Chapter 403: The Auction Begins
Jian Ai’s goal in coming here was also very clear. Since they were businesses left behind by a famous company, the system would be at most complete. If there was a suitable one to take over, it might directly bring profits.
In just a few months, Jian Ai had established East Sea Real Estate and Rose Entertainment. And they could also consider Shuiyun Club as an unexpected gain.
However, apart from the money she won in Macau, East Sea Real Estate and Rose Entertainment were both in the early stages of investment. The only thing that could bring profits to the company now was Shuiyun Club.
This was far from enough for M Group’s development, so Jian Ai planned to expand her business and suspend investment in development projects. Instead, she needed businesses that could bring in profits now.
“Xiao Ai!”
As soon as she got out of the car, someone called Jian Ai.
She paused and looked up. It was Chen Lei!
“Uncle Chen!” Jian Ai smiled and greeted him. “I didn’t expect you to be here too.”
Chen Lei had two secretaries with him. When he heard that, he couldn’t help but smile and nod. “I’m here to try my luck. If there’s any business that I’m interested in, I’ll take it down.”
“Me too!” Jian Ai smiled.
They chatted casually as they walked in, but then they b.u.mped into Jian Changsheng talking and laughing with his friends at the door.
“Chairman Jian!”
When Chen Lei saw Jian Changsheng, he smiled and greeted him.
Although the two companies were enemies, they were usually friendly when they met.
“Boss Chen!” Jian Changsheng was the same. As he spoke, he saw Jian Ai beside Chen Lei.
Jian Changsheng looked away and said nothing to Jian Ai.
Jian Ai didn’t care. Instead, she was happy and relaxed. Perhaps because Jian Yiyi gave her a preconceived impression, she didn’t have a good impression of Jian Yiyi’s father either. Although the two of them said nothing to each other before, Jian Ai believed in her intuition. For some reason, she didn’t like Jian Changsheng.
Compared to Chen Lei, he was far inferior.
“Uncle Chen, Bai Zhou and I will go in first. It’s hot here outside,” Jian Ai said to Chen Lei.
Chen Lei smiled and nodded. Jian Ai left him to talk to Jian Changsheng while she brought Bai Zhou into the venue.
Just like the last time, Jian Ai and Bai Zhou only found a corner seat and sat down. There were more people at this auction than at the previous land auction, which meant that there would be a fierce compet.i.tion between all of them.
Half an hour later, the auction officially started.
The first business to be auctioned was an American-style restaurant near Baiyun Square in Haicheng District. The location was excellent, and it was still open for business. Once taken over, it could bring in money immediately.
However, Jian Ai had no intention of entering the food and beverage industry, at least for now. As such, she didn’t raise her bid.
After that, there was a huge supermarket. Jian Ai was still indifferent.
The third auction was a high-end entertainment club in Wanbao District.
The commentator’s voice sounded. “Next up, we’ll be auctioning off Venus Entertainment Club in Wanbao District. This club is next to Wanbao District’s landmark, Century Long Corridor. It’s a famous high-end leisure club in Baiyun City. It’s a gathering place for upper-cla.s.s celebrities. The club has many forms, and the customer flow is stable. The profits are considerable. It’s a rare business.”
“The starting price is four million yuan and the increase per bid is five hundred thousand yuan. Bidding begins now!”
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, everyone started bidding, one after another. It was obvious that this kind of business was the most valuable.
