Chapter 1238
As for Ye Xiao and Daveka, they soon entered the venue of the auction.
At this time, many bidders had come to the venue, most of whom were wealthy businessmen from Xiangguo or nearby Nanyang countries.
Since the 1990s, Xiangguo's natural rubber production and export has ranked first in the world. Although the rubber plantation was not well managed by Tianwumen, it still attracted a large number of wealthy people who were interested in investing in the industry.
Led by the service staff, Ye Xiao and his party went to their seats soon.
During this process, Ye Xiao kept looking at the buyers' seats and the service staff standing everywhere.
And with his late-stage vision, he checked whether there were any flaws in the disguises of some of these people.
After looking around, Ye Xiao nodded secretly. He found that both Alibaba's men and Su Jianxin's men had completely entered the role.
If he didn't know the identities of these people in advance, he could hardly tell that they were any different from ordinary people.
Now, we are just waiting for the show to begin.
About ten minutes after the few people sat down, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked onto the auction stage.
He said to everyone in the venue with a smile: "Welcome everyone to participate in this auction. I declare that the auction of the rubber plantation in Nangong District has officially begun."
"The starting price is 5 billion Xiangguo yuan, and the amount of each bid cannot be less than 20 million."
After the auctioneer finished speaking, he knocked down the wooden hammer in his hand, which meant that the participants in the venue could raise their cards to bid.
Ye Xiao and Tan Lang were not very interested in this auction, so they both turned their attention to Naixin and the Tianwumen disciples beside him.
In their minds, they deduced the actions that would be launched in a while.
And Daweika and Tinipei, who were determined to win the rubber plantation, focused their attention on the auction.
At this moment, for the two of them, the competition had begun silently.
However, after the auctioneer struck the hammer, the first to bid were not Tini Peiyi or Daveka, but some businessmen who wanted to speculate.
"Five and two billion!" A businessman wearing gold-rimmed glasses and combing his hair back raised his number plate and was the first to bid his price.
This person was originally a businessman who operated entertainment venues in Xiangguo. In the past two years, due to the influence of the general environment, the number of tourists from other places has decreased, and his industry is not doing well, so he wants to buy this rubber plantation to open up another track.
Before coming to the auction, he asked someone to evaluate the value of the rubber plantation auctioned by Tianwumen. The upper limit was 7 billion. If it was bought for more than this amount, it would not be worth much to him.
He was also lucky at this time, hoping to buy it at a low price.
However, what the businessman did not expect was that the next offer someone shouted directly broke his fantasy.
"Eight billion!"
Hearing this offer, many sellers who came to the auction could not help but secretly gasp.
Because this price has far exceeded the psychological expectations of most people.
"Does this guy have too much money to spend, or is he just a fool with too much money?"
But when people saw who made the offer, they all shut up instantly, not daring to say the mocking words in their mouths anymore.
Because the person who made the offer was the young master of the Sta family, Tinipei, who ranked third among the ten great nobles of Xiangguo.
The bidders present were all very savvy people in various industries. Who would dare to say that the young master of the Sta family was mentally abnormal at this time?
"Is there any other value of this rubber plantation that we don't know? Why did Master Tinipei offer a price far exceeding its maximum valuation as soon as he arrived?"
A wealthy businessman from Southeast Asia whispered.
"I can't say for sure. If there is any hidden value, Tianwumen would not know about it, so why would they auction it?"
"But Master Tinipei graduated from MIT in the United States and is known as a business genius. It is impossible for him to make such a disadvantageous decision!"
"Hey! In any case, Master Tinipei is probably determined to get this rubber plantation. He quoted such a price, and I'm afraid no one dares to bid with him."
Many people also thought so. Although there were many rich people present, no one dared to say that they had more money than the Star family.
Even if there was such a person, there was no need to feel bad for the young master of the Star family.
After all, the rubber plantation is in Xiangguo. Even if you bid higher than Tinipei and win it, it would be easy for the Star family to make trouble for you, right?
Just at the bigWhen most people thought that the rubber plantation belonged to Tinipei, another bidding voice came.
"Nine billion!"
Hearing this voice, everyone was shocked again and looked at the bidder.
They all wanted to see who was so brave to challenge the Star family. When they saw that the bidder was a woman.
Some people couldn't help but wonder, "Where did this little girl come from? How dare she go against Master Tinipei? Isn't she afraid that she will have money to bid but no life to run the business?"
Since Daweka had been living in the West Continent in the past few years and inherited the Nemo family's business, it happened only in recent days. Therefore, some people who don't know much about the Xiangguo aristocratic circle don't know Daweka.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Daweka from Nemo's family?" A Xiangguo businessman who recognized Daweka exclaimed.
"No wonder she dared to bid against Master Tinipei. The status of the Nemo family in the Elephant Country is only slightly behind the Star family in ranking, and the overall strength is completely comparable to the Star family."
"So it's the new head of the Nemo family! I think only Miss Daveka has the courage to do this!"
"I just don't know what special value this rubber plantation has. Why are the Star family and the Nemo family willing to spend such a high premium to auction it?"
After hearing Daveka's offer, Naixin's face suddenly smiled brighter than a chrysanthemum.
His initial psychological expectation was that he would be satisfied with 8 billion Elephant Country currency. He never expected that the price would reach 9 billion in less than a minute.
This money is so easy to make! Even if there is a money printing machine, it can't keep up with this speed!
"10 billion!"
Tini Pei quoted his price again without hesitation.
Yesterday he said that even if he didn't make money, he couldn't make Daveka happy, but he didn't expect that Daveka would snatch the project away from him. Today, after being ridiculed by Solo and Naixin, he decided to increase the stakes.
Even if he loses money, he must achieve his goal.
Of course, Tinibei didn't make such a decision just because he was dizzy, but because he had his own calculations.
He and Daveka were fighting not only for face, but also for the position of president of the Xiangguo Chamber of Commerce. If he was defeated by Daveka one after another, his supporters in the Chamber of Commerce would inevitably be shaken.
Moreover, he knew that Daveka's current position was not stable. If he could destroy Daveka's cooperation with Tianye, he could cause unrest within the Nemo Group again.
In a word, what he paid now must be compensated by the benefits he would get in the future.
So Tinibei didn't think he would lose anything.
