Chapter 252 Land Auction
Everyone then realized that it was already lunchtime. However, after such a long discussion, they still hadn't reached a clear conclusion.
In fact, the people present all belonged to small companies.
The reason they gathered here is simple—they knew they couldn't compete with those powerful large companies.
But the Shenzhen Stock Exchange is such a tempting piece of meat that everyone wants a slice.
Therefore, these small companies decided to band together and participate in the bidding, hoping to acquire a piece of land at a relatively low price.
The problem arose precisely in the land allocation process after the successful bid.
After all, everyone desires the land with the greatest potential and the best location; no one wants to suffer a loss.
As a result, the originally harmonious atmosphere gradually became tense, with arguments rising and falling, and neither side willing to give in.
The stalemate continued, and ultimately no agreement was reached.
Seeing this, someone suggested suspending the meeting, taking a short break, and continuing the discussion after lunch.
The suggestion was quickly accepted. Everyone stood up, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then went off to find food.
Zhao Yuan and his company entourage hurriedly got into their car and rushed back to their hotel to prepare for dinner.
Sitting at the dining table, everyone wolfed down their food while exchanging ideas and opinions about the upcoming auction plan.
"Let's try to keep a low profile this afternoon, talk less, and listen to what others have to say. It doesn't matter which piece of land we end up bidding for, it's fine with us."
Zhao Yuan swallowed a mouthful of food and spoke slowly.
"Huh? But if we do as you say, doesn't that mean we'll likely only be able to pick land that nobody else wants?"
Fu Bolin put down his chopsticks, frowned, and asked.
"It's alright, this is our first time trying this! The most important thing is to learn from our experience. Besides, I've carefully studied every single plot of land in this auction, and they're all quite good!"
Zhao Yuan smiled and spoke in a relaxed tone.
Zhao Zhaodi gazed quietly at her father, her bright eyes blinking as if she were pondering his words deep in her mind.
Thanks to Zhao Yuan's magnanimity and concessions, the discussion on how to allocate the land after the successful bid was completed smoothly in no time, and a complete consensus was quickly reached.
Now that we've reached a consensus, the next step is to work together as one to further refine our bidding strategy.
Finally, the long-awaited auction day arrived as scheduled.
On this morning, sunlight shone through the thin clouds, scattering down and draping the earth in a golden veil.
Zhao Yuan led his team members into the auction venue with high spirits and full of confidence.
Everyone was filled with hope and determination, preparing for the upcoming fierce land auction battle.
The auction hall was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere, as if even the air itself had frozen.
People were either whispering amongst themselves or solemnly flipping through the documents in their hands, creating an unusually solemn atmosphere.
As time ticked by, the host finally stepped onto the auction stage with steady steps.
He first cleared his throat, and then, in a loud and clear voice, briefly introduced the relevant rules and precautions for the auction to everyone present.
After everything was explained, the host announced loudly:
"The land auction is now officially open!"
Zhao Yuan and his companions stared intently at the huge screen in front of them, as plots of land appeared one after another, like soldiers awaiting inspection.
The moment the first plot of land went up for auction, it was as if a huge rock had been thrown into a calm lake, creating huge waves. Several powerful companies immediately launched a thrilling and fierce competition.
The bids for those popular plots skyrocketed like rockets, with the numbers constantly fluctuating, making it dizzying to watch.
Zhao Yuan suppressed his urge to immediately join the bidding and whispered to his companion not to rush.
As time passed and the bidding progressed, the competition for some previously highly anticipated plots of land eased slightly.
Zhao Yuan, who had been secretly observing and waiting for the right moment, finally saw an excellent opportunity. He took a deep breath, then steadily raised the sign in his hand and announced his ideal price.
Meanwhile, the smaller companies that had banded together noticed Zhaoyuan's moves, but most chose to observe and remain silent.
Only one company seemed to hesitate for a long time before cautiously raising the price slightly. However, Zhao Yuan did not back down or waver. He remained calm and composed, and finally successfully won the bid for a 1500-square-meter plot of land in the suburbs for 500 million.
The auction continued in a tense but orderly manner, with the atmosphere growing increasingly intense.
However, just as everyone was focused on bidding for a highly sought-after plot of land, something unexpected happened—a large company suddenly resorted to a treacherous tactic, openly accusing another company of malicious collusion and deliberately inflating the price.
This sudden turn of events plunged the entire scene into chaos, with people whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
Upon seeing this, the staff responsible for maintaining order quickly took action and rushed to the scene to conduct an investigation.
Faced with unfounded accusations, the wronged company remained fearless and calmly presented a series of sufficient and compelling evidence, successfully proving its innocence.
It turns out that all of this was just the large company's fear that many small companies would unite to form a strong competitive force and snatch away the land they wanted. So they deliberately used such despicable means to disrupt the situation and confuse the public.
After the controversy subsided, the auction continued.
Zhao Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down from his nervousness.
He knew that every decision he made and every bid would determine the success or failure of the land auction, and even more so, whether the entire team could successfully enter the Shenzhen market.
In the face of fierce competition, Zhao Yuan and his team worked closely together.
He calmly analyzed the situation on the field and quickly exchanged views and strategies with his teammates.
