Chapter 284: The White-Robed Knight (Part 4)

All eyes in the venue instantly focused on Zheng Qian.

Good grief!

He didn't bid before, but when he did...

He bid 4 billion right off the bat!

He immediately created a 1 billion gap with the other party!

3 billion was already a 500 million premium.

I didn't expect Zheng Qian to be even more outrageous.

Directly adding a 1.5 billion premium, willing to spend 4 billion to purchase the white knight.

Is this having money and nowhere to spend it?

4 billion is enough to buy a brand-new, modern large merchant ship of the same class, or even a higher class!

Beside him, Jiang Yanran, Song Yaxian, Fan Minxue, and Zhang Lekang were dumbfounded.

They didn't know what to say.

One move, and it's 4 billion?

No wonder he rejected everyone's fundraising.

So this is where his confidence comes from!

Song Yaxian was a bit worried.

To save face, is 1.5 billion worth it?

"Finally making a move?" Tang Xingyu muttered softly.

"Heh, this kid is quite patient. He wasn't even afraid we would buy it at a low price."

"A 1.5 billion premium, huh? He's got guts."

"Little Tang, teach him a hard lesson!"

Zhao Ying's ears were temporarily deafened.

She could only see the people beside her, their mouths opening and closing, but she couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

When Zhao Ying heard that Zheng Qian had bid 4 billion, her head buzzed as if something had exploded inside it.

4 billion!

That's enough to buy 40 garment factories!

What a grand gesture, how immense!

Never mind that 15 million is just pocket change to Zheng Qian.

Even 150 million is just a drop in the bucket!

Lu Shanshan felt as if her heart had been struck a heavy blow.

Zheng Qian... could actually pull out 4 billion?

In other words, neither 150 million nor 15 million meant anything to him.

They were just rounding errors in his bank account, maybe not even that!

The reason he sued them and demanded tenfold compensation was truly because her mother and she had gone too far.

He didn't care about that small amount of money at all.

Lu Shanshan first glanced at her mother, who was also stunned by Zheng Qian's grand gesture.

Then she looked at Tang Xingyu sitting beside her, who seemed to be thinking seriously about something.

Perhaps she shouldn't have accepted Tang Xingyu's help.

And she shouldn't have told her mother directly.

Her mother's attitude toward Zheng Qian had originally softened a lot, and she was no longer so hostile.

But after she told her mother this news, she went back to looking down on Zheng Qian.

From what she knew, Zheng Qian had spent nearly 8 billion in Jiangnan in the last two days alone!

How much more money did he have?

Lu Shanshan didn't know.

Including the market value of Qianhe Group, Zheng Qian was already a successful man with a net worth of over 10 billion!

A net worth of 10 billion!

What kind of concept is that?

Never mind 10 billion, some people can't even earn 100 million in their entire lives!

Zheng Qian's success had far surpassed all the men Lu Shanshan knew!

Including Tang Xingyu!

Even if you gave Cui Jinghui another hundred years, that eldest young master of the Cui Family could never earn 10 billion!

Tang Xingyu only just realized.

Zheng Qian might really not have made his fortune through such crooked ways.

The lawsuit might also have other reasons.

Perhaps Lu Shanshan hadn't told him the whole story.

Tang Xingyu secretly glanced at Lu Shanshan, but didn't expect that Lu Shanshan was also looking at him at that moment.

The two stared at each other awkwardly for a split second.

You can't read a person's mind.

Neither knew what the other was thinking.

But they could both guess roughly.

Neither side mentioned it.

On stage, Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi had already called 4 billion twice; he had to bid as soon as possible.

Tang Xingyu raised his bidding paddle.

"4.5 billion!"

Zheng Qian immediately followed up: "6 billion."

He was nonchalant and composed.

Everyone in the venue gasped.

With the first bid, Zheng Qian was already 1 billion higher than the other party!

With the second bid, Zheng Qian was directly 1.5 billion higher!

Actually, Tang Xingyu's bid was quite bold, directly increasing it by 500 million.

But in this situation, who would notice him?

Everyone's focus was on Zheng Qian.

"6 billion!"

"This kid is really ruthless!"

Whether it was Liu Ruipeng, Jin Changyuan, or Xue Tianhao, none of them expected that Zheng Qian still had so much money.

The thing Li Huaan was most worried about had happened!

Zheng Qian had another massive sum of capital appearing out of nowhere.

Where did his money come from?

Li Huaan had no way of knowing.

But since Zheng Qian dared to quote such an astronomical price, there must be that much money in his account!

Fraudulent bidding is illegal.

"Old Li, what kind of calculation is this!"

"Didn't you say Zheng Qian only had 2 billion?"

"Even adding Jiang Yanran, Fan Minxue, and Zhang Lekang, it's not enough for 6 billion!"

"How should we bid next?"

Some suspected, could this kid be playing them?

Knowing they wanted this face.

Then intentionally driving up the price, and then not bidding at the end?

Making their money go down the drain for nothing?

No, this possibility is very small.

Judging from Zheng Qian's expression, it was impossible.

The group quickly discussed it.

Let's just go all the way in one step.

Take out all the funds.

9 billion!

A wave of all-in!

Go all in!!

It saves everyone from riding a roller coaster, going high and low, which might cause a heart attack for those with poor health.

After collecting everyone's opinions, Tang Xingyu decided to go all-in.

He stood up: "9 billion!"

The whole venue was in an uproar!

"9...9 billion?"

"Who is this guy? Is he crazy?"

"9 billion to buy a white knight? Is there something wrong with his brain?"

"Don't you know? This is the young master of Xingyao Group. He isn't paying this money alone, but has united many big shots."

"They just want to suppress the momentum of that 10-billion-worth guy."

Those who knew the inside story explained it to the bewildered audience.

Is this the world of big shots?

A white knight, as long as you bid 3 billion, you can get a handful on the market.

Bidding 9 billion.

Even if they win the bid, they'll lose 6.5 billion!

That's all hard cash!

Whose face is worth 6.5 billion?

People associated this with Chairman Zhu Hongfu, who was just slapped in the face by Zheng Qian, and Lin Chengye.

In other words, behind those few bosses, there are two super big shots who haven't appeared?

The number one and number two figures in Jiangnan?

Heavens!

No wonder!

Such people are really willing to pay a 6.5 billion premium for their own face!

Everyone associated it with the richest man in Jiangnan and the boss of Banana Entertainment.

Media reporters clicked, clicked, clicked, frantically pressing their shutters to photograph Tang Xingyu standing up to bid.

Tang Xingyu was sweating profusely at this moment, venting all the anger in his heart.

9 billion.

Zheng Qian.

This is my all.

I won't beat around the bush with you anymore.

If you chicken out, be obedient from now on, and don't be so arrogant again!

Even Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi on stage, and even the auction house owner behind the scenes, were shocked by this price!

9 billion!

Damn it!

Serious premium!

Since the auction house opened, no such astronomical price had ever been bid; the highest was only over 3 billion.

And that was an internet listed company!

This one merchant ship is 9 billion?

Damn it!

They really don't treat money as money!
