Chapter 1424 The Final Decision

Chapter 1425 A Decisive Decision

Aria watched his retreating figure, pursed her lips, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

"These big families are just arrogant."

When she said those words, she forgot that she had once been a member of a large family.

Although Aria sometimes acts like a little princess, she still has a very sound moral compass when it comes to matters of principle.

This is why Qin Hao felt that she was different from others.

"Used to it."

Qin Hao picked up the champagne on the table and smiled faintly.

"The more they act like this, the more it proves the value of our gold."

Nowadays, there are almost no gold pieces on the market with the same high purity as Qin Hao's. Everyone is eager to cooperate with him and obtain the chief authorization.

Qin Hao deliberately blocked these people, leaving them with no way to stop him.

So it would be strange if they didn't get angry and embarrassed in a moment of desperation.

The auction began quickly, with one item after another appearing on the stage, ranging from ancient calligraphy and paintings to rare jewels, each fetching a considerable price.

Qin Hao remained unmoved.

He has so many antiques at home that he can't possibly store them all.

Listen, can you hear what people are saying?
Seeing that Qin Hao wasn't interested, Ailiya lost interest as well and yawned out of boredom.

Until a special item appeared at the auction.

An agreement for the transfer of mining rights to a large lithium mine in South Asia.

"This lithium mine has abundant reserves and is a core raw material for new energy vehicle batteries, with huge potential," the auctioneer enthusiastically introduced.

At this moment, Qin Hao understood that Director Liu's purpose in wanting him to come was probably for this reason.

It must be said that this is a very crucial piece of intelligence data.

It would have been a huge loss for Qin Hao if he hadn't known about this news and someone had taken the picture.

"This favor is quite substantial," Qin Hao said, narrowing his eyes.

This Director Liu is also very good at interpersonal relationships and has a clear understanding of the situation.

If Qin Hao were to win, it would only be like adding wings to a tiger.

Even if he doesn't win, it won't have much impact on the overall market structure in the short term.

The scene immediately stirred, with many people revealing determined looks, including Jason.

"Starting bid: five hundred million US dollars!"

"Six hundred million!" Jason was the first to raise his paddle.

"Seven billion!"

Someone immediately placed a bid.

Jason and Qin Hao weren't the only ones eyeing this lucrative opportunity.

Many people want to get into the new energy market.

What's missing is an opportunity.

The price soared and soon surpassed one billion.

"Fifteen billion!"

Jason raised the sign again, looking at everyone present with a defiant gaze.

This time he brought plenty of funds, determined to win!
As he finished speaking, the crowd quieted down considerably.

Even if they really want to get involved, they still have to consider the possibility of losing money.

If we can't sustain ourselves through the previous few periods, then we can expect to go bankrupt and be liquidated at a loss!
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the market.

Just when Jason thought he had it in the bag and had already won,

Qin Hao curled his lips into a cold smile and slowly raised the card.

"Two billion."

Qin Hao had no interest in participating in the competition among these people; it would have been a waste of breath.

Once Jason has pressured everyone else into not daring to bid, that's when Qin Hao will make his move.

All you need is a voice and a price.

The entire audience was in an uproar. No one expected that Qin Hao, who had been silent all along, would suddenly make a move, and with such an exorbitant price.

"Who is this person? I don't recognize him!"

"Look at the woman sitting next to him, doesn't she look familiar?"

"Oh...I know who this person is!"

As soon as Qin Hao made his offer, everyone's attention turned to him.

Ailiya thought Qin Hao wasn't interested in this, but she didn't expect him to suddenly make a bid.

Jason's face instantly turned ugly, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Two billion!"

Qin Hao, that guy, really is going to compete with him.

Jason had guessed this from the beginning, but Qin Hao remained silent, leading Jason to believe that his price was too high and that Qin Hao had no financial competition.

This is good news.

Now it seems he was overthinking things.

"Three billion."

Qin Hao calmly raised his sign again.

Even the auctioneer was stunned.

Raise the price directly to 3 billion?

Whatsup!

Is it really that exaggerated?

There was dead silence.

Only the sound of breathing could be heard in the venue.

Aria, however, was not shocked. Instead, she looked at Qin Hao with a smile.

This man is really handsome.

"What makes you think you can claim 3 billion?"

Perhaps the price was too shocking, because Jason actually started questioning Qin Hao.

"what happened?"

Qin Hao raised an eyebrow slightly. "I didn't tell you not to call me that."

At this point, the auctioneer realized what was happening and nodded.

“That’s right, Mr. Jason, you can continue bidding. It’s not finalized yet that this gentleman will be the owner.”

"..."

Jason stared intently at Qin Hao, his eyes filled with resentment, but ultimately gave up raising his placard.

Although he was rich, he didn't dare to squander his money like that, and he could tell that Qin Hao was deliberately going against him.

Even if he continues to bid, it is very likely that Qin Hao will raise the price further.

Most importantly, he was worried that this was a trap set by Qin Hao.

Intentionally provoke him, then make him lose his temper and keep raising the price.

When the price became outrageous, Qin Hao suddenly stopped bidding.

Although Jason won face, it was of no use.

Everyone sighed.

I had thought I was going to see a fierce auction.

Unexpectedly, the two exchanged only a few words before the conversation ended there.

"Thirty billion once! Thirty billion twice! Thirty billion three times! Deal!"

The auctioneer brought down the gavel. Qin Hao successfully secured the lithium mining rights.

Aria, who was sitting next to him, excitedly grasped his hand.

"You are amazing!"

Qin Hao smiled and said in a low voice, "What's so great about money?"

