Chapter 776: Seven hundred seventy-one crazy price increases

This guy has been cursing Gu Chen for not just once or twice.

So at this point, everyone was a little dissatisfied with him.

Even in the underworld, there are rules that must be adhered to.

It was just like what Gu Chen had said earlier.

The person in front of them was completely the type who did not follow any rules.

Relying on the fact that he’s from the Tong Family of Yancheng, he behaved in this manner.

Everyone was very displeased, feeling that this guy was just messing around.

However, at this moment, Tong Jingxin seemed to realize that he was on the losing side.

"Fine, since you want to play, then let’s play for real, I bid 5 million!"

He seemed to have been provoked, so at that moment, he directly raised the bid by 1 million, making the price jump to 5 million.

In an instant, the entire venue was in an uproar.

A price of 5 million was unheard of since the inception of this auction.

For a small company, such a sum was already considered an unattainable goal.

Even the guests present, the available funds in their companies could rarely reach such a figure at the moment.

It was evident just how much money Tong Jingxin really had, seeing that he had so much liquidity at his disposal.

But despite the price reaching such heights, Gu Chen was not intimidated.

"5.5 million."

Nobody expected that, under such circumstances, Gu Chen would dare to add another 500,000.

It was a complete lock-in, you must understand that the starting bid for the yacht was only 500,000 to begin with.

And to spend so much money on something like this seemed a little inappropriate.

Everyone could feel that the competition wasn’t just about the yacht anymore, but rather it was between him and Tong Jingxin.

The two seemed determined to have a showdown right there, to see who would emerge as the winner or loser.

However, it was at this time that Gu Chen spoke up.

"Speed things up a bit, don’t dawdle."

At this point, Gu Chen seemed to have run out of patience.

The reason he wanted to buy this yacht was not to compete with Tong Jingxin here.

Because earlier, Gu Chen had promised Tang Tang that he would take her and her mother to the seaside afterwards.

And this yacht would just come in handy.

So that was the main reason why Gu Chen wanted to bid for the yacht.

But Tong Jingxin had no knowledge of these things.

He had completely misunderstood, seeing Gu Chen’s action as a declaration of war.

"I bid 6 million!"

He said this with a hint of pain.

When he announced that price, his face no longer showed the lighthearted expression from before, instead, there was a hint of hesitation.

It was clear to see that the price had exceeded his budget.

If things continued like this, he might not be able to hold on.

Upon hearing Tong Jingxin’s bid, Gu Chen immediately responded: "6.3 million."

At that moment, both men seemed to be at their wits’ end.

It felt as if neither dared to continue increasing the bid on a large scale.

And just like that, Tong Jingxin was given a moment of relief.

He had thought that Gu Chen was about to continue the bidding.

However, now he was completely reassured.

"6.5 million." He had added another 200,000 on top of the original amount, bringing the price to 6.5 million.

At this point, this price could already be called astronomical, and everyone felt that it was no longer possible to keep increasing it because pushing it any further would reach 7 million. By then, no matter how you looked at it, the price would be unreasonable.

So, at this moment, everyone believed this auction was likely to end.

After all, they were no fools; some might act on impulse at a net cafe, but they thought Gu Chen wouldn’t—especially since Gu Chen wasn’t from Yancheng.

"6.8 million." Yet, just like that, seemingly out of bad luck, Gu Chen raised it by another 300,000.

Suddenly, the price reached a new high, a level that everyone had doubted possible earlier.

The land left everyone momentarily bewildered.

"Isn’t it going to end? How much money does the second-largest shareholder of Maotai Corporation have?"

"Can he really afford to spend millions on a speedboat?"

"It shouldn’t be a problem, after all, you saw the chairman of Maotai Corporation came with him today. Even if he doesn’t have the money, the chairman has plenty of it and will easily help him out."

"But on the other hand, this kid is really bold when he bids. Have you noticed? He doesn’t hesitate at all each time he makes an offer, and whenever someone else bids, he seems not to think at all."

At this time, the guests around them were whispering to each other, even starting to analyze the two of them.

Everyone was analyzing here as if judging who would win or lose between the two.

However, at that moment, it seemed Tong Jingxin couldn’t stand it any longer.

"7.2 million!"

In the end, he pushed the price into the 7 million category.

Everyone shook their heads at that time.

With such a price, it was inappropriate no matter what.

If the auction continued, could it possibly reach 8 million?

Gu Chen, hearing this price, was silent for the first time, as if he had given up following.

Gu Chen’s money wasn’t unlimited, and even if he really had that much, he wanted to do something else.

Spending it on a speedboat wasn’t quite right, especially since he could order one directly from overseas.

There was really no need to struggle so much here.

"7.35 million." Gu Chen spoke up again at this time.

Though it was troublesome, it wasn’t impossible to mess with the guy just to annoy him.

So, along with the end of Gu Chen’s sentence,

everyone in the hall looked at Gu Chen as if waiting for his next words.

With such a price reached, everyone thought it was at its limit.

In this price range, it was no longer feasible to continue going higher; it was practically the end.

To go any further would be excessive.

Tong Jingxin, hearing Gu Chen’s determination to join this fray at such a time,

felt so infuriated by Gu Chen that he wished he could go up there and chop Gu Chen to pieces.

However, with the price already escalated so high, he wasn’t willing to simply give up now.

Therefore, at this point, he could only feel terribly conflicted, facing a price that had exceeded his budget, he didn’t know what to do.

Continuing the auction was also going to be draining for him.

Seeing that the kid didn’t seem inclined to raise the bid further, how could Gu Chen let him off the hook so easily?

"It looks like those from Yan City aren’t so great after all,"

he said spitefully at this very moment.
