Chapter 310: Chapter 310: One Hundred Million
“50.1 million.”
“Wanze, President Bo, he…”
Luo Yuwei, having been accustod to poverty her whole life, had neither seen nor heard of such an amount of money. Seeing Bo Tingshen casually throw out astronomical figures as though it were a joke made her incredibly anxious. She carefully tugged at Jiang Wanze’s sleeve and said, “Shouldn’t you persuade him? I can also not act, the gift is too precious, I can’t accept it.”
Jiang Wanze glanced at her, his tone slightly comforting, “It’s okay.”
It wasn’t about the money at all. No matter how much it was, to his older brother, it was nothing but a trivial number. What was strange now was that his brother seed to be deliberately playing with those two n in black.
Could those two n be his brother’s business rivals?
“6…”
“Hold on!”
Ye Xian snatched the bidding paddle from Ye Shaowen’s hand, took a deep breath as if making a montous decision, and stood up with his eyes closed.
“One hundred million… no, sorry, wrong, eighty million!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the venue fell so silent that one could hear a pin drop, everyone staring at Ye Xian in disbelief: Had the kid lost his mind? Even the auctioneer was so excited that he nearly dropped his gavel.
He hadn’t heard wrong, had he? A novel that started at 1.5 million had jumped to 80 million? Was this so kind of international joke?! It was the most significant markup and the most expensive item he had ever auctioned in his career!
Jiang Wanze and Luo Yuwei also turned around, looking at Ye Xian with shock and curiosity.
Sothing about this man’s voice and figure was so familiar. Jiang Wanze’s brows furrowed slightly. It seed like… Ye Xian?! But how could that be? Not to ntion the rumors of Ye Xian having a backer were nothing but hearsay, and even if they weren’t, which backer would casually throw out eighty million for their lover? If it were for diamonds or real estate, it would be one thing, but spending eighty million on the rights to an unknown novel was no different from throwing money into the water, wasn’t it?
Eighty million! A whole eighty million!
Ye Xian had not spent so much money in both his lifetis combined; his heart ached as if he were in so kind of dream.
This ti the CEO must let go, right?
Any sane person wouldn’t spend so much money on the rights to a novel without knowing that “Conquest of the World” would beco a hit.
It was only because she knew the outco that she could offer the highest bid she could afford at eighty million, even though she knew she would later make a fortune.
Any higher and she could not take any risk in the future.
“Eighty million! The gentleman at number 23 has bid eighty million!” The auctioneer exclaid with a raised voice thick with excitent, “Is there anyone else who would like to bid? If not…”
“President?”
Pang Kai, holding the bidding paddle, looked hesitantly at Bo Tingshen.
“One hundred million.”
‘Crack…’
In the air, it seed the sound of Ye Xian’s heart breaking could be heard, along with the sound of everyone’s jaws dropping.
“One hundred million! Star Entertainnt Group has made an astronomical bid of one hundred million! Surely no one will bid higher now!”
The auctioneer’s hand, clutching the gavel, trembled, “One hundred million for the first ti, one hundred million for the second ti!”
“CEO, can’t you just be reasonable…” Oops!
Ye Xian couldn’t help but almost shout out, then quickly covered her mouth when she realized what she had done.
Bo Tingshen tightened his grip on his cup involuntarily, a savage satisfaction lurking beneath his half-lowered eyelids.
“Keep bidding!” Ye Shaowen was so angered by Bo Tingshen that he gritted his teeth audibly, taking Ye Xian’s bidding paddle to continue the auction.
“Hey, hey, hey, no, no!”
Ye Xian hurriedly intervened, “Don’t be rash, we don’t have that much money!”
