Changes in the Auction
But Fatty Lai and Doctor Kang's family were at odds with each other!
What kind of person was Doctor Kang? He was a tycoon in the medical world, and even he was willing to pay such a high price for a pill. How could it be a normal pill?
The crowd was starting to regret not joining the bidding when the first pill was brought out, allowing Liu Tianyi to take advantage of the situation. The price was now at 400 million, and it might not even be the final price!
As expected, Kang Guifeng raised his paddle again under Doctor Kang's signal. "410 million!"
He didn't dare raise the bid too much this time. House Kang only had about 500 million in liquid assets, and if he were to raise the bid too much, they'd run out of liquid assets and their business would be affected.
But after Kang Guifeng raised the bid, Fatty Lai didn't make a sound. Those who didn't know the situation would think that Fatty Lai was out of money and was hesitating or giving up.
Fatty Lai, however, smiled at Lin Yi. "Boss, I think House Kang's at their limit. I'll raise the bid one more time and they'll definitely be able to keep up, but it'll be hard to say if I raise it again."
"Yeah, that's enough." Lin Yi smiled. This Fatty Lai was quite sarcastic, but Lin Yi didn't have a good impression of Doctor Kang's family. He wouldn't stop Fatty Lai from messing with them.
"410 million going once … 410 million going twice …" The auctioneer paused and looked at Fatty Lai to see if he was going to raise the bid.
Doctor Kang was seething with anger. What kind of game was this auctioneer playing? Why was he looking at Fatty Lai if he didn't have the guts to go in for the third time? Wasn't he encouraging Fatty Lai to go against him?
However, the auctioneer's encouragement was effective. Fatty Lai gritted his teeth and stood up abruptly, raising his paddle. "420 million!"
Doctor Kang's heart turned cold. Motherf * cker, isn't this auctioneer too mean? But this was House Yu's auction house. Even if Doctor Kang had something to say, he couldn't say it out loud. He could only swallow his anger and signal Kang Guifeng to continue!
This time, Doctor Kang had already decided to bet his "treasure" on the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing. Judging from the current situation, there were probably only three of these pills left. If he missed this one, there wouldn't be any left. Hence, Doctor Kang had no choice but to grit his teeth and bear with it.
"430 million!" Kang Guifeng raised the bidding board in his hand.
"430 million going once … 430 million going twice … 430 million going thrice … sold!" The auctioneer wanted Fatty Lai to continue bidding, but regrettably, Fatty Lai backed off this time. He was out of money and decided to give up. He sat there quietly, not moving an inch.
The happiest person right now was Liu Tianyi. He was feeling great! He'd thought that 280 million for a Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing was expensive, but now he felt like he'd gotten a great deal! Fatty Lai didn't even get the last pill for 420 million. It was Doctor Kang's family who got it for 430 million!
But he was wrong. He thought he was the happiest person, but that wasn't the case. The happiest person was Fatty Lai! He'd played everyone in the hall!
These three elixirs had brought the company nearly a billion yuan in profit! This was an important stage of the company's development. With a billion yuan, they could do a lot of things! Fatty Lai did want to bid for one earlier, but since Lin Yi had already agreed to give him one, he didn't want to mess things up anymore.
"Boss, I didn't think we'd have so much money all of a sudden!" Fatty Lai chuckled.
Lin Yi didn't think that three normal Bone and Marrow Cleansing Pills could sell for so much money. Old Lin had packed them into jars for him to eat when he was young …
"Heh … You won't be left out!" Lin Yi was very impressed with Fatty Lai's business acumen. If Fatty Lai hadn't messed things up today, the three Pills of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing wouldn't have sold for such a high price.
"Thank you, Boss!" Fatty Lai nodded excitedly.
However, just as the auctioneer was about to introduce the next item, someone from the guest seats spoke up!
"Good things should be shared with everyone! Little Yu Haitian, ask the seller if they still have the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing. We haven't even started bidding and the item is already gone. This isn't fair! "The person who spoke was the head of the Iron Fist Wu Family, Wu Gonggao.
His name was very well chosen. Wu Gonggao naturally meant that he was highly skilled in martial arts. It was a bit of a boast, but it was well deserved! He was one of the few remaining Mystic class masters in the common world! Only he dared to speak to someone from House Yu like this!
House Wu Iron Fist was an ancient noble house. Although they looked to be about the same age as Liu Tianyi's House Liu, for a century-old noble house like this, which one of them didn't have a trump card? Even the head of House Wu, Wu Gonggao's martial arts were enough to shock the audience! Even House Yu was wary of him.
It could be said that as long as Wu Gonggao was in charge of House Wu Iron Fist, no one dared to underestimate them!
Wu Gonggao rushed over after receiving a call from his grandson, Wu Chentian. He was in Yanjing as well, and had come to House Yu's auction, but a head of a house like him would rarely attend the first and second day of the auction. The first two auctions were usually attended by the descendants of the house, and he would only attend the last one himself.
But when he heard that there was a Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing that had a price of two hundred and eighty million, and that House Yu was making a move, he couldn't sit still anymore. He rushed over to the auction site, just in time for the auctioneer's final hammer strike.
Chentian, on the other hand, took a look at the introduction of the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, and immediately felt that it was similar to the long-lost Bone Cleansing Pill in Wulin. His interest was piqued, and he interrupted the auction unwillingly!
If it were just a normal noble house's disciple or a rich merchant asking, Haitian would naturally have an excuse to reject him, but the person asking was the head of House Wu Iron Fist, Wu Gonggao, a Mystic class master. He naturally didn't dare ignore him, and looked at his second uncle.
"Ask Mister Lai Changyi for his opinion." The middle-aged man hesitated before speaking faintly. "If there's more, it's fine to take out a few more. We won't take a cut!"
