Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Bet_1
The crowd was astonished again, "Is the master joking? The indentation of the dragon’s eye looks almost as big as a ping-pong ball; how could there be such a huge jade dragon pearl?"
A master stroke his beard and smiled slightly, "That only means you are ignorant."
The crowd was stunned, "Holy cow, a jade dragon pearl the size of a ping-pong ball, how much would that be worth!"
Another master replied in a serious tone, "At least five billion. Hehe, but the problem is this item is too rare, it’s something you can encounter but not seek."
The crowd was extremely shocked, "No wonder they say when the two are combined, their value is immeasurable, so that’s what it meant!"
The final round of the auction began.
The bidding for the dragon-shaped carving board started at five hundred million.
"Five hundred and fifty million!"
"Six hundred million!"
"Eight hundred million"
From the start of the auction, the competition for the dragon-shaped carving board had reached a fever pitch.
The tycoons in the top-level boxes, unlike their previous composure, all came forth with a must-win attitude and joined the battle.
But after a fierce battle, it was still Hu Wansan, with his more substantial financial resources, who had the last laugh.
Fifteen billion.
The dragon-shaped carving board was secured by Hu Wansan.
Now he was exceedingly smug.
Puffing out his chest.
"What’s called strength? This is called strength!"
As he spoke, he even gave Ye Fei a sidelong glance.
"Brother Ye, aren’t you quite rich? Why aren’t you making a bid anymore?"
"Hehe, it seems your strength isn’t all that after all."
Ye Fei smiled without a word.
Hu Wansan, looking at his trophy, feigned regret, "Ah, it’s a good dragon, but it’s missing an eye and doesn’t have Spiritual Energy anymore. If I could encounter a suitable jade dragon pearl, no matter the cost, I’d have to buy it."
Hearing this, Ye Fei turned his head with a smile and asked, "No matter the cost? Are you serious?"
Hu Wansan frowned, "Nonsense! I, Hu Wansan, am always true to my word!"
At the words "true to my word," those present nearly spit out their drinks.
Hu Wansan was unconcerned, suddenly remembering something and showing a strange expression, "What do you mean by that? Are you claiming to have a jade dragon pearl?"
"Why not?" Ye Fei countered.
Hu Wansan pointed at the dragon-shaped carving board and sneered, "You have a jade dragon pearl that big?"
Ye Fei nodded, "Of course."
"Hahaha!"
Hu Wansan almost died laughing.
As a seasoned enthusiast of curio playthings, he understood all too well the rarity of a giant jade dragon pearl.
When it comes to a jade dragon pearl the size of a ping-pong ball.
The entire number possessed by Huaxia wouldn’t exceed ten!
According to reliable information, in the southern regions of Huaxia, the Qingyun and Canglang states, there was only one giant jade dragon pearl!
And this jade dragon pearl was enshrined as a family treasure by the Zhu Family, the biggest financial tycoon in Dongling City, Canglang state.
How could this stinky physician come up with a second one?
This is outright lying, isn’t it?
"Ye Fei, Ye Fei! You’re the most shameless scammer I’ve ever seen."
Hu Wansan laughed so hard he doubled over.
"How can you be so shameless to claim you have such a priceless treasure as a giant jade dragon pearl? With your abilities, do you deserve it? Hahaha..."
The other big shots in the box obviously didn’t believe it either.
But Ye Fei didn’t care about their opinions, smilingly asking, "You don’t need to worry about whether I’m worthy or not. I’m just asking you, if I have a jade dragon pearl that fits the size of your dragon eye, would you buy it or not?"
"Of course I’d buy!"
"Good!"
Ye Fei signaled the staff to open the box in the room.
"Then next, shall we all bear witness together?"
"No problem at all!"
Hu Wansan still wore a mocking smile.
He simply didn’t believe Ye Fei could really produce a giant jade dragon pearl.
He didn’t believe it at all.
The charity auction had ended, and everyone was preparing to leave.
But when they heard there was more drama to come, they immediately sat back down.
Ye Fei explained the situation to everyone again, then turned to Hu Wansan to reconfirm, "Boss Hu, since you’re keen to buy, how about selling it to you for fifty billion?"
Ye Fei didn’t want to take advantage; he wasn’t in the market to extort money.
As a curio enthusiast, his only desire was to unify the two treasures into one.
Only then could the treasure display its greatest value.
It’s like the zodiac animal heads from the Old Summer Palace.
Taking out any one of them on its own, its value is relatively limited.
But if all twelve heads could be assembled, their value would be beyond measure.
The price of fifty billion, let alone causing Hu Wansan to be astonished,
made everyone present sigh with regret.
You must understand, Hu Wansan already had the dragon-shaped carving board in his hands.
If he got the jade dragon pearl as well, the value of the carving board would multiply several times over.
If it were somebody else, the asking price would be over a hundred billion.
"It seems after all it’s just a farce. If Ye had a jade dragon pearl, would he really offer such a low price?"
"Mmhmm, it’s probably just like that. Even if he really has one, it must be the worst quality. Otherwise, why not make tens of billions more?"
Hu Wansan looked at Ye Fei as if he were an idiot.
"Fifty billion? Ye Fei, aren’t you underestimating me? The great Hu Wansan, would I take advantage of you?"
"I’ll put it here. As long as you can really produce a jade dragon pearl with good color, shape, and sufficient size. I’ll give you five hundred billion!"
Ye Fei’s mouth twitched into a smile, "Are you serious?"
"Nonsense. When I, Hu Wansan, speak, it’s as solid as a spit on a nail!"
"Okay, talk is cheap, let’s document this as proof, shall we?"
"Let’s do it! But, dear brother Ye, if you can’t produce the jade dragon pearl in the end, how shall we handle it?"
"If I can’t bring it out, I’m at Boss Hu’s disposal. Fair?"
"Fair enough!"
The staff immediately brought paper, pen, and the seal.
Bai Yunfei, seeing the situation blowing up, quickly came forward to stop it.
But Hu Wansan, who was already heated up, wasn’t about to listen to any advice easily.
Besides, he was completely confident of victory.
Having taken a dislike to Ye Fei already, how could he miss this opportunity to humiliate him in the clear light of day?
After signing the agreement,
Hu Wansan couldn’t close his smiling mouth, challenging Ye Fei.
"Come on, bring out the jade dragon pearl, let everyone have a look, shall we?"
