"Two hundred million! This gentleman has already bid two hundred million. Is there any customer willing to offer a higher price?"
On the auction stage, the auctioneer shouted excitedly.
Two hundred million—this is the highest price ever paid for a single item at their auction house in recent years. It's not only an honor for their auction house, but also an honor for the auctioneer.
"Two hundred million per time!"
"Two hundred million twice!"
A string of Buddhist prayer beads for 200 million Chinese yuan is practically astronomical. The other wealthy people pondered and didn't bid anymore. Soon, the auctioneer began to call out the number of bids.
In fact, this string of Buddhist beads has the effect of calming the mind and focusing the spirit. Some very wealthy people are interested in buying it, especially since some of them know that some magical items have magical abilities. They are willing to accept a price of more than 200 million yuan.
However, judging from Lin Yun's bidding style, even if they raise the price again, they may not be able to win the bid.
These wealthy people have reached this point because they generally share a habit: they avoid doing things that harm others without benefiting themselves, especially with people with whom they have no prior conflict.
Since they can't win the bid no matter how much they bid, why bother bidding at all? They're just making an enemy for no reason!
Look at this owner of Qingyun Restaurant and Qingyun Hotel, he looks rich and arrogant, and young and impetuous. He has offended the other party now. Who knows when the other party will trip him up?
Thinking this way, they all gave up.
Therefore, from this perspective, Lin Yun's bidding method is not necessarily a loss.
"Two hundred and ten million!" The faces of the group of spirit hunters turned even uglier. The person who had called out the price gritted his teeth and finally shouted out a new price.
He decided that even if they didn't make money this time, they couldn't let the other party get away with it. In their opinion, the other party was too dishonest, taking so many items that might have spiritual properties.
If the other party doesn't give them face, why should they give them face in return?
An item with spiritual power is worth over 200 million, 210 million... If they get their hands on it, handle it properly, and deduct all expenses, they might not make much profit, but they won't lose money!
Three hundred million!
Lin Yun said calmly, still appearing nonchalant.
It's like when he asks for 300 million, it's about the same as asking for 30 million or 3 million.
In fact, Lin Yun didn't really care about 300 million.
The large-scale construction in Xianyuan County consumes more than 300 million yuan every day. During this period, he also ordered his subordinates to purchase a large amount of resources, which consumes 3 to 4 billion yuan every day.
Now, he's spent half a day here and three or four hundred million, so what does that amount to?
Moreover, if the spiritual energy within this string of prayer beads truly reaches level two, it would be worth buying it for 10 billion.
If it reaches level three... that would be an incredible deal, even buying it for a hundred billion would be a very worthwhile investment.
Three hundred million is really nothing; in Lin Yun's eyes, it's practically free money.
"Three hundred million..."
This once again drew gasps from the audience.
"Three hundred million! This gentleman has bid three hundred million! Are there any other customers willing to offer a higher price?"
On the auction stage, the auctioneer was flushed with excitement and spoke with great enthusiasm.
Three hundred million—this is the highest price ever paid for a single item in the history of their auction house. In fact, this auction price is extremely rare worldwide. It will go down in history, and it is very likely that his name will be recorded in the annals of history.
This is an immense honor.
"Three hundred million..."
Among those spirit hunters, the one who made the bid looked utterly dejected.
At this price, how can they possibly haggle...?
The two sides are not even in the same league.
This price forced them to give up.
They're making money, not losing money. At this price, there's no profit left. If they buy it, they'll only lose money. Besides, can they even buy it?
There's no point in continuing to film.
At this moment, he had completely lost his temper with the owner of Qingyun Restaurant and Qingyun Hotel.
The other party had too much money; the amount they spent was so much... he was convinced.
As spirit hunters, they were simply unlucky to be caught up in this auction.
"I knew this young owner of Qingyun Restaurant wouldn't give up..."
"Three hundred million..."
"Luckily I didn't make a move, otherwise it would have been embarrassing, and I might have even offended them..."
"You can't afford to offend someone like that..."
Some people shook their heads, while others secretly rejoiced.
In the end, Lin Yun won the bid for the Buddhist prayer beads for 300 million.
"Sir, because your spending at our auction house has reached a certain level, you have been upgraded to a top-tier VIP. This is a VIP card that our boss specially asked me to give you. From now on, you can come and view any item in our auction house at any time..." A waiter handed over a gold card with both hands and said very respectfully.
"Okay, I understand. Please tell your boss that you thank him." Lin Yun's heart stirred, and then he nodded slightly and said.
The auction house has a good collection of items; six out of dozens of items possess spirituality, and one of them may even possess level two or higher spirituality. He went to check out the auction house's warehouse; perhaps he could find some good stuff there.
