The auction that determined the future of Haojiang's gambling landscape for decades to come finally came to a close after three weeks.
Aside from the record-setting first and second gambling licenses, the third license was securely acquired by the He Family.
The first license was auctioned for fifty-one billion.
The second license was even more shocking, fetching an unbelievable one hundred billion!
Yet the He Family acquired the third license for a mere ten billion.
Because there was simply no competition against the He Family.
After the second auction concluded, the competitors all successively left Haojiang.
No one wanted to force the He Family into a do-or-die situation.
Otherwise, Haojiang would inevitably plunge into chaos.
The Haojiang authorities were also not going to stand idly by and let this happen.
So the last license belonged to the He Family; this was an unspoken consensus among various parties.
