Chapter 194: Hacked

"Because the bottle was created by the world's leading jewelry designer Jose-Davalos, the exterior is plated with 24K gold and pure white gold, and set with 6,666 perfectly cut real diamonds, making the whole bottle look like a beautiful work of art, so the bottle is very expensive, with a starting price of $2 million!!"

After the auctioneer finished speaking, the hall suddenly became noisy.

"A bottle of wine is so expensive, who would buy it?"

"Hehe, just buying 6,666 real diamonds will cost nearly a million dollars......"

"I still think it's too expensive!!"

"yes, yes, it's too expensive!"

"I don't think anyone is going to spend two million dollars on a bottle of wine!"

“……”

The hall was discussed for a minute or two, but there was still no bid.

The auctioneer said: "I count down to 10 seconds, and if there is still no bid, the bottle will be lost!"

“10,9,8,7……”

The countdown began, and in the box, Karina said to Henry: "It looks like no one will bid!"

Henry smiled awkwardly, "Forget it, I'll shoot it myself, if it fails, how ugly it will be to spread out!!"

Karina covered her mouth and smiled: "How can wine be sold so expensive, I regret it now......"

Henry smiled bitterly, picked up the remote control, and typed in two million dollars!

At this time, the auctioneer counted down to 3, and suddenly, a number of two million appeared on the electronic screen, and everyone in the hall was amazed!

"Are the people in box K001 stupid to buy $2 million in wine?"

"The person in box K001 must be a rich man, and he has auctioned a $15 million mansion before!"

"It's okay to say that buying a luxury house, after all, it can appreciate in value, and it would be too exaggerated to buy a bottle of wine for 2 million!!"

"That's right......"

As soon as the auctioneer saw that the bidder was a guest in box K001, he knew that it was Henry Williams himself who had bought the "Williams I" wine. The auctioneer knew this, but his face remained silent, and then he said in a very demagogic language: "The guest of K001 is really generous!! if I have money, I will buy a bottle." Then get a taste of what billionaire Henry Williams would have been drinking on a daily basis. It's a pity that I don't have the money!Okay, no one else bids now? If there is no bid, the most expensive bottle in the world will belong to the guests of box K001!!"

The auctioneer glanced around. Feeling a little disappointed, he immediately said: "Since everyone is not bidding, then I declare that the 'Williams I' wine belongs to K001 ......."

"Slow !!!"

"I'll pay $2.5 million !!!!"

A voice sounded in the hall in vain, and everyone followed the voice, only to see a middle-aged man with a big belly raising his hand and shouting loudly.

"Who is this? Actually paid $2.5 million to grab a bottle of wine?"

"I know him. His name is Victor Neham, and he is an oil tycoon in Alaska. A few years ago, he discovered a large oil company in Alaska, and as a result, he made a fortune and became a billionaire!!

"It turned out to be an upstart ......"

"Hehe, this person is really enough for two hundred and fifty ......"

“……”

At this time, in box K001, Henry sighed and said. "Look, isn't there someone rushing to buy my wine?"

Karina looked at the smug smile of the fat man on the screen, was speechless, turned her head to Henry and said, "Bisheng made you meet this kind of rich nouveau riche...... Otherwise, how can your wine be sold!"

Henry smiled and said, "This wine is sold to those nouveau riche, pretending to be special wine!!

Karina burst out laughing, "Still pretending to be a special drinker, I see, you're the most pretending to be ......."

Inside the hall. Victor Neam said proudly: "Two million dollars is nothing, Lao Tzu will lose more than two million in one night of playing cards!! since this is the wine that billionaire Henry Williams drinks on weekdays, I want to buy it and try it." Let's see what it tastes like!!

"What to look !!"

"If you don't accept it, you can also bargain!!"

