The price hit 10 million, and the standing fat man, after hesitating for a while, ultimately sat down obediently.
With 10 million, one could now buy a medium-sized company. Although the teapot was precious, once the price rose to 10 million, it started to seem a tad high. The fat man's financial strength simply wasn't enough to keep bidding.
"Lying down quietly is what you should do, pretending to be something you're not when you've got no money, dammit!" the big boss who had bid 10 million mocked.
The fat man in front scowled but ultimately did not retort.
After all, the other party's financial power was evident, definitely a local tycoon. If he persisted in showing off, he might have to face retaliation.
Missing out on the item was one thing, but if he attracted trouble, then attending this auction would be a total loss, to the point of crying to grandma.
