My Son-in-law Is A War God
Chapter 854 - 855: Auctions are so Exciting

Chapter 854: Chapter 855: Auctions are so Exciting

In the auction hall, Li Biao was personally in charge of this auction.

He did not want any problems to occur.

For the future of the Li family in Xiongcheng, he had to dedicate himself fully to ensuring the success of this event.

"Master Biao, there shouldn’t be any problems, right? After all, the bid from the March Group is just a formality,"

a subordinate asked at his side.

"You know nothing; the more critical the moment, the more cautious we must be. Who knows if something unexpected will happen?

We can only rest easy once it’s successful; until then, no one should let their guard down,"

Li Biao responded coldly.

If this were successful, their Li family in Xiongcheng, backed by the March Group under the jurisdiction of Zhili Prefecture, would not only have a promising future but also a chance for revenge.

His brothers, Li Long and Li Kun, had both died in Blue Sea.

Of course, he wanted revenge, but now, he could no longer provoke Blue Sea on his own.

Blue Sea had experts.

But with the support of the March Group, it would be different.

"Is the media at the scene all set up? We need this to be flawless, reporting only what they should, just letting society know that the March Group acquired the antiques through a legitimate auction, not through smuggling or private transactions,"

Li Biao asked his subordinate.

"Master Biao, rest assured, everything is arranged. After the auction, we will conduct a private transaction with the March Group, giving them these items for free.

Thus, it doesn’t matter how much they bid at the auction,"

the subordinate replied.

"That’s good,"

Li Biao said.

"Should we warn those guys not to compete with the March Group?"

the subordinate asked.

"Fool, that would only cause unnecessary complications. Winning in the competition with them makes it appear all the more upright.

It’s not that these items can’t stay in Dragon Country; it’s that no one in Dragon Country can afford them,"

Li Biao said with a cold laugh.

"Master Biao is brilliant, just letting the March Group take those antiques without spending a penny, and then they conspicuously donate most of the items to Dragon Country.

This way, their reputation will be quickly restored.

But we don’t get any benefits from this,"

the subordinate still seemed puzzled.

"You know nothing; making the March Group happy is our biggest benefit,"

Li Biao said, "Alright, go and make the arrangements. Have Li Shengrong and his team patrol the auction hall. We absolutely cannot allow any disturbances.

I’ll go rest in the back, call me immediately if anything happens."

After all, Li Biao was getting older, and entrusting this matter to his son, Li Shengrong was enough; he should go and rest.

Soon, the auction began.

"This auction is a private one. The deceased had instructed that these items should not be separated.

Therefore, all seventy-two items will be sold at the same time.

The starting price is 500 million RMB, with no upper limit. The highest bidder wins, and each increment must be no less than ten million.

So, let’s begin now!"

Such a method of auctioning was not unprecedented but was extremely rare.

Frankly, it was just to facilitate the March Group’s actions.

After all, the amount they bid did not matter.

Just raising the price was enough.

This really wasn’t an issue.

"It’s over!"

Down in the audience, Ilana was frustrated; she had brought her own private money to participate in the auction, totaling only one hundred million, and this method of auction directly blocked her.

Not just her, many people in the audience sighed in dismay.

Seeing this scene, Li Shengrong secretly smirked.

There weren’t many who could afford to bid over five hundred million.

"Don’t worry, if you don’t have enough money, I’ll bid!"

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"You really dare to boast. How much pocket money did Jiang Meng give you that you dare say such big words?"

Ilana said with a wry smile.

"It should be quite a bit, actually, I haven’t checked, but it should be over ten billion,"

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Well, that might work, but you, as a son-in-law, are living too comfortably, aren’t you? Ten billion for personal spending!"

Ilana was incredibly envious.

"Can’t help it, my wife loves me."

Xiao Chen said with a smug smile.

The pocket money Jiang Meng gave him really totaled about ten billion, but with that amount, he still couldn’t make the purchase. Ultimately, it depended on him spending his own money.

"The auction begins! Please place your bids!"

"I bid six billion!"

This was a serious player from the Capital City, who directly called out a bid of six billion.

"Six billion one hundred million!"

"Petty, I bid seven billion!"

This time, there were many bosses from both the Southern Region and the northern regions, many of whom had even flown in, all aiming to win the items.

The competition was extremely fierce.

Within moments, the price had escalated to ten billion.

At this point, the competition finally began to slow down.

Every increase in bid was carefully considered for a long time.

And less and less people were bidding, and the increments were not as big anymore.

After much effort, the bid had only increased to eleven billion!

"Our March Group bids twelve billion!"

Zheng Chong from the March Group felt it was about the right time and made the bid.

Zheng Chong was Pei Yan’s former assistant. After Pei Yan ran away, it was up to him to handle these matters.

After all, the March Group was a South Korean enterprise; they still needed Dragon Country People in Dragon Country, or many things could have been difficult.

"Ah, can’t help it, the March Group is really loaded. Can’t compete with them!"

"Twelve billion for this bid seems a bit too much!"

"My available funds are just ten billion, darn it. This time was too rushed, otherwise, I would definitely put together more money."

Everyone felt quite helpless.

"Twelve billion for the first time!"

The auctioneer started the countdown.

Ilana glanced at Xiao Chen and said, "No chance now, I thought with your ten billion you might compete a bit, but look, it skyrocketed to twelve billion in no time. Just give up!"

Xiao Chen smiled and said nothing.

The auctioneer started the second countdown, "Twelve billion, twice!"

Zheng Chong smiled.

Today’s task was successfully accomplished.

Li Shengrong also smiled, everything was going smoothly, and there should be no problems now.

However, just as the auctioneer was preparing to count for the third time,

a voice rang out.

"Twenty billion!"

In that instant, the entire room went dead silent.

Everyone was stunned.

Li Shengrong was furious.

Zheng Chong stood up angrily, "Which jerk dares to bid recklessly!"

Even though they could bid whatever they wanted today and not need to pay in the end, things should still appear legitimate. Too high a price would be too fake.

Having no competitors would have been the best.

But now, the victory they had almost secured flew away.

The success that was almost in hand vanished.

"You’re crazy!"

Ilana stood up too, looking at Xiao Chen in shock, "Twenty billion, where do you find so much money, from Jiang Meng again?"

She was speechless.

Xiao Chen really dared to do anything.

Li Shengrong and Zheng Chong both did not recognize Xiao Chen.

"What thing you are, daring to compete with us, looking for death?"

Zheng Chong cursed instinctively, completely forgetting there were plenty of media present.

"This is funny. At an auction, everyone can bid, can’t they? Or did you guys from the March Group already fix these items backstage?"

Xiao Chen retorted sarcastically.
