Chapter 533 - 505: Twenty Million
The young man asked, "Is that flame-red Audi R8 I had my eye on still being held for me?"
The waiter flashed an extremely seductive smile and said delicately, "Mr. Zhang, it's being held for you. That flame-red Audi R8 you're interested in, how could I dare to sell it to someone else? Right this way, please."
The waiter gestured toward Section B.
"You know what's up," Mr. Zhang said cheerfully, casually handing the female waiter a stack of red bills.
Flame-red.
Lin Tian overheard these crucial three words from the female waiter's mouth.
He distinctly remembered that when he wanted a flame-red car, the waiter said they didn't have one, but now that Mr. Zhang had arrived, she immediately said they had reserved a flame-red car for him.
Why sell it to him and not to me, Lin Tian thought to himself, seething with anger, fists clenched.
He Qianqian, worried Lin Tian would cause trouble, quickly persuaded him, "Lin Tian, let's just buy any car and be done with it, I don't want the flame-red one anymore, don't get into a fight with these people."
Lin Tian covered He Qianqian's face and said, "You like the flame-red car, and if they don't have one here today, I'll still buy you one someday, but since they do have it, I must buy it for you right now."
He Qianqian couldn't stop Lin Tian, and he yelled, "Stop right there."
When he uttered these two words, they were laced with anger, and within that anger was also a hint of murderous intent, which frightened the female waiter.
The waiter, Mr. Zhang, and the enchanting woman beside him all turned around. Mr. Zhang and the enchanting woman were unfazed, but it gave the female waiter a start.
Moments before, when the female waiter was observing Lin Tian, he seemed like an utterly ordinary student, nothing out of the ordinary.
But now, as Lin Tian raged, the waiter felt oppressed, as if she were facing an enraged tiger, and Lin Tian's gaze sent chills down her spine. She no longer dared to underestimate him. With her ability to read people, she could now assert that Lin Tian was certainly no ordinary student; no student, however strong, could exude the kind of killing intent that even she feared.
Gathering her courage, the waiter went up to Lin Tian and continued with a professional smile, "Sir, may I help you with something?"
"You just told me there was no flame-red car available, but now, you're telling him that you've kept an Audi R8 aside. What does this mean? Why won't you sell it to me?" Lin Tian challenged, pointing at Mr. Zhang.
The waiter explained, "That Audi R8 was reserved by Mr. Zhang a month in advance, this...!"
"Reserved?" Lin Tian questioned. "What does reserved mean? Did he give you a deposit or something?"
"This...!" The waiter didn't answer, clearly indicating no deposit had been paid; she was at a loss for how to handle the situation and turned her gaze toward Mr. Zhang, hoping he would extricate her from the predicament.
Mr. Zhang, a wealthy young master well-versed in the world, glanced at Lin Tian and was certain of two things.
First, Lin Tian was ruthlessly determined, certainly not just any ordinary student.
Second, Lin Tian had no money, as his clothing wasn't worth much.
He was usually accurate in his assessments, although there are always exceptions. In judging Lin Tian, he was only half right, but it wasn't really his fault. Who would have thought that someone with a net worth in the billions would go out dressed in clothes worth less than two hundred yuan?
Since he had guessed that Lin Tian had no money, he felt there was no need to fear him.
Mr. Zhang arrogantly said, "Kid, do you even know how much that flame-red Audi R8 I want costs? You think you can afford it?"
"How much is it? I can't afford it?" Lin Tian asked.
"Six million," the waiter responded.
"Humph, six million, can you afford it?" Young Master Zhang mocked, before taking out a bank card and saying, "Just swipe six million, I want to pick up the car."
"Yes, Young Master Zhang," the waiter said cheerfully, nodding and hurriedly taking the card, ready to swipe it.
They got a commission for every car they sold, and for a six-million-yuan car, they would get at least sixty thousand in commission, which was considered a sizable accomplishment.
"Hold on," Lin Tian called out to the waiter, also pulling out a card, "Swipe seven million, I'm buying this car."
Young Master Zhang's mouth twitched and the waiter stood there, looking a bit clueless. She obviously wanted to swipe Lin Tian's seven million, but looking at Lin Tian, he didn't seem like someone who could easily shell out seven million. If she took Lin Tian's card and it didn't have the money, and she offended Young Master Zhang as a result, not only would she lose her commission, but she might even lose her job.
Who dared to compete with him for a car, to outbid him? Moreover, Young Master Zhang had brought along a beautiful woman, whom he had just picked up. He had already boasted about his accomplishments and absolutely could not lose face in front of the beauty.
Gritting his teeth, Young Master Zhang said, "Swipe eight million."
"Young Master Zhang is so generous, just so rich, I like it," the glamorous woman beside him praised, extremely smug, and even kissed Zhang on the face.
Young Master Zhang kissed her back, and the two of them looked quite sweet together.
"So disgusting," He Qianqian muttered softly to herself. In front of everyone, she didn't dare to show off her affection.
"Ten million," Lin Tian said without even blinking, immediately adding another two million.
The smile on Young Master Zhang's face instantly froze. He had thought eight million was already beyond Lin Tian's reach, yet Lin Tian was so ruthless to raise it by two million in one go.
Thinking about the card he owned, which had just twelve million, if he were to outbid Lin Tian by another million, that would be eleven million. Spending eleven million on a six-million-yuan car was too much for his heart to bear.
Young Master Zhang wanted to give up, but he couldn't withstand the encouragement from the enchanting woman beside him. "Young Master Zhang, bid higher. You're so rich, look at him, he's all dressed in street-bought goods, you can't lose to him, raise the bid, crush him."
He absolutely couldn't lose in front of his woman, so Young Master Zhang clenched his teeth and shouted, "Raise the bid, eleven million."
Young Master Zhang thought, 'Now that I've added another million, let's see what you can do?'
Lin Tian spoke up again, "Twenty million."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked, including He Qianqian. An increase of nine million right off the bat, he really didn't take money seriously.
Spending twenty million on a six million car, only a tycoon among tycoons, a supreme tycoon, could do something like this.
The waiter was about to laugh out of sheer delight. A six-million-yuan car was being bid up to twenty million, and now she would get at least four hundred thousand in commission.
Four hundred thousand, that could buy half a house.
With a trembling voice, the waiter asked, "Young Master Zhang, are you going to raise the bid any further? If not, then the fiery red Audi R8 will go to this gentleman."
"Raise the bid, of course. To win, you have to win with momentum," the enchanting woman beside him incited.
Young Master Zhang now wished he could slap her to death. Raise the bid? As if it was as simple as just saying it!
That's twenty million, if he really raised the bid to twenty-one million, he would be bankrupt even after selling his shorts.
What do you think?
