545 Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting Part Sixteen

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.

He made such a large scene, invited almost all of the inner members here, and quite a number of outer members too, and the item only had a starting bid of one yuan!? And what's more, there was only just this one item?

There was a saying that went: Humans are "cheap" in nature. If Gong Zhiwen had said that the item had a starting bid of 100 million, those present would have the mentality that this was just another normal treasure and therefore wouldn't consider it to be very precious.

But with a starting bid of one yuan, things were different—they were all instantly excited. Priceless, this was definitely a precious item. Only priceless items didn't have specific starting prices and depended on their eyesight!

Instantly, everyone's curiosity was aroused. The person who was anxious previously asked, "Can we really look and touch it as much as we want?"

"That's right." Gong Zhiwen smiled, nodded and said.

"Then let me take a look first!" That person instantly stood up, walked up, removed the red cloth, and looked at the item. "Hm?" He shook his head and touched it. Then, his expression instantly changed. He sucked in a cold breath and covered the item again, directly calling out his bid. "20 million. I will increase the price if this is not enough."

An item with a starting price of one yuan, yet the first person instantly called out a bid of 20 million, even experienced and successful people like those sitting down there had never seen something like this happen before. Therefore, a few people instantly prepared to come up and take a look at the item.

Then, an eerie thing happened!

Those who came up and viewed the item all bid their price. The rate at which the price increased almost caused their jaws to drop.

"I bid 30 million."

"40 million."

"60 million."

"80 million!"

Only a few people had gone up and the price had already raised to 80 million.

The rest was even more curious now. All of them stretched their necks out, trying to see what the item was.

The price continued to rise as more people came up. Another 20 plus people later, a middle-aged man stretched out his hand, touched the item, and his face turned full of delight. Without another word, he called his bid: "I bid 500 million."

500 million!

Upon hearing this price, everyone present was astonished.

The starting bid was one yuan, and just a short while later, the price became 500 million! That was 500 million! Most of the outer members only had a net worth of two to three billion!

What was this treasure!?

However, before they had time to be surprised, just another short while later, another person who just touched the item called, "800 million."

800 million! The price actually increased to 800 million!

This time, everyone in the conference room was astonished.

They had already expected the treasure to be quite good before they came to the auction, but no one had expected the price to go as high as 800 million!

Then, the person who bid 500 million anxiously said, "Old Yang, this is just an ice-type jade, is there really a need to fight with me for it?"

Old Yang instantly rebuked. "You are very aware why this thing is worth so much. I know you have gastric cancer early stage, but mine is lung cancer middle stage. I need this thing more than you do. I bid 800 million. If you want it, raise the price, but don't talk about other stuff. Nothing is more important than life!"

This treasure was the ice-type jade Hong Dali opened previously that increased the Health attribute!

Although this item didn't add a lot of Health points, just five, the problem was that it could suppress the development of the disease! Just this point alone was incredible enough—no amount of money was more precious than life! Especially for those people here who had already achieved such a level, they would definitely be willing to spend billions to prolong their life for another 10 to 20 years!

By this time, everyone present finally knew what this amazing treasure was. Simply put, it was an ice-type jade that could prolong their life. Also, its effect acted very quickly!

When a person's net worth reached a billion, 10 billion, what was the most important, then? Without a doubt, it was health!

Wasn't there a saying that put it aptly: The most unfortunate thing that can happen to a human is that when he dies, he still hasn't finished spending his money.

Especially for these two tycoons who had a terminal illness. When such an amazing jade that could prolong their life for another eight to ten years appeared in front of them when they were about to die, there was no reason for them to not fight for it with all they had, right!?

Now, everyone present got excited.

The outer members weren't able to fight for it because they were not as rich as the inner members, but the inner members didn't have such a concern. There was only one such treasure. They all called their price frantically, especially those who had terminal illnesses or illnesses that were hard to treat. They all fought till their eyes went red!

"900 million!"

"1 billion!"

"1.2 billion!"

"I bid 1.5 billion, this item is definitely going to be mine!"

Just a short while later, this jade's price had gone up as high as 1.5 billion!

Of course, seeing a fight was about to happen, Gong Zhiwen naturally knew when to call it a stop. He took over the microphone, coughed softly, smiled, and said, "OK, since everyone already knows the benefit of this item, I have something to say now."

