Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Fainted in Tears in the Bathroom
After all, this was their first time seeing a real Pill of Life.
Such a precious item was certainly worth their attention.
However, the starting bid called out by the auctioneer was 5 million!
Su Zhan’s hand that was just about to raise stiffened in an instant.
Damn, does it have to be so ruthless?
The minimum bid was 5 million, leaving him, who had brought all his belongings worth only a little over 2 million, unable to afford it!
Moreover, wasn’t this pill about to expire?
The expiration date was nearly up, and yet the starting price was still so high, do they understand marketing at all?
“Five million, does anyone need it? Just 5 million, and you can take home the life-saving Pill of Life right away, just 5 million, just 5 million!” The auctioneer shouted excitedly, but the audience below was still silent.
Uh, this was awkward.
“Why is it so expensive?” Su Zhan suddenly couldn’t help but ask.
The auctioneer explained with a smile, “This is the reserve price set by the seller, after all, he once spent 20 million to buy it…”
“Hahaha…” Laughter erupted from below the stage.
An item purchased for 20 million that had been kept for over 20 years had only depreciated to 5 million.
The seller must be fainting in the restroom by now!
Su Zhan was still unconvinced, “But it’s about to expire. Expired goods should be dealt with at the lowest price, 500,000, I’ll buy it!”
Su San immediately looked down on him.
Master, cutting the price by 10 times just like that, you sure have a thick skin.
The auctioneer’s self-restraint was very good; he still responded with a smile, “Sir, the seller has stated that the price cannot be less than 5 million, or he would rather not sell. I’m really sorry, but we can’t influence the price.”
“But no one is buying!” Su Zhan said triumphantly.
He was now certain that nobody wanted this useless thing.
Who would be foolish enough to spend 5 million on something that’s about to be useless?
If there were, they would have raised their hand by now, after all, 5 million is pocket change to these tycoons.
Of course, the thing Su Zhan was most grateful for was that the tycoon upstairs didn’t seem interested in buying.
Otherwise, he would also be fainting in the restroom…
The auctioneer was also very embarrassed, “Really nobody needs it? This is the last perfectly preserved Pill of Life in the world, and you can take it home for just 5 million. Miss this chance, and you may never be able to buy it again.”
However, the crowd below still showed no reaction.
Su Zhan became increasingly smug, hurry up, nobody buy it.
That way he could pick it up at a bargain.
The auctioneer hadn’t expected such a cold reception; he thought at least someone would be interested.
After all, the Pill of Life was once very popular.
The highest bid for one had even shot up to 1.2 billion!
Now, nobody would take it for 5 million…
The auctioneer had no choice but to say with a forced smile, “If nobody wants it, then we’ll have to cancel this auction.”
“I’ll buy it if you lower the price a bit!” Su Zhan generously said.
“I’m sorry, really can’t do that, the seller needs the money, and he won’t go below this price…”
“Ah, I’ll buy it, 5 million then.” Suddenly, a voice familiar to everyone came from the second-floor private box.
Wasn’t that the tycoon?
Sure enough, they had made a move again, but this time they were obviously uninterested in the item. From their tone, it sounded almost like charity.
Was it because they saw the item couldn’t sell, they pitied the seller, and reluctantly bought it?
Wow, not only does this tycoon have lots of money, but he’s also foolish!
