Ye Fan had sharp eyes and quickly found Lin Wanqing's position, pulled a chair from the side and sat next to her.
Lin Wanqing frowned when she saw Ye Fan was half an hour late: "What's the matter with you, that you can be late for such an important day?"
"We'll talk about this later." Ye Fan chuckled, "The bidding hasn't started yet?"
"No!" Lin Wanqing shook her head and looked at her watch: "But several leaders and bosses have already said that the official bidding will start soon."
Ye Fan looked around.
There are thirty round tables in the hall, divided into six rows and five columns.
The Li Group is in the second row, and the tables at the front are all Chinese real estate tycoons, such as Yike Group, Hengda Group, Country Garden Holdings Co., Ltd., etc.
However, this time the auction tables are not ranked based on the group's popularity, but based on the amount of bidding that the person in charge of the group self-reported.
In other words, all groups that come to participate in real estate auctions report their bidding capital. The specific amount is not announced. It only states a range, such as "one billion to three billion" or "three billion to five billion."
.
Of course, the person in charge of each group can under-report, but cannot over-report.
Because Binhai Port Company requires all transactions to be completed on-site to withdraw funds.
If someone overbids and cannot pay for the land, it will definitely affect the bidding process.
What surprised Ye Fan was that Qingyun Group was actually placed in the front row, on an equal footing with several real estate tycoons.
Lin Wanqing saw Ye Fan's eyes resting on Lu Shengyang, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "He pretended to be a bullshit and reported that he carried more than 10 billion in bidding funds."
"He wants to put pressure on you!" Ye Fan smiled and picked up a small sign from the table, which read Lin Wanqing's self-reported amount, "five billion to eight billion."
"It's a pity that he made a wrong calculation. The money in our hands is far more than the amount quoted."
"If my guess is correct, Lu Shengyang has at least 20 billion in active capital and will definitely compete with us for real estate."
Lin Wanqing pursed her red lips and whispered: "We can't spend too much capital on the real estate auction with him, otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss."
"I know." Ye Fan nodded and smiled, pondered for a few seconds, and said with a faint smile: "Leave the bidding to me later, let me play with Lu Shengyang first."
"good."
Lin Wanqing saw that Ye Fan had another idea, so she simply asked him to deal with Lu Shengyang.
After half an hour, the leader on the podium finally finished speaking.
The host immediately stepped onto the red cloth stage and arranged the bidding process.
All real estate managers are in high spirits and gearing up.
Each round table was given a map of the Xingang Terminal territory, a total of twenty-one properties, with a series of serial numbers marked in their respective areas.
"Dear guests, the official bidding will begin!"
The host opened the curtain and, with the help of the notary, pointed out the first piece of real estate.
"Building site No. A01 is located at the northeastern entrance of Xingang Wharf Cross Avenue, only two kilometers away from Xingang living area and 12 kilometers away from Xingang County.
Backed by mountains and facing the sea, the environment is beautiful.
The construction land covers a total area of 226 acres, which can be used to build both living housing and seaside villa areas.
The lowest bidding price is two hundred million Chinese coins!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience suddenly started whispering.
The two hundred and sixty acres is quite satisfactory. If it is based on the coastal area, it will not be a problem to build ten commercial houses with more than 20 floors. With ten households on one floor, it can accommodate 2,000 households.
However, the geographical location of this construction land is not good. It is quite far away from the Xingang Wharf living area and Xingang County.
As for the saying about having a mountain and facing the sea...
Haha, is there any part of the entire Xingang Pier territory that doesn't face the sea?
The environment is beautiful, but it is surrounded by undeveloped wilderness. How can the environment not be beautiful?
Most of the people here are veterans in the real estate industry. Without any special reason, they would never buy this piece of land.
Suddenly, the atmosphere at the auction fell to the lowest level, and no buyer was willing to be taken advantage of.
At this moment, a response suddenly sounded from the second row.
"Twenty million!"
When everyone looked around, they saw the person in charge of the Li Group, a local enterprise in Binhai, holding up a sign.
The host was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "The Li Group bids 200 million, is there any other guest who wants to increase the price?"
The audience was speechless, obviously not interested in this piece of land.
At the first row of round tables diagonally across from the Li Group, Lu Shengyang stared at Ye Fan and Lin Wanqing with doubtful eyes and made a cold sound on his nose.
"You are actually willing to spend 200 million to buy a piece of waste land? Even if commercial housing is built, no one will buy it..."
"Who said we are going to build commercial housing?" Ye Fan glanced sideways at Lu Shengyang and sneered in a low voice: "You are also one of the shareholders of Xingang Terminal after all. Don't you know that the current cargo area planning is not enough?
Although more than two hundred acres is not enough for a container terminal, it is more than enough for a temporary cargo area."
Lu Shengyang was stunned.
That piece of land is indeed not suitable for real estate, but it is perfect for a cargo area.
The roads at Xingang Terminal have just been built and are very wide to facilitate shipments. If a terminal is built here as a decentralized cargo area, it will definitely be a huge profit.
