Chapter 981: Shooting Yourself in the Foot
The Habsburgs were a large family with many branches, and even though the feudal dynasty had become a thing of the past, the various factions still maintained a struggle for power with each other, but from the throne to the patriarch.
The old butler Alfred knew it well, and naturally saw all these things, and it was what he had always done to have the opportunity to teach Josephine something, and to let the little girl learn more things.
Each is his own master, and he can only do these things for the master, and he will not miss an opportunity.
Even he treats Josephine as his own child, and naturally hopes that she will become more and more sensible.
Now seeing that Josephine seemed to have made her own decision, she naturally sat aside and stopped talking, but her eyes also glanced at Wu Di.
Compared with Josephine's vision of people, Alfred is naturally much higher, and there is actually a big difference between Easterners and Westerners in terms of aesthetics.
However, even Alfred has to say that Wu Di's appearance is really not very handsome, just ordinary, but this is not the reason for his attention.
Temperament, Wu Di's temperament, indifference, self-confidence, and even the chuckle on the corner of his mouth, giving himself a sense of déjà vu, yes, in the showroom in the castle, the important figures of the Habsburg family in the past generations will have their own oil portraits.
Among them were Rudolf I, but also Albrecht II, and even Charles V, and so on, even if they only left portraits, they could still feel their temperament.
And the feeling that Wu Di gave himself, although it was slightly inferior, definitely made people feel a kind of strength, not only the strength of the external forces, but also the strength of the heart.
Alfred suddenly felt that he had just let Josephine make his own decision, was it wrong!
Wu Di is indeed much more confident now, with Xu Zeduan's text message, although he didn't accept it, but he is always a strong backing, if he was still a little uneasy before, then now this emotion is naturally swept away.
Seeing that the blonde girl was looking at herself, Wu Di's eyes met it, and the eyes of this girl were full of anger, as if she had taken her love, and her heart was more certain.
Suddenly grinned and nodded at the girl.
Wu Di's smile directly ignited Josephine's powder keg.
"Damn, damn!" That man dared to smile at himself, this was an obvious provocation, he had just extinguished his competitive heart, but in the blink of an eye, he began to be angry again, he had to finish with him, even if he didn't get it, he couldn't make him feel better.
"Three hundred and eighty-two guests, forty-five million, for the first time!"
Auctioneer Wu Long was too excited, and his voice was slightly hoarse, which was simply an impossible problem for an auctioneer, after all, they relied on this mouth to eat, and what they paid attention to was that their voices were loud and strong.
Quickly picked up his water glass, smiled apologetically at the participants below, but did not blush, but said as if pulling a parent: "Forty-five million, my voice is terrified!" Ladies and gentlemen, are there any bids? ”
Josephine lowered her head, she didn't know how many times she had scolded Wu Di in her heart, because she was angry, even her breathing was a little short, her towering chest rose and fell, and she clenched the number plate in her hand hard.
"Forty-five million, the second time!" After a while, the auctioneer found that there was still no bidder, so he shouted again, and after three sounds, it was the final word, which means that there was only one last chance to ask before Wu Di took the hundred-year-old snow lotus into his pocket.
Seeing that no one was bidding again, the auctioneer Wu Long took a deep breath, looked at the foreign girl over there still with her head down, and finally shouted: "Forty-five million---! ”
The speed of speech was not fast, and the atmosphere was even more tense, and everyone was waiting for the moment when he dropped the hammer, and they all held their breath and stared at him.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Josephine's interpreter suddenly raised his hand and shouted, and then immediately asked in a low voice, because of his voice, he immediately attracted all the eyes of the audience, and when he heard his employer's words, his face was a little strange, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed.
"Forty-five million and one thousand!"
After a while, the audience immediately became noisy again, and some people even laughed out loud, raising the price by 1,000 yuan, which is simply impossible in a scene like this now, after all, it was all up to five million before.
Even the auctioneer was a little stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Forty-five million and one thousand?" After receiving the translator's nod of confirmation, the auctioneer could only speak: "One hundred and sixty-seven guests, bid four thousand five hundred and one thousand!" ”
"She's a troublemaker!" Ding Xiang immediately saw through the trick over there, turned his head and said to Wu Di, in the previous bidding process, this girl has been in a sluggish state, listening to the beating of five million amplitudes, it is like riding a roller coaster, and there seem to be countless bombs in her head, which are constantly detonated one by one.
Now that he finally came back to his senses, he realized that he was sweating profusely unconsciously, so he quickly wiped it with his hand, looked at Wu Di, and waited for his reaction.
Wu Di naturally knew Josephine's intentions, it was purely a troublemaker, but this kind of troublemaking was within the scope of the rules, and he unconsciously looked at the blonde girl and found that she was looking at herself, with a smug face, raising her neck.
In fact, Wu Di can also increase the price according to this rhythm, but this obviously has no meaning, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, raised his hand and raised his card: "Forty-six million!" ”
After speaking, he also reached out and made a 'please' gesture.
Sure enough, bidding immediately began: "Forty-six million and one thousand!" ”
Although Wu Di still looked indifferent, he couldn't always fall into this endless rhythm and be led by the nose.
"Forty-seven million!" Wu Di raised the price by one million again.
"Forty-seven million and one thousand!" The other party's reaction was faster, and it added another thousand yuan, and now everyone on the field, even if they have insufficient brains, can see that the two sides have begun to fight.
Wu Di just looked over there, the other party's situation was in full view, the current price was getting closer and closer to his bottom line, the 50 million in the bank card, and the money for the two JEEP cars had to be removed, although he could borrow from Xu Zeduan, but this was not what he wanted.
"Forty-seven million and one thousand! For the first time! The auctioneer's voice rang out.
But now Wu Di's reaction was to smile, and even put the number plate in his hand to his lap again, showing that he had no intention of bidding again.
As soon as Wu Di's appearance came out, Josephine was immediately stupid, now it is not a matter of money or not, there is no doubt that he can take pictures of this snow lotus, but after taking pictures, it will definitely cause a bad impact in the family, and even affect his father's face.
Moving stones to shoot herself in the foot, stealing chickens and rice, with a look of chagrin, she quickly turned her head to look at the housekeeper, Josephine looked flustered, Wu Di naturally saw it in her eyes, her performance was even said to have been guessed by herself before, and now it is so.
"Forty-seven million and one thousand, the second time!"
Josephine was really anxious, turned his head and even began to glare at Wu Di viciously, especially now that he showed a hateful smile again, his two fists clenched tightly, it is estimated that if there were not so many people in the middle, she would have rushed over to make a move.
