"Congratulations on your successful bid. The price of Building No. 1 has risen to 100 million merits."
The virtual operating system pops up a prompt box.
"Done! Boss!"
Chen Ye said to Shen Qiu with great joy.
"Well, that's all. Let's look at the properties in the outer city."
Shen Qiu stopped caring when he saw that the bid was successful, and raised his hand to click on the switch interface.
…
Inside the KPI headquarters building, in VIP room 2.
A little old man, 1.3 meters tall, with explosive muscles all over his body, a pale braid tied around his waist, thick eyebrows, sharp eyes, and a white beard, sat on a spacious single sofa.
This old man was none other than Bai Mucheng's father, Bai Lin.
At this time, sitting on Bai Lin’s left was Vice President Yun Kong, and sitting on his right was Vice President Chu Wei.
In addition to the three of them, there were also a congressman, City Lord Bai Shao, City Lord Yun Qing and other bigwigs standing in the room.
Vice Speaker Yunkong chatted with Bai Lin with a gentle smile.
“Although we were a little rushed in these bidding rounds, overall, everything is still under our control.”
"It is within our control, but even so, our real estate is still not enough. After all, we have a large family and a large business, and there are too many people who need to be resettled. If we can't give hope to the people below, who will fight for us?"
Chu Wei said after a moment of hesitation.
"Okay, it's good enough to have achieved this. After all, many things are not decided by us. The city is so small, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie."
Bai Lin said bluntly.
"It's true, but the truth is not."
Vice Speaker Yunkong nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a prompt suddenly popped up on the virtual operation screen in front of the three of them.
"Reminder: The bid for Building No. 1 failed, and 87 million merits have been returned!"
"What's going on?"
Vice Speaker Yunkong was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Bai Lin was like a powder keg that was instantly ignited. He slammed the armrest of the sofa, stood up, and cursed angrily.
"Who the hell is this? How dare you take our banner?"
When the many councilors and City Lord Bai Shao present saw Bai Lin go crazy, they all trembled instinctively and their expressions became tense, for fear that the fish pond would be affected.
Chu Wei also frowned, and he spoke to Bai Lin.
"Calm down, old man. This building requires a lot of merit. The number of people who can take it down can be counted on one hand. And you see, the other party has reached 100 million merits in one breath. It is obvious that they have taken us down."
"Humph, the only families that can take over the Red Alliance are the Long and Wang families. The Long family has no interest in getting involved. Only old man Wang Heng can do such a thing."
Bai Lin cursed without any mercy.
"Calm down, now is not the time to get angry. Our most urgent task now is to quickly collect some more merits and take back the building!"
Yun Kong also hurried to persuade Bai Lin, fearing that his violent temper would make things worse.
"Hmph! Bai Sui!"
After listening to Vice President Yun Kong's advice, Bai Lin's expression eased a little, and he spoke.
Butler Bai Sui walked over respectfully and replied to Bai Lin.
"Master, what do you want me to do?"
"Let the people below raise some more merits."
Bai Lin said to Butler Bai Sui.
When Butler Bai Sui heard this, he immediately replied with an embarrassed look.
"Master, there aren't many merits left. The people below have already used most of their merits to get promoted. The remaining merits have either been used to bid for other stores or have been gathered here."
When Bai Lin heard this, the anger on his face became even stronger.
Upon seeing this, City Lord Bai Shao quickly spoke up.
"Brother, it's not that we don't want to make up for it, it's just that there really isn't much left."
When Bai Lin heard this, he turned his head and looked at Yun Kong and the others.
As a result, Yun Kong and the other man also showed unnatural looks in their eyes. Chu Wei coughed and said to Bai Lin.
"Brother Bai, we don't have any either. We've already taken them all out! To put it bluntly, although the Red Alliance has converted all the manpower and material resources we contributed to us, it is still not enough. The gap is huge! Many people below have to find a way out on their own. Why don't you give your daughter another call?"
Bai Lin was extremely annoyed, but he still raised his bracelet and made a call.
Beep~
The bracelet kept making noises.
Yunkong and others watched quietly from the side.
After a long time, the phone was connected and a cold voice sounded.
"Father."
Bai Lin coughed slightly and spoke.
"Daughter, do you still have merits?"
"Why isn't it enough?"
"Not enough. Something went wrong. The building was toppled."
"How could this happen? Who took it over?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it's that old bastard."
"I understand. Please wait a moment."
Bai Mucheng replied calmly and then hung up the phone.
…
In the corner of the hall.
Shen Qiu was checking the housing prices in the outer city, and the results gave him a headache.
"This is really outrageous. A house in the tenth ring road can cost up to 5 million per square meter. How can this person afford to live there?"
"Boss, look carefully, some of the better locations have already topped out at 6 million."
Chen Ye added the finishing blow.
After hearing what Chen Ye said, Shen Qiu felt helpless. This price was indeed outrageous.
At this time, Yun Xiaoxi came over and asked in a very good mood.
"Shen Qiu, how's the filming going?"
"It's OK, but not that easy to take pictures of. How are the pictures taken at uncle's place?"
"Well, the bidding on my father's side wasn't going very smoothly, and several properties were sold out. But there's no need to worry too much, because I heard that the main family will also give some property subsidies to the branch family."
Yun Xiaoxi replied in as relaxed a tone as possible.
"Wow, your clan is so rich."
Chen Ye said enviously.
"In fact, the Zong family doesn't have that much money. After all, the real estate here is so expensive that no one can afford it. Most of the Zong family's real estate was allocated to them by the Red Alliance. My father said that it was because the Red Alliance transferred too much manpower and materials from the eight major families."
Yun Xiaoxi thought for a moment and explained.
After listening to Yun Xiaoxi's words, Shen Qiu could probably guess that she was speaking in a positive way.
So he raised his bracelet and operated it.
Buzz~
Yun Xiaoxi's bracelet vibrated suddenly.
Yun Xiaoxi looked down and found a message popping up indicating a deposit of 10 billion yuan.
She looked up at Shen Qiu in surprise.
"Shen Qiu, why did you transfer so much money to me?"
"It's for you, take it and use it however you want."
Shen Qiu said with a smile.
"But… "
Yun Xiaoxi said hesitantly that she felt a little guilty for taking so much money by herself.
At this time, Chen Ye also persuaded Yun Xiaoxi with a smile.
"Xiaoxi, don't worry about it. It's given by the boss, so just accept it. It can just help your father, so that your relatives won't look down on you."
"Chen Ye is right."
Qi Dong also followed suit and persuaded.
