Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 192 The Agent Who Was Broken by Ouyang Nana
"1000 million euros! Mr. Gu offers 1000 million euros!"

This time, Celia's voice was full of excitement.
Even though Gu Heng finally bought the 1000G-6002 at a price of 001 million euros, her commission was as high as 4 euros.
But could this be the top price?
impossible.

Frédéric Arnault also raised his bid, with the same casual smile as Gu Heng: "1020 million euros."

Two people, Gu Heng doesn't treat money as money
Frédéric Arnault does not think that 1000 million euros is a large sum.
Today, the total assets of the Arnault family have reached hundreds of billions of dollars.
More than 1000 million euros is just a drop in the bucket of this huge family asset.
Although Frédéric Arnault is only one of the heirs to this business empire, he still has control over a considerable amount of property. Although no one knows exactly how much it is, a mere 10 million euros is definitely not the upper limit.
Although the bidding price has exceeded 10 million euros, it does not mean that this auction has become a duel between Gu Heng and Frédéric Arnault. There are also several bidders participating in the auction.
Gu Heng also guessed this situation.

He would never think that there are few rich people in this world. He only met few rich people before because he could not get in touch with them.
The enthusiasm for the auction continues.

"Mr. Hanton offers 1080 million euros!!"

"Mr. Horace offers 1085 million euros!!"

Although she was quoting prices, Celia's eyes kept wandering between Gu Heng and Frederic Arnaud.
She had a hunch that the person who would make the final deal today would be one of the two of them.

really
Gu Heng, who had originally stopped bidding after raising the price to 1000 million euros, raised his bid again: "1200 million euros."

"1200 million! 1200 million euros! Mr. Gu raised the price to 1200 million euros!"

Celia wanted to add a sentence after quoting the price, "It seems that Mr. Gu is determined to get 6002G-001!" to add fuel to the fire, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
As a professional auctioneer, she can only guide others to participate in the bidding from an objective product perspective, and cannot deliberately incite the emotions of bidders as in the novel, and then make others lose their minds and raise the price crazily.
She has the ability to do so, but she doesn't dare to do so. The consequence of doing so is that she may get more commission, but she will probably be banned from the entire industry in the future. So far, Celia has always simply quoted prices and has not said anything to add fuel to the fire.
As Gu Heng said "1200 million euros", some people began to hesitate.
1200 million euros, this price has reached the bottom line price of the watch 6002G-001.

If you continue bidding, it will be a premium auction.
For these Western capitalists who are used to careful calculations, a watch that exceeds its actual value obviously cannot make them continue to compete. Even if the watch will continue to appreciate in value in the future, they are not willing to take this risk.
All of a sudden, several photographers hung up the phone.

Patek Philippe’s live broadcast room is also crazy at this moment.

"What a shame! The starting price of 485 million was raised to 1200 million in less than ten minutes. Did these people print all their own money?!"

"Who is Mr. Gu mentioned by the auctioneer?"

"From what I heard, they should be Asians, right? Korean? Malaysian? Or Chinese?"

As the speculation and questions were raised in the barrage, someone immediately started to analyze it.

"Malaysia and Singapore are possible. There are many Chinese people there, but definitely not Koreans. There is no surname "Gu" in Korea. The three surnames "Jin", "Park" and "Li" alone account for almost half of their population. In addition, there are only a few chaebols with huge financial resources in Korea, which are almost open and transparent. How could someone with the surname "Gu" suddenly appear?"

"I guess it should be China, because almost every year there are Chinese tycoons showing off their wealth at international events. The tycoons there are like clones, one after another."

"I am Chinese. I am here to testify that Mr. Gu must be Chinese because the woman sitting next to him is our Chinese celebrity Ouyang Nana."

The cameraman who was controlling the live broadcast room camera was also very sensible and turned the camera towards Gu Heng's sofa.
At this moment, the Patek Philippe member from China in the live broadcast room also began to take screenshots, preparing to verify it online later.
"1210 million euros!"

"1220 million euros!"

"1300 million euros!"

There were only three people left bidding, but after Gu Heng once again raised the price to 1300 million, the remaining two bidders also chose to give up the bidding.
If we let them bite the bullet and bid together, there will definitely be no problem adding a few million euros.

