Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 99: The Offer Contest
Everyone in the entire auction venue was shocked by the sudden sound. Even if Tang Xiu regarded money as if it was dirt and did not think too much about it, however, hardly any among the people in this era recognized this Void Crack Stone. And it was unexpected that someone would be willing to bid at a high price for it.
Tang Xiu followed the source of the voice as he found the bidder guest. He was an old man wearing a black Chinese tunic suit, with full white hair, and a friendly friendly face, giving the impression of a benefactor. However, facing the gazes of everyone's eyes, he revealed a proud expression. Especially when she realized that Tang Xiu was looking at her as she tilted her chin and showed a provocative look in her eyes towards Tang Xiu.
“Very troublesome!”
Tang Xiu sighed inside as he raised his bid once again, “60 million.”
Whissh …
The entire auction venue was boiling as all eyes moved back and forth between Tang Xiu and the old man. And thus, as the saying goes that in any abnormal event, there must be some reason and cause, and some people even secretly think, in every case, is this piece of rare stone really a treasure?
However, the guess was still a guess, and still no one had entered the race. The reason is quite simple. Even if the stone was precious, they knew nothing about it. If they were to buy a worthless item, it would mean that they were truly the biggest idiots. Moreover, that the old man's skin had turned ugly and no longer called for an even greater offer!
The previously expressionless Tang Xiu looked into the distance with a smiling expression gradually revealed on his face. The old man's complexion turned unsightly as if he was a widow who had been left with her dead husband and was forced to marry an old grandfather. Tang Xiu could see that the old man's lips were writhing a few times as he wanted to speak and asked for a higher bid before he could finally control it.
“Eh, what is this?”
Tang Xiu had originally calculated that he could spend a large sum of money, but he did not expect that the old man would stop there.
Excitement surfaced in the auctioneer's eyes as he spoke with an agitated and excited expression, saying, “There's that saying that people's eyes are as bright as snow, but to Me, I want to quote modern slang, don't ‘ Don't miss a passing opportunity! If this ore was not valuable enough, then how could it be valued highly in an auction? I'm really very lucky and feel happy because I can watch people who have good taste and intelligent eyes with a strong mentality, it was as if a bright and flaming torch as it was able to recognize this treasure. ”
“That handsome guy has bid 60 million. Anyone want to bid higher? If not, this rare treasure would belong to that man. ”
“Who are you?”
The auction venue that was usually filled with cries of bidding turned silent along with the auctioneer's conclusion. Everyone's eyes wandered between Tang Xiu and the old man. Everyone was very curious, would the old man make a higher bid? Some people had even prepared to immediately take the offer as soon as the old man raised his offer again.
But, as the auctioneer said, “never miss a passing opportunity.”
If the stone was truly a rare treasure, even if they were unable to recognize it for the time being, but they could study it slowly, so the stone could be a huge shock.
However, many people were disappointed that the old man did not raise his offer again.
So many people were disappointed that the old man did not offer any more offers.
It was also quite regretful for the auctioneer. But he was still happy inside, because never once in his dreams did he think that the stone would shoot at such a high price. As an auctioneer, he would earn a percentage commission for every item sold at the auction. Since this item was auctioned for 60 million, it meant that he suddenly earned money easily.
“Then, I hereby announce that this precious ore was sold to the man. You can proceed backstage to complete the transaction now, or wait until the auction ends and then go backstage .. ”
Tang Xiu did not hesitate and immediately rushed backstage. This Void Crack Stone was the urgent material he needed right now, so he had to obtain it as quickly as possible.
Check the goods and receive them, then pay some money!
The transaction went very smoothly, as Tang Xiu quickly returned to his seat at the auction venue with the Void Crack Stone.
A smiling expression hung at the corner of Miao Wentang's mouth, although he was completely confused as to why Tang Xiu bought the stone. But because it was Tang Xiu, he did not ask, but smiled and said in a low voice, “Congratulations, Mr. Tang, for getting the treasure.”
“Thank you!”
Tang Xiu nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Let's change our words, and call me Tang Xiu directly later, and I'll call you by your name.”
“That's cool!”
Miao Wentang looked at Tang Xiu's indifferent expression as he silently smiled in his heart.
The next auctioned items went quickly. Tang Xiu greatly admired the auctioneer's speaking ability. Many of the original value of the item was not high, but it was his incessant speech, it was like a string of pearls that sparked people's interest, making them generously spend their money, he said, caused the price of those auction items to rise.
“He's talented!” These words suddenly appeared in Tang Xiu's mind.
A few hours later…
The auction will be completed soon and also enter the final.
“Item auctioned next is the second to last item. This was also an item that many people noticed, a 1000-year-old wild ginseng. It is common knowledge that along with the rapid development in technology today, our mountain forests are being severely exploited today. So, finding real wild ginseng was already a difficult thing to do, let alone 1000-year-old wild ginseng. This was as rare and difficult as finding the feathers of a phoenix and the horn of a unicorn, a rare and distant object in between. ”
“And tonight, whose possession is this precious treasure?”
“So, I hereby announce that the actual auction has begun!”
