The farce was over, and the auction was finally about to officially begin.
After the host went on stage and said some meaningless words, he went straight to the point and began the auction.
Map after map of the land was enlarged on the big screen and then bought by one interested buyer after another. The few people that Mu Yunke had recognized earlier had also bought the land as he had predicted. Not long after, after this piece of land was auctioned off, the first piece of land that the Mu Corporation liked finally appeared.
This piece of land was located in the western part of the city and was once the focus of the renovation of the old buildings in Hailan City. The houses in that area were more than 50 years old. They could simply be called antiques. Every year, there would be rumors of demolition, but it never happened. Unknowingly, a generation of people had passed away. Now, this piece of land was finally put up for auction. This was not only good news for the real estate developers, but also good news for the residents who were waiting for the demolition.
According to the official plan, this area would be built into a large-scale modern residential area in the future, and it would become the main service target of several neighboring commercial districts. Therefore, the future housing prices would definitely not be low.
"This piece of land has a total area of 88,000 square meters. The starting price is 1.2 billion yuan.”
Tsk, the starting price was already 13,000 yuan per square meter. It seemed that when the residential buildings here were built in the future, the price would not be lower than 40,000 yuan.
Mu Yunke made a rough estimate and roughly calculated the highest price he could afford. He immediately raised his card."1.25 billion!"
Before Mu Yunke could put down the sign, a new price was called out from the other side."1.3 billion!"
Mu Yunke frowned slightly and looked at the person who raised the sign. He saw Ye Fan putting down his sign and looking at him provocatively.
Mu Yunke smiled faintly but did not take Ye Fan's provocation to heart.
The auction house kept raising the price of the land, and it didn't take long for the price to reach 1.53 billion.
During this period, Ye Fan did not raise his card again.
Seeing that the frequency of the placards being raised was getting slower and slower, Mu Yunke almost understood the limits of each family. He raised his placards again."1.57 billion!"
As soon as Mu Yunke finished speaking, Ye Fan raised his sign."1.6 billion!"
Mu Yunke narrowed his eyes slightly. The price of 1.6 billion was already close to the limit of the value of this land. If it was auctioned any higher, the profit would be very limited, and it was even possible to lose money. In recent years, the property market had not been booming, so real estate development companies had become cautious in auctioning land, afraid that they would accidentally lose the land. Once such a situation happened, it would be a disaster for the high-debt housing enterprises.
However, after some calculations, Mu Yunke still raised his sign and said,""1.63 billion!"
Ye Fan immediately raised his placard,"1.7 billion!”
Mu Yunke sneered in his heart. 1.7 billion? There was basically no profit at this price. However, looking at Ye Fan's aggressive appearance, Mu Yunke's heart stirred. He raised his sign again."1.8 billion!"
Ye Fan did not hesitate and followed him again.""2 billion!"
Even though almost everyone present had seen big scenes before, they could not help but be stunned when they heard the price. They all turned their gazes towards Ye Fan, and there was only one thought in their hearts:
"Where did this young man come from? So arrogant? Buying 88,000 square meters of land at a price of 2 billion yuan, are you trying to skyrocket?”
Ye Fan enjoyed everyone's gazes. The feeling of being pretentious and slapping his face in the past had returned. He looked at Mu Yunke provocatively again, but he saw Mu Yunke put the sign on the table and crossed his arms over his chest, looking like he didn't want to follow him anymore.
Ye Fan was first stunned when he saw this scene. Soon after, his heart turned cold as he secretly cried out," Not good!"
In fact, this piece of land was not his goal for this trip. His real goal was only one, and that was the piece of land next to the port. That piece of land was 5.3 million square meters in size, and the estimated price was between 40 billion and 50 billion. If they could get this piece of land, they could build a large commercial area and amusement park next to the port. In the current housing market, building shopping malls and amusement parks was the least risky. It was very suitable for a new real estate company like Ye Fan.
However, it was precisely because of this that the funds he had on hand were very limited. Basically, it was only enough to bid for that piece of land. Lu Cun and Jiang Chen had also racked their brains to gather 48 billion yuan for him in the past three days. Many of them had been obtained by using empty promises, half-enticing and half-threatening. If he lost 2 billion yuan because of this piece of land in the city, what should he do next?
Therefore, the only thing Ye Fan could do now was to pray that someone else would bid for this piece of land at a higher price.
But…that was obviously impossible.
The price of 2 billion had far exceeded everyone's expectations. This price was a huge loss, so no one could be a sucker. In the end, under Ye Fan's expectant gaze, the auction gavel fell.
