Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

Du Yongxiao's guess was good.

Christie's and Rose Group have always been bitter enemies.

Rose Group, as the overlord of the underground auction world, has always been at odds with Christie's, the overlord of above-ground auctions.

The reason is very simple. Underground auctions have taken away a lot of Christie's above-ground auction business.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Rose Group to send an invitation letter to Christie's for hosting the "Victoria's Secret" this time, let alone give him such high "Crown" level treatment.

Now the question arises, where did the "Crown" invitation in Master Henry's hand come from?

The reason is simple, I bought it!

Don’t forget that Christie’s started out as an auction house. According to the big boss “Tiger Woods”, everything in this world has a price, including people, animals, and of course the “invitation” in Henry’s hands at the moment.

This invitation was bought by Tiger Woods for a million dollars.

Only a madman like Tiger Woods can do that if he spends one million for an invitation.

At this moment, Master Henry showed off the highest-level "Crown" invitation in his hand, which could be said to kill everyone.

Whether it was Alain Delon or Paul Newman, they all looked at him with admiration and secretly praised him. The son of the world's top auction company boss shocked everyone when he made his move.

The beautiful Linda, who has always been indifferent to Master Henry, has begun to turn her eyes. Compared with the high-spirited Master Henry in front of her, people of Du Yongxiao's level are simply incomparable. Even people like Alain Delon seem to have no comparison. Weak burst.

With Master Henry's crown invitation, everyone successfully entered the highest level VIP channel.

Sure enough, they were all greeted by beauties among beauties, and there were even special guides.

According to what the guide said, as the highest level of VIPs, they will be arranged in five-star suites throughout the cruise ship, and have dedicated butlers to provide them with personal services.

In addition, if they have any needs, they only need to tell the personal butler, and the personal butler will definitely try their best to meet the guest's request, absolutely.

As she spoke, the beautiful guide led everyone to the third floor of the yacht.

It happens to be July now, and the deck is full of charming bikini girls, white, black, Asian, etc., with different skin colors, but they are all top beauties.

They are young and beautiful, with slim waists, long legs and slim figures. There are even beauties who are not inferior to Anna and Linda.

"Everyone, these are the world's top young models invited by our organizer. Yes, their average age is no more than twenty years old, and the highest is no more than twenty-two years old. Their height and body shape are all within certain standards."

"In addition, as participants in the underwear show at this event, they have been rigorously trained to provide special services to the VIPs - of course, only crown-level VIPs!"

Although the beautiful guide didn't explain it clearly, any man would understand the words "special service."

For beauty guides, it is normal to say this and there is no need to be subtle at all, because the reason why these young models come here is to make money.

How much money can you make doing catwalk shows?

It's better to meet a rich man and maybe become rich overnight.

Master Henry's eyes swept over the faces and bodies of the young models, and his heart felt warm. He originally felt sorry for his father who spent one million to buy such a crown invitation, but now he felt that it was "worth the money."

Alain Delon and others are also excited in their hearts. After all, we are all normal men. Faced with such a young, beautiful and professionally trained beauty, who wouldn't be tempted?

Even John Lennon, who claimed to be an introvert, couldn't help but glance at the young models.

Although Anna and Linda were women, they didn't think there was anything wrong when the beautiful guide said this.

As for women's rights and respect for women, they didn't even think about it.

Anyone who lives in Hollywood knows that the most valuable thing for a woman is her young and beautiful body.

In fact, they couldn't help but look at the beauties, and when they saw the beautiful ones, they even felt a little excited.

Du Yongxiao was the only one who remained calm and composed at the scene.

He had seen too many scenes like this in his previous life, and now he was basically unfazed or even indifferent.

Du Yongxiao's move was seen by Master Henry and Alain Delon.

Young Master Henry couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw Du Yongxiao looking calm and composed, as if he was used to this kind of drunkenness.

But he immediately stopped caring, guessing that Du Yongxiao was deliberately pretending to be calm. After all, where could a low-level Chinese like him see such a scene? Maybe at this moment, my heart has already been turned upside down, and if no one is around, I will be in a ugly state.

Alain Delon and others thought the same way. Even if they were beaten to death, they would not believe that Du Yongxiao could really be so calm.

"This guy is pretty good at pretending!" Alain Delon shook his head, feeling that Du Yongxiao's subtlety had already been seen through by them.

Under the guidance of the beautiful guide, everyone finally arrived at the fifth floor lobby, the highest level of the cruise ship.

It's really different here.

There are a lot of people below. Although there are some rich people, they all look like nouveau riche. There are only a few people here, but they are all very imposing and more expensively dressed. The men are well-dressed, and the women have exquisite makeup and are covered with jewels. Although Their appearance may not be beautiful, but their extraordinary bearing speaks volumes about their status.

Many of them even looked familiar, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be wealthy ladies and powerful political figures.

"Everyone, you can move freely first. I'm going to see some old friends." Master Henry glanced around and saw some people he knew who had cooperated with Christie's before.

Everyone nodded, and Master Henry entered the social circle directly and began to feel like a fish in water.