Moreover, the construction cost of the cargo area is very low. As long as the Xingang Terminal is put into use, the cargo area can be put into operation immediately.
However, Lu Shengyang had not heard about the tight planning of the cargo area at Xingang Terminal. Moreover, these words came from the mouth of his bitter enemy, which inevitably made him a little suspicious.
Lu Shengyang raised his head and suddenly found two persons in charge of Binhai Port Company nodding and smiling at Lin Wanqing.
He subconsciously said to himself: "Not good!"
He has recently concentrated on suppressing the Li Group and has been neglecting to consolidate his relationship with people from the Binhai Port Company.
On the other hand, Lin Wanqing was running around to seek connections and help.
The bank has already loaned a lot of money to the Li Group to build the Newport Terminal project, and it is impossible to continue to lend money in the short term.
Therefore, Binhai Port Company must be her first choice!
In addition, Lin Wanqing started planning the real estate auction early, so they must have cooperated long ago.
"Three hundred million!"
Lu Shengyang didn't think much and made a decision immediately. He quickly entered the bidding instrument in his hand and raised it high.
The host was about to announce that the Li Group had acquired the ownership of the land, when suddenly the Qingyun Group increased its price, and he was immediately overjoyed.
"Qingyun Group has offered 300 million yuan, is there anything else..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Li Group raised its quotation sign.
"Five hundred million! Li's Group offered five hundred million!" The host was stunned and quickly laughed: "Qingyun Group has met its opponent, I wonder if it will increase the price?"
Lu Shengyang looked at the real estate tycoons at the tables around him. Their faces were very confused, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
You are not members of our Xingang Terminal Board of Directors, so naturally you don’t know the value of the cargo area!
Five hundred million is required to purchase land for a cargo area, and after that, it can be completed by investing up to tens of millions.
Next, continue to seek large profits from energy sources.
As long as the Xingang Terminal does not collapse, the cargo area can make money!
Hum, Lin Wanqing is not a simple woman, she does have some foresight!
It is estimated that the funds in her hand are not enough to compete with these real estate tycoons, so she focuses her efforts on those cargo areas with large areas, geographical advantages and price advantages!
Lu Shengyang felt that his inference was correct, so he immediately reported the price tag.
"Six hundred million!"
"Eight hundred million!"
"One billion!"
"Two billion!"
"1.5 billion!"
The host's voice became louder and louder, and his face turned red.
Generally speaking, no matter what kind of auction, the first things released are just foreshadowing and have no particularly high value, and they rarely go up so many times.
Ye Fan quickly looked at Lin Wanqing and when he saw her shaking her head slightly, he reluctantly put down the bidding card in his hand.
This scene fell into Lu Shengyang's eyes, confirming his suspicion.
"Congratulations to Qingyun Group for acquiring land number A01!"
The host was in high spirits and hurriedly accompanied the notary to handle various documents for the real estate on the spot.
A few minutes later, Qingyun Group's finance paid 1.5 billion, and Lu Shengyang pocketed the ownership and use rights of a01.
He looked at Lin Wanqing and Ye Fan arrogantly, and snorted with disdain.
It's good to have money in your hands. Sooner or later, your Li Group will be defeated by our Qingyun Group's capital offensive!
Lu Shengyang did not spend his own money, so he did not have much psychological burden, and he openly believed that he had won the first bidding war.
The host immediately announced the start of the bidding for the second piece of real estate.
The condition of the a02 construction site is similar to that of a01. The distance from the dock and the county seat is almost the same as that of the a01 construction site, and the area is also almost the same.
It's just that one is located in the northeast of Xingang Pier, and the other is in the southeast.
The lowest bidding price is 200 million!
This time, the Li Group was the first to take advantage of the situation and directly raised the price to one billion!
The host almost burst into laughter.
As a representative of the third-party notary, he is entitled to a fixed commission.
The commission ratio was very, very low, and the company took the lion's share, so only a little bit got to him in the end.
However, no matter how small the proportion is, it cannot hold up to the huge transaction amount!
Originally, he thought that these two pieces of land could not be sold.
I never thought that not only was it sold, it was also sold at three times the starting price!
According to the contract with the company, he can share the commission of two unpopular pieces of land with 50,000 pieces out of 200 million yuan, which is more than other popular pieces of land!
Now that the Qingyun Group and the Li Group have offered a transaction amount of 1.5 billion, the "zero" commission he envisioned has instantly turned into hundreds of thousands!
Oh my god, I must thank the bosses of Li Group and Qingyun Group when I look back!
"Five billion, the first time..."
Just when the host was about to start pricing, Lu Shengyang proudly raised the quotation sign, "Sixteen hundred million!"
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu, that's almost it."
"Mr. Ye, if your Li Group can do it, can't our Qingyun Group not? Bidding is based on everyone's ability. If you are capable, you can continue to increase the price. I, the Qingyun Group, will accompany you to the end!"
"..." Ye Fan gritted his teeth and suddenly raised the quotation sign.
"The Li Group bids 1.8 billion!"
The host was very excited and his eyebrows were beating.
Lu Shengyang didn't take it seriously and dropped another bombshell.
