Chapter 327: Give Him A Small Stool

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Yining led Huo Tingchen into the auction venue.

While other guests all had exclusive VIP seats, Huo Tingchen was assigned a simple little stool, which was placed in the last row, near the corridor.

The people standing next to them were the bodyguards of the various families…

“Mr. Huo, please take a seat.”

Ah Man said politely.

Huo Tingchen raised an eyebrow, glanced at the chair, and asked with a smile, “Is this the only chair I deserve for paying two million yuan for the entrance fee?”

“The others paid ten times more than you. It’s already good enough that you have a seat. Don’t be unsatisfied.” Jiang Yining smiled and didn’t show any disrespect.

Huo Tingchen knew she did it on purpose.

No wonder she had instructed her assistant to prepare a special chair for him.

So this was his plan.

He didn’t expect Lu Zhi to marry such an interesting wife. Every time they met, she showed a different side.

The bodyguard standing next to Huo Tingchen couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up, “You guys are too much!”

“If you find us bullying, you can leave. The ship hasn’t left the shore yet anyway. As for your two million, I will return it all to you. 1 will not covet a single cent.”

Jiang Yining never intended to let them come up.

It was Huo Tingchen who insisted on boarding.

She couldn’t wait for them to go down!

The bodyguard wanted to argue further.

Huo Tingchen gave him a warning look. “Since when is it your turn to speak?”

The bodyguard immediately fell silent.

Huo Tingchen then said to Jiang Yining, “I’m very satisfied with this seat.

Thank you, Miss Jiang.”

After he finished speaking, he sat down calmly.

Jiang Yining lowered her eyes and stared at him for a while.

She found it boring.

She then left with All Man

The bodyguard squatted in front of Huo Tingchen and whispered, “Sir, do you want me to get you another chair?”

“No need. When you’re out, keep a low profile and don’t attract attention.

Otherwise, 1 will punish you,” Huo Tingchen said coldly.

The bodyguard understood that his earlier words had displeased Mr. Huo.

He silently retreated to the side and dared not say anything else.

Jiang Yining went backstage and asked for the name list of all the participants in the auction. Other than the Tao family, there were also many major companies from all over the country and overseas.

Lu Zhi knew better than her which ones were suspicious.

The two of them studied it for a moment.

Lu Zhi marked out seven or eight companies and said, “These are all suspicious. 1 can’t guarantee that I’m ioo% familiar with the other companies, but 1 have a general understanding.”

Most of them were reputable companies or had never ventured into the field of Curium before.

They came to the auction, presumably to buy and officially enter the research in this direction.

After all, the economic market was changing rapidly. If they didn’t grasp the latest signs and lagged behind other companies, they might be abandoned by the times.

Therefore, every time something new appeared, especially involving various aspects of the economy, the world’s top companies would be the first to understand.

“Okay, I’ll have people keep a close eye on them. In addition, we’ll also pay attention to their bids.”

Jiang Yining held the name list tightly.

If they succeeded in luring the snake into the cave, they would be able to find Lin Yan and Lu Beicheng.

All her efforts wouldn’t be in vain.

Lu Zhi sensed her tension, held her hand, and kissed her forehead, saying softly, “Don’t be afraid. No matter what happens, 1 will fight alongside you. Yining, don’t forget that you still have me.”

Jiang Yining nodded solemnly.

Yeah.

She was no longer alone.

Instead, she had his company.

No matter how powerful the enemy was, there was no need to be afraid.

The auction was about to officially begin.

Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi didn’t have much time either.

After parting ways, she went to instruct Ah Man to redistribute the manpower.

Ah Man efficiently led the team to set up the venue.

When everyone was ready.

The host on stage also made his appearance. In fluent English, he briefly introduced the background, function, and prospect of Curium. “Alright, now everyone understands the preciousness of this thing. We will officially begin the auction. The starting bid is 2 billion dollars. Each bid increases by io million. After each bid, there will be a three-minute countdown. If no one bids, it automatically becomes a deal. If anyone continues to bid, the bidding will continue for another three minutes.”

“The rules have been clearly introduced. Dear investors, please generously state your price and bring this rare loo-liter Curium home!”

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Three bells rang.

Someone immediately made a bid.

“2.1 billion!”

“2.2 billion!”

“2.4 billion!”

All the bidders were big shots who didn’t care about the ten million increments.

At the beginning, they kept increasing the price by hundreds of millions of dollars!

Elder Tao, who was sitting in the crowd, instantly felt his heart turn cold.

Previously, the Tao family had already suffered a considerable loss in the auction with Lu Zhi. Recently, their funds were tight, so they hadn’t prepared too much. He only had 10 billion USD.

But judging by the lively atmosphere in the venue, it seemed like io billion wouldn’t be enough.

Just as he had expected, in less than ten minutes.

The price was raised to six billion dollars!

Elder Tao couldn’t hold back anymore and raised his sign. “6.5 billion dollars.”

A full 100-liter of Curium!

This could support the research on efficient new energy for his company.

At that time, he would work with Jiang Yining.

He wanted her to sell him the method to synthesize Curium at a reasonable price.

Or cooperate with him…

A win-win situation. The Tao family and the Lu family would undoubtedly dominate the new energy market!

That profit wasn’t just a few tens of billions of dollars. It was a wealth that could rival a country!

It could even be trillions!

Elder Tao felt his blood boil just thinking about it.

“Our Old Master Tao is indeed generous! A high bid of 6.5 billion on the first try! All the other investors present, wave your bidding cards, and let me see your enthusiasm! Now is the time to bid. You might miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity if you don’t. Aren’t you all tempted? Don’t be stingy with this small amount of money. If the research on Curium is successful, it will bring you benefits a thousand or even ten thousand times greater!”

The host passionately stirred up the atmosphere.

Gu Zhanqing raised his bidding sign. “Seven billion.”

Elder Tao was so irritated by this guy that he snorted. This bastard!

Were they not family with Jiang Yining? Why was he meddling? If he wanted Curium, he could just ask Jiang Yining directly.

Gu Zhanqing sensed Elder Tao’s unfriendly gaze and turned to look at him.

He immediately understood what he meant.

There was no change in his expression, but he thought coldly in his heart.

How could he not want to ask Yining for these directly?

It was not like he had so much money that he had nowhere to spend it.

Didn’t he participate in the auction because she wouldn’t give it to him easily?

The two exchanged glances for a moment.

Elder Tao, determined, shouted, “Eight billion!”
