Chapter: 3821

Fei Jian Zhong's expression stiffened in surprise. "$50 billion doesn't move them at all?!"

"Yes...," Ke Xin said helplessly. "I also don't understand what they're thinking. A single elixir is not worth $50 billion. If I were the proxy, I would rather take risks and wait for the auction to be held than directly sell it for $50 million."

Fei Jian Zhong's expression grew grave. "If this Hui Chun Dan is indeed the great opportunity your grandfather obtained earlier, then $50 billion is not a high price at all. If it really goes up for auction, the price could easily exceed $100 billion..."

Ke Xin exclaimed in surprise. "That's impossible, Grandpa! $100 billion is what you would use to buy an F-35 aircraft carrier! What person would spend that much money on a single elixir? And besides, most people are probably unaware of its effects, including me."

Fei Jian Zhong sighed and said, "Not just you, even I don't know the specific effects of this Hui Chun Dan. But I have a gut feeling that if everything goes smoothly, the final transaction price will certainly exceed $100 billion."

As he thought for a moment, Fei Jian Zhong suddenly recalled something and added, "I understand now! That's why the proxy behind Hui Chun Dan is so confident! He has already calculated all of us in advance. When the time comes, Hui Chun Dan will definitely sell at an extremely high price!"

"Ke Xin asked nervously, 'Grandpa, what do you mean by saying he calculated everyone in advance? I don't understand.'"

"Fei Jian Zhong said, 'Think about it, why did they set a rule to let the bidding winner take the Hui Chun Dan on the spot?'"

"Ke Xin said, 'I see now. They wanted to use this requirement to ensure that all major figures cannot send proxies or make phone bids; they have to be there in person. Two, they probably want to prevent someone from taking it and re-auctioning it again. Three, they must be confident in the effects of this medicine and want all 199 other bidders to witness its effects firsthand.'"

"Yes!" Fei Jian Zhong sighed, 'You analyzed it correctly, but there's still one thing missing.'

Ke Xin was puzzled and asked, 'Grandpa, what am I missing?'

Fei Jian Zhong opened his mouth and said, 'Think about why that proxy is willing to take out two Hui Chun Dans. And why aren't they sold together or one by one, but instead, they're divided into four portions and sold separately?'"

Ke Xin hesitated for a moment on the phone before suddenly understanding and exclaimed, 'Grandpa, you mean he wants to use that portioned Hui Chun Dan to pave the way for the final one?!"

"No mistake!" Fei Jian Zhong praised enthusiastically, 'You're indeed my most promising descendant, Ke Xin!'

Ke Xin's expression remained calm and she said, 'Grandpa, please don't overpraise me; I still want to strive to be able to understand it on my own without your guidance.'

As she spoke, she had some concerns and continued to say, 'Grandpa, if that proxy really wants to use these four portions of Hui Chun Dan to pave the way, then there's no doubt that as soon as everyone sees the first successful bidder take the first portion of Hui Chun Dan, the price for the subsequent portions will only continue to rise. Each time the bidding ends, it will be a huge stimulus for those who come after, and by the time they reach the final one, the price will likely skyrocket!'"

Fei Jian Zhong let out a helpless smile: "In my opinion, one hundred billion dollars is simply not enough! Even if I double or triple it, it's still not enough."

Ke Xin hesitated for a moment and asked him: "Grandpa, how much do you value this Hui Chun Dan?"

Fei Jian Zhong remained silent for half an hour before speaking seriously: "I don't have a psychological price tag on this Hui Chun Dan. I simply must get it, and if possible, at the lowest cost."

As he said that, Fei Jian Zhong couldn't help but let out a deep sigh and said: "The only thing I'm worried about is that there might be someone else who's just as determined to get this Hui Chun Dan. If their abilities are stronger than mine, then I'll have to settle for a draw."

Ke Xin spoke gravely: "Grandpa, I understand now... how about you just wait and see? I've already submitted the registration materials, and with our abilities, we should be able to make it into the final list of 200 people."

As she said that, Ke Xin added: "From this moment on, until the auction officially starts, I'll do my best to find out who's behind Hui Chun Dan and try to reach a private agreement with them. Whether it's one hundred billion or two hundred billion, I'll do everything in my power to help you finalize this matter before the auction!"

Fei Jian Zhong accepted his granddaughter's advice and abandoned his plan to head to Jinling immediately.

He was very clear that since it's hard to get Song Family Group and the person behind them to ease up before the auction, going to Jinling now wouldn't have any practical significance.

As one gets older, physical activities and daily routines become less convenient. Currently, going back means nothing but causing trouble for Fei Ke Xin, and I wouldn't be able to help in any way. JrNovels.com
