Chapter 40 The Suffering Enemy
Brandon witnessed all this, "Mr. Field, you are just a child." He rolled his eyes. "In fact, we can raise the price slowly. There is no need to blindly raise the price just for a moment. If the price of the collection rises too fast, you will lose yourself in the end."
I said meaningfully, "Don't be in a hurry, Brandon, just wait, I will definitely surprise you later."
Olanaya's bidding amount rose to 24 in an instant, and many bidders decided to withdraw at this time.This price is twice as expensive as the most expensive Lafite auctioned in London last year.Rich people are not fools, they can see that I am menacing.At this time, if it is not a wine lover who has loved Olanaya's life, he will definitely choose to avoid it.
Of course, there are also bidders who do not give up, such as Mr. Phoebe. After I quoted a price of 24, he almost burst into flames.
"This Mr. Phoebe didn't seem to have a single collection in the auction today." Brandon leaned into my ear and said, "It seems that he put all his hopes on the last collection, but he didn't expect that the opponent still has you. ...But I don't think it's a problem to compete with him, my concern is that he will raise the price maliciously."
I understand what Brandon said, but I'm afraid he won't raise the price maliciously.In fact, Brandon has always known me very well. I am just a child with a temper, and I like to pay for every penny.
I suddenly stood up and said loudly, "No matter who bids, my price will definitely be the highest in the audience, even if it is 50 or 100 million, it is the same. If you are not convinced, just compare the price with me."
After the voice fell, the audience remained silent for a second, and then a small whisper came, and everyone turned their eyes to me secretly. I faced people's sight without fear, and most of the men glanced at me I looked away at a glance, but a few elegantly dressed middle-aged women raised their eyes and saw my face, covered the corners of their mouths with their hands and laughed softly.
I politely nodded to them, in exchange for a few ambiguous glances full of temptation.
Phoebe was the first to blow his beard and stare at me, "Don't you think you are disrupting the order of the auction? There are still people in the world who are as rude as you. The auction hall was yelling, we should have the security kick that guy out. Don't you think so?" He looked left and right for supporters.
But no one paid any attention to him. All the people present were good people. After knowing that the auction was hopeless, most of them chose to die.Who knows if these buyers are using their real names?What if this person who dared to stand up and speak out is from a famous family?They didn't dare to make the above assumptions. It was just the finale collection of an auction, and there was really no need to offend other dignitaries for it.
I smiled indifferently, "This is Mr. Phoebe, if you think my actions are too arrogant, even though you can ask for a higher price than me, now I'm offering twice as much as you. I'm expelled, and then you have no competition, right?"
Phoebe choked up.
Of course he can't say yes, because this proves the fact that he bids less than me, but wants to use other means to drive away his competitors. This will make any auction house not welcome his arrival, but it seems inexplicable to say no He lowered my head, and it seemed that he was making a fuss. Obviously, it was not Phoebe's idea to let me pass the level unharmed. This kind of reluctance can be clearly seen from his face.
So Phoebe could only choose silence in the end.
He looked at me with a sullen look.
And I boldly whistled at him.
While we were confronting each other, Brandon made an unexpected move. He suddenly laughed out loud, breaking the original calm in the room. For a while, everyone turned their attention to him again—Brandon is the The most eye-catching guy in the room (he was wearing a tracksuit) is getting more attention now, and I can almost see the fire of gossip in the eyes of the rich people, they are looking at us and Phoebe, wondering who we are It doesn't matter, even if I don't know what they are thinking, I know it is definitely not a good thing.But Brandon quickly realized this, he pursed his lips silently, and turned his head to look at me, that look seemed to say, it's all your fault, don't sit down and avoid trouble.
I immediately obeyed his advice and sat down happily with Phoebe Lingchi's eyes on me.
Among the audience, the only one who is willing to see such excitement is probably the auctioneer. This kind of controversy just proves how hot the auction is this time. This is his success. The auctioneer couldn't help raising his voice, "Okay Alright gentlemen, please turn your attention back here. Mr. NO.15 Mr. Field just made a bold statement. His current price is indeed the highest in the market. It seems that we are going to close the last transaction today. If no one has Objection, I'm dropping the hammer in three seconds: three, two..."
"Wait!" Phoebe said sullenly. He glanced at me again and drew his tone, "I'll offer 25!"
I responded lightly, "50."
The auction price was doubled again. This move caused the entire auction hall to suddenly look at Phoebe with great interest, wondering what he would do. The auctioneer also put down the record and clapped his hands.
"50! God, I didn't expect a price that was five times higher than that of the London auction house to be born in my hands. Mr. Field, your name may be recorded in the history of wine."
Phoebe looked really pissed off. "51!"
I didn't care, "One million. It's a small amount of money to me anyway."
Then I said sarcastically, "I only added [-] after seeing Mr. Phoebe. I don't know what you mean by doing this. Are you hitting me? I want to see how many times I can pay. You can try my bottom line .”
