If it weren't for the fact that the media was forbidden from entering the party, Xu Taiping's face would have been completely white from the flashing lights.

440 million. It directly doubled the price that Li Jiangshan had offered. This kind of bid caused everyone's heart to tremble. Even Li Jiangshan's eyebrows couldn't help but tremble.

The host on stage opened his mouth wide, unable to speak.

"Are you crazy? 440 million? If Li Jiangshan does not increase the price, you will have to pay! " Zhao Xiaohua said in an excited and low voice.

"Just pay." Xu Taiping smiled and said, "I'm very rich."

"No matter how rich you are, it still won't be this despicable!" Zhao Xiaohua said.

"Don't worry, he'll raise the price again." Xu Taiping said.

"Is that so? "Then that's for the best, you can't yell that, 440 million, this is too scary!" Zhao Xiaohua said.

Just as Zhao Xiaohua finished his sentence, Li Jiangshan raised his hand and shouted, "Five hundred million!"

500 million raised the price to a new high, but the shock on everyone's face wasn't as strong as before when Xu Taiping doubled the price. After all, it was Xu Taiping who raised the price to this level first.

"500 million, our Young Master Li bids 500 million, regardless of the results of this sale, we will definitely enter it into the annals of history this time." 500 million, our Young Master Li bids 500 million, regardless of the results of this sale, we will enter the annals of history this time. The host said excitedly.

"Alright, stop shouting. Let him buy the five hundred million. This wave has already tricked him to over four hundred million. It's enough!" Zhao Xiaohua said.

Xu Taiping smiled. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he slowly raised his hand and said, "Double the price, one billion."

"Hiss!"

One had to know that in today's literary auction, the highest bid was only 700 million, and the highest was for something that had room for appreciation. Only buyers would be willing to pay such a high price, and no matter how one looked at it, the room for appreciation would be very limited, if it was multiplied by three or four times, even if it was multiplied by three or four times, the value would not reach 100 million, not to mention a billion. This was simply a joke price, and everyone present thought that Xu Taiping must be crazy.

"Xu Taiping, are you crazy?" Li Jiangshan angrily stood up and looked towards Xu Taiping, "You spent one billion to buy a hairpin that was over 200 years ago? Even if this thing was drilled, it wouldn't be worth a billion yuan, do you know that? "

"I have money, I'm happy, I don't think it's worth it. Just shut up, I don't think it's a big deal to spend more money on research and treatment. The value of this hairpin is not that high, but I'm willing to pay more, okay?" Xu Taiping asked with a smile.

"Crazy, truly crazy." As Li Jiangshan spoke, he pulled his female companion and walked out. From the looks of it, he had completely given up on bidding.

Although he was rich, he didn't have the money to spend a billion freely. Most of his money was still his father's, if his father knew that he spent billions to buy a jade hairpin, he would definitely be killed.

Li Jiang Shan left the stage angrily, but the people present did not welcome him like when Li Jiang Shan came, and most of everyone's attention was on Xu Taiping.

This Xu Taiping shouted a high price of 1 billion, and it even angered the son of the richest man in China. It was indeed very spectacular, but would he be able to afford it?

Many people felt that Xu Taiping couldn't afford it. Even if it was a company worth ten billion, it would definitely not be able to come up with a billion yuan, and once this auction ended, you would have to pay for it. Xu Taiping was so short, how could he possibly bring out a billion yuan in such a short period of time?

If he didn't take out 1 billion now, then even if he sold off his own property to reach 1 billion, it wouldn't be worth it. Everyone here had more than 1 billion worth of wealth, but anyone could take out 1 billion to sell off their own property. However, this was too much of a grievance to themselves, as this was equivalent to spending all of their wealth for more than 10 years or even dozens of years at a time.

"One billion, deal!" The host hammered down and the auction for the jade hairpin came to an end.

Xu Taiping spent one billion and bought a jade hairpin worth several tens of millions.

The entire scene was silent. Everyone was watching Xu Taiping, waiting to see how he would pay the one billion.

Xu Tai gave a calm smile, then took up a card and passed it to Zhao Xiaohua beside him, saying, "Go and pay, there's no password."

Zhao Xiaohua took the card from Xu Taiping in a daze.

