Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 238
Chapter 238: The End of the Auction
It seemed that everyone was unable to predict the results of the second vehicle auction.
Strange, right? I can see the conclusion clearly.
There’s no need to overthink it.
If you just change your perspective a little, you can easily infer the answer.
“Sunny Moon, 75 million Lena.”
“Owang Company, 80 million Lena!”
“Partner & Tofu Company, 85 million Lena!”
“Good! Can everyone feel this intense heat? The desires for a two-seater classic car, and the pride competition among each company! Who will emerge as the ultimate victor? I am very much looking forward to it. Currently at 85 million Lena… Is there no next bid?”
The head of Owang Company, Wangko, made the first move.
He came out personally, and given his temperament, there was no need to think for long.
He was a fool who wanted first place without question, charging fiercely toward his goal.
Perhaps he could be safely securing the two-seater classic car?
Wangko would never make such a half-hearted decision.
“Owang Company will give up first, so you all go ahead.”
He wisely stepped back from the chicken game, instead inciting competition between the remaining two companies.
In the end, the dilemma deepened for the heads of the two companies.
The gazes of Limiani and Aengdu clashed sharply.
“Sunny Moon, 90 million Lena.”
“… Partner & Tofu Company, 95 million Lena.”
As the amount rose to this point, murmurs around increased.
Aengdu sighed repeatedly, calling Tunyang and Hanamon for whispers.
Hmm, looking at the situation, it seems like it will end around 100 million Lena.
From the anxious expression on Limiani’s face.
In fact, predicting this outcome wasn’t very difficult.
Wangko and Limiani were ‘heads,’ and Aengdu was the ‘acting head’ representing Mr. NS.
It meant they were more likely to choose stability over daring challenges.
If they pushed too hard for the sports car and ended up missing both vehicles, they wouldn’t have anything to say to Mr. NS.
It wouldn’t be a laughing matter.
Would the company fandom, who are eagerly anticipating, be disappointed by consecutive failures?
The spotlight would naturally be placed more on Aengdu, who stepped up as the acting head.
“In this situation, they would obviously choose the safe option. At least if they successfully secure the vehicle, it wouldn’t be the best result, but it would still be a viable option.”
After a moment, my prediction came true.
Sunny Moon called out 100 million Lena, and after hesitating for a moment, Limiani shook her head and declared her withdrawal.
In the end, the two-seater classic car was awarded to Sunny Moon.
– The two-seater classic car isn’t bad either. Sunny Moon did a solid job this time.
– Whoa;; then is it going to be a guillotine match between Owang Company and Partner & Tofu Company?
– This is huge. LOL. Isn’t Mr. Bongsik already booked as the backup company for Partner & Tofu Company? Then it’s Wangko vs. Buck Minam Park Bong-sik.
– Is there no manager here? They’re openly talking about the Gold Cup above and not kicking anyone out?
Just a moment ago, the bubbling public opinion was on the brink of exploding.
For dopamine-addicted viewers of the streaming content, where else could they find something as interesting and stimulating as the Gold Cup?
Thinking about the exhilarating 1:1 guillotine match being about to begin.
The eyes of Limiani and Wangko were sharply focused on each other.
The final showdown resting on the pride of the two companies and their fandom.
Perhaps sensing an unusual atmosphere, Mr. Lena introduced the last vehicle of the day in a more solemn voice.
“The protagonist is said to appear at the end. Yes, that saying is true. This is the protagonist who will decorate the finale of the vehicle auction! A beautifully streamlined body sparkling in silver and a thunderous exhaust sound that makes your heart race just by hearing it. Not only does it boast the highest speed, but it also possesses an amazing special ability allowing for teleportation anywhere after a cooldown of 600 seconds. Who will this vehicle’s owner be? Without wasting time, let’s start right away. The opening bid is again starting at 30 million Lena. Shout out your bids!”
“Sunny Moon, 60 million Lena!”
“…!”
Was it a lingering feeling of regret about the sports car? Sunny Moon boldly tested the waters.
But it didn’t matter.
“Partner & Tofu Company, 80 million Lena.”
Limiani jumped and raised the bid by 20 million Lena in one stroke.
Wangko wasn’t one to lose either and countered with enthusiasm.
“Owang Company, 100 million Lena! Come and try to follow along if you can!”
Once the two-seater classic car hit 100 million Lena, it was inevitable that the sports car would fetch a price higher than that.
Thus, the heads of the two companies who had boldly raised the price.
In fact, it could be said that the real competition started from here.
“Who has more money, I wonder?”
Honestly, even I couldn’t predict this.
