If it's going to be a collaboration, why not go to the upgraded Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce, which has more capital, more capabilities, and is more outstanding, instead of doing business with you, you good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing Long Group?
"100 million!"
I didn't get it last time, but I'll try again this time!
I refuse to believe you can pull out any more...
"200."
Bai Jinxuan said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Long Lan couldn't hold back any longer and stood up, shouting, "Don't go too far!"
“Mr. Long Lan, we bid in a civilized manner, and financial resources should be the deciding factor. I followed the rules, so how did I go too far? It is Mr. Long Lan who is going too far with your actions.”
"you......!"
He glared at Bai Jinxuan through gritted teeth, then looked back at his cousin and the partners of the Long Group, took two deep breaths, and raised his hand, saying, "210 billion!"
"250 million!"
The Qian family also joined the fray; for the sake of the family's future, he had no choice but to buy the spot.
But it seems that only that mysterious woman, from beginning to end, had a playful attitude and offered prices without any concern.
"300."
"..."
"..."
For a moment, people from other chambers of commerce were somewhat confused about the unit "billion".
This really isn't 300.
Is it a block?
Why can they just casually call out this price?
What exactly is 300 billion to her?
Throughout the entire auction, all the other items combined did not reach 300 billion!
"The Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce has offered 300 billion. Does anyone else want to make a bid?"
"..."
"Then congratulations to the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce for winning the second slot to use the divine artifact!"
The host's voice trembled slightly; clearly, she hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
However, the thought of her commission rekindled her enthusiasm.
"Next, let's auction our third spot, starting at 10 billion."
"..."
The room was very quiet; everyone remained silent for a while, seemingly waiting for someone to speak first.
But that person remained silent for a long time.
As a result, the meeting room fell into an eerie silence, and no one dared to speak.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Just as the host was about to make a move, Long Lan spoke up.
"20."
The mysterious woman didn't offer a price, so it seems that two spots are enough. In that case, I don't need to rush; I can take my time.
Without her, wouldn't the rest of them be easy to manipulate?
However, his old rival, the Qian family, soon caught up.
"30."
Following suit, other large companies with similar ideas also began to rush in.
It's the last spot, so we can't worry about anything else. Forget about the Long family or the Qian family; they all have to take a backseat to this spot.
Life is only once. No matter how much money you have, once you die, you're gone and can't take it with you to the underworld.
With this opportunity to use the divine artifact, one can extend their lifespan and live much longer. The ancient demons in the guild must have relied on this to maintain their long lives!
We can't compete with your Long Group or Qian Group now, but wait until you're in your graves a few decades from now, and then let's see if you'll still dare to cause trouble!
"50 million!"
"54 million!"
"60 million!"
Once this was realized, the atmosphere at the auction was heated up again.
For them, this spot is their last chance!
However, Long Lan stated that he would never let anyone else take away what he had his eye on.
"200 million!"
Now that he had already paid the price, he no longer felt the same heartache as before.
He believed the artifact was worth the price.
But he didn't expect that even so, there would still be companies wanting to follow suit.
"205 million!"
The person making the offer was an old man, nearing the end of his life, whose thirst for survival had almost driven him to madness.
This situation made more people suddenly realize the value of this magical artifact.
Immortality!
Just like Oripathy, medical technology is powerless against brain deterioration. Even with a new body, the brain remains the same, and lifespan is limited.
However, if it's a magical device, it can revitalize the brain!
Instantly, the respected old men in the hall became enthusiastic. Some of them had been given the bodies of young men, and some had been given the bodies of middle-aged men, but only they knew their actual age and how close they were to death.
The chance to defy fate is now!
He founded the family business, so what if he gambles the entire family's future on it now?
Isn't it only natural?
"230 million!"
"270 million!"
"320 million!"
The price was still rising, and Long Lan was already drenched in sweat.
These old men suddenly went crazy, bidding recklessly, scaring the rest of the family so much they almost wet themselves.
What's going on? Where did we get so much money? Grandpa, don't do anything reckless!
Similar situations have occurred repeatedly in many families.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Jinxuan bought two slots for divine artifacts for 500 billion, making a huge profit.
Many elderly people regretted their dizziness and blurred vision, and that they hadn't figured out the power of this magical artifact before the mysterious woman took advantage of them.
She's an absolute old hag! She traveled all the way to Star City to steal treasure!
"500 million!"
"510 million!"
The deafening roar transformed the venue from a space for young people to showcase themselves into one of powerful, oppressive force from the elderly.
For a moment, Long Lan felt that even the old man of the Long family was about to rise from his grave and start haggling.
This was the first time he felt that it was a good thing that his grandfather passed away early.
But then he thought, no, he'll eventually follow in his grandfather's footsteps, and the entire Long Group will end up in his son Long Yuxiang's hands...
No, I don't want to die so soon!
At that moment, Long Lan also realized that he had entered middle age and would soon become an old man.
His grand ambitions have only just begun, and his career is far from over. Now you're telling him he's too old and his son should take over? Impossible!
The Long Group is mine!
Long Lan clenched his fist. Neither his cousin nor his business partner were truly his. Only his lifespan was an asset that would never betray him!
It's my hard-earned money, so why not enjoy it a bit more?
"700 million!"
Money can be earned again, but such an opportunity may never come again until you die!
Faced with such a frenzied bidding war, the head of the Qian family was dumbfounded.
It's not that he can't go along, but...
He glanced at his wife and daughter beside him, then thought of his dying father. He closed his eyes in deep thought, his right hand trembling uncontrollably.
As the current head of the Qian family, he must be responsible for everything he does. He spent so much money to save the old man, but what about afterwards? What about his wife and daughters? What about the family? What if they are purged by the Long Group?
After a moment of contemplation, he sighed helplessly, pulled his wife into his arms, and quietly watched the incredibly cruel bidding process.
At this moment, the price has reached 795 billion. Not to mention those large enterprises, even the entire Long Group would find it extremely difficult to raise this amount of money.
This shows that these old folks really did dig up the bottom of their coffins.
Fortunately, Long Lan had just managed to save up some money for his own coffin.
"800 million!"
That way, no one can match the price, right?
The limit of Star City's wealth is basically here. No matter how rich they are, where else can they go?
Even if this wave of losses is significant, as long as the core business remains, it will recover in a few years.
I, Long Lan, will stand firm and never fall!
He laughed triumphantly, looking at the dejected faces of these old folks. Haha, they're almost dead, who else do they want to torment? They should just be laid to rest soon.
But before he could laugh for long, a new price followed.
"1000."
Familiar voice.
A tone of despair.
Here she comes again.
They won't even let go of this last spot.
She's ruthless and cruel, she doesn't treat herself like a human being, she insists on stepping on her head and making fun of her like a dog!
Three spots, damn it, they're not giving out a single one!
Is this fun?
Provoked like this, Long Lan almost
He was going crazy. He stared fiercely at the mysterious woman at the head of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce, his eyes tightly closed. He took a deep breath and then issued orders to his subordinates outside, word by word.
"Tell Lao Long... net... I want to eat fish."
"receive."
--------------------
Bai Jinxuan forced herself to raise her head, using her aura to suppress everyone.
Although she reported 200 billion, 300 billion, 1000 billion, totaling 1500 billion, in reality she didn't even have 5 million.
"Dong...dong...dong..."
She felt her heart pounding. Facing the top business leaders from various industries in Star City, she couldn't show the slightest fear.
