Silicon Valley

Vol 2 Chapter 194: Hacked

"Because the bottle is crafted by the world-renowned jewelry designer Josedava1os, the surface is plated with 24k gold and pure white gold, and it is inlaid with 6666 perfectly cut real diamonds. The whole bottle of wine looks like a beautiful piece of art. So this bottle of wine is very expensive and the starting price is two million US dollars!!!"

After the auctioneer finished speaking, the hall suddenly became noisy.

"A bottle of wine is so expensive, who would buy it?"

"Hehe, just buying 6666 real diamonds will cost nearly one million dollars"

"I still think it's too expensive!!!"

"Yeah, yeah, it's too expensive!"

"I think no one 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 one bid.

The auctioneer said: "I will count down 10 seconds. If there is still no one bidding, this bottle of wine will have to be sold out!"

"1o, 9, 8, 7"

As the countdown began, in the box, Kailena said to Henry: "It looks like no one will bid anymore!"

Henry smiled awkwardly, "Forget it, I filmed it myself, if the filming is unsuccessful, how awful it would be to spread out!!!"

Kailena covered her mouth and smiled: "How can wine sell so expensive, now regret it"

Henry gave a wry smile, picked up the remote control, and entered two million dollars!

At this time, the auctioneer counted down to 3. Suddenly, a number of two million appeared on the electronic screen, and everyone in the hall was suddenly surprised!

"Is the person in box koo 1 a fool, buying 20,000 US dollars of wine?"

"The person in the koo No. 1 box must be a rich man, and he has also photographed a $150,000 mansion before!"

"It's okay to buy a luxury house. After all, you can appreciate it. Buying a bottle of 20,000 yuan of wine is an exaggeration!!!

"Yes"

As soon as the auctioneer saw that the person who was offering the price was a guest in box koo, he knew that Henry Williams himself had photographed the "Williams I" wine. The auctioneer knew it in his heart, but his face was calm, and then said in a very bewildering language: "The guest of koo 1 is really generous!!! If I have money, I will buy a bottle. Then I will taste it. What is the taste of the wine party that the billionaire Henry Williams drinks on weekdays. Unfortunately, I have no money! Okay, is there anyone bidding? If no one bids, this bottle of the most expensive wine in the world will belong to koo1 The guest in Box No.!!!"

The auctioneer glanced around. Feeling a little disappointed, he immediately said: "Since everyone is not bidding, then I declare that the wine of'Williams I'belongs to Koo 1"

"Hold on!!!"

"I give out 250,000 U.S. dollars!!!"

A voice sounded in vain in the hall, and everyone followed the prestige, only to see a middle-aged man with a pot belly raised his hand and shouted.

"Who is this forcing? He actually paid $250,000 for a bottle of wine?"

"I know him. His name is Victor Neham. He is an Alaska oil tycoon. To be precise, he should be a mobster! A few years ago, he found a large oil in Alaska. As a result, he became rich. Billionaire!!!"

"It turns out to be a mobster"

"Hehe, this person is really two hundred and five."

""

At this moment, Henry sighed and said in the koo No.1 box. "Look, isn't someone rushing to buy my wine?"

Kailena looked at the screen with a smug smile on the fat man's face. She turned her head and said to Henry: "You have met such a wealthy mobster or else, how can your wine be sold!"

Henry chuckled and said, "This wine is sold to those mobsters, pretending to be a special wine!!!"

Kailena chuckled and laughed, "Still pretending to be a special wine? I think you pretend to be the most compelling."

In the hall. Victor Neham said triumphantly: "Two million dollars is nothing, I don’t just lose two million in cards in one night!!! Since this is the wine that billionaire Henry Williams drinks on weekdays, I want to buy it. Come down, try it. See what it tastes like!!!"

"What to look at!!!"

"If you don't agree, you can also ask for a price!!!"

Victor Neham could not help yelling when he saw the contempt in the eyes around him.

