Chapter 613

After Wang Zhenggang bid 1.1 billion, Qin Gang also felt that he had to show some means; otherwise, he would likely miss out on this Rejuvenation Pill.

So he gritted his teeth and said: "Since Brother Wang has already bid up to 1.1 billion, then I will bid up to 1.2 billion."

Li Tailai didn't care too much; he was inherently richer than Qin Gang and Wang Zhenggang combined, so 1.2 billion or 1.5 billion made no big difference to him.

But he was determined to get this Rejuvenation Pill.

So he said with an indifferent expression: "Since that's the case, then I will bid directly up to 2 billion."

As soon as the words fell, the scene was boiling.

From 1.2 billion to 2 billion, this was simply the most unbelievable and extravagant auction everyone had ever seen.

What is the concept of 2 billion in cash? If the monthly pocket money is 10 million, then 2 billion is enough to spend for nearly 17 years.

If this 2 billion is deposited in a bank, calculated at an annual interest rate of 5%, the interest alone is 100 million per year.

Calculated this way, the interest alone is more than 8 million per month.

This is simply an astronomical figure that ordinary people, or even average tycoons, cannot imagine.

But for a tycoon at the 10-billion level like Li Tailai, this is nothing more than one-twentieth or one-thirtieth of his assets.

Li Tailai had struggled for half his life, and he earned money to enjoy it, to live better and more freely, so buying a Rejuvenation Pill for 2 billion was simply too cost-effective for him.

So when he reported this price, he didn't feel any heartache at all.

But Wang Zhenggang and Qin Gang, at this very moment, felt a deep sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

Behind these two people were families of considerable scale, and each family had dozens of direct and collateral relatives, which meant dozens of mouths waiting to eat.

Take Qin Gang for example, the Qin family's assets were not on the scale of 10 billion; if he gritted his teeth and took out 2 billion, it wasn't impossible, but the Qin family's assets didn't belong to Qin Gang alone. If he used 2 billion to buy a Rejuvenation Pill, his own money wouldn't be enough; he would have to use the family's money.

In this way, the family would definitely have a lot of opinions.

After all, there was only one Rejuvenation Pill, and it couldn't be divided for everyone to eat.

So he could only cup his hands helplessly toward Li Tailai and said: "Li Zong is truly extraordinary, I admire you."

Wang Zhenggang's situation was no better than Qin Gang's, and in terms of strength, the Wang family's strength was even a notch weaker than the Qin family's.

What's more, the two descendants of the Wang family, Wang Yunfei and Wang Yunkai, had offended Ye Chen and lost the qualification for cooperation with the Dihao Group, which also caused the Wang family to lose quite a bit.

So now the Wang family could only shrink back when facing the price of 2 billion.

Seeing that no one was competing with him, Li Tailai breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he didn't show any pride, nor did he express his joy, but cupped his hands toward Wang Zhenggang and Qin Gang, and said humbly: "Brother Wang, Brother Qin, thank you both for yielding. Another day, I will definitely visit to thank you!"

Wang Zhenggang and Qin Gang also said very humbly: "Li Zong is too polite, it is Li Zong's extraordinary strength that we cannot reach."

Everyone couldn't help but marvel at the harmony between these three.

A Rejuvenation Pill with a starting price of 150 million was bid up to 2 billion by the three of them, but these three could still not get angry or blush, and each of them had a very grand demeanor, which was truly praiseworthy.

At this time, Li Tailai looked at Ye Chen and said respectfully: "Master Ye, since no one else is bidding with me, then I will boldly bid for this Rejuvenation Pill of yours."

Ye Chen nodded gently, handed the Rejuvenation Pill directly to him, and said: "Since that's the case, then this Rejuvenation Pill is yours!"

Li Tailai didn't dare to take this Rejuvenation Pill and hurriedly said: "Master Ye, I haven't paid yet, I am ashamed to accept it. I will call the company's finance department now and transfer the money to your account immediately."

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, took out his black card, handed it to Li Tailai, and said: "This is my card, just transfer the money into this card."

Kong Delong was stunned by this card; wasn't this the top-tier black card of Citibank?

It seemed that there were no more than five people in the whole country who had this card.

And Citibank's privacy protection for top-tier black card clients was very, very strong. What kind of background did this Ye Chen have? How could he have this card?

At this time, Ye Chen suddenly looked at Kong Delong and said with a smile: "Young Master Kong, your necklace is worth 20 million dollars, and my Rejuvenation Pill is worth 2 billion RMB. Who is higher and who is lower, I suppose I don't need to say, right?"

Kong Delong's expression was extremely ugly.

What kind of birds are this bunch of people? Buying a strength-boosting pill for 2 billion, are they sick in the head?

But cursing didn't help; after all, he had already let the words out, and now he simply didn't know how to end it.

Did he really have to swallow this bullshit ruby necklace?

Swallowing is easy, but what if it gets stuck in the intestines and can't be pulled out?

But if he doesn't swallow it, how will he end it today?

After all, those harsh words were all said by himself; he couldn't go back on his word in public.

But thinking carefully, going back on his word in public wasn't impossible; anyway, he didn't know anyone in Jin Ling, so he wasn't afraid of this bunch of people gossiping behind his back.

But thinking again, he still planned to develop with Song Wanting; if he lost such a big face in public today, and he went back on his word, then it wouldn't be so easy to impress Song Wanting in the future.

Just when he was hesitant, Chen Zekai suddenly shook the phone in his hand and said: "Young Master Kong, I have recorded the whole thing just now. If you, the dignified third young master of the Kong family, go back on your word, then I will send this video to the Yanjing circle. I hope Young Master Kong can weigh it yourself."

Kong Delong looked at Chen Zekai, dumbfounded, and said angrily: "President Chen, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to mess with me like this?"

Chen Zekai said indifferently: "Young Master Kong, you are being a bit unreasonable by saying that. I, Chen Zekai, have always been fair in doing things, always helping reason, not relatives. Today's matter, you were the one who provoked first, and the bet was also reached by you and Master Ye. Why do you want to go back on your word now? Just because you are the third young master of the Kong family, can you not keep your word? I remember your father Kong Lingyong and your grandfather Kong Xiangyan have been in the world for decades, and they are all famous for keeping their word and being trustworthy. Has it really started to go downhill since your generation?"

Kong Delong's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this.

He didn't expect Chen Zekai to know his father and grandfather so well.

The surname Kong is a descendant of the sage, and even the generation characters are unified worldwide. The more common generation characters of the modern Kong clan are generally "Qing Fan Xiang Ling De".

Kong Delong is of the "De" generation.

And Kong Lingyong is his father.

The Kong family of the Yanjing lineage being able to walk step by step to today is inseparable from the unremitting efforts of Kong Delong's ancestors of several generations.

And their ancestors, even up to his father's and grandfather's generation, also paid special attention to credibility, always saying one thing and meaning another.

Kong Delong knew very well in his heart that if Chen Zekai really sent this video to the Yanjing circle, the Kong family would surely lose face and become a laughingstock.

Once the Kong family knew that he had gone back on his word today, he would be finished. His grandfather would surely punish him with family law, and might even lock him in the family for two or three years.

Thinking of this, he was extremely angry in his heart.

At the same time, he also regretted it immensely!

As the saying goes, if I had known today, why would I have done it in the beginning?
