Even she herself hadn't expected this to happen.

Her gaze shifted to Lin Yuan, and the momentary surprise she felt was like a dewdrop in the morning light, fleeting and quickly replaced by professional composure.

"Thirty million, second confirmation..."

Inside the venue, there was complete silence; even breathing seemed to freeze.

All eyes were drawn to Lin Yuan, deeply impressed by his imposing and composed demeanor, and no one dared to break the silence.

Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly, forming a calm and confident smile, his eyes gleaming with the light of victory, everything was under his control.

This seemingly ordinary plot of land, designated as plot number eight, is industrial land and can only be used for building factories.

Currently, environmental pollution is particularly serious in Shanghai. Factories that cause serious pollution are either required to rectify the situation or shut down directly.

And so, in an almost legendary way, it came into his possession.

The real estate developers below the stage looked at each other, some shaking their heads and sighing, while others whispered about Lin Yuan's crazy actions.

Old Li couldn't help but stand up, point at Lin Yuan's back, and say loudly, "Young man, are you burning money? This piece of land is a hot potato!"

Lin Yuan turned around, his gaze sweeping over the man like a knife, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "A hot potato? Heh, you only see the surface, but you can't see the potential. I'm determined to get this land!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another uproar in the audience.

The crowd began whispering amongst themselves, discussing Lin Yuan's bold words.

"Young man, are you gambling?"

Another real estate tycoon finally couldn't hold back, and a hint of sarcasm slipped into his words.

Lin Yuan curled his lips into a cold smile, calmly stood up, and strode forward with steady steps.

His every step was steady and firm, striking the heartstrings of everyone like drumbeats.

Standing tall, his voice was deep and resonant, like an ancient echo.

"Gambling? No, what I'm doing is a meticulously planned scheme. What you all see are merely the obstacles before us; what I desire is a future that others can only dream of. This land is mine to possess!"

These words struck like a thunderclap in the hall, deeply moving everyone present.

Everyone was stunned by his imposing presence, and for a moment no one dared to speak.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "Young Master Lin, you're declaring war on the entire business world of Shanghai!"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly.

"Declaring war? No, I'm just proving that we need action, not empty talk!"

The audience fell silent, speechless, stunned by Lin Yuan's aura.

At that moment, a meaningful smile inadvertently appeared on Lin Yuan's lips.

His words fell softly, like a gentle breeze rippled across the water, yet they carried a force not to be underestimated.

"Of course, if any of you are not satisfied, you are welcome to give it a try. I, Lin Yuan, have always enjoyed this game and will join you all in this endeavor."

These words caused an instant uproar in the audience, with some covering their mouths and chuckling, enjoying the sudden dramatic turn of events.

Some people were dumbfounded, speechless for a moment, stunned by Lin Yuan's undisguised arrogance.

The bidding for Plot No. 8 inadvertently pushed the atmosphere of the auction to a delicate and complex critical point.

The host coughed lightly, her voice still soft and melodious, but it couldn't completely mask the chill that was quietly spreading through the venue.

Lin Yuan became the center of attention overnight. He stood there, calmly leading the storm. Every glance and every breath he took touched the nerves of everyone present.

Such a scene is not only a contest of wealth and desire, but also a microcosm of the intertwining of the brilliance and shadow of human nature.

Lin Yuan, in his own unique way, was leisurely navigating all of this.

"Fifty million, the hammer falls!"

The host's voice finally broke through the silence, filled with barely suppressed excitement, announcing the arrival of this crucial moment.

Her tone conveyed both joy at the successful transaction and a hint of curiosity about Lin Yuan, the buyer.

Xu Lan looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She knew that Lin Yuan's actions were not impulsive; he must have his own plan.

And it was at this auction that she got to know Lin Yuan again.

Filled with doubt, Xu Lan eagerly inquired with her parents about the details of plot number eight.

She knew her parents had extensive experience in the real estate industry and would definitely be able to give her some valuable advice.

"Dad, Mom, do you think that plot of land number eight is worth anything today?"

Xu Lan sat next to her mother and asked with a serious expression.

The father put down the walnuts in his hand, frowned, and said, "Lanlan, that piece of land is not simple. Shanghai's environmental protection policies are getting stricter and stricter, and it is becoming more and more difficult to develop industrial land. If the environmental problems cannot be solved, this piece of land is simply unusable."

The mother sighed and added, "We've researched this land before. Under the current policies, if we were to develop it, the initial environmental protection investments and approval processes would consume a lot of time and money. All things considered, the development cost of this land is extremely high. If we acquire it for more than 35 million, there will basically be no profit."

Xu Lan was even more puzzled after hearing her parents' words.

Lin Yuan clearly knew these difficulties, so why did he raise the price to fifty million without hesitation?

Does he really not know the risks, or does he have other plans?

"Then why did Lin Yuan offer such a high price?" Xu Lan couldn't help but ask.

The father shook his head: "I don't know. Maybe he has other plans, or maybe he thinks this land has other value. But from the perspective of us old real estate developers, this land is too risky."

The mother chimed in, "Yes, the real estate industry is fiercely competitive now, and the policies are so strict. Lin Yuan's actions this time are really hard to understand."

Xu Lan fell silent.

Lin Yuan's actions were definitely not impulsive; he must have had his own plan.

Xu Lan felt a mix of emotions, both worried and expectant. She decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Lin Yuan to see what his plans were.
