Chapter 362 Composition
"Sorry, I can't accept such an expensive gift." Luo Quan quickly raised his hands to refuse.
Although she subconsciously likes this kind of shiny gem, rationally speaking, she absolutely cannot accept this kind of thing.
The market price of such a large pink diamond is at least 25 million US dollars, and it is the kind that has a price but no market. It is really too expensive.
Johnson persuaded: "This is really just a small gift to me, not very valuable."
Luo Quan did not waver, just shook his head: "I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't accept it. If you insist on giving it, then I will have to pay for it at the market price."
Everyone could see Luo Quan's love for this diamond ring. As soon as the box was opened, Luo Quan's eyes and face changed. Now everyone got Luo Quan's preference.
I just didn't expect that she could stick to the bottom line so much. She obviously liked the diamond ring, but she could resist not giving it up.
Johnson has always felt that more than 99% of the women in the world would not be able to refuse the diamond ring on his hand, but unfortunately Luo Quan is the one percent exception.
You definitely can't sell it. It would be really funny if a gift was sold to the person receiving the gift. Besides, even if it were to be sold, it would be something that cannot be bought with money.
Therefore, Johnson also chose to take a step back: "Since you insist so much, forget it. But I think you also like gems and diamonds, and this pink diamond ring is indeed not the best. If you want Buy one and I can recommend a more beautiful one to you!”
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Luo Quan quickly waved his hand to deny, she didn't want to be misunderstood as the kind of superficial woman who only likes gems.
Johnson smiled: "Maybe I misunderstood, but I still want to recommend that ring to you. If you like it, I can give you a very preferential price. Just treat it as a friend."
"Okay." Luo Quan saw that he had reached this point, so he could only agree, thinking that he would probably bleed again this time.
This pink diamond ring alone costs more than 20 million US dollars, nearly 150 million yuan. How much more expensive is a better diamond ring than this thing?
Probably this amount of money is nothing to a young man like Johnson, but to her, it is already a very large amount.
After successfully dealing with the two wealthy young men, Luo Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Over there, Leon had just struggled out of the crowd of women. His face, neck, and collar were all covered with bright red lip marks.
Seifert smiled evilly when he saw this: "Look at our Leon, how enthusiastic girls are towards you."
"Stop talking sarcastically." Leon scolded tiredly, not even bothering to scold Seifert. He just raised his hand and waved to signal him to shut up.
Seifert was curious: "How did you escape? Are those girls willing to let you go?"
Leon wiped off the lipstick on his face with a tissue and explained: "They didn't share the spoils equally and they started arguing. I ran away before they were paying attention."
Seifert looked yearning: "I'm so envious. I can make a group of girls quarrel over me anytime."
Li An was disdainful: "If you really encounter this situation, you will know how uncomfortable it is."
Seifert's eyes widened: "I think you are so blessed that you don't know how to be blessed!"
Just as the two were about to argue, there was movement from the front. It turned out that the owner of the cruise ship finally came out.
Auburn Rothschild, the current patriarch of the Rothschild family. Since the old patriarch passed away two years ago, Auburn, as the eldest son, has inherited his father's position as patriarch, and also inherited the seven members of the Rothschild family. into more than a fortune.
However, Auburn has an active nature and doesn't like to stay in one place for too long, so he has been riding this cruise ship for the past two years, traveling around the world while handling family affairs.
Today is his fiftieth birthday. Half a month ago, he invited celebrities and wealthy people to come to the ship to attend his birthday party.
The Rothschild family did have an appointment. Most of the people to whom invitations were sent were present. Those who really couldn't come asked their sons to attend on their behalf.
It is worth mentioning that many media reporters can be seen among the guests.
When the old patriarch held birthday parties in the past, he usually did not invite reporters and kept a low profile most of the time.
However, Auburn and his father have completely different personalities. They are relatively flamboyant. On the occasion of his fiftieth birthday, there are so many big guys coming to support him. He definitely wants reporters and the media to publicize him.
Although Rothschild has always kept a low profile, it is absolutely understandable to come out from time to time to make his presence felt.
