"Hello, director Stanton."


    As soon as Murphy and Gail gado got out of the car, a uniformed staff member came up and politely said, "this way, please."


    The auction, which was called by Susan Saperstein, was held next to a seaside club in Santa Monica, and was named as charity. The "flower of LISS" is just one of many auction items. According to the sales agent, most of the proceeds from the auction will be used to help black children who have lost their families in the black community of the United States.


    At first glance, this charity auction is really good.


    But people like Murphy and other rich people can see the trickiness at a glance. Not to mention the other antiques that Susan Saperstein produced, the "flower of LISS" alone is of great value. How can the IRS let go of this income? Charity operation has always been one of the best means of tax avoidance. Auction is named as charity. Through proper operation, Susan Saperstein can undoubtedly save a lot of taxes.


    If the seller was Murphy, he would also hold such a so-called charity auction.


    Entering the auction venue, Murphy and Gail gado greet Susan Saperstein standing at the door. They don''t know each other, which is just a polite greeting.


    Then, led by a staff member, he walked to the seat arranged by the organizer.


    "Hi, Murphy."


    Not long after he went out, someone stood up to say hello to him. Murphy went to see him in a twinkling of an eye and welcomed him with a smile. "Hi, Leo."


    It was Leonardo DiCaprio who said hello.


    After a brief chat, Murphy asked warily, "Leo, aren''t you interested in the flower of LISS?"


    Leonardo DiCaprio shook his head. "My eyes are on some famous 18th century paintings by Susan Saperstein."


    He gestured to the left with his eyes. "She''s your main competitor."


    Murphy followed Leonardo DiCaprio''s eyes and saw a plump half blood woman, the famous butterfly Maria Kelly. "


    " a strong competitor. " Murphy sighed.


    "Isn''t she out of breath? Is it rich? " Gail gado asked.


    Leonardo DiCaprio shrugged, "these top singers, one by one, are very rich."


    After a few words, Murphy and Gail gado went to the back, waiting for the auction to begin.


    Murphy also looks at Maria Kelly. If she also likes "the flower of LISS", it''s really troublesome. The financial strength of these Hollywood singers is often far beyond the movie stars of the same rank.


    "If you can raise money, this is the only one in the manor..." There was a voice next to him. A tall black man and a taller white man came up to him. It was the black man who said, "in my name, I''m sure I can get a bank loan."


    After listening to these words, Murphy knew that it must be for the flower of LISS. The two men were sitting at a table on his left, quite close to each other.


    Murphy turned to look over there, just as the black people also looked over and looked at each other. Murphy nodded and laughed first, but the black people on the opposite side were embarrassed and embarrassed.


    "What''s the matter?" It all fell into Gail gado''s eyes. She looked at the familiar black face, then at Murphy, and asked curiously, "what happened between you."


    Although her boyfriend never said it, she knew that although Murphy didn''t discriminate against black people, she didn''t like it.


    Murphy touched his nose. "There''s a little misunderstanding."


    He didn''t elaborate. After all, the kind of thing he did at the beginning was not glorious. Just tell others. Gail gado had better not know.


    In other words, Murphy never regretted or had a bad conscience when he got a key start-up fund from Kobe Bryant. If he did it again, he would make the same choice. At that time, he did not have any start-up capital. If he did not take risks, he might not have the current situation.


    Yes, that tall black man is the NBA basketball superstar Kobe Bryant who made a key contribution to Murphy''s career in the early stage.


    They were only five feet apart, and since they met, Murphy said hello.


    "Hello, Kobe." He said to the other side with a smile, "we meet again."


    There was no expression on Kobe Bryant''s black face. He nodded mechanically, "hello."


    Murphy shakes his head and smiles, but he doesn''t care. It''s just the most basic courtesy. He doesn''t think Kobe Bryant will have a good impression on him. After that, he turns back and continues to chat with Gail gado.


    Under the table, Kobe Bryant''s fist has been clenched. Of course, he knows who the asshole is. Even if the other party burns to ashes, he can smell the insidious and mean smell from it.A few years ago, he kept that experience in his mind. He also knew that this bastard named Murphy Stanton entered Hollywood and became a director.


