Buying an Island

The auction was about to begin, and the auctioneer went on stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our auction. I hope that everyone will be able to get what you want today!"

Clap... A round of enthusiastic applause rang out.

"Our first item today is the purple grapes.

According to the investigation, this bunch of purple grapes was passed down from China more than a thousand years ago. It was one of the most precious treasures in the palace at that time.

The starting price is five million US dollars. There are no rules in this bidding."

With that said, the highest bid would win.

"Five and a half million!"

"Six million!"

"Seven million!"

...

These foreigners were quite interested in items from China. They were willing to spend a great amount of money to add it to their collections.

In the blink of an eye, the bidding price had breached 10 million.

"12 million!"
