Chapter 180: 180 Brother Tao: I still have a chance!
After the Crown set its intimidating price, the pace of the auction quickly accelerated.
Yueqing, too lazy to dawdle, would wait until everyone had placed a bid or two, then entered an exorbitantly high price!
Other private rooms: "Is there even any room left to bid? Can we get a sense of participation?!"
The auctioneer eventually stopped looking at the bids displayed by the other private rooms, instead staring intently at private room number one, as if waiting for them to provide an even bigger surprise!
Sure enough, for jewelry starting at two hundred thousand, Yueqing bid eight hundred thousand.
For jade carvings priced at five hundred thousand, Yueqing bid one million two hundred thousand.
And for a cultural relic worth three million, Yueqing went straight in with a bid of five million!
Other private rooms: "We can’t afford it, we really can’t afford it!"
Boss Tao’s face turned from dark to pitch black!
What’s going on tonight? Has he kicked an iron board?!
Who is this big shot that seems to just throw money around?
Don’t they have a budget?
Or perhaps their family owns the world’s bank?!
Are their savings all calculated in hundreds of millions?!
Otherwise, how could they keep bidding?!
Of the ten auction items, aside from the second which was a failed attempt to drive up the price and ended up in his own hands, the rest were all secured by private room number one with overwhelming bids.
Boss Tao several times wanted to raise the bid against the other party, but then he thought about the Watermark Paper...
Never mind, never mind...
The person in private room number one seemed to have a mind-reading device, knowing their thoughts...
He was genuinely afraid of overstepping again!
The guests in the other private rooms shared Boss Tao’s sentiment.
Thus, tonight’s auction turned into a personal debut for private room number one.
Jun Lii had a fair understanding of these items, estimating a rough price for each of the auction items.
Yueqing was quite satisfied. Buy!
Beautiful jewelry for Tang Bao!
Jade carvings for Yan Bao!
Cultural relics for the darling!
Buy, buy, buy!
Not missing a single one!
The service lad never imagined that today, he could actually stay put in one private room, right?
From the initial shock of swiping the card, to later on...
His hand was almost becoming numb from swiping...
Really!
The staff’s lives mattered too! With such large sums, he was terrified of pressing the wrong button, adding an extra zero or something...
The key point was, seeing Miss Yan’s bold and generous act, as well as her utterly unconcerned expression... the service lad even felt that if he added two more zeros into the amount, this card would still be able to process the payment!
Wang Meitong’s live broadcast room was also fired up by this operation.
"Private room number one must be some big shot, right? Gosh, is there anything they don’t outbid?!"
"I never thought that one day, watching Top Brother bid one million would make me think: Is that all?! Just one million? How does that compare to the big shot in private room number one?"
"+1, I’m blown away too! Even though it’s not my money, watching rich people spend money is so exhilarating!"
"Can I be auctioned off? I just want to see how much the big shot would bid for me?! This might be the closest I ever get to money in my life!"
"Someone without diabetes wake him up; don’t let him taste the sweetness anymore."
"Hahaha, I think what’s most epic is that we all wanted to see Top Brother’s grand moves tonight, but instead, another tycoon has completely suppressed him!"
"Yeah, even Top Brother dares not make a sound, which just shows there are always bigger fish out there!"
"Top Brother’s reaction is the correct one! You see, in novels, the protagonists often slap the supporting characters, but in reality, the wealthy often share information, especially those who dare to bid such high amounts at auctions. It means the opponent is not to be underestimated! Who would bother looking for trouble if they can avoid it? Why provoke someone when you could hug their thick thigh instead? Anyone doing so must be out of their mind!"
Wang Meitong wanted to explain a bit more for Top Brother, but after seeing this comment, she lost some of her enthusiasm.
That’s right, even Brother Tao himself hasn’t said anything; if she tried to support Brother Tao by belittling the guest in private room number one...
Would Brother Tao be pleased, or would he find her foolish?
After hesitating, she found an opportunity to ask softly, "Brother Tao, should I turn off the live stream?"
Not wanting to appear weaker in defeat, especially since they had been live streaming for so long and were now approaching the climax, Brother Tao gritted his teeth and shook his head: "No need!"
The current auction items were either cultural relics and antiques or jewelry and gems, all with significant collection value.
If the big shot likes it, then so be it...
The upcoming real estate though, was not cheap!
He didn’t believe it!
The guest in private room number one could come up with more money than all three of their families combined!
Finally, the lights dimmed again, and an image of a construction site for a simulated real estate project appeared on the screen.
The auctioneer introduced, "Next, I am honored to introduce the finale of today’s auction—the East Suburb property in City C!"
He enthusiastically spoke about the property for a minute before announcing, "The starting price, one hundred million, with increments of five million each time!"
Brother Tao took a deep breath, finally waiting for its debut!
Without hesitation, he entered a bid of one hundred ten million.
In the private room, Yan Yueqing pondered, "I’ve read the property information sent by Qiming, and according to the market value, this property is estimated to be worth about eight hundred million."
Jun Lii was an expert in this area, "The price after completion is estimated at eight hundred million, but right now it’s unfinished, with only the main structure in place. Also, due to the surrounding area’s influence, unless the municipal council develops this district carefully in the future, the overall price would be about eight hundred thirty million."
Yueqing thought that Jun Lii was truly amazing! He hadn’t even read the complete information, yet just from the auctioneer’s description, he was able to pinpoint the essentials and give a price that was close to what Qiming concluded after much research.
Jun Yan raised his delicate chin, his exquisite profile exuding something of a young tycoon’s flair, "I estimate that the opposite side has prepared at most ten billion!"
Yan Wang nodded, "With the auction premium included, even if they brought ten billion, they wouldn’t put it all in."
"Then we’ll just increase it by ten million each time," Jun Yan spread his hands, "Starting at one hundred million and going up to about seven hundred fifty million, their bids will slow down significantly!"
"So that’s how it is..." Yueqing picked up the tablet and directly entered a bid.
Brother Tao had just bid two hundred thirty million, and the competition with guest number 15 in the private room would not be too intense.
Ah, finally feeling a bit involved!
Just how long will the person in private room number one take to make a move?! Now it’s only two hundred million; they must be waiting until it reaches six hundred million at least, right?
The very next second!
A ding sound!
The LED screen above the auctioneer’s head lit up, displaying a ten-digit number.
"Number one bids——" the auctioneer suddenly paused, counting twice before carefully announcing, "Ten billion!"
"Fuck!" The client in private room fifteen nearly threw their tablet, "Is this even playable anymore?!"
Brother Tao was so shocked that he stood up!
Ten billion?!
All three families together had only prepared ten billion; how could the other party directly offer their maximum price?!
@#¥#¥...@¥%...
What to do!
My inner monologue is filthy, okay?!!!!
