The voice was not loud, but there was a joking tone in the speaker's voice.
Xu Mengqing turned her head in surprise because the voice came from right next to her. The speaker was the Childe. He blinked and said with a smile, "Miss Xu, you've bought the bulk. Leave some leftovers for us."
Seeing that it was him who was raising the price, Xu Mengqing forced a smile. "Brother Chu, you must be joking. My previous boxes are not as much as this one. The bulk is the bulk, but it's just a sucker."
Brother Chu crossed his fingers and moved his two thumbs together. His playful intention was obvious. "The whole Holy Grail Federation dares to let Miss Xu be a sucker?
I'm afraid there is no such person, right?
Captain Lu, what do you think? "
He asked casually and shifted the pressure to the Extreme Pirate Corps. Lu Ming was quite calm and said with a smile, "Of course, of course."
"The highest bidder gets it. This is the rule set by Miss Xu before, isn't it?"
Another voice suddenly appeared. "I'll pay 45 billion star coins. I don't know if this rule is still a rule?"
Xu Mengqing's face darkened. She never expected that the strong opponent who appeared at the last moment was actually — Mr. Hu!
Brother Chu's eyes narrowed into a line. "I didn't know that Mr. Hu's ability to make money is really good."
Mr. Hu smiled and said, "Money can only be earned if you know how to spend it. How can you make money if you don't spend it?
Brother Chu, don't you think it makes sense? "
Brother Chu also smiled. "But Mr. Hu, you suddenly spent 4 billion. Isn't it a bit unreasonable?"
Mr. Hu smiled. "It depends on who is reasonable. I believe that Brother Chu and Miss Xu are both reasonable people. At least I abide by the rules. Do I look like I'm bidding randomly?"
In this place, the reason was money. Whoever had more money would be the reason. Without enough money, it would sound like a joke no matter how much you said.
Ding Meng finally realized that Xu Mengqing must have received orders from the Star Rainbow Group to retrieve the supplies.
Brother Chu of the Haitian Group had not participated in the bidding because he wanted to jump out at the last moment to snipe at the Xinhong Group. In fact, the Haitian Group was not qualified to compete with the Xinhong Group. The real qualified one was the Shenghao Group. No one had expected that Mr. Hu, who had been making a small fuss at the beginning and then swallowing his anger, would not show his true colors until now. This guy was actually entrusted by the Shenghao Group.
Ding Meng used his telekinesis vision to secretly glance at Lu Ming on the stage. He found that Lu Ming had a smile on his face and looked confident. It seemed that the situation in front of him had long been within his expectations.
But so what?
None of this had anything to do with him. He could not wait for the families to quarrel. Only then would he have a chance to fish in troubled waters.
Little Rascal said, "The total price of the containers that have been sold is 55 billion GC, so the labor cost is 11 billion GC. If Extreme Bandit and Rich Bird divide it equally, you will get 5.5 billion GC. Extreme Bandit will also pay you 15% of the consulting service fee. Hahaha, Ding Meng, you will get 825 million GC. You are finally rich. Now we can go buy a warframe, wahahaha …"
Ding Meng saw her jumping around happily in his field of vision. He directly poured a bucket of cold water on her. "Naive and childish!"
Little Rascal was immediately dissatisfied. "What did I calculate wrong?"
Ding Meng sighed secretly. "Do you really think someone like Lu Ming would pay such a huge sum of money to someone they don't trust at all?"
Little Rascal was stunned. "But … didn't that guy just say it?
He promised you personally in front of everyone. "
Ding Meng said coldly, "You are still naive. This guy is playing a real game of chess. Don't underestimate him. If you don't believe me, you can continue to watch …"
…
At this time, the bidding war between Xu Mengqing and the other two parties had risen to an astonishing number of 56 billion Star Coins. However, judging from the different expressions of the three people, it seemed that they had no intention of stopping.
Brother Chu still looked so lazy. He raised the price unhurriedly. "57 billion."
Mr. Hu picked up a large cup and drank water with a "Zi Zi Zi" sound, "58 billion."
Brother Chu smiled. "Mr. Hu, are you thirsty?"
Mr. Hu glanced at the beautiful Xu Mengqing beside him and replied calmly, "Yes, if I were 40 or 50 years younger, I would probably be even thirstier than Brother Chu."
Brother Chu's face changed. "60 billion."
Mr. Hu snorted disdainfully. "62 billion."
Brother Chu gritted his teeth. "65 billion."
Mr. Hu was very calm. "68 billion …"
…
Everyone in the venue stared at the two people's bidding in a daze. The number of "one billion" came out of their mouths as if it were a joke.
"90 billion!"
Xu Mengqing, who had been silent, finally lost her temper. She didn't make a sound, but once she made a sound, she must suppress these two people.
"Ahem!"
Lu Ming was also frightened. Of course, he hoped that the price would rise as high as possible, but there had to be a limit to how high it was. If it was really too high, it didn't matter who the flower went to. The other two families who didn't get the flower would probably vent their anger on him.
