The Crazy Son-In-Law

Chapter 253: Rounding Up the Numbers



“Twenty million!”

In a moment of hesitation for the rest, Xiao Shun was already somewhat restless, raising his hand to bid.

Kou Zhengqing originally wanted to make a bid, but Xiao Shun’s shout instantly made him retract his hand.

He knew that Xiao Shun now had the right to mobilize all the resources of the Old School Society in Oakland, a special favor given to him by the top management of the Old School Society, a precedent that had never been set before.

So, if he competed with Xiao Shun, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg, so he decided not to join in the fun.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

However, as soon as Xiao Shun spoke up, the Wei family, who had been silent all along, suddenly became interested.

“Fifty million!” Wei Lun signaled to the young man who had just mocked Xiao Shun, and he immediately made a bid.

“Tsk tsk, finally the sparks are flying. Dare to take on the Wei family, let’s see how this young outsider dies today.”

“He extorted five billion from the Wei family yesterday, now he’s rich.”

“One billion!”

Wei Family: “One and a half billion!”

The attendees were amazed. In less than half a minute, a stone jumped from twenty million to one and a half billion. The Wei family really didn’t regard money as money. Even though this stone was indeed somewhat special, it was hard to see its value worth so much money.

“One billion and fifty million once!”

“One billion and fifty million twice!”

“Three billion!”

Just when everyone thought Xiao Shun was going to give up, he shouted again.

This caused an uproar. Doubling twenty million and doubling one and a half billion were two different concepts, right?

Xiao Shun glanced at Yao Cen out of the corner of his eye. Seeing her calm face, it was clear that she had been stimulated so much that she was now used to it.

He pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth: “Why aren’t you stopping me?”

“Can I stop you?” Yao Cen said lightly, extremely calm.

“Today, I can’t be stopped. I must get that thing. Even if I have to spend all our money, I must get it.”

Yao Cen was slightly stunned, looked at his determined eyes, and nodded: “Money can be earned again if it’s gone.”

This time it was Wei Lun who began to hesitate. He spent five billion yesterday, and if he spends a few billion more today, even if the Wei family is wealthy, spending billions to buy a stone is somewhat painful.

But this is Harrow, it’s the Wei family’s territory. If they lose this round, the Wei family will truly lose face. He gritted his teeth and nodded.

“Three billion and fifty million!” the Wei family’s young man shouted.

Compared to Xiao Shun’s straightforward doubling, this was a bit weaker in momentum.

“Kid, give up, is it worth it? Planning to put all the five billion you extorted from the Wei family yesterday back in?”

“Yeah, take your five billion and go back to Stillwater to live, why wade into this muddy water.”

“The Wei family just doesn’t want to stoop to his level, if it were me, I wouldn’t pay him that five billion. I still say this kid’s secretary deliberately set me up.”

At this time, Tang Shishi also didn’t quite understand. For a stone, was it necessary?

“Mr. Xiao, you’re not really planning to spend billions to buy this stone, are you? That would make people laugh at you for having no taste and being a big sucker. I think the Wei family is deliberately baiting you, trying to make you spit out the compensation you helped Xiao Ding get yesterday.” Tang Shishi said in a low voice.

Xiao Shun ignored her, smiled faintly, and said: “Since it’s for charity, we can’t be too stingy. Let’s round up the numbers, ten billion!”

The room fell silent.

Everyone was stunned.

Had he gone mad?

Is this how you round up numbers?

Aren’t four billion and five billion round numbers?

For most of the businesses present, ten billion is a huge amount.

Even if their companies are worth tens of billions, or hundreds of billions, to take out ten billion in cash at once is a cost that their companies can hardly bear, not to mention for them personally.

Most importantly, this is just a stone!

This is an unfair competition. The Sea Spirit will maximize its effect in Xiao Shun’s hands, while if the Wei family gets it, they can only use it as an air conditioner at home.

The spirit energy contained in the Sea Spirit is very weak, and the nourishing effect on the body is not so obvious. The cultivator next to Wei Lun should know this.

You think your Wei family is very strong?

I’ll knockyou down so you can’t get up!

Those who had mocked Xiao Shun just now all closed their mouths at this point, holding their breaths and looking towards the Wei family’s table.

Wei Lun’s old face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

They had investigated Xiao Shun, knew he was the chairman of Golden Harrow, but Golden Harrow was just a second or third-tier company, which boasted a market value of thirty to forty billion, with dispersed equity, and he had only taken over Golden Harrow a few months ago.

He was also the real boss of Starline, but this company was even more insignificant, just a startup that had been established a few months ago and only started making a profit after the Lunar New Year.

As for his position as the branch head of the Old School Society, it was secretly announced by the assistant chairman of the Central Plains District, Haitang, in Stillwater. Not even the management of the Old School Society might know about it, let alone the Wei family, and in just one day, there was very limited information they could gather.

Other than those, he was just a man who was once called a waste of a son-in-law, and only started rising in these few months. What kind of foundation could such a person have to compete with the Wei family?

As for why He Guangji and Kou Zhengqing would stand up for Xiao Shun, they were probably deliberately targeting Wei Wendong, rather than having any real connection with Xiao Shun.

So the Wei family never expected him to be so tough and so rich.

Ten billion, if they followed, the Wei family would be seriously hurt.

“Kid, have you made up your mind to oppose the Wei family?” Wei Lun looked at Xiao Shun with a cold gaze.

“The Wei family is not yet qualified for me to consider you as opponents. If you can follow, follow, if not, give up. Why waste words?”

Xiao Shun retorted sharply.

He then frowned, looked at the auction stage, and indirectly criticized, “How unprofessional is this auctioneer? How long has it been and the hammer hasn’t fallen yet? Waiting for the Wei family to make a decision? Who taught you to be so biased? Do you want to wait until tomorrow for the Wei family to raise enough money and then we can start over?”

The auctioneer’s face changed slightly, and he quickly cleared his throat, “Ten billion once!”

“Ten billion twice!”

“Eleven billion!” Wei Lun, his face as green as iron, gritted his teeth. The Wei family could not back down, otherwise, they would lose face.

“Twenty billion!”

Xiao Shun held a glass of red wine in one hand and lightly tapped the table with the index finger of his other hand, saying nonchalantly.

The room was very quiet, he didn’t need to speak very loudly, everyone could hear clearly.

There was a moment of silence throughout the venue.

“Do you even have that much money, tm? Don’t think I don’t know you, just a small company whose name I’ve never even heard, and it’s still being run by your wife, do you think money comes when you call for it? Idiot!”

The young member of the Wei family who had mocked Xiao Shun in front finally couldn’t help shouting, feeling suffocated by being suppressed.
