He Wu really wanted to take over the Kowloon Official Residence.
Under normal circumstances, he would not back down.
But when faced with Lin Yu, he had no choice but to back down.
The other party is a martial arts master!
This was someone even powerful clans and noble families were unwilling to offend, and he didn't want to provoke them.
So even if he really wanted the plate, he had no choice but to give it up now.
However, even if one wants to back down under the watchful eyes of the public, there must be a suitable reason.
So he went along with it, claiming it was to repay Lin Yu's kindness and fulfill his promise.
In this way, he could save face and also show that He Wuzhong was loyal, righteous, and grateful.
Sure enough, as soon as he said that, everyone started talking.
"So this Mr. Lin saved Fifth Master's son's life!"
"Fifth Master is truly a man of great loyalty and righteousness!"
"A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude in return; this is the true mark of a great leader!"
Everyone showered him with compliments.
But they're not stupid either.
They knew exactly who Master He was.
That's a business worth tens of billions, with unimaginable profits. Would Fifth Master really hand over such a huge pie just because of some so-called favor?
impossible!
Someone immediately thought of it.
The reason why Fifth Master gave up was mostly because of his fear!
This young man probably has an even more terrifying background!
These words are best kept to yourself; you must never say them aloud, for you must consider Fifth Master's feelings.
Fifth Master is clearly looking for a way to save face, and no one would be foolish enough to undermine him.
Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly.
He hadn't expected He Wu to be so sensible; it seemed the other party was probably wary of him.
What are you afraid of him for?
It certainly wasn't medical skills.
As for his identity, that's top secret; the other party certainly wouldn't know.
That would most likely be because they are afraid of my own strength!
However, since they were giving him face, he didn't feel obligated to expose them.
"Since Mr. He is so generous, then I, Lin, will accept it without hesitation!" Lin Yu also took the opportunity to give He Wu face.
He Wu nodded. "If Mr. Lin encounters any difficulties while doing business in Xidu in the future, just let me know, and I, He Wu, will certainly do my duty without hesitation!"
"Listen up, all of you! From now on, Mr. Lin will be my honored guest. Anyone who dares to oppose Mr. Lin is disrespecting me, He Wu, and I, He Wu, will never forgive them!"
After saying this, He Wu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lin Yu, "Mr. Lin, since you intend to participate in the auction, I will take my leave now. I wish you every success!"
Lin Yu nodded slightly, "Thank you for your kind words!"
He Wu nodded, waved his hand, and quickly led Zhang Biao and the others away from the venue.
Everyone stared in disbelief.
Fifth Master has actually left?
You should know that Fifth Master was the most powerful among the big shots who participated in the auction today. Now that even Fifth Master has left, who would dare to compete with this young man?
Didn't you hear what Fifth Master just said?
Anyone who dares to oppose Mr. Lin is disrespecting Fifth Master. This is clearly a move to promote Lin Yu!
The bigwigs present weren't fools. Someone who even Fifth Master had to back down from was definitely not someone they could afford to provoke.
After some thought, the crowd shook their heads. Most of them had given up on bidding, and some had even left the venue.
At this moment, the auction countdown has begun on the big screen.
Thump!
As a bell rang, a line of auctioneers in suits walked out from backstage and took their seats at the front.
A male auctioneer walked onto the stage with a smile on his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon! I am the auctioneer from the Shen Group responsible for this Kowloon Residence auction. Surrounding me are colleagues from the Shen Group and public officials from the notary office. To ensure the fairness, impartiality, and legal validity of this auction, please have our notary read out the relevant laws and regulations, as well as the notary letter!"
At the auctioneer's instruction, a notary public conducted an on-site notarization.
The auction then officially began.
"The land use rights and other details for this Kowloon Residence development, including the commercial land use rights, are detailed below and will not be repeated here. The starting price for this auction is HK$100 million! Each bid increment is one percent. Now, let's begin!"
As the auctioneer's voice faded.
A tall, imposing figure slightly raised his arm. "One hundred and one million!"
The first person to bid was naturally Lin Yu.
The auctioneer was delighted, as he hadn't expected such enthusiastic participation; bids were placed immediately after the auction began.
He said happily, "Okay, this gentleman has bid 101 million. Now, please continue bidding!"
However, after he said that, there was a deathly silence below.
The auctioneer was momentarily stunned.
What's going on?
No one is bidding anymore?
Oh~ they're probably just waiting for him to call out a second time!
So he cleared his throat and shouted again, "One hundred and one million, second time, any more bids?"
He had assumed that once he said that, the big shots would eagerly bid.
But no!
Everyone was speechless!
What a joke! Fifth Master already hinted quite clearly. At this moment, who would dare to compete with Mr. Lin?
How could they possibly compete with a man who even Fifth Master had to yield to? It's better to do him a favor and avoid offending him!
However, the auctioneer was dumbfounded and broke out in a cold sweat.
"What's wrong with you all? Why isn't anyone bidding? One hundred million and one million, is anyone else going to bid?" The auctioneer shouted loudly, afraid they wouldn't hear him.