Thanks to the existence of V-Live Company creating a butterfly effect, each company had worked harder to earn money than before, making it impossible to gauge the wealth they possessed.
Considering the number of individuals in the companies, Partner & Tofu Company had two more members, but Owang Company had three male streamers.
Additionally, the notoriously fierce battle royale streamer group included a total of five people, even factoring in females.
“You can’t simply compare by numbers alone. Once a battle royale streamer starts making money, it was enough to almost obliterate the surroundings.”
In the end, the answer would only be known once the lid was lifted.
Was it a battle of quality versus quantity?
“Owang Company, 120 million Lena!”
“Partner & Tofu Company, 130 million Lena!”
– Whoa;; this heart-pounding moment, 130 million Lena, how hard did they gather that much money?
– Wangko has to win for sure. Mr. Bongsik’s fans, Mr. Bongsik hasn’t even joined the company yet, so don’t overreact.
– Let’s go all-in with all the money available!
Fans and streamers were gradually getting overly immersed in the situation.
Before long, the amount shot up to 150 million Lena.
“….”
Were they nearing their limit?
Wangko’s expression darkened.
On the other hand, Limiani, observing Wangko with a tight-lipped expression, felt a sense of victory, her lips twitching.
At that moment, I quietly stood up and approached Wangko, whispering to him.
“Don’t forget the proposal I made.”
“…!”
“Could it be!?”
Limiani also seemed to have received some information from Dananyang and looked at me with a wary expression while close to Wangko.
Hmm, that’s a bit hurtful.
After all, I am just a humble financial worker who always advocates for free and fair trade.
Moreover, this time it’s an interest-free loan!
Honestly, I have no interest in interest.
In any case, my goal was to heat up the competition as much as possible to drive up the auction price.
Then the bleeding would last that much longer for the winning company.
“And if possible, I hope that’s Owang Company.”
After all, in the upcoming arena competition, the most threatening opponent would surely be Owang Company with its many battle royale streamers.
Thus, I was subtly supporting Owang Company’s final bid.
“It might make me slightly disliked by Partner & Tofu Company, but at the end of the day, it’s still not MuYang Group. So I’ll just have to endure that.”
Once they became MuYang Group, the identity of Partner & Tofu Company would be cleanly erased.
Because the impact of Buck Minam Park Bong-sik was overwhelming.
I calculated all of that when I deliberately waited to take a seat first and then sat next to Owang Company.
“Then is 50 million Lena possible?”
“Of course.”
“What collusion and back dealings. You are definitely a necessary talent in the battle royale scene.”
“….”
Could they just stop with that kind of talk?
In any case, after concluding that verbal agreement, Wangko confidently called out 160 million Lena.
However, Limiani wouldn’t back down easily either.
With gritted teeth, she countered with 170 million Lena.
But Wangko casually responded with 180 million Lena.
“This is too unfair. It’s practically a 2:1 battle!”
Limiani protested, but Lena didn’t seem to mind the increasing expenditure and rather enjoyed it.
Saying that loans between companies were perfectly fine, she raised our hands.
“Then just wait a moment. I can’t just stand by in this situation.”
After all, a contest with the pride of the company at stake.
Limiani stomped over to Sunny Moon, and after a short while, returned with a bright expression.
This time, Wangko’s expression naturally darkened.
Combining the 50 million Lena I lent, Wangko could now bet up to 200 million Lena.
Who would the victory smile upon?
Of course, I still had room for additional loans, but no matter how much of a staunch first-place believer Wangko was, it seemed that a bid over 200 million Lena felt like a burden.
Certainly, the amount was one that the entire company would have to mine for nearly two weeks to gather.
“195 million Lena!”
“200 million Lena!”
“….”
Wangko’s last bid was a desperate shout.
And then a brief moment of silence ensued.
Limiani’s expression was completely tense.
“200 million! I genuinely didn’t expect such a high amount to come out. Twice the auction price for the two-seater classic car! A whopping 200 million. Is there any next bid? I will start the countdown now. 10, 9, 8, 7….”
It was a truly nail-biting situation.
Would Limiani’s mouth open?
The countdown had shrunk down to 3 seconds, and Limiani lowered her head.
Wangko, convinced of victory, raised his arms high.
At that moment, Lena’s voice called out the final number, and his hand pointed directly to Owang Company.
“Congratulations. The sports car has been awarded to Owang Company for a staggering 200 million Lena!”
Wowww-!
A loud cheer and applause erupted towards Owang Company.
Fans of Owang Company, who had won after a bl**d-curdling contest, also expressed their joy through the chat.
In the end, Owang Company was left with a luxury purchased for 200 million Lena, and a debt of 50 million Lena.
