One hundred million, he had already given too much, and it was also his entire fortune, he absolutely could not back down.
"What? One hundred million?"
And right after his words fell, the entire auction hall suddenly burst into a huge commotion.
"One hundred million? Is that for real?"
"My God!"
"Has this guy gone mad? Where did he get so much money?"
"No way, I have to stop him, otherwise, he will definitely snatch away that painting!"
...
While these people were discussing, Zhao Tianming’s face beca even more ferocious. He hadn’t expected Liu Zheng to make such a lion’s bid, directly raising the price to a level he could not accept.
He felt this guy was simply insulting him.
"Two hundred million!"
Imdiately, he gritted his teeth and shouted out the price of two hundred million.
This bid of two hundred million instantly stunned those around him.
A regular auction house maybe gets three or four hundred million a year, and now, he had actually spent seventy million, this was simply an enormous gamble!
"Hmph, I want to see if you can co up with more money!"
"Haha, let’s see how much he can co up with now; we’ve got to make him cough up blood and die!"
"Exactly, we won’t let him off unless he’s bled dry; he’ll never learn to respect others!"
"Haha, right!"
At this ti, everyone also started to mock.
Liu Zheng too was angered by these voices, a sinister gleam flashing in his eyes.
But he couldn’t afford to erupt at this mont; otherwise, he would really be the laughingstock of others.
"Two hundred million for the first ti!"
"Two hundred million for the second ti!"
"Two hundred million for the third ti, congratulations to Mr. Zhao Tianming for successfully acquiring this ’Painting’!"
Following the announcent by the host, Liu Zheng too clenched his fists and smashed them hard against the table.
Crack~~~
As he exerted too much force, his table also broke apart.
And in the instant the table shattered, the painting slid from Liu Zheng’s hands and fell onto the base of the auction podium.
Watching this scene unfold, everyone’s faces turned sowhat strange.
They simply couldn’t imagine what would happen in front of this painting.
However, all those present shook their heads and then left the place one after another.
In their view, the painting was destined not to be sold.
But after everything had ended, the painting had already been taken away by Zhao Tianming.
"This guy is really too despicable, actually directly doubling the price!"
Looking at the auction scene which had now quieted down, the faces of so guests were filled with resentnt.
But at this ti, they could only watch helplessly as Liu Zheng took the painting away.
After all, that guy wasn’t just soone with a powerful family background.
His father was also one of the most famous treasure appraisers in the country and a well-known jeweler in Huaxia.
His grandfather was even a Huaxia-born tycoon.
These two backgrounds combined were enough to make him one of Huaxia’s most dazzling nouveaux riches.
In this world, many people rose because of their family’s power, and there were also many who climbed up through their own efforts.
But regardless of who it was, nobody wanted soone else to trample on their success.
So in their eyes, Zhao Tianming was a complete idiot.
What he did was simply not a wise decision.
...
"Kid, I’ll take the painting, but rember this well, don’t let see you again, or else, I won’t let you off easily!"
Seeing that the auction had already ended, Liu Zheng coldly dropped such a remark and then left without looking back.
"Hehe, do you think you can escape today?"
Watching Liu Zheng’s departure, Zhao Tianming also let out a cold laugh, then reached into his pocket, preparing to pull out that little note.
But just as his fingers touched the note, he suddenly stopped.
At that mont, a piece of paper slowly fell into his palm, displaying that address.
Seeing this, he was stunned for a mont, but quickly, he realized what had happened.
It turned out that the young girl had given him that little note.
Thinking of this, a smile spread across his face.
Although he was not short of money at the mont, getting that painting would still be very worthwhile.
"Thank you, young girl."
After speaking, he left directly with that little piece of paper.
At that mont, he didn’t notice that after his departure, a pair of beautiful eyes was still gazing at his figure, watching his silhouette disappear.
...
Elsewhere.
After the painting had been auctioned off, the people around couldn’t help but start discussing it.
However, they all unanimously believed that Liu Zheng had lost.
"This painting is the treasure of Liu Corporation, and now this young man has taken it away, it’s simply a windfall!"
"Yes, this painting, if put up for auction, would probably fetch at least several billion!"
"I disagree!"
Just as people were expressing their sentints, a voice suddenly rang out.
Hearing this voice, everyone present was slightly startled.
They all turned toward the direction of the sound.
When they saw an older man, they were all puzzled.
"Esteed sir, may I ask what your opinion is?"
Seeing the elder stand up, the other wealthy young masters also began to speak.
"If this painting were indeed auctioned, it could fetch a minimum of fifty million!"
"And most importantly, this item is an antique from Huaxia, if we really can obtain it, even if our family’s business is huge, it could increase several tis over!"
Hearing the elder’s words, everyone’s faces showed a deep shock.
"Fifty million! That’s not a low price!"
"Indeed, this Zhao Tianming may look only eighteen years old, but to co up with such a huge sum of money, he must have a significant background."
"Yes, he’s of Chinese descent, and rumor has it that he is the illegitimate son of a top magnate."
"Whatever the background, it commands respect!"
"In this world, there are always those who have ans beyond our understanding, this ti Liu Zheng has also fallen!"
...
As the crowd discussed, a faint smile appeared on the old man’s face as he said, "Ladies and gentlen, I know what you’re all thinking, but let’s continue to watch and see how the Zhao Family handles this. If they don’t back down, then, don’t bla us for not showing sympathy."
Hearing the old man’s words, everyone nodded in agreent.
anwhile, within a luxurious private room.
Liu Zheng sat there, his hands tightly clutching the painting.
His eyes had turned blood red with extre rage.
But this was all he could do, as he knew that in Zhao Tianming’s circle, the most important thing was who acted first.
If he were to strike first, he would definitely face the mockery and scorn of everyone there.
Beside him was a woman in a long white dress.
However, there was also a hint of gloom in her brows.
Her eyes were filled with anger.
Because she hadn’t expected Zhao Tianming to be so crazy as to auction off the painting for fifty million directly.
