Bidder No. 74 was a project manager in the construction department of Monster Industries.
His name was Jiang Xiaoze, 26 years old. After graduating from the Civil Engineering College, he had been working in a supervision company. Monster Industries was building a building. Jiang Xiaoze was assigned to be in charge of the project there. Then he jumped to Monster Industries.
When the auctioneer, a government worker, called out the second piece of land.
Jiang Xiaoze felt a little nervous for no reason. At the same time, he felt an indescribable excitement.
It had begun, although their goal was not this piece of land.
Each bid was at least 500,000 yuan. Not long after the second piece of land was called out, a girl sitting next to a foreigner raised her paddle. It seemed that everyone had their own goals and had a tacit understanding with each other. After the girl raised her paddle, no one else continued to bid.
After three calls, no one bid. The auctioneer was a little disappointed and knocked the hammer.
"The next piece of land is the fifth piece of land. It has an area of 13 acres. The starting price is 25 million yuan."
Unlike the second piece of land, the fifth piece of land was called out. A German immediately raised his paddle and called out 27 million in English.
"30 million." A representative of an American car company in the front row turned around and smiled.
"32 million."
"35 million."
"I'll pay 40 million."
"F * ck, do they get all their money from the river?" Jiang Xiaoze, who represented Monster Industries, listened to the rising price and couldn't believe it. "The fifth piece of land is worth at most 30 million yuan. There are a few pieces of land below that are in good locations. Why are they eyeing the fifth piece of land?"
"Maybe it's because the fifth piece of land is close to the exhibition hall," the employee with him said uncertainly.
After six rounds of auction, all the pieces of land were sold. The auctioneer also showed a smile on his face.
Finally, it was the last piece of land. Everyone at the scene couldn't help but sit up straight. The bidding paddles in their hands were ready to move.
The last piece of land was the first piece of land, covering an area of 30 acres. At the same time, it was the best piece of land among all the pieces of land.
Tan Jiawan was located on the bank of Tianjiang River. On the left was the bridge across Tianjiang River. On the opposite side was the bustling Jiulong Slope. The first piece of land was located at the end of the central axis of Car City. That was to say, whoever bought the first piece of land and built the building would see a building in front of the road as soon as they entered the grand gate of Car City.
Ba Yu City was mountainous, and many residential buildings and commercial streets were built on the mountains. Tan Jiawan's International Auto City was also built on a mountain, and the first plot of land was the best and most eye-catching in terms of feng shui, layout, and location.
Usually, a large international car city like this would have a representative building, or core building.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the first plot of land was located at the end of the central axis and had the largest area. The land must be filled up and the buildings must be stacked high. The first plot of land was where the core building was located. It was like a general standing there, commanding his subordinates.
Therefore, the first plot of land was placed last, and the starting price was also the highest, 50 million.
"Interested parties, please bid!
Jiang Xiaoze took a deep breath and told himself to calm down. Then, he immediately raised his card. "51 million."
"60 million." "63 million." "70 million."
Something unexpected happened. Jiang Xiaoze was the first to raise his card and add one million. Before he could catch his breath, the bidders in the first few rows immediately raised their cards like a teacher in a public class, and the students below enthusiastically raised their hands to answer questions. One after another, the price of the first plot of land was quickly raised to more than 100 million.
This price had already exceeded the estimated value of the plot of land, but at this time, no one seemed to care about this.
"Add two million." Jiang Xiaoze bid again.
His bid was quickly suppressed again, and finally rose to 150 million before the bidding gradually stabilized. Several bidders had already helplessly shook their heads, and it seemed that they were going to give up.
Jiang Xiaoze raised the price by two million again. This time, when the auctioneer asked a second time if anyone wanted to raise the price. Sitting in the second row, the vice president of Stuttgart's Automobile Union asked his assistant to raise his card.
"180 million."
Jiang Xiaoze's head exploded. What did this old guy want to do? Raise the price by 28 million at once?
There was no possibility of a malicious bid here. The land would be bought for as much as it was bid. Jiang Xiaoze couldn't figure out why the other party was doing this, but Monster Industries was also determined to win this plot of land.
Jiang Xiaoze raised the price by two million again, but the vice president, Briggenshaw, seemed to deliberately show off his wealth in front of him and directly raised the price to 200 million.
"Add two million." Jiang Xiaoze calmed down. Although he could raise the price to 300 million and let the other party back off, it was the company's money. Every time he raised the price a little, he could help the company save more money.
"220 million." This time, Briggenshaw personally raised his card, and at the same time, there was a burst of discussion in the venue.
This increase was ten times the other party's. It was obvious that Briggenshaw was determined to win.
Jiang Xiaoze still raised the price. As time went by, the group of foreigners looked at him with incredulous eyes.
When the price was raised to 260 million, Briggenshaw's forehead was sweating, and the foreigners around him were the same. It seemed that they had reached their limit.
"Mr. Birnhouse!" cried Briganshaw in a low voice, as if for help, to the American representative next door.
"Oh no, hurry up and call Manager Wu and ask him to consult Mr. Ye." Jiang Xiaoze saw that the leaders of Germany and the United States were talking in secret and hurriedly signaled his colleague to make a call.
When the auctioneer urged a second time, Jiang Xiaoze raised the price again. The secret meeting was not over yet, and they were also using a delaying strategy. When the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, they raised the price by two million.
But this delay could only extend the time for a few seconds. Jiang Xiaoze's side was obviously not as convenient as the other party. When it was Briggenshaw's turn to raise the price again, the other party had already finished the secret meeting and directly raised the price to 300 million.
Jiang Xiaoze gritted his teeth and raised the price by two million. This price fluctuation should not be a problem. At the same time, the phone was connected. Manager Wu of the Ministry of Construction directly used another phone to call Mr. Ye's cell phone.
"God, are they crazy?" Brigenshaw's side was having a hard time. They wanted to show their determination to win the auction by jumping the price. But the other party was like a sticky candy, raising the price by two million every time.
"320 million!" Briggenshaw's face gradually changed into a crazy expression. Now it was no longer a matter of whether they lost money or not. But they wanted to show their determination to not let Hua Xia's domestic brands enter Motor City.
"Stall for time, I'm making a call here." The manager of the Ministry of Construction, Wu Xiaofan, did not expect that the other party would raise the price to 320 million. This was completely crazy.
But after Manager Wu dialed the phone, it was busy.
"320 million."
"Going once."
The auctioneer's voice was trembling. The price of the first piece of land had exceeded the sum of all the previous pieces of land. This was definitely an unexpected gain like winning the lottery.
Briggenshaw wanted to rush to the stage and grab the auctioneer's hammer. He was really afraid of the voice of two million.
"Manager Wu, do you want to raise the price?" Jiang Xiaoze did not dare to make a decision. In fact, he thought that the price of more than 300 million was already at a level where he did not need to consider. With this amount of money, they could even build an energy service center in a better place in Ba Yu City.
"Going twice." The auctioneer's voice was louder.
Manager Wu also could not make up his mind. 320 million was beyond the scope of his decision.
"Beep ~ Beep ~ Beep ~" Just when several people thought that the president's call would be automatically disconnected, Ye Qing's voice finally came.
"Manager Wu, what's the matter?"
"Not good, Mr. Ye, the other party has outbid …" Manager Wu shouted with a machine gun speed.
"Going thrice!"
"Clang!" Over there, the auctioneer slammed the hammer.
"…"
"Mr. Ye, we lost the piece of land in Bayu City."
