Chapter 556 Who Is the Father?
556
Xu Taiping's quotation made the entire venue quiet down.
Many people suspect that something is wrong with their ears.
five million? Others have given out 12 million, but you have given out 5 million. What does this mean?
Is it just for fun?
"Sir, I'm sorry, you may not have heard what I just said. Our foreign friend has already bid 12 million." The host pointed at Martin and said.
Martin glanced at Xu Taiping and showed a contemptuous smile.
"Five million, plus a face from me, Xu Taiping." Xu Taiping sat in his seat, crossed his legs, and said calmly.
The host's expression was extremely embarrassing. He was the royal auctioneer of Qiushi Auction. He came from out of town, so he didn't know who Xu Taiping was. Now Xu Taiping said that his face was worth at least 7 million. This It's so funny.
However, what surprised the host was that he originally thought that everyone in the audience would laugh at Xu Taiping's overestimation of his abilities, but unexpectedly, Xu Taiping was sitting there, and everyone around him was looking at Xu Taiping, but no one laughed. ?
Everyone looked at Xu Taiping with solemn expressions and remained silent.
"Mr. Xu, you are a noble person. I know that your face is worth money. However, this is an auction, and the auction must be conducted according to the rules. The one with the highest price wins," the host said.
"Are you saying that my face, Xu Taiping, is not worth seven million?" Xu Taiping asked with a half-smile.
The host shut up decisively. He had already vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Can any of you tell him, is my face worth seven million?" Xu Taiping looked around and asked.
"Boss Xu, you are kidding. Your face is worth not to mention 7 million, but 70 million!" A person sitting in the front row said quickly.
Xu Taiping glanced at the man, smiled, and said, "I remember you, CK Hutchison Investments, Li Kaiping."
The person who spoke was overjoyed and said quickly, "It's an honor for me to have Boss Xu remember me, haha."
"Absurd!" Martin stood up coldly and said, "I have traveled all over the world and I have never seen such a shameless person. It is shameful to have no money. What is shameful is that you still want to force things without money. What are you doing? You are robbing!"
"This is in China." Xu Taiping sneered and said, "This is not the whole world you talk about. There are rules here. Why don't you sit down for me."
Seeing Xu Taiping's sneer, Martin felt a little frightened, but when he thought that there were so many people here, Xu Taiping would definitely not dare to mess with him, so he still had the courage to say, "Is it true that China is a country that can not follow the rules?" A place?"
"This is Jiangyuan City. There are rules here, and I have the final say on the rules here." Xu Taiping said domineeringly, "I would like to see it. I bid five million. Who the hell is that? I dare to give it to you."
"Mr. Xu, calm down, calm down!" A man in a suit and tie walked to the center of the stage, took the microphone from the host's hand and said, "Mr. Xu, we didn't know you liked this film. It's all our fault. , we will not sell the film today. If anything happens, we will talk about it slowly backstage, and please give me some face, Mr. Xu."
"Why don't you sell it? I paid for it, but you won't sell it? Are you treating me like Xu Taiping for fun?" Xu Taiping asked.
"This..." The man in suit and leather shoes was also a little confused. Qiushi Auction had a background in the capital city. This background was very impressive, but the capital city was too far away after all, and he was in Jiangyuan City now. I really don’t know how to face Xu Taiping.
"Besides, who said I didn't pay enough?" Xu Taiping said with a joking smile, "I'm paying five million dollars. What's your name, Martin? Do you know how to settle accounts?"
"U.S. dollars?!" Everyone at the scene was stunned. According to the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the RMB, one U.S. dollar is now equivalent to five RMB. In other words, five million U.S. dollars, that is 25 million RMB! This is more than double the previous twelve million!
"You are a visitor from afar, Mr. Martin. Since you are from Hollywood, I think the bidding must be done in US dollars. What's the point of using RMB?" Xu Taiping said.
"Mr. Xu, you really like to joke. You scared us all. If you offer five million US dollars, this is definitely possible!" said the person on the stage.
"Just kidding, let's liven up the atmosphere, haha!" Xu Taiping laughed and sat down. At the same time, bursts of laughter echoed throughout the venue. Some people thought Xu Taiping was too overbearing before, but now they know that Xu Taiping After bidding five million US dollars, these people felt that Xu Taiping was also a bit cute despite being domineering, which was really rare.
"Can you get five million US dollars?" Martin asked.
"You don't have to worry about whether I can take it out or not. I said I'm offering five million US dollars. Do you want to play with me? If you have the ability, you can scream higher. Don't act like a bitch. What the hell? Twelve million, I don’t hesitate to shout! I want to see today, whether you can afford it or me, who can’t afford it, who is the father!” Xu Taiping said loudly.
