Chapter 112: The Purpose of Little Flying Shoes
The auction continues.
But Sophie Marceau's heart was beating faster now, and her little hand was held by a man who was still a stranger the day before yesterday, looking down at the sapphire necklace on her chest that seemed to be enjoying the light.
She could feel it.
Shooting from the side all the time will be like the jealous gaze of other women.
This kind of gaze.
It made her vanity feel great satisfaction, especially the jealous gaze of the few bidders who had just bid for her, especially the chubby lady, which made Sophie Marceau want to show off with pleasure.
What do you think?
You may be richer than me, you may be better than me, and you should have had an easier time getting this treasure than I am.
But I don't have to be richer than you.
Naturally, someone will give it to me!
And this person who gave it to me is a man you will never get in your life!
With the blessing of the aura of money.
Abel, who was already handsome, now seems to be even more handsome in the eyes of Sophie Marceau.
Abel is on the right track.
If you use other methods, such as directly throwing money and sending money to send a house to pursue Sophie Marceau, maybe you can still catch her up if you spend a little more. But that's not something that $2 million can solve.
But now.
With this kind of way that is a little romantic, very bold, and very in line with the pursuit of Sophie Marceau's literary, 2 million US dollars opened her heart.
Even last night.
She didn't beat so fast when she was riding on someone.
That night was just a beautiful One night, with a passion that involuntarily arose under the mood of alcohol and indulgence. But since it is passion, it will slowly fade after it passes.
Not like now.
Sophie Marceau thinks.
Even many years ago, when I promised Zulasky's confession and pursuit, my heart beat so high.
This made her ghostly send her up, was brought by Abel with a necklace, kissed by him on the stage, and returned to the stage together holding hands under the cheers and applause of so many people.
She leaned over and stole a glance at Abel, where she noticed that he was smiling and talking to the others next to her.
It's so pretty!
This guy.
She thought to herself.
She didn't know what to do with it now, and wanted to shake off Abel's hand, but the necklace around her neck still had that comfortable feeling of her heart beating faster.
So that this very literary French girl can't do it at all. But if she didn't shake off Abel's hand, when she thought of her boyfriend in Europe, she felt a little cheating, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Right now.
She decided to take it one step at a time.
Go according to your own heart first.
And thanks to her blessing, Luc Besson, who has always been only in the outer circle, also joined this inner circle with a smile at this time, playing the role of a cheer on the side.
On the auction table, Franck MΓΌller is still faithfully carrying out his work. And the auction has reached the fifth, which is the venue of this auction tonight, this is a very rare penthouse on Fifth Avenue in New York, which is a top mansion with three floors connected together, with a stunningly wide loft and sky garden.
"Our fifth lot is the place where we are standing now! Crown Loft! Its magnificence and location, I don't need to introduce it, everyone should know it. β
"Its floor price is $50 million, and the price increase is $2 million for a ......."
"Let's get started!"
ββ¦β¦β
Following the auctioneer's words, Sophie Marceau, who had been looking down to admire the necklace around her neck and hiding her nervousness, couldn't help but raise her head and look at the auction table.
This is also an auction item?
She looked at this dream house that could see the starry sky above the sky and look down on the steel jungle Manhattan, and her heart was a little excited.
But as soon as I heard about the reserve price of 50 million US dollars, my excitement immediately cooled down again.
$50 million.
She doesn't even have $2 million!
Then.
A man's magnetic mellow voice came from the side, and after raising the price twice in a row, the price had come to 54 million US dollars, and he said:
"$56 million!"
Sophie Marceau's eyes flashed.
Looking up at the young man next to him with some surprise, I saw him smiling at the stage, not caring under the gaze of everyone. As if noticing that he was looking at him, he turned his head to look at himself and smiled at himself, Sophie Marceau's heart racing.
If he bought the house.
Does that mean I can live here too?
And also...... He's an Angelenite, so why did he buy it? Does it show that I like it here?
She couldn't help but think.
This.
Sophie Marceau thought too much.
Abel actually likes it here, and he also found out through the small wrecking ball that 20 years later, the Crown Loft will be sold for $300 million outside, and money can't buy it......
Anyway, he estimates that he will come to New York often in the future, and it is not good to stay in a hotel all the time, and it is also excellent to have a place to stay here.
It can also be used as an investment.
Although there are no other investments to make money.
After he bids.
There was no one to compete with him.
Actually, this is normal. It's 1990, and that group of Internet upstarts hasn't risen yet, and New York doesn't have that much new money.
The rich New Yorkers at this time.
They are more interested in the townhouses near Central Park, the single-family kind.
This kind of luxury penthouse is not as popular as it will be in the future. It will not be until the rise of the Internet upstarts, who like to chase this kind of top-floor flat, that the price of such a house will gradually rise, even overshadowing many townhouses.
In the next 30 years, Internet technology will change the world and create many new upstarts. They are different from the old money who value industry, and the upstarts are more willing to spend money.
After Abel paid $56 million, the Crown Loft belonged to him, and no one competed with him.
He bought the place.
"Congratulations, Mr. Sephorosa!" Hamilton shook hands with a smile as the hammer fell.
"Oh, I love it here. So I bought it. Abel smiled and shook hands with this high-level Gao Sheng, who had given him face just now.
"Hey, it's not far from where I live, maybe I can come and visit me later!" said Lampett, unwilling to be lonely.
"It's so beautiful here. Luc Besson said immediately.
Little Flying Shoes smiled and congratulated Abel: "Congratulations, Mr. Sefrosa." It's going to be a good home, and this is Manhattan, so it's going to be a good investment. β
"Haha! Thank you. β
Abel said with a smile.
But now he was a little curious.
What are you doing here? Lampett is a New Yorker himself and lives in the neighborhood.
And the base camp of Little Flying Shoes is far away in Texas, and before he came to power, the relationship with Wall Street was also average.
What did he come to New York for?
Hamilton's face isn't big enough to reach him, right?
