The City's Invincible Soldier King
C283 Not just a battle of face
The performance of the crowd caused Chen Gefeng's expression to become even more unsightly, and made him deeply understand a principle. Even though the Chen Family was powerful, they were not the Overlord.
At the very most, the Chen family was only an extremely powerful overlord.
Hegemony could only dominate a region, not unify the world.
Hence, if the Chen Clan got into trouble, they would surely rise to prominence. The countless forces suppressed by the Chen Clan would seize the opportunity to challenge the Chen Clan's position as the hegemon.
If one wanted to maintain their supremacy, they would have to exert pressure at every turn and trample those who dared to challenge the Chen Clan's position to death. Only this way would they be able to cause fear in the hearts of the others, not daring to rashly make enemies with the Chen Clan.
To Chen Gefeng, the fight for the diamonds was not just a matter of face, but also a means to maintain the Chen Family's position of hegemony.
"550 million."
Chen Gefeng slowly looked at the crowd and said with a cold voice.
Chen Gefeng's gaze caused the crowd to become silent, but the moment he turned his head, they started to whisper again.
Five hundred and fifty million just wanted to protect the Chen family's face?
The Chen Clan's reputation was not that cheap.
The corner of Long Lin's mouth formed a faint sneer, "Seven hundred and fifty million."
Whoosh.
Raising the price by 200 million at once, what was he planning to do?
The crowd burst into an uproar once again.
Because of Chen Gefeng's participation, the bid increase increased from ten million each time to twenty million. After that, the mysterious man raised the bid by fifty million each time, and then pushed the bid increase to one hundred million right after.
Chen Gefeng made a move once again, pushing the bid increase to a new level of one hundred and fifty million.
However, this mysterious man pushed the price to 200 million and set a new record.
Now that things had developed to this point, even direct male cancer patients could tell that this mysterious man and Chen Gefeng were using qi, and that the matter had completely deviated from the original intention of the auction.
The young masters' battle qi was not rare in the auction, but it was rare to get hundreds of millions of battle qi like this. At least, no one present had ever seen it before.
The crowd became more interested, and the whispers became more intense.
"Do you feel ashamed to meet me?" Chen Gefeng looked at Long Lin who was using a sun hat and big sunglasses to cover his face and asked with a cold smile.
"I'm different from you."
Long Lin laughed coldly, "I earned all of my money personally, not like you who are acting like a young master, waving around while holding the gold signboard given by your father. I admit that I indeed do not have the power to fight against the Chen family head on, but the problem is, I am not used to seeing you relying on nothing, so I can only hide my face and fight with you."
Long Lin's words struck a deep chord in everyone's hearts, especially those who wanted to become a goddess but did not dare to disrespect Chen Gefeng. They even nodded repeatedly, purposely raising their voices to provoke Chen Gefeng.
"Feeling uncomfortable, right?" Long Lin looked at Chen Gefeng and sneered, "You have two choices, either give up on the Chen family's face, and let me pay a huge price to get this diamond. But if this is the case, then your Chen Gefeng will immediately become famous in the China's business circles, and your Chen family's face will become worthless, because I have already proven to the world that smacking the Chen family's face is actually not difficult, at least, not as hard as you imagined."
"As for the second reason, it's even simpler. Your Chen Clan has plenty of money, and it's nothing more than pouring it all out, to the point where I can't afford to continue bidding for it. At the same time, you can also tell the world how heavy the price for challenging the Chen Clan is."
Long Lin's straightforward words made Chen Gefeng feel as if he had swallowed a living mouse.
But Chen Gefeng had no choice but to admit that Long Lin's words were very reasonable.
The only way for an overlord to make people not dare to fight back, and even more so, to attack in groups was to maintain an undefeated momentum.
Looking at the Chen Gefeng whose face was filled with uncertainty and feeling unwell, Long Lin's sneer became even more obvious.
I'm not really interested in diamond rings, I'm just going to make you sick to death.
"Has Chen Shao decided?" Long Lin looked at Chen Gefeng, his face full of ridicule: "Do you want money without shame, or do you want face without money?"
"You …" Chen Gefeng's face turned ashen.
"Cut the crap, do you have any shame?"
Long Lin's words had angered Chen Gefeng to the point that he wanted to kill someone, but no matter what, killing someone in front of everyone's eyes, was unrealistic.
"One billion." Chen Gefeng looked at Long Lin, and said with an ice-cold voice.
Whoosh.
The crowd once again went into an uproar as the price increased by 250 million.
"One billion and fifty million." Long Lin said with a face full of playfulness, "This is the maximum amount I can bear. As long as Chen Shao increases the price by another ten million, no, two million, I will give up on this fight."
"Good, very good." Chen Gefeng stared at Long Lin with a dagger-like gaze, and said slowly, "This time, I admit defeat. One billion and fifty-two million.
"Chen Shao is indeed magnanimous." Long Lin said in a weird tone, "The Chen family is indeed worthy of being the overlord of the business circles of China, and the Chen Shao is indeed worthy of being the Chen family's most favored third generation."
"Domineering, indeed domineering."
Looking at Long Lin's thumbs up and seeing his playful expression, Chen Gefeng was so angry that his lungs almost burst.
From the surface, he had indeed won this round.
But after this matter, Chen Gefeng's name would definitely shake the entire China's business circles.
Using his power to bully others, he was instead bought at a sky-high price of one billion one hundred and fifty-two million for a diamond that was actually only worth two hundred million.
At first glance, Chen Gefeng might have lost face and earned some money, but in reality, Chen Gefeng had not won anything.
All things have one thing and then there must be two.
Today, he was battered and exhausted by this man. Tomorrow, there would be more people who would stand out and use the same method to make him bleed.
Although the Chen Clan was powerful, they were not invincible.
Once everyone learnt this mysterious man, Chen Gefeng would be bullied everywhere and the Chen family would be besieged.
No matter how strong an Overlord was, he could not hold up against all the enemies of the world.
This was not just a battle of face.
The effects of this battle would be amplified like the butterfly effect.
No matter what, he had to find out the true identity of this man and destroy the foundation he built with great effort. This way, he could tell the world that the price for provoking the Chen family was to be completely crushed by the Chen family.
That was the only way to eliminate the consequences of the dispute.
After a short period of confusion, the final item was brought up onto the stage by the sexy ceremony.
The most important object in the collection was an ancient jade beauty sculpture.
Gold has a price, jade has no price.
After verification, this piece of ancient jade was a product from the Yin and Shang era, with a starting price of 220 million.
To date, the highest auction price for jade artifacts was one hundred thirty-eight million China coins.
Even if this piece of ancient jade was sold at a low price, it would set a new record for the price of the jade artifact.
Long Lin wasn't really interested in entertainment, but suddenly, the dragon-shaped carvings at his feet heated up until it was boiling hot.
This was the second time Long Lin encountered such a situation.
The last time was when Sai Te was hiding in the church. In the end, the dragon-shaped carvings melted the Ascetic Sage statue and sent him a large amount of pure energy, helping him to break through to the initial stage of the young dragon.
To Long Lin, money was only for himself, but power was the foundation.
No matter what, he had to take this ancient jade.
