In the dark auction venue, a pair of eyes were fixed on the projector screen. Here is a video:
The vast and turbulent sea is dotted with islands, like inlaid gems. The soaring eagle swooped down towards an isolated island. The island is very large, covering dozens of square kilometers. The rolling mountains, lush trees, the splendid singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the play of colorful butterflies on the peaks.
The highest peak in the center of the island is a majestic castle, full of strong European style. The flat road diverged into three branches at the top of the mountain, one leading to the castle, one to the nearby parking lot, and one to the apron.
Looking over the island, you will be surprised to find that nine hills extend towards the sea for thousands of meters. At the end of each hill, there is a European-style pavilion. Along the way down each hill to the seaside area, there is a private dock for berthing passenger ships.
"Nine dragon spitting beads?"
"How can it be?"
Tang Xiu's pupils kept shrinking, and his eyes burst out with incredible light. His body was trembling slightly at this moment, and his heart was racing like a turbulent wave.
Once upon a time, when he was in the fairy world, he also had an excellent Feng Shui treasure land. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth there is rich, and the spiritual power of the earth veins is sufficient. Practicing there is definitely a way to get twice the result with half the effort. And that place is called "The Secret Realm of Nine Dragons Spitting Pearls".
Video playback ends.
The lights of the entire auction venue were turned back on, and the auctioneer said with a smile: "The video you are seeing is our last auction today. Kowloon Island is located in the Pacific Ocean, and its neighboring island is Nantiao Island. The distance between them is two thousand nautical miles."
"This private island was originally owned by a European consortium owner. But unfortunately, the island had just been developed for two and a half years, and the consortium owner had to sell the private island due to special reasons. It just so happens that the big boss of our auction has a good relationship with the owner of the island, so he entrusted the auction rights to us."
"The guests who are qualified to attend the Bauhinia Auction are all the real wealthy people in China. I believe that many people will be interested in this Feng Shui treasure land. So, without further ado, I will discuss the auction of this private island. Start now."
"Its base price is 500 million, and each increase must not be less than 10 million. The bidding begins now."
As the auctioneer finished speaking, hundreds of people participating in the auction below all started whispering. After all, this involves a transaction of at least 500 million. Although they are all rich, 500 million is not a small amount for them.
"This island is nice."
Miao Wentang had a bit of a smile on his face, but had no intention of bidding. He glanced sideways at Tang Xiu, then turned his head in the other direction, looked at Shao Ming and asked with a smile: "If I remember correctly, you are planning to buy a house abroad recently. How about it? Are you interested?"
Shao Mingzhen was silent for a moment, slowly shook his head and said: "The base price of this private island is indeed not high. If you can get it for 500 million, you can make some money even if you buy it and resell it. But everyone knows this Question, so I think even if it’s one billion, I may not be able to buy it. I’m not a wealthy person, so I can’t compare with you. So, let me start being a soy saucer!”
Miao Wentang laughed dumbly and said: "If you really want to buy it, I can lend it to you. I can't come up with more than that, but I can still come up with one billion working capital."
Shao Mingzhen smiled and said, "Let me take a look first!"
Tang Xiu stood up, walked to the back corner of the auction venue, and dialed a number.
Star City.
In a villa near the King of Observation Building in Nanzha Town, Chen Zhizhong, who had just bought the villa, was sitting cross-legged in the study, seriously practicing the skills taught to him by Tang Xiu. He used to be a cultivator, but what he practiced was true energy, which was very different from cultivating immortality.
but.
There are many roads, but different paths lead to the end.
Because of the previous foundation, he is working hard to convert the true energy into true essence.
"Ring ring ring..."
Chen Zhizhong, who was practicing, was awakened by the sudden ringing of his cell phone. Suddenly, a look of irritation appeared on his face. He grabbed his phone and looked at the number on the caller ID. The anger on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by a look of respect. He pressed the answer button:
"Master, are you looking for me?"
"I need money, the more the better. How much money can you mobilize in ten minutes?"
“…”
Chen Zhizhong was silent for half a minute, thinking constantly in his mind. After half a minute, he said: "About three billion. Time is too tight. If you can give me half a day more, I can get up to five billion, or even More."
Tang Xiu said: "I will give you my account. In ten minutes, three billion will be transferred to my account."
"good!"
Chen Zhizhong agreed, no longer caring about practicing, and started making phone calls continuously.
Jingmen Island, auction venue.
Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang were chatting together in private when they suddenly noticed Tang Xiu leaving his seat, and they looked at each other in confusion. Tang Xiu had just left his seat to make a phone call. After he came back, he began to participate in the auction of Millennium Ginseng.
