The crowd started bidding and very soon, the price of the clam increased to twelve million dollars.
Many people stopped bidding as soon as the price exceeded their limit. However, the people who knew the value of the clam continued bidding for it. 2
At this time, Jack suddenly stood up before he said, "I bid fifteen million dollars for it!"
After that, he turned around before he bowed and said, "Dear friends, the reason why I am here at the auction today is because of this clam. Therefore, I hope everyone will give up on bidding for this item so I can bring it home with me today. I will give everyone here today a peace talisman as a token of my gratitude." 4
Most of the guests who were present today were bosses and businessmen who knew of Jack's reputation. No one dared to offend him. 2

Why would fifteen million dollars matter to him? 1
As long as this clam belonged to him, he would definitely make a fortune!
Moreover, everyone was silent at this time as it seemed like no one else dared to bid against him. 1
He was indeed the master!
