Andy Lau knew very well that this might be one of his few opportunities to raise his placard today.
There were so many big shots who came that he originally wanted to reluctantly buy a bottle to take home.
Now it seems the hope is slim.
Two hundred million!
Sure enough, no sooner had he finished speaking than a middle-aged lady made a bid.
"Two hundred and five hundred million!"
Without the host even saying a word, someone immediately raised their number plate.
Although everyone knows that there is more than one bottle of Kunlun Immortal Wine being auctioned today.
From the bidders' perspective, they naturally don't want to compete with each other and drive up the price too much.
If everyone could agree on a price and each buy a bottle, it would undoubtedly be a win-win situation.
Unfortunately, there were just too many people coming, so this scenario was destined to fail.
"My Hinomaru Group will offer 300 million!"
A slightly awkward yet domineering voice echoed throughout the venue, creating an invisible sense of oppression.
The speaker was a short, middle-aged man sitting behind the auction table in the hall.
He has an ordinary appearance, sharp and domineering eyes, a mustache, and thin lips, giving people the feeling that he is not easy to get along with.
"This person is named Koizumi Tsutomu, and he is the vice president of the Hinomaru Group in Japan."
Manager Wang hurriedly explained to the group.
Chu Mo frowned slightly. While others directly quoted prices, he brought up the company name to tell everyone that this was a company action.
Is this Japanese man trying to intimidate others and prevent them from competing with him?
Haha, you just got Lao Zhong to refuse to discuss cooperation with them, and now you're here to flex your muscles?
The methods used were truly crude and despicable.
The people who had been bidding earlier looked slightly embarrassed, but they didn't raise their paddles again.
Those present are not ordinary people; they are all well aware of the strength of the Hinomaru Group.
That's a Fortune 100 company; even in this auction house full of billionaires, it would still be enough to rank in the top ten.
There are still so many items left to be auctioned; there's absolutely no need to break ties with him.
After all, no one knows whether there will be opportunities for cooperation between them in the future.
Even if not, offending the other party over this is not a wise move.
Andy Lau had done his homework beforehand, and now that he saw people of this caliber bidding, he had long since stopped talking.
"Is anyone else willing to raise the price?"
The beautiful host smiled and asked, "This price is naturally lower than expected."
The room fell silent for a few seconds.
Just as many people were speculating that the bottle of medicinal wine would be auctioned off at a low price by Hinomaru, a crisp sound rang out.
"Three hundred and fifty million!"
Everyone looked curiously at the girl holding the sign. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had delicate features and was pleasing to the eye.
Beside her sat a worried-looking elderly man in his seventies.
The two looked like grandfather and grandson, but unfortunately no one recognized them.
Seeing someone bidding, Koizumi Tsukasa's eyes showed a hint of displeasure, but his face remained calm.
"Four hundred million!"
"Four hundred and fifty million!"
The girl decisively raised her sign, her delicate eyes filled with determination.
"Five hundred million!"
Koinu Tsukasa looked at the girl with a smile, his smile refined and gentle.
He seemed completely unconcerned, but the sharpness in his eyes grew increasingly apparent.
This time, the girl hesitated, her eyes filled with resentment and helplessness.
Finally, after the old man next to him shook his head in signaling, they did not raise the price any further.
The photographers in the back row let out a soft gasp of surprise.
None of them expected that the first bottle of Kunlun Immortal Wine would fetch such a price.
As for the bigwigs sitting in the auction room, they all remained calm and composed, and even if they were slightly surprised, they did not show it on their faces.
Although the amount of money was considerable, it wasn't a particularly shocking figure for them.
Just as Koinu Tsukasa was feeling smug, a voice shattered his illusions.
"Six hundred million!"
"Nani?"
Surprised, the puppy couldn't help but blurt out in Japanese.
Looking at the young man holding up the sign, he looked disgusted, but he felt there was no need to raise the price any further.
Anyway, there are more bottles to come. With his status and position, surely he can snatch one?
However, the fact that these two young men were so disrespectful to him made him very angry.
After whispering an instruction to his assistant, the little dog remained silent with a dark expression.
Chu Mo, who was in the private room, couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle when he saw this scene.
The young man who asked for 600 million was none other than Yang Zhengming, who was sent by Old Master Yang as his representative to support him.
Or rather, it would be more accurate to say that he came here to act as a shill for him.
Once bidders agree to bid low, he will be responsible for making the purchase.
However, this time, the amount of 500 million yuan that Xiao Quan offered is really not low.
Logically, there was no need to raise the price, but what could we do when the other party was Japanese?
Chu Mo could understand why Yang Zhengming, who came from a military family, wanted to raise the price because he was unhappy with him.
He secretly supports it too!
Since it's my own purchase, it doesn't matter how much money I spend. Even if others don't raise the price, it's just a matter of paying auction commission.
At that moment, a white man in the front row of the auction floor was nodding to his beautiful assistant.
The female assistant hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help herself and whispered a word of advice:
"Mr. John, I think this price is too high. We can definitely bid for a bottle at a lower price."
"No, Ellie, we must win the first bottle to demonstrate our strength."
"Mr. John, I don't quite understand. What does winning the first wine have to do with ability?" The female assistant's beautiful eyes showed doubt.
