1366 Can’t Even Bear To Spend This Bit Of Money
Guan Hui’s eyes were filled with pride and vanity. After so many years, she could finally hold her head high in front of Qiao Xi. She wanted to snatch what Qiao Xi valued. Not to mention ten million, she was even willing to give up 100 million!
The next second, Gu Zheng said casually, “20 million.”
Everyone was instantly dumbfounded. Was this man so crazy? He directly increased the bid by ten million?
Huo Yuzhou was not to be outdone. “30 million.”
Everyone’s eyes were about to pop out as they held their breaths. To be honest, this violin was indeed very exquisite, but no matter how beautiful it was, it was just a violin. This violin should cost 500,000 yuan at most. Who knew that the two richest and most powerful men in the venue would fight like this?
Gu Zheng wanted to give it to Mrs. Gu, while Mr. Huo wanted to give it to Miss Guan. They both wanted to use this violin to make a beauty smile. This was understandable, but everyone did not expect the price to increase to 30 million.
With Gu Zheng’s strength, he would probably continue to raise the price. It seemed that these two would not give up so easily. They might see the most unbelievable price in history today.
Everyone held their breaths and focused their gazes on Gu Zheng. Time passed minute by minute, but Gu Zheng had no intention of raising the price.
The auctioneer also hesitated for a few seconds. Seeing that Gu Zheng did not raise the price, he started shouting, “30 million going once, 30 million going twice.” However, Gu Zheng still did not react.
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at him in disbelief. President Gu was giving up so easily?
Actually, it made sense. 30 million to buy a violin was too much of a loss. Even if he was rich, he could not be so willful!
When Huo Yuzhou saw this scene, his eyes were filled with mockery. It was only 30 million, yet Gu Zheng had already given up. It seemed that he was not sincere about Xi Xi. He was not even willing to spend this bit of money.
Bang!
The gavel fell, and the auctioneer announced loudly, “30 million sold. Congratulations, Mr. Huo, on bidding for this violin!”
Only then did everyone realize that the auction had ended. They all applauded and echoed. The fact that Huo Yuzhou could spend 30 million to buy this violin meant that he was telling everyone that he did not lack money. His status in the Brook family was unshakable. Otherwise, why would he spend 30 million to buy a violin without even blinking?
Gu Zheng glanced at Huo Yuzhou, then lowered his eyes and said to the person beside him in amusement, “I told you that I wouldn’t buy it. I was just raising the price.”
Qiao Xi: “…” 30 million just for a violin!
“If Huo Yuzhou had given up in advance, would you have really bought it?” Qiao Xi widened her eyes and looked at him.
“It’s just tens of millions. It doesn’t matter if I spend that sum of money. At the very least, it can make Mr. Huo unhappy. Moreover, I know my limits. This violin already belongs to Mr. Huo,” Gu Zheng said casually.
He really did not care about this bit of money. Moreover, 30 million was his estimate. Huo Yuzhou did not bid for this violin to give Guan Hui but to give Xi Xi. Otherwise, Huo Yuzhou would not have offered such a high price.
Although Huo Yuzhou was powerful in the Brook family, it was something he had obtained through many years of cautiousness. He had to carefully consider whether everything he did was worth it or not. This time, he had already thought of the minimum price in his heart. It was about 30 million.
Huo Yuzhou would not make a losing deal. He wanted to give the violin to Xi Xi in front of everyone. If Xi Xi accepted the violin, it would mean that she had forgiven Huo Yuzhou. The grudge between the two parties would be written off. If Xi Xi did not accept it, he would not lose his dignity. After all, he had forked out 30 million to promote himself. Everyone would sigh at his power.
Hence, Huo Yuzhou’s bottom line was 30 million. Once this price was exceeded, he would cut his losses in time.
Gu Zheng had seen through his thoughts, so he gave up on bidding when Huo Yuzhou raised the price of 30 million.
At this moment, the auction had already ended. Guan Hui stood up excitedly. Soon, many socialites and noblewomen surrounded her. “Oh, Miss Guan, Mr. Huo dotes on you too much!”
“That’s 30 million! He didn’t even blink!”
“Mr. Huo is capable, so he naturally won’t care about this small amount of money. As long as Miss Guan is happy, Mr. Huo’s 30 million yuan won’t be wasted!”
Everyone praised her, coaxing Guan Hui until she was shy and forgot about her previous unhappiness.
Guan Hui replied shyly, “I said that I wouldn’t let him bid for it, but he still wanted to bid for it. It’s indeed a waste to spend 30 million on a violin.”
