Bill Gates looked at Paul Allen with some pity in his eyes. He told him not to let him fight with Feng Yu, but he still refused to listen. Will he suffer a loss now
Some people behind Feng Yu also heard this and secretly swore in their hearts that they would never increase the price after Feng Yu called out the price. Isn’t it wrong to just casually call 70 million
And they also looked at Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft, with a tacit understanding. Today, he was in trouble. Although Paul Allen could afford to spend tens of millions more, this matter would definitely become a joke in the circle, the kind of joke that would be talked about every time there is an auction.
Paul Allen seemed to feel the eyes behind him. When he looked back, everyone's eyes were very strange, seeming to contain ridicule and pity.
Turning around, Paul Allen still felt like there was a light on his back. He looked at Feng Yu fiercely, but saw that Feng Yu was chatting happily with Ralph. The two seemed to have said something funny again. If If it weren't for the auction site, the two of them would probably be laughing so hard.
The smiles of Feng Yu and Ralph seemed to Paul Allen to be mocking him. He didn't believe it yet and couldn't cheat Feng Yu once.
This time he bid first and remained silent as long as Feng Yu increased the price.
Another oil painting was put up for auction. The starting price of this painting was only 10 million US dollars. Paul Allen shouted 20 million US dollars without hesitation, and then looked at Feng Yu.
Feng Yu squinted his eyes, looking like he was cultivating his mind, and had no intention of increasing the price at all.
He came to take two paintings, intending to make gifts for Kirilenko. The price is too cheap and cannot be sold. I have already bought two paintings, at least the "Still Life" should be given away, right
For the rest, the starting price was so low and the artist's name was not famous enough, so Feng Yu was not interested.
Feng Yu didn't say anything. Paul Allen's price was so fierce that others naturally didn't dare to follow, so Paul Allen bought another oil painting at a premium.
Bill Gates advised from the side: "Paul, I don't think Feng has any intention of fighting with you. You should just bid normally. If you call it this way, you will lose more."
"I don't believe it. Feng Yu just bought two paintings. Didn't he buy all oil paintings? There is another oil painting at the back. I can guarantee that he will definitely buy it."
Bill Gates shook his head. It is difficult to persuade people who are angry. If he suffered such a boring loss, he would definitely be unhappy and want to regain his position.
But he felt that Feng Yu was as cunning as a fox, and he could easily fall into a trap if he wasn't careful.
Although Feng Yu sold all of Microsoft's shares, Bill Gates believes that there is no possibility of re-cooperation in the future. Just like him and Qiao Busi, isn't it normal for the two of them to work together, break up out of anger, and then work together again.
Besides, the GBOX they cooperated with is about to be launched on the market, so it’s better not to make too much trouble. This GBOX is the product he uses to fight Suni, and it cannot fail.
The last oil painting started to be auctioned. Paul Allen stared at Feng Yu. Neither of them bid at first, but some people behind him began to increase the price frequently, but the range was not large. It was a normal bidding.
Suddenly, Paul Allen saw Feng Yu's hand holding the number plate move. He immediately raised the plate and shouted: "Sixteen million."
This time he only increased the price by one million dollars, and he would not be so impulsive again. Unfortunately, Feng Yu didn't say anything this time, but someone behind Feng Yu raised a sign and added an additional $500,000.
What's going on? Why didn't Feng Yu say anything? Did Feng Yu give up? Absolutely impossible!
He suddenly saw that Feng Yu turned around and chatted with the person behind him, with a smile on his face.
Ah, it dawned on him. It turns out that the person behind him also took the picture for Feng Yu. Damn it, he almost fell into the trap and let Feng Yu get the painting at a very low price.
"Eighteen million."
Feng Yu still didn't say anything, but the person behind him started to increase the price again.
Paul Allen had a sarcastic smile on his face, thinking you could find someone to bid for you, but I don’t know? If you increase the price, I will also increase the price. If you add up to ten or two hundred thousand like this, how much can you lose
When it reached 23.6 million, the person behind Feng Yu became silent, and Paul Allen also saw what Feng Yu said when he turned around.
This oil painting once again fell into the hands of Paul Allen. But he frowned, he shouldn't have, how could Feng Yu just give up
Until the end of the auction, no oil painting was auctioned, and Feng Yu naturally did not participate again.
"Hey, Paul, congratulations. Today, no, the highest price paid for a work of art this year is yours." Feng Yu gave a thumbs up, showing you how proud you are.
"Hmph, I said it would be me, so it must be me. Do you think I won't know if you ask the person behind you to help you auction it? The last oil painting is also mine."
"Asking the guy behind me to auction for me? Are you talking about Roddy? I just met him. He put the "Still Life" up for auction. He was thanking me just now. Oh, by the way, finally I even advised him not to argue with you about that painting. I saved you a lot of money. Shouldn't you thank me?"
Paul Allen's eyes widened. What did Feng Yu say? That Roddy is the seller? Didn’t you know Feng Yu originally
The last oil painting must be that of Rody, he was tricked!
"Then why did you turn around and joke with Roddy?"
"Ah? I heard him say that he had an Internet company that he planned to sell. We made an appointment and I wanted to see if it was worth acquiring. You know, I have a lot of money right now and don't know what to invest in. Speaking of which, this year Internet companies are also in trouble. In the recession, many have gone bankrupt, and Roddy’s company is also in decline, otherwise the collections would not be sold.”
Paul Allen's expression looked like he had swallowed a lot of dead flies. He was completely wrong. Everything was just his guess. Not only did he fail to cause trouble to Feng Yu, but his own chest felt even more blocked!
"Why are you bidding on oil paintings at such high prices? You Chinese people probably prefer ink paintings or porcelain, right?" Paul Allen asked.
"Didn't I tell you that I bought oil paintings just to show off. Well, to pretend that I know a lot about Western art. The auctions I participated in were all paintings by famous artists. Why, aren't you?" Feng Yu He stared with two big eyes, with a look of curiosity on his face.
The corners of Paul Allen's mouth were twitching. Is this Feng Yu really just pretending
Just to show off, you spent such a high price on an oil painting? Why don't you argue about Picasso's paintings
Paul Allen took a few deep breaths, said no more, turned around and went out.
He swore that he would never buy oil paintings again, never again!
