Chapter: 4007

So this time, he immediately registered for the auction and hoped to grab another piece of Rejuvenation Pill through this opportunity.

He also knew that his financial resources were insufficient, making it impossible for him to buy a whole Rejuvenation Pill, so he placed his hopes on winning one of the four pieces.

Song Wan Ting then spoke up: "This time's auction accepts both RMB and USD as payment currencies, but since many foreign friends have arrived today, we will use only USD as the unit currency. The starting price for this quarter-sized Rejuvenation Pill is 1 billion USD, with each subsequent bid increasing by at least 10 million USD. Please start bidding, interested buyers!"

The starting price for this quarter-sized Rejuvenation Pill was set at 1 billion USD, which indeed shocked many bidders who didn't have that much money.

Just as many people were still in a state of confusion, Li Tai came out and said without hesitation: "I'll bid 1 billion USD!"

In the monitoring room, Ye Chen chuckled and said: "Li Tai is indeed clever, knowing he had to go for the first piece. With his financial resources, if he couldn't get the first one, it would be even harder to get later ones."

"Yes," Chen Zekai switched to a close-up of Li Tai's face, chuckling: "Master, look at this. Although Li Tai bid 1 billion USD so straightforwardly, his expression looks still pretty emotional."

Ye Chen also couldn't help but smile and nod: "Actually, among the two hundred people here today, at least half would decide to drop out right after the starting price is announced. They've come a long way just to see how powerful the Rejuvenation Pill is, and even if they're willing to bid, they'll probably give up after a few rounds."

In reality, Li Tai himself was also shocked by the 1 billion USD starting price.

According to the current exchange rate, 1 billion USD is equivalent to over 6 billion CNY.

He had previously bought a whole Rejuvenation Pill for 20 billion CNY, and now he's bidding on a quarter-sized one with a starting price that's only a third of the previous price!

However, Li Tai couldn't help but think: "Tonight, four pieces of Rejuvenation Pill are being auctioned off. The first piece is definitely the cheapest, because most people here still don't know how amazing it is. Once someone buys the first piece and everyone sees it, they'll go crazy! The prices will skyrocket afterwards! So I must get this first piece!"

Song Wan Ting saw Li Tai's bid and nodded: "Alright, 055 has bid 1 billion USD. Is there anyone willing to bid 1.1 billion USD? If so, please raise your hand."

As soon as the voice fell silent, an elderly man with a white-haired face raised his hand and said, "I'll bid one billion one hundred million USD!"

Li Tai didn't hesitate to raise his hand again: "I'll bid two billion USD!"

Just as Song Wan Ting was about to speak up, an old man from the Middle East region raised his hand and said, "I'll bid two billion USD!"

Li Tai was taken aback by this sudden surge in bidding and thought to himself, "This guy starts off by directly increasing the price from one billion two hundred million to two billion, I wonder if he's really that rich or just trying to psyche out the other bidders with a massive price hike!"

Before Li Tai could regain his composure, he saw the old queen sitting at the VIP seat at the front row open her mouth and say, "I'll bid twenty-five million USD more than two billion!"

The old queen's wealth wasn't that great; the entire Illyrian family's assets combined couldn't even cover this auction's registration threshold.

However, from someone who had already walked through the door of death, money was nothing in front of life. It was like a fart to her.

She could really spend thirty billion USD, but three to five billion USD, she would still be able to muster up.

Her current thinking was similar to Li Tai's; since she was not strong enough and had limited resources, she had to act quickly, catch everyone off guard, and try to outbid them all at once.

So, she immediately increased the price by twenty-five million USD, intending to show her determination to seize control and scare off those who dared to compete with her.

Li Tai didn't expect to run into two fierce bidders as soon as he started, and in that instant, he even had a sudden urge to shout out a bid of three billion USD, just to see who could scare whom.

However, upon a second thought, there were already two such players involved. If I also play the same way, it's unlikely to be effective. JrNovels.com
