Chapter 234 They Are Awesome
...
"Dover, isn't it time to stop? It's already 12 billion. Excluding the cost of 6 million Baileys, we have doubled our profit!"
Torrebol said excitedly.
Unexpectedly, such a simple operation would generate profits equal to the monthly income of all their industries. This money could be used to make up for the recent losses caused by the navy to their Don Quixote family's North Sea industries.
"No, it's not enough. That bastard took 20 billion in cash from us. But I didn't expect he would want the wood so much. Let's squeeze him dry! As long as he dares to keep raising the price by million, there's no need to stop. Keep raising the price until he starts to hesitate. Fffffffff!"
Doflamingo gave an evil smile.
...
"Number 8 continues to raise the price by 12 million! Now it's 1 billion! Who will win? It's really exciting!"
"Fuck, you're still coming? Did these people get their money from the wind?"
Seeing that the other party raised the price again, Captain Gel in the box couldn't help but complain.
Although he has plenty of money, it doesn't mean that Gel is willing to be a sucker.
The precious Adam tree is not unique. Every once in a while, some of its wood will flow into the black market for sale. The current price has been auctioned to more than twice the normal price, which is a bit abnormal.
"It's very strange. The price is already so high, but the other party still raises the price without hesitation, and only a little bit each time. I feel that the other party does not really want to bid for Baoshu Adam regardless of the cost. Instead, it seems that he knows that someone will bid, so he is unscrupulously raising the price to test the other party's bottom line."
"It's very likely that the auction house arranged this, Captain. I think we can try to hesitate and bid at the last minute, and only increase the price by a few million Baileys. This will give him the illusion that the price has reached the limit and we may not want it if we raise the price further. Maybe he will give up."
On the side, Tezulo analyzed seriously.
Gel was stunned when he heard this, but then he immediately understood. Who else could know that he would come to buy the treasure tree Adam?
"Haha, now that you've reminded me of this, I know what's going on. This kid is really mean and actually wants to trick me. Senior, Ajin, the two of you go and secretly keep an eye on the people in Box 8. If Doflamingo comes in person, remember to notify me first."
"Okay Captain."
The two nodded in agreement and prepared to go out, but were stopped by Gel:
"Wait, bring your secret weapon."
The two turned around and reluctantly took a pair of stockings from Ger's hand.
"Okay, okay, this is how we play, eh? Then don't blame me for being a bad person!"
Gel showed a "kind" smile and said to Tezoro beside him:
"In that case, we must not show any hesitation. Tezulo, continue to bid 13 billion! I want to see how long they dare to keep going!"
"Okay, Captain."
Tezoro entered the price carefully. Having never done a deal worth billions before, he couldn't help but count the digits again. He only dared to press the button after confirming that it was correct.
Ge Er stood in front of the glass, watching the host dancing excitedly on the stage and the numbers jumping on the screen.
As expected, the person in Box 8 continued to raise the price without hesitation. As long as he raised the price a little bit, Gel would make it an integer. Both sides raised their prices one after another, and in just two minutes, the price had reached an astonishing 20 billion Baileys.
Tezolo, who pressed the quote button, was already sweating profusely. There was nothing he could do. The shock of 20 billion Baileys was really too great for him. Stella considerately took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat.
Before today, Tezoro was still working hard for the 3 million ransom, but now he personally offered 20 billion to buy three pieces of wood.
That’s equivalent to 66.666 Stellas!
"Two billion Baileys! What an incredible price! It looks like the VIP in Box No. 20 is determined to get what he wants today!"
The host's voice was a little hoarse from shouting, and he might have to change people after this scene. He had just taken a breath when Box No. 8 made another bid.
“果不其然！8号又又又又一次加价了！8号包厢的贵宾再次加价1千万贝利，这是决心要跟对方死磕到底啊！20亿1千万，我们1号贵宾是否还会继续出价21亿呢？真是令人期待！”
Off the court, all the princes, nobles, wealthy businessmen were completely numb. They could only sigh inwardly that there are differences between rich people. Just to prove themselves, an item worth 20 million or million was auctioned off to billion and they still didn't stop. Just act like a human being!
"Captain, more?"
Tezoro had already entered the number 21 billion out of habit, and was just waiting for Captain Gel to nod before pressing it.
"Haha, no thanks. They are awesome. Only a fool would spend 20 billion to buy three pieces of wood."
Gel looked at the direction of Box 8 across from him, and secretly sighed: Is the Don Quixote family so rich? They just got ripped off for 20 billion, not to mention that they have spent all their money, they must be seriously injured, right? It has only been a few months, can they continue to play music and dance?
Could it be that the current Shampoo Auction House was already their family business before Doflamingo and his people left the North Sea?
Then I should have extorted less last time.
"Two billion and one hundred million at a time~!"
"Two billion and one hundred million twice~!"
...
"Boom!!"
"Two billion and one hundred million three times! Deal! Congratulations to VIP No. 20 for successfully bidding on the treasure tree Adam!"
This time, no matter how much the host slowed down his speech or stretched out his voice, he still couldn't get another bid from Ger, so he could only reluctantly knock down the gavel and announce the result.
"Bah bang bang!!"
Applause broke out again at the scene, cheering for Box No. 8's final victory.
"Oh my god! Sisters, the situation has changed. Let's split up. There's one more target."
Several women couldn't help but sigh that it's really not easy to catch a rich man. It's not good to have too many suitable prey at once, and they are suffering from decision-making difficulties.
...
"Boss! Yes, yes, the other party suddenly gave up. Now the deal has been completed for 20 billion. What should we do if the deal is stuck in our hands?!"
Looking at the panicked Den Den Mushi on the table, the expressions of the two people in the room gradually became ugly.
"Young Master, what should we do now?"
After a long while, Torrebol was the first to ask.
"Has he been discovered? This bastard is not as stupid as our previous opponents. He won't fall into our trap so easily."
Doflamingo controlled his emotions, but the armrests of the chair had already been left with several deep marks by the silk thread in his hands.
"Forget it. We don't need to pay any more money. Let's just bring the things back. It's only 6 million Baileys. We can find a chance to sell them on the black market later."
"Okay, young master."
Just as Trebol was about to convey the order, he heard Den Den Mushi speak:
"Boss! The person in charge of the auction house is here. They want us to complete the transaction and pay an additional 2% commission... 100 million Baileys!"
