Chapter 1086  : Research Is Burning Money

“Master Wang.”

Qin Si sighed and turned around, preparing to speak to Ye Wangchuan.

He turned around and saw the man sitting on the sofa leaning against the side of the sofa calmly. His handsome face was extremely eye-catching and outstanding.

At this moment, his eyes were narrowed slightly as he crossed his legs. He picked up the teacup with one hand and took a sip. Then, he slowly put down the cup and took out his phone. He clicked on the girl’s profile picture on WeChat and called her.

“Beep...”

A call immediately sounded in the private room.

“Are you calling Sister Qiao?” Qin Si’s attention was also attracted as he walked over...

Luo Qing, Chen Zhu, and Gu San looked down at the auction area.

.....

The auction had already begun.

What was sold in the beginning was very rare. It was a research and development technology for a new energy car.

New energy was now one of the global hot trends. Electric cars and automated vehicle technology were the core industries of the future.

Every multinational corporation wanted a share of the pie!

Everyone wanted to showcase their skills in this aspect. The results of mature technology research and development in this aspect seemed even more precious.

Indeed, the price of the auction below was not low.

The starting price Jin Chen gave was seven digits. It was simple and crude without the fancy auction methods of the domestic auction houses.

“57,000.”

As soon as the price was out, someone immediately followed.

“60,000.”

“87,000.”

“90,000.”

“...”

With such a high price, it only received seven or eight follow-ups. It was already about to break through eight digits and go straight into nine digits.

This was the first time Luo Qing and Chen Zhu had come to such an occasion. They were a little frightened by the biddings’ ferocity for a moment.

Chen Zhu’s face was pale. He raised his hand in surprise and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, then turned to look at Gu San in shock and asked in a low voice, “Aren’t the auction prices here... high?”

“More or less.” Gu San didn’t find it strange. He poured a cup of tea for them and placed it at their respective tables. He then stretched his neck and looked down. After taking a look, he retracted his gaze disinterestedly and explained to them casually, “This is not high. This is just an appetizer. The really expensive things are placed at the end.”

The rare metals they were here for today were the items for the finale of the auction.

It could only be said that doing research was burning money!

If not for the Ninth Branch, not many people in the country would dare to take out what Master Cheng wanted.

“This isn’t expensive?!” Luo Qing smacked his lips and gasped. His face turned green when the bid reached 100 million. He couldn’t believe that money could be spent like this.

The auction downstairs was in full swing.

The things Ye Wangchuan wanted were in the finale. Gu San was responsible for keeping an eye on them. Gu San would remind him when it came to the things they wanted to buy.

The first time he called Qiao Nian, the girl did not pick up.

It was only picked up in the last few seconds of the second call.

The cold aura around Ye Wangchuan naturally retracted.

The moment the video call was picked up, it shook violently. It seemed like Qiao Nian was adjusting the direction of the camera on the other end. After chaotic darkness, the camera finally lit up.

The girl seemed to have just come out of the shower. She was wearing a sweater, and the hem of the sweater revealed her straight white legs.

Her hair was still dripping. She casually picked up a towel and wiped it. Then, she tilted her head and looked over through the camera arrogantly with her clear eyes.
