Chapter 206 Come if you want, who’s afraid of who!
"Capital verification?"
As soon as Du Tianci said this, there was an uproar in the venue again.
The guests present were no strangers to the act of capital verification.
Before they entered the auction hall, all of them had their capital verified. The minimum capital verification requirement was 20 million yuan, in order to prevent customers from bidding on items but not being able to pay for them.
However, verifying funds during the auction was the first time in this auction house.
Especially since the owner of the auction item has not yet been settled, the sudden request for capital verification of the customer seems humiliating no matter how you look at it.
"This..." The host was also confused by Du Tianci and his friends' brilliant move. After a while, he said, "Sorry, we are not qualified to ask customers to re-verify their funds during the auction, and this has never happened before in our auction house."
However, Du Tianci seemed not to understand the other party's tactful refusal, or he understood it but was unwilling to give up the opportunity to step on Du Anrao.
"Just because there wasn't any before doesn't mean there isn't any now. In the past, your auction house probably rarely sold items for this amount, right?"
This is true. Since the establishment of Duobao Pavilion Auction House, the most expensive item sold was only 800 million, and there has never been a case of exceeding 1 billion.
Today's bundled sale of these two plots of land has made history in every sense of the word.
"This..." The host choked and had to ask for help from the person who could really make the decision.
Soon, a handsome middle-aged man hurriedly came to the stage: "Hello, guests. I am the general manager of the auction house. My last name is Wen. We are fully aware of the request of guest No. 14. But out of respect for every guest, we do not have the right to arbitrarily verify the capital of guests, unless..."
Manager Wen glanced at Duan Rao from a distance and said, "Unless the customer voluntarily accepts the capital verification."
Jiang Changbin sneered: "This Manager Wen's words are quite interesting."
Du Tianci pushed the problem to the auction house, and the auction house in turn pushed it to Du Anrao. No one wanted to get involved in this muddy water, but everyone had to.
Xi Jingyue's eyes were slightly stern, and he also smiled: "Maybe this is the first time that Manager Wen has come across such a large amount of transactions, so he is not sure about it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around couldn't help laughing. It was really unique that could describe a person who had never seen the world in such a fresh and refined way.
Even though Jiang Changbin thought that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, he had to admit that what someone said was indeed accurate and satisfying!
When Du Tianci heard what Manager Wen said, he felt that he had the support of the auction house and became more confident. He said to Du Anrao from a distance: "Are you afraid? If so, just give in to us and promise not to continue the auction. We will let this matter go. We are generous and will not pursue it further."
"Don't provoke me. Your provocations won't work on me." Du Anrao didn't even look at him, but looked directly at Manager Wen. "But there's a saying that goes, 'If you are upright, you have nothing to fear.' Since your bank wants to investigate, I can cooperate, but I also have a request."
Duanrao's words directly put himself on the same level as the auction house, completely ignoring the existence of someone.
Manager Wen's eyes darkened slightly: "Please go ahead."
"You can let me verify my capital, but I require that everyone who is interested in this item and is going to bid for it with me must also undergo capital verification. Otherwise, I will be the only outlier, and I won't accept that."
[Isn't it just a capital verification? Come on, who's afraid of who? This is a good opportunity to eliminate a few competitors. ]
This clever ghost!
Xi Jingyue guessed Du Anrao's intention in an instant. He turned to look at the bidders who had just competed fiercely with Du Anrao. Sure enough, he saw that several of them suddenly changed their expressions and looked solemn.
Originally, this land auction was added at the last minute. Except for Du Desheng, a local tycoon who had already prepared 1 billion waiting for Du Anrao to squander, and Xi Jingyue, a king who had a lot of investment working capital, it was difficult for most people to raise more than 1 billion working capital in such a short time, even the major families with deep roots in City B.
Those who are now looking hesitant are probably the ones who can’t wait to raise the money and want to place the order verbally first and then transfer the money when the transaction is completed later.
Who would have thought that a Cheng Yaojin would show up unexpectedly and cause the capital to be verified during the auction!
These people were suddenly in a dilemma. If they wanted to verify their capital, the money had not yet arrived. If they didn't want to verify it, then Miss Du had just said that all those who wanted to bid should verify their capital.
If they don't check, even if they can put their face aside and continue bidding again later, won't the other customers in the auction house have doubts in their minds, thinking that they are deliberately making trouble or simply can't afford the two plots of land?
For a time, many people were dissatisfied and angry with Du Anrao and Du Tianci.
Duanrao was relatively better off. After all, he was forced to accept questioning. Although it was not very moral to drag other people into the water, at least it made sense.
In addition, she has Du Desheng's support, so even if people are dissatisfied with her, they can't do anything to her.
The Du Tianci brothers were different. As the instigators of this incident, their family's involvement in the bidding had already angered many people, and now with this incident, they had become a thorn in everyone's eyes and a thorn in their flesh.
The two brothers were suddenly met with malicious gazes from all directions. They felt like thorns on their backs and broke out in cold sweats.
They just secretly had a lucky break, thinking that everything they were doing now was to complete the task assigned by that important person, and as long as they accomplished this task, that person would definitely not let them get into trouble.
Duanrao's proposal may be difficult for the guests who are about to have their capital verified, but it is beneficial to the auction house.
Manager Wen thought for a moment and nodded, "The request of guest number 18 is reasonable. Does anyone here have any other opinions?"
What opinions could the other guests have? Most people present were just watching the fun and not getting involved.
There are only a few people involved in this matter. These people have either made up their minds to risk their reputation and pretend to be dead, or they are confident and not afraid of being investigated.
"In that case, please ask the guests who need to verify their funds to follow us to the outer box for a one-on-one private verification. Please rest assured that the amount of funds in your bank cards is only for reference and will be kept strictly confidential by our bank."
As soon as Manager Wen said this, several people including Duanrao cooperated and stood up and followed the staff to the box.
The private room of Du Tianci and his companions was right next to Du Anrao. Before entering, Du Tianci snorted coldly and walked into the room with an arrogant look, as if he had already determined that Du Anrao definitely did not have that much money.
Duan Rao: “???”
[To this day, I still don’t understand who gave him the courage to question my ability to make money? Was it Liang Mouru? ]
Jiang Changbin and Xi Jingyue followed Duan Rao because they were worried about him going alone.
