The Pinnacle of Life in the United States

Chapter 139: The financial oligarch who was tricked

Friedmansky is very depressed now. This year's financial turmoil has greatly damaged his vitality. Fortunately, he has the foresight to sell the building to stop the bleeding, and then he can get his money back.

I wanted to take advantage of the global Great Depression to show off my strengths on the capital stage and chose the United States as the world capital center.

By participating in this Christie's auction, I just want to announce to the American capital market that my toughness is coming.

Originally, the first half went well according to his own script, but the situation changed suddenly in the second half.

I was despised by the younger generation, what the hell, a dignified financial oligarch of my own was despised!

Friedmansky was angry, but his money was to be invested in the capital stage, and the funds that he could use were really not enough.

On this side, Friedmansky is still sighing, on the other side, the auction continues.

1959 Aston Martin DB4.

A sexy British sports car with a top speed of 153 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 6.1 seconds, which is not uncommon today, but back in the day, it was able to compete with the Ferrari 250GT.

Moreover, the number of car ownership is not large, it is a very worthwhile model.

Guys, a 1959 Aston Martin DB4 with a starting bid of $1.7 million, let me see which lucky gentleman gets to own it.

The auctioneer mobilized the atmosphere of the participants at the scene.

3000000.

3.5 million.

The dealership owners and collectors who were present also began to participate in the quotation, but it is clear that the increase of the Aston Martin DB4 is far less than that of the Ferrari 250GT.

Aston Martin's audience is still not as high as Ferrari's, and such a supercar that is not an ordinary sports car, there are not many people who like it except for some specific groups.

Insiders put its estimate at around $8 million.

5.5 million.

5.6 million.

Istanbul really likes this car and is waiting for the best time to end the game.

7 million. When the price reached 7 million, each increase became slower.

8.1 million. Istanbul made his first bid.

This price makes some speculators lose interest, but for collectors, this price is the start of their battlefield.

The price is still rising slowly. This time, everyone bids very carefully, and there is no such leap-forward increase.

10 million. It was still Istanbul who called out the price.

10 million, the first time.

The scene began to be a little quiet, and some collectors were comparing whether it was worthwhile to increase the price again. After all, the Aston Martin DB4 did not have a big market like the Ferrari 250GT.

10 million, the second time.

To be honest, if you win this Aston Martin DB4 at a price of 10 million, Istanbul will definitely make a profit.

However, there will always be someone who will pick it out at the most critical moment.

11 million. Friedmansky quoted the price. Friedmansky thought very clearly that he came here to make a name for himself, and it didn't matter what car he bought.

And this Aston Martin DB4 is a good opportunity for me to take action at the moment. The price of the car behind is too high, and I may not be able to win it.

And this car, even if I can't win it, I have to make the price a little higher, and let the small group around me pay a little more dollars, and I can feel better in my heart.

For Friedmansky's sudden entry, Istantin frowned a little, and he didn't have a lot of funds. What he really liked was the 1938 Delehayer 165 convertible.

If you compete with Friedmansky in this Aston Martin DB4,

Then he is likely to miss his beloved Delehayer 165 convertible.

However, it was a little uncomfortable to let Istanbul go now. It was obvious that he was provocative and he backed away, so Antonio's blow to Friedmansky just now would no longer exist.

It's a bit of a headache, as expected of an old fox, the timing is very good.

11.5 million. Istanbul quoted again, testing the financial oligarch.

12 million. Friedmansky did not hesitate to bid again.

Istanbul is about to give up. If he fights with Friedmansky at this moment, although he will not necessarily lose, he will not have the extra funds to buy the Delehayer 165 convertible that he likes.

12 million, the first time.

12 million, the second time.

13 million. Seeing that Istanbul conceded defeat, Lu Ning suddenly shot, which puzzled Istanbul and Antonio for a while. Isn't Lu Shao like the Ferrari 250GTO? Why did it suddenly take action at this time?

Friedmansky was also surprised. It turned out that the only opponents he thought were Istanbul and Antonio. Lu Ning was not included in Friedmansky's calculation at all, which is Lu Ning's performance from the beginning. Very low key.

It made Friedmansky feel a sense of delusion and contempt, but he didn't expect Lu Ning to take action at this moment. Which big family is this guy from?

14 million. The loser does not lose, and Friedmansky raised the price again.

15 million. Lu Ning's performance at this time was a bit like a prank, and he made a posture that no matter how much Friedmansky increased the price, he would follow it.

Chi, young man, you are pissed off. Then, I will play with you and see what your regretful expression looks like.

16 million.

17 million.

This price has exceeded the cash prepared by Friedmansky. He looked at Lu Ning and found that Lu Ning's performance was a little hesitant. It seemed that this figure was approaching Lu Ning's limit.

Based on his years of experience, Friedmansky is very likely to make another bid by himself, and Lu Ning will make another bid. Hmph, let me, Friedmansky, teach you a lesson.

18 million Friedmansky once again shouted a sky-high price.

Hey, why did that kid suddenly become very calm? I saw Lu Ning sitting lazily in his seat again at this moment, with no expression on his face.

Damn, no, I seem to have been fooled. Friedmansky instantly understood what happened. When he was calculating others, he was calculated, and the person who lost turned out to be himself.

Istanbul and Antonio also knew why Lu Ning suddenly shot, obviously digging a hole for the financial oligarchs.

The Aston Martin DB4, which was estimated at only 8 million, was auctioned for $18 million, and the polar bear financial oligarch paid a full $10 million.

Friedmansky was harassed by Lu Ning.

18 million, the third time, the deal.

Congratulations to our No. 8, for the Aston Martin DB4. The auctioneer is really happy at the moment, what a big deal this must be.

However, our financial oligarch has exceeded his stated goals and made most Americans remember their names after today.

However, is it the polar bear financial oligarch he needs to enter the United States strongly, or is it the take advantage of the polar bear. That is, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom.
