C239 Hot Searching for Water

This fellow must have done it on purpose! The more Bai Chengyi thought about it, the more he felt that something was not right. Did he fall into Luo Ning's trap again? Bai Chengyi thought that this was the second time he jumped into the pit dug for him by Luo Ning.

Bai Chengyi spent nearly five hundred million just to buy a useless antique. Did it make Luo Ning uncomfortable? None at all! Luo Ning had no interest in that bronze dragon at all.

He wanted to beat Luo Ning up right now, but he couldn't. If he did something inexplicable in this kind of situation, then it would ruin the image he built up in the upper class, and that would be even worse.

Leng Xiyue smiled sweetly. She could guess what Luo Ning was thinking, but she felt that Luo Ning was too bold. He had raised the 10 million to nearly 500 million. If Bai Chengyi stopped midway, then he would have to pay for it himself.

When Bai Chengyi left his seat, he could not stay any longer. The more he thought about it, the more angry he got, and the more he thought about it, the more he lost out. At least for a short period of time, he did not want to see Luo Ning anymore.

Luo Ning smiled and successfully chased away a competitor.

After a few more auctions, the Jade Pendant finally went on stage. The Jade Pendant's name was "Phoenix's Cry".

The auction started. Hai Chengfaang raised the sign and said in a hoarse and loud voice, "300 million."

There was a loud sound and the scene was silent. Nobody dared to snatch something that Hai Chengfaang had his eyes on, they couldn't get it anyway.

Luo Ning frowned. He didn't expect the starting price to be three hundred million, ten times the starting price. It was indeed very rich.

After Luo Ning inherited the New Century, he didn't know how much the New Century was worth and quickly sent a message to Nie Zhenwei.

Nie Zhenwei looked at the message and replied with a "3" starting five digits …

On Luo Ning's side, when he raised the plate, even the beauties on the stage were surprised. There was actually someone here who dared to compete with Hai Chengfaang?

The auction was held every year and Hai Chengfaang would appear every year. With Hai Chengfaang's status and personality in the antique industry, no one would fight with him for the antiques he wanted.

Everyone's gaze followed the hand of the beauty on the stage and gathered over. Wasn't the one raising the sign Luo Ning, who had recently stood at the center of attention?

Hai Chengfaang looked at Luo Ning and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. Then, his mouth twitched as he muttered, "Interesting."

Hai Chengfaang was a bit excited because it had been a long time since someone had competed with him. Other than buying what he wanted, the auction was also a process that Hai Chengfaang enjoyed.

When Luo Ning saw Nie Zhenwei's message, he thought he had read it wrongly. He frowned and stared at the screen, "One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand..."

There was a conspicuous Chinese character behind the five digits. Billions!

In other words, Luo Ning could use more than 3 trillion now, and these 3 trillion were either assets under New Century or simply money. Luo Ning took a deep breath, this was too big of an impact, Luo Ning needed to take a breather.

How did he become a billionaire all of a sudden!

At this moment, Hai Chengfaang raised his hand, opened his palm, held up five fingers and proudly said: "500 million."

When everyone saw Luo Ning's strange reaction, they thought that he was scared by Hai Chengfaang's five hundred million.

Seeing this, Hai Jiaxin said arrogantly and contemptuously: "Tsk, 500 million is already so scary, you dare to come and bid with our family. You really overestimate yourself."

"Ning, are you alright?" Leng Xiyue didn't think that Luo Ning was scared by the 500 million. When he was playing with Bai Chengyi just now, he could play with 480 million, so the 500 million was not a big deal in his eyes.

"500 million going once … 500 million going twice …"

A lot of people laughed and shook their heads. They thought to themselves, Luo Ning really doesn't know his place. He actually wants to compete with Hai Chengfaang.

Unexpectedly, Luo Ning was only scared by his trillionth wealth. He was a trillionth rich man! Right, not trillions, but trillions.

After the countdown began, Luo Ning suddenly came back to his senses. He raised the sign and calmly said, "One billion."

"Hiss …"

The venue was in an uproar. Bai Chengyi, who came out with a wooden box, nearly fell to the ground when he heard Luo Ning say "One billion".1

Bai Chengyi thought for a long time and thought that Luo Ning really didn't have any money, which was why he came up with such a reason. Luckily, he still managed to save face in front of Leng Xiyue.

Bai Chengyi clenched his fists tightly. He glared at Luo Ning with bloodshot eyes. He really wanted to slap Luo Ning to death.

Hai Chengfaang frowned and the wrinkles on his forehead bunched together, making him look very serious. One billion? That's something to be reckoned with.

Hai Chengfaang still had the ability to increase the price, but Luo Ning's change in price had raised it by two times. Hai Chengfaang could tell that Luo Ning really wanted the Jade Pendant.

Hai Chengfaang planned to buy the Jade Pendant from the beginning with three hundred million. The starting price of the Jade Pendant was thirty million, but he raised it ten times more.

Right now, 1 billion was already three times more than Hai Chengfaang's budget of 300 million. If he were to go higher, Luo Ning would not let him go. No matter what, it would be a loss.

Hai Chengfaang was silent. He was a collector and a businessman, especially now that New Century was at the forefront of the market, Hai Chengfaang had to hold back. If he fought with Luo Ning to the end, even Luo Ning's one billion was so light, then wouldn't that cost tens of billions? He couldn't bear it.

Just as Leng Xiyue predicted, Luo Ning finally won Phoenix's Cry with 1 billion.

Hai Jiaxin leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms beneath her plump breasts. "Grandfather! We gave it to him just like that? "

Hai Chengfaang did not want to either, but after careful consideration, he realized that he could not snatch it away. Hai Chengfaang was thinking about Luo Ning's intention in doing so, was it intentional, or was it just purely because he liked the Jade Pendant.

Hai Chengfaang carefully thought about it, although Hai Family's business was in conflict with Luo Family's business, which was a clash between tradition and technology, the two families had never become enemies, nor had they even had any normal interactions.

Luo Ning could be said to be astounding. The one billion yuan investment had made Luo Ning search again. Some of them were asking why Luo Ning didn't snatch the money from Bai Chengyi even though he could afford one billion yuan.

If they knew the real reason, they would definitely understand Bai Chengyi's current grievance, depression and anger.

Bai Chengyi looked at the glowing green bronze dragon. He wanted to throw it away, but he couldn't bear to buy it with 480 million.

The internet was in an uproar. The vast majority of them were people who didn't understand the antiques industry.

"One billion?" I really don't know much about the world of the rich, why would a billion yuan be hard to buy? "

"Is there anyone who dares to say that there's no money in New Century now …"

"I found something horrifying. The top three of the search results were all from Luo Ning. This search was like drinking water. Isn't he going crazy?"