Victor Neam couldn't help but shout loudly when he saw the contemptuous eyes around him.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder at the scene was very strong, the auctioneer hurriedly came out to be a peacemaker and diverted their topic, "Everyone calm down, the auction is still going on." This gentleman is bidding $2.5 million, and is anyone bidding more?"

", what is a nouveau riche bullish, Lao Tzu pays $3 million!!" A middle-aged man in a black suit and glasses who looked like Sven Wen raised his hand and shouted.

Victor Neam hated others saying that he was an upstart, so he stood up angrily and shouted: "You ******, Lao Tzu paid 4 million US dollars, you have a kind of continue to follow, not to follow is a bad !!"

"Just follow, 4.5 million !!"

"Lao Tzu 5 million !!," Victor Neam yelled!

In box K001, Henry and Karina looked at each other, but they didn't expect the scene to evolve like this......

"Williams I wine is going to shock the world," says Karina!!

Henry touched his nose and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet two strange people fighting here!!"

"Hehe, they are vindictive, but they have perfected the 'Williams I' wine. Karina smiled, "I guess when they calm down, they will regret dying!!

In the hall, after Victor Neham shouted 5 million, the other party did not make an offer.

Victor Neham swaggered to the middle-aged man with glasses and a thumbs down.

The auctioneer looked at the middle-aged man with glasses, and saw that he had no intention of continuing to bid, so he announced: "If there is still no one to continue bidding, this bottle of 'Williams I' wine will belong to Mr. Victor Neham of No. 8!"

"3," the auctioneer counted down, "2, 1......"

The auctioneer then struck the hammer and exclaimed, "Well, congratulations to Mr. Victor Neham on winning the bid for Williams I!!."

After the Williams I auction, Sotheby's auctioned off four or five more pieces, and at about 10 o'clock, the auction ended! Henry only bought the "Free City" in the auction this time, when the manager of Sotheby's came to his box. Handle the delivery procedures directly with him.

"First of all, congratulations, Mr. Williams, your wine sold for a whopping five million dollars!!" Sotheby's manager laughs.

Henry smiled: "Hehe, I thought it would be a failure." So I made a price first!"

The manager of Sotheby's smiled slightly, took out a few documents, and said: "This is the real estate certificate of the 'Free City' and the certificate of the Sotheby's auction house, and in addition, we will charge a 20% commission for the 'Williams I' wine." Therefore, you will be refunded $4 million!"

Henry nodded in understanding, and then went through a series of formalities with the manager of Sotheby's.

That night, Henry and Karina opened a room and slept in a nearby upscale hotel.

A lingering, needless to say.

The next day, the headline in the American newspapers was the news about the "Williams I" wine, a bottle of wine for five million dollars, which immediately stunned everyone!

Netizens commented: "The world of local tyrants, we don't understand !!"

NBC TV has done a lot of follow-up coverage of the Sotheby's auction. Interviewed the staff of the auction house and the guests of the evening. Sotheby's also became famous for this auction of Williams I, beating Christie's, another major auction house!!

When Henry woke up at 10 o'clock the next day, Tony Lind, the caretaker of the winery, called Henry to tell him that there were countless media reporters coming to the winery to find out. In addition, three hotels around the world have ordered Williams I wines from the winery, as well as one private purchaser!!

Henry hung up and laughed unconsciously. Curiosity kills cats, there are always people who are interested in such expensive wine...... There is no shortage of local tyrants in the world, but there is a lack of things that make them curious!

Henry waited for Karina to finish dressing up. I had Chinese food in the hotel restaurant, and at 7 o'clock this afternoon, the Victoria's Secret fashion show will be held, before that. Henry and Karina are rushing back!

However, after Henry and Karina had eaten lunch, Tony Lind called again, this time in a very anxious tone......

"Mr. Williams, it's not good!!" said Tony Lind, a little anxious!

Henry asked Karina to wait in the car. He answered the phone outside, but as soon as he answered the phone, he heard Tony Lind shouting "Oh no", and immediately Henry's brows couldn't help frowning, and he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?!!