But it's not necessary
They simply couldn't stand Gu Heng calling them that.
He raised 100 million at a time. Who can play with him like this? No one's money comes from the wind.
Moreover, 1300 million is already a premium of more than 100 million euros. Although they believe in the power of the Patek Philippe brand, it won’t be long before the price of this 6002G-001 appreciates in the future and will definitely recover this premium.
But
How long will it take?

three years?

Five years?

Or longer?

For most wealthy people, this kind of super luxury is more like an investment product. Since they think the return on investment is too small and the risk is too great, they will definitely not continue to follow it.
Gu Heng watched the proxy bidder put down his phone, and realized that the two big guys off-site who had been bidding with him just now had given up. He turned his gaze to Frédéric Arnault who was sitting on the other side.

Perhaps others would care about the investment value of 6002G-001, but Gu Heng doesn’t care at all.

He bought this watch to wear and show off in front of others.

Even if you lose money due to the premium, you don't have to care, because today you are really indulging yourself. After the auction is over, the system will definitely reward you. Compared with the reward, the money lost is nothing at all. It can be regarded as spending money to buy your own emotional value.

Frédéric Arnault's eyes were also on Gu Heng at this moment.

As if sensing Gu Heng's determination to win, he showed a helpless smile on his freckled face, raised a finger, and then raised the bidding card: "1500 million euros."

This offer shocked not only the bidders in the auction room and the audience in the live broadcast room, but also Celia, who was bidding, was stunned for a moment, and then shouted in a trembling voice: "Mr. Frédéric Arnault bids 1500 million euros!"

The live broadcast room's bullet screen rolled again
"1500 million euros? Is that true?"

"I remember that the price of a 23G-6002 at Christie's auction in 001 was only 580 million US dollars. Why is it so outrageous this time?"

“Let me help the above person to popularize science. The one sold at the Christie’s auction was not 6002G-001, but a watch from the same series. It was only later promoted as 6002G-001. I checked this watch on the Patek Philippe official website before the auction started, and it has the number 01.” “The above person has the right answer, but I still have to interrupt. In the secondary market, the highest transaction price of 6002G-001 was 2021 million euros in 940. Even if it has appreciated now, plus the depreciation of the euro, it is far from the price of 1500 million. It is no exaggeration to say that this watch has been overpriced by a full 500 million euros!”

"It's just like that in auctions. You can't control it based on market prices. Last year, a Picasso painting was sold for $1.4 million. In comparison, 1500 million euros is nothing. After today's auction, the value of the other two 6002G-001 watches will also increase by 200 million euros, or even more! I'm a little envious of the owners of the other two watches. They didn't do anything and made 200 million euros."

Gu Heng didn't know what was going on in the live broadcast room. Instead, he glanced at Frederic Arnault, who lay back on the sofa comfortably after quoting the price. He also knew the meaning of his finger just now.
What this means is that he only makes one bid, and if you continue to bid, I will not bid again.
Gu Heng didn't know whether he had guessed his meaning correctly, but he still raised the bidding card in his hand, but didn't bid.

Although Celia was still in shock, she did not forget her responsibilities and quickly quoted a price of 1505 million euros.

Then he looked at Frederick Arnault expectantly, hoping that he would continue to bid against Gu Heng.
But Frédéric Arnault not only did not bid, but he clapped his hands in advance, as if to celebrate for Gu Heng that the piece No. 01, 6002G-001, was won by Gu Heng.
"1505 million euros once!"

"1505 million euros twice!"

"1505 million euros three times!"

"make a deal!"

“恭喜顾先生以1505万欧元的高价拿下这块编号01的6002G-001，顺便宣布，这块6002G-001成为了腕表行业最高拍卖成交价！”

Celia also knew that this price was already the limit of the limit, and no one would come out to bid, so she didn't waste time. After asking a few polite questions, she knocked down the small wooden hammer in her hand.
The premium is over 500 million euros.
This auction was like a dream.
Especially Ouyang Nana, who was sitting next to Gu Heng, felt like she was in a dream.
1505 million euros, converted into RMB is 1.17 million.
In China, not many people have this digital asset, let alone use it to buy a small watch.
If the 70 Euro watch I bought is like wearing a house on my hand.
That Gu Heng is wearing a manor in his hand
Oh no
More expensive than a manor house.
After all, the manor that Gu Heng bought was only 1250 million euros, and this watch is 255 million euros more expensive than the manor.
Frederick, Nicholas, and Dugu did not care that the auction had not yet ended, and went straight to Gu Heng's sofa to congratulate Gu Heng on winning the auction item.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Gu Heng, I am a little surprised at your wealth now, but including the manor and winery I sold you, plus today's auction fees, you need to pay nearly 8000 million euros, right?

