548: The dust has settled, and the 100 billion yuan land has been acquired! [I was domestically abused for asking my wife to lose weight]

"Starting bid 3 billion! Let's begin!"

As soon as the cheongsam-clad auctioneer finished speaking, various bids began to ring out from the audience.

"3.01 billion."

"3.2 billion."

"3.3 billion."

In the auditorium,

interested developers began to quote prices, and the competition was fierce.

Everyone present was a shrewd businessman; 99% of them had already consulted professional real estate appraisers before attending the auction.

They had requested a thorough investigation, research, and analysis of the land parcels up for auction today, along with the most professional valuations.

After all, investments of tens of billions are no laughing matter.

If they truly lost money, the company would inevitably suffer a severe blow, and a broken capital chain could lead to major problems.

Therefore, which piece of land was a potential stock, which was wasteland, and which was suitable for developing commercial communities or holiday resorts... the capitalists present already knew the score and had a psychological price in mind.

For example, this first 'A' potential land parcel being auctioned today.

In the eyes of many developers, its development prospects were excellent, with professional valuations generally around 5 billion.

"Is this the land parcel the BOSS instructed us to acquire?"

Below the high platform, Ma Yingzhe narrowed his eyes, his pupils gleaming with determination.

But he did not bid immediately; instead, he planned to wait until the other bidders had finished before making a decisive offer.

Meanwhile, a dozen seats to his right-rear, the Huo Family contingent was leisurely observing the open and hidden struggles in the auction hall.

"4 billion."

Suddenly, Huo Tingfeng hesitated for a moment, raised his paddle, and bid, immediately drawing puzzled looks from his clansmen.

"According to the intelligence department's investigation results, the prospects for this land are very good! I am very optimistic about it!"

"If we can acquire it, we definitely won't lose money."

"Anyway, the funds we brought this time are sufficient..."

"Plus, besides us, no one knows the true value of that 'E' potential land parcel, so its final transaction price will 95% likely be a new low."

"We can completely use the remaining money for some new value investments, making a steady profit."

"..."

Huo Tingfeng's explanation seemed reasonable and logical to the other clansmen, and they all nodded in agreement.

They were all leaders in the real estate industry and naturally recognized the value of this land.

To be honest, the Huo Family had initially conducted extensive investigation, research, and analysis.

The conclusion was that the land currently being bid on was the most probable, most likely, and most suitable site for the University City project.

If it weren't for their young master's strategic planning, which secured confidential intelligence revealing that the University City project's site was elsewhere,

their Huo Family would certainly have used all its strength to bid for this 'A' potential land parcel, seizing that opportunity to skyrocket.

But now... hehe, it's dispensable!

With the mindset of not losing money, they'd bid if they could, but it wouldn't matter if they couldn't. ╮(╯_╰)╭

At this moment, the Huo Family members were in a state of 'everyone else is drunk, but I am sober' superiority, watching their competitors, who were eagerly bidding, with eyes that seemed to view them as clowns.

"4.5 billion."

"4.6 billion."

"4.61 billion."

As the bidding amount continued to soar, fewer and fewer developers participated in the later stages.

Eventually, only a handful of people were still calling out prices.

Seeing this, Huo Tingfeng smiled confidently, raised his paddle, and shouted, "5 billion!!!"

The bid of 5 billion had already exceeded the psychological price of most people present.

The remaining few competitors instinctively frowned slightly, and after a moment's thought, chose to withdraw from the bidding.

"It's ours!"

Huo Qichen, sprawled in his wheelchair, declared imperiously.

The other Huo Family members also wore arrogant expressions, believing no one would dare to stand up and offend their Huo Family at this point.

Just as everyone thought this 'A' grade land parcel would undoubtedly go to the Huo Family...

"6 billion."

Ma Yingzhe, having received instructions from his boss, decisively raised his paddle, his tone calm.

Originally, he had intended to bid incrementally, adding the minimum 10 million each time, to save some money for his BOSS at the lowest possible price.

Who would have thought...

"That's too petty!"

"The Lin Corporation has just risen, so we must project an image of immense strength to make other forces wary of us."

Under Lin Xuan's secret command, Ma Yingzhe then called out the exorbitant price of "6 billion."

Of course, the effect was outstanding, immediately drawing all eyes in the venue and sparking a flurry of discussion.

"Holy crap! Who is that? So powerful, raising the price by 1 billion in one go?"

"This amount has already exceeded the maximum value of this land, hasn't it? They really don't treat money like money!"

"Isn't that General Manager Ma of the Lin Corporation? It seems the Lin Corporation plans to enter the real estate industry?"

"The real power behind the Lin Corporation is that mysterious God of Song [L], isn't it?"

...

"What on earth are they thinking? With [L]'s current fame, entering the entertainment industry would be the right path, wouldn't it? It would be twice the result with half the effort and a huge money-maker!"

"The Lin Corporation, relying on the fame of God of Song [L], plus several groundbreaking beauty products like the Beauty Pill, Minds Eye Brightening Elixir, and Miracle Repair Cream,"

"the company's stock price is now steadily rising, having long surpassed the era when Lin Jianjun was in power."

"Yes! I heard its market value has already reached 100 billion, making it a newly established first-tier wealthy family in Modu. Acquiring this land should be for investment or expansion..."

"..."

In the auction hall, the wealthy individuals looked shocked, whispering among themselves and discussing animatedly.

They were clearly stunned by the Lin Corporation's grand gesture!

"Hmph!" Huo Tingfeng's expression was grim, and he let out a cold snort.

He hadn't expected that the Lin Corporation would suddenly jump in and interfere with something that was about to be settled.

Wasn't this clearly showing disrespect to his Huo Family?!

...

"Lin Corporation? Very well, our Huo Family will remember this grudge!"

"Foolish, they're not doing well in the pharmaceutical industry! Yet they still dream of dabbling in the real estate industry! They're truly greedy, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant; they'll choke to death sooner or later!"

"A fierce dragon crossing the river? Hehe, there's a saying, 'different trades are like different mountains'!"

"The principle that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake; if there's an opportunity in the future, we must teach them a good lesson!"

"Patriarch, let it go! Don't bid against that fool! 6 billion has already exceeded the original value of that land."

"Exactly, a rich idiot with more money than sense! Spending so much money to show off, but the land he's buying isn't worth that price at all."

"..."

Regarding Ma Yingzhe, who had ruined their plans, not only Huo Tingfeng but also the other Huo Family members were full of indignation, holding a grudge against the Lin Corporation in their hearts.

At the same time, they secretly mocked Ma Yingzhe as a fool with no discerning eye.

Because the value of that land simply did not match 6 billion.

In fact, the developers in the auction hall all shared this thought, believing that Ma Yingzhe was an amateur, which was why he couldn't accurately estimate the value of the land.

The Lin Corporation was bound to suffer a huge loss in this transaction!!!

Two and a half minutes later, as no more "suckers" participated in the bidding, Ma Yingzhe successfully acquired the 'A' potential land parcel.

Thus, everything was settled!!!!!!
