ABCFWGR Chapter 47: Tie Them All Up
Chen Wantai's eye twitched, unable to muster a smile.
The applause sounded like slaps to his face, stinging!
He knew most of these claps were mocking and gloating, people enjoying his misfortune, with only a few genuinely congratulating him.
No, Ouya's applause must be genuine.
In the end, her commission soared like a rocket, making her the biggest winner.
"Who's behind this, scheming against me?"
Chen Wantai burned with anger, his face as sour as if he had eaten shit again.
"Dad, you've spent so much money to buy the painting, you've already saved face. Don't worry about who did it." Chen Yuwei advised earnestly, fearing her father might do something irrational.
Li Junjie's heart was bleeding too. He had brought out a billion just to show off, expecting to borrow at most twenty or thirty million, but now he had to borrow over sixty million.
"He's really an old fool!"
"The key is, he's not content and still wants to provoke the big shots in Box 3. Why doesn't he just go die?"
In his heart, Li Junjie cursed Chen's ancestors to the eighteenth generation and hurriedly advised, "Uncle Chen, what Yuwei said makes sense. We don't need to spend money unnecessarily and offend more people, it's not worth it!"
Their combined persuasion had some effect after all.
"Alright, alright, I just casually asked."
Chen Wantai waved impatiently, insincerely saying, "Let's end this matter here."
Chen Yuwei and Li Junjie both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now, let's welcome the next set of items."
Ouya's sweet voice rang out again, and the big screen displayed the actual pictures of two bottles of wine.
Seeing the picture on the screen, Chen Wantai suddenly widened his eyes, and his body stiffened for a moment.
"Dad?"
Chen Yuwei asked with a questioning look.
"It's nothing, I must have been mistaken. It's impossible," Chen Wantai said, but turned around and started searching through the crowd.
At the same time, Ouya's voice came in: "Yes, this is the long-awaited Dragon and Tiger Wine. I suppose I don't need to introduce its effects, right?"
"Just like its name suggests, it can instantly invigorate a man!"
Ouya playfully blinked her eyes.
Someone chimed in, "As the saying goes, when men drink it, women can't handle it; when women drink it, men can't handle it; when both drink it, the bed can't handle it, haha!"
Many people chuckled knowingly.
Especially several older men, whose laughter was particularly indecent, revealing their lewdness.
"Alright, the starting bid for the Dragon and Tiger Wine is fifty million, with each bid not less than five hundred thousand."
Ouya smiled and gestured for the bidding to begin.
The numbers on the big screen surged like a breaking dam, almost breaking through the one billion mark in the blink of an eye.
The reaction was several times greater than that caused by the Spring Rain painting.
Why do people make money?
To a large extent, it's for pleasure.
And the Dragon and Tiger Wine, built upon pleasure, offers you assistance. Who wouldn't want that?
Almost frenzy!
"If only I had known earlier, why bother at the beginning?" Gu Chen muttered.
Downstairs, Gu Chen had seen Chen Wantai's ugly side and knew why he was in a hurry.
"Could it be that the Dragon and Tiger Wine is also related to you?" Liu Hanyan blinked curiously.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the gift I gave to Chen Wantai at the beginning." Gu Chen explained briefly.
"Usually, a couple of ounces could fetch tens of millions, but now it's two whole bottles. It's likely to fetch a sky-high price. Won't he regret it?" Liu Hanyan said, astonished and sympathetic.
Astonished because of Gu Chen's generosity, sympathetic because Chen Wantai was about to regret it.
At this moment, the numbers on the big screen kept jumping.
150 million!
230 million!
380 million!
...
It wasn't until 470 million that there was a slight pause.
Sure enough, in the eyes of the wealthy, money was just a string of cold numbers.
If it were loose, it wouldn't cause a frenzy, let alone fetch such a high price.
But with two whole bottles, the effect was incomparable, it could easily fetch a fortune that would last for decades.
Enough to make countless tycoons sigh with envy.
Smoothly surpassing the five hundred million mark.
"Ah!"
"A whopping five billion!"
Chen Wantai, in agony, held his head and stood up abruptly, walking away with a fierce momentum.
"Dad, where are you going?" Chen Yuwei was startled and hurriedly asked.
But Chen Wantai seemed not to hear, his eyes were red, as if he could devour someone, and he walked straight towards the seats in the middle row.
"Li Daqing, you beast, cheating me with the Dragon and Tiger Wine, I'll fight you!"
It was Li Daqing, who was feeling pleased with himself. When he saw the bidding, he couldn't close his mouth. Suddenly, he heard this shout and couldn't help but shiver.
"Old... Old Chen? Don't get excited, let me explain... Ah..."
"Oh no! He's hitting someone! Where are the security guards? Come and protect me, stop this madman!"
Li Daqing covered his eye which had been punched, and fled frantically, shouting for help.
Chen Wantai pointed at his figure and cursed, "Are you even human? We've had a friendship for so many years, you recognized the Dragon and Tiger Wine but didn't tell me, and even took my wine away. I'll kill you, you bastard!"
"Stop spouting nonsense, it's you who were going to discard it, and I took it. How can you say I cheated? You're the one at fault for blinding yourself and blaming me, you bastard!" Li Daqing cursed as he ran.
One cursed the other as inhuman, while the other cursed him as a blind dog.
The whole hall was in chaos.
Chen Yuwei couldn't stop them at all, and Chen Wantai was already in a rage, with no way to calm him down.
In the VIP box upstairs.
Liu Hanyan was almost laughing her head off. "Gu Chen, where do you meet these extraordinary people?"
"Just watch, daring to cause chaos on the scene, they'll suffer the consequences. Do they really think Ouya is easy to deal with?"
"Do you know that auctioneer?" Gu Chen asked in surprise.
Liu Hanyan said, "When I was in the capital, I met her a few times, not very familiar, but privately, everyone calls her the little witch. You can imagine her temper."
At the same time.
The security guards arrived in time and quickly captured Chen Wantai, tying him up tightly with ropes like a pig.
Ouya signaled for the auction to pause and walked down from the stage, looking angry. "Which family in Lin'an are you from? Who gave you the courage to make a scene at the auction I'm managing?"
Chen Wantai didn't care about her being an auctioneer at all, and said stubbornly, "You'd better let them loosen me up, or I won't let you off."
Ouya's face immediately darkened.
"Smack!"
She slapped him hard across the face.
"Dad!"
Chen Yuwei exclaimed in shock, rushing over and loudly questioning, "How dare you hit someone?"
"Just because he disrupted the order of the scene and affected my mood!"
Ouya pushed Chen Yuwei away aggressively, saying coldly, "Tie them both up for me. Without my permission, no one is allowed to release them."
"After the auction is over, I'll settle the score with them properly!"
With that, she turned around and ignored the two of them.
And until Chen Yuwei was also tied up, Li Junjie seemed to evaporate from the earth, nowhere to be seen.
