Lord! Give up, my wife is a black and white vest

Chapter 48: Sky-high Bidding; Wen Li and Lu Xixiao are in a fight

On stage,

The local government official was making a passionate speech, but there was no response from the audience. It was obvious that they were not giving him face. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly finished his speech, and the auction officially began.

This auction was only about the auction of S Continent from beginning to end, but S Continent was not the only item on auction tonight.

Fully armed soldiers with submachine guns hanging from their waists escorted several staff members holding trays onto the stage.

Each tray was covered with a red velvet cloth.

"What are these things? Isn't it the auction of S Continent? Are there other things?" Lin Ke muttered to himself.

Unexpectedly, Wen Li would reply: "The selling point of S Continent."

Before Lin Ke could figure out what was going on, he saw the cloth being peeled off, and on the tray were diamond raw materials of different colors. Each of them was at least the size of a fist and sparkled brightly.

It comes from the mineral veins in S Continent.

Lin Ke suddenly realized: No wonder the boss can start a company, businessmen have different minds, and he thought of it immediately.

The host is diligently introducing the value, origin and output of these diamonds, and informing the public about the mineral veins in Continent S.

Although these raw diamonds are just pawns, the high price that S Continent can fetch at auction tonight depends entirely on these mines.

So some preparation is essential.

The host quickly auctioned the raw diamonds.

Although everyone came to S Continent, the last thing they lacked was money, so they did not recommend warming up to liven up the atmosphere. Besides, the host looked like he was not going to stop until the filming was finished, so if they did not film, they would have to wait for a long time.

So many people actively participated in the auction.

More than a dozen rough diamonds were quickly sold out.

The highlight finally began, and the atmosphere in the venue changed immediately.

After the host spoke a few words, he officially announced the start of the auction.

"Continent S—Starting price: US$1 billion. Valid increments must be at least US$20 million each. Bidding begins now."

"Number 018 bids one billion and twenty million US dollars."

"No. 079 bids $ billion."

"Bid No. 024..."

As soon as the host finished speaking, before Lin Ke could react, he heard the host shouting for a price increase four or five times. Those people were scrambling to raise their hands, and the host didn't even give him a break.

It's like grabbing cabbage.

Lin Ke said slowly, "The starting price is one billion US dollars?"

And each price increase must be at least 20 million.

Listening to the soaring numbers, Lin Ke felt for the first time that money was so worthless, not to mention that it was US dollars. He didn't even dare to burn so much money when visiting his family's graves during the Qingming Festival.

As a mercenary and the second-in-command of the mercenary group, Lin Ke was a man who killed people without blinking an eye. However, facing this scene, he couldn't help but feel nervous. He couldn't help but hold the sign in his hand tightly and then looked at Wen Li beside him.

"Let them take the photo first." Wen Li looked at his phone calmly.

These grand scenes were a bit overwhelming for Lin Ke, but for Wen Li they were like daily routines.

The venue was bustling with activity, with signs being raised one after another.

"Number 117 bids $ billion."

"No. 019 bids $ billion..."

"Is there any higher?"

It was similar to what Wen Li had expected. After the price reached 2 billion, the speed slowed down visibly, eliminating a number of competitors. The bidders' bidding speed gradually became difficult.

"No. 073 bids $ billion."

"Anyone else want to raise the price?"

Wen Li said, "It's time to start."

Lin Ke swallowed his saliva: "Then, I raised it."

"Lift."

After getting the confirmation, Lin Ke raised the card with a trembling heart.

The host immediately looked in their direction and happily shouted, "No. 066 bids $ billion."

After Lin Keji finished his examination, someone started filming him soon after.

After several rounds of chasing back and forth, Lin Ke and several other bidders raised the price a lot. Finally, there were only two or three sparse bidders left, and Lin Ke was sweating.

"...That should be OK, right?" Lin Ke muttered, his eyes scanning the venue, afraid that someone would raise a sign.

Wen Li looked at the situation and felt that it was about the same.

The host, holding the microphone, shouted until his voice was hoarse: "Two billion five hundred and eighty million US dollars, are there any bids?"

"Are there any higher prices?"

The host looked around the audience.

Lin Ke stared at the hammer in the host's hand, but the hammer didn't fall and the host kept raising the price.

Thanks to the host's hard work, the success increased by another 20 million.

Lin Ke had no choice but to raise the sign again.

"Okay! Number 066 bids billion."

"Is there anything higher than 2.6 billion?"

Lin Ke stared at the nagging host, his teeth itching.

Seeing that it was almost done, Lu Qi prepared to take action: "Fifth Master, can we start now?"

Lu Xixiao: "Yeah."

Lu Qi immediately raised his sign.

"Twenty-six billion first time."

"Twenty-six billion..."

The host shouted for a long time but no one raised the price. Just as he was about to drop the hammer, he saw another number plate raised.

He immediately shouted excitedly: "Number 111 bids billion US dollars!"

Lin Ke's heart was finally at peace.

Hearing this number, Wen Li frowned slightly.

She seemed to be nonchalant and handed it over to Lin Ke. She did not listen carefully to or remember the number plates, but she was very sure that number 111 was the first time.

He doesn't participate in meaningless auctions and only takes action at the last critical moment. He is undoubtedly a big shot.

It seems that the other party is also determined to win.

As soon as Lu Qi raised his hand, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Wen Li remained calm: "Continue."

Lin Ke holds up the sign.

"No. 066 bids $ billion!"

Lu Qi raised his hand immediately afterwards.

"Number 111 bids $ billion!"

Lin Ke raised another one.

Lu Qi followed suit.

For a time,

Only No. 066 and No. 111 were left bidding.

The two of them were chasing each other back and forth, as if they were in a quarrel, and the atmosphere was full of tension.

After a while, the price reached a new high.

It directly broke through 3 billion.

This attracted many people to look for it out of curiosity.

I want to see who these two people are.

I found that the person holding the number 066 was a young Asian man, and next to the man sat an Asian girl with a very eye-catching appearance and temperament.

When they saw that they were two Asians, everyone looked at them strangely. Their gazes stayed on Wen Li for a long time, and they all had hidden thoughts in their minds.

They soon discovered that the person holding card number 111 on the other side was also an Asian.

But this man was clearly an assistant.

Because no matter how you look at it, the man next to him with a strong aura, outstanding appearance and imposing manner looks more like the boss.

They are all Asians.

There was a hint of contempt in their eyes, but it was not too obvious, which was much better than when they looked at Wen Li and Lin Ke just now.

After all, Wen Lilinke seemed to be much weaker.

Whispers gradually began to rise in the conference hall.

The battle between Lin Ke and Lu Qi has just begun.

The host was laughing so hard that his teeth almost fell out. He was so excited that he ran to the left and then to the right, his voice louder than the last.

"Number 111 bids $ billion!"

Following No. 111's bid, Wen Li finally reacted and looked in No. 111's direction...
