What if he had accidentally thrown the cheque into the washing machine to wash with his clothes?
Oh my God! It was shocking for them to even think about it.
Kenneth's face twitched faintly in anger. He really did not understand why this piece of trash could actually have so much money. Wasn't he just a useless son-in-law of the Wilson family? 3
Charlie asked the host, "Since no one can outbid me and since I can afford to pay one hundred million dollars for it, the superb purple ginseng should belong to me now, right?"
The host regained his senses and said immediately," Now, I am going to announce that this three-hundred-year-old purple ginseng belongs to..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Kenneth hurriedly said, "Stop! I am going to increase the bid now!"
Everyone at the scene was shocked yet again.
The auction had begun at five million dollars, and the bid was already at one hundred million dollars now. Was he really going to continue bidding and increasing the price?
The purple ginseng was not even worth that much
money! Were these two people insane?
Jeffrey hurriedly reminded him, "Chairman Wilson! It i s truly a waste to spend one hundred million dollars just to buy that piece of purple ginseng. You could do s o much more with this amount of money! Why would you want to waste it just like that?"
At this time, Kenneth quickly asked, "If I can't get my hands on the purple ginseng, what about your new medicine? How would I be able to cure my illness, then?" 2
As both of them were talking, a middle-aged man who was slightly bald rushed over to them before he said t o Jeffrey, "I am sorry, Mr. Weaver. I am late because I was waiting for the laboratory results!"
The person speaking was the chief pharmacist at Weaver Pharmaceutical. He had just rushed over here from the pharmaceutical factory after checking out the benefits and uses of the purple ginseng on behalf o f Jeffrey.
Jeffrey hurriedly asked, "Professor Cruz, I am so glad that you're here. Do you think that the piece of purple ginseng on stage is worth a hundred million dollars?"
"One hundred million dollars?!" Professor Cruz shook his head as he laughed slightly. "It is not worth that much money. The market price for a three-hundred-year-old purple ginseng should only be thirty million dollars at most! No one should be paying a higher amount than that. Only a fool would buy a three hundred years old purple ginseng for one hundred million dollars...” "What about Chairman Wilson’s illness, then?" Jeffrey asked immediately.
