Now, you can start raisingyour paddles,” the auctioneer announced with a sweet smile before she moved to the side of the stage.
As soon as she finished, Callum raised his paddle and called out, “Ten million.”
Callum’s bid left the crowd stunned. They couldn’t believe that he doubled the starting price of this onehundred and fifty-year-old snapdragon at the first bid.
If the auction continued, there was a chance that the snapdragon’s bidding price would soar to twentyor thirty million. Hence, Callum decided to place a high bid as it might deter the other bidders fromplacing their bids. Perhaps, I can obtain the snapdragon at ten million.
“Eleven million.” A middle-aged man raised his paddle.

Another bidder voiced out, “Sixteen million.
“Twenty-five million,” Callum announced without hesitation.

He gritted his teeth and said to Callum, “This piece of trash must be goading me on purpose. It will beimpossible for him to fork up fifty million!”
Callum nodded in agreement. “He’s just messing with us. Besides, this snapdragon is worth twentymillion at most. It’d be a waste to purchase it for fifty million. We would be suffering a detriment.”
