The auction was about to begin, and the auctioneer went on stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our auction. I hope that everyone will be able to get what you want today!"
Clap... A round of enthusiastic applause rang out.

The starting price is five million US dollars. There are no rules in this bidding."
With that said, the highest bid would win.
