid voice, a slightly fat middle-aged man wearing a black suit, brown hair, blue eyes, and white skin strode towards Liu with a young secretary behind him.
Dong walked over. Moreover, when he was five or six meters away, he already extended his right hand, "Mr. Liu, I didn't expect you to be here. Welcome, welcome!"
"You're welcome, but I don't know what to call you?" Liu Dong said after briefly shaking hands with the other party.
"My name is Ross Frank, I am the manager of the Indian branch of Christie's auction house. I am very happy to meet Mr. Liu here!"
Frank kept his posture very low. Of course, lowering his posture was inevitable because he knew exactly who the person standing in front of him was!
The world's richest man, Xinke, has a personal fortune of close to 90 billion US dollars and assets under his control of more than 350 billion US dollars! Hanhua Group was rated as one of the world's 30 most influential conglomerates by the Wall Street Journal, second only to Japan's established conglomerates in Asia.
Mitsui, Mitsubishi, and the rising star 'Mitsuwa' have surpassed Sumitomo, Furong and Daiichi Quanye!
A person who controls such huge assets has a social status that even exceeds that of the national leaders of most countries in the world. No matter where he goes, he is the guest of dignitaries and powerful families from all over the world.
More importantly, the person who holds such power is "Frank Ross", a "god"-level figure that a small manager of Christie's India branch does not dare to offend and even looks up to.
"Mr. Frank, I am also very happy to meet you. But now I want to participate in the auction even more!" Liu Dong said.
"Of course, your request is the purpose of our service! Please follow me!"
After nodding, Liu Dong followed the other party into the auction hall.
At this moment, Grande, who was standing aside, looked at Ross Frank, who he thought was aloof and full of the pride of an old English gentleman. At this moment, he was like the lowest servant in a medieval aristocratic family, respectful, and even a little...
He humbly guided the young man named Liu into the auction hall, his eyes full of disbelief!
However, he also understood one thing through this incident. The social status of the yellow-skinned young man who called himself Liu Dong was much higher than he imagined.
"Liu Dong, Liu Dong, it sounds like a Chinese name! But is there such a person among Chinese celebrities?" Grande, who usually doesn't pay much attention to news in newspapers, slowly began to have doubts in his mind.
Not to mention the confusion in Grande's heart.
At this moment, after Ross Frank personally led Liu Dong into the auction hall, he attracted more and more people's attention.
Especially now, after being reprinted and reported by Time Magazine, Forbes Magazine, and countless media around the world, Liu Dong's name and appearance are almost engraved in the minds of 90% of the world's rich and powerful. Even if they have never
I have never seen the new world's richest man. Even though all Chinese people look the same in the minds of white people, black people, and even Indians, they still have fresh memories of Liu Dong's appearance.
Therefore, when we saw the new world's richest man, who was so young, slowly approaching, the commotion in the hall became more and more intense. At one point, even the auction on the stage had to be paused.
"Mr. Liu, how about we prepare a separate table for you?"
Seeing that the eight round tables next to the auction table were basically filled with wealthy people participating in the auction, Ross Frank frowned and said quickly.
"Don't bother me, just give me a free seat!" After saying that, Liu Dong walked a few steps to the left, and then sat down on the only empty seat next to the round table where only two people were sitting!
"You two, do you mind if I sit here?" Looking at the two familiar faces in front of him, Liu Dong smiled.
He also didn't expect that he and the other party would meet again in New Delhi just a few months after they were separated! Thinking of this, Liu Dong felt quite amazed at the wonders of the world!
"Of course I don't mind. It's an honor for us to sit at the same table with the famous Mr. Liu Dong!" Said Abdullah smiled.
He did not recognize the new world's richest man in front of him at all. He was the powerful 'Munios' whom he had spent a few days with in Egypt a few months ago and broke into the sacrificial city 'Herakpus' together.
!
"Mr. Liu, have we met somewhere?" Nancy Abdullah suddenly asked after looking at Liu Dong up and down for a while.
"We have indeed met?" Liu Dong smiled slightly.
I sigh in my heart that women are far better at observing details than most men.
"Oh, where is it?" Nancy's eyes lit up and she asked quickly.
"At Columbia University! I was doing a boxing match for the martial arts club! You seemed to be right next to me!"
Liu Dong's words brought a hint of realization to Nancy's face, "I remembered! You are Zhao Jing's friend!"
"To be precise, I am his boyfriend's friend!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"It seems that we are quite destined, and we meet here again!" As she said that, Nancy stretched out her white palm towards Liu Dong.
“It’s indeed a fate!”
Liu Dong was not rude to the beautiful lady. He took hold of her soft little hand and shook it briefly before letting go.
"I didn't expect you two to actually know each other. This is really unexpected and surprising news!" Said looked back and forth between his sister and Liu Dong with a strange look in his eyes, and then suddenly laughed.
"If it weren't for this chance encounter, I probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to sit here!"
"Mr. Liu, this is your bidding card!" At this time, Ross Frank hurried over with a bidding card numbered 188 in his hand.
"I understand, thank you!"
After seeing that there was no anger in Liu Dong's expression, Frank breathed a sigh of relief.
Because Liu Dong arrived so suddenly, he really didn’t have a higher bidding card in his hand!
"Then I won't disturb you. If you need anything, you can call me at any time! I'll sit next to you!"
Following the direction of Frank's finger, Liu Dong glanced at a chair next to the wall opposite, and nodded, "I understand, thank you Frank!"
"Mr. Liu, you're too polite! If you're okay, I'll leave first!"
"Well, it's okay!" After waving his hand and letting Frank leave, he quickly glanced at the Abdul brothers and sisters beside him. Facing the trace of thought that had not disappeared on Nancy's face, he smiled slightly and focused.
