“Hey, are you selling this?”
“I’ll offer a hundred million!”
“I’ll offer you a hundred and fifteen million!”
At that moment, all of the people there immediately reacted. Two middle–aged men hurriedly offered aprice to buy that incredibly rare piece of jade.
As for the others, they were not rich enough to afford it, so they merely looked at the bidding war indisappointment.
