Chapter 33 Suffering a loss
"Ten million!"
On the high platform, a woman's voice came loudly. Zhou Zechuan looked at the bidding card in his hand, and sweat appeared on his palms.
"What's wrong, Sawakawa? If it doesn't work, forget it."
Ji Wan frowned, his face full of concern.
Zhou Zechuan looked at Wang Boyuan who was sitting in the front. Wang Boyuan had his back to him, so he couldn't see his expression clearly. He could only see him raising the sign again and again.
Zhou Zechuan pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking. As Chi Wenyan raised his hand again, the bid had reached 15 million.
The land is good, but it's not that big. If it costs more than 10 million, it wouldn't be worth it.
Just as he was thinking, Wang Boyuan raised the sign again, and then Zhou Zechuan's cell phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was a message from Wang Boyuan.
"Zechuan, I've invested a lot of effort in this piece of land. Please don't let me down."
Wang Boyuan's news really made Zhou Zechuan break out in a cold sweat.
He subconsciously tried to hold Ji Wan's hand, but Ji Wan cleverly avoided it. She didn't want to shake hands with Zhou Zechuan, as it made her feel extremely disgusted.
Zhou Zechuan felt his hand was empty and was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Ji Wan to avoid him. Then he remembered that they were still in a secret marriage. If he held Ji Wan's hand in public, what would others think?
It seems that Ji Wan still remembers what he said.
Zhou Zechuan nodded with relief, then put his fist to his lips and coughed, trying to dispel the embarrassment.
Chi Wenyan, who was sitting in the front, saw this scene out of the corner of his eye, pursed his lips, continued to look forward, and raised the bidding card in his hand again.
Zhou Zechuan gritted his teeth and looked at Chi Wenyan in front of him, thinking to himself that he really didn't come back to Kyoto to mess with him.
When the price increased to 16 million, Chi Wenyan stopped raising the bid. 16 million was already a high price, so he just waited for the hammer to fall for the third time, and the land would fall into his hands as he wished.
Ji Wan's eyes flickered. What was Chi Wenyan's plan? Was he planning to trick Zhou Zechuan? Or was he really planning to buy the land at a high price just to upset Zhou Zechuan?
Although he had been in contact with Chi Wenyan these days, and couldn't say that he knew him at all, Ji Wan could still get a rough idea of his temper.
Seeing him like this, Ji Wan couldn't help but curl her lips, her eyes flashing with interest.
As the hammer fell for the second time, Zhou Zechuan could hardly sit still.
Just as the hammer fell for the third time, Feng Hao slowly raised the hammer in his hand and directly bid twenty-three million.
Ji Wan didn't even look at Zhou Zechuan's expression, for fear that he would suddenly change his face and eat people.
"Feng Hao..."
Zhou Zechuan looked at Feng Hao with gritted teeth, but Feng Hao didn't realize that someone was staring at him and continued to stare at the stage seriously.
Zhou Zechuan broke out in a cold sweat, his forehead covered with sweat. If he didn't want this piece of land, all the money and connections he had invested in the early stage would be wasted.
If the project exceeds the budget by a large margin, the cost of construction will have to be reduced. Once the cost is reduced, the consequences may be very different from what was expected.
"Zechuan, if the pressure is too great, just forget it." Ji Wan said softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Boyuan, who was sitting in front, turned around and looked at Zhou Zechuan with a mysterious expression on his face.
"Mr. Zhou is asking for 21 million!"
Zhou Zechuan raised the sign, cold sweat rolling down his face. He couldn't lose and couldn't let his money go to waste.
At this time, all the bigwigs in the field looked at each other, and their eyes were vaguely looking at these people, with some puzzled expressions in their eyes.
I thought to myself, what a big project this must be to drive up the price so high? If they built more floors, who knows how high the housing prices would go. But no one had heard any news.
"What's going on? What is Blue Sky Real Estate going to do?"
"More than 20 million, what can you do with such a small piece of land?"
"Don't you know? Blue Sky Real Estate is teaming up with Zhou Zechuan to build a nursing home."
"There are nursing homes in Yucheng, right?"
"Yes, but I heard it's a high-end nursing home, but the investment cost is too high."
"Who knows? Anyway, I feel like I've been taken advantage of. It's not worth it."
Zhou Zechuan's face became darker and darker. It was not like he couldn't hear what they said, but what else could he do?
Fenghao continued to raise the price, and after a while it had risen to twenty-seven million.
"Twenty-eight million! Any more? Is there any sir who can offer a higher price?"
Zhou Zechuan pursed his lips. If Feng Hao did this on purpose, he would definitely raise the price. If that was the case, he would just drive up the price and let Feng Hao be the one who got taken advantage of.
Just as he was thinking this, as the hammer fell for the third time, the woman's voice rose high and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou, for successfully bidding for this piece of land for 23 million. Congratulations!"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, it was like a blow to Zhou Zechuan.
What's going on? Why did I bid for this land?
There was sparse applause all around, some of these people looked at each other in a mocking manner, some in a watching mood, and some even looked completely gloating.
The sudden appearance of the victim in Yucheng is just a fun thing to watch.
"Zechuan, Zechuan, what's wrong with you!"
Ji Wan grabbed Zhou Zechuan's hand and pulled Zhou Zechuan back, who was seeing a black screen.
Wang Boyuan walked over with a complicated expression and patted Zhou Zechuan on the shoulder.
"Alas, Zechuan, you were a bit impulsive this time, but this piece of land should be good for development. Keep up the good work."
"Mr. Wang, what do you mean by this? We agreed to develop it together. Are you trying to kick me out?"
"How can you say kick it open? Xiao Zhou, you're wrong to say that. It's just that your investment cost is too high this time. I want to supply you with equipment and other things, but the cost is too high and I can't afford it."
Wang Boyuan changed his friendly look and obviously wanted to draw a clear line between himself and Zhou Zechuan.
It is too late to find a partner now, and Zhou Zechuan doesn't want to fall out with Wang Boyuan, so he can only swallow his anger.
"Mr. Wang, please don't be angry. I didn't mean any harm. I just acted impulsively this time. But we also agreed on this before. Could you please help me transition for a while?"
Wang Boyuan's eyelids drooped.
"Xiao Zhou, we're all from Yucheng. Since you said so, I'm going to help you. How about this? I'll give you a 30% discount on the materials for your construction."
Zhou Zechuan almost vomited blood, his face turning pale.
What kind of help is this? It's not like he can't find the way. What he needs is financial support.
However, Wang Boyuan was no longer willing to talk to him and waved his hand before leaving the venue.
Chi Wenyan and Feng Hao came over, and Zhou Zechuan's gloomy face could no longer be suppressed when he saw Feng Hao.
"Feng Hao, what do you mean? Why are you suddenly raising the price with me?"
Zhou Zechuan took a few big steps. Feng Hao, who was nonchalant, looked at him with his hands in his pockets and laughed when he heard what he said.
"Don't be angry, Zechuan. I'm doing this to help you."
