Just then, Lin Jianshen's voice rang out.
Five hundred million!
Gao Yan calmly announced another number.
Lin Jianshen was taken aback, and the room fell silent again. A bid jump of 390 million was just a random offer, or was someone trying to cause trouble?
"Whose young master is this Gao Yan? I've never heard of him before."
"It shouldn't be someone from the Deep Sea. There isn't any wealthy person with the surname Gao in the Deep Sea who has such great wealth!"
"He seems to know Lin Yiyi. Could it be that he's spending a fortune to attract the beauty's attention?"
"That's possible!"
...
While everyone was discussing and speculating...
Even the unprofessional auctioneer snapped out of his daze: "Ahem, Mr. Gao, excuse me, but I'd like to confirm, is your bid five hundred million?"
"Yes, five hundred million!"
Gao Yan nodded.
Immediately, the auctioneer's face flushed: "Mr. Gao has bid 500 million. Is there anyone else who will offer a higher price?"
Wealthy people who don't recognize spirit stones will naturally not make any offers.
Donating a few million to charity is fine, but asking them to donate 500 million to charity all at once is something no one present would be willing to do, not even Lin Jianshen.
Although he is passionate about charity, he does it to gain a good reputation. Although he has donated more than 2 billion yuan, it is all accumulated over decades.
"Five hundred million for the first time, is there any bidding higher?"
"Five hundred million, for the second time!"
"Five hundred million for the third time! Congratulations, Mr. Gao, this gem is back in your hands!" The auctioneer slammed his gavel down, his voice high and excited.
He's an amateur auctioneer, yet he managed to preside over an auction for 500 million yuan—enough for him to boast about for a lifetime.
"Congratulations, Mr. Gao!"
Sally and Antalya, who were standing nearby, also chimed in.
"Why!"
Gao Yan sighed softly, "He had eyes but couldn't recognize a gem inlaid with gold."
"Mr. Gao, what do you mean by that?"
Sally asked curiously.
“If I told you that this gem is actually worth 2 billion, would you believe me?” Gao Yan asked Sally.
Sally said calmly, "Mr. Gao, you must be joking. Although this gem is valuable, it hasn't been polished. Its value shouldn't exceed 100 million Daxia coins, how could it be worth 2 billion!"
Gao Yan explained in a deep voice, "This is no ordinary gemstone. It contains an extremely magical energy. A gemstone without energy is only worth a little over 100 million, but a gemstone with energy is definitely worth 2 billion!"
Upon hearing this, Sally couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.
Suddenly, a thought struck her: the divine medicine seemed to contain several undetectable substances. Could these substances be related to the energy within the gemstone?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Gao, could you sell me one of these gems?"
Aren't you afraid I'm lying to you?
Gao Yan asked with a smile.
"A mere two billion Great Xia coins, Mr. Gao, you don't need to go to such lengths!"
Sally said confidently, "Gao Yan isn't in a hurry to pay the $20 billion in goods, so why would he deceive them for $2 billion in gems!"
Coincidentally, Lin Jianshen arrived with the spirit stone and overheard Sally saying she was going to spend 2 billion to buy the gem.
Suddenly, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Could there be some hidden secret about this gemstone?