Although he was a big star, none of the people present had high status. Alain Delon and others could only wait patiently, waiting for those people to look this way, and then hurried forward to strike up a conversation.

Du Yongxiao didn't know many people at the scene, not even as many as Anna, the female secretary.

Anna greeted and exchanged greetings with some people she knew. Knowing that Du Yongxiao was unwilling to reveal his identity, she did not mention him.

Du Yongxiao watched Alain Delon and others begin to slowly enter the social circle. He was not in a hurry. Instead, he felt very comfortable alone. He casually took double the champagne from the passing attendant and drank it by himself.

This kind of cocktail party is mainly for familiar people to communicate with each other. Strangers will not be able to enter the circle if no one helps to introduce them. Others ignore you at all.

"Oh, isn't that the new media tycoon Murdoch?"

Suddenly there was a low cry from the crowd.

Everyone quickly looked around and saw that in the center of the hall, there was a handsome white man surrounded by many people. He was the leading media king in the world today - Rupert Mercado.

As a world-renowned media maniac, Murdoch started from inheriting the family tabloid and overcame obstacles all the way, acquiring and acquiring again, directly expanding a small newspaper with only 12 people into owning 43 newspapers and magazines, three television stations, and two Radio station, its influence involves Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the "Media Empire".

It can be said that Mercado’s life is a life of continuous acquisition and expansion.

It can be said that starting from the acquisition of "Path Sunday Weekly" in 1956, in the next fifty years, "Weekly World News", "The Sun", "New York Post", New York Magazine Company and 200 companies that symbolize the dignity of Great Britain have The Times, which has a history of many years, and later Sky TV and Dow Jones, all have a common owner named Rupert Murdoch.

At this time, Murdoch is forty-three years old, which is when a man is in his prime. As a super media tycoon with billions of dollars, he is certainly qualified to have a crown invitation, and he is even more qualified to stand here and be a well-deserved guest at the reception. The "C position" enjoys the glory like stars holding the moon.

"Sure enough, it's the tycoon Mercado! God, I almost knew him before!" Alain Delon said in surprise, "It's a pity that I missed it in London!"

"My friend Robert De Niro knows him, but it's a pity that he is not here now. Otherwise, if he acts as a middleman, we can get to know this super tycoon." Paul Newman said with some regret.

As one of the people in charge of Paramount, Anna is not very interested in Mercado. To be precise, her only interest now is Du Yongxiao.

By comparison, Anna felt that Du Yongxiao seemed to be the same person as Mercado, ambitious and fond of expansion. It can be seen from Du Yongxiao's acquisition of Fox and Paramount that his ambitions did not stop there.

If there is any difference between Du Yongxiao and Mokoto, it is that Du Yongxiao is relatively young, only 25 years old this year, and Mokodo is 20 years older than him.

In addition, Du Yongxiao is relatively low-key and likes to control everything behind the scenes, giving people an unfathomable and, to put it mildly, sinister and cunning feeling.

Mercado, on the other hand, is a well-known high-profile figure. Whether he is acquiring companies, falling in love, getting married and having children, he makes it known to everyone every time.

For another beauty Linda, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but shine when she saw the media tycoon Murdoch.

She knew very well who the other party was, and even more aware that the other party seemed to be building his own new media empire, which included making movies and entering Hollywood.

Just when Alain Delon and others were sighing, they saw Master Henry coming over quickly and said hurriedly: "Mr. Mercado is here. I didn't tell you before, but he and my father are actually old friends! Let's go, Lin Da, let me introduce you to him."

After saying that, he reached out to grab Linda's wrist. Linda was stunned: "Am I the only one? What about everyone -"

"Sorry, Mr. Mercado has a high status and it is difficult for ordinary people to see him. Please wait a moment. I will introduce you to him again when I have the opportunity." Master Henry said this with a very proud look on his face.

Alain Delon, Paul Newman and others felt a little uncomfortable, but they could only squeeze out a smile and said: "Oh, it's nothing! Linda, go with Master Henry first."

"Yes, this opportunity is rare, you must seize it."

Seeing that Linda was still hesitating, Henry said quickly: "Mr. Mercado is there now, and only I can introduce you to him. The opportunity is right in front of you, it's up to you, Miss Linda! If you can seize it, With this opportunity, I can become famous in the entertainment industry and Hollywood."

Linda was immediately moved when she heard this.

Although she is also a "star" now, she is just a small star on the TV screen, relying on "Wonder Woman" to gain a wave of goodwill.

The movie that has entered Hollywood has not yet started filming, and we don’t know whether it will be successful or not. If we can hook up with Murdoch now, wouldn’t we have a big backer in the future? To be honest, there are a few people who work hard in Hollywood not just for fame and fortune. Now that they can get it at their fingertips, should they give up? only……

Linda thought of this and couldn't help but look up at Du Yongxiao.

Before, she used Du Yongxiao as a shield to reject Master Henry's pursuit. If she took the initiative to go with Master Henry now, wouldn't she be slapping Du Yongxiao in the face?

