Chapter 3853
Bernard looked at the serious expression on Zachary's face, and at a certain moment, he was almost about to be successfully brainwashed by Zachary.
He looked back and forth at Zachary and then at the painting of the Mona Lisa in Charlie's hands several times, and he felt a s if his brain was in a trance for a few moments.
Charlie also knew that Zachary was talking nonsense, but he really did not expect that Zachary would be able to come up with such an elaborate set of stories, and he could not help but feel some admiration for this lad from the bottom of his heart.
Not to mention anything else, but his skills at talking nonsense could definitely be
considered first-class.
Nevertheless, Bernard quickly came back to his senses. He knew that Zachary must be randomly making this story up.
First of all, not to mention whether this story could possibly be true or not, but even if this story was true, this group of people couldn't possibly be in possession of this painting themselves.
It could also be clearly seen from the plastic imitation bronze plastic bottle just now that these two men in front of him only wanted to swindle him out of his money, and they would never allow him to gain any advantage.
So, Bernard clasped one of his hands over the other in front of Zachary and said with a pained expression, "Sir, I really admire your eloquence, but I will not say anything else about it."
After saying that, he looked at Charlie again and spoke up, "Sir, please quote a price for this painting..."
Charlie nodded and said seriously, "The allegedly plagiarized painting of the Mona Lisa is now hanging in the Louvre collection in France. Although it can't be put up for auction, I estimate that if it were to be put up for sale, it could be sold for at least one billion dollars."
When Bernard heard this, he was completely stunned.
He cursed in his heart, 'If you dare to ask for such a high price for this broken piece of crap, I would rather not participate in the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill. I will never accept such a matching quota from you!'
Immediately afterward, Bernard saw Charlie smiling as the latter said, "I'll let you fill up the gap for this painting in my hand, Mr. Arnault. I'll let you take this painting, the Oskia Imperial Jade Seal, and the bronze wine bottle as a whole package for two billion dollars!"
When Bernard heard this, he was completely stunned and dumbfounded.
Two billion dollars?!
He could not understand what kind of person could be so blackhearted that he would even outrageously ask for two billion dollars for these three pieces of junk!NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
So, he blurted out immediately, "Two billion dollars is a bit too much! Isn't tens of millions of dollars or even one hundred million dollars enough to make up for the loss of the one million dollars for the matching of goods?! Even if I am asked to match goods worth one hundred million dollars, it would already be one
hundred times more!”
As he spoke, he clenched his teeth and said, "If you guys are really so shameless, then I really would rather give up on my participation in this auction than accept your excessive demand!"
"It doesn't matter." Charlie said indifferently, "There are plenty of rich people participating in the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill. It does not matter if there is one more of you or one less of you. This is just like those bags in your shop. There are plenty of rich people who would be willing to match goods to buy those bags, and you would not care even if those who are not willing to spend money to match goods decide to leave."
After saying that, Charlie then added, "Mr. Arnault, there is something I have to remind you of. If you refuse to match the goods this time and withdraw from the auction, you will be banned for life from future auctions. So, you'd better think it over."
Bernard was instantly frightened after hearing this, and he said, "Sir, there is no need for you to ask for two billion dollars even if you want to match goods, right? Can't it be a little lesser?"
Charlie looked at him and said
coldly," Sorry, Mr. Arnault, but there
is no room for you to bargain here. You have so many luxury stores all over the world, and I don't know how much wealth you have collected annually through the matching of goods. One hundred billion dollars could be said to be too little. You're not happy now that I'm asking you to take out one billion dollars? In that case, I think you don't need to
participate in this auction. Keep your money and go back to France!"
Although Bernard felt very angry deep inside at this moment, he had already conceded.
