Of course.
The value of the Painting Soul series was indeed priceless in Blue Star!
Two billion was enough to make everyone’s head spin in the fight to secure it!
But two billion wasn’t the point, the point was to sponsor the Qin Continent Spring Festival Gala with twenty billion first!
That’s where the true value of the Painting Soul series lay!
Did they really think they could take the painting home with just two billion?
For a moment,
none of the six tycoons said a word.
Being smart, they knew better than to engage in cutthroat competition at that moment; once it began, it could spiral out of control!
“Everyone,” Sun Yaohuo was in no rush, “do you know why I chose the six of you? Because you six are my best friends in the business world of Blue Star. If I hadn’t preferred to give my friends the first pick, I could have easily invited dozens of tycoons for the bidding today.”
“Director Sun,” Wang Xin rubbed his hands, “there’s no need to mention our friendship, of course, but twenty billion for sponsorship is really too extravagant; it’s just a local Spring Festival Gala, and there’s no way to recoup the cost.”
“President Wang is mistaken,” Sun Yaohuo said. “The Qin Continent Spring Festival Gala has great potential, as Teacher Admirable Fish is planning something big. He has prepared a lot of great programs, including contributions from Teacher Shadow and Teacher Chu Kuang, Teacher Admirable Fish’s good friends, who have also been invited to come over and contribute to the Gala.”
The words sent a glimmer of interest through the eyes of the several tycoons.
A person’s reputation had the power of the shadow cast by a great tree; the Three Bros’ name held substantial value.
However,
after much thought, the six of them exchanged glances and ultimately shook their heads.
“It’s too risky,” they all indicated their reluctance after looking at one another.
“We’re not fools,” Fang Mokan said earnestly. “No matter how much we love Shadow’s Painted Soul Series, it’s impossible to invest tens of billions in the Qin Continent Spring Festival Gala just for this painting. After all, a local Spring Festival Gala cannot compete with the Zhong Continent Spring Festival Gala; the price you’re asking is clearly what Zhong Continent would dare to ask for.”
“That’s a shame,” Sun Yaohuo sighed. “I’ll have to look for someone else then.”
“Excuse us!” With gritted teeth, the six of them took their leave one after another.
Five minutes after the six left,
Sun Yaohuo’s female assistant appeared, looking worried: “Boss, this doesn’t seem to align with our plan. They don’t want to agree; did we ask for too much?”
“No,” Sun Yaohuo said. “Everything is going according to my plan.”
The assistant was stunned, and then she heard Sun Yaohuo’s phone suddenly ring.
Without any surprise, Sun Yaohuo casually answered, smilingly said, “President Wang, why are you calling me right after leaving?”
“Twenty-two billion, I’ll sponsor, and the painting is mine.”
On the other end of the line, President Wang spoke, his tone clearly firm and decisive, without a hint of difficulty—in stark contrast to the Wang Xin who had refused outright a moment ago in the clubhouse.
Beside Sun Yaohuo,
the female assistant’s eyes widened in disbelief!
Standing right by Sun Yaohuo’s side, she could hear the phone call.
She was astonished, unable to understand why such a dramatic reversal had occurred.
Why did Wang Xin change his mind the moment he stepped outside?
Was all this within the boss’s expectations?
More unexpectedly, Sun Yaohuo put on an act and sighed, “Did you guys plan this? Just now, each and every one of you said the price was too high, and now you’re calling me one by one to secure it. Whom should I agree with?”
The assistant: “…”
You only received one call!
It all suddenly made sense to her.
The Wang Xin on the phone had clearly become anxious: “Damn it, I knew they were all playing dead with their opponent. Director Sun, let’s not talk about it; I’ll raise my offer. How about twenty-five billion?”
“I’ll think about it, I’ve got another call, I need to hang up now.”
Sun Yaohuo said and hung up the phone, then his phone rang again.
This time it was Miao Bai calling.
Miao Bai said, “Director Sun, I’ve given it some thought. A twenty billion sponsorship plus the two billion for the painting—I agree.”
Well, well!
The female assistant was terrified!
These capitalists were ruthlessly terrifying!
Now she completely understood; those capitalists had feigned inability to accept the deal, merely to lull their competition into thinking that agreeing to Sun Yaohuo meant being ‘a fool with more money than sense.’
In reality, they had all secretly decided to seize this opportunity!
So, these people probably couldn’t wait to call Sun Yaohuo as soon as they stepped out of the building!
As if they had planned it indeed!
However, in this series of events, it was Sun Yaohuo who was the most fearsome: “President Wang just offered twenty-five billion, Mr. Miao, what do you think…”
“Damn it!” Miao Bai cursed savagely. “I knew they were acting with me just now. I’ll offer twenty-six billion!”
Such a modest increase.
Not cutthroat enough.
Sun Yaohuo said with a cynical smile, “Then I’ll think about it some more, I’ve got another call, I’ll hang up for now.”
With that,
Sun Yaohuo ended the call and then picked up Fang Mokan’s call.
Fang Mokan came straight to the point, his voice tense, “Director Sun, who were you talking to just now?”
Sun Yaohuo stammered, “Uh… erm… ah… no one, just a few friends.”
Fang Mokan understood right away: “Is it Miao Bai, Wang Xin, or Chi Ba? Trying to play these tricks on me, do you take me for a fool? No matter how much they offer, I’ll add one billion on top, how about that?”
“This… I’ve got to take a call from Director Zhang.”
Sun Yaohuo hung up the phone, his smile brimming with satisfaction.
