Chapter 208: Killing the Master with Random Punches
Manager Wen's smile faded, and he finally revealed some of the pressure from a superior: "Is guest number 14 questioning the fairness of our auction house?"
Du Tianci's heart trembled, and just as he was about to say something else, he was ruthlessly suppressed by his father.
"The kid is just talking nonsense. Manager Wen, don't bother with him. He doesn't mean that."
"It would be best." Manager Wen was too lazy to talk to them and said straight to the point, "If the customer does not trust our auction house, he can just leave first. Honesty is the most important thing in doing business. Without trust, there is naturally no point in doing business."
This is a blatant threat. If Du Tianci continues to act like this, the auction house will directly throw him out, or even throw out all three of them, father and son!
Du Weilu understood what he said, his face changed slightly, but he had to smile and sit down.
After all, even the gentleman behind them had to give some face to the auction house, let alone these minions.
The troublemakers were dealt with and the auction was able to continue.
With the confidence brought by the 2 billion yuan, Duanrao had no pressure to follow suit, but she soon discovered that some customers who had not followed them to verify their capital just now also started to raise their signs again.
"These people..." Duanrao subconsciously looked around for confirmation.
Xi Jingyue smiled and said, "They didn't go to verify the capital just now."
"So I remembered correctly, then they..."
"Their current behavior is in line with the auction house's rules."
In other words, whether or not one is willing to accept capital verification is a personal decision. If they are unwilling to do so, the auction house cannot do anything to them.
Similarly, if they want to bid now, the auction house cannot stop them because this is in line with the auction house's rules.
"…Can it be like this?!" Duanrao could understand, but was greatly shocked.
Xi Jingyue just smiled and said nothing. When Duanrao suggested that all the bidders go to verify their capital, he had already guessed that this would be the result.
Although the little girl is smart, she still thinks too highly of others and has too many limits.
This incident also taught her a lesson. The adult world is not short of rogues.
As long as the benefits are big enough, face comes second.
Duanrao was indeed shocked, but only for a moment.
The hand was on someone else's body, and there was nothing she could do if the person continued to raise the placard to bid.
After all, her focus is still on herself. In the face of absolute financial power, the shameless behavior of these people is not worth mentioning at all.
"1.2 billion."
"One thousand two hundred and ten million."
“…”
"1.3 billion."
"1.31 billion."
“…”
"1.4 billion."
"1.41 billion."
“…”
Before this, the parties had been competing very closely, and as soon as one person shouted out a price, another would immediately follow suit.
But when Duanrao shouted out "1.5 billion", the entire auction hall fell silent, and even those guests who were a little too excited about bidding suddenly woke up as if a basin of ice water was poured over their heads.
"1.5 billion? They actually asked for 1.5 billion. Even if the prospect of the land in the South District is very good, it can't be worth that much money, right?"
"This is just the price of the land. We will have to spend a lot of money on future investment and promotion. How long will it take to get our money back? Is this woman crazy?"
"Someone has estimated the value of the land in the southern district before. The lower limit is 800 million, and the upper limit is 1.3 billion. With the preferential treatment given to that area by the authorities in the past two years, the total price has risen slightly, but at most it is the current price. If it is bid higher, it will lose money."
"That's right. If we bid higher, we will lose money. If we add that piece of wasteland in the northern suburbs, we will lose even more. Haven't you noticed that the representatives of those big families over there have already put down their banners and stopped their activities?"
“Hahaha, this is really a case of a random punch defeating a master. Who could have thought that the land in the South District would end up in the hands of such a little girl? We can be said to have witnessed history.”
"What little girl? After all, isn't it Master Jiu who is protecting you from behind? Maybe it was Master Jiu's idea to buy this piece of land in the first place, and this little girl was just pushed out in the open as a target, just like those people over there."
It was a pity that others gave up the bidding, but it was also a relief.
After all, after exceeding 1 billion, many people just held on for the sake of face. Now it has reached 1.5 billion, and it would be ungrateful if they don’t withdraw.
Even if they were held accountable afterwards, the responsibility they would have to bear would be limited. After all, did they lose to a little girl? They lost to 1.5 billion!
But compared to them, Du Tianci and his two sons were not so lucky.
"Impossible, how could she have so much money? Second Grandpa, he...he..." Du Tianci wanted to say that he deserved to die, but when the words came to his lips, he thought of so many people nearby.
As soon as he said this, it might reach Du Desheng's ears, and then it would be hard to say who would die first.
"It's impossible. People have already raised the price to 1.5 billion. Dad, what should we do now?"
"What can we do? The boss has already given us 1.3 billion. What we just bid has already invested all our own money. If we continue to bid, even if we can take the picture, where can I find so much money?"
Du Tianci had a gloomy face, and he really didn't want Du Anrao to take over the two plots of land: "Can't you borrow some from others?"
"…Do you want to kill me?"
Du Weishu was almost pissed off by this unfilial son. After a while, he said, "Forget it, let her be proud for a while. There are so many people eyeing this place, I don't believe it will be easy for a girl like her to get it. Just wait, some blessings can be obtained by life, but not necessarily enjoyed by life!"
Du Tianci was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what he meant, and there was more gloating in his eyes when he looked at Du Anrao.
Duan Rao didn't care what these people thought. When he saw Manager Wen make the final decision on the stage and announced that he had won the last item, the heavy stone in his heart was finally put down.
At this point, all the items in the auction have been sold. Those who have won items need to follow the staff to the backstage to pay and pick up the items, while those who return empty-handed can leave early.
As a distinguished guest who won two lots at one go, Du Anrao must follow the staff on this trip.
It is worth mentioning that, perhaps because they had nothing to do, or perhaps because they were simply curious about whether she could really come up with so much money, many guests who should have left early actually stayed and followed Du Anrao and others to watch the fun.
And the facts have proved that sometimes leaving late really allows you to watch more fun and eat more melons than others!
Everyone followed Duanrao and the staff to the exhibition hall where they first visited the exhibits. From a distance, they saw a white-haired old man with a cane waiting in the hall.
When they got closer and saw the man's true face, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out from the crowd: "He...why is he here?"
