Chapter 1047 – Arrival in Los Angeles
“It’s a friend of Mrs. Four, who just gave me this business card, saying that Bonadette will be organizing a private charity auction, and asking me if I want to participate.”
Zhuang Rui had come into contact with quite a few tycoons, but for people at this level of Bonadette, he had really never encountered them, so I guess the objects he took out for auction wouldn’t be too bad, right?
When Huangfu Yun heard this, he quickly said, “Of course I have to participate, Zhuang Rui, there is no harm in making good 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 small?”
Zhuang Rui heard straight rolled his eyes, at that time the treasures of the whole of Europe were robbed by the Nazis, and the old Bonadette directly turned these things into his private collection, in addition to gold and other international common precious metals used for the development of the company, those antique treasures, can be passed down.
“No …… no, you said those collections are European, I mean, the old Bonadette’s father, used to be when the eight-nation allied forces in a U.S. Army commander, they from China, but also plundered away a lot of wealth, I used to have been in his manor, have seen the Qianlong Emperor used the Longquan Bao Jian .”
Huangfu Yun is a collection of ancient swords and knives type of antiques, for these things are very attached, but he also knows that with his own ability, there is no possibility to buy any items from the hands of Bonadette, this is not something that money can decide, the identity between the two people is really too far apart.
“Damn, how come the ancestors of rich foreigners are all robbers?”
Zhuang Rui sniffed and burst out, how come Chinese objects are so attractive? From France to Britain to the United States, it seems that the ancestors in every collecting family, have an unbreakable bond with China, of course, as a Chinese, Zhuang Rui is very disgusted with these lines.
However, for these historical issues, Zhuang Rui can not say anything, the country is weak is to be bullied, and now they have the ability, can only acquire some Chinese antiques as much as possible, so that it returns to the country, so that the people of China can see the history and civilization of the ancestors left behind.
“Zhuang Rui, so are you still going?” Huangfu Yun asked from the side.
“Of course I’m going, anyway, the money won this time is all from the old US, just think of it as charity for the American people!”
Zhuang Rui nodded, was worried about how to spend this seven or eight hundred million dollars, if he encountered any good things in the charity auction, he would directly shoot down and bring it back to his country to finish it off, this gambling winnings are the most lavishly spent.
“Hey hey, old brother, then if you come across any good swords, you have to help me buy them!”
Huangfu Yun’s eyes were instantly glowing after hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, these four or five years had passed, he had always been nostalgic about the Qianlong Imperial Longquan Sword that was hanging in Bonadette’s office.
“Don’t worry! As long as you look good, buy them all, buddy has plenty of money.”
Zhuang Rui straightened his chest, trying very hard to put on a look of a thug, but then again, in just three or four years, accumulating billions of dollars in assets, Zhuang Rui was really a thug in the eyes of those generations of aristocrats.
Los Angeles is a city located in the southern part of California on the west coast of the U.S. Ranked by population, Los Angeles is the first largest city in California and the second largest city in the U.S. After New York, it is one of the world’s centers of culture, science, technology, international trade and higher education, and also boasts a variety of world-renowned institutions in various professional and cultural fields.
In 1781, Los Angeles became a Spanish colony, in 1818, the Americans first arrived here, in 1821, Los Angeles belonged to Mexico, in 1846, Mexico lost the Mexican-American War, and then ceded California to the United States, Los Angeles became a U.S. territory.
Now Los Angeles, has become the United States petrochemical, marine, aerospace industry and the largest base of the electronics industry, of course, Los Angeles is most familiar with the number of “film kingdom” Hollywood, since the first film company, this place has quickly become the world’s film center. Hollywood has become the center of the world’s movie industry since the first movie studio. With its star-studded roster and a steady stream of great movies, Hollywood has led the way in global movie entertainment.
In addition, there is the famous Disneyland, where you want to play all the entertainment projects, at least a day and a half to three days, each program is thrilling and exciting, to bring people unexpected endless surprises.
Zhuang Rui took the private plane at noon on the second day after the end of the gambling game, landed in the Los Angeles International Airport, when the plane is quite stable, two black bulletproof Mercedes Benz car, parked next to the plane.
Want to participate in Bonadette’s private charity auction, is not a simple thing, in Zhuang Rui decided to participate, the fourth wife personally to Bonadette called, and sent a fax to determine the identity of Zhuang Rui as well as the itinerary, and arrived in Los Angeles after everything, will be Bonadette to arrange.
