Chapter 1108: Chapter 1106: Pull Tabs of Cans Also Come to Auction

The starting bid is fifty million, and the final transaction price could very well exceed one hundred million!

This is a sky-high price never seen in the auction history over the years.

Forget one hundred million, in previous auctions, there were no auction items even exceeding ten million.

At this moment, Fang He was very excited. She never expected that Madame Daphne’s influence would be so great, with all these companies acting like they’ve been injected with chicken blood.

The gains this time are truly unexpectedly massive.

This fifty-million-dollar item is a box of top-grade spices, ambergris!

If agarwood is the queen of plant fragrances, then ambergris is the king of animal incense.

Ambergris is a gray or slightly black secretion found in whale intestines. When extracted from the animal’s body, it emits an unpleasant stink, but after drying, it turns amber-colored with a sweet and sour flavor. It doesn’t have much fragrance itself, but when burned, it exudes a musky yet more elegant scent, and the objets d’art it perfumes retain a lasting aroma, favored by ladies of high society.

“I bid one hundred million!”

This item finally caught Madame Daphne’s attention. Its rarity makes it precious, and even with money, it may not always be purchasable.

When Madame Daphne announced her price, everyone gasped. Although they predicted that the final transaction price could very likely reach one hundred million, they never expected Madame Daphne’s first bid to directly be one hundred million.

Such a damn rich endowment! This isn’t merely rich; it’s extravagantly wealthy.

Facing such a high price, the big shots who initially planned to increase it hesitated.

It’s known that ambergris is expensive, but not to such extent. Spending one hundred million is entirely extravagant, showing that Madame Daphne is wealthy and capricious!

“It’s over…” A faint hint of disappointment appeared on Lin Shiyan’s face.

It seems the opponent came better prepared than her, clearly having investigated Madame Daphne’s preferences, long knowing her fondness for incense-related items.

Even though Lin Shiyan prepared items with value that could also fetch one hundred million, they were not necessarily to Madame Daphne’s liking.

“One hundred million once, one hundred million twice, one hundred million thrice, sold!”

Everyone’s faces twitched; spending one hundred million, yet Madame Daphne remained unmoved. How damn wealthy must she be!

Perhaps, in her eyes, one hundred million is like ten dollars.

At this point, Fang He became exceedingly thrilled.

One hundred million, it’s incredibly exhilarating.

With the start of the next auction item, people’s moods gradually calmed, and they became even more expectant, wondering if the last big shot would bring any surprises.

Clearly, the items with starting prices of ten million and fifty million came from three major enterprise giants. Indeed, the host announced the donor of the charity item.

The item with a base price of ten million, transformed by Gao Fan, was donated by Qiao Corporation. Ultimately, it was also bought by Qiao’s.

Perhaps Qiao Corporation just intended to boost the price, but never expected Madame Daphne to refrain from bidding, effectively buying back her own donated item.

Truly a situation of not trying and not achieving.

But to Qiao Corporation, fifty million isn’t much.

And the ambergris bought by Madame Daphne came from Qu’s Group.

Qu Mubai cast an amusing glance at Lin Shiyan.

“This item…” When the next item was opened, the host was stunned for quite a while, unable to utter a word.

Everyone eagerly anticipated, assuming it must be a rare treasure.

“This item is… a soda can tab!” After confirming over a dozen times, the host finally spoke.

“What? A soda can tab?”

“Host, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

“Dammit, who’s the donor, trying to cause trouble?”

Once people reacted, the venue exploded with various discussions.

Using a soda can tab for auction, really? Joking, right?

Or is this soda can tab made from meteorite from outside the heavens?

But it’s clearly just an ordinary tab, as demonstrated by the projector.

“Just proceed with the next auction item.”

“Precisely, don’t waste time.”

“Host, hurry and announce which company donated this; I want to blacklist them.”

Many entrepreneurs clamored.

After all, this is a serious auction. If you don’t have valuable items, quietly participate instead of bringing a soda can tab to create a joke.

Of course, it could be an attempt to gain fame.

But what kind of fame is this; it’s clearly just trying to catch the public’s eye, and once the host announces the donor’s name, many companies might blacklist them.

“May I take a closer look at this item?” While the venue was chaotic, Madame Daphne suddenly spoke.

“Of course, Madame Daphne.” The host felt a lot of pressure.

If it weren’t for the donor’s name being sealed with tape, the host might have already announced it.

Fang He also felt embarrassed. Who on earth would bring a soda can tab as a charity item, losing face on an international level.

Hmph, once she finds out which company it is, she intends to have the Department of Commerce, Health Bureau, and all kinds of bureaus thoroughly investigate it, having made her lose face before international friends.

Madame Daphne walked to the emcee stand for a moment, then returned to her seat, saying to the host, “Continue with the auction.”

“Madame Daphne, are you sure not to skip this item?” The host asked in shock.

Madame Daphne nodded.

Since Madame Daphne insisted on continuing, the host naturally couldn’t refute her wishes and immediately tore open the first piece of tape.

This tape sealed the price.

“The price of this item is one…” Upon seeing the price, the host’s eyes once again widened like a bronze bell.

“How much? One dollar? Or ten cents?”

“Host, hurry up and tell us, don’t keep us in suspense.”

“Wasting time is wasting money.”

A burst of laughter erupted from the audience.

How much can a soda can cost? Even the most expensive canned drink is only a few bucks a can. As for a soda can tab? Gift it away, and nobody would want it. Not even the elderly collecting bottles would pick it up.

Lin Shiyan also found it amusing that someone would bring a soda can tab as an auction item.

“Wife, do you find it funny?” Wang Dadong asked the Female CEO.

Lin Shiyan shook her head. “Not funny.”

“Just think the person must be an idiot!”

Wang Dadong: “…”