However, since the other party has already given him a VIP card, he can do this whenever he wants.
Now, what he cares about most is the spirituality within this string of Buddhist beads and what level it has reached.
Later, he will also make contact with those who can sense spiritual energy, or even spirituality.
The waiter didn't say anything and respectfully withdrew.
Lin Yun picked up the prayer beads, and a surge of spiritual energy immediately probed into them.
Sure enough, there was a ball of light in the string of prayer beads, and it was also milky white.
"The light of this spiritual energy is indeed much brighter and larger than the level two spiritual energy I obtained last time. However, in terms of quality, it doesn't seem to have improved much. If there are no surprises, it should still be level two spiritual energy..."
Lin Yun felt both relieved and slightly disappointed by this assessment.
The difference between level two and level three spirituality is simply too great.
"Test results: Level 2 spirituality."
As expected, the Cosmic Trading System quickly provided the results, just as Lin Yun had guessed.
This spirituality is indeed at level two.
Level 2 spirituality is not bad; one shouldn't be too greedy.
Right now, he is just missing a level two spirituality.
In a little while, he can buy a professional device to absorb and refine spiritual energy, saving him the trouble of buying spirituality on the cosmic trading system, which will save him at least a thousand spiritual crystals.
It can also improve efficiency by at least 30%.
You can obtain at least two hundred more Spirit Crystals every day.
The quality of this second-level spirituality is even higher than that of the previous second-level spirituality, so the efficiency of the improvement should not be much different.
"Are you Mr. Lin, the owner of Qingyun Company? I am the chairman of Xiangyang Real Estate. I have heard of Qingyun Company's great reputation many times..." At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over, looked at Lin Yun, and said with a smile.
Some very wealthy people also came.
Qingyun Company has only been open for a short time, yet this young boss can afford to spend so much money on antiques. The profits of Qingyun Company are unimaginable. Although Qingyun Company was shut down in the past few days, some people believe that this is just a redistribution of profits.
The fact that this young boss can so leisurely spend so much money on useless things suggests he has a well-thought-out plan and a promising future.
It wouldn't hurt for them to get to know each other now.
"Boss Lin..."
Just then, another wealthy man approached and spoke with a smile.
"Excuse me, I have some things to attend to right now and it's not convenient for me to stay here..." Lin Yun said apologetically to the wealthy men.
As he spoke, Lin Yun strode off in one direction.
"Would it be convenient for us to talk in private for a moment?"
Soon, Lin Yun walked up to the group of spirit seekers and smiled faintly.
What do you want to do?
The group of spirit seekers were about to leave when they saw Lin Yun stop them. They felt a chill run down their spines, and one of them said in a deep voice.
Lin Yun was followed by several bodyguards, each of whom exuded an imposing aura. Furthermore, they had competed with Lin Yun for several auction items, causing him to spend a considerable amount of money. How could they not suspect that Lin Yun might have ill intentions?
To be honest, they originally planned to come and talk to Lin Yun after the auction.
They planned to point out Lin Yun's unethical behavior. If they could bring Lin Yun into the spirit hunter circle, they could try to see if they could lower the entry requirements for spirit hunters to take over the next auction.
After all, Lin Yun had essentially snatched the auction from them.
They brought Lin Yun into the circle of spirit hunters, which was a significant contribution.
However, the auction of the last item completely dispelled their idea.
The other party is clearly not short of money, so what benefit would they gain from joining the spirit hunter circle... to prevent a lose-lose situation? They're not afraid at all!
They were initially very angry, believing they were in the right.
However, after the last item was auctioned off, they became somewhat uneasy.
Because their price gouging caused the other party to spend a lot more money...
Who is really at a disadvantage here?
How can they then justify contacting the other party again?
"Um?"
"This Lin Yun actually went to see those people?"
Seeing that Lin Yun ignored them, the wealthy men were getting angry, but they were taken aback when they saw what was happening.
Those people... if they remember correctly, were they the same group who had just been bidding against Lin Yun?
This group of people made several bids at the auction and competed with Lin Yun several times, so they all remembered it.
"This Lin Yun actually went to find those people..."
"Could they be going to get revenge? After all, these people made him spend so much more money just now..."
"Very likely, that's close to one or two hundred million, which is no small sum..."
"This young man, just from the way he bid, you could tell he had a very domineering personality. People like that are also the most likely to hold grudges, and now it seems that's true. Luckily, I didn't compete with him..."
"Well, I'm glad I didn't compete with him and let such a hothead hold a grudge. Although I'm not afraid of him, he's still a bit of a nuisance..."
Some people were talking about it, while others were secretly relieved.
