Murdoch really couldn't figure it out, he hadn't had in-depth dealings with Ellison in the past, and there was no conflict of interest between the two, so why couldn't Ellison, a madman, get along with him like a mad dog this time?

Sure enough, he was a madman, and Murdoch, who couldn't figure it out, couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Wendi Deng couldn't understand why this Ellison had to not go over, looking at Ellison, who was as excited as a cockfight, Wendi Deng was angry and a little puzzled: Doesn't this madman know what the consequences of offending the media will be? He is not afraid that his personal privacy will be exposed by the media? Isn't he afraid that the media will pour dirty water on him out of nothing and slander his character, morality, and credit? You must know that in Western society, a businessman's morality, character and credit are highly valued, and these three elements constitute the basic factors of Western social contract theory.

Can't figure it out, right? Ellison was a little complacent, just if he didn't understand, if he even made you figure out what I was thinking, then what else would I do?

Zhang Lan felt happy in her heart, looking at Deng Wendi's angry face biting her lip, Zhang Lan felt a burst of comfort in her heart, for anyone, seeing someone who didn't deal with her was undoubtedly an extremely pleasing thing.

Now Murdoch and Wendi Deng are quite difficult to ride a tiger in their hearts.

According to their previous thoughts, as long as the Van Gogh painting does not exceed 80 million US dollars, it can be acquired, if it is according to the current auction price of 68 million US dollars, this price does not seem outrageous, and it is completely possible to take this Van Gogh work at the 80 million US dollar mark.

But that's not how it works, and there's certainly nothing wrong with continuing to increase the price, but the crux of the matter is, who knows if Ellison's madman will continue to go crazy with himself after $80 million? Now the competition for Van Gogh's painting is not an ordinary auction event, and it has even risen to the level of competition between the dignity of the two.

At this moment, Wendi Deng finally regretted a little in his heart, regretting that he shouldn't buy this painting. But no matter what you think, the "competition" between the two will continue, and in the blink of an eye, the price of this painting has crossed the $70 million mark and reached the $72 million seat.

"Mrs. Murdoch, do you want to continue to compete? The price of 72 million US dollars, although I can't say that it is expensive, I think this painting is worth the price, but ......"

The two are not far apart, and this guy Ellison is now playing psychological warfare.

Although Ellison didn't say the following words, everyone understood the meaning of Murdoch's words, especially Wendi Deng, whose face changed even more, but what? Of course, "But whether it affects you or not, I can't say for sure." What do you mean by that? Isn't it a naked sarcasm that her husband's financial resources are not as good as his Ellison?

Hearing Ellison's words, not only Wendi Deng's face changed, for these billionaires, although wealth to this extent is just a symbol for them, 10 billion US dollars and 20 billion US dollars are not too different, but being slapped in the face naked like this, ten people can't stand it, not to mention that they are still the person with a head and a face?

No matter how much it costs, the painting must be taken down, and Murdoch made a decision in his heart: this is no longer a question of money, it is a matter of his own face.

But the other guys who had dealt with this guy Ellison nodded secretly: This is the style of this madman, just now I wondered why this guy is so elegant and pretends to be a civilized person, and his feelings are like this.

With Ellison's agitation, the anger between Murdoch and Wendi Deng was suddenly full, and they were bound to earn back face. The other rich people who participated in the competition for this painting also gave up quite tacitly, and let these two madmen keep adding the price: You two madmen are fighting, we can't afford to mess with it, bring a small bench to the side and watch the excitement, right? In other words, the excitement of throwing out nearly 100 million US dollars is really rare these days.

Since both sides are angry, the price of this painting has naturally risen wildly, and it is quickly approaching the $90 million mark.

"Since Mr. Murdoch likes this painting so much, there is a saying in China that 'a gentleman does not win the love of others', and since this is the case, then this painting will be given to Mr. Murdoch." When Wendi Deng opened his mouth again and called the price of 90 million US dollars, Ellison, the madman, suddenly said with a grin. ,

What? This guy doesn't even play anymore? To give it to yourself? Murdoch and Wendi Deng, who were in the heat of their heads, heard Ellison's words, and suddenly felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and their heads, which were too hot, instantly cooled down. What is the nature of this guy Ellison, everyone naturally does not know, to put it bluntly, this guy is a complete madman, a madman suddenly becomes sensible, what does this mean?