Phoebe doesn't even look at me.He gritted his teeth, "120 million."
"It's finally looking a little bit better." I shrugged and smiled maliciously, "240 million."
Phoebe's girlfriend tugged at his sleeve, but he didn't hear it. "I'll offer 250 million." He yelled at me angrily, "Come on, let's double the offer. 500 million for a bottle of wine, ha! Let's see if they think you are really rich, or laugh at you for being taken advantage of."
At this time, I just spread my hands, "Mr. Phoebe, are you confused? What makes you think that I will spend five million yuan on a bottle of wine, please, it's just a bottle of wine, it's not a golden treasure, even if I’m not even willing to pay 250 million yuan, let alone 500 million yuan, I’ve decided! I want to give Mr. Phoebe the chance to be immortalized in the history of wine, and you can go down in history!”
The other party's face froze for a moment, and then became extremely ugly.
"You lied to me!" he yelled.
I looked at him pretending to be innocent, the crime of fraud is too serious, I can't afford it, what I did was at best booing.At this time, the auctioneer also raised his small hammer. "It seems that Mr. Field intends to give up bidding. Is there anyone willing to pay a higher price? ... Oh, no, well, the last collection of this auction, the 1623 Oranaya wine by No. 250 Phoebe Mr. won it! The final transaction price is [-] million yuan! Congratulations! Mr. Phoebe!"
With the sound of a clear knock, Phoebe's face became more and more rigid, his fingers were trembling, and he seemed to be trying to digest the news, but what he said could not be changed, otherwise he would have to deal with Shangliu in the future. Say goodbye to society, falsely reporting false prices will put him on the no-deal list of any auction house.
He was doomed to pay $250 million.
I ignored the other party's suddenly livid face, and pulled Brandon out. The auction is over, and there is no need for me to stay here.Although now I really want to go up to Phoebe and ask Phoebe how it feels, but let the winner taste the fruits of this victory alone.
Brandon was almost at a loss for such a development.He came out still frowning, "Mr. Field, what's going on, why did you suddenly increase the price at that time?"
Although he saw that I was deliberately inflating the price, I could have taken Oranaya alone in the first place, and he didn't understand why I would go to the extra trouble to anger Phoebe when it was obvious that I would not get the bottle.
I smiled slightly, "Didn't you think I shouldn't spend money on that bottle of wine, so I decided that I would do exactly as you asked, and by the way, give a small punishment to those who see us upset, now it seems that this deal is still worth it." It’s a good deal, I like to see people’s distraught faces, especially when the other party is unwilling.”
Brandon rolled his eyes, "Come on, you're not the type of person who takes what others say. And I don't think you'd risk spending money punishing a stranger, knowing that if Mr. Phoebe If you quit halfway, the 240 million must be paid by you."
I said, "Honey, let's keep the story a little suspenseful, it's boring to know the answer too soon, now please let us go and get our collection."
Having said that, Brandon and I have followed the waiter to a brand new room, where we will trade our collections, and then leave through the special passage, which is the last step of the entire auction process.Although Brandon was curious about my story, he also knew that if I wanted to keep it a secret, he would never get a piece of it from me.
This mystery was not solved until James, the manager of the RR Auction House, came out to meet us. He couldn't help laughing as soon as he entered the door, "Mr. Field, you are really good at acting. All the bidders were deceived by you."
I shook hands with him, "Both and each other, thanks to your bank's help, I got a check for 250 million yuan. The auctioneer has a lot of credit for getting such a price."
Brandon repeated in surprise, "A check for 250 million?" He turned to look at me, and when he noticed the sly smile hidden in my eyes, Brandon suddenly realized, "The last piece of collection, Olana Ya's wine is actually yours?"
"Originally mine," I correct him. "Now Olanaya is in Mr. Phoebe's collection. God bless him, $250 million a bottle, a figure I've only heard of before in movies."
Brandon couldn't help laughing suddenly, "Well, I was tricked by you too. It turns out that you are the anonymous seller. I thought you really lost your mind and wanted to pay 240 million to buy it."
"Listen, I'm not the kind of person who can get along with me just to show off. But I have to be honest with you Brandon, in fact, at first I only wanted to hype the wine for $50, but who called that The gentleman doesn’t like me? I had to raise the price up. You know, even if he doesn’t take the bait, I’ll still put the money in my left hand and put it in my right hand. I just lose a little transaction fee. Whatever you say, you'll be fooled."
I said meaningfully, "Don't be in a hurry, Brandon, just wait, I will definitely surprise you later."
Olanaya's bidding amount rose to 24 in an instant, and many bidders decided to withdraw at this time.This price is twice as expensive as the most expensive Lafite auctioned in London last year.Rich people are not fools, they can see that I am menacing.At this time, if it is not a wine lover who has loved Olanaya's life, he will definitely choose to avoid it.