"2 billion, deal! Congratulations to Longfan Real Estate Development Company for obtaining this piece of land!”
Ye Fan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Who the hell needs your congratulations!
At this moment, he felt a little regretful. He didn't regret competing with Mu Yunke, but he regretted coming to this auction personally!
Originally, Jiang Chen or Qin Zheng should have been the one to handle this matter. However, Ye Fan requested to do it personally because he liked the atmosphere of the auction. In fact, the atmosphere he liked was nothing more than the kind where he spent a high price to buy something that others wanted and enjoyed the envy and jealousy of others. The Dragon King, who had always been keen on showing off and slapping his face, had a special liking for this.
But now, he experienced the feeling of being a sucker.
The next auction went relatively smoothly. Mu Yunke had successfully bid for the land he wanted at the price he wanted. Ye Fan, who had already been tricked by Mu Yunke, did not dare to attack again. Because he was already very short of funds. If he accidentally bid for another piece of land, he could just go home.
Not long after, the land auction finally reached its final stage. The largest and most valuable piece of land was displayed on the big screen. After the host gave a detailed introduction of the land, he said,"This piece of land in the east port of the Haigang District has a total area of 5.286 million square meters. The starting price is 38 billion! Now, please place your bids!"
Due to the high value of this piece of land, not many companies were qualified to participate in the auction. After a few rounds of bidding, the price reached 42 billion. Mu Yunke felt that it was about time and was ready to raise his sign. Who knew that before he could raise his card, Ye Fan had already raised his card and called out,"45 billion!"
Raising the price by 3 billion in one go surprised everyone. Usually, such a high bid basically conveyed a layer of meaning, which was," I have to get this thing. Don't fight with me for it." Under such circumstances, the others would have to first consider the funds in their hands and whether they should take the risk of offending the other party to bid.
But to everyone, Ye Fan was a new face, so it did not matter if they offended him or not. As the saying goes," Fierce dragons don't cross the river." Even if an unfamiliar face had a lot of connections, he had to be careful when he arrived at the local area. What they really cared about was that the funds in their hands were not enough to compete with Ye Fan. Therefore, many people put down the signs in their hands and waited for the host to announce the winner of this piece of land.
However, the current Ye Fan was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. He only had 46 billion in his hands. If someone came out to compete with him at this time, he could only bid once more.
Mu Yunke looked at Ye Fan from afar, but Ye Fan did not turn his gaze over. This guy was no longer provoking him. Instead, he was seriously bidding. No matter how one looked at it, it was not normal. Mu Yunke's mind spun for a moment and he guessed what was going on. He raised his sign and said,"45.5 billion!"
Ye Fan suddenly turned his head and stared at Mu Yunke. Mu Yunke smiled at Ye Fan, then shrugged his shoulders and put on a "helpless" look.
Ye Fan gritted his teeth in hatred, but he could only forcefully suppress his anger. He raised his placard and said loudly,"46 billion!"
Ye Fan had just put down his card when Mu Yunke lazily raised his card and said,"46.5 billion!"
At this moment, Ye Fan's hatred for Mu Yunke rose to another level.
If not for the fact that China was a country ruled by law, he would have killed Mu Yunke on the spot and let him know the consequences of going against him!
Ye Fan fiercely threw the number plate on the ground. He glared at Mu Yunke with a murderous look and left the venue in a huff. When the others saw this scene, they were both surprised and curious.
Where did this kid come from? What grudge did he have with the Mu family's eldest young master? Why did this kid look like he wanted to eat Young Master Mu alive on the spot?
After Ye Fan left the venue, he took out his phone and made a call. The call went through, and an old voice came from the phone."What's wrong, Ye brat? Did you run into some trouble again and think of your Grandpa Qi?”
Ye Fan took a deep breath and said in an ashamed tone,""I'm sorry, Grandpa Qi. I…I was intercepted by Mu Yunke at the land auction.”
"Hmm? Was it intercepted by the Mu family's kid? What's going on?" Qi Yuanshan asked.
Next, Ye Fan described the events at the auction with embellishment and finally said hatefully,"Grandpa Qi, I think that Mu Yunke is clearly coming for me! I clearly have no enmity with him, but he always wants to go against me!”
Qi Yuanshan pondered for a moment and felt that there was something wrong with the logic. However, due to his absolute trust in Ye Fan, he did not think too much about it and only comforted him,"Brat Ye, don't worry. No one can snatch what belongs to you! Just you wait, I'll think of a way to make the Mu family obediently hand over this piece of land to you!”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan could not help but reveal a classic evil smile and said proudly,"Mu Yunke, let's see how you can fight me with a silkpants like you!”
