667 Chapter 667: Fierce Competition (22)
This time, it was really difficult for the housekeeper. The Princess’housekeeper could only bite the bullet and say, “Your Highness, His Majesty the King did indeed ask me to follow you here to pay your bill. But… I really have no way to make the decision for such a large sum of money! Even if His Majesty the King is here, he wouldn’t be able to take the initiative to use so much money. It would have to be discussed through the Parliament!”
The Butler replied respectfully. In any case, he definitely wouldn’t be able to pay the princess this amount of money.
Even if he wanted to pay, he wouldn’t be able to take out so much money. This was the reality.
That’s right. Even if the king wanted to use so much money, he would need to convene the parliament. Only after the parliament passed would the money be approved.
One had to know that the royal family’s money wasn’t something that could be moved by just anyone. After all, the royal family’s money was not their own money. There was also the parliament that monitored the royal family’s every move. It was impossible for the royal family to do whatever they wanted.
Gu Qingchen knew that the princess was in a difficult situation, so she simply did not let Qingniao continue to bid.
Didn’t the princess think that she was the richest person in the world? That was fine. Then she would sell the jade to her. Of course, that was only possible if the princess could afford it.
Just as Gu Qingchen had expected, the princess couldn’t afford it at all. A small amount of money was a piece of cake for the princess, but when it came to money, even if the princess was exhausted to death, she wouldn’t be able to afford it.
Of course, Gu Qingchen had another meaning.
In this industry, once an auction was held, the price would be called and the transaction would be completed. However, the auctioneer could not come up with any money. Hehe, this was interesting.
Even the law would force the auctioneer to pay. If the auctioneer really could not pay, then the jade would still belong to the auctioneer, and the auctioneer.., would have to compensate the auctioneer.
Generally speaking, the amount of compensation was 10% of the final price.
If it was 2 billion, 10% would be 200 million.
In other words, if the princess couldn’t take out the money today, not only would she not be able to take away the jade, but she would also have to compensate gu qingchen 200 million euros out of thin air.
“I… I don’t have that much money now! But, I will definitely take this jade.”
The princess was still trying to be brave. After the butler’s reminder, she became a little more clear-headed. Knowing the current situation, she definitely did not have that much money.
But, she could fight for it. Her father loved her the most and loved her the most. If she wanted the jade, her father would definitely think of a way to get the parliament to agree to take out so much money.
But… she needed time.
Gu Qingchen laughed when she heard that. “Your Highness, this is a formal auction and I don’t owe you anything. So… you need to give me the two billion without a single cent missing.”
“I told you, I don’t have that much money now!”
Although the princess’face was a little dark, she still refused to let go. She looked very confident and didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
Gu Qingchen nodded with a smile and then said, “In other words… The Princess bought this auction item but didn’t have any money. Am I right?”
Gu Qingchen made it clear that the princess’s face was even darker, “I didn’t say that I wouldn’t give it to you. I just said that I don’t have it now!”
Everyone heard the princess’s words and pointed at the princess.
“No Money? What’s the point of meddling if you don’t have money! You really have nothing better to do, Don’t you?”
“Isn’t this a joke? What kind of place does she think we are? A place for her to play house?”
“This is really an eye-opener. So this princess is actually so shameless. isn’t she trying to snatch it openly? Hehe! She’s really bringing shame to their country!”
“Then what’s the situation now? who exactly does this jade belong to? What should we do with this jade?”
Many people were a little confused. For a moment, they didn’t know how to continue the auction.
This annoying princess was obviously not going to leave. She was going to continue to stay here and cause trouble.
Wasn’t this causing trouble?
Gu Qingchen glanced at the princess and said, “In other words… Her Highness didn’t have so much money, but she participated in the auction. Moreover, it’s a deal, right?”
The princess raised her head slightly, “That’s right, what can you do to me?”
It was the first time Gu Qingchen had seen someone speak so confidently. Hehe, was this princess spoiled or was her brain lacking?
Gu qingchen nodded and continued, “In that case, let’s follow our rules. Warren, according to the rules, how should we deal with this situation?”
Gu Qingchen turned to look at Warren. Warren paused for a moment, glanced at the princess, and then said respectfully, “If someone wins the auction but doesn’t have the money to pay, then the auctioneer must be compensated according to 10% of the transaction price. Moreover, the auction item is still owned by the auctioneer, and can be auctioned again!”
Warren didn’t hesitate a bit because of the princess’noble status, nor because she was working for the royal family. Instead, he spoke according to the rules.
His voice was so loud that everyone heard it. The princess and her butler naturally heard it too.
The princess was stunned when she heard it. She looked at Gu Qingchen and asked, “What do you mean by this?”
Gu Qingchen smiled slightly and narrowed her eyes, “It’s just according to the rules. I Hope Your Highness doesn’t mind. “Since you don’t have the money to pay for the auction, then according to the rules, you have to compensate me with 200 million euros.”. “Two billion euros, the princess can’t afford it.”. “Don’t Tell Me Your Highness can’t even afford 200 million?”
Being mocked by Gu Qingchen, the princess immediately said, “Who says I can’t afford 200 million!”
Gu Qingchen’s eyes flashed, and the smile on her lips remained, “Oh? Your Highness can take out 200 million? That’s great, it seems that this matter can be resolved peacefully. Ding Hao, go to Her Highness and collect 200 million.”
The princess was instantly stunned, only then did she realize what she had just said.
Seeing Gu Qingchen’s cunning look, the princess finally understood that this Gu Qingchen was obviously scheming against her!
This Gu Qingchen was doing it on purpose!
“You… you did it on purpose!”
Gu Qingchen raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, “What Did Your Highness Say?”
The princess looked at Gu Qingchen’s calm and unhurried look and gritted her teeth.
“I said you did it on purpose! You know that I can’t afford so much money, so you deliberately lured me into taking the bait! Once I can’t afford it, not only can you keep the jade yourself, but you can also take a huge sum of money from me!”
Gu Qingchen smiled. It seemed that this princess’s brain was quite useful, and there was no lack of strings.