This card was black, and the number on it was gold. It looked very strange.

"What are you waiting for? Go on." Xu Taiping said.

"Ah, alright." Zhao Xiaohua recovered and quickly stood up. Then, as if he had thought of something, she said to Xu Taiping in a low voice, "Shall we run?"

"Why are you running? Since I said I would spend this money, then I will have to spend this money. A billion is not a lot for me right now. " Xu Taiping said with a smile.

In fact, one billion yuan wasn't much for Xu Taiping. When the Martial Arts List came out, his company earned a lot of money every day, and they earned a lot of money as well. Right now, Xu Taiping definitely had more than ten billion yuan on hand, so a billion yuan was like sprinkling water for him according to Cantonese.

Zhao Xiaohua could not believe that Xu Taiping had one billion on his card. However, with so many people watching, it was difficult for her to voice out her doubts, so he could only stand up and walk towards the front.

The organizers specially arranged for people to come over to meet up with Zhao Xiaohua.

The organizer's finance department was holding something that looked like a POS machine. They pressed 1 on it and then started pressing zero.

Due to the fact that there were too many zeros, this account had to be confirmed several times after pressing all zeros.

Afterwards, Zhao Xiaohua swiped the card on the machine.

At the same time, the display on the machine displayed the balance on the card.

Zhao Xiaohua glanced at the balance on the card, that string of numbers made her feel like she was suffocating. Although at first glance, he couldn't tell what that number was, but he could be sure that the numbers on the card seemed to be 1 digit more than the 1 billion entered in the previous finance.

Ten billion? Cash?

Zhao Xiaohua felt a little dizzy.

At this moment, the host excitedly shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, our Mr. Xu has already reached 1 billion RMB!"

"The money for the auction has been transferred to our association's account. Tonight is the night that belongs to Mr. Xu. Let us all applaud Mr. Xu's love!"

When everyone present heard the host's words, they were all shocked.

One billion … was it really given out in an instant?

This was cash!

This Mr Xu, just how rich was he? He could actually take out one billion just like that?

After the initial shock, everyone applauded with uncontrollable force.

One billion yuan for a jade hairpin.

The auction this time would definitely be the headlines of tomorrow's news.

Many people began to ponder how they would be able to talk to Xu Taiping in a while, how they would be able to get to know him, and how they should contact him.

Lin Zhaorong personally carried the jade hairpin box. Amidst waves of applause, he walked through half of the venue towards Xu Taiping.

Every step he took was a source of pride to Lin Rong, because every step he took meant that Xu Taiping was now one meter away from the front row. In other words, it meant that he had neglected Xu Taiping just a bit more previously; if he had not neglected Xu Taiping and allowed him to sit in the front row, there would have been no need for him to walk so far.

Many people looked at Xu Taiping's position and wondered why someone as powerful as Xu Taiping would sit so close to him.

Finally, Lin Rong came before Xu Taiping. Looking at Xu Taiping, he said solemnly, "Mr Xu, this is the jade hairpin that you obtained from the auction."

"Thank you." Xu Taiping received the jade hairpin with a smile.

"I represent the Filmmaker's Association, the Hong Kong city's charity association, and all the individuals and organizations dedicated to the study and treatment of the frozen humans. Thank you." Lin Rong stood in front of Xu Taiping, bowing to him.

"It's all right." Xu Taiping smiled. "Our Pingping Foundation will always keep this information in mind. For the Pingping Foundation, even though our focus is on educational contributions, we will still contribute our part to other good deeds."

"Pingping Foundation?!" Lin Rong was stunned for a moment before immediately saying, "I didn't think that Mr Xu would actually set up a foundation. From what you said, this is a charity."

"Yes, it is a foundation focused on the donation of education. Our foundation will contribute to education nationwide at the rate of five schools per year! "I also hope that everyone can support our foundation and the country's education!" Xu Taiping said.

"Definitely!" Lin Ruorong nodded seriously, "As the media, we should take on this social responsibility. I promise that if there are any projects that the Taiping Foundation needs the help of the Hong Kong Film Association, we will definitely take responsibility!"

"Thank you!" Xu Taiping smiled and nodded.

"Thank you again!" Lin Rong bowed to Xu Taiping once again, then turned and left.
