549: Brother Jiaqian expresses his loyalty: Boss, you are my yyds~~~

“6 billion! Lin Corporation bids 6 billion!”

“Are there any other bosses with higher bids?”

“6 billion going once, 6 billion going twice, 6 billion going three times, sold!”

“Let’s congratulate President Ma of Lin Corporation for taking the lead and acquiring a land with boundless prospects. Let’s hear some applause!!!”

“...”

With the final gavel, the cheongsam-clad auctioneer excitedly cheered and clapped vigorously.

That was a whopping 6 billion, wasn’t it?!

She would receive a considerable commission from it, so how could she not be excited?

Clap clap clap!!!

In the auction hall, applause thundered for a long time.

Regardless of what everyone was actually thinking, at least on the surface, they gave Lin Corporation enough face.

After all, businessmen prioritize profit.

A few compliments now could lead to a big business deal in the future, so why not?

“Congratulations, congratulations, President Ma is awesome!”

“Generous, President Ma! How about we have a drink together after the auction ends?”

“Let’s find an opportunity to cooperate and get rich, President Ma!”

“...”

Facing the flattery of numerous tycoons, Ma Yingzhe, with his high emotional intelligence, smiled, stood up, cupped his hands, and modestly responded with a few words.

Not far away.

Seeing that the land had been successfully acquired, Lin Xuan felt much more relaxed. When he looked in the direction of The Huo Clan, his eyes were filled with nothing but amusement.

Beside him, Li Jie and the other man were stunned by this massive deal involving tens of billions. They rarely saw so much money in their daily lives.

Especially Zheng Haonan, (¯﹃¯) he was practically drooling with envy, wishing he could claim the 6 billion for himself... “My goodness! 6 billion just sold? This Lin Corporation is simply too rich!”

“The starting bid is tens of billions! And the people here are just bidding for a piece of land? Damn capitalists!!!”

“If I could get the chance, I’d really like to kidnap the boss behind Lin Corporation and demand a 100 billion ransom directly.”

“Worst case, after getting the money, I’d immediately flee abroad, retire, marry ten or eight foreign women, and find a deserted island to live out the rest of my life in style.”

“...”

Zheng Haonan was full of rough charm, his face full of longing, almost clasping his hands together to make a wish.

“Look at you, you good-for-nothing!”

Lin Xuan’s forehead was full of black lines as he playfully scolded Jia Qian Ge.

Zheng Haonan then realized that he seemed to have included his new boss in his recent rant and quickly apologized ingratiatingly:

“Boss, I wasn’t scolding you! You’re different from those damn capitalists.”

“You’re willing to let me earn more, and the benefits are top-notch. You’re simply a once-in-a-lifetime, peerless good boss. I will pledge my life to you.”

“...”

While Jia Qian Ge was rattling on, passionately declaring his loyalty!

On the high platform.

The cheongsam-clad female auctioneer had already auctioned off several pieces of land with varying potential.

During this time, Lin Xuan did not let Old Ma bid again.

On one hand, 6 billion was no small sum, and he did not want to tie up too much liquid capital, leading to difficulties in the company's cash flow.

On the other hand, the other plots of land did not offer high returns; he wasn't interested in small gains.

Furthermore, blocking someone's path to wealth is akin to killing their parents.

Lin Corporation was already high-profile enough; when eating meat, one should always leave some soup for others. There was no need to be too unsightly in their eating habits, needlessly inviting others' dissatisfaction and jealousy.

On the contrary, Huo Tingfeng had raised his paddle to bid on several good pieces of land in between... Two and a half minutes later, the Huo Family collectively sat up straight, their expressions excited, simply because the target they had been waiting for so long had finally appeared...

As dusk fell and the streetlights came on.

Inside a magnificent auction hall, voices buzzed, and the atmosphere was tense yet lively.

On the high platform, a woman dressed in an exquisite cheongsam, like a beauty from a bygone era, stood gracefully and charmingly.

She wore a cheongsam with a deep dark green base, embroidered with delicate golden auspicious cloud patterns.

As she parted her red lips, her voice, like a heavenly melody, resonated through the hall:

“Distinguished guests, I will now present to you the final, incredibly precious piece of land.”

The cheongsam-clad auctioneer subtly turned, her elegant hand pointing towards the giant screen behind her.

On the screen, the magnificent vista of that piece of land instantly appeared... “Please look, everyone. Although this land is somewhat remote, it has convenient transportation and is accessible in all directions.”

“The surrounding facilities are all-encompassing, whether it’s high-end shopping malls, star-rated hotels, or quality schools and large hospitals, all are within easy reach.”

“This will be the future commercial center, a place where wealth converges.”

“...”

As the cheongsam-clad auctioneer explained.

On the large screen, a meticulously produced promotional video played at the opportune moment.

Every frame was breathtakingly beautiful, as if the future prosperity had been presented to everyone in advance... “The area of this land is vast, and its topography is regular.”

“Whether it’s used for building high-end office buildings, luxury residences, or large commercial complexes, it holds infinite possibilities.”

“Imagine, ladies and gentlemen, here you can create a landmark building for the city, becoming the focus of everyone’s attention.”

“Moreover, the area where this land is located also has huge development potential.”

“The government provides strong support, and various preferential policies are constantly being offered.”

“In the future, this place will become a new economic growth pole, and the return on investment will be immeasurable.”

“...”

The cheongsam-clad auctioneer’s voice was impassioned, her words full of infectious power, as if to make everyone present see the future glory.

Immediately after.

The auction hammer in her hand was raised high, as if knocking on the door of wealth.

“Now, I declare!”

“This precious piece of land, with a starting bid of one billion, is officially open for bidding!!!”

“...”

Unfortunately, as the hammer came down heavily, something extremely embarrassing happened to the auctioneer.

No matter how much she talked it up, the imagined scene of the auction hall instantly erupting with a flurry of bids did not occur.

The reality was that the audience was silent, and many developers showed little interest, staring at her as if she were an idiot... “Damn it! These auctioneers nowadays are heartless, even more unscrupulous than us capitalists!”

“Exactly, exactly! How dare they put this [E]-grade wasteland up for sale? And they actually have the nerve to boast, spouting nonsense with a straight face.”

“Σ(☉▽☉"a, are they treating us all as idiots? If this land were really that amazing, how could the starting price only be 1 billion? 5 billion would be the minimum!”

“Damn it! I’m sick of hearing the same old rhetoric, all to fool some naive suckers who don’t know anything!”

“Just wait! Every year, some brainless fools fall for it, foolishly buy it, get stuck with it, and end up losing everything, going bankrupt, and jumping off a building!”

“...”
