Chapter 49 - This is Stone Gambling (2/2)

Liu Zheng whispers, “When shall we make the offer?”

Lin Luoran shakes her head, “Wait just a while. I don’t want to startle her.”

Hearing that the base price is 1 million, Elly bursts out a cold laugh and offers 10 million. Elly’s offer is ten times of the base price, which immediately knocks many of the buyers out of the auction.

w.a.n.g Miao’e has born a grudge on Elly for long. She says without blinking, “20 million.”

Even this is indeed a rare huge raw stone but there is no window opened on it. This kind of crazy bidding is really uncommon.

The trader from Fujian Province refuses to let the two women compete. He joins in the fun, “I’m less ostentatious than the ladies. I offer 25 million.”

The guy from Guangzhou cranes his neck and shouts, “35 million!” He knows that w.a.n.g Miao’e and Elly dislike each other and wants to add fuel to the fire.

The Burmese man is experienced. However, he seldom sees buyers add 10 million each time they bid. These people are clearly playing psywar, and the 10 million raise is to build up pressure for their compet.i.tors. However, their compet.i.tors have learnt the same trick so no one is overpowering now. Hearing the biddings, the Burmese host can’t help showing his pleasure on the face.

“Liu Zheng, we shall make our offer if we want to win the stone. Our company will suffer a loss once the price becomes too high.”

Liu Zheng’s uncle says. He can tell that Liu Zheng and Lin Luoran both care about the bidding, however, none of them has made any offer by now which seems that they are waiting for the perfect time.

Lin Luoran feels uncomfortable to answer, and Liu Zheng explains calmly, “Uncle, do you think Liu’s can turn down the heated atmosphere now? We shall keep waiting.”

n.o.body can see Elly’s expression under the sungla.s.ses. Hearing that the bidding price keep rising by 10 million, Elly is happy instead of angry. She opens her mouth, “50 million.”

50 million yuan… It sounds like an abstract number. But one can definitely kill a man with 50 million yuan of cash.

Li Anping is aware that Elly’s family is rich, but he doesn’t imagine it to be this wealthy. It is 50 million, and Elly just spends it without blinking… Thinking about the scenes when they are together, Li Anping starts to resent that Elly actually is quite stingy to him.

While his thoughts are wandering, Li Anping is suddenly dragged aside by Elly, “Don’t you say that Lin Luoran is positive on the stone? Why hasn’t Liu’s made an offer yet? Are the two of you trying to set me up?”

Elly’s words make Li Anping break into a cold sweat. If Lin Luoran were lying, he would never be able to take the blame for the 50 million yuan. All Li Anping can do now is to show his loyalty. He coaxes Elly with sweet words like “honey” and finally dispels her doubts.

Elly snorts, “I know you don’t have the courage to do so!”

w.a.n.g Miao’e has added another 10 million. When it’s the turn for Elly to bid, the price has become 90 million yuan…

It’s almost 100 million! The weather is nice today, but Li Anping feels that his s.h.i.+rt is completely wet because of the sweat.

The price is now 90 million yuan, and Liu’s still hasn’t made a bid. Has Lin Luoran really lied to him?
