I Regenerate 10,000 Times Faster-Chapter 149: 100 Million!
Now, even after all these years, the Wyatt Group was still standing strong. So, if the Bart Group were to get their hands on the serum and analyze its secrets, they would definitely be able to surpass the Wyatt Group's success.
"Are these people mad?" Tyrion was stunned, as he had never seen 10 million relic gold in his entire life!
The enhanced Atomic Serum's practical value was just around 100 to 200 thousand relic gold. As such, this price tag meant that it had increased exponentially in value! This shocked Blair, Woodsen, and the others.
"I bid 10.1 million!" Blair said, gritting her teeth.
"I bid 20 million!" Woodsen's expression remained unchanged.
This time, the crowd looked at Woodsen as if he were a madman. After all, Blair had only added 100 thousand, but he had raised the bid all the way to 20 million!
"I bid 21 million," Hue said again.
"I bid 30 million," Woodsen said.
"I bid 35 million!" The Emmerson Group's representative chimed in.
"I bid 41 million!" Blair shouted, getting more anxious.
"I bid 50 million!" Woodsen again.
Right now, the other bidders looked at Woodsen as if they wanted to rip him apart. In their opinion, Woodsen was not competing fairly at all! His strong attitude was telling everyone that Bart Group would get the enhanced Atomic Serum no matter what.
"I bid 51 million!" Blair said angrily.
"Well then, let's make it 100 million!" After Woodsen said that, the whole place went silent. Even Briston's mouth hung open in shock.
As the auction organizer, Briston had predicted that the enhanced Atomic Serum would cause a commotion. However, he had never expected that someone would buy it for such a sky high price!
"Woodsen, you've surely gone mad!" Blair said furiously.
"That bid has exceeded its value by far too much. The Podell Group officially gives up on this auction!" Hue announced, then shook his head and sighed.
Following him, the other main competitors also backed out.
"Okay, 100 million relic gold, calling once! Is there anyone who still wants to bid?"
"Calling twice!"
"Calling thrice! Deal!"
...
The moment Nicolas's hammer fell, his hands trembled with excitement. As an auctioneer, it was his first time completing a deal with such a huge price tag.
Woodsen breathed a sigh of relief, a triumphant smile on his face. He hurried to complete the deal, lest the other party change their mind and refuse to trade. This transaction was destined to cause a huge sensation!
Many were stunned by Bart Group's financial resources. Of course there were also others, who felt it was a lemon of a deal and that Woodsen had bought the enhanced Atomic Serum for too high of a cost. Woodsen, however, did not care too much about their opinions, and immediately reported the deal to the management.
"You did a very good job! The group won't forget your contributions." Brand Bart, a representative of the Bart Group in the State of Newtone, smiled and praised Woodsen.
Was it a loss-making deal to spend 100 million on the enhanced Atomic Serum?
No! Definitely not a loss!
Besides, Bart Pharmaceutical Group made a huge profit!
Brand paid no attention to what other people thought of this matter. After he purchased the enhanced Atomic Serum, he immediately made plans for the next day.
In the State of Newtone, at the Donald Pharmaceutical Group's headquarters…
"The successful bidder for the enhanced Atomic Serum was the Bart Group? You are a bunch of idiots!" Donson shouted angrily and picked up something from the table and smashed it. He then said, "You guys are a bunch of crap! The group spent so much money to hire you, and you could not even do this one little thing right! A bunch of idiots! Useless!
You don't have to come to work tomorrow! You've all been fired!"
Donson was like a tornado, smashing nearly everything in the meeting room. Others, terrified by his rage, scurried out of the meeting room.
The staff, including those outside the meeting room, were also horrified. They had never seen Donson so mad before!
On normal days, Donson was gentle and polite, speaking and laughing with a noble's temperament. In fact, he was like Prince Charming in the eyes of many female employees. However, Donson had behaved like a tyrant today!
Currently, Donson and Hingata were the only two persons left in the meeting room. After venting his anger, Donson sat down in his chair and said gloomily, "What now? Our Donald Group is already one step behind the Bart Group. If they were to uncover some secrets before us now, the Atomic Serum that we produce would surely be surpassed."
Others thought that the Bart Group was crazy. However, in Donson's view, the deal was a wise investment. He would have even paid 1 billion for it, had he been there.
"From what I know of Brand, he'll be able to earn back ten times, or even a hundred times, the money that he spent," Donson said.
"It's too late to say anything now, so we must turn our attentions to thinking of a remedy. We don't necessarily have to get our hands on the serum to create our own enhanced Atomic Serum," Hingata said calmly.
"What do you mean by that?" Donson looked at Hingata.
Hingata smiled and said, "The enhanced Atomic Serum was not developed by the Tronic Group. As long as we can find the Fiend who created it, the enhanced Atomic Serum will then fall into our hands."
Donson calmed down and thought about the feasibility of this suggestion. He had not thought of this important point yet, as he had been far too angry and lost in his emotions.
Would it be much easier to find the Chemist who refined the serum, rather than to obtain the enhanced Atomic Serum itself?
"But, we don't even have a clue about Mr. Fiend, or whether he is a person or a research team. Moreover, if Mr. Fiend joins us, who will lead the research and development team of our Donald Group?" Donson asked, while looking at Hingata.
