Chapter 1921: Let him be a little white rabbit!
When the black billionaire shouted the price of 800 million USD, the old Nordic Empress instantly felt like a deflated ball, slumping into her chair with empty eyes that also revealed a hint of unwillingness.
This price had already exceeded her ability to bear.
Even if it were sold to her at this price, she would not be able to come up with so much money.
Therefore, she knew very well in her heart that she was completely finished with the Rejuvenation Pill.
At this moment, many people at the scene had also begun to whisper privately.
Everyone knew that these five portions of the Rejuvenation Pill tonight would definitely go higher and higher like a staircase, so the price of this first portion was equivalent to laying the foundation and setting the tone for the subsequent ones.
If its price were driven too high, the prices of the later Rejuvenation Pills would likely explode to heaven-defying levels.
At this very moment, Li Tailai's mindset was on the verge of collapse.
He cursed inwardly: "750 million! And it's in USD! Converted, that's over 4 billion RMB, just to bid for this quarter of a Rejuvenation Pill—isn't this fucking enough?!"
After saying this, he tugged violently at his own hair, struggling with whether or not to continue and bid 810 million.
But just as he was hesitating, that Middle Eastern billionaire who had bid before but had been quiet for a while raised his hand again and said in a deep voice: "1 billion!"
Hearing this number, Li Tailai felt a surge of anger rush straight to his crown, and he cursed in his heart: "1 billion—is this fucking letting others live or not?!"
Before he could react, the black billionaire raised his hand again: "I bid 1.1 billion!"
And that Middle Eastern billionaire seemed to have a sudden burst of stamina, blurting out almost without delay: "1.2 billion!"
The black billionaire gritted his teeth and said with an unchanging expression: "1... 1.3 billion!"
From 1 billion to 1.3 billion, it took less than ten seconds.
The scene was once again in an uproar.
Some who had originally been determined to win the Rejuvenation Pill had already completely abandoned the idea of competing for it in the depths of their hearts.
Because in their existing mindset, they felt that no matter how magical this medicine was, at this price, it was already "absurdity opening the door for absurdity"—absurd to the extreme.
Some people had even begun to watch the show.
Because they felt that now that the price of this quarter of a Rejuvenation Pill had been hyped up to the sky-high price of 1.3 billion USD, whoever bought this portion would surely regret their impulsiveness after taking it.
Taking advantage of everyone's exclamations, a domestic billionaire whispered to the person beside him: "Damn, this bunch of people are fucking crazy, they actually bid 1.3 billion USD?! What is the concept of 1.3 billion USD? If you used it to buy Airbus A320 planes, you could fucking buy 20 of them!"
A Chinese-American beside him asked with a smile: "You're really interesting, how did you think of using planes for comparison?"
That person said: "Because I run an airline myself. You have to know, there are at least a dozen airlines in the country whose fleet size doesn't even reach 20. The most miserable one, Daxinghua Airlines, counting all their assets, only has three planes in total. This is fucking great—trading twenty planes for a quarter of a pill that isn't even confirmed to be that awesome? Can you handle this?"
The people around them couldn't help but nod involuntarily.
They also felt that using the money for 20 planes to buy a quarter of a pill was truly unacceptable.
However, even if others felt it was unacceptable, Li Tailai was still unwilling to give up.
He had truly experienced the magical effects of the Rejuvenation Pill and knew that this medicine brought people not just health, but also more and more precious time.
To him, twenty planes were indeed a lot, but they were not as important as longevity.
Thus, he gritted his teeth hard and roared: "I bid 10 billion! RMB!"
Song Wanting said helplessly: "No. 055, this auction uses USD for bidding uniformly. Please pay attention and re-report your price."
Li Tailai hurriedly said: "Miss Song, my brain can no longer calculate the exchange rate. Please help me see how much 10 billion RMB is in USD!"
Song Wanting calculated it with a calculator prepared in advance on the auction stage and said: "About 1.6 billion or so."
Li Tailai nodded and said with extreme indignation: "Then 1.6 billion!"
Li Tailai thought to himself: "10 billion RMB is my limit. Instead of dragging it out with these two bastards like a slow knife cutting meat, it's better to just go hard and raise it by 300 million USD—let's see who the fuck dares to follow!"
Just when Li Tailai felt that his furious price hike would surely scare off the other two, what he didn't expect was that both of them raised their hands almost simultaneously.
The Middle Eastern billionaire shouted: "I bid 1.7 billion!"
The black billionaire was even more ferocious, blurting out: "2 billion! I bid 2 billion!"
Li Tailai's psychological defense line was completely crushed, and he instantly gave up.
He slumped into his chair, his back already completely soaked with cold sweat.
He knew he couldn't follow anymore. ===== CHAPTER 1922 =====
