With the rapid development of the mainlands’ economy, the importance of formal qualifications and licensing also began to grow.
With this license, it meant that the company could legally issue bonds to society and collect investments from the public. This was of great importance. Lately, this kind of license could only be held by enterprises which received state funds.
This immediately increased Downstream Investment Company’s worth by a hundred fold!
“Baz…”
Jasper turned his head to call on Baz. The latter was slightly nervous since this was his first auction.
“Mr. Laine,” Baz replied courteously. He was rather excited because he knew that Mr. Laine was about to make a move.
“Call a price of 16 million.”
Baz was stunned when he heard Jasper.
The highest price at the scene was 8 million, yet Jasper immediately bid double the price.
While Baz had never attended an auction before, he knew that people did not normally bid for things like this.
However, Baz saw how Jasper showed no signs of changing his mind and did not dare to ask more. He ignored the excitement he felt and raised his bidder card.
“Number 22 calls for 16 million!”
The auctioneer’s excited voice resonated throughout the venue. The hall was in an uproar.
They immediately turned to look at Jasper, who called for such an astronomical price.
It was not just Scott and his helpers, the businessmen who heard Jasper’s registered capital at the door just now were looking at the man too.
The former thought that Jasper did not know any better, while the latter understood that Jasper had the capability to do this.
“You think you can beat me with this?” Scott tilted his head and grinned cheekily.
“Number 1 calls 17 million!”
The auctioneer’s voice rang out after Scott raised his tablet.
“17 million going once, is there anyone willing to offer more?”
Downstream Investment Company had a revaluated value of 16 million. However, auction revaluations were normallyio to 20 percent lower than the market value, otherwise there would be no point in an auction. Therefore, it was not shocking to see the price reaching 17 million.
Scott sneered at Jasper after calling his price.
“Weren’t you rich? Didn’t you want to challenge me? Come one then! Did you lose your voice?”
Scott laughed out loud.
Jasper was currently telling Baz something.
The former looked casual and calm, while the latter had an expression of shock and disbelief.
After talking, Jasper immediately stood up.
He straightened his clothes and told Baz, “I still have a few things to do so I’ll be leaving first. Do you remember what I told you?”
Baz gulped and nodded excitedly.
“Then I’ll get going. I’ll leave this to you.”
Jasper then walked toward the doors with Julian in tow while everyone watched.
“He’s running away?” Scott was stunned and laughed out loud.
“Here I was wondering how powerful you are. But you’re just running away like that?!”
Before Scott could act proud, Baz rose his tablet. “Number 22 calls for 100 million!”
Everyone present was dumbs truck by what they heard.
