Chapter 1501: Hacked
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Eagle Eye Group had never had a direct confrontation with the s.h.i.+ family ever since they existed. This was the first time Liao Chuan had spoken back at someone from the s.h.i.+ family like this.
Nangong Yun sneered as well. “This is them being shameless, right? He claimed that there was a problem with the bidding just because he didn’t win the bid. Chairman s.h.i.+, Nuannuan’s bid this time is a million bucks more than yours. Even if she offered a single buck more, she would still win the bid.”
“If the bid is invalid just because your s.h.i.+ family did not win this bid, then I think I should boycott any auction that the s.h.i.+ family wants to bid on in the future. After all, according to Chairman s.h.i.+, the s.h.i.+ family should win whatever bid they have their eyes on. Otherwise, someone must have done something in the back for the bid, and we have to start all over again. What’s the point of coming to this auction then? Why don’t you just get the executive hall to wrap a bow on this land and give it to you directly?!” Shengyang Group’s CEO also spoke sarcastically.
Among the six first-tier wealthy ent.i.ties—the Nangong family, Shengyang Group, and Eagle Eye Group—all expressed their dissatisfaction. Therefore, it was difficult for the experts and staff from the bidding company to continue siding with the s.h.i.+ family.
The auctioneer could only announce, “The bidding process this time was carried out in accordance with the procedures, and the result of the bid is legitimate. If Fortune Group has any objections to this auction, you can file a lawsuit against the court. However, today’s bidding will still go according to our previous rules. The highest bidder wins. Miss Nangong’s bidding price is exactly 20% of the allowed floating price, and it does not exceed the bid price. According to the rule of the highest bidder wins, this S-D Land belongs to Miss Nangong.”
As s.h.i.+ Maode listened to the expert’s evaluation, he knew that he had lost the upper hand. He was so angry that his blood continued to boil. There was darkness surrounding his eyes, and his chest started to hurt.
After s.h.i.+ Maode finally managed to stabilize himself, he thought that he could no longer continue talking to Nangong Nuannuan. He snorted and left.
On the way home, Nangong Yun could not help but ask, “Nuannuan, how did you know that there was something suspicious about this land plot here?”
After all, the starting price of 31.8 billion was already very high. It was already very risky to be able to bid for more than 10% that was allowed within the floating price. He believed that even if Nuannuan had a lot of money, she was definitely not a fool. To be able to bid for that price, she must have known beforehand that there was something suspicious going on.
Nangong Nuannuan giggled like a little fox. After all, this piece of land was extraordinarily big. In the future, she would earn a lot more than that, so she was in a very good mood.
“Actually, when I heard that the starting price was at 31.8 billion, I agreed that it was exorbitant too. However, when everyone was surprised to hear the starting price, s.h.i.+ Maode was the only one who did not look surprised. He even looked like he was determined to win, so I hacked into his computer and saw their encrypted proposal.”
As Nuannuan spoke, her fingers fiddled with her notebook. Soon, a proposal with “encrypted” written on it appeared in front of Nangong Yun.
“The proposal introduced the projects that the Urban Development Department will focus on in the next five years, and one of them is the South City Economic Development Zone. The venue where we had the auction just now won’t only become an area that will be heavily developed, but the executive hall will also relocate there soon. In other words, that place will become another regional center. If it picks up, the property prices there will be at least twice as high. I also saw their bidding price.. Originally, they were prepared to bid the highest possible price, but since they expected no other companies would bid at such a high price, they decided to offer 60 million less to save on costs in the end.”
