Thanks to My Tycoon System, Divorced, Remarried, and Making Millions

Thinking about it, she really was quite materialistic.

Jiang Li said she wouldn’t bid, and she meant it. Well, mostly because she hadn’t seen anything she liked anyway.

It was all just porcelain, antiques, jade, and the like.

"Our final and most anticipated item for auction is the Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet. It is crafted from pure gold and inlaid with agate. It has the special property of keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer, and can even be used for self-defense. The starting bid is one billion."

’Warm in winter and cool in summer?’

For someone like her, who hated the summer heat and the winter cold, this thing was practically a necessity.

Perhaps because it was the final item, the bidding was quite fierce. Within a minute, the price had already shot up to eight billion.

Letting the others wear themselves out, Jiang Li simply crossed her arms and watched the show unfold.

Five minutes later, the price had rocketed to 50 billion, and only those in the front few rows were still in the running.

The people in the rows behind wanted to raise their paddles, but they simply lacked the financial muscle.

"80 billion!"

Jiang Li raised her paddle and lazily stated a number, "90 billion!"

Cao Wenzhou couldn’t help but grumble to himself. ’Of course. The rich really know how to throw their money around.’

Everyone else was increasing their bids by one billion at a time.

But not Jiang Li. She jumped the bid by ten billion, as if she were tossing around a hundred-dollar bill.

It was clear that Jiang Li was determined to win the Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet.

Perhaps intimidated by Jiang Li’s imposing presence, the man, his face flushed, raised his paddle and shouted, "100 billion."

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow. "200 billion!"

The moment that price was named, the entire hall burst into an uproar.

Two hundred billion! Anyone who didn’t know better might have thought she’d just said two thousand.

Many publicly traded companies didn’t even have 200 billion in liquid capital, yet Jiang Li could casually offer that much.

One could only imagine how terrifyingly powerful she truly was.

"200 billion, going once!"

"200 billion, going twice!"

The man gritted his teeth. "210 billion."

’Even if I can’t win it, I’m not going to let her get it so easily.’

"300 billion."

When Jiang Li called out 300 billion, someone had already pulled out their phone and started recording a video.

After all, in all the years the auction had been held, this was the first time an item had ever fetched a price of 300 billion.

"310 billion."

"400 billion."

The two of them went back and forth. Every time Jiang Li raised the bid by another 100 billion, the man would tack on another 10 billion.

If she hadn’t wanted it so badly, Jiang Li would have been tempted to just let it go.

After all, it was painfully obvious the man was just trying to drive up the price.

"One trillion."

Everyone held their breath, their eyes instinctively turning to the man, wondering if he would raise the bid again.

After all, if he wanted to raise the bid again, he would have to add at least 100 billion.

The man gave Jiang Li a thoughtful look. "I concede."

’To spend a trillion on a single pair of bracelets...’

He didn’t know whether to call Jiang Li ridiculously wealthy or just plain stupid.

Jiang Li nodded. "Thank you."

Xie Wan nearly screamed. She had never seen so much money in her entire life, yet Jiang Li could offer it up so casually.

Her gaze toward Jiang Li grew even more reverent.

"One trillion, going once!"

"One trillion, going twice!"

"One trillion, going three times!"

"Sold for one trillion! Congratulations to the young lady on her winning bid for the Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet!"

In all her time as an auctioneer, this was the first time Linda had ever sold an item for such an astronomical price. The hand holding her gavel trembled slightly.

As Linda finished speaking, all eyes turned to the staff members, everyone wondering if Jiang Li could actually produce that much money.

After all, Jiang Li had already spent tens of billions earlier, and now she was bidding a trillion. No matter how rich her family was, it was unlikely they had that much liquid capital on hand.

But when the transaction went through without a hitch, the way everyone looked at Jiang Li changed completely. They were all eager to go over and introduce themselves.

Cao Wenzhou composed himself and slowly walked onto the stage, a pleasant smile on his face. "Today’s auction has officially concluded. We invite everyone to make their way to the banquet hall."

The moment Cao Wenzhou made the announcement, several men swarmed around Jiang Li. "Miss, hello. I’m the president of Guning Technology."

"Hello, I’m the head of Shengtian Entertainment."

"Hello, miss. I’m in charge of Nanxiong Battery."

The corner of Jiang Li’s mouth twitched. ’Do these people have to be so eager?’

Xie Wan had already been pushed aside by the crowd of men and couldn’t get anywhere near her.

’I was planning to sneak out as soon as this was over,’ she thought, ’but it looks like there’s no chance of that now.’

She awkwardly rubbed her nose and asked in a pitiful voice, "Um... I’m a little hungry. Could you please let me go get something to eat?"

The moment she said this, the men, no matter how desperately they wanted to network with her, cleared a path.

It was no joke. If something happened to her because they’d let her go hungry, ten of their lives wouldn’t be enough to make up for it.

Seeing the crowd part to make way for her, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks."
