Chapter 1698 - 1693: Hoist with One’s Own Petard
Faced with such blunt ridicule, their expressions instantly turned sour.
Previously, they hated Sun Gangmeng, and now they wish they could tear this guy to pieces.
Sun Gangmeng sensed the murderous intent, and smiled indifferently, "What’s the matter? Why are you all looking at me like that? Could it be that I’m wrong?"
They heard Sun Gangmeng’s retort but did not pursue the topic further with him, instead coldly saying, "We’re discussing with Hu Xiaobei now, it has nothing to do with you, so you’d better shut your mouth!"
Sun Gangmeng glanced at them and laughed heartily, "Why should I shut my mouth? Can only you talk cooperation with Master Xiaobei? The Sun Family can too! Let’s start bidding! We offer five million to buy the entire Jade Mine."
Hearing Sun Gangmeng shout out the price, he grabbed his hair frantically and shouted, "Sun Gangmeng, you’re really asking for it!"
"That’s right, I’m asking for it, what can you do? If you don’t want to raise the bid, then get lost."
"Fine! Fine! Fine! Just you wait, just you wait!"
With such a venomous hiss, the person incensed to the extreme squinted his eyes and shouted, "Six million. We offer six million!"
His heart bled when he shouted out the price...
Because it’s three million more than before.
"Eight million!"
"Ten million!"
"Twenty million!"
Like that, the price rose bit by bit, very soon reaching fifty million.
This surprised many present to squint their eyes.
They knew compared to that priceless vein, fifty million wasn’t much.
But for both sides, fifty million was really quite substantial.
After all, they didn’t have that much liquid capital.
"Sixty million, I offer sixty million!"
When he shouted this price, his eyes were bloodshot...
Obviously, he was as furious as could be...
"How wonderful, I offer a hundred million!"
Sun Gangmeng spoke indifferently.
Upon hearing this, he did not continue to bicker with Sun Gangmeng, but turned to Hu Xiaobei, and immediately spoke sinisterly, "Hu Xiaobei, I hope you can see clearly who you can cooperate with long-term. After all, partnerships aren’t just a matter of days, right."
Upon hearing such a cold threat, Hu Xiaobei nodded seriously, "You make sense, I really should think it through."
Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s witty response, he smiled.
But soon his smile froze because he saw Hu Xiaobei walking straight to Sun Gangmeng.
"Sun Family Head, may our collaboration be pleasant!"
Sun Gangmeng heard Hu Xiaobei’s words and laughed heartily, "Master Xiaobei, rest assured, our collaboration will indeed be pleasant!"
"I think so too!"
Saying this, the two chatted away obliviously.
The young members of the Sun Family and the siblings Lv Xinxin witnessed this and realized Hu Xiaobei was teasing the opponent just now.
...
At this moment, the one who threatened Hu Xiaobei earlier finally realized...
"Were you playing me earlier?"
The realization made him glower at Hu Xiaobei with fury...
Hu Xiaobei turned his head and looked at the one suppressing his anger, indifferently said, "Oh, you actually figured it out, seems your IQ isn’t too bad! But you’d better try to nourish your brain."
"Nourish the brain? I’ll have you dead!"
Yelling this, he glanced around at the others and shouted, "Don’t stand there, get him!"
Previously, they wanted to win the Jade Vein bloodlessly.
Now, knowing that wasn’t possible, there was no need to mince words.
"Finally couldn’t hold back after all!"
Hu Xiaobei spoke softly.
As those people rushed forward, Hu Xiaobei wasn’t nervous at all, because as he saw it now, numbers meant nothing.
"Enough, let’s wrap this up quickly, so we can really start mining that Jade Vein!"
Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei acted fast...
In just three minutes, all these people were laid down by Hu Xiaobei.
"Oh my heavens!"
The one who issued the order was stupefied!
All those he brought along were dumbfounded...
"Is this real? Is this real?"
Everyone muttered to themselves...
They were truly stunned because the sight before them went far beyond their imagination.
"Master Xiaobei, amazing!"
Sun Gangmeng was the first to snap back, without hesitation, he spoke excitedly.
Upon hearing Sun Gangmeng’s words, the Sun Family’s young ones quickly applauded.
At this moment, each of them was flushed with excitement.
They admired Hu Xiaobei before, and now they admired him even more.
Feeling the young generation’s reverence, Sun Gangmeng awkwardly exhaled.
Previously, out of greed, he had considered taking action.
He realized he was lucky to have held back, or else he’d be in a miserable state now.
Upon hearing such wild cheers, those who came to stir trouble finally snapped back...
"Defeated!"
They realized they had totally underestimated Hu Xiaobei...
He was far mightier than they ever imagined.
"Retreat!"
They exchanged glances, preparing for a quick exit, yet as they were about to step forward, they froze.
Because at this moment, they heard Hu Xiaobei speak indifferently.
"Oh dear, are you planning to leave? Today marks the first day I decided to partner with Sun Family Head Sun Gangmeng, it’s a day worth celebrating! Let’s have a drink together to celebrate!"
"Celebrate my foot!"
Grumbling inwardly, they quickly replied, "Master Xiaobei, we’d love to stay and celebrate, but too many things need our attention."
"Is that so! If that’s the case, I won’t keep you! Just pay the contribution money before you leave."
Hearing the first half, they were delighted, but upon hearing about contribution money, they felt awkward...
Hu Xiaobei paid no attention to their awkwardness and directly looked at Sun Qiang, "Xiaoqiang, note it down!"
"Alright!"
Sun Qiang swiftly agreed...
Quickly, Sun Qiang came forward, as he approached, they exchanged glances, prepared to cough up some cash and avoid disaster, but suddenly had an urge to cough up blood, because then they heard Hu Xiaobei speaking again...
"Xiaoqiang, you know, everyone struggles to make money, just token contribution money will do, if they offer more than ten million, we absolutely can’t accept!"
"Yes, understood, if they offer over ten million, I definitely won’t take it!"
After such a promise, Sun Qiang looked at their deeply troubled expressions and said calmly, "Alright, let’s start now, don’t let things drag on if you’re busy!"
"Um..."
They exchanged looks, all at a loss!
They had the money but handing over ten million still pained them...
"What, weren’t you here to congratulate? If not, then we should have a chat!"
Seeing their lack of action, Sun Qiang spoke coldly.
These words re-tightened the just relaxed atmosphere...
"Damn!"
Cursing inwardly a few times, they responded quickly, "What are you talking about, of course we’re here to congratulate!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
"Since that’s the case, then pay up!"
"Okay!"
Agreably, they sighed awkwardly and quickly gathered around...
