Chapter 411 - 189 You Can Do It, But You Dare Not - Part 2
"If it weren’t for the fear of not making any money and getting stinky with it, I’d have thought about doing livestream selling."
After saying that, Ouyang Nana had a pitiful look on her face...
This time, Gu Heng believed it...
The livestreaming influencers were indeed making a killing...
Take "Three Goats," the family-style comedic blogger who turned to livestream selling and started to rake in money hand over fist...
Within a few years, from an ordinary influencer to heading a corporate group valued at 110 billion...
Such stories are just outrageous, like outrageousness itself opening the door for more outrageousness, right at home...
Even more outrageous than getting the system himself...
But as outrageous as it was, it also sidelining revealed that livestreaming influencers truly had the earning power to outperform stars by a lot, and the era of stars making a killing seemed almost over...
However, when Gu Heng told Ouyang Nana all this, it wasn’t to discuss who made more money, stars or influencers, but rather he quickly changed the subject, "Do you really like this 5062/450R-001 a lot?"@@@@
Ouyang Nana said, "Isn’t that obvious!"
Gu Heng responded with a light smile upon hearing her words, "If you really do like it, I can help you bid for it."
Ouyang Nana was startled at his words.
Then, with an unnatural expression, she looked at Gu Heng and asked, "Are you planning to give me this watch?"
She admitted to herself that she did have a good impression of Gu Heng but only to that extent...
She also didn’t think Gu Heng could like her so much from just a day of interaction, to the extent of gifting her a watch worth hundreds of thousands, even up to a million Euros...
Having been through the wringer in the entertainment industry...
She knew very well what quid pro quo meant.
If Gu Heng was to give her this 5062/450R-001 watch, then she would definitely need to offer something else in exchange...
But what did she have?
She had nothing Gu Heng would need, and what she didn’t have, Gu Heng might not need either...
The most valuable thing she had to offer was her body...
Though Ouyang Nana wasn’t someone with many lines she wouldn’t cross, the final price of the watch was estimated to exceed 700,000 Euros, approximately 6 million RMB. If someone had offered 6 million RMB to sleep with her for a night before, she might have considered it...
But it was a pity that the man in front of her was Gu Heng...
She genuinely wanted to pursue a normal romantic relationship with Gu Heng, not some twisted transaction...
If she accepted Gu Heng’s offer, she would lose the chance to stand on equal footing with him forever...
With that thought, Ouyang Nana no longer hesitated and decided to refuse Gu Heng.
Gu Heng’s calm and indifferent voice echoed throughout the auction room.
Celia, standing at the auction podium, got excited again.
The bid of 610,000 Euros had almost reached its limit; for nearly half a minute, nobody else had placed a bid...
Celia was ready to push for another 30 seconds, and if nobody else bid, she would bring down the hammer.
But unexpectedly, Ouyang Nana, who had previously given up bidding, called out a price again, and the bidder had switched to Gu Heng next to her...
However, who the bidder was didn’t matter to Celia—what mattered was her commission had just gotten higher!
"Mr. Gu bids 650,000 Euros!"
"Is there anyone else who will continue to bid?"
This time, there was a pause of nearly a minute, and just when Celia was about to bring down the hammer, the agent called Sofia raised her paddle again.
Gu Heng had been watching this proxy bidder, and seeing her raise the paddle, he didn’t even hesitate. Before Celia could announce 655,000 Euros, he lifted his bid paddle: "700,000 Euros."
Gu Heng had no interest in playing around with increments of 5,000 like it was child’s play. If not for considering Ouyang Nana, he might have directly shouted an increase of 100,000 Euros, otherwise it would be too time-consuming...
As Gu Heng’s bid concluded, the live stream camera also moved towards him, giving him a close-up...
Bidding over 600,000 Euros was already overpaying. To add another 50,000 Euros on top of that usually meant the bidder was a powerful tycoon, worthy of this close-up in the live stream...
And inside the live stream were members of Patek Philippe from all around the world, including those from Hua Country...
Seeing Gu Heng and Ouyang Nana sitting next to him, all eyes widened drastically. Explore more at novelhall.Côm
They started interacting in the live chat...
Gu Heng, however, was unaware that the live stream camera was already focused on him. He whispered to Ouyang Nana, "700,000 Euros is the maximum bid, which should be enough to win.
But I’m not sure if someone will continue to bid.
Deciding whether or not to continue following will be up to you, since it’s your money being spent after all."
Ouyang Nana nodded seriously.
Even if Gu Heng hadn’t mentioned it, she would have brought this up to him...
After all, she wasn’t the kind of tycoon who could spend 100,000 Euros on a meal like Gu Heng. If the price was too high, even if she really liked the watch, she couldn’t continue the competition—her financial strength wouldn’t allow it...
While Celia was passionately encouraging others to continue bidding on the auction stage, Ouyang Nana seized the moment to whisper to Gu Heng, "Gu Heng, this watch isn’t cheap, and it’s even a ladies’ wristwatch.
Aren’t you afraid I might backtrack once I’m back in the country and then either let the watch rot in your hands or take the opportunity to negotiate the price down?"
Hearing this, Gu Heng turned around and looked at Ouyang Nana with a playful expression on his face.
"You could do that, but you wouldn’t dare."
Ouyang Nana:...
