The person who raised the bid was none other than the fat man in front of Fang Chenyi.
Seeing this, Fang Chenyi couldn't help but give him a silent thumbs-up. 'Looks like I didn't misjudge him,' he thought. 'This guy really has guts.'
And so it went. Whenever the old foreigner raised his bid, the fat man would instantly and unhesitatingly counter, each time increasing the price by the minimum increment of exactly one million.
The two went back and forth, giving the auctioneer no chance to speak. Just like that, the price quickly shot up to four billion and ten million.
The old foreigner shot a deep look at the fat man, then said through gritted teeth:
"Four billion and fifty million! If you raise the bid one more time, I'll—"
However, before the old man could finish, the fat man raised his paddle again and blurted out without a second thought, "Four billion and fifty-one million."
