Chapter 145: During the Auction! (1)

When Xie Guangyun raised the bid to thirty million, everyone sank into silence. As far as everyone was concerned, there were ten cooperative rights up for bidding here. There was no need to keep fighting over the first one.

“Thirty million going once—thirty million going twice—Sold!”

Yun Jingshuang declared and slammed his hammer down. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. This price was still acceptable.

“Ladies and gentlemen, you probably still don’t really understand the benefits of this cooperative right. Let me elaborate.”

Bai Xiaofei couldn’t keep calm anymore after seeing the first right only sold for thirty million. Although he had expected these people to deliberately control the price, he didn't think they would do it to this extent.

“Only ten cooperative rights will be sold, with no more available from today onwards. This will be the case no matter how much time passes. A new right will only be issued when the holder of a right leaves the academy without transferring it to someone else first. In other words, this is a permanent right. I personally believe that the earlier bidder has gotten himself quite a good deal!”

After Bai Xiaofei’s explanation, Xie Guangyun laughed heartily. Actually, no matter how much the four bosses bidded, Bai Xiaofei would not take any money from them. After all, four quotas had already been internally allotted to them.

This was Bai Xiaofei’s way of thanking them. Without their support, many parts of Bai Xiaofei’s plan wouldn’t have been able to progress as smoothly as it had. The rest of the bosses sank into a long contemplation, analyzing Bai Xiaofei's statement. At the same time, they were trying to determine the actual value of this cooperative right.

“Now, let us proceed with the second right.”

Yun Jingshuang slammed his hammer down, announcing the continuation of the auction.

“I bid thirty million!”

Chu Dangyang did not give anyone a chance to do anything and immediately raised the price to Xie Guangyun’s previous final price.

“Everyone, there are eight rights left. Give me some face and don’t fight with me over this one. Okay?”

Chu Dangyang stood up and cupped his hands as he persuaded everyone present. Unfortunately, his plead seemed to have achieved the “opposite” effect.

“Thirty five million!” Someone else made a bid as well. The regret from having given up on the first bid was apparent on his face.

“Thirty six million!” Chu Dangyang countered. He looked every bit like someone intending to fight over this to the end. Even so, the increase in his calling price wasn’t that large.

“Forty million!”

Once again, the other bidder called out a new price.

“Neither of us will benefit if this continues. Why don’t you wait for the next round? Forty one million!”

“Since you know that this won’t benefit anyone, why don’t you give up then? Forty five million!”

The other bidder stood up with a “don’t take me for an idiot” expression on his face.

“Forty six million. Trust me. There are eight more rights for sale after this. The price won’t go any higher than this. Just look at the first bid, it was sold for only thirty million!” Chu Dangyang shouted himself hoarse, not intending to stop bidding.

“If that’s the case, you should wait for the next round then. Fifty million!” The two continued howling at each other. This was when Jin Erpan was supposed to be stepping up but now the only thing he could do was smile bitterly.
