Chapter 563: Round It Up

Amongst these animals, the tigers were the highlight. Upon hearing this, everyone focused back on the video.

Door to Heaven, inside the International Convention Center.

“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s finally time for the most exciting moment!” Then, the two tigers appeared on the holographic projection.

Without a doubt, since these two tigers were the last finale, their external appearances were indeed the best.

Both of them were very large inside, the Chinese character for the word “King” could be clearly seen on their forehead, full of the demeanor of a ruler. If they brought them home, that would definitely make them extremely proud!

It wasn’t an overstatement to say that if they brought the tigers out with them to the streets, they would definitely attract the screams of everyone there—regardless of whether they were screaming out of envy, jealousy, or fear, they would definitely scream!

In a bewitching tone, Running Dog loudly shouted, “Next up is the highlight of the auction, two gentlemen tigers that can babysit!” Using an auctioneer’s style of speech where he learned from not sure where, Running Dog said, “These two tigers are gentlemanly, noble, regardless of whether it’s their appearance or grooming, or even their hobbies, they can be considered to be the most excellent tigers that ever existed. There’s a saying that one mountain can’t have two tigers; unless they are one male and one female! That’s right, my dear ladies and gentlemen, you heard me right, these two tigers are exactly a pair of male and female ones! They have already developed a strong relationship with one another. The male tiger is very sensitive towards music—every time an elegant music sounds, it would dance in joy to it! As for the female tiger, it would elegantly roar along with the music!”

Upon hearing Running Dog’s introduction of the tigers, everyone was astonished!

These two tigers could not only babysit, but even dance! A dancing tiger, that’s really incredible!

“Then, the starting price for this pair of gentlemanly tigers is one yuan!” Running Dog shouted, “This pair of tigers is definitely the optimal choice for squandering, this is a rare chance to obtain them. There’s a limited stock, only two of them in the entire world, only two! Only for one yuan, one yuan! You won’t be cheated or scammed by buying them…”

Liu Yihui’s head was full of sweat as he heard that. “This robot that Dali made is such an amusing idiot…”

“I never thought it would be like this, too.” Hong Weiguo stared in bewilderment. “It practically boasted the tigers like they were from heaven…”

These two tigers were definitely good stuff, and indeed, there were only two of them in the entire world. Their fur was groomed till it was bright and shiny, their bodies covered with yellow and black stripes, and they wore beautiful tuxedos on their bodies. Just looking at them would cause one to completely fall in love with them!

“20 million.” The previous animals basically all reached a price of several million to tens of millions. Naturally, the price for these two tigers couldn’t be lesser than that. Therefore, the first person to bid already started at a high price of 20 million.

“30 million.” Another person increased the bid, directly increasing it by another 10 million.

Of course, if someone thought they could buy these pair of tigers for just 30 million, they were just dreaming. Another person decisively said, “40 million.”

Then, the prices started rocketing up.

“50 million!”

“60 million!”

At this moment, Sun Yuanzhou, who was sitting on stage, coveted the tigers as well. However, he knew that although he was one of the five magnates, it wouldn’t be easy to obtain them—after all, he still had to ask the other four of the five magnates first, right?

Sun Yuanzhou softly asked, “Director Wen, aren’t you going to buy these two tigers?”

Wen Jianan laughed and said without hesitation, “Of course I will, but let the rest of them bid first. If I shout the price now, it would be like pressuring them to give up using my influence. That’s not very good.”

“That’s true.” Fine. From his appearance, Wen Jianan is obviously going to get the tigers at all costs. There’s no need for me to fight with him over them.

“Yup, I got reminded of something.” Wen Jianan softly said, “Hong Weiguo plans to return to the Chamber of Commerce, we better help him out in secret. I plan to offer a higher than necessary price for this pair of tigers, what do you think?”

“Yup, that should work.” Sun Yuanzhou nodded.

Previously, they plotted against Hong Weiguo and caused him to be kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce. Now that he wished to come back, although Wen Jianan and the other four couldn’t reveal anything publicly, it wasn’t a problem for them to help him out secretly.

Time passed very fast, and the bidding had already reached a high price of 80 million.

