Amidst the discussions, Li Linfei put the red diamond at the front of the auction table for the appreciation of the people present, and then took out a certificate from the big box.
"Mr. Li, is this your diamond?" On the side, the auctioneer's eyeballs were almost protruding, what a beautiful red diamond!
Li Linfei nodded, and then said with a loud voice: "This red diamond weighs 280 carats, has 280 facets, and is of flawless quality. This is a GIA certificate, with a preliminary estimate of 15 billion RMB."
Red diamonds are much more expensive than natural crystal diamonds. Although this red diamond is only 288 carats, not as heavy as the original 520 carat diamonds, its value is not much worse than it.
This certificate was obtained by Li Linfei when he learned that the party would be held in the form of an auction, so the robot took the red diamond to the GIA institution for certification. The certification was not completed until just now, and then the robot sent it to Li Linfei non-stop.
As he said that, Li Linfei put the certificate on the side of the red diamond, looked at the people below and said, "Now, I will donate this red diamond. I will use all the money from the auction as a donation to the poor mountainous areas."
"Then now, sir, shouldn't you also donate an auction item of the same value, huh?" Li Linfei said to the rich man.
Hearing this, Fu Hao scolded Li Linfei in his heart for being a lunatic, he is not that stupid.
Everyone present knew that if Li Linfei dared to take out the red diamond on such an occasion, it would be impossible for him to be fake, so the rich man did not doubt the value of the red diamond at all.
Chapter 765 What a wonderful thing
Next, the auction and donations ended quickly. At the invitation of the organizer, most of the people were invited to the banquet hall on the upper floor to have a dinner.
Li Linfei didn't eat at night, so he didn't refuse at all, and went with him. Naturally, many people didn't go.
For example, Papa Ma, who was just passing through Xiangzhong City, and Chen Qing, who was called back by his father, both of them had to leave, and the rich man and the reporter, these two unlucky ones, couldn't go there either.
"Mr. Li is still young, and he has achieved what he is now. It's amazing."
"Su is always a business genius. With his future technology, in a few years, I am afraid that the world's richest man will be born in China."
"Since I was born, I have never admired a few people, but I really admire Mr. Li's talent and courage."
"Mr. Li, I have a daughter who admires you very much and wants to work in your company. Can you accommodate me?"
At the dinner, Li Linfei naturally took the highest seat. Many celebrities and entrepreneurs came to toast and chat with Li Linfei enthusiastically. Some reporters also surrounded Li Linfei all the time, waiting for the opportunity to interview him.
The officials present also didn't dare to take it too seriously, they all greeted Li Linfei with smiles and drank wine with him.
There were even one or two girls who thought their girls were good-looking, and even came forward to seduce him with beauty, hoping to establish a friendly relationship with him.
In this regard, Li Linfei could see the fire clearly, so he prevaricated in a few words.
……
A dinner lasted until 11:30. Li Lin Feirao was physically strong, but because he was toasted too much wine, his whole body was a little fluttering, but his consciousness was still clear.
After a few polite words with two entrepreneurs who came to chat with him, Li Linfei took Wang Nini, Li San and another robot and left the banquet hall.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the banquet hall, a man in his 50s came up to him panting and stopped him.
"Hello Mr. Li, my name is Wang Enlun. I don't know if you have time. I want to talk to you alone." After panting for a few breaths, the man looked at Li Linfei with shining eyes and said.
"Talking about something?" Li Linfei didn't have the slightest impression of the person in front of him, and frowned, "What's the matter?"
"Business matters."
"Oh? How big is it?"
"Hundreds of billions!" Wang Enlun whispered.
Li Linfei narrowed his eyes, took a deep look at him, and said, "Don't lie to me."
"Absolutely not!"
Wang Enlun said happily: "Mr. Li, this way please, let's talk in the private room above."
"Okay." Li Linfei naturally paid attention to the hundreds of billions of business. Although he didn't know what kind of business Wang Enlun was selling in the gourd, it was okay to go with him and find out the truth of the matter.
So, taking the elevator, Li Linfei and the others came to the fifteenth floor of the hotel.
After entering a box, Wang Nini and the robot stood guard outside, while Li Linfei talked with Wang Enlun inside.
"Mr. Wang, you can talk about your business now." Li Linfei said.
"Mr. Li, let me introduce myself first. I am Wang Enlun, the vice president of the head office of the People's Bank of China. I am looking for you this time because you said at the auction that your company is short of money. I think, if necessary, our bank I am willing to lend you a loan!" Wang Enlun said.
Naturally, he wasn't at the charity gala just now. He heard a report from an employee who came to the charity gala that Li Linfei had no money, so he rushed over without stopping.
Today, he caught an opportunity when Li Linfei's company was short of cash flow, and wanted to establish a cooperation with him in the name of a loan. With this cooperation, Li Linfei's future money would be embarrassing not to deposit in their bank.
Hearing this, Li Linfei's face became a little weird. This guy is really a weirdo. If you give him a loan, is he short of money now?
Li Linfei currently has tens of billions of dollars of liquidity at his disposal, and he really does not lack money.
The reason why he said that at the auction just now was to create an atmosphere. He himself didn't believe it, but...some people really believed it.
"Mr. Wang, I appreciate your kindness, but my company doesn't need a loan yet."
Other companies are begging the bank to lend, but now the painting style is reversed.There are probably no companies in China that actively have banks looking for loans, except for future technology, right?
"Mr. Li, our bank really wants to establish a cooperative relationship with you. In terms of interest, we are willing to give you the best treatment, and we can also extend the loan period for you."
Li Linfei politely refused, and Wang Enlun was a little anxious. In fact, he also knew in his heart that Li Linfei's previous statement that he had no money was probably a cover.
But what about the pretense, his purpose was to use this pretense to establish a cooperative relationship with Li Linfei.
Let him start with the loan. Once Li Linfei agrees, then Jiang Qingming will be sure to ask Li Linfei to deposit the money in their bank.
As for why he did this, the reason is actually very simple, that is, the president of the People's Bank of China will be transferred recently. If he brings future technology into the People's Bank of China at this time, then he has a great possibility to become the next president of China Construction Bank. The chief executive, that's at the ministerial level.
On Li Linfei's side, he probably guessed what Wang Enlun was thinking, but the latter was doomed to be disappointed.
"Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry. My company really doesn't need a loan. In fact...we are not short of money. What I said at the charity party before was just a helpless move."
Li Linfei was not afraid that Wang Enlun would tell the story, and he was not afraid that people from the outside would scold him for being dishonest. Compared with the red diamond he donated, these are small things, which are not worth mentioning.
Chapter 766
"Oh, that's such a pity." Wang Enlun felt a little sad. In the past, others came to ask him for loans, and he put on airs.
But now, for the position of the general manager, he personally came to ask for a loan from others, but they didn't even want it. It was like a beep.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, since I have nothing else to do, I'll go first." Li Linfei yawned, drunk, and his face was tired.
"I also happen to be going out, let's go together."
"Okay." The two walked out of the box. Li Linfei glanced at Wang Nini and said, "I'm going to rest here tonight. Are you going back or staying here?"
"Ah? Mr. Li, are you not going back?" Wang Nini was stunned.
