Chapter 192: Shanghai Fantasy
As the organizer of such a high-level auction, it’s only natural for them to conduct a financial investigation of all invited guests before the auction begins. After all, they can’t possibly invite people without money just to add some excitement to the event!
Moreover, since Wu Hao had not been among those actively invited when the auction tickets were obtained through the AI Zero, the AI had to use the funds in its bank account to give Wu Hao the green light.
Naturally, the auction organizers were more than willing to accommodate a guest with $15 billion in cash deposits at a Swiss bank.
Additionally, after Wu Hao had purchased the ancient jade compass for $2 billion and completed the payment, the organizers had no reason to doubt his financial capability.
However, even though Wu Hao’s aggressive bidding was secretly pleasing both the organizers and the sellers, they didn’t want to offend the two major families—Will and Mede—by pushing things too far.
Thus, as long as it was within their capability, they would be very accommodating to Will and Mede.
Upon hearing this from Hill, Will and Mede decided to abandon their plans to continue bidding against Wu Hao. With the meteorite’s price having already soared far beyond the original base price, any further competition might push the price beyond $10 billion.
$10 billion is not a small amount. This sum could almost be used to build the most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the U.S. or purchase several F-22s.
