444 Nice Guy (1/2)
A lot of them had a helpless expression on their faces. 'These rich people are nuts. They won't even care about the feelings of small companies like us, getting eliminated by them right from the start!'
They had their mouths agape, but no words came forth.
They wanted to fight for it too, but without money, they were unable to fight!
”Hehe, our Tang National Pharmaceutics will play along too,” one of the old men finally broke his silence. ”We'll offer 30 thousand!”
With that, the price went up by another five thousand!
”Old Man Tang, your Tang National Pharmaceutics had never initiated any development of new medicine. Why are you taking part this time?” asked a respectable-looking middle-aged man. Following that, he raised his sign and announced., ”United Heaven Pharmaceutics offers 31 thousand.”
”Hahaha, apart from making western medicine, this giant python can be sun-dried and used directly as Chinese medicine! Why can't I buy it?” Old Man Tang laughed. ”You're such a cheapskate bidding like that. 35 thousand!”
”We're not as well off as your Tang National Pharmaceutics.” The middle-aged man adjusted his glasses but stopped competing.
”38 thousand!” The bidder this time was still from Huihong Pharmaceutics.
Old Man Tang frowned lightly. ”40 thousand!”
It was obvious that the price had reached an exorbitant amount. Even the large scale pharmaceutical companies were hesitating, unsure if they should continue bidding.
[F*ck! 40 thousand for 500 grams! Are these pharmaceutical companies crazy?]
[Previous post, don't you know how much profit they pharmaceutical companies make? It may be calculated in units of 500 grams now, but when they turn it into medicine, then it's counted in grams!]
[40 thousand for 500 grams. That giant python should be at least one full tonne right? That's going to be 40 million!]
[What's 40 million? Didn't you see how God Ye was unfazed when faced with 200 million?]
…
Huihong Pharmaceutics was fine with the results as they had obtained the gallbladder. At least they would not return empty-handed. Other pharmaceutical companies were however unable to sit still any longer.
”God Ye, with so many corporations here, you can't just let us go back empty-handed.”
”That's right, God Ye. Please give us small businesses a chance. I'm begging you.”
”God Ye, we came here with full sincerity. Can you not sell the giant python as a whole unit?”
The representatives of all those companies looked at Ye Lingchen with their puppy eyes.
They were really out of options. With the larger companies around, they could not get anything.
”Everyone, I'm not sure if you're willing to listen to my humble suggestion.” Right then, Dong Miaomiao had finally spoken up.
Her eyes glimmered as her words calmed everyone down.
50 thousand for 500 grams. It may appear more expensive than 50 thousand per 500 gram, but in actuality, it was not the same.
First of all, at 50 thousand per 500 grams, it did not require them to purchase the entire giant python. If one only purchased 500 grams worth, then it would only cost 50 thousand. That sum was nothing for these companies. In fact, they were not worried about the high unit price, but rather the difficulty of taking out tens of millions at one go.
Secondly, the auction had not ended. Nobody could guarantee the final price not to go over 50 thousand!
Moreover, 50 thousand per 500 grams would not offend Ye Lingchen as the price was considered quite high.
One must admit that Dong Miaomiao had thought of everything perfectly. She did not make the suggestion at the beginning of the auction. That way she would only seem to be a busybody. Nevertheless, now that she brought it up when the auction was in a standstill, it achieved optimal effects.
Most importantly, she would never have gotten anything with the original auction. However, with her suggestion, her company would naturally be able to obtain a portion of the giant python meat.
