Chapter 1932: Shura field

After experiencing the auction of several ordinary collectibles, the auction was nearing its end.

The auction for the fourth portion of the Rejuvenation Pill was about to begin. Ye Chen said to Song Wanting on the auction stage through the intercom system: "Wanting, before the fourth portion of the Rejuvenation Pill starts, you must give a friendly reminder. If anyone is still waiting to bid for the final whole Rejuvenation Pill, but their economic strength is slightly risky, advise them to play it safe and win the fourth portion of the Rejuvenation Pill first. Otherwise, it is very likely they will end up with nothing."

Song Wanting understood and immediately said: "Next is the last of the four portions of the Rejuvenation Pill tonight. I believe everyone has witnessed the magical effects of the first three portions, and I also believe that there must be many people present who are very regretful for missing out on the first three. So for the last portion of the Rejuvenation Pill, please seize the opportunity as much as possible and don't miss the final chance."

Saying this, Song Wanting added: "Besides this, I also want to give a friendly reminder to some bidders who are aiming for the final whole Rejuvenation Pill: the competition for the final auction will definitely be very fierce. If you want to compete for this Rejuvenation Pill, you must consider the situation at the scene and your own economic strength comprehensively. If you feel that the hope of competition is somewhat slim, I personally suggest you seize the opportunity of the last portion of the Rejuvenation Pill. Otherwise, it is very likely you will end up with nothing."

Song Wanting's words made several buyers with stronger strength at the scene feel somewhat uncomfortable.

After seeing the effects of the first portion of the Rejuvenation Pill, they had made up their minds to find a way to bid for that final whole Rejuvenation Pill no matter what.

But how could they have expected that the first portion of the Rejuvenation Pill would sell for 2 billion, but the second portion would suddenly increase fivefold!

By the third portion, the price had already reached 18.5 billion.

If calculated according to this price, the price of that final whole Rejuvenation Pill would be 18.5 billion multiplied by 4, which would be 74 billion.

If it really reached this price level, most of them actually wouldn't have a chance to compete for the final Rejuvenation Pill.

Therefore, Song Wanting was right: if they didn't put in some effort to compete for this final portion, they would have no chance at all tonight.

This also made many people inwardly curse the organizers of the Rejuvenation Pill.

Because, in their view, the rules of the Rejuvenation Pill auction were simply too shitty.

First, it had to be won and taken on the spot and couldn't be taken away, which cut off the possibility of them reselling it at a higher price, or splitting it up for sale, or crowdfunding to buy it together.

Otherwise, four rich people could pool their funds to compete for that final Rejuvenation Pill and then split it into four portions—that cost might be more cost-effective than constantly fighting like this;

What was even shittier was that whether you competed for a quarter of a Rejuvenation Pill or a whole Rejuvenation Pill, you only had one chance to succeed.

If you wanted to win a quarter of a Rejuvenation Pill first to be safe and then go compete for the final one, that was also wishful thinking; the rules simply wouldn't give you that chance.

Therefore, they now had to make a choice and a decision: either go all-in and wait for the final one, or try to compete for this last portion of the Rejuvenation Pill. If they succeeded, at least they would have a portion of the Rejuvenation Pill in their pocket and wouldn't end up empty-handed.

Thus, many billionaires who originally didn't want to participate in the bidding for the fourth portion of the Rejuvenation Pill also immediately joined in.

This made the bidding for the fourth portion of the Rejuvenation Pill even more intense.

The reason Ye Chen let Song Wanting remind everyone was also because he didn't want the transaction price of the fourth portion of the Rejuvenation Pill to be lower than the previous one.

After all, when the previous one was auctioned, the bidders' bids had basically reached their limit. If the competitors aiming for the final Rejuvenation Pill weren't diverted over, the transaction price of the fourth portion of the Rejuvenation Pill would inevitably be lower than the previous one.

However, after successful diversion, the price of the fourth portion of the Rejuvenation Pill soared rapidly.

The price of 18.5 billion USD for the previous one was quickly broken through, and it soared, breaking through the 20 billion USD mark.

And at this time, only three people hadn't bid from beginning to end.

These three people were Fei Jianzhong, Huo Yuanzheng, and the "King of Matching Goods"—Bernard Arnault.

At this very moment, the only thing the three of them were thinking about was to spare no cost to win the final Rejuvenation Pill.

Soon, the price of the fourth portion of the Rejuvenation Pill rose all the way, breaking through the 20 billion USD mark.

The higher the price of the fourth portion of the Rejuvenation Pill, the more nervous the other bidders who had originally wanted to compete for the final Rejuvenation Pill felt in their hearts.

Because they felt more and more that if they didn't seize the opportunity to win this portion, they would inevitably return empty-handed tonight.

The price of that final Rejuvenation Pill could never be lower than 60 or 70 billion USD.

Although calculated by splitting it up, each quarter was less than 20 billion, but the key point was that the 60 or 70 billion USD later on exceeded the payment ability of the vast majority of people.

The rules also restricted them from pooling money to buy, so those who didn't have enough money could only settle for the next best thing. Even if the unit price after such splitting was more expensive, they could only accept it.

The reason they came to participate in the Rejuvenation Pill auction was mostly because they were over seventy years old and had various diseases, and many were even suffering from terminal illnesses.

Once they entered this state of counting the days of their remaining life, money, to them, became less important. ===== CHAPTER 1933 =====