Seeing the strong smell of gunpowder at the scene, the auctioneer hurriedly came out to be a peacemaker, and turned off their topic, "Calm down, everyone, the auction is still going on. This gentleman bid 250,000 US dollars, is there anyone who bid higher?"

"Fuck, what a bully, I'm paying 30,000 dollars!!!" A middle-aged man in a black suit and glasses, who looked gentle and raised his hand, shouted.

Victor Neham hated others for calling him a mobster, stood up angrily, and shouted: "Your father paid 40 million dollars, you have a kind of continue to follow, or not follow is a gangster!!!"

"Follow and follow, 450,000!!!"

"I'm 50,000 million!!!" Victor Neham roared!

In box No. 1 of koo, Henry and Kelena looked at each other, unexpectedly the scene would have evolved like this

Kelena said: "'Williams I'wine may shock the world!!!"

Henry touched his nose and said dumbfounded: "I didn't expect to encounter two strange flowers here to be grudge!!!"

"Hehe, they are vindictive, but they have made the wine of ‘Williams I’. It depends" Kailena smiled, "I guess, when they calm down, they will regret death!!!"

In the hall, after Victor Neham shouted 50,000, the other party did not bid.

Victor Neham arrogantly made a thumbs down gesture to the middle-aged man wearing glasses.

The auctioneer looked at the middle-aged man wearing glasses and saw that he did not intend to continue to bid, so he announced: "If no one continues to bid, this bottle of'Williams I'wine will belong to No. 8. Mr. Victor Neham!"

"3," the auctioneer counted down, "2, 1"

The auctioneer then knocked the hammer and said loudly: "Okay, congratulations to Mr. Victor Neham for bidding for'Williams I'!!!"

After the auction of Williams I wines, Sotheby's auction house then auctioned another four or five collections. At about 10 o'clock, the auction was over! Henry only photographed the "Free City" in the auction this time, when the manager of Sotheby's auction house came to his box. Go through the delivery formalities directly with him.

"First, congratulations to Mr. Williams, your wine sold for a high price of five million dollars!!!" Sotheby's manager laughed.

Henry smiled and said: "Hehe, I thought I would pass the shot. So I bid a price first!"

The Sotheby’s manager smiled slightly, took out several documents, and said: “This is the real estate certificate of the "Free City" and the certificate of the Sotheby's auction house. In addition, we will charge 2o% of the wine of the "Williams I". Commission. Therefore, you will be refunded $40 million!"

Henry nodded to express his understanding, and then completed a series of procedures with the manager of Sotheby's Auction House.

That night, Henry and Kelena opened a room to sleep in a nearby high-end hotel.

Needless to say for a while lingering.

The next day, the headline of the national newspaper was the news about "Williams I" wine. A bottle of wine for five million dollars stunned everyone!

Netizens commented one after another: "We don't understand the world of local tyrants!!!"

The nBc TV station carried out a lot of follow-up reports on this Sotheby's auction. Interviewed the staff of the auction house and the guests that night. Sotheby's auction house also became famous for this auction of "Williams I", and it overpowered another major auction house, Christie's! ! !

When Henry woke up at 1 o'clock the next day, Tony Lind, the manager of the winery, called and told Henry that countless media reporters came to the winery and wanted to find out. In addition, three hotels around the world order "Williams I" wines from wineries, and there is also one private buyer! ! !

Henry hung up and laughed. Curiosity kills the cat. There are always people who are interested in such expensive wine in the world who do not lack local tyrants, but lack things that make them curious!

Henry waited for Karina to finish her dressing up. Just ate Chinese food in the hotel restaurant. At 7 o'clock this afternoon, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be held before then. Henry and Kelena are going to go!

However, after Henry and Kelena had a Chinese meal, Tony Linde called again. This time, his tone was very anxious.

"Mr. Williams, it's not good!!" Tony Lind said anxiously!

Henry asked Kalena to wait in the car. He answered the phone outside, but when he answered the phone, he heard Tony Lind yelling "It's not good", and Henry frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?!!!"