    At the beginning, he followed each other, waiting to see Murphy Stanton''s unfortunate joke. What happened? It''s more than disappointment. It''s like hitting him in the face. Murphy Stanton has been successful and has become the hottest young director in Hollywood


    These are disgusting. He wants to vomit blood.


    Occasionally, when I think of the events of that year, Kobe Bryant also wants to disclose the news to the media, but when it comes to his own disgraceful side, he can only endure it. This kind of situation that clearly grasps the opponent''s black material, but can''t use it, can''t be described as suffocating.


    Hearing the name of Murphy Stanton and seeing the letters of Murphy Stanton, he had the impulse to go crazy.


    Kobe Bryant looked at an empty chair next to him and began to think about whether he had hit Murphy Stanton in the past.


    "Kobe, do you know Murphy Stanton?" There was a voice full of surprise. The speaker was the tall white man with him. "You know the famous Murphy Stanton!"


    "Luke Wharton..." Kobe Bryant just wanted to say something, but the white man named Luke Wharton was so excited that he snapped, "Murphy Stanton is my idol! What a wonderful film he made! Gone lover, body of steel One is better than the other


    Kobe Bryant''s face was suddenly gloomy, but his face was black. Luke Walton didn''t find it at all. Instead, he stood up and ran to Murphy Stanton to sign his name!


    His little brother became a fan of his nemesis, which made Kobe Bryant speechless.


    After all, it''s an auction house. Luke Walton quickly came back with his signature. Kobe Bryant was just about to get angry, and the excited Luke Walton got ahead of him again.


    "Kobe, it''s not so easy." After Luke Wharton sat down, he said seriously, "Murphy Stanton is also going to bid for LISS flower. I advise you to give up."


    Holding up the water cup on the table in front of him, Kobe Bryant drank it all in one breath. The water fell from his throat into his stomach. The cool feeling temporarily suppressed the rising anger.


    He looked at Luke Wharton and asked, "why give up?"


    "Your income gap is too big." Luke Wharton is very considerate of Kobe Bryant, "you can''t compete with Murphy Stanton."


    He also took a drink and said, "you may not know that it''s all over the media now. Warner Brothers and Murphy Stanton have signed a 20% global box office sharing contract. The global box office of" body of steel "has exceeded one billion US dollars, and he can get 200 million US dollars of dividends! And game of Thrones. I forget which newspaper or TV station reported that Murphy Stanton''s personal income in the first two quarters was no less than $100 million at least. "


    Luke - Wharton is still on the list, Kobe - Bryant''s head is about to explode, that bastard can make so much money! Why can he make so much money?


    The problem from his head around, and back to the starting point, Kobe - Bryant quickly thought, all this is probably because he was the money pit ah!


    Even if Murphy Stanton''s rise is not entirely based on that money, he believes it has played a crucial role in it.


    His enemy has achieved great success with his own funds. He has to look at his face and act. Is there anything more depressing in the world?


    Kobe - Bryant only felt a breath blocked in his throat, let him chest tightness, panic, breathless.


    But the younger brother in the team, who always takes his lead, keeps talking about the good and success of Murphy Stanton


    "According to authoritative media statistics, Murphy Stanton has a fortune of at least $300 million." Luke Wharton is still saying, "it''s easy to come up with 100 million dollars..."


    Kobe Bryant stood up and looked at Murphy angrily.


    This prickly look was immediately felt by Murphy. He turned his head and looked at the standing Kobe Bryant with a smile, very relaxed and comfortable.


    Only Gail gado next to her felt that her boyfriend was suddenly tense, just like a lion in danger. She had no doubt that if someone offended her, Murphy would beat him to the point where her parents didn''t know him.


    She heard little Robert Downey say that Murphy did a lot of things in prison, and knew that Murphy was never afraid of things.


    Luke - Wharton has stopped, even if again dull, also can see in the atmosphere is not quite right.


    A lot of people''s eyes also fell on Kobe Bryant, and some people followed his eyes to see Murphy, and the staff of the organizer came over for the first time (to be continued). )
