Not many major events have happened in Shunyuan City recently. Recently, many prominent people have noticed that Mayor Bai's subordinates are extremely busy. It didn't take long before news spread that he would personally host an auction.
The auction was held in a hotel under the name of Mayor Bai. The hotel was simple and stately, with round arched windows and stone stones at the corners, showing elegance and luxury.
On the day of the auction, Xie Tao and Gu Yan had a hasty lunch and went out together. When I arrived at the venue, there were already a few scattered people sitting in the seats, and upon closer inspection, they were all familiar faces.
Jin Xianrong and Shen Ting Bai Nenglai were expected, but Chengrui Baylor... Xie Tao frowned, she was sure that Chengrui didn't get any news about the minerals, so what kind of plan did he come here for?
Xie Tao and Gu Yan frame nodded to Shen Tingbai as a greeting, and then found a seat in the back row of the auction.
As the auction was approaching, more and more people came to the venue, and the venue gradually became noisy. The noisy conversation made Xie Tao a little flustered, but Gu Yan looked like an old god, and was carefully looking at the list of auction items in his hand. .
As soon as the bell rang, the auctioneer stepped onto the stage, and Xie Tao quickly sat up straight.
The previous lots were also quite interesting, all of them were rare antique calligraphy and paintings, gemstone jewelry, but because of the unstable current situation, the transaction price was not high or low, Xie Tao didn't think much of it the whole time, just because Gu Yan framed the noise It annoys her, asking her if she likes the diamond ring, and asking her if she likes the pearl necklace.
Xie Tao said that disliking the three words became a conditioned reflex, and she was really afraid that Gu Yan would spend all the money before the land appeared.
Amidst Gu Yan's endless chatter, the auction is getting close to the topic, and the next lot is the three pieces of land.
Xie Tao turned her face to look at Jin Xianrong who was sitting by the window. She was wearing a black hat today, and the net pocket on the hat was hanging down, covering most of her face. Her back was straight and her sleeves were The arms are tense, like a leopard lurking in the grass, quietly waiting for the appearance of its prey.
"The last lot is land No. 9, No. 10, and No. 12 on the outskirts of the city. You can take a look at the manual in your hand. These three lands have a good geographical location and a large area. They are sold in bundles. The reserve price is 50,000 yuan. Less than two thousand, start now!"
The sound of the hammer fell, Xie Tao clenched his fist tightly, and was grabbed by the wrist by Gu Yan frame next to him, and gently comforted him.
The female secretary next to Jin Xianrong was the first to hold up a sign, "100,000 yuan!"
The audience gasped. In today's world, Changxing can buy an acre of land from an old farmer for 7 quick bucks. The combined area of these three lands is 50,000. Jin Xianrong is willing to double photographed...
Of course, Jin Xianrong knew that his bid was too high.
She had to be so impatient. Miyazawa Zhong came to Shunyuan a few days ago. He was very dissatisfied with what he had done a while ago. This dissatisfaction put Jin Xianrong's position in the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in jeopardy. She had to act quickly to prove that own role.
But the more impatient she is, the less Xie Tao and the others will be able to let her get what she wants.
Gu Yan became serious and put away his cynical look. He and Shen Tingbai looked at each other, and wanted to raise a sign, but was stopped.
"One hundred thousand and two thousand!"
It was Cheng Rui Baylor who spoke.
For a moment, all eyes were on Chengrui Baylor again, but he didn't care, he just stared at Jin Xianrong and raised his long eyebrows provocatively.
"One hundred and ten thousand!" Jin Xianrong's face under the veil was slightly ferocious.
Chengrui Belle was still smiling, and raised the sign in his hand again, "One hundred and two thousand." As if he was teasing Jin Xianrong, he only added two thousand each time, but firmly overwhelmed her.
Gu Yan frame and Xie Tao glanced at each other, and put the sign in their hands back on the chair. The Rong Wang Mansion has a deep foundation, and he and Shen Tingbai may not have won him together. The most important thing is that this Baylor and Jin Xianrong have a mother-killing relationship. revenge.
