"All right!"
"1.6 billion!"
At Gu Cheng's declaration, the entire room fell silent.
The kid had actually raised the bid?!
He really was ruthless!
He really was arrogant!
He really had the recklessness of youth!
1.6 billion!
Was he insane?!
Even many business tycoons worth ten billion couldn't come up with that much cash.
Many of the big shots attending today's auction were at that level, but there was no way they would spend a tenth of their net worth on a gourd that could only store water.
They all stared at Gu Cheng in astonishment.
Had the kid really lost his mind and gotten into a bidding war out of spite?
Or did he have something else in mind?
The old man toying with the Wen Walnuts laughed heartily. "A newborn calf truly has no fear of tigers. Good, very good. Young man, I have high hopes for you. I look forward to the day you shine."
The old man surnamed Xu also studied Gu Cheng for a moment before smiling faintly. "The younger generation really is overtaking the old. Young man, let me offer you some advice you may not want to hear: don't rush ahead too fast, or you might find yourself in over your head."
With that, he turned and returned to his seat.
Gu Cheng gave two hearty laughs. "Thank you both for your encouragement. I'll remember your kindness."
Then he returned to his seat as well.
The host began asking whether anyone wanted to bid further.
No one answered.
1.6 billion!
The price was already very high.
Although he looked determined to win, what if someone placed another bid now and he suddenly decided he didn't want it...
What would they do then?!
So everyone watched as the host finished counting down from five.