"Shortly after that, Château Lafite, one of the world's top five wineries, held a press conference to ridicule our 'Williams I' wines, saying that our wines are purely fancy on the outside, but on the inside they are a bad !!"

"We only sell one bottle of wine at the moment, so how dare they make a judgment?!" Henry puzzled.

"Mr. Williams, after the rich man who bought your wine last night, Victor Neham, after getting the 'Williams I' wine, went to a friend of his to show off, claiming that it was the most expensive and best wine in the world, and that his friend was none other than the senior management of Château Lafite! After tasting the wine, the senior executive of Château Lafite immediately teased that this wine is rubbish compared to Lafite! The next day, Château Lafite held a press conference and said that he wanted to expose us. Williams I's true face!"

Williams I wine is at least a fine wine, maybe it's a lot worse than a top wine, but it's definitely not an inferior wine!!

Château Lafite must have seen the hype of "Williams I" wine very hot, and was afraid of threatening its own interests, so it suppressed it. Otherwise, I'll buy my wine, and it's your business......

"Mr. Williams, they took the bottle of 'Williams I' at the auction and invited more than a dozen senior tasters to identify it at the press conference, and finally they always thought that our 'Williams I' was inferior and had a false and deceptive !!."

", if the tasters were all invited by me, your special lafite wines would also be inferior wines, believe it or not?!!" Henry scolded in his heart, "and the tasters, the special ones are all !!"

Tony Lind anxiously asked, "Mr. Williams, what are we going to do now......?"

"This time it is obvious that Château Lafite is smearing us," Henry said in a deep voice, "you also invite the tasters, let them come over to taste the wine, say something kind, and then pretend to be pitiful to the media, saying that Château Lafite is afraid that we will seize their market, so they are bullying the small, deliberately suppressing and smearing us!! first fight a war of public opinion, and have a !! with them"

Henry said, "Just through this public opinion to increase the exposure of our winery!"

"Hmm!"

"In addition, our winery should do everything in its power to develop top quality wines! If our wines are also top wines, we can silence them and leave them speechless!!

"Yes, Mr. Williams, I'll supervise them and let them work hard to develop the best wines!" replied Tony Lind.

"Well," Henry replied softly, and then asked, "what are the total assets of Château Lafite?"

Tony Lind wondered, "Mr. Williams, why are you asking this?"

Asking what this is for??? Henry smiled coldly in his heart, of course he did the "acquisition!!

Before Henry could speak, Tony Lind said, "I don't know about this, but the total assets must be huge!"

"Since you don't know, then you can investigate it carefully!!" Henry ordered, "That's it, I'll hang up!"

Henry hung up and got into the car.

Seeing that his face was a little angry, Karina couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's a small thing, Château Lafite held a press conference to discredit Williams I wines as inferior," Henry said.

"This Château Lafite is indeed a bit of a deception!" said Karina, upset for Henry.

"Don't talk about it, don't be angry!" said Henry, "it's going to be the Victoria's Secret fashion show, let's go!"

"yes, okay!" Karina nodded.

"Drive!!" Henry commanded the driver.

"Yes, Mr. Williams!"

The car started slowly, and after a while, the speed increased and it sped away!

……

……

Although the Victoria's Secret fashion show has not yet been held, the wind of letting go has made many media begin to pay attention to this event. By the time Henry and Karina arrived at the office, there were already a lot of reporters here. ABC TV has already set up a set-up and will broadcast live on TV tonight!

CEO Marcus Christie is checking that all the preparations are perfect, the clothes, the lights, the music, etc., and there is nothing wrong with it!!

Henry walked over and greeted, "Marcus Christie!"

"Oh, Mr. Williams and Miss Karina, you are finally here!"

"There was a slight delay on the way," asked Henry, "how is the preparation?"

"No problem, Mr. Williams, don't worry!"

"Well, that's good!"
