"Okay, the representative from Dongfang Investment has put down 100 million. Are there any other business owners who would like to make a bid?"

The host was already cursing Dongfang Shuo's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind.

But he still smiled and addressed the other bosses in the audience.

"I'll offer two hundred million!"

Some companies that lacked the strength to compete started whispering among themselves when they heard Dongfang Shuo mention 100 million as if he were talking about 100 million A4 sheets of paper.

Some people knew about Dongfang Investment and then told each other, and everyone realized that behind them was the Dongfang family, one of the four major families, a wealthy and established family.

Those who were still hoping to find a bargain all backed down, not wanting to provoke the Dongfang family.

If this isn't handled properly, the other side could target you.

Just as these people were discussing, another voice rang out. Just when everyone thought that the project would be awarded to Oriental Investment, someone actually dared to go against them, and everyone stopped discussing.

They all looked towards Lu Fan and Liu Shang on the sofa in front.

Many people don't know Liu Shang, but everyone recognizes Lu Fan. The Jiang Group has grown from a small business to a multi-industry investment company with considerable financial resources and strength.

These achievements are also inseparable from Lu Fan's efforts; all these companies are aware of Lu Fan's activities.

The only ones who weren't surprised were the people from Oriental Investment; a barely perceptible smile appeared on Dongfang Shuo's lips.

Then, without waiting for the host to announce Lu Fan's quoted price, he continued to hold up his sign and firmly stated to the host.

"Isn't two hundred million a bit too little? I'll offer two hundred and fifty million!"

"Dongfang Investment has offered 250 million. Does anyone else wish to bid?"

The host was also surprised that this project could fetch 250 million. Although the land was excellent, there were still many unresolved issues.

So even before the bidding started, they were already worried about this. He didn't intentionally say anything bad about this project.

After hearing Dongfang Shuo's quote, the host was overjoyed. That was 250 million RMB, and he could take a 0.5% cut from it. That was a huge fortune!

Even excluding the previous projects, this one project alone has already generated over a million in commissions. The host feels that the price could be raised further.

Then his gaze turned towards the direction where Lu Fan was.

Everyone could see that Oriental Investment was determined to win this project. As long as Lu Fan continued to bid, Oriental Investment would definitely follow suit no matter how much, which was what the bidding process wanted.

"Mr. Lu, didn't we say we didn't want this land? Why are we still putting money into it?"

Just as Lu Fan was about to raise the sign in his hand, Liu Shang stopped him.

Then, looking at Dongfang Shuo who was smiling at them from the opposite side, Lu Fan was a little confused about what he wanted to do.

Lu Fan had already said that they had to win the last project. If they invested their only funds in the second to last project, they would have no chance to compete for the last one.

“I know what I’m doing. If you don’t believe me, then you can bid for it.”

Lu Fan glanced at Liu Shang's hand resting on his arm, then handed the plaque in his hand to the other man and said.

“I have no doubts. Since I’ve agreed to cooperate with you, Lu Fan, I don’t understand this bidding process, so I’ll leave it to you.”

Liu Shang watched as Lu Fan handed him the sign, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should take it or not.

After thinking for a moment, he pushed the sign back to Lu Fan and said to him.

“I’ll offer 280 million. If Oriental Investment continues, I’ll give this land to them.”

Lu Fan then raised the sign, turned his head and looked at Dongfang Shuo sitting on the sofa not far away.

This also conveys to the other party that this is their bottom line; if Oriental Investment really wants it, they will have to offer a higher price.

If the other party is just trying to inflate the price, you can still get the project at a small cost.

"President Lu from the Jiang Group has offered 280 million RMB. I wonder if the representative from Oriental Investment will continue to bid?"

Upon hearing Lu Fan's offer, although Lu Fan's bidding method violated their rules somewhat, they didn't say anything, and then turned to Dongfang Shuo with a smile and asked.

"I don't want it anymore. Since Mr. Lu of Jiang's Group wants that lousy place, then we, Oriental Investment, will generously give it to you."

Upon hearing Lu Fan's words, Dongfang Shuo's smile vanished, and after a few seconds of pause, he addressed the host.

"Alright, then congratulations to our Jiang Group for winning this project. This project will be constructed by Shanggong Construction Company. Congratulations to President Lu and President Liu."

Upon hearing that Dongfang Shuo had stopped bidding, the host smiled and lowered his gavel, then smiled and addressed everyone.

Many of those present were prominent business owners.

They had also heard a lot of news that a new construction company had recently opened and was quite capable.

Moreover, the Jiang Group had intervened, indicating a growing momentum. Everyone secretly remembered Liu Shang's appearance, and they had also heard that Liu Shang used to be a gang leader.

They are ruthless and vicious; these business owners aren't afraid of offending gentlemen, but they are terrified of offending someone like Liu Shang.
