440 900 Million USD! (2/2)

After the auction ended, Yang Ting came instantly to mock Mo Wen. She had been waiting for this moment. ”Mo Wen, the Hope Diamond was successfully bid upon by someone else. Did you not swear that you would give the Hope Diamond to Shen Jing? What are you going to give her now?”

Before this, she had enough reason to believe that it was impossible for Mo Wen to have the ability to successfully bid for the Hope Diamond. As expected, from the very beginning up until the end, this fellow had not uttered a word. It was obvious that he had completely given up on bidding.

However, Jiang Siyin, who had always been in cahoots with Yang Ting, was not mocking Mo Wen now. Instead, he had descended into silence.

Shen Jing was also silent. Her hands were twisted tightly together, seemingly as though she was unspeakably nervous.

It was because just now she had seen that, at the last minute of the auction, Mo Wen had inputted a string of numbers into the bidding machine. Then, the central display had shown the price of 900 million US dollars, and then completely stopped moving.

Jiang Siyin, who was sitting to the side of Mo Wen, also saw Mo Wen make his bid. Right now, he felt that he was even having trouble breathing. Mo Wen had actually made a bid. An astonishing one.

Yang Ting sat beside Shen Jing and was a seat away from Mo Wen, so she had not seen him make his bid.

Shen Jing stared at Mo Wen. This fellow had actually successfully bid for the Hope Diamond. Right now, she was not feeling happy that he had managed to bid for the Hope Diamond. Instead, a sense of worry welled up inside. Could Mo Wen manage to pay so much money?

900 million US dollars! It was close to six billion Renminbi. It was so much money that even if she sold everything she owned and completely sold off Pu Yuan Pharmaceuticals, she would most likely not have enough. Pu Yuan Pharmaceuticals at most could only be sold for three billion, and the money that would be divided and end up in her hands would most likely be around 500 million. Even if she included Lin Qing's share, it would most likely only amount to 1.5 to 1.6 billion.

Six billion!

Shen Jing felt a deep sensation of helplessness welling up inside her. In the entire country, aside from state-owned enterprises, there were surely not many businesses that could find such funds at a moment's notice. Also, it would be impossible for them to do so in order to purchase a diamond.

Only the hidden consortiums that lurked within the country had such financial power and such daring and resolve.

”Mo Wen, I can't believe that you can fork out that much money!” Jiang Siyin said with a somewhat twisted expression on his face. Before this, he had already accepted that Mo Wen had some status, but he did not believe at all that Mo Wen's capabilities would be so vast. It was so vast that he did not dare to imagine it.

In the world, aside from those tycoons and the giants that controlled enormous consortiums, who else had the ability to spend a few billion to simply buy a diamond?

If Mo Wen could do it, then exactly how terrifying was the wealth that he held?

Andrea stared at Mo Wen curiously. Even he needed to convene a family meeting before he would be able to decide to spend 900 million US dollars on a non-commercial investment. If his goal was to purchase a rare diamond, the probability of his suggestion being approved was slim. After all, he was a businessman, not a collector.

By now, Yang Ting had realized that the atmosphere was slightly odd too. She stared at Mo Wen incredulously with her eyes wide open. She stared at Jiang Siyin again. In the end, she drew in a breath. Could it be that Mo Wen was the one who offered the shocking bid of 900 million USD?

Soon, she discovered the answer.

A few members of the auction staff walked over. Their target was none other than Mo Wen. ”Sir, congratulations on winning the bid for the Hope Diamond, the most honorable item tonight.”

A beautiful woman in a cheongsam walked over. She was the auctioneer and had come to personally greet Mo Wen.

”Where is the Hope Diamond?” Mo Wen glanced at the few people. He noticed that they hadn't brought the Hope Diamond along.

Upon hearing his words, the beautiful auctioneer was stunned. However, she came to her senses quickly, saying with a smile, ”Sir, are you planning to complete the transaction immediately?”

The rule of the auction was the item was delivered upon receiving payment. They would only deliver the auction item when the bidder had cleared the payment. After all, every item auctioned was very valuable. It would be troublesome for the organizer if they encountered people who didn't keep their word.

This was a transaction that involved 900 million US dollars. The beautiful auctioneer had never thought that Mo Wen could complete the transaction immediately because it was such a huge amount of money. The Settlement would involve a complicated process.

”If we don't do it now, when will we do it?” Mo Wen asked incredulously. He had already bid for the item. Why wouldn't they trade now? Could it be that the auctioneer regretted the sale and wanted to deny the transaction?Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Urm…” The beautiful auctioneer was speechless as she stared at Mo Wen. Only after a while, did she say with an embarrassed smile, ”Apologies, sir, perhaps I haven't understood you correctly. May I clarify, when you said 'we do it now', do you mean you plan to pay immediately?”

It was such an enormous amount of money. The probability of one settling with immediate payment was too low. There were not many people in the world who had this ability.