The two looked at each other, and the same word flashed in their eyes: there must be a conspiracy

At this time, everyone is not stupid, on the contrary, one by one, they are all human spirits, who doesn't know that Murdoch and his little wife were played by Ellison's madman? Considering the nature of this auction, what could have been won for only $65 million to $70 million ended up being "ceded" to Murdoch for $90 million? If you want to let it, you don't let it early, but you only let it go when the bid is 90 million US dollars when people are raising the bar with you? 90 million US dollars, Murdoch has been a big wronged man this time

Could it be that there is some secret between Ellison and Murdoch that they don't know? The rich are also people, and seeing Ellison's obvious revenge on Murdoch's digging of the pit, the fire of gossip in the hearts of the rich suddenly burned: This is big news, and I have never heard of a dispute between Murdoch and Ellison? Could it be ......

The lewd and evil gaze of the rich swept between Ellison and Wendi Deng like a radar: Could it be ...... Uh-huh, yes, it must be like this, Ellison must be this guy taking revenge on Murdoch and Ellison, otherwise...... Well, there's no reason at all

In an instant, these idle rich people have written countless possibilities for the relationship between Murdoch, Wendi Deng, and Ellison:

Wendi Deng turned out to be Ellison's woman, but was robbed of love by the old man Murdoch?

Wendi Deng turned out to be Ellison's woman, but she won Murdoch's arms in exchange and gave Ellison, a guy who has always had super self-esteem, a certain green hat?

Wendi Deng originally stepped on the two boats of Ellison and Murdoch, but finally switched to Murdoch's arms, so Ellison, a guy with super self-esteem, felt that he was insulted, so he deliberately flaged Murdoch and Wendi Deng at this time?

Wendi Deng and Ellison were already preparing to get married, but before getting married, Ellison accidentally found that the woman he loved didn't love him, and after a series of investigations, Ellison found out that Wendi Deng, a cheap woman, was secretly sent by the old guy Murdoch, in order to rob his property. After that, Ellison hated Wendi Deng from love to hatred, so he took this opportunity to take revenge on Wendi Deng today?

…………

………

I have to admit that the human association's ability is really amazing, but in this short period of less than half a minute, these guys have thought of so many possibilities, and one by one it sounds so reasonable, of course, the most important thing is that one is more outrageous than the other.

Of course, compared with those guys who were burning with the fire of gossip, Murdoch and Wendi Deng, who understood that they had been tricked, suddenly became ugly.

Especially when they saw those gossip-filled eyes that kept sweeping between themselves, their husbands and Ellison, the anger in the hearts of Wendi Deng and Murdoch was even more uncontrollable. What made Murdoch and Wendi Deng even more depressed was that after being cheated for so much, they had to swallow this bitter fruit hard

The price was set by himself, and no one forced himself, although he understood that he was following the way of Ellison, a madman, this time, but regretted it? One can't afford to lose this person, and the other, if he really does this, what will happen if he offends Alice, a woman, even Murdoch himself doesn't dare to think about it.

"Since Mr. Ellison is willing to give up his love, then I will be disrespectful."

Murdoch reacted quickly, and after hearing Ellison's words, he gritted his teeth and said, just looking at Ellison's gaze, it was very unkind.

Of course, Ellison didn't care about this little thing, he seemed to be unaware of Murdoch's sarcasm, smiled and arched his hands, with a polite and sincere face, "Mr. Murdoch is polite, taking care of friends is my favorite thing to do, I hope to be friends with Mr. Murdoch this time." ”,

Disgusting people are not so disgusting

This guy is such a lunatic, a complete lunatic

In an instant, Ellison was labeled with such a label.

Facing the eyes of everyone "labeling", Ellison didn't care, all these years of shopping mall career told him that a person who rolls around in the mall has a reputation that is not too "kind", and the label of a "madman" is enough to make those who plan to cooperate with him think carefully before cooperating about how serious the consequences of offending a madman will be if they hold the idea of pitting themselves.

The staff quickly put away this famous Van Gogh painting from a famous museum in France and handed it over to Murdoch and Wendi Deng, but at this moment, instead of the joy and pride they had when auctioning off the next famous painting in the past, the two seemed to be holding a red-hot soldering iron in their hands, eager to throw it away immediately.

After watching such a wonderful play, the following auction seems to be a little boring, although everyone is not short of money in their pockets, but a rich man who participates in the auction can't help but look at the Ellison guy carefully every time they bid, lest this madman suddenly come out coldly and compete with himself, and then pat his ass and leave in a dashing manner, and after the end, he also dropped a sentence "'Gentlemen don't take people's love', since you like this painting, then let it be given to you" and other words that can make people angry.

Fortunately, although Ellison is called a madman, he is not called a fool after all, and he also knows what the consequences will be if he offends too many people.

Halfway to kill the role of Cheng Biting Gold, it is not liked.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"How's that, like it?" At the dinner, Ellison and Zhang Lan, two embarrassed guys, got together, and Ellison showed off to Zhang Lan proudly and shamelessly.

