Chapter 75 Auction
He then changed his tone and said, "I still want it if it's given to me. If it's given to me for free, I'll accept it reluctantly."
"If you don't buy it, you will regret it." Hu Xiaoxiao told him.
"You'll regret buying it after you buy it. Is it because it's the largest piece of land and you think bigger is better, that's why you bought it?" Xie Zhiheng patiently explained to Hu Xiaoxiao, "Although this piece of land is huge, more than ten times larger than the first piece of land, its total price is much less than the first piece of land. Do you know why?
Because it's worthless! There's only one road leading here, and it's difficult to get there. How can we develop without a road? There are many residents around, but few wealthy people, no commercial buildings, and no companies willing to move in, so it's hard to attract land.
"I don't understand these." Hu Xiaoxiao said.
She didn't understand these business knowledge, but she was a fairy and was very sensitive to Feng Shui treasures, because these places were very suitable for cultivation. Naturally, it was also good for people to live in such places.
The Feng Shui treasure land in the world not only nourishes people, but also gathers wealth.
Although she has no demonic power now and her body is trapped in the sealed area and cannot leave, her soul can still sense the good and bad of the land.
"I understand, that's all. Xie's company has done research. We can't buy this land no matter how cheap it is. If we do, we'll end up with a bad situation." Xie Zhiheng saw that it was getting late and the auction was about to begin, so he called Hu Xiaoxiao and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the auction to watch the excitement and see who will be the lucky loser to buy this land."
Hu Xiaoxiao had never seen an auction house before and was very curious, so she followed Xie Zhiheng there.
At the entrance of the auction house, Manager Guo of Hongming Real Estate Company, a subsidiary of the Xie Group, walked back and forth anxiously, looking towards the gate from time to time.
He was the person responsible for assisting Xie Zhiheng in bidding for the land. As the auction time was approaching and Xie Zhiheng had not yet arrived, he was extremely anxious.
After waiting for ages, Xie Zhiheng finally showed up. Manager Guo was so anxious that he ignored his status and rushed over to pull Xie Zhiheng in. "My dear little ancestor, how can you be late at such a critical moment?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? The filming hasn't started yet, has it?" Xie Zhiheng called Hu Xiaoxiao and went into the set together.
At the auction house, the auctioneer had finished his opening remarks and self-introduction and started the auction of the first piece of land.
"The land being auctioned is in Liantangling, and the number is..."
This piece of land was the largest. After Hu Xiaoxiao sat down, he listened to the auctioneer's description of the land. It was very large. It was probably because of its remote location that it was difficult to sell. Smaller pieces were even less popular, so they were sold together as a whole.
But if they are sold in batches, the total price will not be very low.
So after the auctioneer called out the starting price, there was silence.
Hu Xiaoxiao poked Xie Zhiheng with his finger and said, "Tap it!"
Xie Zhiheng shook his head and whispered, "If it's two million, since you like it, I'll bite my teeth and buy it for you, but 200 million, forget it."
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at him with disdain, "Coward."
"How did I become a coward?" Xie Zhiheng was a little embarrassed and raised his hand to hold up the sign.
I thought to myself: I'll just raise it once, just once, and if someone raises the price later, I'll immediately give up. That way, I won't be seen as a coward in her eyes, I'll save face, and I won't lose anything. It's the best of both worlds.
Xie Zhiheng secretly praised himself for his cleverness.
"Hongming Company's 200 million! 200 million for the first time! Is there anyone else bidding higher?"
"200 million for the second time!"
Xie Zhiheng began to look around, looking for someone to take advantage of him.
In the past, every item put up for auction was eagerly sought after, and unsold items were rare. This was especially true for land transactions. Aside from a few years of unsold items during the real estate market downturn, there have been no unsold items in the past two years. Furthermore, the prices of land auctioned this year have been rising steadily.
Xie Zhiheng looked around, but couldn't see a single victim stepping forward. Instead, everyone was looking at him, looking at him as if he were being taken advantage of.
Xie Zhiheng's heart skipped a beat.
When I heard the auctioneer say, "200 million for the third time! Congratulations to Hongming Company for successfully bidding for the number..."
Beads of sweat flowed from Xie Zhiheng's forehead to his temples, then slid to his chin and fell down in beads.
Manager Guo, standing next to him, was also sweating profusely, his eyes glazed over. He'd wanted to stop them, but it was too late. Who knew Xie Zhiheng would suddenly raise his bid? The company had already held more than one meeting and had long had their eyes on the Nilongkeng land. They only needed to focus on competing with other companies for Nilongkeng.
Who knows him? How did it happen so suddenly that this little ancestor bought a piece of wasteland?
Is Xie Zhiheng mentally ill? How can he spend 200 million like this?
With 200 million less, how can they compete for the land in Nilongkeng?
They are not the only ones who have set their eyes on the land of Nilongkeng. Almost all the bidders today are here for it. It is the most valuable piece of land in the Baogang investment circle.
Hu Xiaoxiao saw Xie Zhiheng acquire the land and cast an admiring glance at him, but he saw that he was sweating profusely. He asked with concern, "It's less than 20 degrees Celsius today, and the air conditioner is on indoors. Why are you so hot?"
Xie Zhiheng belatedly wiped his sweat, which felt cold, just like his heart at the moment.
"It's over, it's over, it's over!" Xie Zhiheng muttered to himself.
Although he is a spendthrift, he is not so wasteful as to spend 200 million yuan on fun.
The company's working capital was limited. After spending 200 million yuan in one go, how would the remaining funds be used? Moreover, his main task today was to represent Hongming Company in bidding for the land in Nilongkeng.
He wasted 200 million yuan.
Even though he was his father's only son, Xie Zhiheng already felt that he was in great danger.
Xie Zhiheng was in a daze. When the land of Nilongkeng was auctioned and the price was suddenly bid up to 400 million, he felt even worse.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as this piece of land, which was a strategic necessity for the company, fell into the hands of its rival Fu'an Company.
The person in charge who came to bid on behalf of Fuan Company was Pan Yanji, who had been a sworn enemy of Xie Zhiheng since childhood.
After successfully acquiring the land, Pan Yanji saw the dazed Xie Zhiheng and walked over with a look of gloating joy. He patted Xie Zhiheng on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Xie, thank you so much! Thank you for giving up this piece of land so that our company can get it at a lower price. You are such a kind person. By the way, why did you spend 200 million to buy the land in Liantangling? Because it was big?"
It's really big enough to use for grazing cattle. Could it be that the Xie Group has started a new business, building a ranch to sell beef or milk? If so, our company will definitely help."
Being ridiculed by his mortal enemy, Xie Zhiheng immediately fought back like a conditioned reflex: "Why do you care what I do? I bought it to build a golf course and a resort, isn't that okay? I am my father's only son. Everything in the Xie family is mine, all mine. I can spend it however I like. Are you flattering me?"
