Less than half a minute after that offer was made, another person immediately followed suit.
"Thirty-one billion!"
Li Yi wasn't in a hurry. He told them to bid whatever they wanted, and he would step in when they ran out of options.
The auction hall was filled with the sounds of bidding, each bid making hearts race.
"Blue Sky Airlines still has a lot of room for development; whoever gets the rights to it will be a lucrative target!"
"Yes, there aren't many high-quality projects like this."
"The project's quality is one aspect, but the key is that airline licenses are hard to obtain. Even with money, you might not be able to get one. So, Blue Sky Airlines is worth at least a billion just for the license itself!"
A group of wealthy people aren't stupid; they all understand the superior quality of Blue Sky Airlines.
"Three billion!" another voice rang out, and the bidding gradually entered a heated phase.
Li Yi sat in the crowd, a calm smile on his face.
"3.3 billion!" A loud voice broke the brief silence, pushing the bidding to a new high once again.
The atmosphere in the auction room grew increasingly tense with each bid, each raise of the paddle like a silent contest, the eyes of the wealthy gleaming with desire for control of Blue Sky Airlines.
"3.35 billion!" another voice rang out.
Li Yi remained calm because, when it came to spending money, he was second to none.
"Three billion!" The price climbed again, and the competition in the market became even more intense.
At this moment, Zhang Shengyang sent a message in the "Top Brother of Chongqing" group:
"Wow, the auction for 51% of Blue Sky Airlines' shares is fiercely competitive."
Group members asked:
"Where's Boss Wolf? Has he made a move yet?"
Zhang Shengyang: "No, it seems that Boss Wolf isn't very interested in this project."
"It's a pity that Boss Wolf didn't make a move. Otherwise, who could compete with him?!"
A group of wealthy second-generation individuals who were not present at the auction joined Zhang Shengyang's "auction livestream" to participate.
Soon, the price had risen to 4 billion.
4 billion for a 51% stake is already quite high, considering that Blue Sky Airlines only has more than 30 routes, which is far too few compared to the thousands of routes of major airlines.
Now, everyone is weighing whether it's worth raising prices further.
Sure enough, no one else followed suit.
"4 billion at a time."
"4 billion twice."
However, just when everyone thought that 51% of Blue Sky Airlines' shares would be sold for 4 billion, Li Yi made his move.
"8 billion!"
Li Yi's shout of "8 billion" was like a thunderclap, instantly exploding in the auction hall. Everyone looked at him in shock, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
The host was stunned for a moment, then excitedly confirmed, "Eight...eight billion? Boss Wolf offered eight billion!?"
The atmosphere on the field froze instantly, and everyone stared at Li Yi in shock.
This price far exceeds the actual value of 51% of Blue Sky Airlines' equity, but Li Yi seems unconcerned because the higher his bid, the more cashback he can get.
"Holy crap, has Boss Wolf gone mad? 4 billion is basically the limit, and he actually offered 8 billion?"
"Damn! I can only say that Boss Wolf is incredibly rich!"
"Awesome! I'm completely outmatched! With Wolf around, there's no way we can compete with him for anything he wants to buy!"
Everyone present was stunned.
Beside Li Yi, Zhao Qingya and Lin Wanqing stared wide-eyed at him, finding it unbelievable.
However, Li Yi had given them too many surprises, and upon closer reflection, it seemed reasonable that such a thing could happen to him.
Zhang Shengyang was incredibly excited, his blood was practically boiling, as if it wasn't Li Yi who had offered 8 billion but himself.
Zhang Shengyang was spamming the "Top Brother in Chongqing" group:
"Holy crap! Boss Wolf has made a move! Eight billion! That's doubled! Boss Wolf is awesome!"
The group members responded one after another, all of them stunned.
"Impossible, right? Eight billion? That's too outrageous."
"Damn, Wolf's offer is a killer deal! Who would dare to bid?"
"We don't understand Wolf's world, but he must have his reasons for buying it for eight billion."
"Is Boss Wolf going to buy Blue Sky Airlines again and give it to some girl?"
"Possibly! Wolf is absolutely capable of doing such a thing."
The group chat was flooded with messages, one after another; it was an information overload.
After a brief silence in the auction hall, the host spoke again: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Wolf has bid eight billion. Is there anyone else bidding?"
After she said that, everyone stared at the host, Wang Yan.
Damn, eight billion! Who would dare to bid higher?!
After waiting for a while and seeing no one make a bid, the host said:
"Eight billion once."
"Eight billion twice"
"Eight billion three times! Congratulations to Boss Wolf for successfully bidding for 51% of Blue Sky Airlines!"
As the gavel fell, the atmosphere in the auction hall erupted once again.
Li Yi's actions have once again ignited today's auction.
Zhang Shengyang then spammed the group chat: "Boss Wolf is indeed far ahead, no one dares to bid. Congratulations Boss Wolf! Buying 51% of Blue Sky Airlines for 8 billion, that's awesome! It makes my blood boil."
"Congratulations, Boss Wolf! Congratulations, Boss Wolf! Boss Wolf is awesome!"
"Congratulations, Boss Wolf! Congratulations, Boss Wolf! Boss Wolf is awesome!"
"Congratulations, Boss Wolf! Congratulations, Boss Wolf! Boss Wolf is awesome!"
......
In the "Top Brothers of the Mountain City" group, everyone stood in neat rows, cheering for Li Yi's move.