The enemy of an enemy is a friend, so naturally they cannot make things difficult for their friends. Over there, Shen Tingbai saw Gu Yan's movements, and also put the sign aside, leaned back, and started to close his eyes to rest his mind.
Jin Xianrong gritted her teeth and glanced at Chengrui Baylor, then suddenly stood up and held up a sign, "150,000!"
There was an uproar at the scene.
This price was already the highest budget given to Jin Xianrong by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, and the people present who could afford this price could count on one hand.
After the noise passed, the crowd fell into a brief silence, and the corners of Jin Xianrong's lips showed a triumphant arc.
Gradually, the guests began to get excited and discuss in a hurry. The auctioneer also got excited, and his hand holding the hammer was eager to let go. He looked excitedly at Mayor Bai behind the crowd, and the countdown was getting faster and faster. Just when the 1 was about to be said, Cheng Rui suddenly Standing up, "Two hundred thousand!"
The audience was silent.
The auctioneer's chest jumped sharply: "200,000! Mr. No. 45 bid 200,000. Is there any price increase? Three, two, one!"
The final word!
Jin Xianrong's smile completely disappeared. She clenched her fists tightly, gave Chengrui Baylor a cold look, got up and walked out, the audience applauded sparsely, everyone looked at Chengrui Baylor like a fool, and bought one for 200,000 yuan Wasteland, this Lord Baylor probably has too much money to spend.
The guests in the venue left one after another, and when they left, they all looked at Chengrui Baylor with the same look, either in surprise or ridicule, but no matter what kind of gaze, Chengrui Baylor accepted it calmly with the same expression.
In a blink of an eye, the crowd dispersed, and only a few people who really knew the inside story were left in the hall. Shen Tingbai got up first and walked to Chengrui Belle, and then Xie Tao and Gu Yanjiao moved over together.
Gu Yan clasped her fists together and said, "Congratulations, Lord Baylor, you can get a piece of land for 200,000 yuan. Lord Baylor is so courageous."
Chengrui immediately cupped his hands in return and said, "You're welcome, and I'd like to thank Young Master Gu and Boss Shen for their success."
The eyes intertwined, and each of them understood each other's intentions for a while. It seemed that Chengrui Belle was a friend rather than an enemy. Xie Tao was a little happy when he thought of this. With the financial and material resources of the Yuan Chamber of Commerce, there is nothing that cannot be done in Shunyuan.
"I don't know what business Baylor wants to do with the three pieces of land?" Shen Tingbai asked tentatively.
"Boss Shen thinks, what kind of business should I do?" Chengrui Baylor glanced at several people and smiled faintly, "To be honest, I don't know anything about these three lands. The reason I came here today is because I heard that Jin Xianrong I want these three pieces of land, and Shunyuan Chamber of Commerce and Gu Mansion are also very interested in these three pieces of land."
Shen Tingbai narrowed his eyes slightly.
Chengrui Belle said: "To tell you the truth, I am used to being idle and lazy, and I am not good at management. If the two of you can dispose of these lands for me and find some trouble for the Japanese, I will be very happy to cooperate with you." of."
These words have clearly stated her position, Gu Yan frame nodded to Shen Tingbai, Shen Tingbai was slightly taken aback, carefully looked at Chengrui Baylor, for a moment, smiled slightly.
"This is not the place to talk, Lord Belle, please!"
The two got into the car one after the other and went to Shen's house.
Xie Tao and Gu Yan frame also boarded the car, but they went to the suburbs. Counting the days, the batch of equipment that Gu Zongtang dispatched for the mine should have arrived. The two geologists recommended by the Imperial University, Chen Jin and Wu Yuezhi, were also on the train today. In order to prevent the Japanese Chamber of Commerce from taking any action, Shen Junshan had already taken Huang Song Jijin to the train station to pick them up.
Now, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
The cold wind blew past the car window, making Xie Tao shiver. She stretched out her hand and rolled up the car window to isolate the severe cold outside.
