Chapter 150: The Son of The Richest Person in Jiangnan! [30th 6/13]
But Chen Suyi was different.
In the three years since her debut, which was at the peak, she had remained extremely popular and surely earned a lot of money, so naturally, she could compete in the bidding.
Moreover, if she really did buy it, she would probably give one to each of Jiang Xuezhun's three women.
Xu Hao patted Chen Suyi on the shoulder.
Chen Suyi was concentrating on the numbers flickering on the big screen, ready to raise her bid at any moment, when Xu Hao suddenly patted her shoulder. She flinched away as if electrocuted and said, "What do you want, Xu Da Liu|Hooligan?!"
After she spoke, she suddenly covered her mouth.
And the crowd turned to look.
Why did Chen Suyi call Xu Hao a hooligan?
Could it be that Xu Hao had taken liberties with her?
Le Wanqing was so angry that his fists clenched tightly, creaking with the desire to beat Xu Hao to a pulp right then and there. He'd never even touched any part of Chen Suyi, yet Xu Hao had taken liberties with her!
What's more infuriating was that Chen Suyi was still with him!
Xu Hao laughed, "Nothing. With the rate at which you all are bidding, when will there ever be a high bid? Let me handle it."
"Pssh! You think everyone's like you, a nouveau riche!" Chen Suyi sneered, but she agreed nonetheless.
She figured she'd just take one after the auction ended and then give Xu Hao the money. Chen Suyi didn't like to take advantage, to avoid getting entangled with Xu Hao again.
Xu Hao glanced at the screen and saw the current highest bid was three billion, so he nonchalantly said, "Ten billion."
"Three billion and..." The person calling out the bid suddenly choked as if a fishbone were lodged in their throat, unable to utter another sound.
And the others were almost speechless, realizing that whenever Xu Hao made a move, the price would definitely spike to an extreme high.
Elder Dong said with delight, "Ten billion for the first time, any higher bids?"
"Fifteen billion." The voice was as casual as ever, as if fifteen billion were trivial to him.
The crowd was shocked. Was there another super wealthy mogul?
They all looked over.
It was a young man around twenty-five or twenty-six, handsome and tall, seated next to a strikingly exotic young lady.
Liu Ruyan whispered, "Husband, that's Mao Jinxi, the son of Mao Yiping, the Richest Person in Jiangnan. Mao Yiping started from scratch in the 70s and 80s of the last century and has now become the Richest Person in Jiangnan. His known assets alone have exceeded several hundred billion, not to mention the countless unknown ones."
Xu Hao smiled lightly, "No worries. That's how auctions go, whoever can pay the higher price wins it. If he chooses to make an enemy out of me over this, then that only shows his pettiness."
Chen Suyi said, "Hey, Xu Da Liu|Hooligan, if you bid too high, I won't have that much money to pay you."
Xu Hao gave her a deep look and suddenly smiled, "That's easy to handle, just give me more massages to work off the debt!"
"Dream on!" Chen Suyi rolled her eyes at him and decided to ignore Xu Hao from then on.
Xu Hao glanced at Liu Ruyan and her companions, laughed, and said, "I have so much money I can't spend it all, and every day I'm troubled by it. This is just an opportunity to spend a little bit."
The women all said that Xu Hao was shameless.
Xu Hao eased the atmosphere a bit, then continued to bid, "Twenty billion."
Mao Jinxi glanced at Xu Hao and said indifferently, "Some people shouldn't get carried away trying to show off by recklessly bidding. What will you do if you end up not being able to afford it?"
Xu Hao replied undaunted, "Everyone bids according to their own ability; the highest bidder takes it. You're not me, how would you know whether I can afford it or not?"
"Hmph! Twenty-five billion!" Mao Jinxi's family was indeed wealthy and continued to follow the bid.
"Thirty billion!"
Xu Hao casually said, "Sigh, I made a bet tonight that I have to spend fifty billion, which is my allowance for five days. It pains my heart."
"Struck by lightning for showing off!" Mao Jinxi continued to bid, "Thirty-one billion!" After all, it was just a Nine Star Chain ring. Although Mao Jinxi wanted it, thirty billion was already a significant overprice.
But he forgot that in the eyes of everyone else, he too was showing off.
Xu Hao leisurely took a bite of the fruit Jiang Xuezhun handed him and smiled, "I prefer whole numbers and don't want to waste everyone's time, so let's say fifty billion."
"You!"
Mao Jinxi stood up abruptly, pointing at Xu Hao with a furious expression.
Xu Hao responded coolly, "What are you so worked up for? If you have the money, keep bidding; if not, then get lost. Do you think you can defy the rules and order of the Didixiya Auction House? Or do you think you're more powerful than the big shots present here?"
With that simple sentence, Xu Hao pushed Mao Jinxi to the edge of the knife.
No matter how rich the Mao Family was, they were just merchants with shallow roots, with no real power or influence. How could they compare to heavyweights like Chen Hai? A mere foot-stomp from them could shake the whole of Tiannan thrice!
And Didixiya Auction House had been established for at least three hundred years. Its longevity, the fact that none of its auctioned goods had ever been stolen, and the terrifying energy that it represented behind the scenes were not something a mere rich second generation like Mao Jinxi could afford to provoke!
