"I'm the buyer who's bidding! I'm Wang Zhixin, Director of the Auction Office under the Hong Kong Finance Department. The starting price for this auction is HK$10 million. Each bid must be no less than HK$1 million. After three consecutive bids, if no one else bids, the deal will be considered done."
"The auction will be notarized by the Hong Kong Department of Justice, and the proceeds will be used to repay the citizens who purchased Xie Liyuan's gold."
"Now we will officially start the auction, the starting price is 10 million Hong Kong dollars."
As soon as Wang Zhixin finished speaking, he took the wooden hammer and smashed it hard at the auction base.
"15 million Hong Kong dollars!"
“20 million Hong Kong dollars!”
“24 million Hong Kong dollars!”
“....................”
"40 million Hong Kong dollars!" Number One Zheng Jiacheng couldn't bear it anymore and shouted out first. His momentum was so shocking that he scared away a large number of people in an instant.
"45 million Hong Kong dollars!" The representative of Chow Sang Sang Jewelry Shop No. 8 immediately counterattacked.
"48 million Hong Kong dollars!" The representative of No. 10 Tse Sui Luen Jewelry was not to be outdone.
“.................”
"Brother Xuan! When do we bid?" Guan Jiahui's palms were sweating. Seeing Mo Zhexuan's calm face, she asked hurriedly.
"Don't panic! It's not too late to make a move at the last minute." After Mo Zhexuan was about to take over the Jinliyuan Gold Shop, he asked a specialized agency to estimate the price. According to the current situation of Hong Kong's real estate, it would be around 60 million Hong Kong dollars.
"The number one buyer has now offered HK$62 million! Is there anyone else who would like to bid?" Wang Zhixin asked nervously. This price has already exceeded the reserve price, but he still hopes to sell it at a high price.
"62 million Hong Kong dollars for the second time!"
"HK$62 million..."
Just as Zheng Jiacheng looked at Mo Zhexuan with a provocative look on his face, Mo Zhexuan raised the number 15 sign in his hand and said calmly:
"70 million Hong Kong dollars!"
This voice instantly attracted the attention of all the auctioneers in the venue. Everyone was envious of the young man who was bidding. You know, he had received 750 million Hong Kong dollars from Wang Yaoting and his son!
"HKD 71 million!" Zheng Jiacheng was extremely angry, and then raised the number one card in his hand again.
"72 million Hong Kong dollars!"
"75 million Hong Kong dollars!"
When the price reached this number, Zheng Yutong snatched the sign from Zheng Jiacheng's hand, then turned to Mo Zhexuan and said calmly:
"Xiaoxuan! Xie Liyuan Gold Shop is completely useless in your hands. Your main business should be finance. If you insist on doing this, we will both end up in a bloody fight. So, if you take a step back, I'll consider it a favor to you. If you don't back down, I'll name a price, and if you meet it, I'll give it to you."
"Uncle Zheng's favor is worth a thousand gold to me, but I'm determined to get Xie Liyuan's Gold Shop today, so Uncle Zheng, just name your price!"
Mo Zhexuan knew that his current strength was like hitting a rock with an egg when competing with the four major families, and he didn't want to make enemies with the other party now. However, in the face of huge interests, the other party's persuasion was nothing, and he had to fight when it was time to fight.
"78 million Hong Kong dollars!" Zheng Yutong had been in the business world for so many years, but this was the first time he was insulted by a junior, and he couldn't help but get angry.
"80 million Hong Kong dollars!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the auctioneers looked towards Mo Zhexuan. Some of them felt sorry for Mo Zhexuan for offending Zheng Yutong just for a gold shop, while others admired Mo Zhexuan's courage very much. After all, this was the "Shark-Courage Tong" known to everyone in Hong Kong.
"Xiaoxuan! Uncle Zheng, I keep my word and give it to you. Now let me see your skills with gold jewelry!" Zheng Yutong had a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with coldness.
"Boy! Just wait for me! I will make sure that your Xie Liyuan gold business will not be able to continue." Compared with Zheng Yutong's tactfulness, Zheng Jiacheng was more unscrupulous, so he pointed it out directly.
"I've long heard that Uncle Zheng is unrivaled in gold products. He defied all odds and pioneered the Four-Stroke Nine-Fidelity Gold. To secure a diamond license, he even took a different approach, acquiring a South African company and securing over ten De Beers rough diamond licenses. These feats have left me in awe. It's my honor to compete with you in the gold product market."
Mo Zhexuan laughed heartily, like a sword drawn from its sheath, with an unmatched aura that made people dare not look him in the eye.
"Okay! I'll let you see it." Zheng Yutong was humiliated today. Now that things had come to this, he could only fight to the death. Then he left the scene with his son.
At this time, everyone realized that the hammer had not been struck yet, and they all looked towards the host Wang Zhixin.
"HK$80 million twice!"
"80 million Hong Kong dollars three times! Deal!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Mo Zhexuan for acquiring Xie Liyuan Gold Shop for HK$80 million!"
Afterwards, other gold shop owners at the auction came to congratulate him, but most of them were insincere and just wanted to find out about Mo Zhexuan's true strength.
The auction officially ended, and Mo Zhexuan's 3.66 tons of gold finally found a place to launder.
