Chapter 641: Chapter 641: Exciting Auction (6)

Just like that, back and forth, Xuanjin Yu Jade and Fulin Group unwittingly became the biggest competitors in the industry, to the extent that it was common knowledge.

Having listened to Zhang Yuksheng’s account, An Yiqing couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth, feeling rather guilty for being such a hands-off manager.

"Ahem! Brother Yusheng, why didn’t you and Jinglin tell me about this?" An Yiqing coughed lightly, her tone void of any blame.

"Miss, you’ve already been too busy, what with Yuyuanzhai and Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals, not to mention looking after both the Qin Family, the Guh Family, and the Medicine Sect. Jinglin and I thought that if we could handle this matter ourselves, we would. I’ve investigated that Wang Jianwen from the Fulin Group; he’s an ordinary person who only rose up a few years ago with the help of his wife’s family. However, recently Jinglin and I discovered something that puzzled us."

Zhang Yuksheng stroked his chin thoughtfully and said under An Yiqing’s inquisitive gaze, "Originally, Xuanjin Yu Jade and Fulin Group were just trying to outbid each other for supplies, without pulling any major moves. But a few days ago, our company had a batch of top-quality raw materials from Country Fei that was suddenly snatched away by someone offering a high price. Jinglin did some digging through his contacts and found out that the batch was worth eighty million, yet the other party offered a whole double that amount, seizing the goods with a bid of one hundred and sixty million. After some investigation, Jinglin and I found out that it was Wang Jianwen who took the batch!"

An Yiqing’s expression turned to one of surprise, contemplating Wang Jianwen who was continuously bidding on the first floor.

One hundred and sixty million is no small sum! Wang Jianwen had just shelled out so much money, how could he now...

"Brother Yusheng, isn’t Fulin Group just a well-known domestic enterprise?" asked An Yiqing, her eyes flickering.

"Indeed, although Fulin Group is somewhat famous in this industry, its fame is confined within the domestic market. For the time being, there are no multinational corporations of any renown in this trade that can challenge Xuanjin. So, Miss, that’s what puzzles me too. Wang Jianwen just spent one hundred and sixty million on our goods, so how does he still have so much money to bid on Jade Spirit? Could it be that his family owns a bank?"

An Yiqing didn’t respond, quietly observing the auction hall on the first floor.

As the price climbed higher, the bidding for Jade Spirit had now stalled at one billion nine hundred and thirty million. Up to this point, there were still three people bidding: one was a foreign aristocrat, another was a disciple from an aristocratic family in Country Bai, and the last was Wang Jianwen.

One billion nine hundred and thirty million, even without the spare change, was a substantial fortune.

An Yiqing narrowed her eyes and watched Wang Jianwen, who was seated restlessly and sweating profusely.

Indeed, unless his family ran a bank, how could someone from a relatively small Fulin Group possess so much money? After all, even the wealthiest enterprises have limits on how much liquid capital they can access. Sometimes, even multinational corporations take out loans from banks for their investments.

Therefore, there’s a saying that wealthy people wake up every morning thinking about how to repay the millions in loans they owe that day.

This statement isn’t false.

Where on earth did Wang Jianwen get the connections to secure such massive funds?

Observing the auction in the main hall on the first floor entering its final stage, the aristocratic disciple from Country Bai had already given up. Now, only the foreign aristocrat and Wang Jianwen were left, incrementing their bids in a difficult struggle with each raise of one million.

With a flash in her eyes, An Yiqing signaled Zhang Yuksheng to lower his head, and she whispered a few instructions in his ear.
