Kobe Bryant didn't do anything back then, and it's impossible for the more mature Kobe Bryant to do it now, and even if he did, he might not be able to get a little bit of cheap.

Having said that, it must be a fool to do anything with two staff members in the middle.

This kind of occasion is all about face, even sports stars are no exception.

"Kobe..." Luke Wharton looked at Murphy in confusion, then at Kobe Bryant, and said, "What's going on with you?"

The fist was loosened slowly, Kobe Bryant took a deep look at Murphy, raised his hand, and slapped Luke Wharton hard on the back of the head, making a muffled sound.

"Let's go!" He didn't seem to want to see Murphy for a moment, and walked towards the outside of the banquet hall first, while urging Luke Wharton who was behind, "Idiot, hurry up!"

Luke Walton rubbed the back of his head and left after Kobe Bryant.

"You..." Gal Gadot looked at the backs of the two sports stars leaving, and asked Murphy again, "What happened between you?"

Murphy thought about it, this is the person closest to him, there is no need to hide it.

"When I started." He wasn't even a little ashamed, "Kobe Bryant sponsored a fund."

"Sponsored you a sum of money?" Gal Gadot looked at Murphy with disbelief in his eyes, "Is it really a sponsorship?"

She had heard Murphy talk about how most of the start-up capital came from.

Murphy shrugged, and briefly said what happened at the beginning, "Well... that's roughly the case."

"Well, honey." Gal Gadot sighed, "You started harder than I thought."

After finishing speaking, she grabbed Murphy's hand and shook it firmly. Murphy's efforts were indeed far beyond her imagination. Ninety-nine percent of people faced with his situation at that time would probably sink completely, that is, Murphy was determined and capable. He forcibly broke through a way to climb up, and worked hard to climb up.

"These are nothing." Murphy saw that Gal Gadot was a little depressed, and knew that she was worried about herself, so he held her hand hard and said, "Really, it's nothing. My dear, if I don't work hard , how could I meet you? How could I have the best girlfriend in the world."

A person like Murphy has always done a lot and talked a little. When such feelings are rarely shown, Gal Gadot turned her head, looked at Murphy, and nodded vigorously. She knew how lucky she was.

The auction was held in the form of a dinner party, and meals and drinks were delivered soon, but most of the people who came here, like Murphy and Gal Gadot, had specific goals and had no interest in food and beverages. How much interest is there, and more attention is paid to the so-called charity auction later.

The organizer didn't make them wait any longer, the auction started soon, and the first auctions were all luxury goods and works of art collected by Susan Saperstein. Murphy was not interested, and Gal Gadot Then routinely bought one for thousands of dollars.

The charitable activities to save those miserable black children in the United States are indeed commendable. Unfortunately, only a small amount of the money from this auction will be used for this purpose. among.

Frankly speaking, it is really difficult for Murphy to have too much affection for black people.

Although he didn't like blacks before, it wasn't disgusting. He just treated them like other ordinary people instead of treating them as so-called special people. Moreover, when "Man of Steel" was filmed, Murphy was also in the "Daily Planet" For the role of supervisor, the black actor Laurence Fishburne was used, and the other party also left him an excellent impression.

This cool-looking black actor has a normal heart, not the glassy heart of some black actors in the circle. In the crew, he is like David Robbie, Philip Lascher and Chris E. Vince, like the rest of the staff,

I just regard myself as an ordinary member of the crew, and I don't think I am a special one just because of my skin color.

Lawrence Fishburne used his actual performance to change Murphy's views on black actors, and he also began to consider that black actors can continue to be used when shooting other films in the future. If the character and cognition are like Lawrence Fishburne If En has such a normal heart, it is not impossible to play the role of hero and heroine.

But not long after this idea appeared, Murphy completely abandoned it, and decided that he would never use black actors for the main roles in his projects in the future.

For an independent and determined person like Murphy to change his mind, it goes without saying that something must have happened that stimulated his steel-like nerves and made him angry.

The matter is actually not complicated. A few months ago, a famous black rapper in the United States released a brand new hip-hop song called "Meet the Robber". Robbing rich Chinese in North America.

