Silicon Valley

“Because the bottle is crafted by the world-renowned jewelry designer Jose-Davalos, plated with 24k gold and pure white gold, and set with 6666 perfectly cut real diamonds, the whole bottle looks like a beautiful piece of wine. Artwork, so this bottle is very expensive, the starting price is $2 million!!!”

After the auctioneer finished speaking, there was a commotion in the hall.

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

Hehe, it's nearly a million dollars to buy 6,666 real diamonds...

I still think it's too expensive!!!

Yes, yes, it is too expensive!

I don't think anyone would spend two million dollars on a bottle of wine!

...

After a minute or two of discussion in the hall, there was still no bid.

The auctioneer said: I count down 10 seconds. If there is still no bid, this bottle of wine must be passed in!

10, 9, 8, 7...

The countdown started, and in the box, Kelina said to Henry, It seems that no one will bid!

Henry smiled embarrassedly, Forget it, I took it myself, if it's a flop, it would be unpleasant to spread!!!

Kaelina covered her mouth and smiled and said, How can wine be so expensive, regret it now...

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

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

Are the people in box k001 a fool to buy wine for $2 million?

The person in box k001 must be a very rich man, and he took a $15 million mansion before!

It's okay to buy a luxury house. After all, it can appreciate in value. Buying a bottle of wine for 2 million is too exaggerated!!!

That's right...

As soon as the auctioneer saw that the bidder was a guest in box k001, he knew that Henry Williams himself had bought the Williams I wine. The auctioneer understood it in his heart, but his face remained calm, and then he said in a very bewitching language: The customer of k001 is really generous!!! If I had money, I would also buy a bottle. Then taste it. What does the wine that billionaire Henry Williams drink on weekdays taste like. It's a pity that I have no money! Well, is there any bidder now? If there is no bid, this bottle of the most expensive wine in the world will belong to There are guests in box k001!!!”

The auctioneer glanced around, not feeling a little disappointed, and then said: Since no one bids, then I declare that the 'Williams I' wine belongs to k001...

Wait!!!!

I'm giving $2.5 million!!!!

A voice sounded in vain in the hall. Everyone followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man with a pot belly raised his hand and shouted loudly.

Who is this? He actually paid $2.5 million for a bottle of wine?

I know him, his name is Victor Nahum, an oil tycoon in Alaska. Nouveau riche, to be exact! He discovered a large oil complex in Alaska a few years ago. He made a fortune. .Become a billionaire!!!”

It turned out to be a nouveau riche...

Hehe, this person is really enough for two hundred and five...

...

At this time, in box k001, Henry breathed a sigh of relief and said, Look, isn't there someone rushing to buy my wine?

Kaelina looked at the screen, the fat man's smug smile, very speechless. He turned his head and said to Henry, It's a coincidence that you have met such a rich upstart... Otherwise, how can you sell your wine!

Henry laughed and said, This wine is sold to those nouveau riche, pretending to be a special wine!!!

Kaelina burst out laughing, And pretending to be a special wine? I see, you are the most forceful...

In the hall, Victor Nahum said proudly: What is two million dollars, I can't lose more than two million playing cards in one night!!! Since this is the drink that billionaire Henry Williams usually drinks , I just want to buy it and try it out. Let’s see what it tastes like!!!”

Look what!!!

You can also bid if you don't agree!!!

Seeing the contemptuous eyes around him, Victor Nahum couldn't help shouting loudly.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder was strong, the auctioneer hurriedly came out to be a peacemaker and changed their topic, Everyone calm down, the auction is still going on, this gentleman bid $2.5 million, is there anyone else who bid higher?

Fuck, a nouveau riche is so arrogant, I'm offering $3 million!!! A middle-aged man in a black suit and glasses, who looked suave, raised his hand and shouted.

Victor Nahum hated people saying he was a nouveau riche, stood up angrily, and shouted: You ****, I have four million dollars, you have a way to continue to follow, don't follow It's a coward!!!

Just follow, 4.5 million!!!

I'm 5 million!!! Victor Nahum shouted!

In box k001, Henry and Kelina looked at each other, but they didn't expect the scene to turn out like this...

Kelina said: The 'Williams I' wine is probably going to shock the world!!!

Henry touched his nose, and said incredulously, I didn't expect to meet two wonderful creatures fighting here!!!

Hehe, their grudges, on the contrary, completed the 'Williams I' wine. Kaelina smiled, I guess when they calm down, they will regret it to death!!!

In the hall, after Victor Nahum shouted 5 million, the other party did not bid.

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

The auctioneer looked at the middle-aged man with glasses and saw that he had no intention of continuing to bid, so he announced: If no one continues to bid, this bottle of 'Williams I' will belong to No. 8 wine. Mr. Victor Nahum!

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

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

After the auction of the Williams I wine, Sotheby's auction house then auctioned four or five collections. At about 10 o'clock, the auction ended! Henry only bought the City of Liberty at 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 of all, congratulations to Mr. Williams, your wine sold for $5 million!!! the Sotheby's manager laughed.

Henry smiled and said, Haha. I thought it would pass, so I asked for a price first!