America’s top businessmen, political sense of smell are very sensitive, perhaps Zhuang Rui in China’s special background caused Bonadette’s interest, today’s reception specifications are also particularly high, by Bonadette’s private senior assistant Danny Cantor to pick up the plane, such as Zhuang Rui and others on the car, two Mercedes-Benz directly to the hotel has been arranged.
Sitting in the Mercedes, Danny turned back to Zhuang Rui and said in Chinese, “Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Bonadette asked me to express my apologies like you, due to the many things, he was not able to come to the airport to pick you up in person, and he hopes to apologize to you in person at the dinner in the evening.”
“Hmm? Mr. Danny, Mr. Bonadette is too kind, please convey my respect to him.”
Zhuang Rui smiled diplomatically, then asked somewhat curiously, “Mr. Danny, where did you learn Chinese? It’s very standard.”
Generally, foreigners in China basically speak a few words of Chinese, but in foreign countries, the chances of meeting a foreigner who speaks Chinese are very small.
“Oh, I have studied in your country’s Beijing University, eight years ago back to the United States, but I like that mysterious eastern country.”
Danny’s words made Zhuang Rui feel slightly stunned in his heart, this is the real super rich man’s style, for which country’s guests can consider the details, just one night’s time, according to their identity to send the most suitable reception staff, it can be imagined that behind Bonadette, there must be an organization that specializes in its service.
“Mr. Zhuang, there is the famous Sunset Boulevard, also known as the Avenue of Celebrities, on it are the signatures and handprints of many movie and television stars, by the way, China’s Jackie Chan left his handprints in it.”
Danny is very talkative, all the way to Zhuang Rui introduced the scenery and attractions of Los Angeles, from Danny’s words, Zhuang Rui also heard today’s Bonadette organized this private charity auction real intention.
This private charity auction, all the money won will be used for a leukemia foundation under the banner of Bonadette to save leukemia patients, which is a global nature of the foundation, its branches throughout the world in various countries.
In order to expand the influence of the foundation, so that more people to participate in the charitable cause inside, Bonadette invited the world’s famous people, such as Hong Kong’s Superman Lee, Macao’s Mr. Ho have received an invitation, then these people will not necessarily be present in person, but will also send assistants to shoot on one or two items, as a kind of support for the charity of Bonadette.
The charity auction is not a face project, casually come up with some things to fool people, Bonadette is really blood, will be from their own collection of antiques from various countries to come up with some treasures for the auction.
The car soon drove to the entrance of the Los Angeles Hilton Hotel, after the porter pulled open the door, Danny took the lead to get out of the car and paid the tip, then took Zhuang Rui in to check in, and then sent Zhuang Rui to the presidential suite located on the 28th floor, said: “Mr. Zhuang, you just got off the plane, take a rest first, I will come to pick up at 6:30 p.m., and the dinner party is held in the hotel where you are staying. held.”
Because the auction invited are global celebrities, the number of people is a little too much, so Bonadette did not put the dinner and the auction in their own homes, but in the hotel inside the auction, then the auction, will also be hosted by professionals.
“Shit, this dude is coming too? It’s not a loss to come this time.”
Waiting for Danny to leave, Zhuang Rui opened a book of information brought by Danny, on top of which was a list of some of the people who would participate in the charity auction this time, listed in the first place was the current governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger who had once taken the world of the movie world by storm.
The series of movies, The Terminator, is also Zhuang Rui’s favorite, although he does not follow the stars, but he is still a little excited to see the idol star of his student days.
“This is nothing strange, Arnold can get this governor’s throne, in fact, it is the consortium behind Bonadette in which the operation, like this kind of activity, of course he is going to come to support the scene, huh, in the rally in Los Angeles, there are few of these star faces.”
Huangfu Yun stretched his head and looked at the list, somewhat unimpressed, he understands the American society very deeply, and knows that behind these politicians, there is a huge consortium to help them operate, otherwise hundreds of millions of voters in each state or even the whole country, who will know what you do ah?
Huangfu Yun suddenly lowered his voice, came together in Zhuang Rui’s ear and said: “Hey …… old brother, what’s the matter, is there a favorite Hollywood actress? Night as long as you look on, give brother said, I help you arrange a.”
Regardless of which country is the same, these actresses will ultimately be the plaything of the rich and powerful, they participate in such a dinner party, in fact, is also looking for prey, of course, want to find young and golden or very difficult, which a successful person, basically is an old man.
