My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 1038 - 1037: Playing Along with the Show (2/2)
Auction of Plot No. Seven.
Continuous competition drives the final price to an astounding two and a half billion.
Plot No. Eight reaches three billion.
Plot No. Nine is snapped up by Yang Chen for five billion.
The price for Plot No. Ten has already soared to three and a half billion.
The final price for Plot No. Eleven amounts to three point two billion.
Plot No. Twelve, just like Plot No. Three, sits at the intersection of two streets with a prime location, eventually acquired by Yang Chen for sixty-six billion.
The final tally leaves everyone in awe.
Yang Chen single-handedly dominates, acquiring five plots, all aligned, spending a total of two hundred and fifty billion!
Two hundred and fifty billion!
This is an astronomical figure, larger than the total value of many large corporate entities.
Even some large real estate firms do not have this much liquidity on hand.
But Longyu Group can!
Wei Xueqing couldn’t help but feel a mixture of emotions.
What was the total worth of Shangdong Group back then?
Today, they invested two hundred and fifty billion in a single day, and will need over three hundred billion in the coming days for more acquisitions.
However, Wei Xueqing is also worried, as they do not have that much money in their accounts.
In the front row.
Seventh Young Master looks gloomy, having acquired only three plots at high prices, none of which were the prime locations, all snatched by Yang Chen, leaving him displeased.
At this moment, Housekeeper Zhang whispers a few words into Seventh Young Master’s ear.
Seventh Young Master’s eyes gleam, exclaiming joyfully, "Are you sure about this news?"
"Absolutely certain, found out through a bank connection."
"Excellent!" Seventh Young Master sketches a cold smile on his lips.
Soon, the ones who won the bids need to go backstage for transactions and sign development agreements.
Accompanied by Yang Chen’s group, Bai Mingxuan’s group, Wu Shaokang’s group, Seventh Young Master and his companion, and another person rumored to be a representative of the Ban family.
As the group enters, Zhou Tang is present, as he wouldn’t miss such a significant occasion.
The leader of land management is also present.
"Welcome! You are the champions of Ancheng’s future development!" Zhou Tang smiles, shaking hands with everyone.
The land management leader follows suit, shaking hands.
After some official pleasantries, Zhou Tang indicates for the land management leader to produce twelve thick contracts, saying, "These are the twelve plots for the old city renovation project, along with the land development management agreements. Everyone, please review, and if all is well, we can finalize the contracts and proceed with fund transfers."
No objections arise, as everyone understands this process.
Immediately, the group begins to scrutinize the contracts.
Professionals handle contract review, as expertise matters.
On Yang Chen’s side, Zhao Feiyang reviews the contract, having studied law for his master’s degree.
After approximately an hour, once the group finishes reviewing the contracts and verifies that there are no issues, they sign the contracts.
Once the contracts are signed, the next step is to initiate the fund transfer process.
Given the huge sums involved, bank staff are present, and such transfers cannot be done instantaneously but require a prolonged process.
At this moment, Seventh Young Master halts the staff, addressing Zhou Tang, "Leader Zhou, before proceeding, I have a question to ask."
Zhou Tang smiles, "Feel free to ask any questions, we are here to resolve your inquiries."
Seventh Young Master states coolly, "One individual in Longyu Group appears to be your daughter, correct?"
Zhou Tang frowns.
Zhou Huiqing raises her head, her eyes briefly reflecting discomfort, contemplating if she should distance herself.
Yang Chen slightly raises an eyebrow, smirking as he watches Seventh Young Master, curious to see what trick he will attempt.
"Indeed!" Zhou Tang affirms solemnly, "My daughter is indeed working in Longyu Group and is on-site."
"Should I suspect you leaked some information to them?" Seventh Young Master suggests coolly.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Tang’s secretary cannot help but chide, "Do you think our Leader Zhou is such a person?"
Zhou Tang restrains his secretary, fixing a stare on Seventh Young Master, "Do you believe I need to disclose any information to them?"
"That depends on your perspective." Seventh Young Master shows no deference to Leader Zhou.
The atmosphere becomes somewhat awkward.
Though everyone is aware that as the leader of Ancheng, Zhou Tang remains more of a figurehead, none of the family factions are inclined to heed his orders.
Yet, the city planning remains under Zhou Tang’s control.
In essence, Zhou Tang and the families share dominion over the city’s affairs.
Now, Seventh Young Master’s overt lack of respect for Zhou Tang is overly conspicuous.
Others present feel a bit uneasy.
Unbothered, Zhou Tang speaks coldly, "To clarify for everyone, though my daughter works in Longyu Group, I did not and will not leak any inside information to her, please rest assured! Moreover, I find nothing wrong with her working for other companies; Longyu Group is a stellar company that many graduates aspire to join, and my daughter entered without leveraging any connections, which I take pride in!"
"Furthermore!" Zhou Tang fixes a gaze on Seventh Young Master, "What do you suspect I would leak in this auction? Some low price information? Useful, would it be? How many times have the prices exceeded low prices now? Could I control that? Certainly not! Regardless of who reveals any information, it would be impossible! Unless information was leaked!"
Zhou Tang points at Seventh Young Master.
Seventh Young Master, taken aback, angrily says, "How could it be me!"
He wishes to bring down Yang Chen, not help him;
How could he assist Yang Chen!
Zhou Tang sneers, "Only you could leaked the information, escalate prices until others couldn’t bear it, then Yang Chen emerges to buy up the five plots at once, wouldn’t that be fitting?"
"That’s nonsense!" Seventh Young Master fumes, Zhou Tang’s reasoning seemed outrageous.
Zhou Tang sneers, "Your previous words were even more nonsensical! Don’t spread baseless claims without evidence; surely your parents instructed you so!"
Skillfully adept at retorts, Zhou Tang leaves Seventh Young Master speechless.
At this moment, Housekeeper Zhang steps in to mediate, saying, "Master, Leader Zhou’s achievements are well recognized; how could he act in such a manner? If someone cheated in this auction, I believe Leader Zhou would uphold justice impartially."
In his speech, Housekeeper Zhang sets a trap for Zhou Tang.
Yang Chen merely observes the spectacle between the two, smiling quietly.
He wonders what kind of drama these two will play out!