The fifty-year-old Oban stood on a platform about ten centimeters above the floor. In his forties, there was not a trace of white hair on his head. It was all dark brown curly hair, and the hair volume was quite gratifying.
There were many men younger than him in the audience, many of whom were already bald with most of their foreheads.
"Thank you for being here." Auburn said the first speech of the day into the microphone.
"Since my father passed away, this is the first time the Rothschild family has held a large-scale banquet. The fact that you are here to celebrate my birthday today proves that you all cherish the friendship with the Rothschild family. As the patriarch, I deeply appreciate it. It’s an honor.”
The audience burst into applause, and everyone had polite smiles on their faces.
After the applause, Oban continued to smile and said: "There are actually two important things today. One is my birthday, and the other more important thing is that my son Rorschach finally expressed his love to his girlfriend with whom he has been in a relationship for seven years. Teresa proposed!”
As he said that, a young couple slowly walked to the stage from behind Oban. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They both welcomed everyone's blessings together.
Oban looked at his son with a proud look on his face: "So, instead of saying this is my birthday party, it would be better to say this is my son Rorschach's engagement party.
I have not had any special achievements in business in my life, but what I am most proud of is that I have cultivated Rorschach, which is the greatest pride of my life.
As the future patriarch of Rothschild, I believe he will lead the family back to its former glory! "
"Who is this Rorschach? Is he very powerful?" Luo Quan asked curiously while applauding.
Fred replied: "I am quite familiar with Rorschach. This man is enthusiastic, easy to make friends, has a sense of justice, is wise, and has unimaginable acumen in business and finance. There is no project he invests that is not profitable." , none of the stocks he bought did not rise.”
"So awesome?!" Luo Quan was stunned after hearing Fred's comments. Isn't this the God of Wealth himself?
Fred nodded: "It's indeed very impressive. The big guys on Wall Street have a very high opinion of Rorschach, and they think that in the near future, he will grow into one of the masters who can control the stock market like them."
"What a pity. Although he has such great ability, he is destined to become a capitalist of capital." Luo Quan shook his head and sighed. He didn't know whether he was sighing for Rorschach or for the leeks that were floating up and down in the stock market.
Seifert laughed: "Capitalist of capital? The term you chose is quite interesting. Are there other capitalists?"
Luo Quan nodded: "There is a concept that is opposite to capitalists. In our place, it is called people's entrepreneurs, but the number is just very small."
While the audience was chatting away, the two people on the stage had already said their engagement vows and exchanged engagement rings under the witness of the priest.
After the ceremony, the birthday and engagement party officially began.
Plate after plate of delicious food was dragged by the waiter on the dining cart and presented to the table.
Open the lid and what’s on the plate is a variety of top-notch seafood feasts.
"Seafood again..." Luo Quan gently covered his chest, feeling like he wanted to vomit.
After staying on the island for a few days, she was faced with seafood every day. Although she didn't eat any, she was tired of just smelling it every day.
I originally thought that I could have something else to eat on the ship this time, even if I only had vegetarian dishes, I could have some variety, but the crab, lobster, and caviar were still the same.
"What, the food is not to your liking?" Eric immediately asked with concern when he saw his daughter's expression was wrong.
Luo Quan took a sip of juice and pressed it down: "In the past few days on the island, all I have eaten is these things."
Leon gnawed on a crab leg: "Sister, aren't you losing weight, and you still eat seafood?"
Luo Quan picked up a piece of tomato and said, "I haven't eaten it, but I'm tired of smelling it."
Luo Ni was confused: "Daughter, I see you are quite slim. Why are you losing weight so easily?"
Eric also echoed: "Yes, and losing weight is not a diet, let alone avoiding meat. The problems caused by nutritional imbalance will be even greater."
Luo Quan quickly explained: "I still eat meat, but I don't like seafood."
Luo Ni also thought of Luo Quan's eating habits at this time: "It is true that my daughter has not liked seafood since she was a child. In all her years in Japan, she has probably eaten less than one fish in total."
