C880 High-end
In order to make the competition this time even more intense and exciting, the Jiang Family had assigned a number to the twenty ores. Every four ores were in a group, and those who wished to participate in the auction would first have to submit a letter of intent and a deposit, and after a thorough examination, those who thought that they could afford it would be invited to join the group.
The rest of the people who did not participate in the auction or were not qualified to participate in the auction could go for a ball outside, the Jiang Family s had already been arranged.
The piece of rock that Soong Ying chose was divided into the third group, and there were quite a number of competitors. Soon, the group was invited to the meeting room, and Soong Ying's financial resources were not considered good among the contestants, so she and Jiang Chen were squeezed to the back of the group.
The ores were auctioned off one by one, leaving only the last piece that Soong Ying had picked. Soong Ying initially wanted to participate, but she was startled when she heard that someone was raising the board. The starting price of this stone was set at 5 million!
The starting price was so high that not many people competed against each other for it. At the same time, it stimulated the competitive spirit in other people, as if they were going to buy the gem no matter what. As time passed by, the bidding price had been fixed at 98 million, almost reaching the 100 million mark.
Just when everyone thought that the auction would end here, an aged voice sounded from the 1st row. He directly called out a bid of 100 million.
This price was also the first in this year's auction for gems. The previous billion yuan stone was sold in the first half of the year, so its value stopped at 100 million.
Jiang Chen raised his head and looked carefully at the old man who called out the price. Hehe, he really is an old acquaintance, although this old man's surname isn't Jiang, but he's the brother of Jiang Wu Mu's wife, and has been the manager of Jiang Family for all these years.
In order for everyone to not see that this was a scam, Jiang Family would have to produce some good things. And the best thing in this group, and even the best thing during the entire Primordial Mining Clan, was this rock that they had picked.
No matter what, they had to pay this price for the Jiang Family, so no matter what, they couldn't let any good stuff leak out. Furthermore, this old man seemed to be very calm and collected, so it was clear that their valuations for this ore were definitely higher than 100 million.
Soong Ying had only brought a little over 1 million yuan this time, so she had already given up at the beginning. She was purely here to watch the show.
"Oh my god, only now do I know that everyone else is so rich. We are so poor to have a hundred million husband without saying a word!"
Hearing Soong Ying's laments, Jiang Chen smiled. He really did like opposing Jiang Family, since Jiang Family really wanted to buy back this ore, then he would snatch it for himself!
"Wife, you're underestimating yourself!" After saying that, Jiang Chen snatched the number plate from Soong Ying's hands. He raised this number plate for the first time and directly called out a bid of 100 million.
The moment she said that, Soong Ying was scared stiff. She looked at Jiang Chen in a daze, "Hubby, you …"
After the ore auction, one must immediately pay the money to pick up the goods. If one couldn't pay the full amount, they would have to pay a penalty of 10%. The money that Soong Ying brought this time wasn't even enough to pay the penalty.
Jiang Chen's lips curled up into a smile. He kissed Soong Ying's forehead and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Since you like it, I'll bid for it and give it to you ~"
Hearing this, Soong Ying became more and more curious about Jiang Chen. Who the hell was he? Why was he so rich? Is that black card inexhaustible?
The seats in this meeting room were originally arranged based on the value of their wealth, but now such a rich person suddenly appeared in the last row, causing everyone to jump in fright. They even vaguely suspected that this Jiang Chen was here to cause trouble, how could he have so much money and sit in the last row?
And with a price of 100 million, even the old man sent by Jiang Family did not dare to raise the price easily. Before he came, he had already discussed with Jiang Wu Mu that if the price exceeded 100 million, then he would not be able to continue bidding.
Seeing the calm old man give up just now, the others knew that they would sell the gem to Jiang Chen. However, just as the host was about to announce the third drop, another voice came from the front, "I bid 100 million!"
Jiang Chen didn't even need to look to know who the boss was. It was Lu Heqing.
However, if the one competing for it was Jiang Chen, then he would be the one to buy the gem away. But now, the one competing for it was Lu Heqing, that slut, and he couldn't take it anymore. Even if he had to spend more money, he would have to buy the gem back.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was about to raise his tag again, Soong Ying was so scared that she almost cried. She quickly used all her strength to press his arm down, "Hubby, hubby, wake up. It's not worth it!"
The reason why Jiang Chen kept up with the price was because he felt that this ore was not only abnormal due to his battle spirit, but also because he felt that the stone was emitting too much light, that it could be seen even on the surface, but also because the Lu Family, which had always been a sworn enemy of the Jiang Family, had come to compete, and was even willing to pay such a high price. Since Lu Heqing was ranked among the younger generation, she was definitely not a fool who knew battle spirit, and there must be some secrets hidden within this ore.
Before Jiang Chen could continue raising the price, the old man sitting in the front spoke again, "The price is so outrageously high this time. I'm not well-prepared. I hope the General Assembly can give me a few minutes to discuss it with boss."
It seemed that Jiang Family had no intentions of stopping, and still wanted to continue bidding. However, he had to ask Jiang Wu Mu if he had any intentions.
At the moment, only Jiang Chen, Zhang Shun and Lu Heqing from Jiang Family were competing. After the host asked for the opinions of the three people, Jiang Chen also agreed. He wanted to use these five minutes to investigate what the secret was.
Jiang Chen walked to the bathroom, took out his round watch, connected to the satellite signal, and got in contact with the people on the dark net. Through the sophisticated information network, he found out that the ore was not a small matter, although its value was not high, but the ore itself represented a kind of token.
Legend has it that 100 years ago, Madagascar had a mysterious family called Gutero. The Guteros were very good at hunting and fighting, and one of them, a young man, had an amazing career, becoming the head of the family at the age of 30.
This young man had a very loyal servant, and when the Gutelo family fell into a civil war and brought disaster to the Wall, this servant asked for orders to find reinforcements. Two days later, just when the patriarch thought that his life was about to end, reinforcements arrived, and the servant, who had lost his life on the road due to overwork, kept holding his breath and had to find reinforcements to save his master.0
After the clan's civil war ended, the clan leader, in order to thank this servant, sent his wife out of the city. He arranged a fief and gave her the ore as a keepsake, but the wife quickly disappeared without a trace.