The Sotheby's manager smiled slightly, took out several documents, and said, This is the real estate certificate of 'Liberty City' and the certificate of Sotheby's auction house. In addition, we will charge 20% for the 'Williams I' wine. The commission, therefore, will refund you $4 million!

Henry nodded to show his understanding, and then completed a series of procedures with the manager of Sotheby's auction house.

That night, Henry and Kelina opened a room to sleep in a nearby upscale hotel.

A lingering. Needless to say.

the next day. The headlines of the national newspapers were about the Williams I wine, which was $5 million a bottle, and everyone was stunned!

Netizens commented: The world of local tyrants, we don't understand!!!

NBC TV conducted a lot of follow-up reports on this Sotheby's auction, interviewing the staff of the auction house and the guests of the evening. Sotheby's auction house is also famous for this auction of Williams I, and it overwhelms another big auction house - Christie's auction house! ! !

When Henry woke up at 10 o'clock the next day, the winery's administrator, Tony Lind, called and told Henry that countless media reporters had come to the winery. Want to find out. In addition, three hotels worldwide have ordered Williams I wines from the winery, and there is also a private buyer! ! !

Henry hung up the phone and laughed unconsciously. Curiosity killed the cat, there are always people who are interested in such expensive wine... There is no shortage of local tyrants in the world, but there is a shortage of things that make them curious!

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

However, after Henry and Kaelina had eaten Chinese food, Tony Lind called again, this time, his tone was very anxious...

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

Henry asked Kaelina to wait in the car. He answered the phone outside, but as soon as he answered the phone, he heard Tony Linde shouting, It's not good. Henry's brows couldn't help but wrinkle, and he asked in a deep voice, What happened? What's the matter?!!

Not long ago, Chateau Lafite, one of the top five wineries in the world, held a press conference, and made a great irony about our 'Williams I' wine, saying that our wine is purely fancy on the outside, but in fact it is a kind of inferior quality. liquor!!!

We only sell one bottle of our wine, so they dare to make a judgment?! Henry said puzzled.

Mr Williams, the rich man who bought your wine last night, Victor Nahum, after getting the 'Williams I' wine, went to show it off to one of his friends, claiming it was the best wine in the world. The most expensive wine, and his friend is the executive of Chateau Lafite! After tasting the wine of 'Williams I', the executive of Chateau Lafite immediately teased that this wine is the same as Lafite. Than, it's just rubbish! The next day, Chateau Lafite held a press conference, saying that they would expose the true face of our 'Williams I'!

Williams I wine is at least high-quality wine, and it may be a lot worse than top-level wine, but it is definitely not inferior wine! !

Lafite Manor must have seen the hype of Williams I wine very hot, and was afraid of threatening its own interests, so it suppressed it. Otherwise, I'll sell my wine, it's none of your business...

Mr. Williams, they took the bottle of 'Williams I' from the auction and invited more than a dozen senior wine tasters to identify them at the press conference, and finally agreed that our 'Williams I' was 'It's inferior wine, there is false deception!!!

Fuck, if all the sommeliers were invited by me, your Lafite wines would also be of inferior quality. Do you believe it?!! Henry cursed inwardly, And the sommeliers, all of them are so special. Tow!!!

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

This time, it's obviously Château Lafite who is smearing us, Henry said solemnly, You also invite the sommeliers, let them come over to taste the wine, say something nice, and then pretend to be pitiful to the media, saying that Château Lafite is afraid of us. Seize their market, so use the big to bully the small, deliberately suppress and smear us!!! Fight the public opinion war first, and wrestle with them!!!”

Henry said, Just through this public opinion to increase the exposure of our winery!

Um!

In addition, our wineries must do their best to develop top-quality wines! If our wines are also top-level wines, they can shut up and leave them speechless!!!

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

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

Tony Lind wondered: Mr. Williams, why are you asking this?

Ask this for what? ? ? Henry sneered in his heart, of course it was an acquisition! ! !

Before Henry could speak, Tony Linde said, I don't know about this, but the total assets must be huge!

Since you don't know, then you should investigate!!! Henry ordered, That's it, I hang up!

Henry hung up the phone and got into the car.

Seeing his face a little angry, Kaelina couldn't help but ask, What's the matter with you?

Just a little thing, Chateau Lafite held a press conference to discredit the 'Williams I' wine as inferior wine! Henry said.

This Château Lafite is indeed a bit deceiving! Kaelina said with an injustice for Henry.

Don't talk about this, so as not to get angry! Henry said, It's the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show soon, let's go!

Well, okay! Kaelina nodded.

Drive!!! Henry told the driver.

Okay, Mr. Williams!

The car started slowly, and after a while, it speeded up and galloped away!

...

...

Although the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has not yet been held, the wind released has attracted many media attention to this event. When Henry and Kaelina arrived at the company, there were already many reporters here. The people of ABC TV have already arranged in place, and the TV broadcast will be broadcast tonight!

CEO Marcus Christie is checking all the preparations for perfection, clothes, lighting, music and more, nothing can go wrong! ! !

Henry walked over to say hello: Marcus Christie!

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

There was a little delay on the way, Henry asked, how is it, are the preparations all done?

No problem, Mr. Williams, don't worry!

Well, that's fine!
