838 The Price of Arrogance
Even in Edgard's eyes, he had to admit that this red crystal ball was indeed priceless.
He said indifferently: "It is this kind of rare treasure that Mr. Xiao will take a fancy to, so you can talk about the price." ”
"Since Mr. Rockefeller's friend likes my heirloom, there must be a discount on the price, and the auction house has given an estimate of $450 million to $600 million, so how about $500 million?" the Earl of Oman seemed to quote a low price.
The auction house did estimate $450 million to $600 million, and he wasn't lying, because if Edgard wanted to find out, it was a phone call.
But the price he quoted for $500 million was not low, and it could even be said to be a bit high.
Not every treasure can be auctioned for a high price, and any treasure that can be sold for a high price must go through the multifaceted operation of the auction house.
This red crystal ball from the Oman family is not a sought-after item in the market, and it is very difficult to fetch a high price. The Omani family is in urgent need of funds to be returned, preferably within a week, and it is precisely because the publicity cycle is too short that the Earl of Oman chose to exhibit in this top clubhouse instead of sending it to a top auction house.
Although the Earl of Oman did not know Rockefeller's friend, it can be seen from Rockefeller's attitude that Rockefeller attached great importance to his friend.
The person who can be so valued by Rockefeller is obviously not an ordinary person, even if his status is not as good as Rockefeller's, it should not be much worse than him, and such a big man should be able to get 500 million US dollars.
Edgard turned his head to look at Xiao Yao and asked, "Mr. Xiao, do you think this price is acceptable?"
Although Edgard had decided to buy this red crystal ball for Xiao Yao at his expense, he did not directly agree to Count Oman, but wanted to ask Xiao Yao's opinion, which was a sign of respect for Xiao Yao, and he had to do it.
"The price was fair and acceptable. ”
After getting Xiao Yao's confirmation, Edgard said to the Earl of Oman very simply: "It's too late today, let's do the handover tomorrow morning." ”
Although he couldn't get the Fire Spirit Bead in his hand for the first time, Xiao Yao had nothing to worry about. With Rockefeller's status, even if it is just a verbal agreement, no one will dare to violate it. Taking a step back, even if things went wrong and Count Oman finally chose to sell this red crystal ball to others, Xiao Yao would not be worried, because no matter who bought this fire spirit bead, he could find it at any time.
The matter was settled, and Edgard just wanted to introduce the Earl of Oman to Xiao Yao, when he suddenly heard a quarrel outside, and one of the parties to the quarrel was obviously Fang Cunzhi's voice.
Xiao Yao frowned, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
Edgard and Bernard looked at each other, both of them with a fierce look in their eyes.
Fang Cunzhi was tonight's honored guest, and now he was hit under their noses, which made the two of them lose face. Something like this humiliating thing has neither of them experienced in decades.
When the three of them walked out, a young man with blond hair and blue eyes was standing in front of Fang Cunzhi and roared loudly: "Are you blind, I'm such a big living person, can't you see it? If you apologize, do I have to forgive you? If you want me to forgive you, it's not impossible, you wipe the footprints on my shoes clean, and bow and apologize to me properly, then I can forgive you." ”
Hearing the young man's words, the expressions on Edgard and Bernard's faces suddenly changed greatly, and the two of them walked forward quickly.
Neither of them expected that such a change would happen after only leaving for such a while, and they were very annoyed in their hearts.
Those who can enter the exhibition hall are all members of the club, and the members of this club, even if they have the worst status, are all top rich, and their safety is absolutely guaranteed.
It was precisely because of this that the two of them did not accompany Fang Cunzhi. If they knew that this kind of accident would happen, the two of them would definitely not be by Xiao Yao's side.
When there was a conflict between the guests, the waiter in the exhibition hall must have calmed down, and a waiter next to him said: "Dear Mr. DuPont, please put out the fire, can you see that I will clean your shoes?"
"I don't want you to wipe it, I'm going to let this yellow-skinned monkey rub it!" The young man named Du Pont looked at Fang Cunzhi with disdain, with an arrogant look.
Someone next to him said, "Mr. Dupont, are you going too far? It's really unbelievable that the heir of the DuPont family is actually a racist!"
Although it was a little far away, Xiao Yao's eyes were too sharp, and he didn't expect to see the famous Jack Ma here.
"What if I'm a racist? I just don't like you yellow-skinned monkeys, look at your faces, each one is more hypocritical than the other, it's disgusting!" This heir of the Dupont family, who had suffered a loss from a Chinese during his school years, and his bad feelings for the Chinese had become so deep-rooted that it had even reached the point of not concealing it.
Fang Cunzhi had never been insulted like this, his face was pale, but he still kept his senses, "Mr. Dupont, I took the initiative to apologize to you, but out of politeness, although I stepped on your foot, but you also bumped into me at the same time, it is difficult for the two of us to say who is right and who is wrong." It's just a small thing, your inferior language and quality are shocking, I need a solemn apology from you!"
"You asked me to apologize, what are you, you dare me to apologize to you, are you worthy?" The heir of the Dupont family was full of alcohol and had an arrogant attitude.
"What are you, can you tell me?" Xiao Yao quickened his pace and walked up to DuPont and said.
Du Pont was facing away from Xiao Yao's direction, and he turned around and said, "Why are there nosy wild dogs everywhere......"
After turning around, the first thing DuPont saw was Bernard and Edgard.
He never expected to see these two bigwigs in the clubhouse, and what he was going to say later was suddenly stuck in his mouth and he didn't say it.
"Mr. Morgan, Mr. Rockefeller, why are you here?" said the young DuPont heir, hurrying out in greetings.