In this music video, it describes in detail how to rob Chinese and Chinese people, "First, you find a house in a Chinese community, because they don't believe in bank accounts", and the lyrics also describe in detail how to go to the Chinese residence to steal the specific process , and even suggested that "don't take large-screen LCD TVs and laptops, it is more cost-effective to steal jewelry boxes, and you can cash them in the pawnshop on the same day."

And this black rapper is an important member of a black rights protection organization!

Maybe ordinary Americans don't think it's a big deal, but Murphy has a special experience, how could he have a good impression of these people?

In this world, there is always a kind of person who, when you just had some expectations for them, will smash all your expectations with extremely clumsy performance, and let your sense of them fall directly into the abyss.

Of course, Murphy wouldn't just sit on the sidelines. He found a Chinese-American lawyer who had already reported the case to the FBI.

"Now to be filmed at the Beverly Hills 'Flowers of Lyth' estate in Hobell Hill..."

After waiting for a long time, the auctioneer on the auction table at the front of the banquet hall finally mentioned the only auction item that Murphy was interested in. After a brief introduction, the auctioneer said loudly, "The starting price of the 'Flower of Lys' manor 60 million U.S. dollars, with each price increase not less than 1 million U.S. dollars."

The reserve price of $60 million and the minimum markup of $1 million may not seem high, but this is also an auction technique that often attracts more people into the auction bidding competition and unknowingly becomes potential buyers.

"$61 million!"

In the front row, a sign has been lifted up.

He then held up another sign, "$62 million!"

At the beginning of the bidding, Murphy did not take any action, and waited patiently. It is not the time for him to make a move. It is impossible for the "Flower of Lys" to be sold at a price of more than 60 million US dollars.

Mariah Carey, the main competitor that Leonardo DiCaprio mentioned when he came in, was also very quiet, and Murphy didn't see her raise her card.

"70 million dollars!"

Probably out of patience with the price of one million dollars each time, a middle-aged woman in the first two rows of Murphy directly raised the price by a notch.

Murphy still waited and watched, not in a hurry.

"$71 million."

The one in the front row who was the first to bid seemed quite persistent.

The bidding for the 'Flower of Lys' was fierce, and quickly climbed all the way from $60 million to $80 million.

At this price, anywhere in the world, it can be called a super deal.

"The real estate industry has always been an industry that is good at creating miracles." Murphy said something to Gal Gadot in a low voice, and Gal Gadot shook his head, "Are you talking ironically?"

Murphy shrugged, neither admitting nor denying it.

In any case, the real estate industry once created myths in Japan. At the craziest time, the land price in Tokyo was enough to buy the entire United States.

The American economy has recovered from the trauma of 911, and the real estate industry also contributed a lot. The federal government has invested too much in this industry, and the real estate industry has also given them enough returns from the subprime mortgage crisis!

"85 million dollars!"

At the position Murphy focused on, a sign was raised.

No need to distinguish carefully, Murphy also knew that the person holding the sign was Mariah Carey, the famous flower butterfly finally made a move.

"$86 million!"

The person in the front row who was the first to call for a price raised his card again.

Almost at the moment when the price was shouted, Mariah Carey's sign was raised again, "90 million dollars!"

The entire auction house immediately fell into an extremely quiet atmosphere.

Although some appraisers have valued the "Flower of Lyth" at hundreds of millions of dollars, the valuation and the actual sale are completely different things. Looking at the luxury houses that have been sold throughout North America, there are very few that can be sold for the valuation.

Ninety million US dollars is already a very high figure for the "Flower of Lys".

"$90 million for the first time!"

The auctioneer yelled loudly, but no one raised their placards. Most of the people sitting at the scene were rich and famous from Hollywood and some overseas countries. 90 million US dollars is not a small number for anyone, "90 million US dollars the second time!"

Murphy took his sign from Gal Gadot and held it up, "$91 million!"

"95 million dollars!" Mariah Carey raised the price again.

Glancing over there, Murphy raised his placard again, "100 million dollars!"

He didn't know much about the so-called auction techniques, and Mariah Carey couldn't be a trustee of the organizer. In this way, the competition between the two parties was undoubtedly about who was richer.

Since Susan Saperstein required the buyer of the "Flower of Lys" to pay in full in one lump sum, to be precise, it was a fight over who had more cash and liquidity!
