"Everyone, please be quiet. It was an oversight on our part during the bidding process. We didn't expect that the representative sent by Dongfang Investment would be Dongfang Shuo, the eldest son of the Dongfang family head. Let's give him a round of applause!"
When the host heard what Lu Fan said, he glanced at Dongfang Shuo and still looked disdainful.
Even if Dongfang Shuo was a member of the Dongfang family, he would only be a child from a collateral branch, and no one cared.
When the host heard the mastermind behind the entire bidding process reveal Dongfang Shuo's identity through his in-ear monitor, he finally dared to believe it was real.
Then, following the boss's instructions, I quickly explained the missing ritual.
The owner of the bidding venue also wanted to build a good relationship with this future head of the Dongfang family, as he was a major client!
"No need, there's one last project to film, let's hurry up."
Dongfang Shuo hated these kinds of face-saving matters the most. He didn't want to be called the eldest son of the Dongfang family, and said to the host with some displeasure.
"Alright, now that the second-to-last project has already fetched 280 million RMB, and that project wasn't even our best bid, I'm going to introduce our grand finale project next..."
Through an in-ear monitor, the host received instructions from the boss behind the scenes to continue bidding. The boss then switched the project behind the screen to the last project, which was also the best project they had bid on in recent years.
Then he carefully introduced it to everyone.
"I'll offer 500 million RMB!"
After the host finished his introduction, Lu Fan was the first to raise his sign and address the host.
Whoosh—
Everyone gasped in shock.
This is almost twice as much as the previous project. No wonder there are rumors circulating that the Jiang Group has made a fortune.
Looking at it this way, it's clear that they do indeed possess the financial power to shake the four major families.
"Hmph, I'll offer six hundred million!"
Although everyone was surprised that Lu Fan offered 500 million, they all knew that this amount was far from enough.
Then Dongfang Shuo's voice rang out. Everyone watched with amusement, eager to see whether it would be the Dongfang family, one of the four great families, or Lu Fan, the newly emerged investment genius, who would win the bid for the project.
Who will ultimately win the project has become a major point of interest.
"Six hundred million!"
Before Dongfang Shuo could even feel happy, Lu Fan raised the sign again and said...
"Mr. Lu, what exactly are you trying to do? We don't even have enough money left for 600 million this time."
Although Liu Shang remained expressionless, he was somewhat uneasy. He turned his head to look at Lu Fan, who still appeared nonchalant, and quietly moved closer to Lu Fan to remind him.
"Young Master, I've inquired about the funds they brought this time, and they're almost exhausted."
The people from Dongfang Investment had already investigated Liu Shang's financial situation. Upon hearing the price announced by the other side, they stood behind Dongfang Shuo and the old steward and whispered their report.
Six hundred and fifty million!
Hearing that the other side didn't have much money left, Dongfang Shuo saw no need to shout any higher.
After thinking it over, he only added 50 million. After saying that, he looked at Lu Fan and the others not far away with a playful look in his eyes.
"Seven hundred and fifty million!"
Lu Fan didn't even look in Dongfang Shuo's direction. After hearing the bid, he immediately raised his own sign and shouted.
Liu Shang and Zhang He, who were sitting with Lu Fan, were also sweating profusely when they heard Lu Fan make a bid without even thinking.
Only Secretary Ge sat calmly in his chair, drinking water, though he had no idea what Lu Fan was up to.
But his intuition told him that Lu Fan must have his reasons.
"President Lu from the Jiang Group has already bid 750 million. Is there anyone else who wants to make a further bid?"
Because Lu Fan and Dongfang Shuo bid so quickly, before the host could react, another person had already made a bid. When Lu Fan bid 750 million, Dongfang Shuo's side fell silent, and only then did the host announce Lu Fan's bid.
"We seriously doubt that they have that much liquid capital; they're here to cause trouble!"
When Dongfang Shuo heard that Lu Fan had offered 100 million yuan, he felt a little embarrassed.
He, the future heir of the Dongfang family, was actually outdone on the spot.
Then his gaze turned to the person behind him who had just said Lu Fan had no money, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
The person being looked at by Dongfang Shuo felt as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast. They swallowed hard and said angrily to the host.
"Mr. Lu, the funds you previously estimated are no longer enough for 650 million. Would you like to add more?"
Hearing the doubts raised by people from Oriental Investment, the host knew that this matter was no small thing.
He quickly reported to the boss behind him through his earpiece. Unexpectedly, Lu Fan and his team didn't have enough money. The host didn't say anything too harsh, but just smiled and asked Lu Fan.
Everyone understood what the host meant: if Lu Fan could still produce the gold, they could continue playing; if he couldn't, things might not be so easy to say.
"Mr. Lu, if you don't have money, our bidding office will think you're here to cause trouble."
Seeing that Lu Fan hadn't answered, and hearing the instructions from inside the earpiece, the host's smile faded as he spoke to him.
"Since they're out of money, they have to reshoot their last project; otherwise, it's too unfair to us!"
"I expect the Jiang Group to provide a reasonable explanation for this matter; otherwise, we will consider this a provocation against the Dongfang family!"
