I greeted Ms. Liu, and she didn't ask much. Last night, Liu Yuhan had told her about the recent events. She could only turn a blind eye and try not to interfere with my private affairs.
Chief Feng sent me a message asking me where I was. I told him I was in Third High School. Chief Feng sent a car to the school gate to pick me up.
Soon, I arrived at a big hotel. The driver took me to the conference room on the third floor. On the way there, Chief Feng had already told me some things. Since the Zhao family was in chaos, the Blood Wolf Hall had gained substantial benefits. The merchants who used to depend on the Zhao family had taken the initiative to cooperate with them. Since I wanted to clear my name, I had to start from a proper business.
The land for today's auction was in the Southern District. Compared to the prosperous Eastern and Western District, the other two districts hadn't developed much. This was because the Southern District was closer to the border countries, and there were many uncertainties.
Therefore, the land there was relatively cheaper. Chief Feng got the latest information from a few merchants. In the next three years, the higher-ups would vigorously develop the Southern District. This was a big business opportunity.
I had to seize the opportunity now. Businessmen needed to be well-informed. The more information they got, the easier it would be for them to make money. However, besides Chief Feng's Blood Wolf Hall, there were other competitors that couldn't be ignored.
When I entered the meeting room, I saw Chief Feng. He was sitting at the back with a few bosses. There was a big screen in front of them, and it showed the plot of land that was up for bidding. It also showed the future plans for the surrounding facilities.
I casually walked over. When the bosses saw me, they smiled and greeted me. Chief Feng briefly explained the general situation of the land. The starting price was around 20 million, but if it was developed, it would be enough to build two or three commercial houses and a dozen storefronts. Even if it was sold at a lower price than the market price, it would still be a profitable business. Of course, no one knew how much the final transaction price would be.
However, there was good news. The bosses who came to bid today were small. At most, they had tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of assets. Their financial resources were limited. Chief Feng had invited these bosses to come together. With their presence, it wouldn't be difficult to win this land.
The reason why he asked me to come was to follow my opinion and also to be a reference. To be honest, I didn't know much about this, but I still wanted to take a look and learn from it.
Before long, the conference room was full of people. Several leaders of the Land and Planning Bureau were sitting in the front row. Soon, the host came on the stage. The host was very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
"Welcome to the land bidding of Nancheng New District. First of all, allow me to spend three minutes to explain the geographical location and value of this piece of land. Everyone here should know that the government has been vigorously supporting the construction and development of Yuncheng, especially the Nancheng New District. Moreover, it is only a 20-minute journey from the city center. In the future, the subway will be built and it will be more convenient …" The host praised himself and made it clear that he wanted to raise the price.
After talking for a long time, he finally got to the point. "Alright, let's cut to the chase. The base price of this piece of land is 25 million, and the minimum increment is 1 million each time. If you are interested, you can raise your signboard now!"
My little heart was pounding. This was the first time I had come to such an occasion.
"30 million." Soon, a strong male voice was heard.
"Good. Mr. Wang of Xiongfeng Group is really rich. 30 million. Is there any more …" The host's eyes lit up.
"33 million!" After a while, another voice was heard.
Chief Feng and the others had discussed earlier. The plan was to buy this land for 50 million. They would get at least 30 to 40 percent of the profit. However, if it was more than 50 million, they might not be able to get the funds. Without a doubt, this was an occasion to show their financial resources and strength.
However, they didn't rush to bid. The more eager they were, the more pressure they would be put on. For this kind of bidding, the local government would benefit the most. They didn't need to pay any cost and they could make a huge profit. Moreover, they could take advantage of these businessmen.
Wealth was a good thing, but in the face of power, they had to compromise. I secretly observed these people.
After a while, the price reached 40 million. Chief Feng and the others had to change their plan. They raised the price to 60 million. Of course, when the price reached 40 million, some of the bosses had already backed down. They started to shout, "Hey, Mr. Wang, you have the financial resources, but you have to think about yourself. Don't end up like a snake trying to swallow an elephant!"
"Old Li, look at what you're saying. You've already earned a lot from the development of the east and west districts. You should at least share some of this money."
However, when the price reached 45 million, two people walked in from the front door. After seeing their faces clearly, I was slightly stunned. It was actually Zhao Leiting, the son of Zhao's grandfather. I had a big fight with him in the coffee shop.
Although he had the strength of the late stage of clear-strength, he was no match for me. Therefore, he was forced to take out the shares of Zhanpeng Group.
Why did he come to join in the fun? Although this land had a lot of profits, it seemed that a big company like Zhao Group didn't need these small profits. Could it be …
I suddenly had a guess. Chief Feng and the other bosses didn't look good. If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Leiting came for them. To be precise, he didn't want the Blood Wolf Hall to take this opportunity to develop.
As soon as they saw Zhao Leiting come in, the leaders of the Land and Planning Bureau couldn't help but greet him and give him the best seat.
Suddenly, there were whispers in the conference hall. "Motherf * cker, this is great. We've been fighting for a long time, but it's all in vain."
"Sigh, the Zhao family really doesn't give us a way out."
"If this monopoly continues, the people who will suffer in the end will be the common people. These officials, don't they think about the consequences?
It's a business opportunity for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Why did they let the Zhao Group come? What's the meaning of this? "
This was a bit troublesome. If the Zhao Group wanted to interfere, they might have to get this land.
