Chapter 230: Auction, Hypnosis_2

“1.05 billion.”
The bidder was a man seated in the last row, tucked away in the corner.
The auctioneer’s gavel was about to come down, but upon hearing this bid, it froze in mid-air.
Then, the auctioneer’s gaze looked somewhat anxious as it turned toward Qin Lu.
Nan Yan raised an eyebrow, appearing nonchalant, and raised her bidding paddle once again.
“1.5 billion.”
The man in the corner spoke up again, “1.51 billion.”
Pfft…
The auctioneer felt like cold sweat was about to break out on his back.
Was this a deliberate attempt to challenge Mr. Qin?
Qin Lu lightly squeezed Nan Yan’s hand, “Yan Yan, your bidding increments are a bit stingy. Say a bit more, let’s see how far he’s willing to go.” Nan Yan looked at him and said, “Big brother is right.”
She then leisurely raised her bidding paddle and said, “5 billion.”
“This young lady has already bid 5 billion. Is there… anyone else willing to raise the bid?”
The auctioneer’s legs felt weak.
A single ginseng root was being auctioned for 5 billion, even if it were a miraculous elixir, this price seemed excessively high!
In previous auctions, there had been items that went for even higher prices, but he had never been so shocked.
The man in the corner had a sinister look in his eyes.
He wanted this five-hundred-year-old ginseng root, but he didn’t have that much money. His earlier bid of 1.51 billion had already been his limit.
He definitely couldn’t afford 5 billion.
But he absolutely had to get his hands on this ginseng root!
Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to fully harness the ginseng root’s maximum potential, and in their hands, this rare treasure would be wasted!
The auctioneer, not hearing any more bids from others, quickly pounded the gavel.
This was definitely the fastest gavel he had ever hit in his career.
“5 billion, going once.”
“5 billion, going twice.”
“5 billion, going three times, sold!”
“Now, this ginseng root belongs to this young lady. Congratulations to her for successfully winning the bid.”
The audience, after experiencing such a shock, quickly began to applaud.
Thanks to Nan Yan’s tens of billions in additional bids, no one made minor increases for the subsequent auction items.
What was supposed to be a long and drawn-out auction ended an hour ahead of schedule.
At 10 PM local time in China, after the final item was presented for auction, Qin Lu immediately set a fixed price, not giving anyone else a chance to place a second bid.
Throughout the entire auction, even though Qin Lu and Nan Yan had only bid on two items, the total amount they appeared to have spent was the highest in the entire venue.
A grand total of 15 billion!!!
Below the stage, Nan Yan rested her chin on her hand and asked curiously, “Big brother, how much commission do you get from this auction?”
“Not much, around 10 billion or so.”
He received a commission based on a percentage of the total proceeds. Qin Lu was one of the shareholders in this auction, and he had invested a portion of it initially.
“The items we just bid on will be given an 20% discount,” he continued.
With a total of 15 billion, they would only need to pay 12 billion when it came time for payment. Taking into account the commission, the actual price of these two items, which had already surpassed 10 billion each, would end up being around 2 billion. In other words, they made a profit of 8 billion?
Taking into account the commission, these two items with an actual price exceeding 10 billion, would end up costing around 2 billion. All in all, they made a profit of 8 billion?
Nan Yan:
She was working hard for 1 billion, and here, Mr. Qin made 8 billion in just a few hours…
Moreover, the value she could derive from that ginseng root in her possession was priceless.
After leaving the auction venue and arriving at the banquet hall,
Qin Lu reached out to tidy her hair beside her ear and asked, “Do you want something to eat?”
“Sure.”
They didn’t need to rush back right away.
As expected, just as Nan Yan guessed, Qin Lu fetched some food for her and then temporarily left.
“Excuse me, beautiful lady. May I sit here?”
A splendid and magnetic voice sounded next to Nan Yan while she was eating.
She put down what she was holding and looked up at the exotic man standing in front of her. She replied with two words, “You cannot.”
He seemed surprised. Strelar apparently hadn’t expected to be rejected. He was the man who had competed with Nan Yan for the ginseng root earlier.
He thought that in the dim light during the auction and with the different tone he used for bidding, Nan Yan wouldn’t recognize him. Plus, he had absolute confidence in his own good looks.
With his face, he had always been successful with women.
However, today, he had run into a roadblock with Nan Yan.
Seeing that he was still standing there and showing no intention of leaving, Nan Yan’s voice turned cold, “Could you please go somewhere else and not disturb my meal here?”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
