Although the price of 4 million pounds is very high, there are still many rich people coming today, and the price soon went to 5 million pounds.

"Honey, are you not interested in this painting?" Ivanka asked Lin Hao.

Lin Hao really has no interest in this painting. How can Western oil paintings compare with Chinese landscape paintings? If there are Western oil paintings that he is really interested in, they are all in museums and they are not sold. There is one painting that Lin Hao accidentally saw in his previous life. He forgot the name. It was probably Sleeping Beauty or something like that. It seemed to be a nude painting, but he just couldn't remember it.

"If you like it, I will buy it for you." Lin Hao looked at Ivanka and said.

Ivanka didn't expect Lin Hao to ask this. She was just curious. After all, this painting is very famous. Everyone rushed to auction it, but Lin Hao didn't react at all.

"I'm just asking. It's too expensive." When Ivanka said this, the price had already exceeded 5 million pounds.

"The price is not expensive. Monet's Water Lilies is still very collectible. The price will become more and more expensive in the future. It seems that our home in Los Angeles is still lacking some artworks to decorate it. This painting is good."

After saying that, Lin Hao raised his hand.

"Mr. Lin Hao bid 5.1 million pounds, the first time."

"Mr. Abu bid 5.2 million pounds."

"Sir Richard Branson bid 5.5 million pounds."

.....

As the price got higher and higher, fewer and fewer people bid. In the end, only Lin Hao and Abu were still competing.

"7 million pounds."

As Abu shouted out the high price of 7 million pounds, many people took a breath. This price was already very high, but it was still much lower than the price of "Water Lilies" sold at some auction houses.

But this is a charity auction after all. It is already a sky-high price now. It is rare to see such a high price at a charity auction.

"8 million pounds." Seeing that Abu offered 7 million pounds, Lin Hao offered 8 million pounds without hesitation.

Abu looked at Lin Hao a little angrily, wondering why he always went against him, and then shouted out a price of 9 million pounds.

"Mr. Abu bid 9 million pounds, will Mr. Lin Hao follow?" the host shouted loudly.

"10 million pounds."

Lin Hao shouted out 10 million pounds, and the whole venue was silent. No one expected that such a high price would be offered in the end.

"Mr. Lin Hao bid 10 million pounds, will Mr. Abu bid?" the host asked Abu.

The people in the venue looked at Abu. 10 million pounds was really a sky-high price. This painting of Monet's "Water Lilies" was a painting that had never appeared before, and no one knew its true value. They were all watching whether Abu would follow.

Abramovich was in a dilemma. Although 10 million pounds was not much for him, he had just spent 130 million pounds to buy Chelsea, and spent more than 200 million pounds to pay off the team's debts and buy stars. He also invested in many industries in the UK. Now it was not worth spending 10 million pounds for a painting.

Seeing that Abramovich was still silent, the host struck the first hammer.

"10 million pounds for the first time."

"10 million pounds for the second time."

Seeing that Abramovich was still silent, the host decisively struck the third time.

"10 million pounds for the third time, congratulations to Mr. Lin Hao for winning this Monet's "Water Lilies""

As the host's voice fell, warm applause rang out at the scene. Prince William next to him congratulated Lin Hao immediately. He did not expect that the painting would be sold at a sky-high price of 10 million pounds tonight. Before, he thought that it would be good to get 6 million pounds for this painting. After all, it was a charity auction, and everyone stopped at a certain point. Unexpectedly, Abu and Lin Hao got angry and directly made 10 million pounds.

The people around him congratulated Lin Hao one by one, and Lin Hao smiled and thanked them one by one.

The auction continued afterwards, but the subsequent auctions never sold at such a high price again.

.....

When the charity party ended and Lin Hao, Prince William, and Beckham said goodbye one by one, Abu came over.

"Congratulations, Mr. Lin, for winning Monet's "Water Lilies." Abu said with a fake smile

"Thank you." Lin Hao said with a smile.

Lin Hao felt good about Abu. He didn't mean to target him in the auction. He really had no interest in it at first, but after hearing Ivanka's suggestion, he thought it would be a good idea to buy it as a decoration. Besides, there were many people bidding at that time.

"I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing to bet with me?" Abu looked at Lin Hao and asked.

After hearing Abu's words, William, Harry, Beckham and others cameThey were not interested, and they didn't know what Abramovich wanted to do. In the auction just now, they all felt Abramovich's unwillingness.

"I don't know how Mr. Abramovich wants to bet, and what he wants to bet on?" Lin Hao asked with interest.

"Let's bet on the outcome of the game between Manchester United and Chelsea in a week. If Chelsea wins, Mr. Lin Hao will give me the "Water Lilies". If Manchester United wins, I will give Mr. Lin Hao 10 million pounds. I wonder if Mr. Lin Hao dares to bet?"

In the auction just now, he hesitated for a moment, and the host actually knocked the hammer directly. Afterwards, he became more and more angry, and simply ran to find Lin Hao.

"This is interesting. I agree. Your Highnesses will help to be witnesses." Lin Hao agreed directly.

William and Harry didn't expect Abramovich to play so big, and Lin Hao also agreed directly.

"Why don't you two consider it again, and play something else?" William said. After all, he hosted the dinner tonight, and it would not be good for the two to have a conflict.

"No, just bet on this." Abu refused.

"I've already promised, I won't take it back, the two princes should help to be witnesses." Lin Hao said.

"Okay, we will all be there for the game in a week." Prince William had to say when he saw the two were so determined.

"Then let's see whose team is stronger in a week." Abu left after saying that.

After Lin Hao took his own items, he also left with Ivanka.

.....

On the way back, Ivanka looked at Lin Hao, who was playing with the "Qianlong Imperial Treasure" green jade dragon jade seal, and Monet's "Water Lilies" was put into the trunk after just a glance, and the oracle bone fragments were touched twice.

"What is the origin of this jade seal?" Ivanka couldn't help asking. You know, "Water Lilies" is very well-known throughout the West. The highest price for one was 22.5 million US dollars at an auction in 2001. But now that Lin Hao spent 10 million to buy a "Water Lilies" that has never appeared before, he took a look at it and no longer paid attention to it. Instead, he looked at this jade seal that he had never heard of with a little obsession.
