Chapter 85 Auction – Part 3 (1/2)
Chapter 85 – Auction – Part 3
”20,000 GOLD!”
”40,000!”
”70,000!”
Shouts came from everywhere within the auction theater. The bid went from 20,000 to 100,000 within a few seconds.
Then.
”200,000 From the Yuan family!”
A voice came from the VIP section. Feng Ji was the one who shouted the bid which made everyone stopped what they were doing and turned around to gaze at him in admiration and awe.
”Shit! It's the Yuan Family.”
”I don't think I want to offend them. I'll stop here.”
”Me, too. I don't have enough gold anyway.”
The bidding also paused as there was no bidding after Feng Ji declared that he was from the Yuan family.
Tong glared at Feng Ji in discontentment. He was expecting the recipe to be auctioned around 400,000 gold or more. But because of Feng Ji and Yuan Shao's reputation, no one dared to bid further.
However, as a host, Tong could not voice out his thought. He had to continue the auction and prayed that someone came and bid for a higher price.
”200,000 going once!”
”250,000 gold!”
A voice came from another VIP section. It was the five fat merchants that had made a large deal with Tong. They were the prominent 5 merchants that were well-known in this city.
”Those guys want to compete with the Yuan!?”
”Are they seeking death? Yuan Shao will kill them if he finds out.”
”Wow, they got the balls of iron!”
Gossips and whispers buzzed within the crowd. They glanced at both VIP sections and enjoyed the drama as the auction of this item was out of their reach.
”260,000” Feng Ji continued to bid.
”300,000!!”
Feng Ji gritted his teeth. The budget they had was only 350,000 gold at the moment. He did not want to spend all of it because of a recipe, which could be easily stolen by any random workers within Tong's factory. By thinking this far, Feng Ji decided to stop.
However, because of his wicked and unyielding personality, he wanted to prank these 5 fatties a bit.
”310,000 gold.” Feng Ji bid.
”330,000 gold!”
”350,000 gold!!” Feng Ji bid again.
”400,000 GOLD!!”
On the other side of the auction, the five merchants sweated bullets as they had just bid everything they had. The 400,000 gold was all of their combined cash that they pooled together for this item. If someone were to bid higher, they would not be able to bid anymore.
Feng Ji observed the five men and laughed in his heart. He could guess that they had reached their limit, so he would not bid anymore and let these fools to take the recipe.
On the stage, Tong breathed out a relieved sigh. He appreciated the competition of Feng Ji and the five merchants. Because of that, he got the price he had initially estimated. If it went further, he would consider it a bonus.
”400,000 gold, going once!”
”400,000 gold going twice!”
”Four-”
Before Tong could finish his warning closure, another voice came from the audience.
”500,000 gold! I'll make my family great again!”
A familiar catchphrase came from the chubby man. It was Te Langpu who had shouted the bid.
'Dafuq was that? Why do I feel like I have heard that phrase before somewhere?'
Tong tilted his head and wondered. He definitely heard that slogan somewhere before but he could not remember it clearly. Because of the vague memory and unclear image, Tong ignored it and continued with the auction. After this thing was done, he would try to recall it.
”500,000 gold going once!”
