Chapter 1108 From Enemy to Friend
Philip was glad to hear his words. Maximilian was Connor’s friend and it would benefit him a lot if he
had a good relation with Maximilian. He immediately stood up.
Harley noticed the rich man and found he look familiar to him. When he led Philip to Maximilian, Harley
finally reminded that the rich man used to fight for the land for housing with Topyuan Group.
He didn’t tell Maximilian about that thing. If he did, it would only bother him.
Philip rubbed his hands together and looked at Maximilian with a smile, waiting for him to command.
Maximilian directly spoke his real intend, “I heard you are going to sell a blue and white porcelain. Is it
already sold out?”
Philip’s heart jolted when hearing his words. Did that mean Maximilian attended this auction for the
porcelain? Things were so messed up if it was true!
“Me. Lee, do you need that?” Philip wanted to reassure.
Maximilian nodded.
Philip knew he it would bring him a great deal of trouble if he told Maximilian he had already sold the
porcelain to someone else. He finally continued, “Mr. Lee, I can sell it to you privately. I was afraid that
no one would buy it and didn’t present it today.”
Maximilian was stupefied and believed his words.
Philip wept his cold sweat when finding Maximilian showed no doubt. He hurriedly went to the first roll
and said to the rich man, “I can’t sell the porcelain to you. I need it now.”
The rich man got a bit angry and frowned, saying, “Philip, now this is your fault. You have promised that
you will sell it to me. What’s going on?”
“I want to, but that man needs it.” Philip forced a smile and replied.
The rich man frowned and said, “No way. I like that porcelain. I have searched many antique stores and
that porcelain is the only one that meets my requirement. I can’t give it to anyone easily. I want to bid
with him.”
“Please don’t cause me any more trouble. I will find you a better one.” Philip became anxious. He
couldn’t fail the first mission that Mr. Lee gave him.
The rich man was still unwilling to give up the porcelain, which really put Philip in a dilemma.
Philip finally said, “Okay, I will show you around, but you have to bid for it equally.”
Philip let the rich man wait in the VIP room and told Maximilian the truth.
Maximilian found it strange. However, after knowing what the truth was, he was still a bit surprised. He
knew Philip was in a dilemma and didn’t blame him.
Philip’s tense string finally loose when finding Maximilian was so generous.
The rich man showed a disdainful smile when seeing Maximilian’s appearance. At first, he thought
Maximilian was a big name, now it turned out that he was simply a nobody. The rich man could tell from
Maximilian was broke.
The rich man’s fortune could rank in top 100 in H city. Maximilian must be daydreaming to bid with him.
The rich man sneered, “It costs me double price to buy this porcelain. I will immediately sell it to you if
you can give me five hundred thousand yuan.”
He asserted that Maximilian couldn’t pay so much money. In his view, Maximilian was nobody but
Connor’s friend.
Hearing this, Maximilian said, “Okay, don’t forget what you said.”
Philip was speechless about the rich man. He already reminded him to be polite, but he directly went
against Mr. Lee.
Mr. Lee took out a bank card and said, “Here it is.”
Philip forced a smile and said, “Mr. Lee, what are you talking about? If you really want it, I can give you
for free.”
“I still have to obey the basic rules, otherwise, someone won’t give in.”
Philip finally took his card. The rich man still didn’t believe Maximilian had so much money and
sneered, “Is that true? You don’t need to boast if you are not competent.”
Maximilian only smiled and didn’t say anything.
Philip was astonished when finding he succeeded in swiping the card. At first, he thought Maximilian
was only a friend of Connor. Now it seemed Maximilian was also a wealthy man.
The rich man was also shocked. He never expected Maximilian really carried five hundred thousand
yuan. He began to regret for what he just said.
He immediately changed his attitude and said, “No way, I will add another five hundred thousand. Let’s Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
bid equally.”
Maximilian said coldly, “We have competed once and you lost at that time.”
The rich man was stupefied and didn’t understand his meaning.
Maximilian said slowly, “You used to bid the land for housing with Topyuan Group and failed.”
“How did you know?” The rich man was astonished. Maximilian was only an ordinary man. How would
he know such a thing?
“You! I never expect that I lose again.”
The rich man suddenly became discouraged. He didn’t want to bid with Maximilian any more because
he knew how powerful was the Topyuan Group.
Topyuan Group was in a boom recently and ranked top 10 in H city. The rich man couldn’t do anything
with it.
Maximilian smiled and said, “I only want one thing in the porcelain and I will give you the rest of it.”
The rich man looked at Maximilian confusedly, while Philip hurriedly gave the porcelain to Maximilian.
Maximilian found the secret key inside. It was lucky that it didn’t stick tightly with the porcelain, making
it easy for him to take it without hurting the porcelain.
Both the rich man and Philip didn’t know what he was doing.
Maximilian gave back the porcelain to the rich man and said, “Let’s become friend instead of enemy.”
Although the rich man did things in a rigid way, Maximilian could tell he was a good man in nature.
The rich man was moved and felt grateful towards Maximilian. At the same time, he was shamed of
what he had done. He already decided to cooperate with Topyuan Group to pay his debt and he would
also benefit from it.
Maximilian got what he wanted and soon left the premise with Harley.