As soon as auctioneer Xiao Ai finished speaking and retreated, the auction venue boiled down with the guests competing in the bidding.
“60 million!”
“70 million!”
“75 million!”
“80 million ..”
“…”
However, the price rose to 180 million in just 2 minutes. This was the price he could afford with the funds he currently had.
“The difference is only 10 million now, and the number will probably change shortly after. Should I look for Jia Ruidao to borrow money? Jia Ruidao's stake was 250 million and coupled with its capital, it should be around 300 million. However, he also had a debt loan. So if his money was reduced by his loan, maybe he also only had a little leftover money. ”
Tang Xiu's mind raced even faster as he thought of looking for Jia Ruidao to borrow money. Borrowing money is easy, but to pay it back, it would be very difficult, right? After all, it was hundreds of millions at once. Even if the funds could be used for Kang Xia in setting up the company and all ready to run the business and make money. However, how long would it take to return the money to Jia Ruidao?
Half a minute later …
Tang Xiu decided to borrow money.
He believed in his abilities, and he did not want to miss this 1000 year old ginseng.
Tang Xiu left the chair and went to the end of the auction venue to make a phone call. Finally, he knew that Jia Ruidao had a debt loan of 220 million, and the remaining money now only reached 80 million. Tang Xiu did not hesitate to borrow those 80 million directly.
“Ding ....”
A few minutes later, his phone received an SMS that 80 million had been transferred to his bank account.
“218 million, are there any other higher bidders? If not, this 1000-year-old wild ginseng would be that man. “The auction looked excited and asked loudly.
Tang Xiu looked at the silent guests around him as he slowly raised the sign in his hand and said, “220 million.”
The auctioneer, Xiao Ai's eyes brightened as he said with a smile, “The hero is indeed from the young people. The man has offered 220 million, a truly amazing capital. Today's scene really makes me think, that great men always appear among young people. However, could it be that the old ginger was no longer hotter than the young one? By the way, shouldn't someone bid higher than this handsome guy? Otherwise, this 1000-year-old ginseng would be this handsome man! ”
“…”
An agitated expression appeared on many people's faces at the auction venue. They agree to the saying that ‘heroes come from luda’. However, listening to the old ‘jahe is no longer spicy’ triggers their anger and makes their self-esteem run amok inside.
A plump middle-aged man who was sitting in the front row near the beautiful young girl, forcefully pulled the golden necklace around her neck, along with a few million yuan of Vacheron Constantin watches when he speaks in a hoarse voice, “230 million.”
“250 million!”
A ray of cold light burst out from Tang Xiu's eyes as he shouted in a deep voice.
The fat middle-aged man pushed the beautiful young girl aside as he turned his head and looked at Tang Xiu, and then moved his middle finger towards her while exclaiming, “300 million!”
“Suara whizzing..”
Everyone inside the entire auction venue was greatly shocked by the bidding of the fat middle-aged man.
300 million?
A 1000-year-old wild ginseng was auctioned at a price as high as 300 million yuan?
Everyone started whispering to each other.
“Where did that silly fat come from? Even making 300 million to buy 1000-year-old ginseng? I can say that the food she eats becomes fat in her body and does not get into her brain, of course! The value of 1000-year-old wild ginseng was at most only valued at 150 million! More than that, he was just a wasteful fool! ”
“Stupid, even if a 1000-year-old ginseng was valuable, it wasn't worth it until one had to spend 300 million, right? He was clearly aiming to fight for the young man ferociously! ”
“Basic idiot. Too many idiots are growing up these days, especially this year. Is this fat really drunk and feverish from his property? ”
“A fool with money is indeed out there!”
“…”
Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the provocative expression on the plump middle-aged man's skin. He quietly sighed inside. He can't afford it. The highest bid he could offer was only 250 million, and he could not race anymore.
“In life, sometimes one has to wait until the end, and there is no need to go forward when something is not destined.”
This sentence appeared in Tang Xiu's mind as he finally let out an endlessly forced smile. He used to be very rich, everything he liked was his. So he was well aware of the power of money. However, right now, he had just started over again with a lack of funds.
Finally, a 1000-year-old wild ginseng was bought by the fat, middle-aged man.
“Good scenes are coming soon.”
Some faint excitement could be heard from Miao Wentang, who was sitting beside Tang Xiu.
Tang Xiu asked with a surprised expression, “Isn't 1000-year-old ginseng the most expensive item on the auction item list? Isn't that the last auction item? Is there anything else not on the list? ”
Miao Wentang whispered, “Master Tang, err ... Tang Xiu, You didn't participate in the Violet Redbud Auction before, so you don't know about his habits. For every auction event, there is always an auctioned item that is not on the list as the final finale of the game. ”
“Ah, that's how it is. I saw!”
Tang Xiu suddenly came to a realization. For this last item, he had little anticipation. Since he had not spent any money to buy a 1000 year old ginseng, perhaps the last auctioned item was the one he needed.
Suddenly, all the lights in the auction venue were lit, as a cluster of dim white light shone above the body of the auctioneer. Finally, the projector threw the image onto the wall behind the auctioneer.
