The auction house owner: "We apologize for the power outage today, which has stopped the auction. Shortly, we'll offer you a small gift as compensation. However, if the item you wanted was being auctioned just now, it proves that it is valuable, and you will need to come back for the next auction. You can tell us what you want, and we'll notify you when it goes up for auction so you won't miss it."
"Is there really no other way? Can't you make an exception, Boss? I'm willing to offer fifteen million US Dollars." Ouyang Zhi wasn't angry; instead, he continued to smile. But his smile seemed rather unsettling, especially as it was so dark around due to the power outage.
The auction house owner remained firm: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ouyang, I truly can't meet your request. The valuable items here cannot be privately transacted."
