Chapter 331: Villa Auction
Everyone present was shocked.
The high housing price is secondary. After all, such a high-end, paradise-like house is worth it no matter how expensive it is.
What’s important is that all the top figures in Fengyi Country have bought villas in Tianting Guiyuan.
Not to mention the luxury of those villas, the lineup of these neighbors alone is enough to make people excited.
If I could buy one of these sets, wouldn't it be possible for me to bump into the most powerful people in Fengyi Kingdom when I go out for a walk in the future?
Zheng Qian's eyes lit up and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He was determined to get the villa in Tianting Guiyuan.
What was a hundred thousand taels? Even if it was thirty, no, five hundred thousand taels, he would grit his teeth and buy it.
"I'll bid two hundred thousand taels!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and directly doubled the starting price.
Zheng Qian turned his head and saw that it was Liang Songnian, the young master of the largest grain store in the capital.
"Mr. Liang is so generous!" Xie Dachun, the owner of Xiangmanlou, complimented, his tone full of envy.
Xie Dachun is not a top businessman and his family is not that wealthy. He cannot afford a villa and only wants to buy two high-rise apartments.
There were also some third and fourth rank officials who wanted to bid for the villas so that they could become acquainted with their superiors' superiors, but when they heard the prices, they could not help but be shocked.
Not to mention whether so much silver can be taken out, the source of the silver itself is a secret that cannot be told.
Zheng Qian was about to raise the price when he heard someone shout:
"Two hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
It’s Wang Jin, the owner of Jinlou.
Zheng Qian thought about it for a moment. The Wang family's financial situation was no worse than the Zheng family's. Wang Jin was a very stubborn person. If he confronted him, both sides would suffer. It would be better to wait and see.
Many merchants who were eager to try gave up the idea of bidding when they saw that the Liang family and the Wang family were clashing with each other, and began to sit back and watch the fight.
Anyway, a family is limited to purchasing one set, so they can bid for the two sets behind.
Zheng Qian and others have always been cautious in doing business, but some businessmen, relying on their wealth, are unwilling to fall behind.
For example, Liang Songnian.
He is young and energetic, and has just taken over the family business. Now is the time when he wants to make a name for himself. How could he be willing to lose face in public?
"Three hundred thousand taels!" Liang Songnian glanced at Wang Jin indifferently and added another fifty thousand.
Wang Jin stroked the pigeon egg-sized emerald ring, looking determined:
"Three hundred and one hundred thousand taels!"
Liang Songnian looked at Wang Jin with disdain.
"Boss Wang, your vision is too narrow. What's the point of adding 10,000 taels at a time? 350,000 taels!"
Wang Jin snorted coldly.
"You young brat, you don't know what you're talking about! Three hundred and sixty thousand taels! I'll give you ten thousand taels!"
Liang Songnian's face was gloomy. He threw his sleeves and said angrily:
"Four hundred thousand taels!"
Wang Jin looked at Liang Songnian with a fake smile:
"Four hundred and one thousand taels!"
Liang Songnian gritted his teeth: "Five hundred thousand taels!"
He doesn't believe this evil anymore!
Wang Jin said slowly:
"Five hundred and ten thousand taels!"
Liang Songnian panted a little and said angrily:
"Six hundred thousand taels!"
The two of them were competing with each other, and others had no chance to bid at all.
Lan Wei was stunned. Are these merchants so rich?
Oh no, he will be richer than them in the future.
No matter whether you are dealing in silk, grain, or gold and silver jewelry, who can beat real estate?
"Six hundred and one hundred thousand taels!"
"Seven hundred thousand taels!"
"Seven hundred and one hundred thousand taels!"
"Eight hundred thousand taels!"
When he shouted to this point, Liang Songnian's eyes turned red and he squeezed out each word from between his teeth.
He stared at Wang Jin, waiting for him to raise the price, but Wang Jin just kept silent.
Seeing that no one was shouting, Lan Wei took the small hammer and shouted:
"Eight hundred thousand taels at a time, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
"Eight hundred thousand taels twice!"
"Eight hundred thousand two or three times!"
"Okay, deal! Congratulations to this customer for winning Villa No. 10!"
Villa No. 10 was eventually bought by Liang Songnian for taels.
He looked at Wang Jin proudly and said, "Hmph, are you worthy enough to compete with me?"
Wang Jin glanced at Liang Songnian as if he was a fool, and shouted to Lan Wei on the stage:
"Boss Lan, can we start filming at Villa No. 11?"
Lan Wei smiled and asked someone to bring the house sale contract, saying:
"Wait a moment. Once the customer who bought Villa No. 10 has signed the contract, we will start bidding on the next one!"
When signing, Liang Songnian's hands were actually shaking a little. Eight hundred thousand taels was the majority of the Liang family's wealth.
But Wang Jin is so annoying. If he admits his mistake, will Young Master Liang still have the face he wants?
When Lan Wei saw Liang Songnian sign his name, his heart was filled with joy.
Gu Xi's trick is really effective.
The six ministers of the six ministries bought six houses and lost a total of 300,000 taels compared to the original price. However, they made back more than twice the money from this villa alone.
The faces of several ministers who had experienced the model house were a little gloomy, especially the Minister of Revenue Yan Qingfeng.
He stepped forward and said with a sullen face:
"Boss Lan, can you please have a word with me?"
Lan Wei didn't understand why, so he said to everyone present:
"Everyone, wait a moment."
After all, he is a first-rank official of the current dynasty, and others dare not interfere and can only wait.
Arriving at the CEO's office next to the model house, Lan Wei handed a bottle of soda to Yan Qingfeng.
"Master Yan, I am quite busy right now and don't have time to make tea for you. Please just drink some soda first."
Just now, when Minister Yan was in the model room, a salesperson gave him a small cup of this soda. It tasted sweet and delicious.
He took it without hesitation, put it in his arms, and prepared to take it back to comfort his grandson.
His dark expression eased a little, but he still said angrily:
"Boss Lan, how can you sell the house next to the new house I bought to a businessman?"
Lan Wei said:
"Master Yan, in this auction, naturally the one with the highest bid wins."
Yan Qingfeng frowned.
"That being said, how can those money-grubbing merchants be worthy of being my neighbors?"
Lan Wei hurriedly said:
"Your Excellency should not say that. Your Majesty has repeatedly warned us not to look down on merchants. I, Lan, will naturally treat everyone equally."
Lan Wei brought up the Empress. Even though Yan Qingfeng was unwilling, he did not dare to confront the Empress. He just snorted:
"I don't care. I don't want to be neighbors with merchants!"
Lan Wei said helplessly:
"The Liang family has already signed the purchase contract. If Huaxia Land regrets the decision now, it will have to pay a penalty, which is not a small amount. In addition, there are two more villas to be auctioned. It is hard to guarantee that they will not be bought by other merchants."
Yan Qingfeng flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly:
"If that's the case, then I won't buy it!"
Lan Wei was secretly happy, but he said reluctantly:
"Well, since Master Yan doesn't want to buy Building 9 anymore, I can agree to cancel the contract, and I can also waive the penalty for Master Yan's sake."
It’s better not to buy it. He can put it up for auction and easily sell it for hundreds of thousands of taels. Isn’t that much better than the 50,000 taels that the Yan family paid?
Yan Qingfeng just wanted to threaten Lan Wei just now, but when he saw Lan Wei agreed so readily, his face changed.
