Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2304: Chapter 1748: Birth of the Land King

Originally, everyone in the auction hall thought the auction was about to be finalized, and that the best piece of land would fall into the hands of Jia Chengshan and his associates.

The people present already began whispering to each other.

”I just knew that if anyone could take that piece of land, it would have to be Jia Chengshan and his group. Didn’t you see their seven companies coming together for this? Seven companies uniting, such a formidable formation! Tsk, tsk...”

”Yes, I think so too. There are plenty of big enterprises here, but they’re the only ones teaming up like that. It seems their funds are indeed abundant!”

”Some mogul in the circle previously estimated that their final bid for that piece of land would about reach this amount, which is already a ceiling price. Going higher, it might be difficult to develop.”

”At this price, it already qualifies to be this year’s ’Land King’, right?”

...

The people were chatting excitedly.

Just as the auction was nearing its end, unexpectedly, someone placed another bid at the last moment.

When the bidding information started scrolling on the big screen, someone with sharp eyes saw it at a glance, confirming it with a sudden exclamation, ”Oh my! Someone just placed another bid!”

This shout immediately shocked everyone present.

Many people raised their eyes to the big screen and indeed saw the bidding information.

”Which company is this?”

”Who placed this bid?”

”Is there someone bidding even higher?!”

...

Surprised exclamations rose and stirred the entire venue.

”Number 108, who is number 108?!” someone exclaimed in surprise.

The whole room simultaneously searched around, and finally, they found the seat.

All eyes focused on Bai Xiaosheng, beside whom Dong Tianxiu sat. For a moment, Dong Tianxiu was under the spotlight.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable with everyone pointing at him, Dong Tianxiu whispered to Bai Xiaosheng, ”Next time, can you not make me hold up the paddle? I’m getting all this attention, while the person who truly deserves it is you.”

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and muttered to him, ”Come on, we’re like family. A little attention isn’t going to hurt you.”

Dong Tianxiu fell silent with extreme resignation, enduring all the ”attention.”

On Jia Chengshan’s side, they naturally knew the bidder was Bai Xiaosheng. No matter who held up the paddle among the four, Bai Xiaosheng was behind it all — that fact wouldn’t change.

Jia Chengshan’s eyes glistened with determination, Lu Tiandao looked surprised, and Zhang Qinglin frowned tightly.

The rest showed varied expressions of shock in their eyes.

The leader of Jia Chengshan’s think tank, taken aback, exclaimed, ”What, what price is he bidding now! This price is already the ceiling!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s bid had exceeded this analyst’s estimation.

At this moment, Jia Chengshan’s gaze was grim as he shouted, ”Raise the paddle!”

The one responsible for raising the paddle was so astonished that for a moment, they didn’t react.

Seeing the countdown start on the big screen, Jia Chengshan, in his haste, snatched the paddle and raised it himself.

The renewed bid information appeared on the big screen.

Another exclamation rang out, ”There’s another bid!”

All eyes swiftly focused again on Jia Chengshan.

Over there, Bai Xiaosheng expressionlessly told Dong Tianxiu, ”Raise the paddle.”

”We’re still bidding?” Dong Tianxiu was also quite shocked.

The current price had already exceeded the predictions of both media and experts. If Bai Xiaosheng persisted and Jia Chengshan’s side decided not to bid further, this piece of land would fall into their hands at an inopportune price.

”Just go ahead and raise it boldly. Unless I tell you to stop, don’t stop,” Bai Xiaosheng assured Dong Tianxiu, glancing decisively at Jia Chengshan.

Bai Xiaosheng’s perceptiveness had become exceptionally sharp, allowing him to gauge Jia Chengshan’s unacceptable price limit through micro-expressions.

He had a plan in mind.

Accepting Bai Xiaosheng’s resolve, Dong Tianxiu could only comply and raised the paddle in his hand.

”Another bid!” someone exclaimed.

All eyes turned back toward Bai Xiaosheng and his group.

This time, before more surprised voices could be heard, Jia Chengshan immediately raised his paddle again.

The two sides were undoubtedly locked in a standoff!

...

And so, Bai Xiaosheng’s side and Jia Chengshan’s side launched into a price tug-of-war. The entire audience had transitioned from gasps of surprise to complete silence, their gazes filled with disbelief.

During this time, many people were constantly sending out information on their phones.

Media personnel in the observation area couldn’t resist taking photos and compiling reports. Today’s scenes were an unexpected scoop; major media outlets hurriedly inserted independent news articles and short videos into their live broadcasts, striving to capture the headlines and heat as quickly as possible.

Dong Tianxiu’s hand jumped nervously with each paddle raise, knowing every raise meant an astronomical sum. Even as a scion of a great family, he found such extravagance and wastefulness hard to bear.

Jia Chengshan’s face turned ashen with each raise of the paddle, and beside him, Lu Tiandao, Zhang Qinglin, and the other bigwigs couldn’t help but feel their blood pressure rising.

At this point, the money they were throwing in had gone too far!

The land was valuable, but developing it at such a high price would make it difficult to profit, leading to substantial financial losses.

The members of Jia Chengshan’s think tank calculated frantically, feeling dizzy and making repeated ”miscalculations,” leaving them even questioning their expertise.

The leader of the think tank couldn’t help but repeatedly remind Jia Chengshan:

”Mr. Jia, it has now exceeded the peak price by ten percent!”

...

”Mr. Jia, it has now exceeded the peak price by twenty percent, please be cautious!”

...

”It has now exceeded thirty percent, we can’t add any more!”

This top analyst was already trembling in voice and hands.

The bidding war had escalated into a bare-knuckle fight. Jia Chengshan, having been swept up in the frenzy, was ready to risk everything.

Beside him, Lu Tiandao and Zhang Qinglin had turned pale, and as Jia Chengshan raised the paddle once more, their hands moved in unison.

One held down Jia Chengshan’s hand, while the other attempted to snatch the paddle away.

”We can’t go any higher, Mr. Jia!”

”Mr. Jia, calm down!”

The others almost wanted to join in holding Jia Chengshan down.

The auction’s premium would eventually be shared among everyone, and during this time, they had been ”competing” with Tengyun, throwing out massive amounts of capital.

The original price of this piece of land had already stretched their cash flow, and such a high premium wasn’t just costly but catastrophic!

If anyone’s financial chain was jeopardized due to this, it would be a crippling blow.

With everyone restraining him, Jia Chengshan calmed down a bit. Seeing the land’s price showing a 35 percent premium, he grew apprehensive and resolved not to bid further.

However, the current price still showed as Jia Chengshan’s, and the whole crowd, filled with anticipation and bright eyes, watched Bai Xiaosheng’s side for a new high.

In the end, there was no movement from Bai Xiaosheng’s side.

They didn’t intend to bid any further!

Bai Xiaosheng had taken the paddle from Dong Tianxiu with a smile, gently setting it down on the table.

It was time to stop.

The hall was exceptionally quiet, almost silent enough to hear a pin drop.

The audience’s necks grew sore from watching, yet Bai Xiaosheng’s side remained utterly still.

Time ticked by until the countdown on the big screen ended.

With the sound of a prompt, the deal was struck.

Jia Chengshan and his group secured the land with a 35% price premium at the peak price.

The ”Land King” was born!
