Chapter 1792: Don't Sprout
Chapter 1792: Don't show up
For Buffett and Helu, the two guys who are like children, Zhang Lan laughed in her heart: the two of them are almost 150 years old, and they are still fighting like children for the amount of pocket money in whose pocket? Well, it's just a little bit more pocket money.
"Childish." A voice that had been weakened by the space and was already small enough to be heard just came into Zhang Lan's ears.
Who is this? How dare you comment on these two super-rich people who are ranked second or third in the world, at least recognized by ordinary people? Zhang Lan was suddenly very curious in her heart, and couldn't help but look back.
A familiar face caught Zhang Lan's eyes.
How could it be her? Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment, and then felt funny, this woman's husband Murdoch received an invitation, as his husband's assistant in business, it is not surprising that Wendi Deng is a woman here, but what makes Zhang Lan feel a little curious is that Wendi Deng is a woman who has no love for rich people all over the world? Otherwise, how could he dare to speak so unceremoniously to Buffett and Helu, two people who are far more financially powerful than her husband?
Thinking of the "grievances" between herself and Wendi Deng, Zhang Lan shook her head helplessly: It is really embarrassing to meet such a woman in such a place, and to worry about her? Tedi lost his face, what would he say if this word was spread? What is the point between a man and a woman?
Can Wendi Deng be so tormented? If this woman really makes trouble for herself, then she is really not very easy to deal with.
Deng Wendi's voice was not small, and many people in the hall heard Deng Wendi's voice.
Who's this? With curiosity in their hearts, many people looked in the direction from which the voice came.
It turned out to be her? Looking at Wendi Deng, who was sitting next to Murdoch, many people shook their heads helplessly, this woman is simply a mad dog, maybe she will rush over and bite you, but if you really care about her? It's a bit of a loss of face, and it's not good to spread out.
Murdoch doesn't feel like an idiot, of course he can feel the eyes of the rich people around him, Murdoch is slightly dissatisfied with his Chinese wife's behavior, and glances at her lightly, Murdoch is still very satisfied with his Chinese wife, this shrewd woman has become his inseparable assistant in his career, but this woman's sometimes unreasonable behavior also gives Murdoch a headache.
Seeing her husband's gaze, Deng Wendi gave an apologetic look, but when she saw Zhang Lan frowning not far away, Deng Wendi's heart was full of happiness: That's right, Deng Wendi's words just now were deliberate, and she did this to sweep Zhang Lan's face.
In fact, seriously speaking, even Deng Wendi himself doesn't know why he is so disgusted with Zhang Lan, sometimes Deng Wendi thinks about it, he and the Zhang family have not had any intersection in the past, and they have never had any dealings, and they hate him so much, it seems that there is no reason at all, but the exchanges and relationships between people sometimes really have no reason to talk about, just like the grievances between himself and Zhang Lan.
If you have to find a reason, then you can probably only blame this kid for being too lucky, right? Why did he have to pay such a huge price for all this he had obtained, and all this kid had without him paying any price? It's not fair
Yes, it's unfair At this moment, Wendi Deng suddenly realized why he looked at Zhang Lan so unpleasantly: compared with himself, Zhang Lan, this kid, is like God's illegitimate child, and has been favored and even favored by the whole world, and countless people care about him to every pore, and his own? What do you have, and what does it cost you to have?
It's a pity that Zhang Lan doesn't know what Wendi Deng is thinking at this moment, otherwise he would definitely shout in his heart: You crazy woman, do you know that reincarnation is also a major technical job in these years?
The auction was not delayed because of Wendi Deng's small interruption, Buffett and Helu were able to reach today's position, and naturally they would not be so careless with a woman, and the auction was progressing in an orderly manner according to the previous arrangement.
An hour later, Alice's first private helicopter and a motorcycle hand-painted by Alice were also auctioned off one after another, compared with the previous auction items, the helicopter and hand-painted motorcycle auctioned this time, although the value of the previous necklace and tiltrotor was not as good as the previous necklace and tiltrotor, but given that these two items condensed Alice's great efforts, it was also auctioned at a very high price. ,
"Are you still haunted by what happened to Wendi Deng just now?" Looking at Zhang Lan, who was pursing her lips lightly, Xiao Chenxi, who was sitting next to Zhang Lan, asked softly.
"Hmm." In front of Alice, she naturally didn't need to hide anything, Zhang Lan nodded, and did not deny it.
"Do you want me to help you vent?"