Even for those inner members, this price wasn’t a small sum of money. After all, the tigers could only be considered to be a symbol at most. Plus, the five magnates hadn’t opened their mouths yet, the rest of them naturally didn’t have a need to fight too ferociously for the tigers.

“80 million! This Mister has already made a bid of 80 million!” Running Dog’s voice was very excited, those people present didn’t have a single doubt that if Running Dog had saliva, the saliva would already be splattered all over the floor by now. “Is someone bidding higher? Anyone? 80 million going once, 80 million going twice…”

“160 million.” Finally, Wen Jianan saw that no one else down there was going to raise the price anymore, so he decisively made his bid.

The highest price down there was 80 million, yet he immediately doubled it, this had already expressed his sincerity in obtaining the tigers. After all, if he bid 90 million, those people down there wouldn’t continue to fight over the tigers with him out of respect, but that wouldn’t look very good on him.

Doubling the price was indeed quite suitable, then.

“160 million! 160 million!” Running Dog’s loud voice almost shook the ceiling. “This Mister has made a bid of 160 million, is anyone bidding higher? 160 million going once, 160 million going twice, 160 million going thrice!”

“Deal!” Running Dog made a gentleman’s bow and they could even hear the smile in his voice. “Congratulations, Mister. As long as the Young Master agrees, you can come and collect these two tigers at any time.”

“Hehe, of course, as you wish.” Wen Jianan smiled in satisfaction.

Now that the highlight was over, the rest that remained was normal cats and dogs.

These two types of animals were very popular, too. Very quickly, for a price of about 500 to 600 thousand each, the people present bought a total of 62 pet dogs and 48 pet cats.

“Then, next is to calculate how much all of these pets were sold for, right?” Sun Yuanzhou looked at the members of the Chamber of Commerce and took over a form that his assistant passed to him. He smiled and said, “I think it should be quite a lot.”

Then, he looked at the form and was totally astonished.

“This… this…” Sun Yuanzhou’s head was full of cold sweat. “The figures are a bit too big, let me calm down first…”

Who was Sun Yuanzhou? The largest electrical appliances magnate in the entirely Heavenly State with a net worth of 50 plus billion, and even he said that the figure was a bit too big. Then…

To be honest, the scene at the auction was quite heated and bustling, and there were also a lot of animals being auctioned. Therefore, no one really calculated properly the total figure, but they knew that all of these animals added up should be worth quite a lot.

However, after Sun Yuanzhou calmed down and read the figure, everyone present still became totally astonished.

Sun Yuanzhou read: “For the pet’s auction this time, there was a total of 70 special animals and 110 normal animals auctioned. The total value of the sum received is… 691 million yuan!”

After he read this figure, everyone in the International Convention Center was astonished.

691 million! The auction this time actually auctioned such a large figure!

Actually, with the status and position of the people here, they shouldn’t be so shocked at such a figure. However, Hong Dali’s pets asset was believed to be of the less value by them, but now these pets actually fetched him such a high price of near 700 million!?

Momentarily, everyone started discussing—

“God, Young Master Dali is really a money-making machine. I didn’t feel anything when the pets were being auctioned, but once the values really came out…”

“Just this asset of his alone almost reached a value of 700 million. That’s 700 million. He went into so many industries, he probably doesn’t even remember how many there are, right?”

“I am really convinced now… I didn’t really count during the auction, but once the values are tabulated…”

Hong Weiguo was obviously stunned, too.

He knew that Hong Dali’s luck was always very good and could earn at anything he did. But the problem was, these earnings were really too much, right? Just such a short while and he earned 700 million!?

“Old Tie, quick, pinch me, am I dreaming now?” Liu Yihui was stunned as well and muttered, “700 million in such a short while, how did the animals sell for so much?”

“I don’t really understand too, we got a capital of 700 million just like that?” Mu Tie’s eyes widened. “Then, if we tabulate everything that this kid did…”

“Returning to the Chamber of Commerce would totally be a piece of cake!” Liu Yihui fiercely poked Hong Weiguo and asked, “Elder Brother, your house’s Dali must be the reincarnation of the God of Fortune, right?”

“About that.” Hong Weiguo, in a daze, said, “Now I am not very sure as well…”

Tianhai Military Headquarters, large conference room.

