201: With X-ray vision, he successfully intercepted the prize.
About three minutes passed.
The call ended.
A smile appeared on Heihu's face.
"Done!"
"Luckily you made it in time; the auction is happening this afternoon."
"The leader was very supportive and agreed to temporarily get you a spot."
"I'll send you the specific time and address right away."
Chen Yang was overjoyed.
"Brother Hu, thank you!"
"Tonight, give me face, I'll treat you to drinks."
"As for the leader, you handle it; the gratitude that should be shown cannot be less."
Heihu smiled and declined.
"We're brothers, no need to be polite."
But Chen Yang didn't give him a chance to refuse.
"Stop talking. We haven't eaten together in a long time. I'm a rich man now, I'm not short on money."
Heihu laughed.
"You little brat, with a few stinky coins, you're showing off in front of me?"
"You accidentally revealed your upstart face, didn't you?"
"Alright, today I'll let you treat me, and I'll order the most expensive things."
Chen Yang waved his hand.
"Order freely, drink heartily!"
"I'll send you the restaurant address later."
"We'll meet at six tonight."
Leaving the secret base.
Chen Yang went to City First Hospital to visit his parents.
His father's body was recovering very well.
His father, Chen Zhongshi, and his mother, Yang Aihua, both told him not to worry.
Chen Yang also went to visit Bai Yuyan.
No one was in the office.
The nurse said Director Bai was in surgery.
Chen Yang left the hospital and returned to Moon Bay Grand Hotel.
General Manager's Office.
Zhuo Hongmei brewed him a cup of hot tea.
She sat opposite him.
Chen Yang spoke:
"The spot to participate in the bidding has been secured."
"You'll come with me to the auction this afternoon."
Zhuo Hongmei was pleasantly surprised.
"Really? How did you get it?"
Chen Yang smiled faintly.
"By pulling strings and finding connections, of course!"
"However, this auction does have some tricks."
"It's very likely there will be under-the-table dealings, and the winning buyer has already been decided internally."
"It won't be easy for us to take down Changsheng Grand Hotel."
Zhuo Hongmei worried:
"Then what should we do?"
"Will we go for nothing?"
Chen Yang was confident, saying unhurriedly:
"At that time, just follow my arrangements."
His words were full of confidence.
Zhuo Hongmei was very curious.
What method did he have to snatch a target that others had already decided on internally?
At 2:00 PM.
Chen Yang brought Zhuo Hongmei, and with the invitation spot in hand,
They entered the auction site.
Including Chen Yang, there were only five parties participating in the bidding.
Each party had considerable influence in Jiang City.
Relatively speaking,
Chen Yang was the most inconspicuous party.
The auction would officially begin in ten minutes.
The other four parties were all full of confidence.
Each one felt that this time, it was theirs for the taking.
Chen Yang, however, was very low-key.
He just quietly stared at one particular party.
Dadi Group.
Their representative was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes.
This person was full of confidence and beaming.
Because.
He had already arranged everything.
He was very disdainful of the other parties internally.
On the surface, however, he showed no trace of it.
He even felt a sense of gratitude.
Without their presence, how could he hide his little tricks?
They worked hard for nothing, not even getting a sip of soup.
The entire large piece of fatty meat fell into his mouth.
He couldn't help but feel a little bad about it!
Zhuo Hongmei was a little anxious.
"CEO Yang, why haven't you filled in the bid price yet?"
"The bidding is about to start; it'll be too late if you don't fill it in now."
Chen Yang shook his head slightly.
"No rush."
Soon, it was time for bidding.
Everyone took out their pre-written bids and cast them into the bidding box.
Chen Yang stared intently at the man in the suit.
Seeing that he hadn't changed his bid,
He took out a pen and wrote a number on the bid document.
Zhuo Hongmei's eyes widened.
"Such a low price, can it win the bid?"
Chen Yang was noncommittal.
"The bids will be opened soon, let's see the result!"
Zhuo Hongmei was worried but helpless.
She could only hope for a miracle.
Soon.
The staff member hosting the auction opened the bidding box.
He took out five bid documents.
And directly announced the bid prices from each party.
The first was 500 million.
The second was 520 million.
The third was 550 million.
Zhuo Hongmei was greatly surprised.
Changsheng Grand Hotel was a five-star hotel as famous as Yuntian Grand Hotel.
Its value was at least over a billion.
Now, the prices offered by the three parties were only a little over 500 million.
How much profit margin was that?
A billion?
No wonder these people were so secretive.
The profits were too enormous!
The fourth party, Dadi Group, bid 560 million.
Just barely topping the others.
The man in the suit was smug.
He had put a lot of effort into securing this deal.
All his connections had been smoothed over.
Besides him,
No one knew what the highest bid would be.
Because everyone involved,
Was thinking of buying at the lowest possible price.
Everyone thought their connections were strong enough.
His bid would be the highest.
Only Chen Yang was an anomaly.
He just pulled strings to get a spot.
As for what the bid price should be, he hadn't inquired.
The reason he was so confident in coming to the auction,
Was based on his own strength.
Indeed.
When Chen Yang's bid was announced, everyone was stunned!
560 million, plus 1 yuan.
Especially the man in the suit.
His expression was more unpleasant than eating shit!
Damn it!
Just 1 yuan more?
What the hell do you mean?
Didn't you see that I bid 10 million more than the third party?
You just added 1 yuan?
Is this something a carbon-based life form would do?
At this moment, Zhuo Hongmei,
Was utterly impressed with Chen Yang.
When filling in the numbers earlier,
She couldn't believe that just a little over 560 million could win the bid.
The facts proved.
Chen Yang not only succeeded,
But also calculated it with extreme precision.
Not a single extra penny was spent unnecessarily.
The extra "little bit," to be precise, was 1 yuan.
It just happened to defeat Dadi Group.
This 1 yuan was worth a fortune!
Its role was maximized to perfection.
From the intelligence, Chen Yang knew that
If he hadn't participated, Dadi Group would have been the final winner.
So he only needed to keep an eye on Dadi Group to gain the upper hand.
At the auction site,
He activated his Golden Eyes, clearly seeing Dadi Group's bid.
The reason he waited until the last moment to fill in the price,
Was also to be prepared for any eventuality.
The matter was that simple; Chen Yang made a late move but got there first, successfully intercepting the deal.
He secured Changsheng Grand Hotel.
The auction contract was signed on the spot.
And payment was made.
On the way back,
Zhuo Hongmei still felt like she was dreaming.
"Don't be dazed!"
Chen Yang smiled, teasing her.
"Now we have three five-star hotels in our hands."
"How to integrate resources, achieve standardized, refined, high-efficiency, and low-cost management, and ultimately move towards conglomeration and branding?"
"That is the most urgent problem we need to solve right now."
Zhuo Hongmei composed herself.
"What do you think of the group integration plan I wrote?"
