There's a saying that goes, the poor play with cars, the rich play with watches!
Many wealthy individuals enjoy collecting all kinds of limited edition watches, as these items are even more of a status symbol than cars!
Back in the day, if you didn't have a vast fortune, you couldn't afford to play with these things!
With the appearance of this Vacheron Constantin necklace-style watch, the room was still buzzing, with many female tycoons eyeing it, as well as quite a few male tycoons intending to bid on it for their lovers, or their mistresses of various numbers, hoping to unlock more possibilities!
Of course, when Bai Weiwei saw this diamond watch, her beautiful eyes sparkled with a dazzling brilliance!
"Ten million!"
Soone imdiately upped the bid by three million!
For this watch, its significance is incredibly valuable, ten million isn't exactly a steep price!
"Eleven million!"
"I'll offer twelve million!"
"For such a precious diamond watch, you actually only increase by a million, it's a disgrace to the Vacheron Constantin brand. How do you even have the nerve to co to this auction? Hmph, I'll offer fifteen million!"
A wealthy mogul arrogantly boasted!
"I don't know which ant dares to look down on everyone here, damn it, three million and you call that money? I'll offer twenty million!"
Another wealthy mogul audaciously shouted!
The female auctioneer showed an astonished expression. Originally, she thought this diamond watch might fetch up to fifteen million, but it unexpectedly skyrocketed to twenty million, which made her ecstatic.
"Any more? Anyone willing to offer a higher price? This is a globally limited edition Vacheron Constantin, embedded with eighteen diamonds!"
The female auctioneer once again enticed the many wealthy individuals present!
"Twenty-one million…"
At this mont, Bai Weiwei, next to Lin Fan, suddenly spoke.
However, her voice was clearly trembling a bit, indicating she wasn't confident in the price she offered!
Sure enough, Bai Weiwei's price was quickly overshadowed, and now the price had risen to twenty-three million!
Bai Weiwei bit her lip, losing the confidence to offer a higher price!
Lin Fan smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"
"I've always liked the Vacheron Constantin brand, but… the price is too high, and I still need to save money to bid on the sheepskin scroll!" Bai Weiwei hadn't forgotten why she ca to this auction in the first place.
"Hehe!"
Lin Fan chuckled softly, not responding to Bai Weiwei, but shouted out of the window, "Thirty million, I've got to have this diamond watch!"
Hiss, hiss, hiss~
With those words, everyone in the room took a deep breath. It had to be said, this price far exceeded the actual value of the diamond watch, but if Lin Fan thought it was worth it, then it was worth it!
Thirty million US Dollars, for him, in the Dark Realm, is nothing more than completing a small task. Large tasks for Lin Fan are calculated in billions!
There was even soone who once posted a bounty of one billion US Dollars for Lin Fan's head, though that person ended up dead, it showed how in the Dark Realm, money is no different from dirt. People in the Dark Realm spend money as if it were nothing, which is why many top assassins completing billion-dollar tasks have no savings!
"Why are you buying it?" Bai Weiwei frowned at Lin Fan.
"Since you like it, consider it a gift from !" Lin Fan said with a gentle smile.
With those words, Bai Weiwei felt a warmth flowing through her heart, filling her whole body with a warm sensation, like basking in the sunlight!
This guy… who would've thought he had such a kind heart!
"But… but, if we spend too much money, what about bidding on the sheepskin scroll later?" Bai Weiwei asked in confusion.
"Don't worry about , I have my own ways!" Lin Fan replied with a light smile.
Bai Weiwei furrowed her Willow Eyebrow, her face full of puzzlent, unsure what Lin Fan's so-called ways were!
Subsequently, no one offered a price higher than Lin Fan, and the female auctioneer declared that the diamond watch belonged to Lin Fan!
The auction continued, and Lin Fan purchased so other items, planning to give them to the won around him. So far, he had spent over eighty million, showing that if you don't have tens or hundreds of billions in wealth, you really can't buy anything at an auction!
As ti ticked away, the real highlight finally arrived!
The female auctioneer smiled as she looked at everyone in the room and said, "Our auction is nearing the end. Once again, I, on behalf of the auction, warmly welco all esteed guests. I believe the reason why you're all truly here is for the mysterious 'Sheepskin Scroll'!"
Silence!
As soon as the female auctioneer spoke, a deathly silence fell over the room, many people didn't even dare to breathe, fearing they would disturb soone else's thoughts!
The female auctioneer continued with a smile, "The 'Sheepskin Scroll' cos from a mysterious origin. It was brought to light in an ancient tomb in the Northeast not long ago, and soone has entrusted us to auction it. I think there's no need for
to explain its value, as everyone here probably knows more about the 'Sheepskin Scroll' than I do!"
"Next, let's have our staff bring up the 'Sheepskin Scroll'!"
With the female auctioneer's words, two staff mbers cautiously pushed a small cart onto the stage, with a tray on top, which contained the much-anticipated 'Sheepskin Scroll'!
Confronted with this valuable treasure, even the female auctioneer had to be careful, only daring to pinch a corner of the Sheepskin Scroll, seemingly worried about damaging the entire treasure!
The "Sheepskin Scroll" is made of sheepskin, and no one knows what techniques were used, or how long it has been stored. Although it looks very ancient, with the rciless marks of ti, it's as if you can sll a sense of the past, yet the drawings on it are still clearly visible.
Everyone's eyes were glued to the Sheepskin Scroll, with even Lin Fan's gaze gleaming with an amazing brilliance!
The item he had long awaited finally arrived!
The female auctioneer smiled and said, "I think everyone is already impatient, so, I won't say any more nonsense. The starting price for this item is one billion US Dollars, with each bid increase not less than twenty million US Dollars. I announce, the finale item of this auction is now open for bidding!"
However, as the female auctioneer spoke, no one in the audience imdiately raised the bid, but instead, a murmur of whispering spread, as if calculating the funds they had at hand!
After hearing the female auctioneer's words, Bai Weiwei's expression also changed, and she said, "How can it be so expensive? I only have tens of millions in Huaxia currency, not even enough for the starting bid. Lin Fan, what should we do now?"
