Chapter 444
Jeffrey knew that if people continued bidding for the premium purple ginseng, the price of the purple ginseng would probably cost twenty to thirty million dollars in the end. Therefore, he simply doubled the price of the purple ginseng in the first bid just so that he could frighten some people away. He was also hoping that he would be able to take the purple ginseng away at a lower price instead!
“Eleven million dollars.” A middle-aged man in the hall also shouted as he raised his placard.
Jeffrey glanced at the man in disdain before he raised his placard again and said, “Fifteen million dollars.”
“Sixteen million dollars.”
Someone spoke up again.
“Twenty-five million dollars,” Jeffrey yelled as he held up his placard again.
In fact, Jeffrey was simply helping Kenneth to participate in the auction this time. Kenneth would be the one bearing the price of the bid today. Therefore, he did not feel distressed at all.
The price of twenty-five million dollars made many people think of giving up.
Even though the rare purple ginseng was very good and effective, the effect of the plant was very limited. Therefore, twenty-five million dollars was already a very high price to pay for the ginseng.
At this time, someone in the hall suddenly shouted, “I will pay thirty million dollars for it!”
Everyone hurriedly looked around only to discover that the bid was actually made by Charlie who was seated next to Anthony.
Jeffrey and Kenneth really did not expect Charlie to be challenging them in this auction. Therefore, both of them exchanged glances with one another before Kenneth directly took over the placard in Jeffrey’s hand and held it up, yelling, “Forty million dollars!”
Kenneth knew very well that Charlie was a very difficult person to deal with. If he was adamant about challenging him, the price of the purple ginseng would definitely end up being very high!
Moreover, Kenneth knew that it would be absolutely impossible for Charlie to be able to afford the purple ginseng. He merely assumed that Charlie must have known that he would need this superb purple ginseng to restore his manhood, and that was the reason why he was deliberately raising the price so that he could cause more trouble for him.
That was why Kenneth called for forty million dollars immediately because he wanted to scare Charlie off.
Unexpectedly, Charlie raised his placard again before saying lightly, “Fifty million dollars!”
Charlie had the cash cheque for one hundred million dollars that Jasmine had given to him sitting inside his pocket at this time.
Not too long ago, Charlie had accidentally given this cheque to his mother-in-law, Elaine, by mistake, and it had almost caused a huge catastrophe. Therefore, Charlie had been looking for an opportunity to use this cheque. As he thought about it, he had finally decided that he could just use the one hundred million dollars to buy the purple ginseng today!
Anyways, besides the one hundred million dollars cash cheque, Charlie had a lot of money in his bank card. In his eyes, this cheque was just a piece of waste paper that he did not know how to deal with. He was actually glad that it would finally come in handy today.
As soon as Kenneth heard Charlie bidding for fifty million dollars, Kenneth almost fainted in anger.
He gritted his teeth before he said to Jeffrey, “That horrible piece of trash! He is deliberately fighting with me! Fifty million dollars?! How could he possibly afford to pay fifty million dollars for the purple ginseng?!”
Jeffrey also nodded as he cursed, “That kid is really a very bad and trashy person! This purple ginseng is worth, at most, twenty million dollars. It is truly a waste to buy it for fifty million dollars! In fact, it is actually a very foolish move!”
Kenneth ground his teeth again before he said, “Damn it! I will bid against him one last time. I do not believe that he will be able to outbid me!”
After that, Kenneth raised his placard before he yelled, “I will pay sixty million dollars!”
By this time, Kenneth was certain that Charlie would not dare to call for a price higher than sixty million dollars.
Unexpectedly, Charlie raised his placard without any hesitation as he yelled, “I will pay eighty million dollars!”
Kenneth stood up and exploded immediately as he yelled, “What do you mean by this, the one with the last name Wade? Why the hell are you trying to outbid me for this purple ginseng?! Are you sure you can afford to pay eighty million dollars for it?!”
Charlie smiled as he replied, “You are such a good grandson. Don’t worry, grandpa can afford it!”
