Chapter 697 - Taotie Restaurant (1/2)

In Shanghai, Lin Momo was still at work. She was sitting on the sofa in the office and had a slight frown on her face. Recently, she had been worried about the events happening in the capital.

Lin’s Jewelry and Tangmen Pharmaceutical Company were located in Shanghai. They had spent money on all aspects and their capital chain was broken.

Although the impact was not too serious and the company could still maintain its operations, it had hindered her work and she could not rush to the capital within such a short period of time.

Although she had just called Qin Haodong, she did not have much hope. After all, she needed quite a large amount of money.

At this moment, the phone gave out a “ding” sound. She grabbed the phone and glanced at it casually. When she read the contents clearly, she suddenly sat up with an incredulous look on her face.

In such a short period of time, one billion yuan had been transferred into her account and the source of it was from the capital.

Where did he get one billion yuan in such a short time?

She quickly dialed Qin Haodong’s cell phone again.

“Haodong, I suddenly received one billion yuan in my account. What’s going on?”

“I asked someone to transfer it,” Qin Haodong said, “I’m at the auction house in the capital. It’s just the first payment. There will be more money going to your account later.”

“How many pills did you sell?”

“Nine pills, I just sold nine pills.”

“What? You earned so much money with only nine pills?”

Lin Momo was shocked. The profit margin was so high. If selling medicine could make so much money, what was the point of running a company? A casual sale of a batch of pills could land tens of billions of yuan into the account.

“Why are you surprised? My pills are worth those prices.”

Qin Haodong’s pills were all made from 5,000-year-old herbs. They were extremely precious.

If it wasn’t for the presence of the Alien Demon, he would not be willing to sell these pills in order to help the Seven Great Families, no matter how much money they could fetch. After all, there were only very few of the 5,000-year-old medicinal herbs. They were absolutely non-renewable resources.

After he hung up, the action at the auction house was starting to get lively. The news had spread and the masters of the Seven Great Families in the capital could not keep still. Pills that could improve cultivation were too precious for any family. After receiving the news, they immediately brought their people to the auction house.

Seeing the huge lineup of the Seven Great Families, those small families and rogue cultivators felt desperate. Originally, when they heard that ten pills were up for sale this time, they still held a glimmer of hope of getting one. But now, it was virtually impossible.

Hua Mingrui said, “Haodong, I don’t think the way you’re doing the auction it is right.”

Qin Haodong asked, “What’s wrong?”

Hua Mingrui said, “As the saying goes, rare things are expensive. You have taken out too many pills at one time. You should sell them separately. You should only take out one or two pills a day, so that you can sell them at a higher price.”

“If you take out more than 30 at one time, I’m afraid that the price will not be much higher than the price just now.”

“I didn’t expect the Tea Fairy to be so business minded.” Qin Haodong looked at Hua Mingrui and smiled. “It’s enough. There’s no need to sell them at a higher price.”

Of course, he knew that rare things were expensive, but he just wanted to make money. In addition, he had to help the Seven Great Families, so he would not do it the way that Hua Mingrui had suggested.

If it were not for the fact that there were not many pills left in the first batch and he needed to meet the Tang Sect’s needs first, he would have taken out more to sell.

Because of the huge impact of his pills, most of the other items in the auction were sold off hastily. When all the people from the Seven Great Families were present, the auction of pills began.

As expected, although Qin Haodong took out 10 Big Strengthening Pills, 10 Energy-gathering Pills and 10 Spirit Culturing Pills at one time, the auction price was only a little higher than before, barely reaching 1.5 billion yuan.

With so many pills available, people would naturally offer a lower price.

At this time, when the last Saint Pill was auctioned, the auctioneer said on the stage, “This is a magical pill. It is called the Saint Pill, which can help a level nine supreme power master to break through the bottleneck of the Saint Realm and the rate of success is 50 percent.”

“The starting price is 500 million yuan and each bid must not be less than 10 million yuan. This rare opportunity must not be missed. Now, please start your bidding!”

Qin Haodong sat in the private room and watched. According to his plan, this Saint Pill would definitely be sold at a sky-high price. After all, there were very few pills that could help a level nine supreme power master to break through the bottleneck.

Unexpectedly, after the auctioneer announced the start of the bidding, even after a long while, there was silence in the venue and no one made any bids.

After an initial period of shock, he immediately understood. It seemed that these people did not believe in the Saint Pill. There were only two level nine supreme power masters in each family and they were not at the same level as the other supreme power masters.

If something really happened and their strength was affected, the family would immediately become the last of the Seven Great Families.

Qin Haodong was right. The masters of the Seven Great Families did have such concerns. After all, for so many years, none of the masters in Seven Great Families in the capital had ever broken through the bottleneck of the Saint Realm.

No one had ever seen the Saint Pill before. If it could help in the breakthrough after taking it, it would be great. But what if it had a bad effect on one’s cultivation? It would be disastrous for any family to lose a supreme power master of ninth level.

The room remained silent for a long time. At this moment, Qin Zhan’ao raised the number plate in his hand. “I’ll pay 500 million yuan.”

After his bid, the others immediately looked at him. The other six families were whispering among themselves. Everyone was very curious about the effect of this pill. Since the Qin family was willing to take this risk, let them try it.

Because everyone had the same idea, no one else bid after Qin Zhan’ao put in his bid. In the end, this Saint Pill was sold to the Qin family at the starting price.

Qin Haodong shook his head slightly. Being ignorant was a terrible price to pay. They missed such a great chance to buy such a precious pill.

No matter what, he had received two billion yuan and the purpose of his need to raise funds had been achieved.