But Linda immediately thought clearly that Du Yongxiao was a fake boyfriend after all. He was nothing compared to a big guy like Mercado, and even worse than Henry. Why should she care about what he thought?

"Stop thinking about it, get up and seize the opportunity!" Seeing Linda still hesitating, Alain Delon couldn't help but push her, "This opportunity is only once, don't be embarrassed! Go!"

Linda saw this and took a step towards Henry.

Henry was feeling proud, why don't you take the bait? He directly took hold of Linda's snow-white little hand, took a look at Anna and said, wait until I get her done, then I'll fuck you. Today, I want to kill two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Henry was already thinking about how to get a room with Linda and how to play with her on the bed.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Henry showed a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth, looked at Du Yongxiao again, held Linda's hand tightly in demonstration, deliberately raised it towards Du Yongxiao, and said sarcastically: "What are you looking at? It's none of your business. !" Although the voice was small, Du Yongxiao could hear it.

Du Yongxiao smiled lightly and didn't care.

Alain Delon and others pretended not to hear. If they were given a choice, they would of course side with the wealthy and powerful Henry. As for Du Yongxiao, an unknown Chinese, they would certainly not side with him.

Anna was so amused that she couldn't help but said to Du Yongxiao: "Hey, have you had enough fun? You feel like you are watching a clown show. Of course, there is more than one clown!" After saying that, he looked at Henry, who was striding towards Mercado. , Linda, looked at Alain Delon and others with envious expressions.

Of course Du Yongxiao understood what Anna meant by this sentence, and was about to explain when suddenly there was another commotion around him -

"Look, everyone, who is that?"

"God, am I dazzled? It's Elizabeth Taylor!"

As everyone exclaimed, they saw a gorgeous and invincible woman wearing a white strapless dress. The tight and close-fitting material outlined her plump chest. The dress was dotted with small silver sequins, like fish scales. Coupled with exquisite makeup, she shines incomparably.

Coupled with her innate superstar temperament, she immediately shined in the audience, shining brightly for a moment, and immediately became the center of attention.

It can be said that at this moment, none of the women present can match him.

In fact, the name "Elizabeth Taylor" alone can instantly kill all the women present.

Because she is a legend, a screen queen who writes a new era of Hollywood!

Elizabeth Taylor, a stunning actress.

Since her first appearance on the screen at the age of 9, Taylor has never seemed to be embarrassed, and she has also transformed from a fragile child to a sexy movie queen.

In a 30-year film career, Taylor has won the Academy Award for Actress twice.

Taylor's popularity around the world is beyond imagination, but sometimes critics have reservations about her acting skills. This is mainly because she is so beautiful that her acting skills are overshadowed. However, for a person who lacks professional training, From a human perspective, Taylor's acting skills have reached an extraordinary level.

Marilyn Monroe is the sex goddess, Grace Kelly is the ice queen, Audrey Hepburn is the eternally seductive woman, and Taylor is the embodiment of beauty.

In particular, the Fox movie "Cleopatra" starring Elizabeth Taylor has become a benchmark in her life. Many people even think that Taylor herself is the "Cleopatra" of Hollywood.

It can be said that Elizabeth Taylor is a Hollywood actress who exists like a god. It is precisely because of this that she is qualified to attend the event as a "crown level" guest tonight.

…

Du Yongxiao couldn't help but smile as he looked at Taylor who was being held in high esteem by everyone.

He was no stranger to Taylor.

Especially after Du Yongxiao acquired Fox, he held a grand inauguration banquet. At that time, many female stars from Fox were invited to attend, including the ace among aces, Elizabeth Taylor.

At that time, it was Du Yongxiao who was praised by many stars. Fox President Ryder introduced Du Yongxiao to those big stars.

Those big stars, including Taylor, were very surprised at Du Yongxiao's young and handsome appearance.

Even the 41-year-old Elizabeth Taylor, who is sought after as the Queen, even took the initiative to joke to Du Yongxiao that if she were two years younger, she would definitely pursue Du Yongxiao because she had never seen an Oriental man as charming as Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao just smiled at this. As someone who had experienced it, he knew very well Elizabeth Taylor's "emotional history" - she often married her lover habitually.

Therefore, at that grand acceptance dinner, Du Yongxiao even rejected Elizabeth Taylor's invitation.

At that time, Taylor hoped to dance with a mysterious and handsome Eastern boss like Du Yongxiao.

In full view of the public, Du Yongxiao was afraid of spreading scandals, so he refused Taylor's invitation and told him that he would make up for it if he had the chance next time.

Taylor was disappointed.

She has always been the center of any party, and no man would take the initiative to refuse her, or be willing to refuse her.

Although she is forty years old, she is well-maintained and has more charm and beauty than a thirty-year-old beauty.

But in front of Du Yongxiao, she tasted "failure".

Since he was so radiant, Du Yongxiao only treated her politely. It could be seen from his eyes that he had no emotions in his heart when faced with the dazzling and coquettish her.

It can be said that Elizabeth Taylor was deeply impressed by Du Yongxiao at that party.

In turn, Du Yongxiao was deeply impressed by her.
