Chapter 678: An all-or-nothing gamble of 70 million euros!
Chapter 678 70 million euros all-or-nothing!
……
"66 million euros!"
After hesitating for a long time, Eskenazi finally gritted his teeth and raised the bidding sign in his hand again and said loudly.
Looking at the stern expression on the old man's face, Liu Dong could also guess that this should be the other party's last fight, and the more he was at this time, the more he couldn't relax his vigilance!
"70 million euros!"
Although Liu Dong was beating the drum in his heart, the action of raising the card and the momentum of shouting the price were as crisp as ever.
Firmly staring at the expressionless young Chinese man in front of him, after trying for a while, Eskenazi could not get the slightest useful clue from the other party's face, and he didn't know if Liu Dong would follow if he added more.
"Forget it!"
As soon as these two words popped into his mind, the momentum accumulated in Eskenazi's heart suddenly plummeted, and he could no longer bring up the idea of bidding.
"I'm giving up, Mr. Liu, it seems that the collecting world will be the world of you young people in the future!" Eskenazi smiled in relief and stood up.
After holding the other party's hand that took the initiative to stretch out, Liu Dong said humbly: "Mr. has won the award, I still have too much to learn from you." ”
"Hehe, Liu, you Chinese are so modest! However, perhaps it is precisely because of this humility that your c, civilization can always continue!"
"Whoa......!"
The thunderous applause made the old and young people who were shaking hands at the moment seem to become the center of the entire hall.
And Mei Xue, who was standing beside Liu Dong at this moment, saw her lover standing in the center like the stars holding the moon, and a strong pride rose from her heart. and quickly spread throughout the body. That indescribable feeling was like an electric shock. The whole body is numb!
Of course, not everyone is happy, for example, the uncle and nephew Tanaka next to him treated Liu Dong coldly as always. It's just that no one cares about them at the moment.
Finally, as the auctioneer dropped the hammer, the finale of the auction, Picasso's famous painting "Portrait of Stein", was bought by Liu Dong for 70 million euros. Although this price is not among the top ten in the world, it will eventually be remembered by people all over the world who love collecting!
With the arrival of this painting, Liu Dong's fame is no longer limited to China.
"Welcome to this private auction by the Van Gaal family, which has now come to a successful conclusion. I've got dinner ready for you, please move to the second floor!" Van Gaal finally said in a loud voice as he walked to the middle of the living room.
Because it was now 7 o'clock in the evening, the hungry and worming crowd naturally welcomed Van Gaal's suggestion, but after all, the old man Eskenazi was almost seventy years old, although he was in good health, but his spirit became exhausted after a few hours, so at the end of the auction, he had a brief chat with Liu Dong and exchanged contact information with each other, and then got up and said goodbye!
The old man came here this time and got nothing. There are some reasons for this, so Liu Dong has been sending each other outside the gate with Van Gaal. Watch the car disappear into the darkness of the night before returning to the manor.
"Mr. Lord, can we trade now?"
"Hehe, don't worry, it's okay to be two days late!Let's go, Liu, now is the time to have fun, let's put all this annoying work aside and enjoy this wonderful night!" Eskenazi put his arm around Liu Dong's shoulders and said with a smile as he pulled him forward.
Hearing this, Liu Dong shook his head secretly, he always felt a little difficult to adapt to the thinking of foreigners.
However, it doesn't matter if you follow the local customs for a short time.
As Liu Dong, who spent 70 million euros to buy the finale lot, has undoubtedly become the biggest star at this banquet, whether he knows it or not, there is an endless stream of people who want to come up and pull relationships.
Although he doesn't like this kind of entertainment too much, he also knows that trying to broaden his network is good for himself and his career, so Liu Dong uses the communication skills he has cultivated in participating in various banquets for a year to deal with all the guests who come to the door.
In less than half an hour, Liu Dong has collected more than 20 business cards in his pocket.
But I don't know if it's an illusion, Liu Dong always feels an unspeakable pressure in his heart, and it is becoming heavier and heavier.
But the source of this pressure, Liu Dong is not too clear!
"Could it be them?"
Thinking of this, Liu Dong subconsciously looked at his uncle and nephew Tanaka who was always drinking by himself in the corner.
"That's not right!"
As the sense of uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, Liu Dong knew very well that this was a warning from his body's keen sixth sense. I think that in the beginning, in the capital, in Myanmar, this dangerous instinct saved his life twice.
Liu Dong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly urged the relics Yuanguang that had expanded to a radius of 500 meters with all his might, although this time it was the same as the previous times when Liu Dong explored, but Liu Dong did not dare to take back the relics Yuanguang again.
