Chapter 652: Chapter 652
"Damn it! Xu Liu Group is raising the price again!"
In a splendidly decorated office, a portly man with a young secretary in an OL outfit nestled in his arms, couldn't help but curse when he saw the numbers on the screen jump, changing to 1.81 billion Mi Coins.
The secretary gently handed him a peeled grape, whispering, "Boss, it's just a shell company, is it really worth buying at such a high price?"
The man opened his mouth to take the grape and chuckled, "Absolutely worth it! America's DUB Corporation is a longstanding enterprise. Their equipment is something we at Huaya have never had. If we get our hands on that set of equipment, we could save tens of billions in research expenses."
"But spending over ten billion Mi Coins on something that could be done with tens of billions of Huaya Currency, isn't that a bit of a loss?" the secretary asked with an adorably confused face.
The man laughed, "A loss? Of course not! We're not short of money, what we lack is time! A mere ten billion Mi Coins, we can afford that!"
His words carried an immense self-confidence as if ten billion was nothing to him.
But nobody knew that his heart was actually bleeding: Damn it, all this money, if it were all mine, that would be great. Too bad it's from the young master, I can't take a cent of it! Sigh, spending so much money on that piece of junk, wouldn't it be more comfortable to just eat well and live well with hundreds of billions of Huaya Currency? Always having to compete and fight over things.
After all, this money wasn't his. He was just guarding it temporarily, with the side task of auctioning off a bankrupt company.
But in front of his beloved secretary, he naturally had to put on an air of nonchalance, making her believe that all of this was indeed his.
The secretary looked at the man with eyes full of admiration, cooing, "Boss, you're really so rich, it's no wonder you were able to start such a big company almost overnight. I admire you so much."
She's just admiring my money, damn it!
The man muttered to himself, but still very much enjoyed the flattery. He smiled and said, "Haha, those are just trivial matters, just a bit of fun. Once our company has fully developed, I'll promote you to finance manager!" Publication courtesy of *.
The secretary was overjoyed and quickly started to fawn over the man again.
While talking with his secretary, the man continued bidding, "Humph! Dare to compete with me? 1.85 billion Mi Coins!"
The man snorted coldly and directly raised the price once again.
Seeing the numbers jumping on the screen, Jing Yuanfan immediately looked at Xu Hao.
Xu Hao chuckled, "Keep bidding, two billion."
"Ah? Two billion? Isn't that too fast? Perhaps the other side can't bid any higher. This is already a desperate gamble," Jing Yuanfan said hesitantly.
Xu Hao shook his head, "Based on my observations, the opponent's previous bids were large, which means they're not lacking money. But two billion is already the theoretical limit. If we bid that straight away, it will intimidate the other side. And besides, we're not short of money. Never mind two billion, we'd go up to three billion Mi Coins if we have to."
Xu Hao had already learned about the importance of this batch of equipment from the technical staff at Wang Zhong's, and with such a rare opportunity, he was naturally determined to win it at all costs.
Jing Yuanfan nodded and immediately raised the price to two billion Mi Coins!
"Damn it, Xu Liu Group has gone mad. Who raises the price like that, just throwing in an extra 150 million Mi Coins just like that. This isn't Huaya Currency, it's Mi Coins, do they even know how to play this game?"
The man cursed under his breath, but still raised the price by ten million.
Yuanfang Technology Company: Two billion and ten million!
Xu Liu Group: 2.1 billion!
When the man pushed the price to 2.5 billion, he finally couldn't sit still. He couldn't fathom why the Xu Liu Group would spend such a high price on a bankrupt company.
2.5 billion was the highest amount the young master had allowed him. Any higher, and he wouldn't be able to follow.
But if he failed to acquire the company, he was certain the young master's temperament would guarantee him a punishment.
Just as he was thinking, the price shot up by another billion, reaching 2.6 billion!
Looking at those cold numbers, the man started to panic slightly. He hadn't thought a mere bankrupt company could sell for such a frightening price. When he first took on the task, he even thought it was an easy job where he might be able to skim a bit off the top.
He glanced at his secretary, who was staring at the screen with sparkling eyes, and said, "Xiao Hong, step out for a moment."
Although she didn't understand why, she was not one to disobey when the boss gave an order.
She obediently nodded, gave a kiss on the man's cheek, and then left the office, gently closing the door behind her.
