Torre stood up suddenly and said fiercely in the direction of the girl: "Two hundred million!"
As soon as the price was announced, the whole place fell into deathly silence.
Then a loud uproar broke out.
"Fuck, 200 million? Doubled again?"
"Two hundred million, this price is almost higher than the market price, right?"
"I don't know. Even if it's not higher than the market price, it's almost on par!"
What is an auction
Auctions are about getting things at prices lower than the market price.
If Qiao Nian had not intervened, Torre would definitely have obtained the rare earths at a price lower than the market price as he expected.
But Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared on the way!
Blocking his way!
However, after Torre called out this price, he was relieved, knowing that the other party would not dare to continue.
Otherwise, it would be a disrespect to their Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
Openly confronted him.
"Ah."
The focus of the whole audience was on the girl. She chuckled and stretched out her hand to press her baseball cap lazily. Her fingers were covered with a layer of white luster under the light. Her hands were as white and beautiful as works of art.
"Two hundred and one hundred and one dollars."
The whole place fell into deathly silence again, and everyone at the party was dumbfounded.
Another zero.
Neither more nor less.
The price Qiao Nian offers is always one dollar more than the Chamber of Commerce Alliance!
What can you do with one dollar
I went out to buy a lollipop and it was gone.
It just so happens that they charge one dollar more, and one dollar is more than the original price!
Who dares to say that this was not intentional
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Qiao Nian was deliberately slapping her in the face!
There were only so many people at the cocktail party. Everyone had seen Torre deliberately targeting Nie Mi and his group before. Everyone just watched the fun, but who knew that this group of people would dare to confront the Chamber of Commerce Alliance head-on? This is too... arrogant!
But it feels so good to be inexplicably arrogant.
Torre's face turned completely black at this moment. The people around him could feel his anger. He clenched his fists and almost gritted his teeth: "Three hundred million!"
"Three hundred and one hundred dollars."
It's still one dollar more.
Still a neutral tone.
Torre laughed angrily, staring at Qiao Nian with a knife-like gaze: "Four hundred million."
He is now in a difficult situation.
If he backed down today, the whole Independent Continent would know that their Chamber of Commerce Alliance was slapped in the face by a foreign girl at a primary cocktail party.
Does their Chamber of Commerce Alliance still have any face left
So even if he loses money, he has to hold on!
Torre's eyes flickered. At this price, his heartbeat quickened. He didn't believe that a tiny girl would dare to follow him.
Qiao Nian's eyes were irritated, and his tone was cynical, always neither hurried nor slow: "Four hundred million and one yuan!"
—She actually dared to follow!
The cocktail party was already so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. No one believed that Qiao Nian would dare to follow suit. Everyone was stunned by the bidding.
There are various auctions held in the Independent Continent every day, many of which are famous scenes that people talk about with relish, but most of them are held at relatively high-end banquets.
Today is just a primary banquet, and among those who come to attend, Torre's status is already the highest.
None of the major families in the Independent Continent came to participate, and yet in such a small auction, a single item was sold for 400 million.
400 million!
Not 400,000.
This price would also attract a second look even in Independence State.
"Qiao, Qiao Nian, isn't this price too high..." Liang Conglin watched from the side as Qiao Nian and Torre went back and forth and raised the price to 400 million.