And at the same time as he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, large vans suddenly appeared in the area shrouded by the relics yuanguang, and these cars were all strong men who were fully armed and masked in black scarves.
Looking at the direction of these vehicles, it is not necessary to think about it to know that the only target worthy of their action is Van Gaal's estate in front of them.
After thinking about this clearly, Liu Dong's eyes suddenly became stern, and all kinds of thoughts in his mind flipped violently, he knew that if he didn't get out of this quagmire quickly, I was afraid that it would be really dangerous, after all, no matter how high his martial arts were, in the face of dozens of submachine guns and grenades, he could only flee for his life.
"That's the only way to do it!" After making up his mind in his heart, the expression on Liu Dong's face changed instantly, and his body suddenly became shaky.
"Xiaodong, what's wrong with you?" Mei Xue, who was standing beside Liu Dong, hurriedly supported his body and said with concern.
"It's okay, I drank too much wine just now, I'm just a little dizzy, it's okay!" Liu Dong said with a little drunken eyes.
'Pretending to be drunk' is the only way Liu Dong can think of in a hurry, otherwise he can only save himself!
"How can it be okay, why don't we go back first?" Mei Xue said hurriedly.
Of course, Liu Dong wanted to go back to the hotel, but now that the entire manor was surrounded by people, there was no time for him to get out of it now.
After nodding, Liu Dong said, "Mr. Lord, can I borrow your room to rest?"
"Of course!" Van Gaal nodded without hesitation.
His manor is nothing but a house, and the decoration of dozens of rooms is no worse than that of a five-star hotel luxury suite.
Soon, Van Gaal called an attendant, asked her to lead the way, and walked out with Mei Xue carrying Liu Dong.
At the moment of going out, Liu Dong turned his head to look at the gentlemen and ladies who were still unaware, and there was a look of apology in his eyes.
Now in this situation, he can only save himself and Mei Xue first, if he really catches these people, I am afraid that he will not know how he will die by then.
And he is not a saint, he has no obligation to risk his life to go to these strangers who have only known him for less than half a day, as for Van Gaal, Liu Dong can only say sorry!
Saving him can only attract the attention of those people outside to himself.
Always monitor the movement outside with the relics yuanguang, because these unknown militants want to deal with the bodyguards on the periphery of the manor first without alerting the guests at the banquet inside, so the speed of advancement has been affected!
However, this gave Liu Dong enough time to walk to the guest room on the third floor, and there were no monitoring facilities in the guest room, so Liu Dong had no scruples when he started.
After gently brushing the back of Mei Xue and the waitress next to her with their left and right hands, the two of them didn't snort, and almost simultaneously closed their eyes and passed out.
After putting Mei Xue on the bed first, Liu Dong turned around and picked up the maid who fell to the ground, about thirty years old, and put it in the big closet next to her, "I hope you are lucky enough to escape the catastrophe!"
After closing the wardrobe, Liu Dong was not in a hurry to leave, although he was not completely out of danger now, but as long as he was not pointed at by more than a dozen guns, coupled with the 360° all-round three-dimensional surveillance of the relics Yuanguang without dead ends, Liu Dong was not in the slightest danger.
And he was very curious, why did these highly trained militants come to Van Gaal's manor in a hurry? If they just wanted to rob money, Liu Dong believed that the bank vault was undoubtedly more suitable than here.
"Sure enough, the telephone lines have been cut, and there is no signal on the mobile phone! These people are well prepared!" Liu Dong said in his heart.
Originally, he was going to call the police, but now he has no chance.
Under the light of the relics, at this moment, the banquet hall where Yingge and Yan Dance was originally in chaos, facing nearly twenty armed men armed with automatic firepower, the bodyguards in the banquet hall were beaten into a sieve in an instant, of course, these people did not kill indiscriminately, and after killing a few people who were not afraid of death, they took the initiative to stop after controlling the order in the field.
It seems that they don't want to make a big deal out of it either.
"My dear lord, do you stand up on your own, or do you want me to pull you out!"
A sturdy young man with a hideous scar from the corner of his left eyebrow to his chin, about thirty years old, with black eyes and yellow skin and a distinctly East Asian appearance, sat down on a couch and said in a loud voice.
Van Gaal was not stupid, when he heard this, he knew that these people were coming prepared, and the target was him, so even if he hid, it was useless, so despite the reluctance and even fear in his heart, he stood up tremblingly.
"Good!"
The young man waved his hand, and the two masked men who were standing behind him strode over, grabbed Van Gaal's left and right hands, and dragged him towards the door.
"What do you want, if you want money, I can give you ......!" Van Gaal's promises kept coming, but the masked men were unmoved!
