Once they figured this out, everyone started to make a ruckus. "I want that gorilla. Running Dog, name your price. I'll buy it at any price! Don't hesitate if it's a million or eight hundred thousand! "" I want that monkey, I like that one more! "" I want that gray wolf, it's best to guard the house at night! "
Even the five magnates were tempted. Wen Jianan rubbed his hands and carefully asked, "Running Dog, that … are you selling these pets or not? I want to buy a tiger to accompany my granddaughter. She loves animals … "
"I'm sorry, Sir." Running Dog shook his head and said in a very human-like manner, "Young Master did not mention the price of these pets. I'm not sure how much I should sell them for."
Hong Dali did not mention the price. Needless to say, they were going to be auctioned. Someone immediately made a bid. "I'll pay one million for that gorilla!"
Once he opened his mouth, he was instantly rebutted. "You want to buy a gorilla that offers cigarettes to customers with one million? Are you dreaming? I'll pay two million! "" I'll pay two and a half million! "" Stop talking, three million! "
Hong Weiguo, Liu Yihui, and Mu Tie looked at one another. This little prodigal Hong Dali only spent four to five million to set up this Home of Pets. Now, he was bidding three million for a gorilla?!
And this was just a gorilla. When the king of beasts, the tiger, was auctioned, the price would be …
Hong Weiguo and the other two were thinking about how much these pets could be sold for. Then, very quickly, they heard a very shocking price.
"Ten million. I'll buy that gorilla."
Ten million! Someone actually offered ten million to buy Hong Dali's highly-intelligent gorilla!
In just an instant, everyone's gaze turned towards the source of the voice. It was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked rather ordinary and refined. He wore a dark gray suit and glasses. He looked anxiously at Running Dog.
He was sitting in the outer circle, which meant his total assets were between two to ten billion.
Someone who knew him said, "Isn't that Zhang Tianming, the boss of Phaeton Industries? Why is he offering such a high price? "
This gorilla was indeed a good pet. Just by looking at its appearance and the fact that it smoked like a human, it would definitely be eye-catching if it was brought out. However, no matter how flashy it was, it couldn't be sold at a high price of 10 million. After all, even for this group of people, 10 million was definitely not a small amount.
The middle-aged man looked at Running Dog and asked anxiously, "Running Dog … Mister, can you sell this gorilla to me for ten million?"
Just by looking at his expression, everyone knew that he really wanted to buy this gorilla. Furthermore, the price of ten million was indeed very high. Naturally, everyone was too embarrassed to compete with him.
But everyone present could guess that there must be a reason why he offered such a high price. But the problem was that Running Dog was a robot and did not know much about emotions. He politely said, "I'm sorry, Sir. I'm not sure how much I can sell it for. I need to consult Young Master."
"Ah, good, good! Mr. Running Dog, please ask Hong Dali. I really want to buy this. "Zhang Tianming anxiously said," I really need it, I really need it! "
"Okay, Mister. Please wait a moment." Running Dog started contacting Hong Dali. Otherwise, why would he send Running Dog over? Hong Dali had good foresight — Running Dog was connected to the other Running Dogs on the aircraft carrier. If he wanted to contact Hong Dali, he could just choose to talk to him.
As expected, in just ten seconds, Hong Dali's voice came from the Running Dog's speaker. "Ah, who wants to buy my gorilla?"
"Is it Dali?" Zhang Tianming was very anxious. "My name is Zhang Tianming. I'm offering 10 million. I want to buy your smoking gorilla. Young Master, please sell it to me!"
"Eh? Ten million? Such a high price? "Hong Dali was surprised." Uncle Zhang, you really want that gorilla? I did put in some effort to train it, but I'm not going to sell it. I'm keeping it to play with myself. "
"Young Master Dali, it's like this." Hearing that Hong Dali didn't intend to sell it, Zhang Tianming was a little anxious. "I know that 10 million is nothing to Young Master Dali, but I hope that Young Master Dali can sell this gorilla to me no matter what. Because my Xiao Nan has severe depression. I … I want to buy this gorilla to make her happy … "
So that was the case.
This time, everyone finally understood why Zhang Tianming was so anxious to buy this gorilla.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The gorilla that Hong Dali trained was very interesting just by looking at its appearance. Just a simple action would make people want to laugh. If it was asked to accompany a child with depression, it would definitely be effective.
To be honest, any one of the members of the Chamber of Commerce here had a net worth of more than two billion. They wouldn't even bat an eyelid if they spent 10 million to treat a child's illness.
