On stage.
The Auctioneer said, "The starting bid for this Qianlong Emperor's white jade thumb ring is thirty million, with each bid increase not to be lower than one million. Bidding starts now!"
As soon as his words ended, countless people eagerly started bidding.
"Thirty-five million!"
"Forty million!"
"Fifty million!"
"..."
"Eighty million!"
"One hundred million!"
It wasn't until the price soared to one hundred million that the pace of bidding slowed.
"One hundred and ten million!" The bidder was a former coal tycoon.
This former coal tycoon was named Chen Meng, who had previously made a fortune in the coal industry.
Now, with the coal industry no longer booming, he successfully transitioned to the internet.
Although he did not do exceptionally well, he made a modest profit and still appeared flush with cash.
He thought the Qianlong white jade thumb ring suited him very well.
