Chapter: 4034
The price of the first Rejuvenation Pill, which was originally 185 billion US dollars, was quickly broken through and then shot up to surpass the 200 billion dollar mark.
At this moment, only three people had not bid at all from start to finish.
These three people were Fei Jian Zhong, He Yuan Zheng, as well as supply chain king - Bernard Elron.
At this moment, only these three people were thinking about one thing: no matter the cost, they must bid on the last Rejuvenation Pill.
Soon, the price of the fourth Rejuvenation Pill rose steadily and broke through the 200 billion dollar mark.
The price of the fourth Rejuvenation Pill kept rising, causing those who originally wanted to compete for the last one to feel increasingly anxious inside.
Because they realized that if they didn't seize the opportunity to get it now, they would have to return home empty-handed tonight.
The price of the last Rejuvenation Pill was impossible to be lower than 670 billion dollars no matter what.
Although each quarter share was calculated to be less than 200 billion dollars, the key issue was that the remaining 670 billion dollars exceeded the payment capacity of most people.
Rules restricted them from pooling funds to buy it, so those who didn't have enough money could only accept this and retreat.
They attended the Rejuvenation Pill auction because they were all over 60 years old, had various diseases, and even many were already terminal patients.
Once they entered a state where days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, money became less important to them.
In the end, the fourth Rejuvenation Pill was bid up to 220 billion dollars, shocking everyone.
No one expected that identical things would have prices of 20 billion for the first one and 220 billion for the last one.
At this moment, people who could still afford the price were all going through an extremely difficult time.
One side was due to their deep longing for the Rejuvenation Pill because of their physical condition, and the other side was struggling with the incredible price difference. The price of the Rejuvenation Pill continued to rise after several attempts, already approaching 2.5 billion.
The price difference, which made many people give up in pain, forced others to continue bidding; at this point, only two people were left vying for it.
These two individuals, without exception, were both terminal cancer patients.
One was a British millionaire who had been diagnosed with liver cancer several years ago and had undergone multiple rounds of chemotherapy, with doctors declaring he had less than six months to live.
The other was a member of the renowned Lee family in Korea, who had been diagnosed with stomach cancer a few years prior and had fought against it after experiencing bone metastasis. He had also developed resistance to targeted drugs and could only rely on palliative care, with his lifespan calculable by month.
In their eyes, money was no longer important.
So, the two of them negotiated back and forth, pushing up the price.
Before long, the price was pushed up to 300 billion dollars by the British millionaire.
Originally, he thought he could buy the last Rejuvenation Pill for at most 500 billion dollars, but he couldn't have imagined that the fourth one would already reach a threshold of 300 billion dollars, and this price was even his own bidding.
Compared to the first one, it had already skyrocketed by a whole fifteen times. JrNovels.com
