The Nangong family gave Nangong Shou the most decisive instruction:
"This is the best opportunity for us to prove our loyalty to Elder Huang. Since Lu Fan has severed ties with Elder Huang, we don't need to be polite!"
Thus, Nangong Shou is about to face the same choice that Nangong Qun faced back then.
To rob or not to rob?!
This is not a question that Nangong Shou should decide.
After all, even Nangong Qun didn't have a choice back then.
However, Nangong Shou's influence within the Nangong family was far less than Nangong Qun's. "Ten billion!"
Nangong Shou raised the bid to one billion.
This was not the Nangong family's bottom line, but Nangong Shou knew that Lu Fan had no upper limit.
Thinking of this, Nangong Shou was also shocked: Could it be that Lu Fan would really throw money around for a piece of land, regardless of the return on investment?
Nangong Shou was really wrong.
Lu Fan, Jiang Manyue, and Lu's third uncle had already discussed this situation before they arrived.
The plots of land vary in size, but for investment purposes, the area is sufficient.
The only concern is that several bidders might compete for the auction.
However, Lu Fan bypassed the Jiang Group and bid under the name of Fanyue Real Estate Company.
If we exclude the Jiang Group, that massive money-eating machine, and focus solely on Fan Yue Real Estate, the investment amount can be reduced even further after bidding.
Although Fanyue Real Estate is a newly established small company, it possesses enormous capital that other small companies and enterprises cannot match due to Lu Fan's presence.
So they can raise their bids higher than all other bidders, but their ROI still looks good enough.
In contrast, even if Nangong Shou and other large companies and enterprises could come up with this money, they would have very little room for profit.
Lu Fan had thought of this.
But Nangong Shou and his group might not have the guts to take a gamble with him.
"One billion ten million!"
Uncle Lu raised his sign, smiled slightly at the crowd, and expressed his support for Fanyue Real Estate Company and Lu Fan's determination to take the stage.
This price isn't too high; in fact, it's something that several large companies could grit their teeth and follow.
However, these people still understand that they are just a group of high-level employees, and they will not risk their future to go head-to-head with Lu Fan's funds.
Only Nangong Shou was lifted up.
He represents the Nangong family, and the Nangong family's intention is to embarrass Lu Fan.
Nangong Shou's expression darkened slightly:
"One billion twenty million!"
Who knew that after he announced his bid, Uncle Lu quickly raised his paddle again.
After more than a dozen rounds of bidding, the price of this plot of land has approached the highest bid limit previously set by the family for Nangong Shoulai.
Nangong Shou was in a state of utter confusion, but he kept raising his number plate like a robot.
Until his hand was stopped by someone next to him:
"That's enough!"
Nangong Shou, already blinded by rage, said without turning his head, "Enough? You think I don't know that!"
Unfortunately, before he could shake off the hand of the person who had stopped him, he suddenly came to his senses.
Nangong Shou looked in surprise at Nangong Qun, who was grabbing his arm to prevent him from raising his number plate:
"Brother? What brings you here? Did the family send you?"
Nangong Qun shook his head, then nodded towards Lu Fan.
Lu Fan did not expect that Nangong Qun would appear at the last moment of the bidding and stop Nangong Shou from raising the price out of spite.
Regardless, Lu Fan accepted Nangong Qun's kind offer.
The two sides stood a distance apart and exchanged only a slight nod as a greeting.
Lu Fan lost interest in the rest of the auction.
The other businessmen who failed to win the bid for suitable land breathed a sigh of relief.
Uncle Lu is going to handle the necessary procedures after the auction.
Lu Fan then led Jiang Manyue towards the Nangong brothers. Nangong Shou now viewed Lu Fan as if he were his father's killer, and even his usually respectful fourth brother, Nangong Qun, was no longer friendly.
"Fourth Brother, so you're saying you ran away from home without your family's knowledge?"
"I was instructed by my family to stop Lu Fan's bidding and get the land today."
Do you know how much direct economic loss your family will suffer by blocking us like this?
Nangong Qun turned and gave his cousin, who always clung to him, a cold look. His eyes held no trace of their former affection, only ruthlessness.
"I thought you were at least a bit smarter than the rest of the family, after all, you didn't receive much education or favors from your family growing up! I didn't expect you to be such a fool who can only act as a mouthpiece."
Nangong Shou naturally knew that his cousin had been implicated by Lu Fan because of Huang Lao and the family's affairs.
As a result, his temperament became somewhat eccentric.
But I never expected that when I saw my cousin again after only a few months, his temper would have changed so much!
This truly surprised Nangong Shou, leaving him speechless.
Just then, Lu Fan arrived with Jiang Manyue and overheard the conversation.
Lu Fan smiled at Nangong Shou and then gestured for Nangong Qun to come out with him.
