Chapter 1126 Encounter (9/10)

The next day, Feng Yu took Ralph to Sotheby's auction house in New York.

After paying a deposit on behalf of Feng Yu, Ralph received an invitation to enter Sotheby's auction house with Feng Yu.

In the parking lot, Ralph leaned into Feng Yu's ear and said that he saw two familiar license plate numbers. If these two cars were not sold, then these two cars should belong to Bill respectively. ? Gates and Paul? Allen.

These two came, which surprised Feng Yu. According to Feng Yu's understanding, Bill Gates did buy a lot of artworks to decorate in his mansion, and Bill Gates also owns the most expensive books and documents in the world, Leonardo da Vinci's "Hammer's Manuscript" , in 1994, the price exceeded 30 million US dollars, shocking the world!

As for Paul Allen, it seems that he also collected some artworks, but Feng Yu reckons that, like Bill Gates, he doesn't understand art at all, it's just for decoration. Just like when you go to the offices of many local tyrants, you can always see a bookshelf full of books, but most of the books in the bookshelf are new and have not been turned over at all.

People who do not read much like to pretend to be cultural people, and those who have no artistic talent also like to pretend to be artists.

When entering Sotheby's, Feng Yu saw Bill Gates and Paul Allen, sitting next to each other in the first row, whispering, and there were two consultants sitting beside them .

Under the guidance of Ralph, Feng Yu walked to the right side of the aisle in the first row, and Paul Allen happened to be on the left.

Seeing Feng Yu, Paul Allen let out a snort from his nose, and his originally smiling expression instantly turned into a look of displeasure.

When Bill Gates saw Feng Yu, his expression was neither happy nor sad, as if he saw an ordinary acquaintance.

Feng Yu deliberately pretended that he had just seen them, and walked over enthusiastically: "Hey, isn't this Bill and Paul, what are you two doing here? Are you also like me, buying some artworks and putting them in the office to pretend? "

Originally seeing Feng Yu coming to say hello, Bill Gates squeezed out a smiling face, but after hearing Feng Yu's words, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

What does it mean to buy some artwork and put it in the office? I appreciate it! You can say that my appreciation level is not high enough, but how can you say that I am pretending? !

The corners of Paul Allen's mouth twitched even more, he didn't want to talk to Feng Yu! This soil turtle!

But Feng Yu saw that they were silent,

As if confirming that they bought it back to pretend, they pushed away the consultant next to Bill Gates, and sat there: "Bill, Paul, what do you like? Tell me, so that we won't fight among ourselves." .”

"Who is your own person." Paul Allen couldn't help but said.

If you don't sell Microsoft's stock, we can still say that we are our own people. You can sell it, but you can’t keep nothing. Microsoft's stock price has fallen since you started selling Microsoft stock!

Good guy, you made a lot of money, and you sold it at the high point of Microsoft's stock price. As for us, our net worth is constantly shrinking. All of this is not all thanks to you. Now you tell us that you belong to us ?

My friend, you didn't say hello before selling stocks? If we knew the news in advance, would we be so passive and embarrassed?

Feng Yu still smiled and said: "We are still friends, right? By the way, do you have enough cash? If not, you can tell me, I can lend it to you without interest."

The main assets of these two are still Microsoft's stock. During this period, they also cashed out a little bit, and the reason was to use it for other investments. In fact, it is seen that Microsoft's stock price will fall, and they just want to cash out and preserve their value.

Anyway, what they cashed out were all non-voting shares, which did not affect their status in the company. In fact, at this time, many people who held Microsoft stocks have cashed out some, Bill Gates has cashed out himself, and that Feng sold all of them. Now the situation in Nasdaq is not good, so they still hold the money Safer.

Although Bill Gates and Paul Allen have cashed out some of their stocks, they are not as much as Feng Yu's cashed out together, so the cash of these two is far inferior to Feng Yu's. It can be said that except for the bank, no one has more cash than Feng Yu at present, and that's not counting, Feng Yu has made some investments recently.

This time, even Bill Gates' breathing became short of breath. Bill Gates, the world's richest man, will need to borrow money from others? Feng Yu's words are so irritating!

The two stopped talking, Feng Yu returned to his seat, and Bill Gates, the art consultant, sat down again.

Paul Allen looked at Feng Yu and sneered. With Feng Yu's level of appreciation, is he ashamed to come here to buy art? He doesn't even have an art consultant, so he probably doesn't even know the history of those artworks, maybe he really just bought them back to pretend!

Ralph saw that Feng Yu deliberately went over to stimulate the two giants of Microsoft, and he knew that the art bought today might create some astonishingly high prices.

After a while, the auction started.

An auctioneer walked to the front desk, and on the big screen beside him, the first auction item was displayed, which was a manuscript of a supposedly great writer. Unfortunately, Feng Yu had never heard of this great writer.

Bill Gates began to increase the price without hesitation. He bought many artworks back, but they did not put them in his own home, but in Microsoft. He said it was to provide Microsoft employees with a good working atmosphere.

But Bill? Gates is not as great as he said. He said that after he took the "Hammer's Manuscript", he made it into a VCD disc, and then sold it at 50 cents each. Not to mention a million copies, let everyone in the world who loves this kind of artwork know that the most expensive manuscript in the world is in the hands of Bill Gates.

In Feng Yu's view, this is a marketing campaign. It is purely Bill? Gates to brush reputation. When he sold the "Hammer's Manuscripts" disc, Microsoft's stock price rose steadily. Everyone has seen the economic strength of Bill Gates and Microsoft's profitability.

And these works of art are actually a kind of investment, and it is a kind of investment that is loved by Western aristocrats. It can not only appreciate steadily, but also make others envious.

Others don't know, but Feng Yu, who has worked with Bill Gates for a period of time, knows very well that Bill Gates is a flamboyant person who never likes to keep a low profile.

After several price increases, the manuscript easily fell into the hands of Bill Gates.

However, Bill Gates and Paul Allen looked at Feng Yu curiously. At first they thought Feng Yu would raise the price, but now it seems that Feng Yu has no intention of doing so.
