"2.5 million!"
"3 million!"
3.1 million!
"3.25 million!"
"4 million!"
The bidders kept raising the price. Finally, when it reached 4 million, almost no one bid anymore, because even the most beautiful and hardest "stone" was only worth that much...
"8 million!!"
When Zhang Yuyan saw the time coming, she was preparing to bid four or five million to win the bid.
Xu Ming on the other side has already offered eight million.
Zhang Yuyan paused for a moment and looked at the two people sitting opposite her.
Xu Ming put down the sign and gave Wang Mu a somewhat ingratiating smile while pouring tea for him.
Zhang Yuyan looked at the young man next to Xu Ming and felt that he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she just couldn't remember where. She had seen too many people.
"Wait... I think I've seen this person recently, but where exactly?"
Zhang Yuyan frowned and racked her brains, but she really couldn't figure it out...
When Ouyang Caixia saw Zhang Yuyan like this, she assumed that Zhang Yuyan was hesitant to ask for a price because of the Xu family.
She couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "Yu Yan, how about we just leave this stone? It seems the Xu family on the other side also wants it, after all, the Zhang family and the Xu family have some business cooperation."
Zhang Yuyan snapped out of her reverie and smiled somewhat sheepishly, saying, "It's alright. I was just wondering who that person was. I felt like I'd seen him before, and recently at that. Let's bid on this stone once and see if the Xu family wants it. Anyway, we're not short of money. If they want it, they'll naturally raise the price. If they don't want it, we'll just take it."
Ouyang Caixia nodded in realization, picked up the bidding paddle, and called out: "9 million!"
"Nine million for the first time, is there anything higher?" The young woman below was overjoyed. She didn't know what use this stone was. Apart from being relatively hard, it was useless. She thought it would only be worth five or six million at most.
Someone actually bid nine million!
Xu Ming didn't expect the Zhang family to be interested in this item as well, but he didn't mind the price being raised a little. After all, they were all wealthy people. However, he had to bid for this stone, as Mr. Wang insisted on having it.
He had to make the shot quickly. He held up the sign.
"15 million!"
"Whoosh!"
The people downstairs were stunned and started talking about it.
They thought the big shots wouldn't be interested in this, and that they could just spend a few million to snatch it up, but they didn't expect two big shots to bid such a high price.
"15 million per time, is there anything higher?"
The young woman blushed with excitement, making her look even more radiant.
"15 million twice!"
Zhang Yuyan looked at Ouyang Caixia: "Sister Caixia, should we bid again?"
Ouyang Caixia shook her head: "Forget it, it's not worth that much money, especially since they are the three major families in G City, there's no need."
Zhang Yuyan nodded in agreement. It was indeed not worth it. The price had already far exceeded the original price. There was no need to fight for it anymore. Just consider it a favor to the Zhang family.
"15 million, three times! Sold!"
Ignoring the smug expression on the young woman's face below and the stares around him, Wang Mu took out his phone and checked the time. It was already past nine o'clock; the girl should be going to sleep soon.
Thinking to herself, she turned to look at Xu Ming and asked, "How much longer until the end?"
Xu Ming glanced at the time, turned around and poured tea for Wang Mu while replying, "After about seven or eight more items, it will take about twenty minutes."
Wang Mu nodded and then closed his eyes to rest.
His spiritual energy circulated within his body, yet he couldn't break through that barrier no matter what he tried. To achieve Foundation Establishment was impossible on Earth; without sufficient spiritual energy or elixirs, it was simply too difficult.
Even if Wang Mu were invincible on Earth and no one could threaten him, he would still be unsatisfied if he couldn't establish his foundation.
Because in that case, he couldn't save Ya Tou. Without Ya Tou, Wang Mu really didn't know what would happen to him.
Sigh, I hope that a year from now, if that legendary place is real, and there really is hope of leaving this space, then everything will be resolved!
At ten o'clock, the last item for auction finally arrived: this piece of land, put up for auction by a tycoon from Beijing. One can only imagine the immense power behind the owner of this club.
"Next up is plot number 41, which is being auctioned here. This plot is over 2,000 square meters and is located on vacant land in the suburbs next to the city center. That area will become a prime location for commercial development in the future. Please bid within your means this time."
After the young woman finished her introduction in a joking tone, she took out a property certificate and said, "Starting price: 500 million, minimum increment of 50 million!"
By this time, the people below had nothing left to do, but no one left; they all stayed to watch the excitement.
At this moment, Li Ziming, who had waited from the beginning until now without taking a single picture, stood up.
He brought 15 billion today, which is only half of Mingzheng Group's working capital. Compared to Mingde Group, it would probably only have 10 billion at most.
At most 11 billion, that's the limit. Even if we lent them some, we couldn't get it.
He had also investigated the Zhang family, and they had similar funds, perhaps even less than the Mingzheng Group. Moreover, the Zhang family patriarch had already spoken with the Li family, and the Zhang family would not interfere with the Li family this time.
It's safe to say that Li Ziming has victory in his grasp today!
Li Zicheng, in a fit of rage, ran his left hand through his greasy hair, combing it back, and stood before the railing, declaring triumphantly, "50..."
The people below looked at him expectantly, with the kind of eyes that look up to a big boss. The Li family, the head of the three major giants in G City, indeed has a powerful aura. Is this what a big boss is like?
Especially that young woman who was hosting the event.
Just as he opened his mouth, Wang Mu had already formed a hand seal, pointing two fingers at Li Zicheng, and released a burst of spiritual energy from between his fingers.
Before Li Zicheng could finish saying the last word "hundred million," he suddenly stopped. His previously spirited eyes dimmed, becoming lifeless as if he had lost his soul. Without even finishing his bid, he said to the crowd below, "Forget it, I'm giving up on this auction. I'm going home!"
After saying that, he turned and left the private room without saying goodbye to anyone, not even the girl he was keeping. He left with a blank expression, like a soulless walking corpse.
"???!"
"Huh???!"
"????????????"
"????????????????"
The people below were stunned.
The beautiful young woman was also stunned.
Zhang Yuyan and Ouyang Caixia also looked puzzled and stunned. "???"
What the heck is this?
Today is April Fool's Day.
Brother, who doesn't know that your Li family wants this land? Everyone knows that your Li family has prepared a lot of money, and tonight you've decided to use your wealth to defeat the other rival corporations.
But when you were all high and mighty, like you were some kind of super stunner and were about to bid 10 billion, you suddenly changed your mind and said you were giving up the auction and going home.
So you've been sitting here all night just to say this one sentence?
Everyone in the room was a bit confused, even President Wang didn't understand why.
However, seeing that there was no more good show to watch, Boss Wang returned with his subordinates, but he glanced at Wang Mu's direction as he left.
Wang Mu was the only one in the room who remained calm, leisurely drinking tea, and no one noticed his actions just now.
Except for Xu Ming, but he wouldn't say it, they're all on his side. Having grabbed such a powerful ally, Xu Ming could practically wake up laughing in his sleep.
