"Because the body of the bottle is created by the world-famous jewelry designer Jose Davalos. The outside of the bottle is plated with 24K gold and pure platinum, and there are 6666 perfectly cut real diamonds. The whole bottle looks like a beautiful work of art, so the price of the bottle is very expensive. The starting price is $2 million!"
When the auctioneer had finished, the hall became noisy.
"A bottle of wine is so expensive, who will buy it?"
"Ha ha, just buying 6666 real diamonds costs nearly a million dollars..."
"I still think it's too expensive!"
"Yes, yes, it's too expensive!"
"I don't think anyone would spend two million dollars on a bottle of wine!"
“……”
There was a discussion in the hall for a minute or two, but still no bid.
The auctioneer said, "I'll count down 10 seconds. If there's still no bid, this bottle of wine will have to be sold off."
“10,9,8,7……”
As the countdown began, in the box, Kalina said to Henry, "it seems that no one will bid!"
Henry laughed awkwardly, "forget it, I'll take it myself. If it's a flow, how ugly it will be when it's spread out!"
Kailinna closed her mouth and said with a smile: "how can wine be sold so expensive? Now I regret it..."
Henry gave a wry smile, picked up the remote control and put in two million dollars!
At this time, the auctioneer counted down to 3. Suddenly, a figure of 2 million appeared on the electronic screen, and everyone in the hall was surprised!
"Is the man in box k001 a fool to buy two million dollars of wine?"
"The person in box k001 must be a very rich man. He also photographed a $15 million mansion before!"
"It's a good thing to buy a luxury house. After all, it can be appreciated. It's too exaggerated to buy a bottle of 2 million yuan wine!"
"That's right..."
As soon as the auctioneer saw that the bidder was a guest in box k001, he knew that it was Henry Williams who had won the "Williams I" wine. The auctioneer knew clearly in his heart, but he didn't make a sound on his face. Then he said in a very bewitching language: "the guests of k001 are really generous!"!!! If I had the money, I would buy a bottle, and then taste the wine that Henry Williams drinks. Unfortunately, I have no money! OK, is there anyone else bidding now? If no one offers, this bottle of the most expensive wine in the world will belong to the guests in box k001! "
The auctioneer glanced around, not feeling disappointed, and then said, "since we don't bid, I declare that 'Williams I' belongs to k001..."
"Wait
"I'll pay $2.5 million!!"
In vain, a voice rang out in the hall. As the crowd went, a middle-aged man with a big belly raised his hand and cried out.
"Who is this? 2.5 million dollars for a bottle of wine? "
"I know him. His name is Victor neiham. He's an oil tycoon in Alaska. To be exact, it should be upstarts! A few years ago, he found a large oil tower in Alaska, and he made a fortune and became a billionaire
"It turned out to be a nouveau riche..."
"Ha ha, this man is really 250..."
“……”
Then, in box k001, Henry gasped and said, "look, isn't there a rush to buy my wine?"
Kailinna looked at the screen, the fat man's proud smile, very speechless, turned to Henry and said: "piansheng let you meet this rich upstart... Otherwise, how can you sell your wine?"
Henry said with a smile: "this wine is sold to those upstarts. It's a special wine for loading force!"
Kailina chuckled, "still loaded with special wine? I see, you are the one who pretends to be the best... "
In the hall, Victor neiham said triumphantly: "what's two million dollars? I'll lose more than two million dollars in one night's card game!"!!! Since this is the wine that Henry Williams drinks on weekdays, I want to buy it, taste it and see what it tastes like! "
"What are you looking at!"
"If you don't agree, you can also bid!"
Victor neiham yelled as he saw the scornful look in his eyes.
Seeing that the scene was full of gunpowder, the auctioneer quickly came out to be a peacemaker and broke away from their topic. "Calm down, everyone. The auction is still going on. This gentleman has offered us $2.5 million. Is there anyone else who offers more?"
"Fuck, a nouveau riche is bullish. I'll pay $3 million!" A middle-aged man in a black suit and glasses, looking polite, raised his hand and cried.
Victor neiham hated people saying that he was a nouveau riche. He stood up angrily and yelled, "you are a coward. I'll give you four million dollars. You have the guts to keep up with me. If you don't follow me, you are a coward!"
"Just follow, 4.5 million!"
"Laozi 5 million!" Yelled Victor neiham!
In box k001, Henry and kellina look at each other. Unexpectedly, the scene turns out to be like this
"I'm afraid Williams I is going to shock the whole world!"
Henry touched his nose and said, "I didn't expect to meet two wonderful people fighting here!"
"Ha ha, they are so aggressive that they have made Williams I wine." Kailinna said with a smile, "I guess, when they calm down, they will regret to die!"
In the hall, after Victor neiham yelled five million, there was no bid.
Victor neiham made a big thumbs down gesture to the middle-aged man with glasses.
The auctioneer looked at the middle-aged man with glasses and saw that he didn't mean to continue to bid, so he announced: "if no one continues to bid, this bottle of 'Williams I' wine will belong to Mr. Victor neiham of No. 8!"
"3," the auctioneer countdown, "2, 1..."
Then the auctioneer knocked on his hammer and said in a loud voice, "well, congratulations to Mr. Victor neiham on his bid for Williams I!"
After the sale of Williams I, Sotheby's auctioned another four or five pieces. At about 10 o'clock, the sale will be over! Henry only won the "city of freedom" at the auction, when the manager of Sotheby's came to his box and went through the delivery procedure with him.
"First of all, congratulations to Mr. Williams, your wine has sold at a high price of five million dollars!" Sotheby's manager laughs.
