At the auction site, Wei Yue'er, dressed professionally, followed the crowd into the venue.
By this ti, many people had already arrived, including several dia reporters. Today's auction might birth a new Earth King, thus garnering much attention.
Wei Yue'er had originally agreed to et Lin Fan at the venue, but upon arrival, she didn't find him and had to call him instead.
Lin Fan said he was busy and couldn't leave, asking her to represent him in the auction.
"Where are you, will you co later?" Wei Yue'er asked, knowing Lin Fan was very concerned about today's auction. The land was ant for building the Mortal Group headquarters. She felt quite pressured to handle it alone.
Lin Fan replied, "I'm at the Yuncheng Gymnasium, unable to get away for a mont."
Wei Yue'er was taken aback. On such an important day, could Lin Fan really have gone to watch a boxing match at the Yuncheng Gymnasium? She had heard that Sun Jianjun was facing off against Big Wilson but hadn't had the ti to watch.
"You're watching a boxing match..." Wei Yue'er said.
Lin Fan chuckled bitterly: "I was initially watching, but now I'm on stage."
Wei Yue'er was shocked: "You're competing? Against Sun Jianjun?"
Lin Fan replied: "No, against Big Wilson, but let's not discuss it now. Everyone's watching; just rember, today you must succeed."
After Lin Fan finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
Cold sweat broke out on Wei Yue'er's forehead. Lin Fan was actually going to fight that Arican boxer, Big Wilson; it was concerning. She'd heard Big Wilson was very strong.
No matter, her task was also very important now. Lin Fan needed her to win that piece of Lijiang land, but she still didn't know who her opponents were.
The auction was about to start, and the guests had all taken their seats. Wei Yue'er also found an empty seat and sat down, looking around.
The host of this auction was none other than Li Jian, the patriarch of the Yun City's Li Family.
"Welco friends to this auction. I'm Li Jian, and I will personally host today's auction. I hereby announce the official start of the Lijiang Land auction!" Li Jian took the stage and said.
The audience applauded.
Li Jian said, "This auction is the third round, the final bidding phase. The Li Family's land is highly sought after, so we received countless bids. After two difficult elimination rounds, the remaining buyers will make their final bids shortly, with the highest offer winning. Shortly, I will announce the minimum starting price, but first, I announce the final buyers participating in the bidding."
His words imdiately drew everyone's attention, as it was one of the most anticipated monts of the day. Who exactly were the final buyers entering the bidding?
Li Jian said, "Now, I announce the first buyer: Hengxin Real Estate from the Port District."
Hengxin Real Estate!
The crowd was stunned. Hengxin Real Estate was the enterprise of the Rich Guy Liu from the Port District, a powerful company and one of the top developers there, and even nationally, its strength was formidable.
Even Hengxin Real Estate was interested in this piece of Lijiang land and was entering the final bidding round, showcasing the fierce competition of this auction.
However...
After Li Jian's announcent, a man in the venue stood up and said, "Hello everyone, I'm the representative of Hengxin Real Estate, my surna is Feng. I hereby announce that Hengxin Real Estate is withdrawing from this auction! Mr. Li, I convey President Liu's apologies and hope for your understanding."
The man bowed to Li Jian.
What?
The crowd exchanged glances, surprised by Hengxin Real Estate's sudden withdrawal. What happened?
Could it be that Hengxin Real Estate felt its strength was insufficient to compete, so it retreated knowingly, or did Rich Guy Liu suddenly lose interest in this piece of land?
Li Jian was also surprised and asked, "Mr. Feng, why did President Liu suddenly withdraw, what's the reason, can you tell us?"
The man said, "I'm sorry, I'm not at liberty to disclose the specific reasons. However, President Liu has expressed regret for affecting the bidding and will personally explain to Mr. Li thereafter. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
The man nodded to Li Jian and then turned to leave the venue.
The audience was baffled; Hengxin Real Estate didn't reveal any reason, just left like that, which indeed greatly disrupted the order of the auction.
"It's rumored that ultimately, only two companies are competing now. With Hengxin Real Estate's withdrawal, doesn't the other one get the land without competition?"
"That's too lucky for them."
"In this way, talk of birthing a new Earth King is off the table."
The crowd discussed fervently.
At this ti, in a corner of the venue, Wei Jiansheng, the third son of Jiangnan Wei Family, watched Hengxin Real Estate's representative leave, listened to the crowd's discussions, and revealed a satisfied smile.
This was what Wei Family had arranged with Hengxin Real Estate. Hengxin Real Estate would announce its withdrawal on-site, catching the Li Family off guard. Had Hengxin announced it earlier, the Li Family would have had ti to make alternative arrangents. But now, the Li Family was suddenly caught unprepared, where would they find another competitor at this mont?
The Li Family could only announce, with no choice, that Jiangnan Wei Family won the bid.
Today's auction was also broadcasted live by Yun City's comrcial channel. At this mont, in Hang City, Jiangnan, Wangu Mansion, in the chairman's office, Wei Tiansheng was seated on the sofa, watching the live broadcast via television.
Seeing the representative of Hengxin Real Estate leaving, Wei Tiansheng couldn't help but smile.
Everything was going according to his plan.
Through his intelligence channels, upon learning that Hengxin Real Estate was a competitor, he got soone to target Rich Guy Liu, acquiring scandalous photos of Liu Shiguang cheating. Facing these photos, to protect his reputation, Liu Shiguang could only choose to withdraw from the competition.
Liu Shiguang didn't know it was the Wei Family's underhanded tactic. Even if he did know, he had no evidence, not to ntion Wei Tiansheng wasn't afraid of Liu Shiguang; if Liu Shiguang dared to deal with the Wei Family...
Though this tactic was lowly, it was highly effective — a profitable return on investnt, reducing competitors, potentially saving billions.
At this ti, the television screen switched to Li Jian.
Li Jian said, "I regret Hengxin Real Estate's sudden withdrawal, but the auction must continue. Below, I announce the next buyer participating in the bid: Wangu Group!"
Wangu Group!
This was the richest man in Jiangnan, Wei Tiansheng's company, Jiangnan's largest real estate group!
With Wangu Group, it was unsurprising. This auction, indeed only heavyweight buyers could make it to the end.
Wei Jiansheng then stood up, smiling: "Hello everyone, I'm Wei Jiansheng, the representative of Wangu Group."
Wei Jiansheng, the third son of Jiangnan Wei Family, was himself a business tycoon, owning Cherry Entertainnt Company, one of the three giant companies in the entertainnt industry.
Wei Jiansheng, upon standing, attracted many admiring eyes.
"President Li, you can announce the final result." Wei Jiansheng smiled at Li Jian, looking as if he had already succeeded.
The last two buyers participating in the bidding, with Hengxin Real Estate having voluntarily withdrawn, naturally left Wangu Group awarded the bid.
Just as the Wei family father and son awaited this exciting mont...
Li Jian let out an "Oh," and said, "The final result? Wait, Mr. Wei may have misunderstood, we have a third buyer."
What?
Wei Jiansheng's smile instantly froze.
Li Jian then announced: "I declare the third buyer, also the last bidder, Mortal Group!"
Then Wei Yue'er stood up and said, "Hello everyone, I'm the representative of Mortal Group."
Seeing Wei Yue'er, it was as if Wei Jiansheng had been slapped, his face twitching slightly.
