Williams and the many Krautopian tycoons, seeing that someone else could still afford the bid, were initially stunned, then smashed their wine glasses in anger.
“Damn it! Both the Webb Family and the Liberty Alliance are out of money; how can this guy still come up with so much?”
“Mr. Greg… Please, don’t be angry! Since he only added five million, it suggests he doesn’t have much money left–probably just trying to test our bottom line!”
Williams, sweating on his forehead, hurriedly tried to appease, “Besides, we still have over ten billion prepared, we can totally outlast him!”
Hearing this, the wealthy family head Kamden Jensen waved his hand, signaling to continue bidding.
Williams cleared his throat and raised the price to ninety billion and one hundred million.
…
“Senior!”
Seeing the numbers on the screen change again, Karen Milton and Zoey Milton both turned back, staring at Greg Jensen with nervousness creeping into their hearts.
After all, ninety billion… was already reaching their budget, and every subsequent bid might be their last.
“Heh, increasing by one billion each time, the Williams Family must not have much left, right?”
Greg Jensen jeered, clearly seeing that they were nearing their limit, and with a grand gesture, he pressed the button and said:
“I bid ninety-two billion!”
Hiss!
By adding more than one hundred billion at once, he undeniably blocked Williams’s path.
So much so that the whole room fell deathly silent, everyone holding their breath in unison.
The appearance of Guest 0504 was like Cheng Yaojin emerging halfway, catching them completely off guard and unprepared.
“Heh heh… Miss host, since no one else is bidding, you might as well hammer down, right?”
Greg Jensen saw the stunning hostess frozen in place and couldn’t help but remind her.
The radiant hostess realized her lapse, uttered ‘oh oh’ twice, and prepared to count down from three according to procedure.
But unexpectedly, Williams suddenly called out across the room:
“Wait! Since the price has been raised to this level, there’s no need to rush this moment!”
These words were naturally directed at the auctioneer.
He then paused and in a sinister tone said:
“Guest 0504, Snow Wave Mountain is extremely important to me and the Kimchi Country Five Star Group. Why don’t you do us a favor and let us have it, we can discuss compensation later. After all, it’s always better to have one more friend than one more enemy, isn’t it?”
Clearly, they couldn’t offer any more money and could only urge Greg Jensen to give up voluntarily. However, there was still an element of threat in his words.
Thus, the whole room awaited the response from Guest 0504, wondering whether anyone would dare not to give face to the local power on Octavian soil.
If not, even if they won Snow Wave Mountain, Williams could always stir up trouble with a large group of supporters. The best course of action would be to choose a protector from one of the two major Jade Families.
Unfortunately… they still underestimated Greg Jensen.
Without a second thought, he responded coldly, “If I remember correctly, you said earlier that this is an auction where the highest bidder wins, did you not? Heh, have you forgotten your own words so quickly?”
“You!!” Williams was left speechless by his retort.
Greg Jensen scoffed, “If you can afford the money, bid; if you can’t, then shut your mouth! Don’t think just because you’re a local family, I ought to give you any grace!”
The statement was made with such firmness that Williams had no choice but to mute his microphone.
In the end, the land rights to Snow Wave Mountain were bought by Greg Jensen for an astronomical sum of 910 billion.
The high-ranking officials and manager of the auction house immediately took Greg Jensen and Karen Milton to complete the transaction.
At the same time, the other VIP guests began to make their calculations.
The first to act were naturally Jim Conant and the Samurai from Cherrywood, who had planned to stage an ambush once the dust settled.
So when the auction ended, they moved their people to lie in wait on the outskirts, leaving only a few inside to see who the buyer was.
Close behind were Williams and the tycoons from Krautopia, who had prepared for so long with their resources, only to come up empty-handed; they all wanted to find the other party to see if there was a chance of a financial investment for a share of the equity.
En route, Kamden Jensen’s face was ashen as he declared bluntly,
“Damn it, I don’t care what methods you use this time, but you must get me at least forty percent of the shares! If that guy doesn’t agree, huh, even if it means killing him, you get it done for me!”
“Yes! Rest assured, Mr. Jensen, after all, Octavia is my turf, and so far, nobody has had the guts to disrespect me!” Williams grumbled, already mobilizing his capable subordinates.
Meanwhile, the Webb Family also moved out in full force.
“Father, you… what are you planning to do?”
Shirley clung tightly behind Brandon Grant, sensing ominous forebodings as she saw the murderous intent in the eyes of those accompanying her.
Frank Taylor shook his head with a wry smile, “Miss, you’d better head back. If one of our two major families didn’t buy Snow Wave Mountain, the buyer will definitely face multiple pressures. It’s uncertain who they’ll compromise with, and we must get there first!”
That is to say, although they did not purchase the land rights to Snow Wave Mountain, it did not mean they had no chance to obtain some equity. It would depend on who could persuade the buyer.
Whether through open strategies or underhanded tactics, this was their only and last opportunity to get a piece of the pie. Without it, they would have absolutely no stake in the subsequent development of Snow Wave Mountain.
Realizing this, Shirley gasped in understanding, but still showed no intention of leaving, excitedly saying,
“I… I’ll come with you guys! I want to know who can fork out so much money!”
As the major families and conglomerates mobilized, the perimeter was already packed with onlookers.
They knew the auction might have ended, but the real bloodbath had yet to begin.
The two major families would never allow Snow Wave Mountain, a landmark of their homeland, to fall into the hands of outsiders.
If things went wrong, a fight might break out as soon as they stepped out of the auction house!
Even if something did happen, the local authorities wouldn’t particularly intervene, because as far as the fate of Snow Wave Mountain was concerned, they would of course prefer it to rest with a local power.
…
At this moment, in the meeting room of Ulisse Auction House.
After paying for the land, Greg Jensen was about to leave with Karen Milton and Zoey Milton.
But a middle-aged man suddenly blocked their path:
“Mr. Ouyang, I think it’s better for you to leave later! Snow Wave Mountain is now in your hands, and people from all the major families are getting restless. Why don’t you wait for the experts from our auction house to arrive before we escort you out? It won’t be too late!”
The speaker was the high-level executive of the auction house, Tom Palmer.
Clearly, he had anticipated the situation outside and was considering Greg Jensen’s position empathetically.
Greg Jensen simply laughed it off, “No need, a bunch of rotten fish coming at me won’t scare anyone. I appreciate the thought of the auction house! Karen, Zoey, let’s go!”
“This…”