“God, just an auction like this and Hong Dali obtained almost 700 million yuan!” Someone exclaimed, “He’s practically robbing! Even robbing a bank wouldn’t get money as fast as him!”

“This little rascal…” The Bureau Chief fiercely slapped his thigh and said, “I already said that Boss wouldn’t see someone wrongly, this rascal does indeed have a few moves! This is only the pets asset that people thought little of, and it’s already so ferocious. This…”

Speaking of which, for the auction this time, Hong Dali had the advantage of both timing, people, and location.

Timing—Hong Weiguo planned to return to the Chamber of Commerce. The people there subconsciously supported that notion, so they all gave a higher price than they normally would.

Location—all of the richest people in Heavenly State were gathered there. They have high purchasing power!

People—if the pets were auctioned at another place, they might not be able to fetch such a high price. But it was different here because anything below tens of millions was insignificant to them.

Although from the appearance just one or two beings offering 10 or 20 million didn’t seem like a lot, there were many people here!

The five magnates, 120 inner members, 400 plus outer members. The net worth of the five magnates was all above 50 billion, for the inner members it was above 10 billion, and for the outer members, it was above 2 billion!

It could be said that all the people with the highest purchasing power were gathered here, not a single one of them was missing.

Therefore, how could their purchasing power be compared to normal people? It wasn’t an overstatement to say that as long as these people liked an item, money definitely wouldn’t be a problem!

Therefore, the pets assets for the first and second floor of the Chenhui Building directly fetched a capital of almost 700 million yuan!

“Weiguo.” Wen Jianan looked at Hong Weiguo with pleased eyes, as if he wasn’t looking at an impeached member, but as if Hong Weiguo had already returned to the Chamber of Commerce. “Do you want to inform Dali of the large sum of money earned this time? Oh my, if he knows that these pets sold for so much, I reckon he won’t persist in not selling them anymore, right?”

Wen Jianan’s meaning was very clear.

He sold those pets for almost 700 million, Hong Dali shouldn’t reject selling them anymore, right? Wen Jianan was still waiting to get his two tigers. Also, his words had another meaning. The pets sold for almost 700 million, the money naturally had to be calculated under Hong Dali’s company. Therefore, they naturally should inform Hong Dali of this matter.

Hong Weiguo naturally understood Wen Jianan’s meaning. He instantly smiled and nodded. “OK, Director Wen. I shall inform Dali now.” His tone had a smile on it. Very obviously, he was proud of Hong Dali!

When marrying a wife, one should marry someone like Lan Ruoxi. When having a son, one should have someone like Hong Dali. For Hong Weiguo, this lifetime was already worth coming to!

Hong Weiguo directly patted Running Dog to contact Hong Dali. Once they were connected, Hong Weiguo smiled and said, “Dali, the Uncles and Aunts here really liked the pets in your Chenhui Building and wanted to adopt them. The price they offered is quite good too, they offered a total of almost 700 million for the pets. To be exact, it’s 691 million. Why don’t you consider selling them…”

“Huh? You sold all of them?” Hong Dali’s voice came over very quickly. “So much money? I didn’t plan to sell them at first, but I won’t be able to go back and take care of them in the near future. Since you have already sold them, so be it.”

It’s done!

Everyone was very happy. Now that Hong Dali had agreed, these precious highly intelligent animals were theirs! Also, didn’t Hong Dali said that he wouldn’t be coming back in the short term. Therefore, these animals were the only ones of its kind now, the only ones in the entire world!

“Then, Dali, the money.” Hong Weiguo smiled and said in an amiable tone, “The money was after all exchanged from the pets you groomed, so let’s put the money under your name. What do you think?”

“Huh? Put it under my name?” Hong Dali thought for a while and said, “I still have enough money to spend now. Yup, since that money was from the pets, let’s donate all of it and establish a Dali Care For Animals Protection Association or something, something like the Wildlife Conservation Fund. You are in charge of this money, Dad. I am going back to work now.” Speaking up to this point, he didn’t forget to add, “Remember to round it up, make it 700 million.”

Then, he hung up the call.

The entire International Convention Center, plus the large conference room in the military headquarters, instantly went silent.
