Miao Wentang's lips squirmed as he secretly sighed inside. Then, he pulled Tan Xiu's sleeve and whispered, "Tang … Tan Xiu, this auction is not a joke! If you don't have enough money and lie about the price, not only will you get a huge compensation, but you'll also get a heavy blow from the auction house. The organizer of this Bauhinia Auction, the big shot behind the scenes, has a very terrifying strength. "
Tan Xiu glanced at the short message displayed on his mobile screen. The corner of his mouth curved into an arc as he lightly smiled and said, "Don't do porcelain work if you don't have a diamond. Don't worry about it! "
Miao Wentang opened his mouth and finally gave up.
He felt that Tan Xiu couldn't afford that much money. Even if Tan Xiu was very powerful, he was still too young. Even if his family was rich, it was impossible for him to mobilize too much money.
In the front row.
The smile and complacency on the fat middle-aged man's face froze in a flash. He turned his head with difficulty and directly jumped from his chair when he saw Tan Xiu, shouting, "Nonsense! He's deliberately making trouble! I don't believe he can afford 2.5 billion to buy an island! "
His words were approved by the majority of the people in the auction venue, and the sound of discussion resounded again.
"Yeah! How old is he? He hasn't even grown his hair yet, right? How could he afford 2.5 billion to buy an island? This auction is not a joke. Doesn't he know the consequences of lying about the price? "
"Young people nowadays! They're really unreliable. Buying Nine Dragons Island isn't for 250,000, nor 2.5 million! That's 2.5 billion! There are so many people here, and I'm afraid four-fifths of their personal assets won't even reach this amount. "
"Did this brat's head get kicked by a donkey? That fat man snatched the millennium-old ginseng from his hand before, yet he actually harbors a grudge and deliberately raised the price now. Can't he see that the fat man has reached his limit and can't increase the price anymore? "
"What a stupid guy! I really don't know what he's thinking! He's actually playing such a big joke for the sake of fighting back. If that fat man doesn't increase the price anymore, he'll probably be in a difficult position. "
"Idiot …"
"…"
Tan Xiu's hearing was sharp, and he could clearly hear the discussions around him. However, he did not explain, but the smile on his face slowly faded.
At this moment, the auctioneer Xiao Ai's heart was filled with worry. She knew that if Tan Xiu obtained the right to purchase Nine Dragons Island in the end, but he couldn't come up with that much money, the auction would be considered a failure. Not only would she not receive any commission, but her status in the auction would also plummet.
But!
She was also aware of one thing. During the auction, she had no right to inquire about the amount of funds Tan Xiu had.
What to do?
The auctioneer, Xiao Ai, looked at the fat middle-aged man with a headache and then looked at Tan Xiu.
The fat middle-aged man glared at Tan Xiu and shouted again, "Auctioneer, I suggest that brat show his proof of funds. Otherwise, not only will your auction house's reputation be tarnished, but it will also disappoint the guests who come to your auction house. "
The auctioneer shot a deep look at Tan Xiu and finally helplessly said to the fat middle-aged man, "I'm really sorry, Sir. I don't have the right to do that."
Tan Xiu didn't even look at the fat middle-aged man and instead spoke to the auctioneer, "I'd like to ask you something. Someone caused trouble in the auction. What measures will your auction house take? For example, a certain fat man who can't afford to lose and is desperate to do something. "
"You're courting death, brat!"
The fat middle-aged man was burning with anger as he glared at Tan Xiu and roared.
The auctioneer, Xiao Ai, cursed inwardly. She quickly stepped forward a few steps and said aloud, "Sir, regardless of whether he can afford it or not, he has already bid and our auction house will trade with him. Also, since he has bid, the rest is between our auction house and him. You have no right to interfere. Please sit down, we'll continue the auction. I'd like to ask if you still want to increase the price? "
"..."
The fat middle-aged man's face turned red. He was full of anger but had nowhere to vent it. Although he had a bit of background and strength, he didn't dare to go against this auction house. With no other choice, he could only swallow his anger and sit in silence.
The auctioneer, Xiao Ai, felt relieved inwardly. She was a bit disappointed to see that the fat middle-aged man didn't bid again, but she still said, "The current bidding price of Nine Dragons Island is 2.5 billion. Is there a higher price? If not, this Nine Dragons Island will belong to that handsome gentleman later. "
No one spoke.
All eyes were on Tan Xiu, waiting for the result.
"I hereby announce that the owner of Nine Dragons Island is this handsome gentleman. Please take your ID and follow me to the backstage to handle the transaction procedures. "The auctioneer, Xiao Ai, stared fixedly at Tan Xiu and spoke with a face full of expectation.
Tan Xiu got up and walked toward the backstage of the auction venue.
The fat middle-aged man also abruptly got up. He glared at Tan Xiu with resentment and shouted, "Hey guys, don't go yet. Let's go and have a look! I wanna see if a brat who hasn't even grown his hair can take out 2.5 billion. "
"Yeah! Let's go and have a look. "
"Alright! Let's see the result! "
"Alright. Let's go!"
