Chapter 1206 The Third Brother Who Came In
Zhang Xiuzhi's English is pretty good. There's no problem with listening, but there are some problems with speaking. She can speak numbers fluently, but not other things.
"He's so anxious, you come and talk to him!" Zhang Xiuzhi immediately summoned Zeng Wangcai after reporting 5000 million.
At this time, Marshall came in hurriedly: "Sir, Madam, is there anything I can do?"
What she meant was why open the window and shout out the price.
"You've come just in time!" Zeng Wangcai waved at Marshall, "Just now we pressed the button, but there was no response. Is the equipment broken?"
"Oh, sorry, I'll check it out right away, but you can get a quote over the intercom." Marshall picked up a walkie-talkie-like device.
"Really..." Zeng Wangcai was absent-minded and didn't hear clearly.
Marshall didn't dare to say anything more and went out to find someone.
After receiving the news, Bell announced the suspension of the auction and asked technicians to come and handle it. It turned out that the light bulb was broken.
Bell was completely confused. He thought to himself, who is this person? He is so fierce that he actually broke the light bulb. He wants five hundred thousand dollars for free?
"Sorry, everyone. There's a problem with the equipment!" Bell regained his composure and explained the reason to everyone. "Someone's quoter is broken, so hehe... the current price is $5000 million. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher?"
He spoke calmly, but the people below were not. They began to wonder under what circumstances the quoter could be broken.
In another VIP room upstairs, a guy with an oriental face and a thick beard frowned.
Next to him sat a middle-aged man with a military temperament.
Of these two, one is Louis from the Gallic military. He is not the type who goes to the battlefield, but is mainly responsible for public relations and sales of their arms.
The guy with an oriental face is called Raman, and he is the third brother from a high caste.
The international situation has changed suddenly recently. When India saw that its neighbor, Japan, was almost beating the shit out of the British country and was still going against the Americans, the top leaders of India panicked.
Aren’t we number three in the world?
How come Tokyo University can now compete with the world's number one and beat the world's number four? Then what is our ranking in the world?
The third brother felt a sense of crisis, so he wanted to buy some high-end goods.
So they sent people to potential sellers, and Raman came to Gallic Chicken to explore the way.
The Gallic rooster naturally wanted to make this deal, so he sent Louis to accompany him throughout the process and also tried to please him by coming here to attend the auction.
Raman is just here to explore the way, whether it will succeed or not is another matter, but this guy’s family is very rich.
"Mr. Raman, it seems you have met your match!" Louis saw that Raman was in a bad mood and advised, "I think you'd better give up. The VIPs on the second floor of Rose Manor are not all from our country. The voice of the lady just now is clearly not from our country. It's better not to bid if you don't know her background."
"I'll try again!" Raman picked up the quoter with a dark face, "Add another 500 million..."
5500 million.
They raised the price by 1000 million in one go, while we raised it by 500 million, which is half the amount. The difference is obvious.
"5500 million!" Bell shouted excitedly.
This price has already exceeded the price of the painting ten years ago. Since it is still uncertain whether it is authentic, it is inevitable that Bell is excited.
Auctioneers also pay attention to historical performance.
Bell didn't care about anything else and looked in the direction of Zeng Wangcai's VIP room. Zeng Wangcai himself exposed his target first.
Zeng Wangcai, who was upstairs, got the intercom and shouted softly, "Add 50!"
To be honest, after learning the result, Bell was a little bit unconvinced. After all, he had pressed the buttons frantically just now, and now the lowest price was raised?
"5550 million..." Bale still quoted the price.
Then there was no movement from the third brother Raman!
Although his family is rich, a price of over 5000 million is already his limit. The last offer of 500 million was mostly a test.
"5550 million for the third time, deal done!"
The hammer fell, and Raman gave up.
Louis comforted him in the VIP room: "Mr. Raman, although I don't know why you like that painting, it doesn't matter. We have a lot of artworks here. If you like it, I will ask about private gatherings and take you there. You will definitely gain something. Now can we talk about other things?"
Raman nodded, completely gave up on the auction, sat down and said, "We need fighter planes, advanced fighter planes."
"We know this. I recommended the Phantom to you. It's a very powerful fighter!"
"I understand. My question is, does the Phantom have the ability to defeat the current fighters of the University of East in a dogfight?"
"This is definitely possible. Dongda's fighter planes are like that."
"..."
Raman didn't know how to respond to such boasting.
It is now known internationally that Tokyo University’s fighter jets are incredibly advanced and even the American fighter jets are no match for them.
"If you are not satisfied with the Phantom, we still have the Rafale!" Louis noticed that Raman was not interested in the Phantom and threw out the Rafale they were proud of. "We have just equipped a part of the Rafale and it is now in the fleet. Mr. Raman should know what I am talking about."
The Mirage is a product of the 1980s, while the Rafale is a freshly-launched product.
Normally, this kind of thing would not be sold out so quickly, but now is a rare opportunity, and the Gallic Chicken wants to take advantage of this rare opportunity to make a fortune.
Therefore, the Rafale can also be put on the shelves. After all, the core technology is in their hands, so it doesn’t matter if it is sold.
"I'll think about it!" Raman replied.
"No problem!" Louis smiled slightly. He knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed.
......
The hotel where Zeng Wangcai stayed.
One day had passed since the auction and it was noon the next day.
Old Kohler was very efficient and brought the information Zeng Wangcai needed.
Zeng Wangcai used his cell phone to record what Old Kohler said. Old Kohler did not dare to express any dissatisfaction with being recorded, and he told him in detail who had received the scriptures, and who had hidden scriptures in their homes.
"Very good, thank you!" After Old Kohler said this, Zeng Wangcai turned off the recording and saved it for later use.
"No need to thank me, Mr. Lei!" Old Kohler said politely, "I should be the one thanking you. Without you, our paintings would not have been sold at this price."
"Money is not a problem!" Zeng Wangcai pretended to be flawless.
"Mr. Lei, I'm going to have a dinner party at my house the day after tomorrow," Old Kohler said at last. "I hope to have the honor of inviting you to attend. You can learn more information at the dinner party."
This topic has been discussed before, and Zeng Wangcai has also expressed interest.
"let's talk tomorrow."
In another hotel, Raman received a call from Louis, who told him that a wine seller's home would hold a dinner party tomorrow and there would be art transactions, and asked him if he wanted to go.
Of course Raman had to go since he didn't buy "Sunflowers".
