“The next item is Self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh… the starting bid is 50 million USD… Start!”
The moment the Auctioneer finished, and Bill Gates was about to raise his hand, someone shouted . “60 million!”
Wow…
Everyone was shocked and wonders who raised the bid by 10 million . This person must be determined to get this painting .
Bill Gates lowered his hand . He doesn’t want to compete with Feng Yu, but someone thinks otherwise . For example, Paul Allen .
“61 million!”
After Paul Allen shouted his bid, and before the Auctioneer said anything, Feng Yu raised his hand . “70 million . Paul, you also like this painting?”
Paul Allen saw Feng Yu’s expression and doesn’t dare to raise the bid . He is afraid Feng Yu is tricking him into raising the bid .
The Auctioneer shouted the price three times, and Feng Yu won this painting by Vincent van Gogh . 70 million is much higher than what art collectors estimate . But all the art pieces will appreciate annually .
The participants clapped for the highest bidder today . Feng Yu remained seated with crossed legs and had a smile on his face . He had only spent a few million higher and does not mind it .
Unknown to others, Feng Yu had cursed Paul Allen several times in his heart . If Paul Allen had not interfered, Feng Yu wound have scared the rest of the participants off with 60 million bid . If someone else bided 61 million instead of Paul Allen, Feng Yu would have a high chance to win it with 65 million . But 5 million USD is not enough to scare Paul Allen off .
“The next painting is by Peter Paul Rubens…”
The moment the auctioneer finishes, Paul Allen, interested in this painting, raised his hand . “45 million!”
This price is not high enough to stop others to bid . The price was slowly raised to 53 million USD . No one else is making higher bids, and when Paul Allen is about to win the painting, Feng Yu raised his hand . “60 million!”
It’s the same voice again . The people sitting at the back stood up to see who dares to outbid Paul Allen .
Paul Allen stared at Feng Yu . Feng Yu is trying to create problems for him again . But Paul Allen had selectively forgotten he had purpose raised the bid against Feng Yu earlier .
“63 million . ”
“65 million . ”
“70 million . ”
“You win . ” Feng Yu shrugged his shoulders and said .
Paul Allen almost vomited blood . He thought Feng Yu will continue to increase the bid, and he will stop . But now, he was the one who paid more than 10 million higher!
Although 10 million is nothing compared to Paul Allen’s net worth, most of his assets are shares . 10 million USD is not a small amount to him .
Paul Allen is furious, especially when Feng Yu said, “you win . ” Did I win? I am the one who suffered a loss!
The clapping of the participants made Paul Allen angrier . It’s like everyone there is mocking him .
The following items up for bids are normal, and then it’s an intermission .
“Heh… Paul, this year’s highest bidder, is me . Although you had bided the same amount, I won it before you . ” Feng Yu said purposely .
“It’s too early for you to say . ” Paul Allen gave Feng Yu an angry stare .
“Then, just wait and see . ” Feng Yu turns and walks away . This made Paul Allen more furious .
Paul Allen might not be a magnanimous person, but he will not get angry easily . However, whenever he met Feng Yu, he will lose control .
I am Paul Allen! How can I lose to someone like you?!
After the intermission, the auction started again . Bill Gates won two manuscripts, and other participants won some items .
When an oil painting is up for auction, Feng Yu started bidding . “50 million!”
Paul Allen immediately raises the bid . “60 million . ”
Feng Yu continued . “70 million . ”
Paul Allen wanted to raise the bid but was stopped by Bill Gates .
Bill Gates shook his head . “Paul, there is no need to vie with him . This amount is way higher than the value of this . If you raise the bid, he will surely stop, and you will be the sucker . ”
Paul Allen took a few deep breaths and stared at Feng Yu . He did not continue to bid for this painting .
Feng Yu shrugged his shoulders . When the Auctioneer announced Feng Yu had won the painting, he said “pauper” softly at Paul Allen .
Pauper?! You are calling me a pauper?!
Paul Allen almost exploded . He had never been humiliated like this in his life!
It’s just a painting . Paul Allen is determined to go against Feng Yu today . Let’s see who the sucker is today!
The Auctioneer on the stage almost burst out laughing . Today is too surprising . He thought with Paul Allen and Bill Gates attending this auction, they will be winning most of the bids . But now, it seems that the Chinese man is the biggest winner . Although he does not know Feng Yu, he can guess his identity . Someone bidding recklessly and is at loggerheads with Paul Allen must be Asia’s Top Billionaire, Feng Yu .
The sales of these few paintings will make this auction the best auction this year . It might even be 30% more than the forecasted transaction amount .
“This painting is by Picasso…”
When the Auctioneer finishes, Feng Yu raised his hand . “70 million!”
Wow…
The other participants gasped in shock . This is the first time they saw someone bidding like this . The starting bid for this painting is only 48 million USD .
Did this tycoon only know 70 million? He had bid this figure for all the paintings .
Paul Allen turns and looks at Feng Yu, chatting with Ralph . He overheard Feng Yu saying he wants to buy this painting and hang it in his bedroom .
You want to buy this painting?! Sure… But 70 million is not enough!
“80 million!”
The Auctioneer is overjoyed . This is the highest bid today… no, it’s the highest bid for an oil painting in the last ten years . Who knows when this record will be broken in the future?!
Paul Allen looks at Feng Yu provocatively . Up the bid! I will stop immediately if you up the bid! I will make you pay at least twenty million more for this painting!
But Feng Yu did not continue to bid for the painting .
Paul Allen started to panic . Although Picasso’s paintings are famous, it is not worth 80 million USD . Especially during this economic downturn period .
When everyone clapped and congratulate Paul Allen for being the highest bidder at this auction, Paul Allen overheard Feng Yu saying .
“This painting is so ugly . I had made the wrong bid and was still wondering if I can cancel it . Luckily, Paul Allen save me . ”
Paul Allen couldn’t believe what he heard . What did Feng Yu say? He made the wrong bid?! How can he bid wrongly?! How is it possible?!
