My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 1037 - 1036: Consecutive King Land Acquisitions (1/2)
"Very well!" Seventh Young Master glared viciously at the numbers rising on the big screen, his expression icy as he said, "What I want, no one can take from me!"
"Five and a half billion!" Seventh Young Master decided to accompany Yang Chen to the end!
Yang Chen shouted without hesitation, "Five point six billion!"
"Five point seven!"
Yang Chen rubbed his nose and calmly shouted, "Six billion!"
"Hiss!"
Many people couldn’t help but gasp.
Six billion!
The highest bid for land in Ancheng was just about that!
This was the momentum to skyrocket the North Ring’s real estate market!
Many people began to grow uneasy.
Seventh Young Master clenched his fists in anger, wishing he could immediately go up and crush Yang Chen!
"Seven..." Seventh Young Master prepared to quote a price, but Housekeeper Zhang stopped him, advising, "Young Master! This can’t be! Six billion is already a sky-high price, Ancheng’s highest land price was sixty-three billion, and that was in the city center, whereas this is just the third ring!"
Seventh Young Master frowned, hesitating somewhat.
The host seemed quite stunned, never expecting the price to escalate to such an extent. If the houses were built afterwards, they might go for several thousands per square meter!
Seeing no one else bidding and the host remaining silent, Yang Chen urged, "Hurry up and call the number!"
"Oh, oh!" The host finally came to his senses, "This gentleman has bid six billion; does anyone want to raise the bid?"
"Six point one billion!" Seventh Young Master, feeling a bit unwilling, called out.
"Six point two!" Yang Chen, determined to win, called out without concern.
Seventh Young Master snorted coldly and stopped bidding, deciding to make Yang Chen spend more money even if he couldn’t get the land himself.
Ultimately, it was Yang Chen who secured the plot.
Many people became anxious; with prices driven so high, the remaining plots were sure to be affected too.
Now that prices had risen, this plot of land would be a hot property once developed.
But with opportunities came risks; acquiring this land at such a high price involved significant risk.
After securing plot number three, Wei Xueqing couldn’t help but excitedly wave her delicate fist, exclaiming, "Now that we’ve secured the third plot, the momentum for the ’king of the land’ has begun. If we can also acquire plots around it, we can create a luxurious ring of land!"
Beside her, Zhou Huiqing couldn’t help but marvel at how audacious Yang Chen and Wei Xueqing were, spending sixty-two billion on one plot—what a significant gesture!
"We have to take the next few plots too; the prices have already been driven up, so don’t worry about property prices. As long as we manage it well, we’ll create an exemplary luxury business district!" Wei Xueqing said to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen nodded slightly.
As they spoke, the auction for plot four began.
The fourth plot also held a good location, right by the river like the first one, and many people were vying for it.
Yang Chen pretended to bid a few times, raising the price to twenty billion, and then stopped. He didn’t want this plot; it wasn’t what he needed.
In the end, the plot went to Seventh Young Master for twenty-five billion.
The prices in this area had indeed been driven up, and the prices for the first two plots were real bargains. The prices would only continue to rise afterward.
Next came the auction for the fifth plot.
Yang Chen eventually raised the price to twenty-five billion.
Finally, Bai Mingxuan and Wu Shaokang competed, and Bai Mingxuan secured it for thirty billion.
According to Wei Xueqing’s strategy, the idea was always to bid up to their limit; if no one dared to continue, they’d take the plot. If someone did continue, they’d let it go. The point was to prevent others from picking up bargains and exhaust their resources.
Now, the auction for plot six is beginning.
As the auction started, Wu Shaokang announced an astonishing bid, "Twenty billion! This plot is ours, the Wu family’s!"
If they didn’t act soon, all the good plots would be taken!
Others gave Wu Shaokang some respect, but Bai Mingxuan might not, especially with Seventh Young Master present!
"Twenty-one billion!" Bai Mingxuan called out his price, calmly saying, "Young Master Wu, business isn’t about giving in to each other; everyone’s here to make money, and the highest bidder wins!"
"Fine!" Wu Shaokang shot a vicious glare at Bai Mingxuan, saying coldly, "I bid twenty-two billion!"
Yang Chen shook his head and said, "What’s the point of this little game? I’ll bid twenty-five billion! This plot is mine!"
Wu Shaokang’s expression turned extremely unpleasant as he looked at Yang Chen with a cold voice, "Yang Chen! Don’t think no one can deal with you!"
Yang Chen gave a slight smile and replied calmly, "You’re welcome anytime!"
"Hmph!" Wu Shaokang sat down heavily, calling out, "Thirty billion!"
With plot number three as a precedent, plot number six would not be easily settled.
Many people estimated plot six could reach as high as forty billion.
Although plot six didn’t boast the best location compared to plot three, it certainly was in a good spot.
"Thirty-five billion!" Seventh Young Master spoke up.
Bai Mingxuan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Thirty-six billion!"
He would show respect to Seventh Young Master, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t compete. This is business, like war; if you don’t act, others will get ahead, and if they get ahead, you’ll fall behind, and falling behind means getting hit!
Bai Mingxuan had no intention of getting hit.
His goal today was to secure at least three plots!
The Bai family wasn’t short on money; they could profit as long as they secured the land!
But unfortunately, the auction was attended by plenty of others who weren’t lacking in wealth, not just the Bai family.
"Thirty-seven billion!"
"Thirty-seven point five billion!"
"Five hundred million more? Thirty-nine billion!"
"Forty billion!"
"Forty billion and five hundred million!" The person who shouted the final price wiped the sweat from his forehead, clearly having reached his maximum limit.
"Hmph! Forty-one billion!"
"Forty-two billion!"
"Forty-five billion!"
"Fifty billion!" Seventh Young Master said coldly.
This single phrase silenced everyone.
Fifty billion was well beyond their limit.
Since Seventh Young Master had offered this price, no one else continued to bid.
However, a voice was heard.
"Fifty-one billion!"
"Yang Chen!" Seventh Young Master ground his teeth, his face contorting.
It was Yang Chen who was messing with him again!
"Fifty-two billion!" Seventh Young Master ground his teeth.
"Fifty-five billion!" Yang Chen gave a cold snort, saying to Seventh Young Master, "I don’t believe you can keep it up; today, even if you go to a hundred billion, I’ll accompany you to the end!"
Seventh Young Master almost fainted in anger; that was supposed to be his line! It was Yang Chen who kept tangling with him, and bidding against him!
"Young Master..." Housekeeper Zhang hesitated, wanting to persuade but afraid of being reprimanded.
Seeing Housekeeper Zhang, Seventh Young Master impatiently said, "I know! I know!"
In fact, he was finding a way to back down.
If he really spent fifty or sixty billion to buy this plot, many in the family would have opinions, and once it reached the old master, it wouldn’t be good.
In the end, plot six was secured by Yang Chen for fifty-five billion!
