The registration threshold for Vintage Deluxe was ten billion dollars, which converted roughly to about 1.6 billion US dollars.
It might sound like a lot, but in reality, just from the data that could be counted, there were nearly three thousand wealthy people in the world who had assets exceeding this amount.
In addition, there was no telling how many invisible tycoons there were, ones who had never announced their assets to the public.
Therefore, Charlie was not surprised that five hundred people had registered in two hours.
However, it was rare for Elaine and Jacob, who were a t home, to start to get angry when they saw the news o f this auction.
When Elaine saw the news feed on her cell phone, she basically did not think before she blurted out and cursed, "I'm afraid that Vintage Deluxe is really stupid! What kind of sh*tty auction is being held that a threshold of ten billion dollars is required for the registration?! Isn't this simply bullsh*t? Who would dare to be so arrogant in an auction?!"
In truth, Jacob had always had a psychological shadow for Vintage Deluxe in his heart.
When he had accidentally broken the vase in Vintage
Deluxe back then, he had almost had a heart attack.
He had finally thrown the blame to Charlie and had wanted to run, but as a result, he had been caught and slapped several times. It had truly been an embarrassing moment for him.
So, after he found out about the news, he immediately had an annoyed look on his face as he said. "What f* eking Vintage Deluxe?! I think they simply want to hype things up. I have been in the antique industry in Aurous Hill for so many years now, so how could I not know of Vintage Deluxe's level? Not to mention comparing them to top auction houses like Christie's o r Sotheby's, but even Poly in Oskia is hundreds of times better than it!"
As Jacob spoke, he continued in disdain, "Even Sotheby’s and Christie's have never dared to make a big deal about capital verification in their auctions. In most cases, they would simply require a deposit of one million dollars for participation in the auction. The mere Vintage Deluxe actually dares to set a threshold o f ten billion dollars? It's simply outrageous! Simply f* eking outrageous!"
Elaine nodded, squinted her eyes, and asked, "Hey, do you think that it's because there is something special about this Rejuvenating Pill?"
Jacob pursed his lips and said, "What can be so special about it? Is it possible that a person could ascend to immortality after eating it? I think that it would be more likely for them to ascend to heaven!
Even the Porcupine Bezoar only costs a few hundred thousand dollars each, right? I think that they simply want to hype things up! Vintage Deluxe has not been able to gain any reputation for itself even after years o f hard work, so I guess that they are simply trying to use some dirty tricks to get some attention this time."