I wonder if you will cancel the deal with me because you can’t afford the money.”

Du Gu looked at Gu Heng in front of him with an incredible expression and spoke in shock.

It's no wonder he was suspicious, it was mainly because Gu Heng spent too much money.
During the days I was with Gu Heng, Gu Heng first booked a manor worth 1250 million euros with me, and then booked a winery worth nearly 5000 million euros. Now he came to Geneva and did nothing, but spent 1500 million euros to buy a watch at an auction.
And the most terrifying thing is that Gu Heng’s purpose of coming to Geneva was not to buy a watch.

Instead, I am here to attend the air show tomorrow and buy a private jet.
Even Frederick Arnault, the richest of the three, couldn't spend money like this. To put it bluntly, Du Gu and Gu Heng had only known each other for a few days, so he would definitely question it.
Gu Heng also knew Du Gu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "If you have completed the formalities with the French government, we can sign the contract now and transfer the money to your account. I mean now.

In other words, I can deposit the money into the notarized account in advance, and when the transaction is completed, the money will be transferred directly to your personal account.

Is this okay? "

For Gu Heng, he would rather complete the transaction as soon as possible.

After all, if you pay one day earlier, the system will give you rewards earlier.
Seeing Gu Heng's fearless attitude, Du Gu opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end.
20 minute later.

Nicole Karaman and several Patek Philippe staff members came to the lounge where Gu Heng was, and said to him with a smile on his face: "Mr. Gu, the two lots you bought, 6002G-001, are currently on display and will be delivered to you in about 30 minutes.

This 5062/450R-001 has been installed for you, you just need to sign and you can take it away. "

As he spoke, he signaled the staff behind him to place a folder respectfully in front of Gu Heng.

Gu Heng didn't even look at it, he just signed his name on the document, then looked up at Nicole Karaman and said, "Can we pay together later?"

Nicole Karaman nodded quickly in agreement.

In principle, it is not allowed, but for a super customer like Gu Heng who spends more than 10 million euros at Patek Philippe in one day, he can ignore all principles.

Seeing that Nicole Karaman agreed, Gu Heng directly pushed the 5062/450R-001 in front of Ouyang Nana.

"Here, it belongs to you."

Ouyang Nana: “???”

With a puzzled look on his face, Ouyang Nana asked in confusion: "Didn't you say you would give it to me after I paid? Why are you giving it to me now?"

Gu Heng shrugged indifferently: "I will have to give it to you sooner or later. It will only delay things if I keep it here. If I lose it, I will lose 70 euros. It is better to give it to you directly.

Anyway, you don’t dare to default on my debt.”

Hearing this, although Ouyang Nana was speechless, she still took the watch box with excitement.
Looking at the exquisite watch in his hand, and then looking at Gu Heng sitting next to him, an inexplicable idea came to his mind.
And outside the Patek Philippe salon.

Ouyang Nana's agent is talking to the head of Weibo's operations department, asking Weibo to lower the popularity of Ouyang Nana's hot searches.
After more than an hour of bargaining, they finally agreed to reduce the popularity of Weibo for three days at a cost of 120 million yuan. If the popularity remains the same on the fourth day, they will have to pay more.
Although it cost a lot of money, the ending was always good.

As long as the trending searches drop, no one will comment on it in a couple of days.

Thinking of this, the agent also breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when she was about to take a break, Ouyang Nana's assistant ran to her side with a mobile phone in hand, and said anxiously, "Sister Lin, something happened again!"

The agent thought the heat had not subsided, so he quickly grabbed the assistant's phone.
When I saw the picture on my phone, I almost fainted.
Ouyang Nana uploaded a photo on Weibo with the caption "Thank you for letting me have my dream".
As for the content of the picture, two big hands helped a small hand put on a pink watch.
The ambiguous text and pictures look very much like the official Weibo
It has only been a few minutes since it was uploaded, and there are already hundreds of comments from fans.
Ouyang Nana's agent is really upset now
I worked so hard to help her reduce the popularity of trending searches, but before I’ve even finished processing, Ouyang Nana blew herself up again?
tired
Destroy it.
Whoever wants to be the agent can be the agent.
