Chapter 152 - 152: A Sky-High Price of 500 Million
"100 million euros!" The owner of Room 02 seemed to be protesting Fang Jueyu's sweeping auction behavior. Being the underground Emperor of all Europe, many of his businesses might not see the light of day, yet the profit margins were eye-popping. 100 million euros was just a small number to him.
Atom's assistant had just brought back news. Although they couldn't find out who was in Room 01, it was said to not be someone from the Ladinic Family.
It made sense; the Ladinic Family's business, though vast, had never reached into Asia and had no dealings with Huaxia people. The owner of Room 01 was obviously a Huaxia person. How could he possibly be related to the Ladinic Family?
But Atom wasn't a fool. Since the Rothschild family gave the room belonging to the Ladinic Family to them, this bastard from Huaxia was definitely no small fry.
"Could it be Huaxia's military?" Atom knew that many countries had sent military representatives this time to compete for those items, and Huaxia's re
"Could it be? Is it him again?"
"If he's here, what are we bidding on? It's just a show for him!"
Many who attended the auction years ago where Fang Huai was present were getting nervous. That person's wealth was an unknown quantity. A rough estimate suggested he spent at least 80 billion US dollars in that auction, a figure that could scare people to death.
"Is there anyone else willing to offer more? Going once!" Scarlett was very satisfied with this price and guessed there wouldn't be a higher bid.
"Going twice!"
"Hold on, I bid 250 million euros!" The owner of Room 02 once again quoted a staggering price.
"300 million euros!" Fang Jueyu wasn't afraid of competitors, only afraid of no competition!
Atom didn't really want the painting, but he certainly wouldn't allow Fang Jueyu to win it easily. This way, Fang Jueyu would be taught a warning and a lesson by spending more unjustified money.
He simply didn't know that for Fang Jueyu, the more expensive the better. Atom's actions were helping Fang Jueyu spend money. If he knew Fang Jueyu was inwardly thrilled, he might have felt like smashing the table.
"Do you dare bid higher?" Atom's smile widened. "350 million!"
"400 million!"
"450 million!"
"500 million!"
"It's actually reached 500 million! An astronomical price, absolutely astronomical!"
"Just how much money does he have? Isn't this his limit?"
...
Fang Jueyu's previously slight smile had also turned grim. He did want to spend more money, but he didn't want to be seen as a fool. Atom's intentions were clear: he wanted Fang Jueyu to bleed money heavily!
"Colt, who is the person next door in Room 02?" Fang Jueyu asked.
"It's Atom, the supreme ruler of Europe's underground forces," Colt replied. He could tell Fang Jueyu was a bit angry. "Master, shall I send someone to give him a warning?"
Atom's power was formidable, but it was insignificant in front of the Ladinic Family.
"No rush, I want to see what more tricks he can play!" Fang Jueyu squinted; anyone who took advantage of him had never had a good outcome.
The painting was ultimately sold for 500 million euros, and Scarlett was grinning ear to ear. She earned 32 million euros, more than three times her commission already!
"Congratulations to the owner of Room 01 for successfully acquiring this rare treasure. Now, let's present the next auction item!"
A platform draped with red silk was pushed up; it held an exquisitely detailed bronze dog head statue.
All the wealthy attendees from Huaxia held their breath. After waiting so long, this item was finally being presented!
"Buy it, no matter what, we must acquire it!" Fang Jueyu clenched his fists; this was not just an artifact, it symbolized the dignity of Huaxia, something that couldn't be measured with money alone!