"Where are we going, do we need to inform you?" Morgan's tone was very unkind.
Although Dupont was a little drunk, he was not completely out of his mind, and both Morgan and Rockefeller had serious expressions on their faces, which made him half sober from drunkenness.
His gaze finally fell on Xiao Yao, and he could conclude that the person who spoke disrespectfully just now should be this young Chinese.
The young man stood right in the middle of Morgan and Rockefeller, and seemed to be taken seriously.
DuPont can't care too much about observing Xiao Yao now, he can be arrogant in front of others, but he definitely doesn't dare to be arrogant in front of Morgan and Rockefeller, in the face of the two bigwigs' unkind questioning, he can only reply respectfully: "Dear Mr. Morgan, you misunderstood what I meant, if I do something wrong, please point it out, I will be humble to correct it." ”
"You don't have that chance anymore. ”
After saying this, Xiao Yao looked at Rockefeller and asked, "Who is he? Judging by his arrogant and domineering style, he shouldn't be a child from an ordinary family, right?"
"He was David Dupont, one of the heirs of the DuPont family. Rockefeller replied truthfully.
"No wonder it's so arrogant, it does have a little capital. ”
After saying this, Xiao Yao continued to say to David Dupont: "I'll give you a chance, if you don't want the DuPont family to disappear, kneel on the ground and kowtow three times now, as long as you ask Uncle Fang's forgiveness, I can let you and your family go." ”
Everyone originally thought that David DuPont was arrogant enough, but they didn't expect that there were young people who were even more arrogant than David Dupont.
For DuPont's arrogant attitude, the onlookers were not very surprised, because as long as they knew the true identity of David Dupont, they would feel that David DuPont did have arrogant capital.
Although the influence of the DuPont consortium is slightly inferior to that of the Rockefeller consortium and the Morgan consortium, it is also one of the top chaebols in the United States.
After listening to Xiao Yao's words, everyone on the sidelines was surprised, and the same was true of Jack Ma, this awesome young man was so surprising, he now wanted to know where this young man got this confidence.
Listening to Xiao Yao's words, David DuPont was not only not frightened, but felt very funny, and when he saw Xiao Yao's serious appearance, he couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Yao just stood in front of him, looking coldly at the expression on his face, without any change.
It wasn't until David Dupont's laughter stopped that Xiao Yao continued to ask, "Tell me your decision." ”
"I don't know which circus clown you're out of, are you here to be funny? If you're here to be funny, then I can tell you that you've succeeded, do you want me to give you a dollar?"
Although Xiao Yao appeared with Morgan and Rockefeller, David Dupont was very sure that he had never seen this young man from China, and this young man would obviously not be a big man, so he would talk to Xiao Yao in such a provocative tone.
After hearing David Dupont say this, both Morgan Sr. and Rockefeller had a look on their faces looking at the dead.
With the two of them's understanding of Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao will definitely not let go of this David DuPont easily, maybe even the DuPont family will be implicated because of him.
The strange look on Morgan and Rockefeller's faces made David Dupont a little confused, and he didn't know why they had such expressions.
"Now that you've made your choice, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. I can tell you right now that in three days' time, the DuPont family will be gone. ”
In everyone's ears, Xiao Yao's words not only did not have a bit of deterrence, but made people feel a little ridiculous.
Even an ordinary person knows how terrible the DuPont family is and how amazing its power is, how can such a behemoth disappear because of a young man's words?
You can often meet braggarts in life, but it is the first time that everyone can brag so loudly.
Everyone looked at Xiao Yao with pity in their eyes, and at this time, these people thought in their hearts that maybe there was something wrong with this young man's psychology.
David DuPont thought the same thing. Originally, he was very angry in his heart, but after saying these few words to Xiao Yao, his mood relaxed, he felt that the young man in front of him was very interesting, this kind of serious bragging, very happy, he had never seen it in other people.
After the change of mood, his tone of voice softened, "Isn't three days too short? I can wait for you for three months or three years, I would also like to see how the Dupont family disappears, if you can do this, it must be cool!"
Xiao Yao is not joking when he says this, he has already made up his mind to take the DuPont family as a prestige.
Although the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family are very respectful to him, this does not mean that he has much influence in the United States.
There are too many top chaebols in the United States, and the influence of any top chaebol is amazing. Not every person in power of the top chaebols has a deep understanding and understanding of Xiao Yao like Morgan and Rockefeller, most of them don't know anything about Xiao Yao, and a few of them, even if they do, are only superficial news.
If Xiao Yao wants to expand his influence to the United States, he must have an object of prestige, and this object of prestige must have enough weight to have a satisfactory effect.
This reason is enough to be reasonable, coupled with the huge luck of David Dupont and the rulers of the Dupont family, Xiao Yao will not be relentless.
Any cultivator's heart is cold and hard, and if something is related to cultivation, it will be even more unforgiving.
Knowing that the blonde and blue-eyed foreign young man in front of him was actually the heir of the Dupont family, Xiao Yao immediately probed the light of luck on his body.
The intense purple color dazzled his eyes!
Xiao Yao is even more satisfied with Fang Cunzhi, the future old man, Fang Cunzhi is definitely his lucky star.
He had just deprived a large amount of purple qi luck from Fang Cunzhi's opponent, and now he could deprive David Dupont of an even larger number of purple qi clouds of higher rank, such a gain was greater and greater every time, Xiao Yao felt that he was already happy and was about to become numb.
The luck obtained from David DuPont is amazing enough, but this is not the only one, let alone the biggest gain, Xiao Yao deprived the patriarch of the DuPont family of his luck through David Dupont, that is the real big harvest.