Hearing that Gong Zhiwen had something to say to them, everyone present went quiet. After all, he was the one who took out the jade. Seeing him appear quite prepared now, could it be that he still had more!?

"Everyone, your guess is right, this piece of jade can increase your health, helping to prolong your life." Gong Zhiwen smilingly said, "Yup, I know that words alone are not enough. Although quite a few of you have already touched it, not everyone has done so. Therefore, I am going to show a video to all of you now. You will understand once you've viewed it."

Very quickly, his assistant brought up the laptop and projector. After everything was set up, a person appeared on the screen.

This person seemed quite old, his hair was white, but his mental state seemed quite good and he was actually kicking a shuttlecock on a patch of grass!

"I believe that some of you have recognized who this person is." Gong Zhiwen pointed at the screen and slowly said, "That's right, he is Turkey Enterprise's President Liu Yihui's father, Liu Zhongyuan. I believe quite a lot of you have heard of his body condition before."

Upon hearing Gong Zhiwen say this, the people present instantly exclaimed, "It's actually Old Master Liu! God, didn't I hear that he had gastric cancer? Why is he looking so energetic now!?"

"That's right, it was said that his was late-stage cancer when it was discovered!"

Hearing the discussion downstage, Gong Zhiwen smiled and said, "That's right. Old Master Liu did indeed had late-stage gastric cancer. However, Young Master Dali gave him an amazing health ball. It had the same effect as the one I am auctioning today. As for the rest, I don't think I need to continue, right?"

This time, everyone was dazed.

The Old Master Liu who had late-stage gastric cancer actually had such great spirit now and could even kick shuttlecock! Then, this jade that could prolong their life…

Especially those tycoons who had terminal illnesses too, their eyes almost shone like lasers as they looked at the video…

Everyone knew that since Gong Zhiwen said this, he definitely still had more of this stuff in his hands!

"Director Gong, this is indeed good stuff." A person downstage shouted, "Enough talk. State your condition, we are all listening. We should share the good stuff with one another, isn't that right?"

"Hehe, since everyone says so, I shall not keep the suspense." Gong Zhiwen nodded, smiled, and said, "I believe everyone has already realized, almost all of the inner members are here, but there is one exception."

They instantly scanned around the place, and very quickly, someone said, "Director Qian Guangzhao isn't here! Director Gong, your meaning is…"

"Correct." Gong Zhiwen smiled and said, "My condition is very simple, impeach Qian Guangzhao. As long as everyone agrees, everyone can have one of these amazing jade. The price is only… 50 million. If anyone doesn't agree, all you have to do is just leave this place now."

As long as they impeached Qian Guangzhao, plus 50 million, they could get a piece of jade that could increase their health!

No one could refuse such a condition!

After all, all kinds of other collaborations, agreements, and partnerships were all useless, only their life was their own!

"Let's do it!" Some people were still hesitating, but the two people who were fighting for the jade the most ferociously just now both agreed without any hesitation.

Once someone led in front, very quickly, the rest all came around too—although Gong Zhiwen only asked 50 million for this jade that could increase a person's health, this item's true value wasn't on its price, but the connections that it could gather!

Which person could ensure that they would never fall sick during their entire life? If they didn't agree now, next time, they wouldn't have another chance! Also, without a doubt, Hong Weiguo would definitely be able to gain a lot of popularity in the future because of this item. It wasn't an overstatement to said that things were already decided and settled. They would be fools if they didn't agree now!

"Let's do it. Damn it, nothing is more important than our own life!"

"Exactly, let's do it! Those who don't agree are idiots!"

After just a short hesitation, not a single person left, everyone present agreed.

Liu Yihui and Mu Tie shared a look and secretly nodded.

Previously, when Hong Weiguo was impeached, they had already thought of this together. But at that time, Hong Weiguo wasn't confident that they could do it because they needed luck to achieve this. Luckily, Hong Dali was indeed reliable, really coming up with more of this type of amazing jade.

Now that they had health as their weapon, even ten Qian Guangzhaos wouldn't be Hong Weiguo's match.

"Things are finally turning for the better. This really wasn't simple." Mu Family sighed and said, "Looking back now, it was really a wise decision standing alongside the Hong Family."

Liu Yihui nodded and said, "That's right. Once I think back on how I plotted against the Hong Family last time, I still have cold sweat. This little prodigal Hong Dali, he's really… A small move from him could shake the sky!"
