Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 468 - 467 Too Shabby

Anyway, Old Man Gu had already set his heart on a limit of one hundred and thirty million.

Moreover, Old Man Gu felt that based on his understanding of Su Junqiang now, Su Junqiang would probably only raise his bid another couple of times and would not continue to "entangle" with him.

So, even though he knew that coming up with one hundred and thirty million in cash would be very difficult for the Gu Family and himself.

Old Man Gu, for the sake of what he called face, still wanted to "gamble."

After all, Old Man Gu had already figured it out, at worst he could just live a quieter life for a few years and stop chasing after those young girls.

For Old Man Gu, at his age, going out to "play" had already become somewhat of a challenge.

Some "vegetarian" days would also be good for his health.

...

"Grandpa, it’s your move."

Neither Su Mu nor Elder Su turned their heads to see who the Auctioneer referred to as Boss Gu.

This question didn’t even need to be guessed; both Su Mu and Elder Su were very clear in their hearts. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Except for that Old Man Gu, which other Old Man Gu would be so persistent?

If Old Man Gu really liked Tang Bohu’s "Returning Home on a Donkey," then Old Man Gu’s bid would definitely not just be increasing by one million at a time.

Elder Su had already led the way, directly increasing the bid by ten million.

If Old Man Gu really wanted to win this eighth auction item, he wouldn’t be doing such insincere things.

"Ah Fook."

Elder Su smiled at his grandson and didn’t say anything.

Turning his head, Elder Su called out to Ah Fook by his side, then stretched out two fingers.

Seeing his grandfather’s gesture, Su Mu’s mouth turned up into a smile.

That stingy Old Man Gu was only willing to increase by one million at a time, whereas Grandpa was about to push Old Man Gu into a corner with his move.

Ah Fook nodded at the Elder, indicating that he had received the Elder’s instruction.

Without waiting for the Auctioneer to call out the next bid.

Actually, the Auctioneer didn’t really want to call out Old Man Gu’s bid at all.

How should I put it, although the total price seemed quite high.

But the Auctioneer always felt that Old Man Gu’s bid was too frugal.

Ah Fook raised the bidding paddle in his hand.

"One hundred and twenty-seven million."

When the Elder raised one finger, it meant a ten million increase, so raising two fingers obviously meant an increase of twenty million.

This point was clear not just to Ah Fook, but also to Su Mu.

"One hundred and twenty-seven million, Old Master Su bids one hundred and twenty-seven million."

"I must say, I’ve never heard or seen the kind of boldness that Old Master Su has."

"Just now, Elder Su had already bid twice, each time increasing it by twenty million."

"Who would have thought that this time Elder Su would go straight for a twenty million increase in one go."

"The Su Family’s leading position in Huadong City really isn’t just for show."

The Auctioneer had a lot to say today.

Perhaps because it was a rare opportunity to be in contact with the Su Family, the Auctioneer was following the principle of needing to flatter as much as possible, to leave an impression in front of Elder Su and the young master of the Su Family.

That’s why the Auctioneer started the flattery without end.

Of course, the Auctioneer wasn’t the only one who wanted to flatter Elder Su.

The people present were bosses at their own companies but showed great deference in front of the Su Family.

"Old Master Su is Old Master Su, I only want to say one word now, and that is respect."

"If you don’t respect Old Master Su, whom else would you respect?"

"Isn’t that the truth? Old Master Su has always been my idol."

"Now let’s see how Old Man Gu slinks back home with his tail between his legs."

"Slink back home? If it were me, I’d cover my face and leave right now."

"How can Old Man Gu still show his face here after such an embarrassing situation?"

"But look, Old Man Gu is still sitting there, not looking like he’s going to leave. Do you think Old Man Gu has really lost his mind?"

...

Everyone’s discussion about Old Man Gu was indeed quite "enthusiastic."

Of course, this enthusiasm was not something Old Man Gu would be too fond of.

Because there wasn’t a single good word to be heard.

It wasn’t just a lack of good words—the comments were almost like direct jabs at Old Man Gu’s heart.

Old Man Gu did indeed have a moment where he was completely dumbfounded.

Old Man Gu had attempted to snatch deals twice in succession, and now with Elder Su’s bid of twenty million, it certainly threw off Old Man Gu’s plans.

According to Old Man Gu’s estimation, this was Su Junqiang’s second move.

It’s not that Su Junqiang had only raised the bid a second time.

This ’second move’ refers to Su Junqiang’s actions after Old Man Gu began his attempts to outbid him.

Just that Old Man Gu really didn’t expect Su Junqiang’s second move against him would be to directly raise the bid by twenty million.

It shouldn’t be like this, Old Man Gu thought Su Junqiang would only escalate the price of the Tang Bohu original to around one hundred and thirty million on his third move.

Now it was only Su Junqiang’s second move, and the price had shot up to one hundred and twenty-seven million already.

So, if Su Junqiang intended to continue raising the bid, his third move would definitely not be less than the second’s twenty million increase.

Sweat began to bead on Old Man Gu’s forehead.

He had already cut off Su Junqiang twice.

This was something everyone could clearly see.

Old Man Gu had already begun to declare war on Su Junqiang through his actions.

If at this point, Old Man Gu decided to throw in the towel just because Su Junqiang had added twenty million, wouldn’t that be conceding defeat?

It was well known that the Gu Family’s strength couldn’t compare to the Su Family’s; Old Man Gu didn’t need to prove anything for everyone to know that.

Who in Huadong City could rival the Su Family in economic strength?

You really couldn’t find anyone fit to match them.

Hence, losing to Su Junqiang wasn’t a big deal for Old Man Gu.

The crux of the matter now was, Old Man Gu had been stubbornly raising his bid twice before.

If he suddenly backed down now, it would be nothing more than leaving everyone with a joke.

Young Master Gu shuddered when he heard Mr. Fook from the Su Family quote the price of one hundred and twenty-seven million.

Young Master Gu subconsciously looked toward his grandfather.

Young Master Gu only hoped that at this moment, his grandfather’s mind would be clear.

The Su Family was not someone their Gu Family could afford to provoke.

Back at the villa gate, Young Master Gu had merely complained to the security staff.

After all, Young Master Gu didn’t recognize the young master of the Su Family at the time, which is why he felt it was unfair.

If he had known that the super handsome guy was the young master of the Su Corporation, Young Master Gu guaranteed he would have kept his mouth shut and not said a word out of line.

What does one hundred and twenty-seven million mean?

Anyway, Young Master Gu had never been in touch with such a large sum in his whole life.

Even the large villa the Gu Family lived in wasn’t worth that much.

To spend so much money just to buy a painting that was only meant to be looked at and had no practical use?

Young Master Gu couldn’t see how it was a good deal no matter which way he looked at it.