"It's okay. There will be other dishes later. If you don't like them, I'll ask the chef to cook them for you." Eric looked at his daughter with a doting look on his face.
Leon put down the eaten crab legs, wiped his mouth, and said weakly: "Actually, I'm a little tired of eating seafood. Can you ask the chef to make me something to eat later?"
When Eric saw his son, he remembered that he had forgotten what he had arranged. He immediately got angry and said, "What the hell! You're not picky about food. How can such a big table of food not fill you up?!"
Luo Ni hugged Eric's arm: "Hey, talk to me, why are you so mean?"
Eric was still angry: "If he's not fierce, he doesn't have a long memory. He can't handle such a thing well."
Leon lowered his head, looking aggrieved.
Seifert and Fred were nearby, suppressing laughter as if they were having an epileptic fit, their faces twitching and deformed.
"Pfft." Luo Quan couldn't help it and laughed out loud, but he immediately took it back.
Luo Ni said to Leon: "Okay, let's eat first. When your sister adds another meal, ask her to order one for you."
"Thank you, auntie." When Leon heard someone speaking for him, he raised his head and continued eating.
This also corresponds to the saying: For fathers, all daughters are biological and all sons are adopted.
The difference in Eric's treatment of his son and daughter is really visible to the naked eye.
"Eric!" The family was eating when the host of the banquet finally came to the door.
"Auburn, I haven't seen you for a few days. You've gained a lot of weight." Eric stood up to greet him. After the two hugged each other affectionately, Eric patted his old friend's sizable belly.
"So many people are a bit formal. Besides, how can you have a better brain than mine?" Oban glanced at Eric's bright forehead and laughed.
The men in the Albert family are prone to baldness. Eric is considered to be in better shape among the men in the family. Like the second eldest brother and his father, their hair has long since fallen out due to their busy work year-round, and they have spent huge sums of money on hair transplants. Useless.
Considering that Leon will transform from an idol to an actor in the future, it is very likely that he will be forced to become bald before he reaches thirty-five due to his increasing workload.
Fortunately, this phenomenon only occurs in men. Women in the Albert family do not have such hidden dangers. On the contrary, the vast majority of women have quite thick hair.
"This is your daughter." The two brothers came to the table while chatting.
Auburn knew Lyon, but this was the first time he met Luo Quan.
In the past two years, he has traveled around the world and got to know the most beautiful person in the world who suddenly appeared. While he was amazed by her appearance, he always felt that she looked familiar.
A few days ago, I reunited with Eric after a long absence. Auburn talked to Eric about this matter, and it turned out that this was his eldest daughter.
Oban was surprised and at the same time felt that the old man Jehovah was really partial. The father was already so handsome, so it was fine that the son was more handsome than the father. He didn't expect that the daughter was even more evil!
"Hello, uncle." Seeing his father's good friend coming over, Luo Quan quickly stood up to greet him.
Also standing up were Leon, Seifert and Fred, the latter two of whom were also acquainted with Auburn.
"Fred, you're here too." Auburn knew that Seifert and Lyon had a good relationship, so it wasn't surprising that they appeared together, but he didn't expect Fred to be there.
"Hello, Uncle Auburn, my father has to go to Italy to attend to some business, so he asked me to attend your birthday party on his behalf."
"Italy...I know." Oban didn't ask any more questions.
After greeting the young people, Auburn sat down with Eric and chatted for about ten minutes.
Luo Quan originally thought that she had nothing to do with her, but her father actually waved to her: "Daughter, come here."
Luo Quan raised his head and glanced, then got up and walked over.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Luo Quan put his hands behind him nervously and pinched them together.
Oban asked with a smile: "Niece, I heard that you are very talented in music. You can write a song in a few minutes."
"It's not that exaggerated. If inspiration comes, it will take about ten minutes." Luo Quan smiled modestly.
"Uncle, can you please do me a favor?" Oban's tone became sincere, "Today is not only my birthday, but it is also the engagement day of my son Rorschach. Can you take this opportunity to compose a song to send me a message?" For both of them?”
"Composing?" Luo Quan was stunned.
