Chapter 146: During the Auction! 2 (1/2)
Chapter 146: During the Auction! (2)
It wasn't long before the thirty minute break ended. After experiencing the first half of the auction, everyone was now looking at it in a new light. As Xie Guangyun had predicted, the three bosses had maintained contact with some people outside as well. Therefore, the coming second half of the auction would be much more interesting than the first half.
“Thank you everyone for your support. Just moments ago, I have signed contracts with the five bosses. Now, let us see who will be the ones to get the five remaining rights.”
“Next, we shall move on to the sixth round.”
Yun Jingshuang immediately slammed his hammer down. Almost instantaneously, Jin Erpan made his move.
“500 million!”
At this point, Jin Erpan was no longer bidding for the sake of inflating the price. Only five more rights were left for grabs and both he and Lin Lang must obtain one each. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to explain themselves later since both of them already had a right allocated to them respectively.
This time, the crowd behaved as if they were on drugs. Even a bid of 500 million wasn't enough to shake them now.
“550 million!”
“600 million!”
“700 million!”
One price after another was called out. The bosses who stayed during the break earlier could no longer compete. It was only at this moment that they understood the true meaning behind the break earlier.
“One billion! Feel free to keep bidding, everyone. I, Jin Erpan, will keep fighting until the end!”
Jin Erpan’s declaration failed to make anyone give up. The price still increased unceasingly.
“Two billion!”
Once again, Jin Erpan howled. This time, he was able to scare the competitors off. After all, two billion had surpassed even the total price of the first five rights. As of this moment, everyone was regretting not fighting over the rights earlier.
“Two billion going once—two billion going twice—sold!”
Yun Jingshuang’s hammer landed, concluding the sixth bid. He maintained a relaxed look on his face, yet his heart was racing like the roaring sea. He had been expecting to make some profit off this, yet he had never expected the profit to be this huge!
At this point, he was having trouble processing his thoughts. After all, this sum of money was equivalent to a top tier gold grade puppet!
“Excuse me, can we have a ten minute break?”
Just as Yun Jingshuang was about to slam his hammer down once again, a boss stood up and asked. Many people looked up expectantly when they heard him. These were the people who were itching to bid as well, but did not have the funds to do so.
“I disagree. We already had a break earlier. There is no need for another one.”
Lin Lang stood up and rejected this suggestion. The bosses who had left to gather money during the break earlier immediately voiced their agreement with this. If they gave the others a chance to gather more money, the price of the rights would only increase. This was not a good thing for them. All gazes converged on Bai Xiaofei. They could see that of the two standing on stage, Bai Xiaofei was the only one who could make the call.
“A break is not possible. However, you guys are allowed to leave temporarily. I believe there is still enough time for you guys to do what you want.”
With Bai Xiaofei’s announcement, the two opposing groups calmed down. However, Bai Xiaofei’s words also made one thing clear: the competition for the remaining rights would be extremely intense.
Over twenty bosses left the room. Unsurprisingly, when Yun Jingshuang slammed his hammer down to resume the auction, the other bosses with sufficient money started bidding madly.
“Two billion!”
