Wu Qianxi touched his chin, smiled at the two people on the left and right balconies,
"Gentlemen, I didn't expect us to be so in sync."
Chu Shaofan was so disgusted he got goosebumps. He said coldly,
"What synchronization are you talking about, Wu Qianxi? This is your own company's item, are you bidding on it too? Aren't you afraid people will gossip and slander your Millennium Jewelry?"
Wu Qianxi smiled and said,
"Young Master Chu, that's not quite right. I'm sitting here as a private VIP. The money I use to bid comes from my own pocket, so what does it have to do with Millennium Jewelry?" As she spoke, Wu Qianxi narrowed her eyes like an old fox,
"And publicly speaking, even if I pocket this sarira myself, what's the big deal? Millennium Jewelry is everywhere across the country. My Millennium Jewelry holds sixty percent of the national jewelry business. Who can slander it? Wouldn't you agree, Brother Mo."
Wu Qianxi finished speaking and looked at Mo Jin on the other side with a smile.
Mo Jin shrugged and said with a laugh,
"I was just shouting for fun, to help you guys drive up the price. Don't look at me, I'm not that interested in this thing anyway."
Hearing Mo Jin give up, Chu Shaofan also breathed a sigh of relief.
This guy was a major competitor. Chu Shaofan had initially feared he would oppose him, but it turned out he wasn't interested in the sarira.
This made Chu Shaofan feel greatly relieved.
Now, the only one on the scene who could compete with Chu Shaofan was Wu Qianxi.
But Chu Shaofan didn't take her seriously at all.
There were many auction houses in the Dragon Country. It was generally not a good look for someone to bid on their own company's items. If word got out, it would damage his reputation for embezzlement.
Even if one wanted to embezzle, it would be done secretly by the auction house before the auction, or by an outside party to help bid.
And this sarira had already been put up for auction. Chu Shaofan didn't believe Wu Qianxi dared to compete with him.
Moreover, no one present would dare to offend Chu Shaofan.
This greatly boosted Chu Shaofan's confidence.
It was just a matter of spending a little more money. For Chu Shaofan, money was just a string of numbers; whether there was an extra zero or not made no difference.
"Thirty million!" Chu Shaofan declared and raised his bid again with great conviction.
Mo Qianxi also raised her paddle at a leisurely pace,
"Thirty-one million."
"Forty million!"
...
The two were almost in direct confrontation.
The price of this sarira quickly reached one hundred million.
The crowd watched the battle between the two with awe.
Although Wu Qianxi was not from a prominent family, her Millennium Jewelry was the leader of the national jewelry industry and had even expanded overseas.
Jewelry was inherently a lucrative business.
The foundation laid by Wu Qianxi's father and herself over two generations was quite solid.
Therefore, Millennium Jewelry, in terms of influence and economy, was not much weaker than the established families in the capital.
"It's already one hundred million, Young Master Chu. While one hundred million isn't a huge sum, it's not just a few thousand yuan. You could get foot massages for over ten years with that."
Hearing this, Chu Shaofan glared at Wu Qianxi with a venomous look.
If looks could kill, Chu Shaofan would have already dismembered Wu Qianxi.
Now, with no one else daring to oppose him, if he hadn't bid further, he probably could have acquired it for thirty or forty million. Now it had reached one hundred million.
Although it wasn't much for Chu Shaofan, someone opposing him was intolerable.
"Bid another fifty million!" Chu Shaofan gritted his teeth and roared,
"One hundred and fifty million! Let's see if you can still bid! Two hundred million, three hundred million, I can afford it all!"
He had increased the bid by fifty million in one go!
The crowd was somewhat impressed by this Young Master Chu. Fifty million yuan was casually tossed out, making it seem less valuable to him than a bottle of cola.
After all, rich people usually didn't drink such carbonated beverages.
