C99 An Auction with a Sky-high Price
After successfully buying the Royal Jade Hairpin, although the next few magic treasures were no lower than mid-heaven grade, Tianchen was not interested in them. Therefore, he just sat in the hall and watched the competition between the guests. The price had always been high, never lower than 500 million yuan.
Sometimes, Tianchen also thought that his father and the information in the notebook often mentioned that back in Hua Country, if one had a billion yuan worth of assets, they would be able to enter the top ten billionaires list of Hua Country. But now, when he returned to Earth more than ten years later, why didn't people take money seriously?
In fact, Tianchen also understood that the information he collected when he came back earlier said: The newly developed mineral resources that could refine super energy like Energy Crystal were more than 50% concentrated in the Hua Country, 80% concentrated in the nearby countries in the Hua Country, and less than 20% were distributed in other countries.
Today, oil was scarce and was gradually being eliminated. The number of Energy Crystal was destined to become the overall strength of a country. After Hua Country occupied so many Energy Crystal mines, In a short ten years, it easily became one of the top three economically developed countries, and its overall strength jumped to the second place in the world. He was only slightly weaker than M Nation, which had developed a new Mech weapon, but M Nation had accumulated for nearly a hundred years!
Moreover, due to the scarcity of Energy Crystal mining areas in M Nation, it was not even one percent of the known mining areas. Hence, it greatly relied on the import of Hua Country and other countries. If Hua Country did not export the Energy Crystal to M Nation, M Nation's overall strength would immediately drop below third place. However, due to certain reasons, Hua Country still exported a lot of Energy Crystal resources to M Nation.
Under such circumstances, there were more and more wealthy people in Hua Country. It was like an upstart that did not take money seriously at all.
Tianchen could only feel depressed about this. Who asked him and his father to run to another world before that era came? Now that he had returned, he had become one of the civilians. Even if he could make a lot of money by relying on some things, it would only be the same as those who had exploded. Sigh. . .
Very quickly, the auction approached the final finale before it ended.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that everyone is participating in this auction. Other than buying the treasures in this industry, most of the guests should be here for this storage bracelet. . . I'm very honored to tell everyone that this bracelet's space capacity has reached an astonishing 30 cubic meters!"
30 cubic meters. Although they all knew about the storage bracelet being auctioned, They also came for the storage bracelets, but since the auction house didn't specify, Most of the people present thought that the space capacity of ten cubic meters was not bad. If that was the case, The price was about several billion, and many of the people present had the ability to bear it. Currently, the last person on the list of the top 100 tycoons in Hua Country was worth more than 11 billion yuan (publicly). If he was ruthless enough, he could afford to pay several billion yuan.
However, when the auctioneer said that it was 30 cubic meters of space, most of the people present had no choice but to give up. Everyone knew that the 20 cubic meters storage ring that was auctioned at the Jinghua Heavenly Gate Auction House last time was sold at a sky-high price of 10 billion. Based on this, how much would a 30 cubic meter storage bracelet cost?!
"Alright, guests, let's begin the auction of this storage bracelet. . . " The auctioneer picked up the storage bracelet in front of the ceremonial lady, who had just walked up with a tray, and gave it to the people in the hall to take a closer look. Then, he put it down and said, "The base price is one billion, and each increment must be no less than ten million. The auction starts now. . . "
The following procedure was a little sloppy. As most people did not have the ability to actually bid, only some speculators bid ten million, and the bid increased by twenty million. The price of the storage bracelet also slowly rose under the increment of these speculators.
Ten minutes later, when the price of the storage bracelet was raised by eight billion, even those speculators were no longer interested in the price. If they increased the price again and were accidentally sold, they did not have more than eight billion to buy such a storage bracelet.
Tianchen understood that after this price, the truly powerful people would come and bid! Those who had the ability to bid for this storage bracelet would probably be worth more than 100 billion RMB. In China, they were definitely part of the strong faction. Compared to those who had discovered the Energy Crystal mine and obtained part of the rights to develop it, this kind of person was not a true large clan. He was either one of the most popular figures in the Hua Country's political circle.
As expected, the first person to bid after eight billion had made his move!
"Nine billion!" This was the voice from the auction item in the VIP room that Tianchen had competed against earlier. It sounded like a young man.
It was probably the second generation, right? Tianchen pondered in his heart.
"9. 5 billion. " . . .
The price continued to rise among the several VIP rooms, and soon broke through 14 billion!
Tianchen was overjoyed in his heart. Soon, he would become a billionaire. In the end, this group of people increased the price by more than 20 billion. That would be the best.
Unfortunately, Tianchen's idea was good. However, these people didn't seem to give Tianchen any face. In the end, the bid was stopped by an old voice in the VIP room. The bid stopped at 15. 5 billion. This was probably the psychological price of these people from the upper class.
Tianchen did not regret it. In any case, he only spent tens of thousands of gold coins to buy the space bracelet in Caah. Even if it was converted into RMB, it would at most be a few million. In an instant, it was exchanged for more than 15 billion RMB. Such a price was absolutely sky-high. If he was any more greedy, even Heavenly Dawn would suspect that the heavens did not like him. Was there some sort of divine retribution or something?
After obtaining the exact number, Tianchen once again went to Old Zhou's place. Excluding the 5% commission from the auction and the 1% confidentiality fee, Tianchen received over 14. 5 billion in funds. After that, he spent another 1. 5 billion to exchange for the palace jade hairpin of the beautiful crystal coffin he bought. Finally, Tianchen left with over 13 billion in funds and the palace jade hairpin in satisfaction.
When he left, Tianchen was very surprised to see the etiquette beauty with the surname Lu who received him that day from afar. However, she was not wearing a uniform. She was dressed in fashionable clothing and was chatting with a few old men. Tianchen did not plan to go up and greet her, so he walked straight to the door.
However, Tianchen realized that when he was about to walk out of the door, the beauty with the surname Lu seemed to have noticed him and even smiled strangely at him.
Tianchen shook his head. There had been too many things happening recently, and his mind was a little slow. Was he seeing things?
