Chapter 1128 – I am helping you

Bill Gates looked at Paul Allen with pity. He had told Paul Allen not to fight with Feng Yu, but he refused to listen. See… now you had suffered losses.

Some people sitting behind Feng Yu overheard him and swore not to raise the bid after Feng Yu made any bids. How can someone shout 70 million wrongly?

Everyone looked at Paul Allen, one of Microsoft’s Co-founder, and thought to themselves. He is d.a.m.n unlucky today. Spending tens of millions more is nothing to Paul Allen, but he will be the laughing stock after this auction.

Paul Allen sensed people were looking at him and turned to look behind him. Everyone behind him was looking at him with weird expressions. Some of them seem to be holding back their laughter, and some were looking at him pitifully.

Paul Allen turned to look at Feng Yu angrily but saw him chatting with Ralph happily. They seemed to be sharing a joke, and if they are not in this auction, they should be laughing out loud.

The smile on Feng Yu and Ralph’s faces seemed to be mocking Paul Allen. He refused to believe that he cannot trick Feng Yu once!

This time, Paul Allen will make the bid first, and if Feng Yu raise the bid, he will stop immediately.

The next item is another oil painting. This painting’s starting bid is only 10 million, and Paul Allen shouted 20 million without hesitation before looking at Feng Yu.

Feng Yu closed his eyes and did not make any bids.

Feng Yu had come to this auction to buy a few paintings for Kirilenko as his wedding gift. He is not interested in the painting is too cheap. Now, he had won two paintings, and that is a suitable gift.

The remaining paintings were either too cheap or were drawn by some artists Feng Yu have not heard of.

Without Feng Yu bidding and Paul Allen raising the bid too high, no one else bid for this painting. Paul Allen ended up buying another painting at higher prices.

Bill Gates persuaded. “Paul, I think Feng is not going against you on purpose. You should bid normally. If you carry on like this, you will suffer more losses.”

“I don’t believe Feng is only buying two paintings. All the items he bid are oil paintings, and there is one more painting up for bid. I am sure he will bid for that painting.”

Bill Gates shook his head. Those that were blinded with rage will not listen to advise. If he was the one who had to suffer this loss, he would also try to retaliate against Feng Yu.

But Bill Gates knew Feng Yu is very cunning. If he is not careful, he will fall into Feng Yu’s trap.

Although Feng Yu had sold his Microsoft shares, Bill Gates felt they still have opportunities to cooperate in the future. It’s like his relations.h.i.+p with Steve Jobs. They had gone on separate ways in the past but got into cooperation again later.

Furthermore, Microsoft’s cooperation with Feng Yu on Gbox is going to be launch, and it’s not a good idea to worsen their relations.h.i.+p. Gbox is their product to compete with Sony, and it must not fail.

When the final oil painting is up for bidding, Paul Allen stared at Feng Yu. Both did not make any bids, but the other partic.i.p.ants start to raise the price slowly.

Suddenly, Paul Allen saw Feng Yu’s hand move slightly, and he immediately shouts. “16 million!”

This time, Paul Allen only raise the bid by 1 million and is not as impulsive as before. But Feng Yu did not make any bids. Instead, it was a man sitting behind Feng Yu to raise the bid by 500,000 USD.

What is going on? Why is Feng Yu not bidding? Did he give up? Impossible!

Paul Allen suddenly noticed Feng Yu turning to the guy behind him and said something to him with a smile.

Ah!!! Paul Allen knew what is going on. The guy sitting behind Feng Yu is helping Feng Yu to bid for this painting. d.a.m.n! He had nearly let Feng Yu win this painting at a low price.

“18 million!”

Feng Yu did not make any bids, but that guy behind him continued to raise the bids.

Paul Allen sneered. Do you think I will not know that you are asking someone else to bid for you? I will raise the bids. How much can I lose by increasing the bids by a few hundred thousand?

When the bids reached 23.6 million, the guy Feng Yu did not continue, and Paul Allen saw Feng Yu turned back and said something.

Paul Allen had won this painting again, but he frowned. This should be impossible. Why did Feng Yu give up on this painting?

There are no other paintings up for auction, and Feng Yu did not partic.i.p.ate in the biddings.

“Hey, Paul. Congratulations. Today… no. You had made the highest bid for an art piece this year.” Feng Yu showed Paul Allen a thumbs up.

“Hmph! I told you I will be the highest bidder. Do you think I don’t know that you had asked that guy behind you to bid for you?! I won the last painting too!”

“Ask the guy behind me to bid for me?! Are you talking about Roddy? I just got to know him. He is the one who put that painting, up for auction, and he just thanked me. Oh, I advised him not to fight with you for that last painting. Shouldn’t you thank me for helping you save money?”

Paul Allen stared at Feng Yu. What did Feng Yu say? That guy is the seller of , and Feng Yu does not know him?

That means the final painting should also be his! d.a.m.n! I have been fooled!

“Then why are you chatting with Roddy so happily?”

“Ah? I heard he has an Internet Company for sales, and we made an appointment to see if it is worth it for me to acquire. You should know that I have too much spare cash and don’t know what to invest. This is not a good year for internet companies. Many of them went bust, and that Roddy’s company is not doing well. Or else, he will also not sell his private art collection.”

Paul Allen’s expression looks like he had just swallowed a dead fly. He had made the wrong a.s.sumption. He had not created any problems for Feng Yu but made a fool out of himself instead!

“Why did you make such high bids for those paintings?! You all Chinese should prefer those Chinese paintings or porcelain vase!” Paul Allen questioned.

“Didn’t I say earlier? I am buying those paintings to act cultured. Yes. I want to pretend that I know a lot about Westerners’ art. The paintings I bid are all famous painters’ works. What’s wrong? Aren’t you the same?” Feng Yu looks at Paul Allen innocently.

The corner of Paul Allen’s lips twitched. This Feng Yu is only trying to pretend he knows a lot about oil paintings?

You are willing to spend so much money just for showing off?! Then why didn’t you bid for that Pica.s.so’s painting?!

Paul Allen took a few deep breaths and stormed out of the auction hall.

Paul Allen swore that he will never buy another oil painting in his life!
