It was to the extent that the representative from the Guandi Museum was starting to struggle.
This meant that among the 3 remaining competing museums, one of them was about to exit the stage soon.
"If only we had ignored everything else and focused solely on acquiring this dragon robe! I mentioned it to the director, but he just wouldn't listen. Now, with a budget of 1.5 billion left, we can't even get the dragon robe. We might as well have bought another copy of the Yongle Encyclopedia or secured that jade bowl!" The representative from the Guandi Museum could only vent his frustration at this point.
"Ha, it is our Jiangnan Museum that had the foresight! We knew from the beginning that the dragon robe would fetch an astronomical price, so we gave up on it. Had we saved our budget for the dragon robe, we wouldn't have been able to acquire anything else earlier!" Lin Yide was delighted to watch their performance.
