Chapter 147 The South China Sea Auction!
These words were also meant for Chen Le.
Qian Tao let out a wild laugh and, in front of everyone, pinned the woman next to him down.
He unzipped his pants and made some shameful and despicable gestures.
All the CEOs who witnessed this scene could only shake their heads and sigh, but dared not say anything more.
Suddenly, only Zhao Jiang and Qian Tao remained in the competition, which was extremely fierce.
"I'll offer 850 million!"
"I'll give you 900 million!"
"I'll offer 950 million!"
"One billion!"
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Jiang and Qian Tao had raised the price of the land, which had a base price of 300 million yuan, to 1 billion yuan!
"Mr. Qian, let's prepare for the second plot of land. There's no need to compete with this old fox for the first one!"
"Let him have a hand!"
Just then, the female assistant next to Qian Tao whispered something to him.
"Don't worry, I didn't want this land in the first place. I knew that old fox would definitely make a move, so I helped him raise the price."
"Anyway, he has so much money he can't spend it all, it would be such a waste to take it with him to his coffin when he dies!"
Qian Tao suddenly looked up and burst into wild laughter.
Zhao Jiang, who was not far away, also turned gloomy after hearing this.
The same methods.
He can still use it.
Zhao Jiang had almost concluded that Qian Tao's goal was definitely the second piece of land.
Although I was angry, one billion was still within my acceptable range.
Zhao Jiang narrowed his eyes and began to weigh the pros and cons.
Qian Tao said this, but he had already stopped bidding.
Only then did Zhao Jiang show a satisfied expression.
The first plot of land was eventually sold for 10 billion yuan.
With the gavel falling, the first plot of land on the left bank of the South China Sea finally fell into Zhao Jiang's hands.
The business executives around them all stood up to offer their congratulations.
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhao! This is a great addition to your business!"
"Congratulations! With this piece of land, Mr. Zhao's net worth is about to double!"
"It seems that Mr. Zhao is about to become the richest man in Tianzhou!!"
"Mr. Zhao, I'll be very grateful for your continued support in the future!"
"Mr. Zhao has such a large piece of land. If there's anything that needs our help, we'll contribute money or labor!"
In that instant, many business leaders swarmed over, hoping to gain some benefits.
Even a fool would know that the Left Bank will inevitably experience significant development in the future and become a key commercial area.
With such a large plot of land, Zhao Jiang has developed countless projects.
Amidst the compliments, Zhao Jiang remained calm.
He was used to seeing this kind of scene.
Completely unaffected, she still responded politely to everyone.
Soon, the second auction began.
"Next, we will continue the auction for the second prime piece of land on the right bank of the South China Sea!"
"172 kilometers of sea area, 60,000 square meters of land, plus 7000 square meters of beach, starting price is 400 million, each increment must be no less than 10 million!"
As the host's voice fell.
The scene has quieted down.
This plot of land is more than 10,000 square meters larger than the first plot!
Wouldn't that allow for even more business activities?
Moreover, the beaches here are even more beautiful and more suitable for building resorts!
All the CEOs stood up excitedly, their eyes filled with envy.
However, during this bidding process, everyone fell silent.
With Qian Tao and Zhao Jiang, two powerful figures in the business, everyone is aware that their own funds are no match for these two. It is likely that the land to be auctioned today will end up in their hands.
Let's just go with the flow.
I wanted to do a favor, so I didn't raise the price further.
"I'll offer 900 million!"
As the room fell silent, Qian Tao stood up with an air of arrogance and spat the half-smoked cigar from his mouth onto the ground.
Qian Tao drastically increased the price to a level that no one else could afford, completely disregarding established rules and instantly disrupting Zhao Jiang's rhythm.
Zhao Jiang frowned slightly, staring at Qian Tao, his mind racing.
This second plot of land is most likely Qian Tao's target.
Having been disgusted by Qian Tao for so long, Zhao Jiang naturally wouldn't let the other party get it so easily.
"I'll pay 11 billion!"
Since the rhythm had been lost, Zhao Jiang disregarded all rules and directly raised the price by 200 million.
This is just the beginning.
Upon hearing this, Qian Tao narrowed his eyes slightly and warned, "Zhao Jiang, there's no need to continue using the same old tricks!"
"I know you won't let me take advantage of you!!"
"Then I'll just raise the price to the maximum. If you exceed this price, I'll give you the land on the right bank, what's wrong with that!"
After Qian Tao finished speaking, he waved his hand and made another offer: "13 billion!"
The sound of the explosion echoed throughout the stadium.
Everyone gasped.
No one expected Qian Tao to be so decisive!
In reality, the true price of this land has already exceeded its value!
It's not worth 12 billion at all.
Zhao Jiang, who had originally planned to give up, suddenly revealed a cunning smile and raised his sign, saying, "I'll offer 15 billion!!"
When Zhao Jiang quoted this price.
Qian Tao, who had been all arrogance, lost his smile.
"Damn bastard!"
"They actually figured out my bottom line!!"
"No wonder you dared to make such a blatant offer!!"
Qian Tao said through gritted teeth, wishing he could crush Zhao Jiang's bones.
He was just trying to scare the other party.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiang was not fooled and started offering prices again.
"Brother Qian, if you don't come up with a price soon, this second plot of land will be mine, and you'll have wasted your time tonight!"
"Are you willing?"
"If you're willing to accept this, I'll take the second plot of land."
"For no other reason than to feel at ease!"
Zhao Jiang looked at Qian Tao and said with a forced smile.
At this point, Qian Tao had completely calmed down.
He was also somewhat unsure about Zhao Jiang, and really couldn't figure out what tricks this old fox was up to!
After hesitating for a moment, Qian Tao gritted his teeth and made a firm decision to quote the price again.
"I'll pay 16 billion!"
"Zhao Jiang, if you're so capable, go ahead and surpass me again. This is my last bid, so take it if you dare!"
"Oh?"
Zhao Jiang sneered and said, "Since you put it that way, then it's yours!"
"Anyway, I have absolutely no interest in this land on the right bank!"
"You don't need to thank me, it's just reciprocity."
After saying that, he sat down in the chair, his face full of smugness.
His repeated price increases directly caused Qian Tao to lose at least several hundred million yuan.
Qian Tao's face was ashen, and he looked extremely unwell.
The way they looked at Zhao Jiang was filled with murderous intent.
The second plot of land, located on the right bank of the South China Sea, was successfully purchased by Qian Tao for 16 billion yuan!
Soon, they arrived at the third plot of land.
The host picked up the microphone again.
"Next, we will proceed with the final round of auction!"
"The third plot of land in the central area of the South China Sea, covering an area of 316 square kilometers of sea and a land area of square meters, has a starting price of 5 million yuan, and each bid must be at least 1 million yuan higher!"
As the host finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in an uproar.
This third plot of land is completely different from the first two.
The area is more than 100 kilometers of sea area larger than the sum of the two plots of land.
But the price is outrageously cheap.
