Lin Dong's bid surprised everyone.

What's wrong?

Everyone else is adding hundreds of millions or even billions to the bid, and you're only adding 10 million?

Has the young hero suddenly changed his style?

Boos erupted.

Most people were surprised and puzzled.

Only a few political and business heavyweights and seasoned veterans understood the young man's intentions.

Yes, at auctions, the one with the most presence and strength often wins when bidding for a desired item.

By significantly increasing the price, they can deter the other party and thus secure the deal.

Lin Dong used this strategy in the previous two auctions.

Conversely, if you follow your competitors closely, you can only slightly increase your prices.

There are only two purposes:

First, humiliate the opponent or deliberately provoke them to make them lose their composure.

Second, it implies to the opponent that I am stronger than you, so no matter how much money you offer, I will offer more.

......

Judging from Lin Dong's relaxed and cheerful demeanor among the big shots at Table 1, he seemed to have a good relationship with everyone.

Therefore, the first possibility of deliberately humiliating competitors can be ruled out.

The second remaining possibility is that Lin Dong wants to explicitly tell Bao Wenhai that his financial resources are greater than Bao Wenhai's.

Old Bao, stop now, I have plenty of money behind me!

......

Are you wealthier than Bao Wenhai?

Are you kidding me?

It is important to know that Bao Wenhai's wealth was inherited from shipping magnate Bao Tonggang.

His wealth ranks at least in the top five among Hong Kong's top tycoons.

This was after Bao Tonggang passed away and the Bao family was divided up.

Twenty years ago, when Li Ka-shing's net worth was only 3 billion, the Bao family's wealth had already dominated Asia, reaching an astonishing 40 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Now, 20 years later, no one knows exactly how much wealth Bao Wenhai possesses.

The Forbes rich list published by authoritative media only counts the wealth that is publicly known among the rich.

Who can guess how much wealth these top business tycoons secretly possess?

......

"Mr. Lin Dong at table number 1 has offered 2.01 billion."

"Mr. Bao, would you like to increase the price?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bao Wenhai's face shifted for a few seconds, and amidst a sea of ​​astonished gazes, he actually chose to withdraw from the bidding:

"I'm not going anymore!"

"Whoosh!"

What... what's going on here?

Something's not right with the art style.

When two tigers fight, shouldn't they go back and forth, engaging in fierce battles?

How come you, a top-tier tycoon, bowed down and admitted defeat after your opponent only raised the price by 10 million?

Quick! Someone knowledgeable needs to explain this...

Bao Wenhai's sudden withdrawal from the game caught the onlookers off guard.

The auction hall erupted in noise again, filled with puzzled discussions.

Only a few discerning people secretly admired Bao Wenhai's intelligence.

At the same time, they were even more amazed by Lin Dong's cunning methods and his enormous influence.

That's right, Bao Wenhai decisively conceded defeat, not because he lacked financial resources, nor because he was afraid of losing to Lin Dong, a junior.

He was giving Lin Dong face.

Before participating in the auction, Lin Dong made his stance clear: he did not yet have a place to stay on Hong Kong Island.

66 Deep Water Bay Road was his ideal residence.

There's no other reason than that Lin Dong is moving in here, officially stepping into Hong Kong's top circle of wealthy elites.

Yes.

I'm coming in, are you happy to see me?

Therefore, he only increased the price by 10 million.

This 10 million is his attitude.

Lin Dong's mysterious background and his popularity among the big shots at Table 1 are obvious to all.

Bao Wenhai wasn't stupid; how could he not understand Lin Dong's meaning?

If he insists on competing with Lin Dong tonight, he will not only lose Lin Dong's friendship, but may also be despised by several of his friends.

We old folks are trying every possible way to get closer to Lin Dong, but you, Bao Wenhai, are deliberately blocking us. What's the meaning of that?

Fortunately, the melodramatic plot did not unfold.

The bigwigs at table number 1 immediately beamed with joy, praising Bao Wenhai for his magnanimity and foresight.

............................................

"66 Deep Water Bay Road, HK$2.01 billion, the first time."

"HK$2.01 billion, for the second time!"

"HK$2.01 billion, third time... Sold!"

Congratulations, Mr. Lin!

......

With the sound of Allen's gavel, everything was settled.

The last item in the auction, and also the most important item of the night, finally went to the Lin family.

The auction was met with enthusiastic applause.

No one expected that it would be obtained by a previously unknown young man.

However, after tonight, Lin Dong's name will surely appear on the front page of major Hong Kong media outlets.

Moreover, Lin Dong's background and many of his past deeds will certainly not escape the in-depth investigation of Hong Kong gossip media.

After his high-profile debut, it seems impossible for Lin Dong to hide his strength and keep a low profile.

It's okay, he didn't intend to keep a low profile any longer anyway.

Now that they've sunk even an American nuclear submarine, do they think they can avoid attracting attention? Is that even possible?

There are less than two years left before Lin Dong's earth-shattering plan is implemented.
