But now is not the time for all of humanity to progress together. To exaggerate, whoever has it will become the hegemon of the world!

It's no wonder why these people are so excited.

Of course, while getting it, it also brings mortal danger to itself.

However, Tao Bao must help Gong Ming get this thing in his hands now, once this kind of thing falls abroad, it will be a devastating disaster for her future life.

Even if there is a war in the future, as a native of country Z, she naturally hopes that her country will have the upper hand.

Thinking like this, Tao Bao turned his head to look at Gong Ming and gave him a reassuring look.

Gong Ming was stunned, but he quickly reacted to Tao Bao's meaning, and he was surprised and relieved at the same time.

After a short time, after the host explained, the auction officially began.

The starting price is 1 billion, and the card is 100 million at a time, in US dollars, which is not ordinarily large. Without the backing of strong funds, it is impossible to take it down.

Gong Ming was not in a hurry to bid, but in just a short time, the price had soared to four billion.

Some of them are for the individual, but there are also many for their country, and the individual has the upper hand at the beginning, but when the bidding price reaches 500 million, there are only a few people left.

Without the support of the country's strong forces, even the world's richest man will not be able to take out 500 million, after all, this is capital, not fixed assets.

The hostess excitedly asked on the stage: "This gentleman is 500 million, is there anyone higher than him?

"Is it not? Is it really not? If not, I'm going to count down?" the hostess blinked, with an expression that if you don't shout, I'm going to start hammering.

"Fifty-one!" a deep male voice shouted.

This opening seemed to click some strange button, and another round of shouting began, and the price soared all the way to six billion, and the growth rate was simply terrifying.

Tao Bao noticed that there were three pairs of people left, a pair of people from country M, a pair of people from country E, and a pair of people from country R. Coincidentally, it was the woman who Kojiro Woo and the woman who danced with Gong Ming.

Gong Ming mentioned it once, her name is Sakura Minako.

It is clear that what these three people represent behind them is their country.

"Six billion! Is there anything higher?"

Hearing the hostess's words, the three teams quieted down, this price was the price that Sakura Minako called, and the other two teams had obviously given up.

Once the amount reaches a certain point, they have to resort to other means to get the gem on the auction table.

Tao Bao looked at Gong Ming and asked with his eyes: Do you still want to bid?

After all, six billion is completely enough to hire dozens of top killers. Of course, Tao Bao only kept this in his heart, everyone can understand it, there is no need to say it clearly.

Gong Ming glanced at Sakura Minako, and the other party sent her a wave of autumn, and her eyes were full of imperativeness.

"Seven billion!" Gong Ming raised the sign in his hand.

As soon as his voice fell, Tao Bao's sharp eyes saw a trace of astonishment in Sakura Minako's eyes, obviously unable to believe that Gong Ming, a person who was silent from beginning to end, could actually come up with such a large sum of money.

Of course, not only her, but everyone else, including the mysterious old man on the stage, was also full of surprise, but soon, the old man smiled.

No one dislikes a lot of money, not to mention that the seven billion is still prepared for him.

The hostess reacted for a while before she asked, "This gentleman is seven billion, is there anything higher?"

After she asked, she found that there was no sound below, and she already knew it in her heart, so she raised the small hammer in her hand and asked with a smile:

"No? Then I'm counting down? Seven billion once, seven billion twice, seven billion three times!"

The sound of "Bang" is final, "Deal!"

"Congratulations to this gentleman for buying this ruby for seven billion, sir, please come up and claim your loot!" the male host shouted with a smile, and did not forget to sweep the Tao Bao beside Gong Ming ambiguously.

Gong Ming got up, Tao Bao grabbed his arm, and walked up the stage with him.

The hostess had an extra credit card machine in her hand, Gong Ming glanced at the old man, and the other party showed a kind smile at him, raised his hand, and motioned for him to swipe the card first.

It is impossible for ordinary people to hand over such a large amount of credit card machine and bank card, but this machine is very different, as long as you dare to swipe, it is no problem how much the amount is.

Gong Ming reached into his trouser pocket and took out a card and handed it to the hostess.

The hostess finished the formalities to be done, handed the credit card machine to Gong Ming and entered the password.

At this time, Gong Ming said with a smile: "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, Ning Lao, please hand over the ruby to this lady beside me." ”

Ning Lao shrugged his shoulders, stood still in place, and said with a smile: "You young children are very good, but my old man has always had an excellent reputation, you can rest assured, pay the money first, and then inspect the goods." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the Sakura Minako and the others who were eyeing him and added: "You don't want it, there are more people who want it~"

Gong Ming frowned, so he had to take the credit card machine and enter the password, but he also kept an eye on it, leaving the last two without entering.

This Ning Laohei is used to eating black, and he really doesn't think he has any credibility at all. Without the old man himself unlocking the code, this ruby would not have been able to leave the hotel with him.

Seeing that Gong Ming stopped entering the password, Ning Lao laughed, and said with the helpless tone of the elders to the juniors:

"You kid, Gong family, I don't think I've seen you before, who are you, old man Gong?"

Gong Ming also smiled back at him, and said lightly: "I have to trouble Ning Lao to help me hand over the ruby to the young lady next to me, otherwise the beauty will be angry, and it will be difficult for me to coax the juniors." ”

"Hey, you kid is kind of funny, kind of funny. Ning Lao stretched out his finger and pointed at him, picked up the black box helplessly, took out the ruby and handed it to Tao Bao, and teased:

"No, little girl, you can put it away, if you lose it, it's 700 million. ”

Tao Bao glanced at him lightly, took the ruby without any expression, and didn't even say thank you.

Ning Lao was stunned, frowned, and was about to ask who this was, but Gong Ming had already entered the password one step ahead of him, and pulled Tao Bao to leave.

"Elder Ning, the money is gone, then we will go first. ”

After that, he pulled Tao Bao off the stage, Ning Lao's eyes flashed with a touch of confusion, but he didn't stop them, and saw them leave, only then did he raise his hand and signal the waiter to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, those present immediately got up and walked away quickly.

Ning Lao watched them go out in a hurry one by one, the smile on his face gradually enlarged, and finally he burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, a group of young people, young people, hahaha......"

For a long, long time, his laughter could still be heard in this room.