"Honorable guests, harmony is the most important thing." Lu Ming stopped them in time.
Brother Chu's face didn't look good, and Mr. Hu also fell silent. Both of them didn't expect that Xu Mengqing really dared to bid a super high price of 90 billion. This price was unacceptable to them.
In fact, this price also exceeded Xu Mengqing's own psychological bottom line. However, the senior management of Xinghong Group had instructed that the two most important things in this batch of containers could be bought by others, but they could never fall into the hands of Shenghao Group.
As for what these two things were, even the senior management didn't know. The senior management only told her the serial numbers of the two things.
However, these bastards erased the serial numbers, and there happened to be an authoritative expert like "Wild Wolf" on the scene, which made her realize that the last two boxes must be what the senior management wanted.
Lu Ming smiled cautiously and said, "Miss Xu, do you need to sell the goods on the spot?"
Xu Mengqing said with a cold face, "No, take it away!"
Lu Ming took a deep breath and said, "Well, there is only one container left in this transaction. Please continue."
When the twelfth box was carried in, Ding Meng was silent again.
Brother Chu regained his joking expression. "Brother Wolf, do you want to set a high price this time?"
Mr. Hu also said, "50 billion or 100 billion?
Let's make it clear first. If the price is too high this time, I will withdraw first. "
Xu Mengqing was very straightforward. "Mr. Wolf, please set the price."
Ding Meng smiled. "Sorry, I won't set the price this time."
The three of them were all stunned. What was going on?
What else could it be? Ding Meng's Psyche Power couldn't enter the box at all, because he just tried again and still couldn't get in.
However, he also knew that the last box was definitely not garbage, but he didn't want to set the price because the situation was unclear. The situation seemed calm, but in fact, it was dangerous. He decided to get himself out of it first.
"Everyone, I'm very sorry. I don't know what's in it." Ding Meng told the truth.
This was his habitual gamble. He was betting that this group of people would not believe his honest words.
Sure enough, Brother Chu was surprised. "Brother Wolf, you can't identify it with your ability?"
Ding Meng spread out his hands and said, "I'm sorry. I'm not good at it."
Brother Chu pondered and said, "In this case, I'll pay 50 million star coins as a token of appreciation."
"Yes, it's the last batch of goods. It's boring if we hurt each other." Mr. Hu also agreed. "I'll pay 100 million."
Xu Mengqing was expressionless. "One billion!"
Brother Chu turned his head and looked at her with an unnatural questioning look. "Miss Xu, it's not good for you to behave like this."
Xu Mengqing asked back, "What do you think is good?"
Brother Chu was slightly dissatisfied. "You've eaten the meat. Don't you want to leave the soup for us?"
Mr. Hu smiled confidently. "I see that Miss Xu likes soup. I'll entertain you in this last round. I'll pay two billion."
Brother Chu was obviously not to be outdone. He spread out his palm and said, "Five billion."
"Ten billion!" Every time Xu Mengqing offered a price, the other two families were really unprepared.
Actually, she wasn't shouting for no reason. Her main purpose was to use a thunderous momentum to suppress the other two families and show her determination to win.
Sure enough, after she offered a price of 10 billion yuan, Mr. Hu looked at her thoughtfully and stopped raising the price. There was no other reason than that he was dubious about Ding Meng's "no price".
The starting price of the last box of goods Ding Meng was 30 billion. At least it was a reference standard. You could at least not lose money if you offered so much money. But this time there was no reference standard. It was not clear whether there was a cow or a horse in the box. Mr. Hu dared not to take such a risk. The style of Shenghao Group had always been not based on risky gambling.
The purpose of Mr. Hu's trip was completely different from Xu Mengqing's. Shenghao Group also knew that the goods were from Xinghong Group. They did not intend to compete with Xinghong Group at all. They sent Mr. Hu out just to go through the motions and disgust Xu Mengqing.
Anyway, Xu Mengqing had already spent 90 billion. She had also stolen a box of chickens. It could be said that this trip was not in vain. It was completely enough.
Therefore, only Brother Chu was left to compete in the venue. Brother Chu's way of bidding was lukewarm. He raised the price by two billion at a time. The current price soared to 17 billion.
"20 billion!" Xu Mengqing was still strong.
Brother Chu suddenly smiled meaningfully. "Miss Xu, you have a good appetite."
Xu Mengqing said lightly, "I'm not as good as you, Fourth Childe Chu."
Brother Chu finally loosened his hands and raised them. "25 billion!"
Originally, everyone thought that Xu Mengqing, who was full of heroic spirit, would fight back in a more exaggerated way. Unexpectedly, this time she was not angry. She sat there with a cold face and no longer spoke.
Little Rascal felt strange. "What's the matter?
She could take out 90 billion just now. Now she can't take out 25 billion? "
Ding Meng sighed. "It's obvious that her trump card has been known by her opponent in advance."
