Weiss had just driven home when the butler handed Weiss a black and gold card. Weiss asked.
“What is this?”
The butler explained.
“This is an invitation letter from the Great Metropolitan Auction House. Tonight is the annual auction of the Great Metropolitan Auction House. It is also a channel for the elites of the business world to communicate. When the people at the auction knew of Sir’s identity, they sent someone to deliver a letter.”
Weiss scratched his head. ‘I’ve never been to a place like this before. Would it be a bit of trouble?’
However, he didn’t get a gift for Elena yet, so he could take a look.
Weiss took the invitation and arranged for the butler to pick Alice up.
They were on their way downtown. On the way, Weiss noticed a black Cadillac that had been following him. If he wanted to get rid of them on the spot.
Weiss couldn’t help but feel irritated. Could it be that his killing of Dale had been discovered? He waited, hoping it wasn’t what he thought. He didn’t have the capital to compete with that organization, so he naturally didn’t want them to know.
After waiting for a moment and seeing that they did not make any unnecessary movements, he felt relieved and drove to the entrance of the Metropolitan Auction House. At this time, hundreds of luxury cars had already stopped at the entrance. There were strict security checks at the entrance to ensure the safety of every participant.
Weiss parked the car, handed over the invitation and entered inside the auction house. By now it was filled with people of all shapes and sizes, most of them wearing fancy suits, raising their glasses and pushing their glasses. Everyone had noticed Weiss at the door and a few well-dressed young men talked about him.
“Do you know who he is?” A young man who looked sloppy asked mysteriously.
“Of course. Isn’t he the chairman of Changhong Group?” Another young man said arrogantly.
“He dared to take such a huge risk to take over the Changhong Group. He’s really not afraid of death.” As he spoke, he held his wine glass and walked towards Whis.
Weiss, of course, heard his words but he didn’t care. He was destined to be hostile with that organization anyway, so he didn’t care about their feelings.
The young man brought people over and greeted them with a smile.
“Hello, Mr. Weiss, I have long heard of your great name. I wonder if I can have a drink with you.”
Weiss naturally wouldn’t decline and started chatting with that group of people.
“I am a member of the Gus family, Lea. Where are you from?”
In those people’s eyes, the person who could take down such a big company must not be a nobody.
Weiss replied.
“I’m just an ordinary person with no background.”
When the others heard this, they were a little dissatisfied but on the surface, they still agreed with Whis.
“Mr. Weiss, do you know what treasures are worth paying attention to at the auction?”
As he said that, one of the Young Masters handed over a narrow register with a list of treasures that were being auctioned.
Among them, the most noteworthy was the blue gem that was worth 100 million. The “Heart of the Ocean” blue diamond had bright blue diamonds. It was a rare treasure. There were only a few large ones in the world and the “Hope” diamond was one of them.
Weiss knew she’d be thrilled if he bought it and gave it to Elena. But what if he didn’t have that much money?
Weiss walked to the side and called Liu Qing to ask how much money the company had now.
Liu Qing quickly replied.
“Chairman, the company’s finances are a little tight right now. We only have 200 million in cash. If you want to use it, I’ll send it to you right now.”
Weiss bid farewell to the group of Young Masters and went to the toilet.
After Weiss sent the card number to Liu Qing, he thought about it again. He still had some things that he might need to buy. It was still not enough. He would draw a few more prizes.
