Fermin swallowed his saliva and sat down unhappily. He could no longer compete with that man on price.
2 million dollars was a surprisingly high price to buy a necklace.
But everyone present knew that it was not only a necklace but also a way to maintain their dominant position in the business district of Yrinas.
2 million dollars was not expensive. Without the reputation of Zabel Group, this price would have doubled at least!
"2 million dollars." Kendrick smiled and said,"I'm glad that you think highly of me. But Ithink you might be despising Zabel Group with the price of 2 million dollars. Well, I'll pay 3 million dollars for the necklace because I plan to give it to my fiancée tomorrow as a token of our love. Thank you."
Kendrick said that so politely that it was hard to find fault with him.
The auctioneer on the stage received a signal and said, "3 million dollars first!
"3 million dollars twice!"
No one would compete with Kendrick on the price now.
"3 million dollars, the last chance..."
"3.6 million dollars!" A clear voice was heard.
Everyone looked at Naomi, The Treasure Trove's representative.
Naomi raised the paddle in her hand and put it down. She sat on the seat and whispered,"Mr. Zabel, although Yrinas is only a fourth-tier city, there are some high standards. The Treasure Trove can afford 3.6 million dollars."
Naomi's words obviously implied that The Treasure Trove could afford 3.6 million dollars, while Zabel Group only offered 3 million dollars.
The Treasure Trove used to be inferior to Zabinski Group.
"Since Ms, Labelle has said that, I'd like to join inthe bid. 4 million dollars." Someone bid.
This was an entrepreneur who had a good relationship with Zabinski Group in Yrinas.
"4.4 million dollars." Someone bi d again.
"5 million dollars."
The price was gradually raised, unlike the situation before where no one dared to bid.
Robert sat in the corner, watching this scene with a smile.
There were many people dissatisfied with Zabel Group.
It was normal. Zabel Group was a big company, but the business landscape of Yrinas had long been determined. Now Zabel Group entered and brought down Zabinski Group, and what would happen later?
Zabel Group must be reshuffled! Now everyone was doing well in business and making money happily every day. No one would like to allow others to disturb the situation.
Robert didn't show up this time just to see how many people were really standing on the side of Zabinski Group. And he was satisfied with the current situation.
5 million dollars, which was much more than the starting price of I million dollars. They embarrassed Zabel Group intentionally.
"8 million dollars!" Kendrick's voice was notloud, but it made all the bidding around him stop.
8 million dollars was enough to show the strong assets of Zabel Group. The 8 million dollars was a part of their working capital and it didn't hurt the group even if they threw it out!
"Everyone, I just want to give my fiancée a tokenwhen we're engaged tomorrow. Please don't bid anymore. I'll remember your kindness,"Kendrick said.
Kendrick sounded humble, and no one bid again.
First, they had no reason to do that. Second, they didn't have enough assets.
None of them could take out 8 million dollars easily.
Robert looked at Fermin who was standing beside him. Fermin's face turned pale as if he had eaten a fly.
Thinking that he offered only 20,000 dollars and even threatened others just now, he felt embarrassed.
He thought, "Kendrick can pay 8 million dollars easily. Can I mess with him?"
Robert couldn't help joking."Someone just promised to buy this necklace. What? Is he afraid now?"
