"Eight hundred million!"
When the price reached 800 million, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became stagnant. This was because the price was already very high. Many people were already reluctant to use so much money to buy such a scroll.
Even so, there were still seven or eight people who continued to raise the price.
"830 million!" "840 million!" " 850 million!"
Finally, someone could not hold on any longer and began to retreat. Zhou Chen looked at the private rooms that were bidding. He already knew in his heart that so far, only the White Beard Pirates, the Navy Headquarters, the Big Mom Pirates, the Hundred Beasts Pirates, the two kings, and the Don Quijote family's Doflemingo were left.
The person who came from the Big Mom Pirates was not Charlotte Lingling herself, but her second son. As for the other four emperors, the red-haired Shanks, he was not among the bidders.
"This is the only teleportation scroll left in the world. It might not appear again in the future, so this is out of print. If you don't buy it now, you won't have the chance to buy it even if you want it again in the future. Therefore, everyone, think carefully. Isn't this treasure more important than anything else?"”
Zhou Chen's speech was actually very ordinary, but he could not stand the quality of his items. Therefore, even though everyone knew that he was a sh * t stirrer, they still had no choice but to fall for his trick and continue to raise the price.
In fact, the navy headquarters and the four emperors were not what Zhou Chen cared about the most. He was more concerned about the two kings who were still bidding and Doframingo. These two kings were the richest among the kings he had invited. A few hundred million was nothing to them, and it was the same for Doframingo. Because he took the dark path, he had a lot of money. This could be seen from the fact that he had spent a few hundred million to buy a Snow Fruit.
Therefore, these three people were what Zhou Chen cared about the most. If nothing unexpected happened, the scroll would definitely belong to one of them.
"One billion!"
When Marko called out this price, the auction house was instantly shocked. The broken blade had been sold for one billion, but that broken blade was not very useful to many people. Only swordsmen like Hawkeye would fight for it at all costs. However, this teleportation scroll was different. It could be used by anyone. Even if it was a one-time consumable, in the eyes of everyone, its value was much higher than the broken blade with the Destruction Sword Intent.
"This old man with the white beard is really rich. He actually spent so much to buy a one-time consumable.”
Everyone knew that the bidder was the White Beard Pirates, so many people were rather surprised, but they were not surprised. After all, it was the White Beard Pirates, the famous Four Emperors Pirate in the New World. His wealth was not something that ordinary people could imagine. Although one billion was not a small amount, it was not too much of a pressure for the Four Emperors Pirates.
The reason why White Beard was bidding was because he had grown up step by step from a small pirate to his current status. He even wanted to obtain this scroll because it was important for him to protect his life.
There were naturally people who had the same thoughts as White Beard, so the price of one billion did not scare everyone.
"1.05 billion!"
At this price, no one increased the bid bit by bit. They directly increased it by 50 million. The person who made the bid was Warlord of the Navy Headquarters. The Navy and the pirates were sworn enemies. He naturally could not watch the White Beard Pirates get this item.
Zhou Chen was very excited when he saw the two sides fight. This was more than one billion Bailey. Other than his auction houses, no other auction house could sell an item for such a price. Even the mermaids of the Merman Race could only sell for a few hundred million Bailey at most. A good demon fruit might be able to sell for a lot of money, but the problem was that it could only be found by chance. Ordinary demon fruits were only worth more than 100 million Bailey.
"1.1 billion!"
The one who spoke was the rich and powerful Doflemingo. Now that his Don Quijote family was on the right track, and the underground forces were also developing well, the annual income was in the hundreds of millions. Even if 1.1 billion was already very high, he still gritted his teeth and quoted the price.
"1.15 billion!"
"1.18 billion!"
"1.2 billion!"
One of the two remaining kings bid 1.2 billion. This king's country was one of the world's alliance countries. It was a top-notch country in the first half of the Great Sea Route. The annual tax revenue was very shocking. The country was very rich, so a billion was nothing to him.
Although the navy headquarters and pirate forces were also rich, it was very troublesome to transfer so much money from the navy headquarters even in the warring states. Although the pirate forces were not as troublesome as the navy headquarters, they had to ensure that their subordinates were strong when they were operating in the new world. Besides experts, they also needed weapons, guns, and ammunition. These all required money.
Therefore, compared to the king of a large country, their financial resources were naturally much worse.
In fact, Zhou Chen knew this from the beginning. It was not that he had not thought of gathering all the richest people in the world to participate in the auction so that he could earn money faster, but this idea was rejected in an instant.
This was because the things he sold needed people who knew their stuff. For example, the Devil's Fruit, the broken blade, and even the Vice Admiral. If it weren't for the existence of experts like the War Kingdom and White Beard, it would be impossible for these rich kings to sell them for such a high price.
More importantly, if he wanted to expand the reputation of all the auction houses, he could not do without these big shots in the world. After all, everyone in the world knew about White Beard and the Warring States Period, but how many people knew about the king of a certain country? Who knew where the richest man was?
Therefore, in the end, Zhou Chen chose some world-famous big shots and rich people. Since he could increase his reputation and sell them for a good price, reality proved that his choice was completely correct. Basically, every auction item was sold at the price he wanted, or even much higher.
