Chapter 85 Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to her, Liu Nini instantly felt increased pressure, but thankfully Hu Wen was by her side.
Otherwise, Liu Nini might not have been able to withstand the pressure, after all, it was her first time participating in an auction.
Moreover, having 100 million yuan in hand is a situation that few people can remain calm and composed about.
"Nini, don't be afraid. Just do whatever Mr. Lu says."
"Okay, Sister Wen."
All participants in the auction are required to verify their funds and pay a deposit, so no one will bid recklessly.
Liu Nini's offer of 50 million immediately enlivened the atmosphere, with everyone inquiring about her background.
"Number 9 bid 50 million, and the current bidding price is 50 million."
The host introduced the auction with a smile, without revealing any overly outrageous expressions.
After all, they are professionally trained people, and they generally don't get too excited.
"Jia Chao, what should we do?"
Liu Yan frowned and asked.
Wang Jiachao held up a sign: "Fifty-one million."
He then said to the two people beside him, "What else can we do but add more?"
"My dad asked me to bid for this land in order to open up the Chengjiang market and expand the scale of our family business, so even if the bid was a bit expensive, I can afford it."
"But others are different. Once the investment exceeds 60 million, the cost will increase, and it will be difficult to break even later."
"Unless they have a grudge against me and are deliberately trying to antagonize me, they won't add much. Asking for 50 million right away is just a way to preemptively scare away their competitors."
Liu Xian nodded: "Brother Jia Chao's analysis makes a lot of sense."
"Number 7 offered 51 million."
"Interested parties may continue to raise the price."
"Fifty-two million."
Liu Nini looked at the WeChat message, then held up a sign and shouted something.
Wang Jiachao smiled smugly.
"See? Now they only dare to add one million at a time. It was just a bluff."
"Jia Chao is amazing!"
"Jia Chao, I didn't know you were so good at analysis."
Wang Jiachao felt even more confident after being praised by his brother.
He calmly raised his sign: "Fifty-five million."
Fifty-five million was close to the upper limit of the estimated value, and most people present had to sigh and shake their heads, giving up the bidding.
Apart from bidders number 7 and 9, none of the other bidders even made a single bid.
The host pointed in the direction of Wang Jiachao.
"Number 7 offered 55 million."
"Anyone else want to place a bid?"
The host waited a few minutes before saying, "Fifty-five million once."
Nowadays, information is basically transparent once it's posted online, so at this price, most people probably won't raise it any further.
Just as the host was about to announce the second bidding prompt...
Liu Nini looked at her phone and raised the sign again.
"Sixty million."
"What's going on? Has this girl gone mad?"
"Exactly. After bidding 60 million, when will we ever make a profit? If we're unlucky, we could lose at least half of it."
"Today wasn't a complete waste. Although we didn't bid, judging from the looks of it, there's a good chance we'll see something interesting later on."
Wang Jiachao looked behind him, his face stiff.
Liu Xian and Liu Yan also looked at Liu Nini.
The three then realized that the other party was clearly targeting them.
Wang Jiachao gritted his teeth and raised his sign: "Sixty-one million."
Liu Nini was a little afraid of the three people's gazes, but she still held up the sign: "Sixty-five million."
Wang Jiachao couldn't hold back any longer. Since they weren't far apart, he spoke up directly and asked:
"Young lady, do you know me?"
Liu Nini shook her head: "I don't know him."
Wang Jiachao frowned and said, "Then why are you arguing with me? Don't say you didn't, a normal person wouldn't spend 65 million to buy this land."
Upon hearing this, Liu Nini said apologetically, "Please wait a moment, let me see what President Lu has to say."
Liu Nini forwarded Wang Jiachao's words to Lu Ran.
A response was received very quickly.
Then Liu Nini looked up at Wang Jiachao, her expression hesitant: "Either make a bid, or... or... don't just compare prices."
Liu Nini blushed when she said this, as it really damaged her ladylike image.
There was nothing we could do; it was President Lu's order.
Hu Wen covered her mouth, almost bursting out laughing. She finally understood why Lu Ran had asked the two girls to participate in the auction.
How could onlookers not laugh at such a stark contrast? How could the victims not be moved?
Wang Jiahao was so angry he almost vomited blood.
However, he soon discovered a very important piece of information.
"You just mentioned President Lu. Your boss's surname is Lu. Which Lu? Is it Lu Ran?"
Liu Yan was also startled, thinking that Lu Ran might not actually know what they had done and was now taking revenge!
If the "President Lu" this girl is talking about is really Lu Ran, then wouldn't that mean that Qianhai Hotel belongs to Lu Ran?
Liu Nini looked at her phone:
"President Lu said that you have met him once before, and you are welcome to come to Chengjiang to play. But if you want to try to make money in Chengjiang, forget about it, because he will not allow it."
"Jia Chao, it really is Lu Ran, what should we do?"
Wang Jiachao thought for a moment and waved his hand to signal Liu Yan not to panic.
Based on what they just said, it's clear that Lu Ran didn't come for revenge, meaning he's unaware of what they've done.
They were simply incredibly arrogant.
After calming down and thinking it over, Liu Yan understood and stopped panicking.
"Brother Jia Chao, Brother Yan, this Lu Ran is too arrogant. Even our family wouldn't dare to say such things. He's acting like he's the local tyrant of Chengjiang."
If Lu Ran came to avenge the company, then Wang Jiachao might consider whether to confront him head-on or temporarily avoid conflict.
However, Lu Ran's attitude of simply being in a superior position and his contemptuous and oppressive behavior really angered Wang Jiachao.
They won't even let our family put our hands in here? Who do you think you are?!
If he doesn't stand up for himself, and the news gets back, it will not only be a slap in the face for him, but also for his whole family.
Wang Jiachao immediately raised his sign: "Seventy million."
The other bidders gasped in surprise, all stunned by the price.
Even the host didn't expect to get such a price today.
After a brief moment of surprise, he prepared to ask if anyone else was bidding.
However, he hadn't spoken yet.
Number 9 raised the sign again.
"Seventy-five million."
Wang Jiachao was utterly puzzled: "Where did Lu Ran get so much cash? Even if Qianhai Hotel belongs to him, it's impossible!"
After muttering something to himself, Wang Jiachao looked at Liu Nini.
"Beautiful lady, I advise you to remind Lu Ran that if I don't keep offering this price, he's definitely going to lose money."
Liu Nini nodded: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll ask President Lu."
Wang Jiachao: ......
This feeling of punching cotton is really frustrating. How much does he look down on a woman to bid for him?
Wang Jiachao became increasingly angry the more he thought about it.
"President Lu replied. He said that your way of buying things is different from his way of buying things."
Wang Jiachao was taken aback: "What's the difference? Does he think he can conjure up money out of thin air?"
"Mr. Lu said that he only buys things based on his mood, not their value. Only poor people care about whether a product is worth it."
Damn it, Wang Jiachao was furious, more furious than ever before. This was the first time in his life that someone had called him poor.
What really broke his defenses was that, strictly speaking, he was indeed not as rich as Lu Ran, and by a huge margin. The Qianhai Hotel alone was enough to crush him.
Unless he relies on his family, he has no chance to refute it.
Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.
