Chapter 53: The Heroines Go Mad! Jiang Yifeng Is About to Cry! The Fortune Items Are Frenziedly Snatched Up!
“The fifth bidder, Mr. Jiang Yifeng, offers… 1.2 billion.” Xue Xue calmly announced Jiang Yifeng’s bid.
In the past, for a piece of agarwood log with a base value around 50 million, even if auctioned, it might at most fetch around 200 million. To hear a bid of 1.2 billion before would have shocked Xue Xue, maybe even made her suspect soone was there to cause trouble.
But now, her first reaction was actually, “Isn’t this offer too low?”
This thought startled her, and she quickly adjusted herself. As the host and auctioneer, she had to remain impartial and fair, without a trace of emotion.
Among the crowd, when Jiang Yifeng’s bid was announced, four or five scoffs rang out, not intentionally, but because the price seed hopeless.
Compared with bids like Zhao Dongyun’s 2.1 billion, Bai Ze’s 2.5 billion, and ng Youqian’s 3.2 billion, Jiang Yifeng’s 1.2 billion appeared modest, like a small shrimp entering a big pond…
Among those scoffing, Shang Chan, Zhao ngng, and Bai Bing’er were genuine. All three won thought the sa thing: We thought Jiang Yifeng, feared by Lin Tian, would be formidable. But a re 1.2 billion?
Before Jiang Yifeng’s bid was revealed, these heroines, who had eavesdropped on his thoughts, were nervous because they knew this fortune originally belonged to Jiang Yifeng. Although they intervened and offered a price 40 to 50 tis above the base value, who knows if Jiang Yifeng might get so mysterious premonition and raise his bid?
Though Fengchen Group wasn’t as prominent as the Zhao and Bai families, for such an item, it was still large. After all, it was a company comparable to Seahold and Ice Eye Groups. Jiang Yifeng could easily pull tens of billions in liquidity if he wanted.
But when they heard Jiang Yifeng’s bid, the heroines all relaxed. At 1.2 billion, Jiang Yifeng was effectively out of the running for this agarwood log!
Shang Chan, Zhao ngng, and Bai Bing’er all showed relieved expressions, looking at Jiang Yifeng with disdain. He was so ambitious to have designs on all six stunning won present, yet he only bid 1.2 billion for his own fortune?
If Jiang Yifeng knew their thoughts, he’d probably be furious! Was his bid low? Not at all! Though 1.2 billion seed small compared to 2.1, 2.5, and 3.2 billion, it was worth six or seven luxury houses like Tangchen Yipin! And for this agarwood log itself, it was over 20 tis its base value!
Jiang Yifeng never imagined such an unremarkable agarwood log could attract so many bids. But the bidders were anything but normal!
Zhao Dongyun and Bai Ze spent recklessly for their daughters’ sake. ng Youqian was the sa, spending freely to support his daughter. The three old fathers battled fiercely, crushing Jiang Yifeng’s bid… How could Jiang Yifeng even argue?
Upon his bid being announced, Jiang Yifeng’s expression turned completely dark. To be fair, 1.2 billion was a significant amount in a normal auction. But now? Against 2.1, 2.5, and 3.2 billion? His bid seed like a joke!
Jiang Yifeng felt suffocated with frustration. He glanced coldly at Shang Chan, Zhao ngng, and the others looking at him with contempt, a faint chill on his lips.
You all think I won’t get this agarwood log, right? But I’m here to tell you, money isn’t the only way to win!
At that mont, his phone vibrated gently. His expression relaxed. Help had arrived. From now on, it was all just a show. Jiang Yifeng was sure that the treasures he wanted would end up in his study.
Behind Zhao Dongyun, Lin Tian was unremarkable, like a nobody. In a transaction worth tens of billions, he was barely noticed.
When Xue Xue announced Jiang Yifeng’s bid, Lin Tian muttered to himself. Originally, Jiang Yifeng had secured the agarwood log at 800 million, but now, sensing the auction’s tension, he raised it to 1.2 billion, and it was still useless…
Lin Tian didn’t know what plot change had occurred. In the original story, Zhao Dongyun never ca; Bai Ze and Jiang Yifeng were on the sa side, and ng Youqian barely appeared.
Now, thanks to the heroines Shang Chan, Zhao ngng and Bai Bing’er, their doting fathers threw money madly to win this agarwood log, pushing the price to 3.2 billion, making Jiang Yifeng’s 1.2 billion worthless.
[Looks like Jiang Yifeng is totally losing this agarwood log? This auction was supposedly held for Jiang Yifeng’s benefit… How did he lose his chance?]
Lin Tian’s thoughts were overheard by the other heroines.
Shang Chan smiled sweetly, unknowingly charming, unlike her usual cold businesswoman deanor.
Of course it’s because of you… She thought, but didn’t want to reveal the truth to Lin Tian. Her knowledge of Lin Tian’s thoughts would remain her secret, even if things changed later.
Zhao ngng narrowed her eyes mischievously, sharing Shang Chan’s thoughts. But neither knew that they both secretly told Zhao Dongyun they liked the agarwood log. Thus, the cunning Zhao Dongyun spent 2.1 billion to secure it. So, in their minds, Zhao Dongyun’s bid was because of them. In fact… it was their combined effort.
Nearby, Bai Bing’er smiled lazily with interest. She found this “I can hear your thoughts but won’t tell you, instead using your own revealed thoughts to change my behavior and confuse you” ga very entertaining! She even looked forward to what else she might learn from Lin Tian’s thoughts.
Maybe if there’s a chance, should I talk to him alone?
Seeing Lin Tian’s confused but relieved expression after Jiang Yifeng lost, Bai Bing’er stretched her perfect figure lightly. This insightful and cunning woman found the potential fun in that idea quite appealing.
