Chapter 638 - 300 Million! (1/2)
Chapter 638 300 Million!
“Hee-hee, come here.”
Qian Xiao generously stretched out his hand and waved, while doing the petty niggling in his mind.
This time, he brought a total of 300 million yuan with him. The six sixth-class swords he had bought cost 26 million yuan, leaving him still 274 million yuan. Although the continuous frenetic biddings made the price soar, as no one’s money was just stacks of papers, he believed the true wealth of all the bidders would soon be revealed. For that reason, he planned to hold back first to check out how deep the other bidders’ pockets were.
“Please allow me.”
Lu Zhiyuan turned around and held fist salute to the Gong family. Then, he swiped his bidding card.
“Beep!”
“Line 1, Number 49, bids 230 million.”
At his side, Zhan Lin slightly knitted his brows.
230 million was nearly his bottom line.
Without much thinking—
“Beep!”
Zhan Lin immediately placed a bid.
“Line 1, Number 50, bids 250 million!”
Hearing that, all the people present couldn’t help exclaiming.
“He added another 20 million in one breath?”
“Damn it, doesn’t he value his money?”
“He is surely loaded.”
At this scene, Fang Qiu giggled.
250 million!
It was enough to start two companies, wasn’t it?
He Gaoming stared at Fang Qiu with an ingratiating look and said, “Master, could you give me a teeny-tiny bite of this fortune?”
“Get lost,” said Fang Qiu with a smirk.
The auction went on.
“Beep!”
“Line 1, Number 49, bids 270 million!”
Another bidding was heard.
Lu Zhiyuan made his move.
“You guys continue. I’ll quit.”
Hearing that someone bid 270 million yuan, Zhan Lin shrugged nonchalantly as if it was not a big deal to him.
“Someone is quitting so soon?”
Qian Xiao chuckled and swiped his bidding card.
“Beep!”
“Line 1, Number 48, bids 276 million!”
This time, Qian Xiao had also staked all of his money. He was betting on this last bidding.
“Well, I quit.”
Lu Zhiyuan gave a wry smile and said, “Our Family Head asked me to deliver the message that no matter who gets the Guru Sword in the end, he hopes we can have more dealings with him in the future.”
“If it’s we Qian family, Director Lu, you can rest assured,” Qian Xiao responded with a hearty laugh.
He was confident in winning the bid.
Although the Guru Sword had never appeared in the market before, he expected the price to be around 200 million yuan tops. But to play safe, he came here with a total of 300 million yuan. Now the auction price had soared to 276 million yuan, it seemed that no one else had the ability to continue to bid.
After all, even the Four Great Families could not scrape together more than 300 million yuan within five days. They could only bring as much money as they had at hand. If they really couldn’t get it, there was nothing they could do.
Look at the Zhan family.
Being a large family with a large business, although they had many fixed assets, there was not much cash available in their hands. Therefore, in five days, they only raised 250 million. They thought it was enough, but it turned out that they were the first to be kicked out of the game.
Even with the support of the Xilian Chamber of Commerce, Lu Zhiyuan, the representative of the Xi family, only raised 270 million yuan.
“Beep!”
However, before Qian Xiao’s laughter died away, another bidding was heard.
“Line 1, Number 47, bids 288 million!”
As the auctioneer announced the bid, Qian Xiao’s face fell in an instant.
The Gong family!
The Gong family again!
Why?
Why was the Gong family willing to spend so extravagantly this time?
“I quit!”
With a sullen face, Qian Xiao opened his mouth and remarked.
At his words, the people present booed.
To their surprise, the two great families in the capital— the Zhan family and the Qian family— were eliminated in succession. Even the Xi family, which was patronized by the Xilian Chamber of Commerce, had lost the qualification to continue to compete.
By far, the party who was most likely to become the owner of the Guru Sword turned out to be the Gong family!
Among the Four Great Families, only the Diwu Qian had not yet made a move. However, judging from the performance of the other three families, the current auction price had probably reached Qilu Qian’s upper limit, if had not already surpassed it.
“Sister Qian, you can’t already be out of the game before you make one bid, can you?” Zhan Lin asked jokingly.
“Eh?”
Diwu Qian turned her head and looked at the other three families, then, said thoughtfully, “I almost forgot that you’ve been knocked out. I was wondering why there was no bid during this whole time.”
A sweet smile was plastered on Qilu Qian’s face.
She then placed her bidding card in the sensing area.
After that, she turned to look at the representative of the Gong family and said, “I’ll only bid once. This time, I’ll bet all my money on it.”
“Beep!”
“Line 1, Number 51, bids 300 million!”
The auctioneer’s announcement rang out.
All of a sudden, the whole place was dead silent!
Everyone was stunned.
She bid 300 million!
The auction price actually went to 300 million!
“Oh my god…”
All kinds of exclamations rang in the hall.
In the first row—
“You win.”
The representative of the Gong family had a bitter smile on his face.
