It seems that the bidding war has truly begun this time.
Well, after all, in this day and age, the capital market emphasizes free competition, so of course, it's not possible to just invite everyone for a few cups of tea, fan out the contracted bids, and decide the winner internally, right?
The greatest difficulty of the Holy Grail bidding war task lies right here.
What the company has to deal with is not just the winner of the last Holy Grail!
But all the players in Celestial who are interested in the Holy Grail!
Perhaps some of the forces participating in the bidding aren't even truly interested in the Holy Grail itself, but are merely joining in for the excitement, to raise the stakes, to find an opportunity to test out their latest weapon systems, and after showing off a little, they force other bidders to concede interests in exchange for them 'dropping out of the competition.'
