Urban drama: Starting from rejecting Fan Shengmei on a blind date
Chapter 308: Counter-espionage, another trick to trap Ding Yao
At the end of the auction, Zhou Chen and Ding Yao started arguing over a pink diamond. They kept raising the price to 500 million, and then Zhou Chen stopped bidding.
This seems like a lot of noise but little action. After all, it was so lively at the beginning, and the price just increased by 100 million yuan, but Zhou Chen actually backed off. No one knows what Zhou Chen was thinking?
"Bidder No. 8, the price has now been raised to million. Are you willing to increase the price?"
In response to the host's question, Zhou Chen shook his head. His sister Zhou Xingchen wanted to raise her hand immediately, but was pulled down by Zhou Chen. This made Zhou Xingchen confused about what Zhou Chen wanted to do.
With the Zhou family's assets, they can definitely raise the price several times. Li Yang is definitely not her opponent in a price war, so he will definitely be the first to withdraw. Zhou Xingchen is confident that she can raise the price to scare Li Yang away. She doesn't understand why Zhou Chen is stopping her?
If they retreat at this time, wouldn't they be handing the diamonds over to Li Yang? And then it would be their Xingchen Group that would be embarrassed?
"You have to listen to me when I tell you this. How can I harm you? Since Li Yang wants it, just give it to them."
"Host, we won't bid anymore. If other audience members are interested, they can raise the price. I feel like Mr. Li is just bluffing."
Zhou Chen’s words made Li Yang frown even deeper. He had no idea what Zhou Chen meant.
I guessed that their bottom line might be 500 million, and I quoted 500 million first, but the other party didn't raise the price. This is totally not Zhou Xingchen's character?
"Are there any other bidders? If not, I'll hammer it out. 500 million first time, 500 million second time, 500 million third time, deal.
Thank you to bidder number 10 for paying $500 million for this pink diamond. Let us give him a big round of applause to congratulate him."
In response to the host's words, Zhou Chen stood up and applauded them without hesitation.
Seeing this, Ding Yao immediately mocked Zhou Chen, "Zhou Chen, before the auction started, I don't know who was bragging about crushing us, but who won now?
Where's your arrogance just now? Why don't you offer a price? Is it because you bought a fake painting and have no money left? Oh, you are so pitiful."
Facing Ding Yao's fierce mockery of him, Zhou Chen just laughed. Since the deal had been finalized, there was no need for Zhou Chen to hide it.
"Hahahaha, some people are willing to be fools, so why should I stop them? Spending 500 million on a fake diamond is something that ordinary people really can't do. Congratulations."
As soon as Zhou Chen said this, everyone present was surprised. They all thought they had heard it wrong. Zhou Chen actually said that it was a fake diamond. How was this possible?
Of course, the three most anxious people were Zhou Chen’s sister, the host of the auction house, and Li Yang, who paid 500 million.
Zhou Chen's sister was excited. If what Zhou Chen said was true, it meant that Li Yang had suffered a great loss. No wonder he said that he wanted to set a trap for Li Yang?
The host of the auction house was angry. For an auction house, it is not good to have a bad reputation if it sells fake goods.
So Raymond quickly took out the appraisal certificate and accused Zhou Chen, "Sir, I hope you won't talk nonsense. We have an appraisal certificate issued by a foreign appraisal organization. This is a real diamond.
If you bring our auction house into disrepute, we will sue you."
Li Yang's face was a little gloomy at this time. The existence of the appraisal certificate gave him a little confidence, but he didn't think that Zhou Chen would do it without a purpose. He didn't know what went wrong?
Zhou Chen shouldn't embarrass himself in such an occasion. What is his basis for saying that this diamond is a fake?
Looking at the appraisal report, Ding Yao suddenly felt emboldened. Looking at Li Yang who had been silent, she stood up and angrily shouted, "Zhou Chen, here is the appraisal report, which means that your words are not credible at all.
You, a person who likes to buy fake paintings, actually dare to say that other people's diamonds are fake. You are the most ridiculous person.
You're jealous because you lost the auction to us, and you're deliberately trying to ruin our reputation. You're truly despicable, and your plan will never succeed."
Faced with the accusation, Zhou Chen was not anxious but laughed. I've been waiting for you to say this.
Zhou Chen directly took out the painting he had just auctioned and asked, "Who told you this painting is fake? It's just that some people don't know the value of it. In fact, this is a painting within a painting.
Bring me the scissors, and today I will show you its true face."
As Zhou Chen spoke, the service staff quickly found the tools. Zhou Chen placed the painting on the auction table and then began to operate it gently. A group of people looked up and waited for the result.
Soon Zhou Chen pulled out another painting from the interlayer of the painting, which was the authentic work of Tang Bohu.
After the host appraised the painting, he exclaimed that it was worth at least 30 million, which meant that Zhou Chen could make six times the money by reselling it. Unfortunately, Zhou Chen had no intention of selling it.
Zhou Chen's sister was a little surprised. She didn't expect her brother to have such ability. Although the pink diamond was not obtained, the painting was also a considerable gain.
Zhou Chen turned to look at Li Yang and said sarcastically, "This pink diamond is not from South Africa, but from China. Someone took it abroad and sold it back to China at a high price.
It is not a natural diamond, but an artificial diamond, which means its value will be greatly reduced.
Haha, to put it bluntly, it's not even worth 50 million, but you actually spent 500 million to buy it. Don't you think you are an idiot?
Of course, if you don't believe it, you can take it back for appraisal. We won't play with you anymore. Goodbye."
Zhou Chen's words completely changed Li Yang's expression. If it was really an artificial diamond, it would mean that he would suffer a huge loss.
Haha, from the moment Zhou Chen saw this painting, he had already made up his mind. He wanted to throw dirty water on Li Yang.
In other words, Zhou Chen made the worst plan. If the diamond was real and he did not get it at the auction, he would take out the painting to show off.
On the one hand, he showed his ability to identify paintings, and then he threw mud at Li Yang, saying that the diamonds auctioned by Li Yang were fake.
The consequence of doing this is to make things more difficult for Li Yang. Sometimes, who can tell what is true and what is false? Anyway, everyone in this auction house is rich. After today's incident gets out, Li Yang will have even more trouble explaining it.
At least it would arouse other people's suspicion. He couldn't just take the appraisal report and prove to others one by one that the diamond was real.
However, Zhou Chen didn't expect that the diamond was actually fake, which made him more confident. His words were not slander but facts, which made it even more difficult for Li Yang to explain.
Before leaving, Zhou Chen played a double-edged trick. He looked at Ding Yao and said, "By the way, I also want to thank you for telling me Li Yang's bottom price. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you lose so much money."
After Zhou Chen finished speaking, he turned around and left the auction site with his sister and the calligraphy and paintings. Ding Yao, who was left behind, began to panic.
"Zhou Chen, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I tell you the bottom price?"
Unfortunately, Zhou Chen left without paying any attention to Ding Yao. When Ding Yao looked at Li Yang, whose face was ashen, she immediately knew that things were going to get bad.
"Li Yang, listen to my explanation. I didn't tell Zhou Chen the bottom line of your offer at all. He is deliberately trying to sow discord between us."
Haha, it doesn’t matter anymore. You can imagine how angry Li Yang is after losing a huge sum of money, and Ding Yao is his punching bag.
Haha, in short, Ding Yao is in trouble.