No one chose to leave and instead swarmed toward the backstage. They wanted to know if Tan Xiu could take out so much money. If he could, they also wanted to witness this sky-high transaction.
Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen smiled wryly as they followed the crowd toward the backstage. If it was 1.8 billion, the two of them could pool the money and help Tan Xiu pay in advance. But it was a huge sum of 2.5 billion. It would be very difficult for the two of them to take out such a huge sum.
At the backstage of the auction venue.
The Steward already knew the cause and effect of the matter. His eyes swept over the crowd and finally landed on Tan Xiu. He then said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Tang."
"En!"
Tan Xiu nodded. He handed over his bank card and said, "Alright.
Transfer the money! "
The Steward took the bank card and called his assistants to quickly handle the transfer. After 2.5 billion was transferred, he immediately asked his assistants to help Tan Xiu with the transaction procedures, filling in the purchase contract, and other matters.
"Really … can he really afford it?"
The fat middle-aged man was dumbfounded. Those people who previously ridiculed Tan Xiu in private were also dumbfounded. They stared blankly at Tan Xiu as he quickly handled the various procedures under the guidance of the staff. They looked at each other in dismay as an awkward expression appeared on their faces.
What was slapping the face?
Tonight's auction was slapping the face.
The fat middle-aged man was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to drill into. Those people also felt as if a pair of invisible palms were ruthlessly slapping their faces. Even Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen were secretly flabbergasted and endlessly ashamed.
The Chinese Redbud Auction came to a successful end.
After Tan Xiu had handled the various procedures, a large number of guests came to greet him. These people's status and background in the country were very strong. Even if Tan Xiu's EQ was very poor, he still didn't want to easily offend them. After reluctantly dealing with them, he immediately left with Miao Wentang, Shao Mingzhen, and Dao Master Ziyi.
Half an hour later …
In the presidential suite on the top floor of the Jarvis Hotel, Tan Xiu returned the 80 million yuan he borrowed from Jia Ruidao. He also called Chen Zhizhong's bank account and transferred the remaining 500 million yuan to him. Therefore, Tan Xiu's account still had 90 million yuan left.
"2.5 billion yuan in debt!"
After dealing with these matters, Tan Xiu couldn't help but smack his lips.
As the saying goes: lice are not afraid of being bitten, debts are not enough to worry about.
But this sentence was very inappropriate for Tan Xiu. He was a person who could clearly distinguish between kindness and grudges, as well as public and private affairs. Although Chen Zhizhong was his registered disciple, personal affection didn't mean that they shared private property. That money also didn't mean that Chen Zhizhong was filial to him.
"I must speed up the speed of making money."
Tan Xiu went to the window and looked at the starry night sky. His mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts. After a long time, he remembered something. He left the suite and knocked on the door of the presidential suite next door.
In the next suite.
Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen didn't directly go to rest. They were in the brightly lit living room, smoking and chatting.
"Brother Shao, I'm very interested in Tan Xiu's identity now. But the more I investigate, the more mysterious he is. Mysterious to an unbelievable degree. "Miao Wentang puffed out a smoke ring and faintly said.
Shao Mingzhen forced a smile and said, "You're not the only one who has this feeling. I also feel the same. According to the information I got, Tan Xiu comes from an ordinary family. He belongs to a single-parent family, and he doesn't have any big background. What I can't believe the most is that he had a car accident, causing him to be muddle-headed for a year. According to the investigation information, he was like a fool that year. But how can a fool do such sensational things? "
Miao Wentang nodded and said, "His life background is as simple as a piece of white paper. Even if some color has been added recently, it's only recently that he has some relationship with the Long Family in Star City. What I want to know the most is his Master's background. But according to the investigation information, there are no clues at all. "
Shao Mingzhen nodded and sighed, "Yes! He also wants to know who his Master is! He wanted to know which terrifying big shot was able to train such a powerful young talent. And tonight, he had spent a total of 2.56 billion. This amount is a huge sum of money for us, but he can easily get it. I'm also very curious about the source of this money. "
Miao Wentang's expression moved as he asked, "How about I ask someone to check it? I should be able to find the source of the money. "
Shao Mingzhen shook his head seriously, "Don't. For Tan Xiu to be able to get so much money, it shows that there's definitely a powerful figure behind him that we don't know. In case we send someone to investigate him, I'm afraid he'll be very angry. I'm afraid the little friendship we have with him will be broken. "
"Alas! It's true. "
Miao Wentang sighed helplessly.
Shao Mingzhen slowly said, "Let's not delve into the matter of Tan Xiu's identity. The most important thing now is that we're clear about one thing: the advantages of having a good relationship with him outweigh the disadvantages. Tomorrow's trip to the Evil Dragon Sea Area will be a good opportunity for us to fight side by side. We must seize this opportunity. "
"It's also a good opportunity to get rich."
Miao Wentang grinned upon hearing it.
