Chapter: 4008

So, he casually raised his hand and said, "I'll bid 26 million!"

The reason auctions are so popular worldwide is that at an auction, any item only has a lower limit but no upper limit.

Therefore, any product at an auction can potentially be sold for an astronomical price, mainly depending on the competitors' strength and mentality.

Sometimes, the bidders get stuck together, even if the item isn't worth much, it could still sell for a stunning high price.

And, this straightforward bidding method indeed has limited tactics to use; usually, there are only two options: either suddenly raise the price, using momentum to intimidate the opponent, telling them that I have plenty of money and can crush you with it; or else, slowly follow up while looking calm and collected, giving the opponent a sense that if they want to play, I'll play along until the end.

Li Tai's first method didn't work, so he had no choice but to switch to his second plan. He intended to start bidding at an increment of one million USD, as long as the price was within his means.

If it happens that the price goes beyond what I can accept, then I'll quietly exit.

At this moment, the old queen from Northern Europe saw that the price was still far from her limits, so she raised her hand without hesitation and loudly declared, "I'll bid three billion dollars!"

As soon as she spoke, Li Tai's heart cursed in his mind, "Old lady, are you crazy? Three billion dollars! You know that three billion dollars is equivalent to nearly twenty billion yuan, old man! I only spent this much money on a whole batch earlier! What a bunch of nonsense!"

While cursing in his mind, Li Tai still maintained a calm tone and immediately followed up with, "I'll bid thirty-one million!"

After saying this, Li Tai's heart was dripping with blood.

He thought that most people didn't know the value of Spring Essence, so he took advantage of their lack of understanding to steal the first batch. He thought the price wouldn't exceed three billion dollars, but who could have predicted that it would already break through three billion when he turned around?

Fortunately, he was a billionaire entrepreneur with hundreds of billions in assets, so three billion dollars wasn't much for him.

The Middle Eastern tycoon raised his hand again and declared, "I'll bid thirty-two million!"

"Grass!" Li Tai cursed in his mind, just about to call out the price of thirty-three million. However, a black man who had never bid before suddenly trembled and raised his hand, his voice also trembling as he said, "I... I'll bid five billion dollars!"

This black man was one of the richest people in the world, from Nigeria, and was the super giant of Nigeria and all of Africa.

This person heard about the Spring Breeze auction from a high-society gathering in London a while back.

He himself had Parkinson's disease for ten years, and had been searching globally for the most advanced treatment methods ever since.

However, despite actively receiving various treatments all these years, his symptoms have not improved; on the contrary, they've been worsening over the past two years, to the point where his daily life has been greatly affected.

Currently, due to his hands shaking excessively, he's unable to walk independently and can't even eat by himself; he relies entirely on others for feeding. His entire person has lost all autonomous abilities, and his living quality has drastically decreased.

Not only that, but he's also lost control over all five senses, with a terribly crooked face that makes him unwilling to look in the mirror for years now.

So, even if he has an enormous fortune, he simply can't enjoy it.

Continuous years of pain have already worn him down to the point where he's no longer human; his biggest dream is to cure his own illness and be able to enjoy life peacefully, even making some sacrifices in terms of money, which means nothing to him.

Therefore, as soon as he started bidding, he raised the price by nearly 2 billion to get this Spring Breeze.

None of them, including Li Tai, the Northern European old queen, or the previous bidder from the Middle East, expected that this black tycoon would be so relentless and add so much more money on top of the previous bid. JrNovels.com