"Forget it," although Xiao Chenxi's proposal was very tempting, after thinking about it, Zhang Lan still decided to give up, "It's just another time, but this time it's our boss anyway." ”
Xiao Chenxi nodded lightly, it is true, if it is in other places, then it doesn't matter what you do anyway, but now it is on your own territory, no matter what, Deng Wendi still came to cheer for herself, if she did that, it was not her Deng Wendi's people who lost, but her own people.
But just let Deng Wendi go? Not only Xiao Chenxi was unwilling, but even Zhang Lan was unwilling in her heart.
In Zhang Lan's heart, there is no stereotypical dogma such as "men don't beat women", for Zhang Lan, even if it is a woman, when it is time to fight, she will never be soft, just because you are a woman, you can not be punished if you do something wrong? Why? Who do you think you are? Relying on being a woman, she thinks she can do whatever she wants, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world
It's just that how to clean up this crazy woman still needs to be thought through. Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi glanced at each other, and their eyes showed the same meaning.
"12 million" A familiar voice suddenly came into Zhang Lan's ears.
Well? Zhang Lan was stunned: This voice is very familiar, although it is said in English, why does it sound so much like the voice of Wendi Deng?
Looking up carefully, Zhang Lanle was happy: Hey, who is this not Wendi Deng? However, Wendi Deng would take the initiative to bid at this auction, which was a bit unexpected by Zhang Lan, originally Zhang Lan always thought that this woman would always make trouble for herself, who would have thought that this crazy woman would take care of her own business? But...... Zhang Lan couldn't help but wonder in her heart, what was it that made Wendi Deng, a woman, take the initiative to give up the "discord" between her and Alice Group and take the initiative to make an offer?
Just now, the two of them were muttering in their hearts about how to clean up Wendi Deng, but they forgot that now the auction has reached the auction of the next item. Looking at the auction item that was being displayed in front of the stage, Zhang Lan was a little strange, this is a work by Van Gogh, a famous painter in the eyes of Europeans.
To be honest, this picture is no different from a child's graffiti in Zhang Lan's opinion, but it was bought back by Alice at a foreign auction at a price of 20 million US dollars. The buyer happened to be killed in a plane crash while flying on a light private jet after the success of Mr. Art Thief, so the painting naturally fell into the hands of Mr. Art Thief.
Of course, Mr. Art Thief naturally didn't want this thing to be smashed in his hands, but unfortunately Mr. Thief made too much noise because of this incident, and contacted several collectors who had "business dealings" in the past, and they all expressed their disinterest in Van Gogh's work.
In fact, it's not that these collectors are not interested in this Van Gogh painting, Van Gogh's paintings are always a big hit in the collection, the real reason why these collectors are reluctant to take over this painting from the hands of this thief, these collectors want to use this way to lower the price, the art thief for this Van Gogh painting is 20 million US dollars, according to the heart, if it is based on the market price at the time, the price of this painting will exceed 50 million US dollars, The asking price of this thief is actually not high at all, anyone who takes the painting and waits for the wind to pass a little bit can immediately make a net profit of 30 million US dollars.
But the greed of these collectors naturally knows no bounds, and who doesn't want to buy more for the least amount of money? What's more, this thing is still a thief. Although he can make a net profit of $30 million as long as he takes it over and changes hands, if he can take it at a lower price, won't he make more?
Adhering to this idea, even some so-called collectors who are extremely greedy have offered this art thief a "high price" of 2 million US dollars.
$2 million? This price made the art thief so angry that he almost vomited $2 million? The cost of planning this operation alone is more than the $2 million, and the original $20 million sale has been the result of taking into account the tight wind now, you know, the unlucky buyer offered himself a high price of $30 million, $2 million? Don't bring such a burying person.
Fortunately, this guy didn't know how to contact Reeves, who was still in the United States, and tentatively offered Reeves a price of $20 million, Reeves didn't dare to be interested in these ghost-like things, but this didn't prevent him from knowing a little, these ghost-like things were very valuable, and in the end, after telling Alice, the painting finally came to Alice's hands for $20 million.
It is said that after hearing that the painting fell into Alice's hands for $20 million, those guys who had been desperately trying to lower the price before even regretted their intestines.
Zhang Lan doesn't think it's worth spending $20 million to buy such a painting, even if he doesn't appreciate these things, it's good to buy them back and wait for appreciation, it's nothing more than an investment, and the answer is the same, this painting has appreciated nearly three times in just three years, which can be regarded as a pocket money for Zhang Lan.
But this is not what makes Zhang Lan really strange, the crux of the problem is that Wendi Deng actually likes Van Gogh's paintings? Zhang Lan shook her head, looking incomprehensible.
