C1326 Testing Price 1 Billion
C1326 Testing Price 1 Billion
The restlessness in the hall immediately disappeared, waiting for her to speak.
"There are only eleven fruits, and there are so many people here. I believe everyone can guess how intense the competition will be. Thus, I need to remind everyone, if you have limited financial resources, then just give up on the idea of competing. "
As soon as these words were spoken, some of the people who were worth several hundred million instantly became dispirited.
They weren't stupid. This was clearly telling them that the price of the Human-Faced Ghost Tree's fruit would be extremely expensive, to the extent that ordinary people wouldn't be able to afford it!
Gu Ling's gaze swept across everyone's faces, observing the changes in their expressions. He discovered that most of the people's expressions had become dispirited, and only a few of them had relaxed expressions. They were full of confidence. She silently counted the number of people and continued to add: "In order to be fair, we will auction them one by one tonight. But I also need to remind everyone that the fruits that are being auctioned at the end... The price will be higher, and the competition will be more intense. Everyone, please be mentally prepared! "
Hearing this, some of the wealthy big shots could not help but feel nervous.
There were too many monks and too little food. It was obviously not easy to bid for the fruit. There would definitely be a bloody massacre.
"Let's start the bidding for the first fruit now!" Gu Ling waved at the waiter. The waiter immediately carried the silver plate and brought the fruit that was already packed in a brocade box.
Everyone's breathing became rapid as they pricked up their ears, afraid that they would miss a word.
"The starting price is one billion! Each bid must be no less than one hundred million!" Gu Ling smiled slightly and made some changes to the original price that he had discussed with Manager Gu. It became 1 billion, which was the starting price, and the increment was 100 million.
"What? One billion?!"
The crowd cried out in alarm. Even though everyone had been mentally prepared for this, they were still shocked when they heard the shocking price.
They thought that a fruit like this would at most cost 400 to 500 million.
Unfortunately, they had underestimated the value of such a treasure. In fact, if the fruit of the Human-Faced Ghost Tree was placed in World of Martial Dao, it would only cost 400 to 500 million. After all, a fruit that could increase a warrior's cultivation was something that could only be traded with heavenly materials. It's enough to make people fight for it with everything they have.
"I'm sorry everyone, I haven't made myself clear enough. For the sake of taking care of the people present... In order to prevent some guests from returning empty-handed, everyone can only bid for two at most. The first one is a test price. It's convenient for Master Rong to bid for it. " Gu Ling's words were as light as a feather, but it caused the entire hall to fall silent.
One billion was only for the sake of taking care of Rong Biao's bid?
This was a fucking joke, right?
And he wanted to test the price...
Didn't this mean that the starting price of the fruits would exceed one billion?
Crazy!
He was really crazy!
Some of the poorer people felt that this world was filled with malice.
Not everyone could afford to extend their life. Only the real big shots could afford such a price!
The scene was silent for a full minute. After a moment, Ye Zhengxiong cleared his throat and said, "One billion and one billion!"
His calm voice frightened some of the people present.
Such an expensive thing, there was actually someone who sold it!
However, some of them reacted very quickly. If they had Ye Zhengxiong's financial resources, they would surely bid for it as well. After all, this was a treasure that could only be chanced upon by luck. If they missed it, they wouldn't have this shop.
There was no shortage of good things in the world that could not be bought with money. In the eyes of some people, things that could be solved with money were not things that could be solved with money!
"1.2 billion!"
Another big shot could not sit still any longer and hurriedly started to bid. In terms of money, Ye Zhengxiong was not the only one who had money.
"Zi Yun, bid!" Ye Zhenglong pulled Ye Ziyun's sleeve and reminded her in a low voice.
Ye Ziyun lightly nodded her head and indifferently shouted, "1.3 billion!"
"Miss Ye bids 1.3 billion. Is there anyone else who offers a higher price?" Gu Ling acted as usual and asked with a smile. At the same time, she looked at Rong Biao and said, "Right, Master Rong, are you not going to bid?"
When Rong Biao heard this, he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.
Make a bid?
How would he bid?
The price was a few billion, where did he get so much money?
Although he was indeed quite rich compared to the average person, his net worth was not even a few billion.
"Miss Gu is making things difficult for me. I don't have that much money!" Rong Biao told the truth.
Hearing this, Gu Ling smiled helplessly. "What a pity!"
Of course, she didn't have the slightest intention of looking down on Rong Biao. Someone who could casually take out billions of liquid funds... He was either a business owner or a big shot with a lot of assets. Not everyone could casually earn a huge amount of wealth.
Rong Biao was very capable in appraising treasures, but that did not mean he was good at making money.
Just like scientists, the brilliant scientists had very high achievements in the field of science, but they might not be able to make money.
Faced with Rong Biao giving up, Ye Zhengxiong looked at him and didn't say anything.
You want Ye Zhengxiong to buy a fruit and gift it to Rong Biao?
You think too much.
If the price of a Human-Faced Ghost Tree fruit was only one to two hundred million, then Ye Zhengxiong might really buy it to give to Rong Biao. After all, one to two hundred million was nothing to Ye Zhengxiong.
But the price of the fruit was one billion at the bottom. Who knew how much it would cost? Even a big shot like Ye Zhengxiong felt a little heartache at such a price. Not to mention, the auction house had set the rules for the auction. A person could only bid for two fruits at most.
If Ye Zhengxiong bid for one fruit and gave it to Rong Biao, he could only get one fruit at most.
To him, it was too "generous" and not worth it.
"1.4 billion!"
"1.5 billion!"
" 1.6 billion! "
Very quickly, a wave of bids sounded out in the hall. The sound was still considered loud and clear, causing some of the people present to feel a chill run down their spines.
The price soared all the way until it reached two billion very quickly.
At this moment, some of the people who didn't have the financial resources directly fell into despair. How were they going to continue bidding?
They did not even have the qualifications to bid!
When deities fought, not to mention participating, they didn't even have the qualifications to enter the group!
As for those who had the financial resources but felt that the price had been raised and were hesitating, they panicked at this moment.
It's true!
The price of Human-Faced Ghost Tree was already ridiculously high, but even with such an absurd price, there was actually no need to worry about selling it!
At this moment, most of the people present truly felt how the word 'poor' was written.
"2.1 billion!"
The price was still rising, but the voices of the bidders were not loud. After counting, there were only about ten people.
These people were obviously the most wealthy group of people present.
"Grandpa, should we make a move?" Loong Wanyu thought for a moment and couldn't help but look at Loong Xiangyang.
