the other side.
He Lin turned his head again, rubbing his temple, and asked helplessly: "Sixth Elder, I think the young lady seems to know why we are here, should we still follow her?"
Qiao Nian's unconventional attitude clearly showed that he knew what they were doing in the underground auction and was openly challenging them.
He estimated that if they continued to pursue him, Qiao Nian would continue to raise the price with them.
It was also the first time that Ji Hongyuan encountered such a thorny person. He said one word expressionlessly: "Follow!"
Qiao Nian directly roasted them over the fire, and now they had no choice but to play.
"600 million."
This time Ji Hongyuan was much more cautious.
At least they didn't add 300 million at a time like Qiao Nian did. It's still within a reasonable range. It's just that they played big this time. Such a "reasonable range" is only for them. For the people below, 100 million at a time is still very unreasonable.
"800 million."
As soon as Ji Hongyuan finished speaking, the girl's lazy voice rang out.
He Lin looked back at him, with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
He felt that they were all family and there was no need to make such a fuss as it was now. If things continued like this, the family might break up.
Ji Hongyuan was determined to suppress Qiao Nian's arrogance. Even though his eyes flickered, his attitude remained firm.
"900 million."
Qiao Nian didn't waste any words and added another 100 million to make it an integer: "1 billion."
This number has reached ten digits.
It's indeed a bit big.
Ji Hongyuan was about to raise the price again when the auctioneer rushed to the stage and stopped the increase. He quickly explained, "I'm sorry, both of you. The underground auction house has a rule that the upper limit of the price of the collection is generally 1 billion. If the 1 billion is not determined who will get it, according to the rules, you two must discuss other ways to prevent one party from deliberately driving up the price. What do you think, do you want to use another method to determine the ownership of this collection?"
The Ji family is not short of ten billion.
Qiao Nian is not short of ten billion.
If Ji Hongyuan wanted to continue playing with her, she would still dare to follow him.
However, the Independent State underground auction house has its own rules, and it is impossible for the two parties to tear each other apart on their own territory.
The auctioneer hurriedly came on stage to stop this unscrupulous bidding behavior, which was considered to be a timely containment of the situation.
Nan Tianyi had been watching the situation develop to this point with his mouth wide open. His heart was as clear as a mirror. His stern and dignified face looked extremely bad. His tiger eyes sank and he whispered angrily, "The Ji family knew that my Au Rou Lingzhi was useful, but they still deliberately raised the price with me. What do they mean?"
Qiao Nian didn't explain too much, just said to him: "Uncle Nan, they are coming for me, not for you."
"But you don't know them." Nan Tianyi still couldn't understand why Ji Hongyuan targeted Qiao Nian.
He rubbed his frowning brows, paced back and forth, stopped, looked at the girl, and said speculatively: "Could it be that they misunderstood your relationship with Ji Nan?"
Qiao Nian didn't expect his train of thought to be so strange that he would associate it with Ji Nan. She smiled and leaned back: "No, it has nothing to do with Ji Nan."
"That… "
"I'll explain this to you when I get back." Qiao Nian put his hands on his legs, threw the auction number plate on the table, stood up, and said to Nan Tianyi: "I must get the Ganoderma Lucidum today, Uncle Nan, do you mind?"