Henry said with a smile: "ha ha, I thought it would flow, so I asked a price first!"
Sotheby's manager smiles, takes out several documents and says, "this is the house property certificate of Freedom City and the certificate of Sotheby's auction house. In addition, we will charge 20% commission for Williams I wine, so we will refund you $4 million!"
Henry nodded to show that he understood, and then completed a series of procedures with the manager of Sotheby's auction house.
That night, Henry and Karina sleep in a room in a high-end hotel nearby.
A lingering, needless to say.
The next day, the news of "Williams I" wine was in the headlines of American newspapers. Five million dollars a bottle of wine stunned everyone!
Netizens commented: "we don't understand the world of local tyrants!"
NBC TV carried out a lot of follow-up reports on the Sotheby's auction, interviewed the staff of the auction house and the guests of that night. Sotheby's auction house is also famous for this auction of "Williams I", and it is stronger than another big auction house, Christie's auction house!!!
When Henry woke up at 10 o'clock the next day, Tony Linde, the manager of the winery, called to tell Henry that there were countless media reporters coming to the winery to find out. In addition, there are three hotels in the world ordering "Williams I" wine from the winery, and one private buyer also!!!
Henry hung up and began to laugh. Curiosity Kills cats. There are always people who are interested in such expensive wine... There is no shortage of local tyrants in the world, just things that make them curious!
Henry had Chinese food in the hotel restaurant after Kalina finished dressing up. At 7 o'clock this evening, the Weimi fashion show will be held. Before that, Henry and Kalina will go back!
However, after Henry and kellina had lunch, Tony Linde called again. This time, his voice was very anxious
"No, Mr. Williams!" Tony Linde said anxiously!
Henry asked kailinna to wait in the car. He answered the phone outside, but when he answered the phone, he heard Tony Linde yelling "no good". Immediately, Henry frowned and asked in a deep voice, "what's the matter?"
"Not long ago, Lafite winery, one of the world's top five wineries, held a press conference to satirize our" Williams I "wine, saying that our wine is pure and fancy in appearance, but actually a kind of inferior wine inside!"
"We only sell one bottle of wine at present, and they dare to make a false judgment?" Henry didn't understand.
"Mr. Williams, the rich man who bought your wine last night, Victor neiham, after getting the" Williams I "wine, went to one of his friends to show off, claiming that it was the most expensive and best wine in the world, and that his friend was the top manager of Lafite winery! After tasting the "Williams I" wine, the senior manager of Lafite immediately joked that this kind of wine is rubbish compared with Lafite! The next day, the Chateau Lafite held a press conference to expose the true face of Williams I
"Williams I" wine is at least a first-class wine, maybe far from the top wine, but it is definitely not inferior wine!!
Lafite manor must have seen the "Williams I" wine hype is very hot, afraid to threaten their own interests, so to suppress. Otherwise, it's none of your business for me to sell my wine
"Mr. Williams, they took the bottle of 'Williams I' from the auction and invited more than ten experienced wine tasters to identify it at the press conference. Finally, they agreed that our 'Williams I' was inferior wine and there was false deception!"
"Damn, if the tasters are all invited by me, and your special Lafite is also inferior, do you believe it?" Henry murmured in his heart, "it's all about wine tasters!"
Tony Linde asked anxiously, "Mr. Williams, what do we do now? Now many journalists have been blocked outside the winery... "
"It's obvious that Lafite is smearing us this time," Henry said in a deep voice. "You also invite the wine tasters to come and taste the wine, say something nice, and then show pity to the media, saying that Lafite is afraid of us seizing their market, so it's bullying the small and deliberately suppressing and smearing us!"!!! Let's fight a public opinion war first and argue with them! "
Henry said, "just through this public opinion to increase the exposure of our winery!"
"Well!"
"In addition, our winery should try our best to develop the top wine! If our wine is also the top wine, we can shut them up and make them speechless! "
"Yes, Mr. Williams! I'll supervise them and let them work hard to develop the top liquor! " Tony Linde replied.
"Well," Henry answered softly, and then asked, "what's the total assets of Lafite?"
Tony Linde wondered, "Mr. Williams, why do you ask this?"
What's this for??? Henry heart a cold smile, of course, is to do "acquisition"!!!
Before Henry spoke, Tony Linde said, "I don't know about that, but the total assets must be very large!"
"Since you don't know, you should make a good investigation!" Henry ordered, "that's it. I'll hang up!"
Henry hung up and got into the car.
"What's the matter with you?" she asked
"Just a little thing, Lafite held a press conference to discredit 'Williams I' wine as inferior wine!" Said Henry.
"This Lafite is a bit of a liar indeed!" Kailinna said unfairly for Henry.
"Don't talk about it, lest you get angry!" Henry said, "it's going to be the Vimy show. Let's go!"
"Well, good!" Said Kalina, nodding.
"Drive!" Henry said to the driver.
"Yes, Mr. Williams!"
The car started slowly. After a while, it speeded up and ran away!
……
……
Weimi fashion show has not been held yet, but the wind of release has made many media begin to pay attention to this event. By the time Henry and kellina got to the company, a lot of reporters had already come here. The people of ABC TV station have already been arranged in place. It will be broadcast live tonight!
CEO Marcus Christie is checking all kinds of preparation work is perfect, clothes, lighting, music, etc., can't make a mistake!!!
Henry went over and said, "Marcus Christie!"
"Oh, Mr. Williams and miss kellina, here you are at last!"
"There's a slight delay on the way," Henry asked. "What's the matter? Are all the preparations ready?"
"No problem, Mr. Williams, don't worry!"
"Well, that's good!"
