Chapter 3916
After a few collection items were successfully auctioned, the auction event was finally approaching its long awaited end.
The auction for the fourth quarter pill was about to begin. Charlie used the walkie-talkie and gave Jasmine some instructions.
"Before the auction for the fourth quarter pill begins, please give the bidders a friendly reminder. For those who're waiting to bid for the last full pill, if their financial strength is a little risky, advise them to bid for the fourth quarter pill first. Otherwise, they may not win anything."
Jasmine understood. She immediately announced to the bidders, "The next item for auction is the Rejuvenating Pill. This is the fourth quarter pill, which is also the last quarter pill available for auction. I believe everyone has witnessed the magical effects shown by the three quarter pills earlier. I know many have regretfully missed your chance to win the pills earlier. This is the last quarter pill available. Everyone, please seize the opportunity and not miss the last chance."
Jasmine then added, "Also, I'd like to give a gentle reminder to those who are aiming for the last Rejuvenating Pill, which is a full pill. The competition will be very intense. If you want to win the last pill, be sure to take into account your situation and your own financial strength. If you think your chances of winning are slim, I suggest you bid for the last quarter pill available instead. Otherwise, you may not be able to win anything."
Some of the bidders with stronger financial power turned sour. When they witnessed the pill's effect in the first auction, they decided to win the last full pill at all cost.
Unfortunately, they didn't expect the crazy jump in price. The first quarter Rejuvenating Pill was sold for two billion, but the second quarter pill's final price had been multiplied by five times.
When the third quarter pill went on auction, it was sold at eighteen billion and five hundred million US dollars.
Based on the current price, the last full pill of Rejuvenating Pill would be four times the last price, which was probably around seventy-four billion US dollars.
At such an astronomical price, many bidders wouldn't have the chance to fight for it at all.
Jasmine's advice was right. They would miss their golden chance to get the Rejuvenating Pill if they refused to go all out at the bidding for the fourth quarter pill.
By now, many bidders started cursing at the Rejuvenating Pill auction's organizer in their unhappy hearts. To them, the auction's rules were just too annoying.
Firstly, they must eat it right after winning the bid. They couldn't take the pill out with them, which meant they wouldn't have the chance to resell the pill for a higher price, o r split the pill into a smaller portion for sale, or join hands with others to bid.
Had it not been for these rules, four rich men could easily combine their wealth to bid for the last full pill and then split it into four quarter pills again after winning it. That way might even be cheaper than bidding for the quarter pill at a crazy price.
There was an even worse rule. They only had one chance to win the bid, regardless of a quarter pill for a full pill.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
They couldn't win the bid for a quarter pill first and then bid for the last full pill again. The rule forbade them to do so.
They had no choice but to make a decision immediately. It was either desperately waiting for the last full pill, or trying to compete for the last quarter pill first. If they won the bid for the quarter pill, they would at least have one and not return empty-handed.
As a result, many who initially didn't plan to join the fourth quarter pill bidding immediately joined in. It also made the competitor for the fourth quarter pill fiercer.
Charlie didn't want the fourth quarter pill to be sold at a lower price than the third, so he made Jasmine give the bidders a kind reminder.
For the last bidding, most of the
bidders who joined had probably reached their financial limit. If Charlie didn't try to divert the focus of those who were saving for the last auction to the fourth quarter pill, the price for the fourth quarter pill would inevitably be lower than the third quarter pill.
Once he managed to divert the bidders, the fourth quarter pill's price immediately rose. The bidding price exceeded the third quarter pill's price at eighteen billion and five hundred million US dollars, and kept going higher as it approached the twenty billion US dollars mark.
At this stage, only three people still hadn't joined the bidding. They were Jordan Fox, Carlson Hobbs, and Bernard Arnault.
These three had the same thought in mind.
They wanted to win the bid for the last full pill at all cost.
The price for the fourth Rejuvenating Pill rose rapidly and soon breached the twenty billion US dollars mark.
As the price rose higher, those who planned to bid for the last pill grew more and more anxious.