"Not long ago, Lafite Winery, one of the five largest wineries in the world, held a press conference to ridicule our'Williams I'wines. The wines are pure and fancy wines, but inside are actually a kind of inferior wine!!! "

"Our wine currently only sells one bottle, so they dare to make a rash decision?!" Henry was puzzled.

"Mr. Williams, the rich man Victor Neham who bought your wine last night, after getting the'Williams I'wine, showed off in front of one of his friends, claiming that it is the most expensive in the world. The best wine, and his friend is the top of Lafite Winery! After tasting the "Williams I" wine, the high-level of Lafite Winery immediately teased that this wine is compared with Lafite , It’s just rubbish! The next day, Lafite Winery held a press conference, saying that we would expose the true face of our'Williams I'!"

"Williams I" wine is at least the first-class wine, maybe it is a lot behind the top wine, but it is definitely not inferior wine! !

Lafite Manor must have seen the "Williams I" wine hype, and was afraid of threatening its own interests, so it suppressed it. Otherwise, I buy my wine, it's your business

"Mr. Williams, they took the bottle of "Williams I" at the auction and invited more than a dozen senior sommeliers to appraise them at the exhibition. Finally, they always thought that our "Williams I" 'It's inferior wine, there is false deception!!!"

"Fuck, if the sommelier's special Lafite is also inferior, do you believe it or not?!!!" Henry cursed inwardly, "Also the sommelier, all the special ones are for trust!!!"

Tony Lind asked anxiously: "Mr. Williams, what shall we do now? There are already many reporters stuck outside the winery."

"This time it is obvious that Chateau Lafite is discrediting us," Henry said solemnly. "You also invite the tasters to come over to taste the wine, say something good, and then pretend to be pitiful to the media and say Chateau Lafite is afraid of us. To seize their market, so bullying the small, deliberately suppressing and discrediting us!!! First fight a public opinion war and wrestle with them!!!"

Henry said, "It happens to increase the exposure of our winery through this public opinion!"

"Ok!"

"In addition, our winery must do its best to produce top wines! If our wines are also top wines, we can shut them up and leave them speechless!!!"

"Yes, Mr. Williams! I will supervise them and let them work hard to make top wines!" Tony Linde responded.

"Well," Henry replied softly, and then asked, "What is the total assets of Chateau Lafite?"

Tony Lind asked puzzled: "Mr. Williams, why are you asking this?"

Why do you ask this? ? ? Henry sneered coldly in his heart, of course it was an "acquisition"! ! !

Before Henry spoke, Tony Lind said over there: "I don't know about this, but the total assets must be huge!"

"Since you don't know, then you can investigate it!!!" Henry ordered, "That's it, I'm hanging up!"

Henry hung up the phone and got into the car.

Kailena saw his face a little angry, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter with you?"

"A little thing, Lafite Winery held a press conference to discredit the wine of'Williams I'as inferior wine!" Henry said.

"This Lafite Winery is indeed a bit deceiving too much!" Kailena said grievously for Henry.

"Don't talk about this, lest you get angry!" Henry said, "It will be the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show soon, let's go out!"

"Well, good!" Kailena nodded.

"Drive!!!" Henry told the driver.

"Okay, Mr. Williams!"

The car moved slowly, and after a while, the speed speeded up and rushed away!

Although the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has not been held yet ~www.readwn.com~, the trend of letting it out has caused many media to pay attention to this event. When Henry and Kelena arrived at the company, there were already many reporters here. The people of aBc TV station have already been arranged, and the TV station will be live broadcast tonight!

ceo Marcus Christie is checking whether the various preparations are perfect, clothes, lights, music, etc., nothing can be wrong! ! !

Henry walked over and said hello: "Marcus Christie!"

"Oh, Mr. Williams and Miss Kelena, you are finally here!"

"There was a slight delay on the road," Henry asked. "How about it, are all the preparations done?"

"No problem, Mr. Williams, please rest assured!"

"Well, that's good!"