"I see." Hong Dali thought for a while, then said, "Then, I'll give this gorilla to you, Uncle Zhang. Remember to treat it well. It's very picky. It needs to drink milk every day and eat bananas. Apples, peaches, and whatnot have to be washed, cut, and stuck in toothpicks …"
Everyone stared in bewilderment.
What the heck, was he buying a pet or an ancestor to take care of? Apples and peaches weren't expensive, but they had to be washed, cut, and stuck in toothpicks?
Then, Hong Dali's next sentence caused everyone to completely break down …
Hong Dali continued. "Oh, right, I forgot to mention just now. Actually, it's fine without all that. You give it money, anyway, it will buy it itself. Once it buys it, it will be responsible for handling it …"
What the heck! A gorilla that knew how to buy fruits by itself, and it even knew how to wash, cut, and stick in toothpicks after buying it …
This was definitely a magical tool for treating depression! If that child saw a gorilla washing fruits by itself, his expression would definitely be very interesting …
Everyone in the International Convention Center was instantly shocked. "This … how is this possible? A gorilla that knows how to wash fruits before buying to eat? This is cheating! "Some even directly shouted." Young Master Dali, you aren't lying to us, right? Is this gorilla a human in disguise, how can there be such a high IQ! "" Yes, yes, we want to take a closer look! "
"You can ask Running Dog about the rest, it will decide. I'm busy here, don't call me if there's nothing. I won't pick up even if you call!" Saying so, he hung up the phone with a smack.
Everyone present was a top tycoon in Heavenly State. There weren't many people in Heavenly State who dared to hang up on them like that. But Hong Dali hung up very directly without any hesitation.
"This little rascal." Hong Weiguo looked at Liu Yihui and Mu Tie. "He still does as he pleases, hehe."
"But his heart is really not just ordinarily kind." Liu Yihui nodded. "Such a good gorilla, I want one too …"
Now, although Hong Dali didn't take any money from this magical gorilla, the problem was that the others present really wanted to learn from Zhang Tianming and tell a tragic story or something. But the problem was that they couldn't bring themselves to do so. Hence, they could only compete for the price …
"That monkey, I'll pay three million!" "I'll pay four million!" "Five million, no nonsense!"
Then, Running Dog's next sentence made everyone depressed.
Running Dog said, "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, Young Master said he doesn't want to sell these animals …"
This made everyone very annoyed.
Zhang Tianming had already brought home a very impressive gorilla, but the others didn't. The problem now wasn't that they didn't have money. To be honest, it wasn't a problem for these people to get tens of millions. The problem was that Hong Dali didn't want to sell …
Did Hong Dali lack money? He didn't seem to lack it. This was a pain in the ass — Wen Jianan was still thinking about the two tigers. The king of all beasts was so obedient, if he brought it out, how imposing would it be? Especially in recent years, he often discussed cooperation with foreign businessmen. Once he met one, he would have a tiger under his feet …
Hence, even Liu Yihui and Mu Tie were quite envious. Liu Yihui softly said, "Weiguo, why don't you take a look …"
"If Hong Dali doesn't want to sell, there's nothing I can do, right?" Hong Weiguo spread his hands. "This child doesn't lack money now. I don't even know how many assets he has. Anyway, he definitely won't care about tens of millions of yuan."
Fortunately, many of the people present were quite smart.
It was indeed not eye-catching to bid for one or two animals. But if they bid for the animals first, after everyone had bid for them, the price would be high, and they would say some nice words, Hong Dali would probably give them some face.
Hence, someone shouted, "Director Hong, Running Dog, how about this? Let's bid for the animals first. Even if Young Master Dali doesn't want to sell them now, after everyone has bid for them, we can pay a deposit first. When he wants to sell them, we can go and collect them. How about that? "
"This …" Hong Weiguo looked at everyone's expectant eyes, touched his chin, and thought for a while. Finally, he nodded. "Let's bid for them first. There's no rush. If Hong Dali wants to sell them in the future, we can just collect them directly." Selling or not, the key was that there were so many members of the Chamber of Commerce present. It wouldn't be good to offend all of them, right?
Hence, the entire International Convention Center became the venue of the auction.
Hong Dali's Pet's Home had a total of 78 types of animals. Cats and dogs made up the majority, about 200 of each type. The other zoos had slightly fewer animals, and there were only about 100 mammals with higher IQs. Hence, this temporary auction was hosted by Running Dog, and they started auctioning off the animals one by one …
Now that Hong Weiguo, the father of the Young Master, had agreed, Running Dog naturally had to agree.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, since Old Master has agreed, it's time to witness the squandering!"