"What's truly impressive is my discerning eye."

New energy is the future trend. Securing this lithium mine will allow the company to gain a foothold in the new energy field, complementing its gold industry.

This is why Qin Hao felt he owed Director Liu a huge favor.

Director Liu must have seen this point as well, which is why he recommended him here.

At first, Qin Hao was curious.

He didn't want to auction any antiques, so why did Director Liu want him to come here?

Now Qin Hao understood; this was what they were waiting for him.

Unfortunately, Qin Hao glanced around the scene and found that Director Liu was not there.

However, this also shows that it's pretty much what he thought.

The auction continued, and Qin Hao successively acquired several more mining-related patents and equipment.

Every move he made was precise and decisive, directly using his financial power to settle scores with a single blow, which not only impressed everyone present but also made Jason very uncomfortable.

Jason had assumed that since Qin Hao had spent so much money to buy the mine, he wouldn't have any extra money to buy the equipment.

He planned to buy the equipment and then deliberately annoy Qin Hao. If Qin Hao wanted to buy it, he would demand an exorbitant price.

But his plan failed; Qin Hao used even more money than him, completely shattering his scheme.

Is this the power of money?
As soon as Qin Hao stepped out of the castle after the auction, Jason stopped him.

"Qin Hao, are you deliberately going against me?"

Jason's tone was angry.

He came away empty-handed at today's auction.

The more I took a step back, the more angry I became.

He had to come and talk to Qin Hao.

"Everyone bids based on their own abilities; there's no question of them opposing each other," Qin Hao said calmly.

"Don't get cocky. The situation in the Southern Continent is complicated. It won't be that easy for you to mine lithium smoothly," Jason threatened.

"If you want to cooperate with me, I can guarantee your mining will go smoothly."

"Mr. Jason, you don't need to worry about that."

Qin Hao looked at him and smiled faintly, "As for your family, you should pay more attention to your oil business, because it will be replaced by new energy sources sooner or later."

"You're talking nonsense! Oil is still a highly profitable industry!" Jason, perhaps struck by Qin Hao's words, immediately broke down.

"You're short-sighted. If you don't believe me, fine, but consider this a piece of advice."

After saying that, Qin Hao ignored Jason and left with Aria, leaving Jason trembling with anger.

In today's environment, environmental protection is the trend, and oil is gradually being replaced.

Not to mention that there are some emerging methods that can also replace the role of oil.

Qin Hao wants to delve into the new energy industry, such as new energy vehicles, which are taking away the market share of gasoline vehicles.

Jason must have realized this, which is why he entered the new energy vehicle market.

Unfortunately, a surprise attack came out of nowhere.

Qin Hao blocked his path.

Speaking of which, he should at least treat Director Liu to a meal.

In the car, Aria excitedly hugged Qin Hao and said, "That was so much fun! Seeing Jason's humiliated face was so satisfying!"

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Although we've managed to take him down, this kind of person is very cunning. Who knows what other tricks he might have up his sleeve?"

"We won't go back this time. We'll stay here for two days, and leave when there's nothing else to do."

"Tch! If he dares to come here, I'll show him why the flowers are so red!"

Arya waved her pink fists, baring her teeth and claws, looking incredibly cute.

"Alright, then let our little Princess Lia deal with him."

Qin Hao smiled and pinched Ailiya's little cheek, then fastened his seatbelt and prepared to drive away.

Just then, a staff member rushed out.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an auctioneer.

He held several contracts in his hands, looking embarrassed.

Qin Hao frowned slightly and rolled down the car window.

"Hello, is there a problem?"

The auctioneer sighed.

"Sir, you haven't signed the contract or paid yet."

"Those items you just auctioned off."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao slapped his forehead.

"Look at my memory,"

Qin Hao chuckled. He had been so busy bickering with Jason and planning for the future that he had forgotten the most practical steps.

"Sorry, I'll sign it right away."

He took the thick stack of contracts from the auctioneer and carefully flipped through them by the light inside the car.

Aria also came over and whispered something.

"Thirty billion? We need to be careful, lest we get ripped off."

Without realizing it, she gradually began to resemble Qin Hao's assistant.

The auctioneer stood outside the car, maintaining a professional smile, but inwardly he was a little uneasy.

This gentleman didn't even blink when he was bidding, but now he's suddenly being careful?

However, someone who can easily come up with 3 billion should be cautious no matter what.

Moreover, although Qin Hao did not undergo verification, he held Director Liu's invitation letter, so he must not be an ordinary person. He should be able to take out the money as easily as throwing it away.

Otherwise, if someone just randomly bids and then can't pay the price, wouldn't that disrupt the market?
Qin Hao read at an extremely fast pace, his eyes scanning the key clauses with keen insight, looking for any potential pitfalls.

After years of hard work and experience, he has developed a keen eye and can see through the traps in contracts.

After confirming that everything was correct, he swiftly signed his name where it was required, his strokes flowing smoothly and with great flair.

Ailiya didn't ask any further questions; she trusted Qin Hao's judgment.

"Okay, the payment method will proceed as previously registered, is that alright?"

Qin Hao handed the signed contract back.

"Of course, Mr. Qin, we are already very familiar with the process."

"The payment will be settled within three business days. Congratulations, Mr. Qin, and Ms. Ailiya, these valuable items are now yours."

The auctioneer respectfully accepted the contract, a weight lifted from his shoulders.

He couldn't afford to take responsibility if something went wrong with such a large transaction.

Moreover, he will also lose a large amount of commission.

In the distance, Jason witnessed all of this, his eyes gradually turning sinister.

"It's mine, it's mine after all."