"Brother Miao, is Tang Xiu going to bid again? Is he interested in that private island?" Shao Mingzhen asked in a low voice with surprise in his eyes.
Miao Wentang whispered: "It's very possible. Look at his serious expression, I think this matter is very close. However, I really can't understand why he would go to the Pacific Ocean to buy something at his age. It’s a private island. Is it possible to move to that island and live in isolation?”
Shao Mingzhen smiled bitterly and said: "I can't see through it. I really can't see through it! To be honest, Tang Xiu's age and appearance give me a strong sense of contradiction. I simply can't figure out how such a young man behaves and behaves His behavior and actions don’t look like a young man at all? Instead, he looks like a wise man with a deep scheming mind?”
"He is a monster."
Miao Wentang closed the coffin and discussed the truth.
Tang Xiu returned to his seat and waited quietly for the funds to arrive. Although he saw the strange expressions on Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen's faces, he didn't explain much.
If Thousand-Year Ginseng is something he wants very much, then he is bound to get this private island. Even if you try to snatch it, you must get it.
"Five hundred and ten million."
The fat middle-aged man with the image of a nouveau riche was the first to make an offer.
"Five hundred and twenty million."
"Five hundred and fifty million."
“…”
In the last round of auctions, the number of people participating in the bidding was relatively much smaller than before, but there were still more than a dozen people who were constantly raising their bids. Among them, the one who quoted the most joyfully was the fat middle-aged man wearing a gold chain. Seven or eight minutes later, the price had climbed to 1.48 billion.
"Fifteen billion!"
A trace of sweat appeared on the fat middle-aged man's forehead, and he still shouted loudly.
"Two billion!"
Another old man, who was over seventy years old, raised the sign in his hand and shouted.
The fat middle-aged man suddenly turned his head, staring at the old man with his angry eyes. After breathing heavily for a few times, he shouted again: "Twenty-one billion."
At this price, the only ones still bidding were the old man and the fat middle-aged man. The old man had no expression on his face, as if he had turned a blind eye to the anger on the fat middle-aged man's face, and quoted again: "Twenty-two billion."
"Twenty-three billion!"
The fat middle-aged man's voice was a little hoarse, but he still persisted.
However!
What made him turn from anger to joy was that the old man shook his head silently and stopped quoting.
"Huh..."
The fat middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he has reached his limit. If the price is increased, he will give up.
The auctioneer had a smile on his lips, his eyes flickering, and he said with a smile: "Now the price of Kowloon Island has climbed to 2.3 billion. This is indeed a terrifying amount, but I think there should be someone who has not made a move. After all, , a private island of dozens of square kilometers, even the development and construction has been completed. If it is used rationally, it will definitely be a paradise on earth and a kingdom of its own."
"On Kowloon Island, there is no law in real society. Whoever owns the entire Kowloon Island is the king of this land and the person with the most rights. If the owner of Kowloon Island is willing, he can apply internationally for establishment. New country.”
"This is a dream, a paradise. I want to ask, is there anyone else willing to increase the price? Is there anyone else who wants to be the owner of Kowloon Island?"
The entire auction venue became deathly silent.
Everyone is watching each other. They were incited by the auctioneer's words, and their emotions had been completely mobilized, but they couldn't come up with so much liquidity. Otherwise, it will have a serious impact on their career and cause serious damage.
Heartbeat!
But helpless!
This is the truest portrayal of their hearts.
Auctioneer Xiao Ai's beautiful face showed a trace of disappointment. Although the price of 2.3 billion had exceeded her expectations by a lot, she still hoped that the island could be sold at a higher price.
The fat middle-aged man was just the opposite. A smile appeared on his face again, even with a bit of pride. His eyes swept over the last old man who bid with him, and then subconsciously glanced at Tang Xiu.
"Twenty-five billion!"
Tang Xiu's voice echoed at the auction venue.
For a moment.
Everyone in the entire auction venue had strange expressions. No one thought that Tang Xiu, who could not even buy Millennium Ginseng before, would actually bid for this private island and even quoted a sky-high price!
Does he have that much money
Where did he get such courage
besides…
who is he
Questions surged in everyone's excited hearts.
Miao Wentang, Shao Mingzhen, and even the immortal Zi Yi who were sitting next to Tang Xiu were all shocked by Tang Xiu's generosity. They looked at Tang Xiu in disbelief. They didn't expect Tang Xiu to be able to spend so much money!
Shao Mingzhen touched Miao Wentang lightly and said in a low voice: "Please advise him not to mess around here. The big boss behind this auction is very powerful, and we can never afford to offend him."
