Su Ran didn't rush to speak. She wasn't particularly interested in this mine, but if she could acquire it within the expected timeframe, she would be willing to make a move.

Although the diamond content is known, mining is extremely difficult, so it is unlikely that profits can be made in a short period of time.

The price has now exceeded one billion US dollars.

But some people still kept raising the price.

Su Ran pursed her lips and turned her face to the side. "Qingjiu, send me the photos of that island, Baba Yang Kalechi. Also, send some photos of the area around the island."

Su Qingjiu nodded upon hearing this, took out the computer and began to check it. He had only checked the weapons when he entered the dungeon, but had not checked the computer.

Soon after, photos and information about the island were sent to my phone.

Su Ran took out her phone and looked at the photos that had been sent to her.

The sea was calm and the mountains stood in the center of the small island.

Su Ran's mind raced as she used her X-ray vision. Since she couldn't see the actual scene, she couldn't guarantee that the X-ray vision would work.

But I didn't see anything; it was just a picture.

But for some reason, Su Ran had an idea in her mind.

People in the hall were still bidding, but once the price exceeded three billion, many gradually withdrew from the bidding.

If you can't recoup your investment quickly, you can't mine it even if you take it over. Using other fixed assets for mining would leave you with absolutely no way out.

The number of people gradually decreased, and now there were only 10 people bidding.

Su Ran knew it was time to make her move, so she tapped lightly on the tablet.

To everyone's surprise, the host's voice faltered for a moment before he said, "The two people in the private rooms are really in sync, both bidding 3.5 billion. Do the rest of you want to raise the price?"

Su Ran, sitting in the private room, was unaware that Song Shiyan, number one, had also entered the bidding, but she figured it was fine to join in; it was just a matter of spending money.

At this point, due to Song Shiyan's involvement, two of the original ten bidders withdrew from the auction.

She and Song Shiyan happened to be in the same boat.

After the bid reached 4.8 billion, the other people in the hall remained silent for a moment, probably considering it.

But after the people in the hall paused, Song Shiyan raised the price.

Su Ran didn't immediately raise the price; she just wanted to see if there were any other bidders in the hall.

After hearing that the amount had exceeded 5 billion, no one in the hall said anything more, since they weren't sure if Song Shiyan would join them.

But the allure of the mineral vein was too great, and prices continued to rise.

The bids were rising rapidly, with people sitting in the front row bidding against each other.

After all, acquiring a mineral vein requires time, energy, money, and manpower for subsequent processing, which small companies cannot afford.

At this point, the auction price for the mine reached 6.9 billion, and only three people remained in the hall bidding.

Including the two people in the private room upstairs, there were a total of five people who were unwilling to give up the mine.

The remaining people were all powerful, and they didn't raise their bids little by little; instead, they raised them by hundreds of millions within their own means.

The price finally stopped at 15 billion before slowing down. The two people in the private room waited quite a while before making their bids, hoping that the people in the main hall would give up first.

After breaking the 20 billion mark, the other two people in the hall shook their heads and left. The man thought he had won, but then he heard the host's voice.

"24.9 billion, bid from VIP room number one, anyone else want to bid?" The host held a gavel in one hand and gestured for the other to proceed.

The man in the hall fell silent. Only then did Su Ran slowly make her bid. The host steadied himself and announced, "26 billion. Room number two has offered 26 billion."

Su Ran waited for Song Shiyan to make his bid; at this moment, only the two of them were competing for the island.

The host seemed a little nervous, after all, his boss was sitting in room number one, but he had been personally invited to room number two.

I couldn't help but wonder, wouldn't this be a case of the boss shooting himself in the foot?

When the price surpassed the 25 billion mark, many people in the hall couldn't help but shake their heads.

Large corporations that acquire diamond mines must go through the processes of mining, drilling, carving, advertising, and selling.

The recovery time is too long. It may take twenty or thirty years to fully mine a single vein, and it may take more than fifty years to fully mine this vein.

Therefore, many people are not prepared to engage in a long battle.

Su Ran sat lazily on the sofa and finally heard the host's voice, "30 billion, room number one has bid 30 billion and used a privilege card. Thank you, demon."

Based on what the host said, Su Ran believes that "demon" is probably Song Shiyan's English name.

demon?

Tsk.

This kid is not only trendy but also a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

But how do you use a privilege card again?

When she encountered a question, Su Ran would ask directly.

The host was standing properly on the stage, waiting for the price quote for VIP room number two, but after a while there was still no sound.

He struck the wooden mallet a second time; one last strike and it would be time to return to room number one.

Upon seeing the questions on the tablet, the host's originally gentle expression almost froze.

She had considered everything, but she never imagined that the VIP in room number two wouldn't know what it meant to use the privilege card.

She even thought she couldn't participate in the auction and complained about her boss.

The host tried to keep his voice steady, saying, "Some guests in room number two don't understand the privileges of the privilege card. If they want to continue participating in the auction after using the privilege card, then the next bid will have to be 100 times the initial price of the auctioned item."

As Su Ran listened to the host's words, she pondered deeply, "What was the initial price again?"

Su Qingjiu stepped aside and said, "Miss, the initial price is 100 million."

Su Ran nodded, meaning that the next bid must be 10 billion more.

The host then tapped the tablet, knowing that room number two would incur an additional charge. After looking at the numbers on the tablet, the host took a sip of water and spoke in a steady voice.

"50 billion, room number two has offered 50 billion."

As soon as Su Ran's price was announced, everyone in the hall couldn't help but discuss how much cash flow she had.

Could it be that fixed assets were damaged?

What if something goes wrong?

Su Ran propped her face up with her hand; 50 billion was on the edge of the total value, but it was still within her acceptable range.

But it's unclear whether Song Shiyan will raise the price.

The total value is only 50 billion US dollars. If a special diamond appears, it might increase, but would he gamble on it?

Immediately afterward, Su Ran's phone rang; it was an unknown number.

However, Su Ran has a good memory, and this is the same Song Shiyan who told her about the privilege card before.

After the call connected, Song Shiyan's usually steady voice cracked slightly. "Su, are you a gambler?"

Su Ran was expecting Song Shiyan to curse, but instead she heard this.

Tch, that's boring.

I have no idea how foreigners curse.

Is that what they mean by "f*uk" or "f*ck"? (Just kidding.)

"So, are you brave enough to bet?"

Su Ran's voice reached Song Shiyan's ears. He pondered, "Do I dare to take the gamble?"

Song Shiyan remained calm, not hearing any other sounds, and already knew the answer in his heart.

"Su, I admire your courage, so how about we go to Las Vegas together?"

Su Ran didn't reply immediately. Las Vegas?

That's a good suggestion.

Thank you for your suggestion.
