Chapter 979 - 978: 1 Billion in Pocket Money

Chapter 979: Chapter 978: 1 Billion in Pocket Money

Starting price of one billion!

When this bid was announced, it genuinely stunned everyone.

A rough jadeite with a starting price of one billion, can only be described as sky-high.

But after glancing over the quality of the rough stone, many still placed their bids.

To most people, this rough stone was worth the price!

"I bid one hundred and ten million!" someone shouted.

Tang Jun hesitated. He wanted to call a bid, but he only brought eighty million. At the moment, he couldn’t help but look towards Gu Lingfei, saying,

"Ling Fei, can your family lend me some money?"

Gu Lingfei nodded, "No problem, how much do you need?"

The Gu family’s financial strength was much greater than the Tang’s, especially since Gu Lingfei herself had access to assets up to one hundred and ten million a year.

Now, hearing her cousin Tang Jun wanted to borrow money, she agreed without a second thought.

Tang Jun thought for a moment and said, "Lend me fifty million!"

"Okay," Gu Lingfei agreed.

After borrowing fifty million from Gu Lingfei, and together with his own eighty million, that gave him one hundred and twenty million.

He could call a bid now!

"One hundred and twenty million!"

Hearing Tang Jun’s bid, a burst of laughter erupted from Huang Jie’s side.

"Tang Jun, raising the bid by one million at a time, you’re too stingy!"

Having said that, Huang Jie raised his voice, "One hundred and ten million!"

"Hahaha, Huang Shao is indeed generous." At the moment, a group of people were flattering Huang Jie.

And Tang Jun’s face turned red with embarrassment, feeling insulted by Huang Jie.

"One hundred and twenty million!" Tang Jun raised the bid.

This time, he followed Huang Jie’s approach and increased by ten million at once.

"Heh, stinginess is stinginess. One hundred fifty million!" Huang Jie waved his hand grandly, raising by thirty million directly.

Tang Jun’s face turned an iron blue, completely out of money.

The total assets he could control were only one hundred and twenty million.

If he wanted to continue raising the bid, he would have to borrow again.

Gu Lingfei said, "Cousin, I can still lend you fifty million. Keep raising the bid, don’t lose to him!"

"Hmm." Tang Jun nodded and called out the highest price he could offer, "One hundred eighty million!"

"Two hundred million!" Huang Jie was determined to compete with Tang Jun. As soon as Tang Jun spoke, he immediately offered a higher price.

Of course, Huang Jie was not foolish.

From a professional perspective, he estimated that the top-grade jade was worth at least five hundred million.

So, he felt that as long as he could secure it for under five hundred million, he would not be at a loss.

And his father had given him the disposal of assets up to one billion.

"Tang Jun, do you really think you are my match?" Huang Jie taunted him blatantly.

"You’re making me so angry!" Tang Han’s little tiger teeth clenched tightly in frustration.

Tang Jun was angry too, but also frustrated.

Because he couldn’t make a higher offer anymore!

He was out of money.

And just at that moment, a voice rang out:

"Bidding by tens of millions, what’s that about? I offer three hundred million!"

The voice belonged to Lin Dong.

He directly raised the price of the rough stone by one billion.

And with those words, the entire room was in an uproar!

"Who is this kid? Does he have that much capital?"

"Shouting three hundred million without even a blink!"

"..."

Seeing Lin Dong’s offer, Tang Jun, Tang Han, and the others were shocked. Tang Jun couldn’t help asking:

"Divine Doctor Lin, do you also think this rough stone is worth a lot?"

Lin Dong shook his head. "No, this rough stone, as I see it, just has some surface jade, worth at most twenty million!"

Tang Jun: "..."

Everyone: "..."

They were all dumbfounded.

"It’s only worth twenty million, and you’re bidding three hundred million?"

"Are you causing trouble here?"

Huang Jie also thought so and furiously said, "You country bumpkin, do you think you can just call out any price you want at an auction?"

"You shouted three hundred million, so you must at least show cash flow of three hundred million. Otherwise, how do we know if you have the strength to pay?"

Lin Dong directly threw out a card, "There’s a bit of pocket money in this card. I’m not sure exactly how much, but it should be more than three hundred million!"

This card was not a World Bank Supreme Gold Card.

It was a card Lin Dong usually used for spending.

Previously, he had deposited one billion in it, considering it his pocket money for daily expenses.

Of course, it didn’t have one billion in it now, since Lin Dong had spent part of it.

At the moment he took out this card, professional staff at the auction immediately conducted a balance verification on it.

They checked the balance.

The person nodded at Huang Jie and said, "Mr. Huang, this card contains nearly nine hundred and eighty million!"

Wow!

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback once more.

The way everyone looked at Lin Dong was filled with shock again.

Although all present were tycoons with assets of over a hundred million, over a billion, and even over ten billion, having so many assets didn’t mean they could produce that much cash flow.

Few people at the event could casually produce nearly a billion in cash flow, like Lin Dong did.

And according to what Lin Dong said, this was just his pocket money.

Huang Jie began to take Lin Dong seriously for the first time.

As for Yang Meng, she was simply stupefied.

She finally understood why Mr. He Sihai had offered him a one hundred million, and he refused it.

She had previously thought Lin Dong was just feigning nobility.

Now, it seemed not the case at all.

It wasn’t about him feigning nobility; he simply didn’t care.

If one could carelessly throw around tens of billions as pocket money, would they care about Mr. He Sihai’s one hundred million reward?

At that moment, Lin Dong looked at Huang Jie, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Now, do I qualify to make a bid?"

Huang Jie gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

"Then will you follow? Do you dare to follow?" Lin Dong spread his hands and asked.

"What am I afraid of? You only have a cash flow of ten billion, right?"

Having said this, he immediately offered what he thought was the ultimate bid.

"Eight hundred million!"

"What’s the point in raising the bid by one hundred million each time? I’ll directly raise it by five hundred million!"

Huang Jie wasn’t foolish. In his view, the rough jadeite was worth about that much. If Lin Dong genuinely bid one billion, then he didn’t mind letting him have it.

By taunting Lin Dong in this way, he also wanted Lin Dong to increase his bid by an even larger amount.

For instance, if Lin Dong raised another five hundred million in the next round, that would be one point three billion.

Even though the rough jadeite was of top-grade quality, buying it for one point three billion would definitely make him a fool.

He was quite eager to see Lin Dong become that fool!

But——

After he had bid eight hundred million, Lin Dong simply spread his hands and said:

"Since you want it so much, I’ll let you have it."

Huang Jie: ???

"You’re not following?"

"Why should I? Like I said, I think this rough jadeite is worth around twenty million to me. I might have more money than I could ever spend, but I don’t want to be the fool here."

"And since you want to be that fool, then go for it!!"

Hearing this, Huang Jie felt like he was about to spew blood.

But once a bid is made, there’s no going back.

"Mr. Huang Jie bids eight hundred million. Does anyone else wish to bid?" the host on the Auction Chairman Stand loudly inquired.

Even if countless people wanted the top-grade rough jadeite, at that price, no one could afford it.

Thus, not a single person placed a bid.

"Clang!"

Finally, the host struck the gavel, making the final decision.

And the last highlight rough jadeite was bought by Huang Jie for the price of eight hundred million.
