Chapter 556: Chapter 556 Spending Money Like Dirt [Three More]
Seeing someone on the second floor speak up, the audience on the first floor chose to give up on the spot, knowing that what followed was the battlefield of the big players and they simply had no right to participate.
"Excellent! Another bid has come in! Six million for the first time. President Chen, would you like to continue?" the host looked towards Deng Tianze and then in Chen Wei’s direction, picked up the microphone, and asked.
Chen Wei raised his bid paddle without a second thought and shouted, "Ten million!"
"Wei, maybe we should just let it go, that guy is clearly picking a fight with you," Su Yumei advised.
"Sister, as long as it’s something you want, I will get it for you, don’t worry, this piece of writing will be mine!" Chen Wei reassured her, telling Su Yumei not to worry.
"It just so happens I have too much money and rarely find an opportunity to spend it."
"..." With that one sentence, Chen Wei completely took back the words Su Yumei was about to say.
Of course, she didn’t think Chen Wei was bragging; it was because she knew he wasn’t bragging that her thoughts became somewhat scrambled for a moment, not knowing how to retort properly.
She could only resort to a popular phrase from the internet, feeling outdone by him.
"Twelve million!" Deng Tianze gritted his teeth, "You think I’m scared of you?"
"Twenty million," Chen Wei’s tone was still calm, not showing the slightest fluctuation.
"Twenty, twenty-one million." In terms of momentum, Deng Tianze’s side was clearly much less spirited.
Worried that if Chen Wei didn’t continue to bid, buying this piece of writing for twenty-one million would be a huge loss, even for him.
"Thirty million," Chen Wei said without hesitation, so much so that the host didn’t even get a chance to speak.
"Thir, thirty..." Deng Tianze’s arm trembled, and in the end, he pressed his paddle back down onto the tea table.
He was scared, truly scared, and dared not continue the bidding war.
"Thirty million for the first time, thirty million for the second time, thirty million... three times!"
Bang!
The gavel fell, and the host announced enthusiastically, "Let’s congratulate President Chen for acquiring this piece of writing!"
"Damn it! Is it really no big deal because it’s not your own money?" Deng Tianze really couldn’t understand what Su Yumei was thinking, allowing Chen Wei to make such a foolish move.
Spending thirty million on such a piece of writing, is it because he has too much money with nowhere to spend it?
What he didn’t know was that he guessed correctly by chance.
Chen Wei indeed had too much money with nowhere to spend it.
After all, he was making money every second, and even if he did nothing at all, his bank balance was multiplying like crazy.
Because he had the world’s most money-making team, and not just one.
Never mind thirty million, what would it matter even with a long string of zeros added?
Deng Tianze had no idea that he was competing with a man who owned mountains of gold and silver, battling as if they were evenly matched.
He even looked down on Chen Wei, thinking that without Su Yumei’s support by his side, he was nothing and had no right to stand before him and oppose him.
Then, the host pulled back the curtains, announcing the origin of the second item up for auction.
It was a River and Mountains Scroll from a thousand years ago, which had hung in the Emperor’s Bedroom Palace.
It immediately attracted countless eyes, and many journalists raised their cameras, furiously snapping photos.
Clearly, they had come specifically for this auction item.
"The starting bid is ten million!" the host announced.
"Twelve million!"
"Thirteen million!"
"Thirteen million five hundred thousand!"
Downstairs, near the front rows, the coal, gold, and iron mine bosses started to speak up, showing strong interest in the River and Mountains Scroll as well.
They also wanted to buy it and hang it in their rooms to experience the sensation of being an emperor a thousand years ago.
Soon, the bidding had reached seventeen million.
The audience in the back could only watch the competition, not daring to raise the paddles they were clutching so tightly in their hands.
Because even if they sold themselves, they wouldn’t be able to come up with that much money.
"Wei, you aren’t thinking of..."
Su Yumei hadn’t yet finished her sentence when Chen Wei preempted her, raising the paddle in his hand and shouting, "One hundred million!"
"He really can’t help himself and has started bidding, huh! I won’t let you have your way..." He was halfway through his sentence, his arm already raised high, but in the next second, Deng Tianze suddenly realized that something seemed a bit... off.
How much? One hundred million!!!
Deng Tianze began to doubt whether there was a problem with his ears, wondering if he had heard wrong.
The highest bid had been only seventeen million, and you jumped straight to one hundred million? Are you not giving others a chance to participate at all?
With cheeks burning, grateful that no one was paying attention to him, Deng Tianze quickly lowered his arm.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford it, but that it wasn’t necessary.
If he truly spent a hundred million on a single painting, once he went back home, Deng Tianze’s Father would skin him alive.
"That woman must be crazy. What kind of love potion did she feed you to make you act so recklessly?" Deng Tianze expressed his incomprehension.
However, he couldn’t help letting his thoughts run wild, "If I could have her, wouldn’t I also be able to enjoy this kind of treatment?"
"She surely seems cold on the surface, but her heart must be immensely hollow. After she experiences my might in the hotel, she will undoubtedly be conquered by me!" Deng Tianze was highly confident about this.
He was already looking forward to the performance after Zhao Xiaodao’s arrival.
The more grievances he suffered now, the more exhilarating it would be later!
"One hundred million for the first time! One hundred million for the second time... One hundred million for the third time!"
Bang!
"Let us congratulate President Chen once again for obtaining the Rich and Abundant Landscapes Scroll!" The host, upon being reminded repeatedly by the staff off-stage, finally came to his senses and announced.
He had stood on that stage for decades and had never encountered such a situation.
Indeed, poverty had limited his imagination.
Not just him, even the audience present, and even Su Yumei, understood what it meant to be wealthy and capricious.
If she had to think about it, there probably wasn’t anyone in the world more capricious with money than Chen Wei.
At that moment, Chen Wei suddenly leaned over the tea table, moving closer as he asked, "Sister, do you want to experience the thrill of extravagant spending?"
"Ah? Me, I better not." Su Yumei felt that just watching was already satisfying enough.
"Give it a try, come on, don’t worry, I’m treating today. All your expenses here, Sister, I’ll cover everything." Chen Wei said half-jokingly.
"Brother, my money is really too abundant. Sister, would you help me spend some, please?" Chen Wei said, half-joking.
"..." Chen Wei’s words really struck a nerve with Su Yumei.
"Are you sure? Don’t change your mind later when you see me spending too much." Su Yumei changed her attitude but made sure to clarify beforehand.
"Don’t worry, even if you spend me into bankruptcy, it’s fine. After all, I still have you six sisters to support me later on," Chen Wei said with an air of confidence.
"Alright then." Since he had brought the matter to this point, Su Yumei felt there was no need to keep up pretenses and nodded in agreement.
She only needed to wait for the third auction item to be presented. Today, she would calmly experience what it felt like to throw money around like it was nothing.
