No one dared to compete anymore; not only would they lose, but they would also needlessly offend others.
Fortunately, Ma Chaoyun had a good sense of strategy and did not raise his paddle at the beginning.
Nine hundred million is already a very high price.
The next few bottles, all priced similarly, were snapped up by other big spenders.
These people were very sensible and didn't try to use their connections to lower prices or get a bargain.
They auctioned off twenty bottles at once, instead of using a few bottles at a time to create scarcity; that's already quite generous of them.
You could even say it's a perk for these top billionaires.
If I were to try and gain that small advantage, I would not only lose face, but also offend people.
Besides, even if you did that, it's uncertain whether you'd actually gain any advantage.
This is great; we've obtained Kunlun Immortal Wine and also established a good relationship with the company's founder.
By this time, those once-popular stars had long since become numb and had completely degenerated into mere spectators.
Many people couldn't afford a bottle of wine like this even if they spent all their savings.
Several celebrities vying for the Kunlun Xianniang Company endorsement were even more motivated.
We must find a way to secure a spokesperson for Kunlun Xianniangzi products!
When the auction reached the eighth bottle, the girl named Ziju nervously spoke up again.
Three hundred million!
"Five hundred million!"
The previously silent Koinu Tsukasa suddenly raised his sign, looking quite arrogant, and said:
"Miss, do you have the ability to bid any higher? Less than five hundred million won't do, hehe..."
The shrewd little dog had already noticed something amiss from the girl's bidding.
This is absolutely the limit of her financial resources.
The girl's eyes were filled with anger; she knew this Japanese man was targeting her.
However, due to her limited strength, she was powerless to retaliate, and she had been harboring resentment for a long time.
Upon hearing this, he turned pale with anger, while the old man beside him trembled and his face grew increasingly pale.
Clang...
Suddenly, the sound of a chair being pushed over came, and the old man's eyes rolled back as he convulsed and collapsed to the ground.
"Grandpa, what's wrong? Don't scare me, wake up! My grandpa's uremia is acting up again, can anyone save him?"
The girl knelt beside her grandfather, crying and shouting in panic, tears streaming down her face.
When she was ten years old, her parents died in a plane crash. Fortunately, her grandfather had his own company, so it wasn't difficult for him to support her.
After graduating from university, she took over the responsibility from her grandfather and managed the company very well.
Unfortunately, she has never smiled since her grandfather was diagnosed with uremia.
It wasn't until a few months ago, with the appearance of Kunlun Immortal Wine, that her hope was rekindled.
But now Grandpa's illness has flared up again, and the antidote is right in front of him, yet he is powerless to take the picture.
This feeling of powerlessness, of something so unattainable, caused her to break down in tears.
Each episode of uremia can trigger many complications, ultimately leading to death.
How could she not panic? Her grandfather was her only living relative.
The unexpected situation caused a commotion at the auction.
The girl cried as she pleaded with the wealthy men who had previously bid on the Kunlun Immortal Wine:
"Everyone, I beg you, could you please let my grandfather have some Kunlun Immortal Wine? Don't worry, I'll pay for whatever he drinks."
She had watched the live stream of Kunlun Immortal Brew saving people before, and was deeply moved by it.
She later looked into it more closely.
Even uremia like my grandfather's can be cured, which is why he came to participate in the auction.
The wealthy men she pleaded with exchanged bewildered glances, and Ma Chaoyun explained helplessly:
"Young lady, it's not that we're unwilling, it's just that the medicinal wine hasn't reached us yet."
They only won the right to purchase the medicinal wine; it will only be theirs after the auction ends and all the money is paid.
It's no use if they want to now.
The girl realized what was happening and rushed to the auction house manager, who had arrived after hearing the commotion, pleading:
"Sir, could your company please make an exception and allow us to treat the person with the medicinal wine first?"
"Don't worry, no matter how expensive the medicinal wine you drank was, I will buy it back!"
The manager looked at her with pity and said helplessly:
"I have reported the situation to my superiors and called an ambulance for you."
"But Kunlun Immortal Wine is just a consigned item and does not belong to the auction house. We really have no right to dispose of it privately."
Upon hearing this, a trace of despair flashed across the girl's delicate face, but she still refused to give up and continued to plead and cry:
"Please, I beg you, this is a matter of life and death. Kunlun Immortal Wine Company has been able to treat so many cancer patients for free before."
"I believe that such a caring company will understand this behavior. If it drags on any longer, my grandfather will not make it."
The girl cried with tears streaming down her face, her pitiful appearance evoking pity in many people.
It only took less than a minute.
The old man lying on the ground had begun to twitch his limbs, and his face was turning increasingly purple.
If this continues, we won't be able to wait for the ambulance to arrive.
But auction houses also have their principles; they have no right to decide what's not their property.
"Girl, if it's really bad, you should take her to the hospital right away."
"Given the patient's condition, it's probably too late to get to the hospital."
Some people sympathized and sighed, but they weren't doctors, and there was nothing anyone could do.
"Manager Li, let's get the medicinal wine to save the person first. General Manager Chu of Kunlun Immortal Wine Company is my boss. I'll take the blame for any problems."
Yang Zhengming walked over with a cold face, his tone crisp and decisive.
"Young Master Yang, this... isn't quite right!"
The manager had met Yang Zhengming once during the handover of the auction.