"What is this, if it were me, I would fly directly with this guy again, and if I didn't take out 100 million from this guy's pocket, it would definitely not be too late" Zhang Lan couldn't see this guy's pride, and couldn't help but take a look at this guy.

"Damn" Ellison learned from Zhang Lan and burst into foul language, she didn't expect that she was shameless enough, but this guy dared to be even more shameless than herself

"What kind of people are these," Ellison yelled as if he was constipated, and learned a "famous saying" he had just learned from Zhang Lan: "I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen you so shameless." ”

"Thank you," Zhang Lan arched slightly gentlemanly, "Tolstoy said that shamelessness is the pass of the noble, and meanness is the epitaph of the shameless." ”

"Huh? Did Tolstoy say this? Ellison, who was fooled by Zhang Lan, scratched his head, always feeling that although this sentence was somewhat familiar, it didn't seem to be what he said.

"Of course," Zhang Lan's face did not change, "Is this sentence of your American drama very familiar, I have advised you to read more books before, otherwise you will be despised by others." ”

Should I really read more books? Looking at Zhang Lan, who had a serious face and was full of sincerity in his eyes, Ellison couldn't help but believe it in his heart, thinking so.

Zhang Lan snickered twice: Ya, I won't kill you if I fool you

"'Shamelessness is the passport of the noble, meanness is the epitaph of the shameless,' did Tolstoy say this," Ellison, who was wandering around the banquet with a glass of wine, muttered this sentence in his mouth, and suddenly saw an acquaintance, hurriedly grabbed the acquaintance, and quietly asked him.

"Shamelessness is the pass of the noble, meanness is the epitaph of the shameless?" The rich man who was asked this sentence was obviously not a scholar who thought he was knowledgeable, so the rich man's face was confused at the moment, "I don't know? Could it be that Mr. Tolstoy really said this? But...... Sounds reasonable. ”

"I'm going" Ellison was suddenly depressed, quite reasonable? Don't I know that there is truth to this? Can...... These days, it is really difficult to find a knowledgeable, cultivated and educated person.

"Shamelessness is the passport of the noble, meanness is the epitaph of the shameless? Who said that? Ellison's mouth was full of words, and he kept muttering.

"If I'm not mistaken, this sentence must have been uttered by a modern Chinese poet, as if the poet's name was Beidao." A voice rang abruptly in Ellison's ears. ,

"Huh?" Does anyone really know the origin of this sentence? Ellison was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly turned his head to look, but found that there was a black-eyed and black-haired Chinese standing next to him, and this sentence officially came out of his mouth. Is it Chinese? Ellison grabbed the guy's hand, "Oh, may I ask this gentleman, are you sure you know the source of this sentence?" Uh, what do you call this gentleman? ”

This last sentence was uttered by Ellison when he realized that his actions just now were not very polite, and all the people who could appear in this place were super-rich people worth more than $1 billion, so it was always right to be polite.

Ellison's move was relatively rude, but this person didn't mind at all, nodded, and first introduced himself, "Hello, Mr. Ellison, it's a pleasure to meet you, I am Huang Guangyu, chairman of China's largest home appliance chain." Yes, I have heard this sentence in a poem by Mr. Kitajima, a famous modern poet of our country. ”

That's right, this guy is Lao Huang, for Huang Guangyu, the CEO of Gome Group, as the head of the largest home appliance chain hypermarket in China, Lao Huang is of course qualified to come in to participate in this banquet, for Lao Huang, this time to be able to participate in Alice's private belongings auction, not only a charity event, but also an excellent opportunity to meet more people and broaden their business channels.

Lao Huang is naturally no stranger to Ellison, a legendary figure in the world business field, just listening to Ellison's mouth constantly muttering, Lao Huang immediately realized that his opportunity to meet the world's top richest man has come, and the words he muttered in his mouth are an excellent opportunity.

"Mr. Huang, is it true?" Ellison's expression was suddenly shocked: Okay, you kid is also wrong, see how I can make you embarrassed for a while.

"Yes," Lao Huang nodded, "but the original words of this poem are not like this, but 'meanness is the pass of the despicable, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble'." ”

"What? Meanness is the pass of the mean, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble? As soon as Lao Huang said this, Ellison couldn't help but be stunned, and whispered Lao Huang's words in his mouth, chewed it, and then realized that it was not Zhang Lan who said this sentence wrongly, but this kid said it on purpose.

"Stinky boy, dare to fool me, I'm not done with you," Ellison yelled, and by the way, he also used a brand new "foreign word" that Zhang Lan had just taught him: flickering.