Martin was so teased by Xu Taiping that he almost went crazy with anger, so he didn't listen carefully to Xu Taiping's words. He gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Taiping and said, "You offered five million, do you think I'm afraid of you? I offered one Ten million dollars! I will be your father today!"
I have to say that this international director is really rich, and he opened his mouth with US$10 million.
"Okay, our international friend has offered us US$10 million. Is there any higher price?" The man in a suit and tie on the stage shouted excitedly.
"Thank you, Director Martin, for your generous donation to our country's film industry. Thank you, thank you. I won't argue!" Xu Taiping clasped his hands in fists and then sat down in his seat.
Martin and everyone in the hall were dumbfounded. Xu Taiping's words were so awesome, but he didn't want to do it anymore?
"Hahaha!" Guo Yunpeng couldn't help laughing, and then followed Xu Taiping and said, "Thank you Director Martin for your contribution to our country's film industry!"
Guo Yunpeng smiled like this, and everyone in the hall came to their senses. They thought that Xu Taiping had deliberately set a trap for Martin to make him spend more money.
Many people couldn't help laughing when they thought that this money was taken from foreigners and then used to develop the country's film industry.
In an instant, bursts of laughter filled the entire hall.
"For the third time, the transaction was completed for US$10 million! Congratulations to our international friend for shooting Mr. Zhang*'s first roll of film. We also thank our international friend for contributing to the development of our country's film industry. Thank you!! "The host held the microphone and spoke impassionedly.
Waves of applause erupted from the audience, applauding Martin’s internationalist spirit.
"Wait a minute!" Martin raised his hand and shouted suddenly.
"What's wrong, sir?" the host asked.
"I spent this ten million, and I was willing to do so, because I won. Who said just now that anyone who can't afford it should be called daddy?" Martin looked at Xu Taiping coldly and asked.
Everyone looked at Xu Taiping.
It's really refreshing that Xu Taiping played such a trick. After all, he brought 10 million US dollars to the country. However, the consequences are a bit serious. You have to call him dad. For a big brother like Xu Taiping, if he calls If he kills the foreigner's father, he will be completely disgraced. He will have no place in China, let alone in Jiangyuan City.
"I will definitely keep my word!" Xu Taiping stood up, held his head high, looked at Martin and said, "Son, you did a great job."
"You despicable villain, whose son do you call me? Do you know that you want to call me daddy? Are you trying to cheat?" Martin roared angrily.
"What, what I said before is, whoever can't afford it is the father. I can't afford it, am I not the father?" Xu Taiping said aggrievedly.
"That's not what you said at all. You said whoever can't afford it should call the other person daddy!" Martin shouted.
"That host, you should have a video of the entire process, right?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Yes." The host nodded.
"Here, let's play back the video and project it onto the big screen behind you." Xu Taiping said.
"Okay, okay!" The host nodded, and then hurried to find the technician.
Not long after, the scene of Xu Taiping and Martin choking each other appeared on the big screen.
On the big screen, Xu Taiping and Martin looked directly at each other.
"You don't have to worry about whether I can take it out or not. I said I'm offering five million US dollars. Do you want to play with me? If you have the ability, you can raise your voice. Don't act like a bitch. What the hell? Twelve million, I don’t hesitate to shout! I want to see today, whether you can afford it or me, who can’t afford it, who is the father!” Xu Taiping shouted loudly.
Xu Taiping's words were amplified and spread throughout the venue through loudspeakers.
"Play the last paragraph repeatedly," Xu Taiping said.
"Who the hell can't afford it? Who the hell is dad?"
"Who the hell can't afford it? Who the hell is dad?"
These words were played repeatedly throughout the entire venue.
"Holy shit!"
"You really said that?!" There were bursts of exclamations at the scene, and it was only at this time that people discovered that Xu Taiping had laid a trap while speaking.
"You see." Xu Taiping spread his arms and said, "Whoever can't afford it is the father. I can't afford it, so am I not the father? Come on, son, call him quickly."
"You!!!" Martin pointed at Xu Taiping. When he thought that he would have to spend 10 million US dollars to go out later, Martin felt like his world was spinning.
puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Martin's mouth, and then Martin sat down directly on the ground.
Martin's companions and people from the auction rushed over and took Martin away to the hospital.
"Remember to give enough money, ten million US dollars!" Xu Taiping did not forget to shout before Martin left.
Martin, who was close to coma, shook violently and finally passed out completely.