Of course, Wendi Deng himself did not like Van Gogh, the reason why he wanted to buy this painting was because Murdoch was crazy about Van Gogh, but any Van Gogh painting, as long as it is allowed, Murdoch will buy it, since it is her husband's hobby, then Wendi Deng naturally has to be satisfied no matter what...... As long as you don't be slaughtered as a wronged leader.
"Maybe it's a good opportunity." Xiao Chenxi's eyes rolled a few times, and she muttered excitedly in Zhang Lan's ear, "Use this to teach that crazy woman a lesson?" ”
Zhang Lan nodded, sure enough, the hero saw the same thing, and he had the same idea in his heart just now.
In Zhang Lan's eyes, things are very simple, if she really succeeds, she can naturally teach Wendi Deng a hard lesson, even if she is not successful, it is nothing more than her own things, and there is nothing to lose. Since the cost of teaching people is so low, then fools don't do it.
12 million US dollars is definitely not the real price of this painting, as the market rises, this is not only understood by Zhang Lan, but also by Wendi Deng and Murdoch, it is no exaggeration to say that even if it is won at the current market of 60 million US dollars, after a few years of guarantee in his hands, this business is still a big profit.
This is naturally understood by other people, and after Wendi Deng shouted out a price of 12 million US dollars, a voice immediately sounded, "15 million US dollars." ”
"$20 million." This one is even more wealthy, and directly raised the price by 5 million US dollars. Having said that, there is really no one who can enter this place who is not a wealthy master.
The $20 million was just the price Alice had paid when she bought the collection, and everyone knew that the price had just begun.
"I'll pay $25 million." An arrogant voice suddenly sounded.
Who, this voice sounds annoying. Everyone looked in the direction from which the voice came from, and couldn't help but pout in unison: it turned out to be Ellison's madman.
Why was he also interested in this painting? Things can get a little tricky now. Seeing Ellison, who was looking at everyone with an arrogant face and a provocative expression of extreme inadequacy, Wendi Deng's face was not very good-looking.
What are madmen afraid of? Naturally, I am afraid of meeting a madman who is just as crazy as myself, or even crazier than myself.
Zhang Lan showed a knowing smile on her face, Ellison, this guy is interesting
Ellison was smug in his heart. Although he didn't know why Miss Alice suddenly let herself and Wendi Deng raise the price of that woman, this is not a matter that needs to be considered by himself, for Ellison, being able to take this opportunity to befriend Alice is what he wants to see the most, for Ellison, the master who can make a lot of money with any idea naturally needs to be good friends with himself, as for Wendi Deng's woman? Hey, what's the point
Starting from $20 million, the price of Van Gogh's "graffiti" began to rise all the way, and in just a short time, it has risen to the $50 million mark.
Even at the $50 million mark, Wendi Deng has no intention of giving up, just now Murdoch has expressed his attitude, since he has opened his mouth, then even if the price of this painting exceeds its current market price of $60 million, it can be won, and the final transaction price, as long as it does not exceed $80 million, there is no problem. ,
$80 million, that's a lot of people going crazy. Wendi Deng understands that if it is really sold at a price of 80 million US dollars, even if it is placed in his own hands to increase in value, but in three or five years, this painting will not want to earn back its capital.
But for this painting, Wendi Deng has an imperative attitude. The reason is very simple, this involves a matter of face, in any case, Murdoch is also the twenty-first super-rich person in the world, as the world's number one media tycoon, if he did not participate in the auction at the beginning, it would be fine, but since he participated in the auction of this painting at the beginning, then he can't lose face to his husband in any case.
But since the price has passed the $50 million mark, the price increase has been significantly lower, and the number of people participating in the bidding has also been significantly less.
When the price had been shouted to $68 million by Ellison, Wendi Deng was already secretly complaining in his heart, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: crazy
If it weren't for this madman who raised the bar with himself, in Wendi Deng's prediction, he would definitely be able to win this painting at a price of 60 million US dollars, so calculated, this painting will still be very profitable in the next few years, but...... Looking at the triumphant Ellison, Wendi Deng hated it: it was all because of this bastard
To this extent, everyone has seen that Ellison's madman doesn't know why he is separated from the woman Wendi Deng again, and the fire between the two can even burn the ceiling.
Murdoch also frowned, the development of things was greatly unexpected to him, he did not expect that it had become like this.
On the other hand, Ellison's guy is as arrogant as ever, and even in Murdoch's opinion, he doesn't forget to look at him with a defiant look.
Murdoch was suddenly depressed: I haven't offended you in the past, why are you so bad with me?
