"I wonder if there will be anything good to watch today."
"I wonder who will take over Golden Island?"
At nine o'clock on the morning when Wolong asked Tao Shengyi to plead guilty to Tang Ruoxue, more than a thousand people were gathered in the lobby of the City Department Building.
Today is the island’s official second auction.
The last time the paradise island was auctioned for a sky-high price of 200 billion, it shocked everyone on the island.
Although Tao Xiaotian spared no effort to suppress public opinion to avoid arousing curiosity from others to spy on Paradise Island, the auction still gained a lot of popularity.
One thousand audience tickets, which were originally distributed for free according to the number of people gathered, were sold to 10,000 yuan each by scalpers.
Many people want to see if today's bidding will cause another disturbance.
If there is another auction worth hundreds of billions, this life experience will last a lifetime.
Island officials also like this kind of crowded and lively scene.
Firstly, it can heighten the enthusiasm of the auction, and secondly, it may attract a few bad guys to join the auction.
Therefore, they not only changed the venue to a larger one, but also provided enough fruit purification water.
Therefore, the auction that started at 9:30 was crowded with people early on.
After sitting down according to the seats, there are basically no empty seats.
At this moment, Ye Fan and Bao Qianyun were also sitting in a corner in disguise.
Ye Fan originally followed Song Wansan's orders not to come to the scene, but he came over secretly because he was worried that the old man would be in danger.
He didn't want anything to happen to Song Wansan and make Song Hongyan sad.
Wearing a hat, glasses and a mask, he was indescribably polite and could not be identified unless he looked carefully.
Bao Qianyun also covered up her arrogance and beauty, wearing black-rimmed glasses to make herself simple.
She was respectful to Ye Fan like a little secretary.
Ye Fan did not communicate with Bao Qianyun. While waiting for Song Wansan to arrive, he flipped through the briefing on his mobile phone.
Cai Lingzhi's information came over, including news that Tang Ruoxue and others were attacked.
Tang Hailong led nearly fifty overseas mercenaries to attack Tang Ruoxue on a desert island offshore.
They also carried rockets purchased from neighboring countries.
However, such powerful firepower still failed to kill Tang Ruoxue. Instead, Tang Ruoxue and the others launched a desperate counterattack.
The specific situation is unclear, because there were no survivors at the scene, and the desert island had been cleaned and burned, so there is not much evidence.
"Although Tang Ruoxue's marksmanship is great, her skills are not good and she cannot withstand rocket attacks."
"And Aunt Qing was seriously injured and unconscious, and cannot participate in the battle."
"Combined with Aunt Qing's injuries and the poison being controlled..."
"This shows that there is a holy hand on the desert island with amazing medical skills."
"However, no matter how powerful or domineering a medical expert is, it is difficult for him to be a clone. It is impossible for him to spend all his energy and energy to save Aunt Qing and then kill someone."
"This means that there is at least one martial arts master on the island."
"And he is a master of the Earth Realm level, otherwise it would be difficult to kill Tang Hailong and his group."
Ye Fan looked at the briefing and made quick deductions, with a hint of doubt in his eyes:
Where did Tang Ruoxue find these people?
He knew Tang Ruoxue fairly well and knew her connections, so he was very confused about Aunt Qing and their existence.
One Qing aunt can be said to be a result of luck or favor, but having at least three Qing aunts to assist her is intriguing.
Ye Fan made an inference: "Could it be that Chen Yuanyuan sent her?"
The time soon reached nine-thirty. The host stepped onto the stage on time and picked up the microphone to signal for silence:
"Gentlemen and ladies, today is the second session of the island auction."
"In the last scene, Chairman Tao had a unique vision and missed the sacred treasure of Paradise Island for 200 billion."
"Today, there are countless treasures gathered together, from Zheng Banqiao's famous paintings that have been passed down for hundreds of years, to the golden island that is like a pearl in the sea."
"Dear guests, seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and don't let your beloved things be snatched away."
“Don’t miss it when you’re passing by.”
The host shouted impassionedly: "The second auction has officially begun!"
Ye Fan raised his head and looked forward...
"The first time in 100 million, the second time in 100 million..."
The auction was extremely fierce, and the famous painting by Zheng Banqiao that was the first to be taken out was simply a huge leap in price.
It started at 10 million, and instantly reached 100 million, shocking the whole audience.
Soon, the painting was bought by a beautiful internet celebrity with a sweet appearance for 1.5 billion.
Ye Fan had to lament that people nowadays are so rich, but he felt relieved when he thought that Internet celebrities could bring in goods worth RMB 600 million a night.
Then another hotel called Jinmao Huadu in Hengcheng was put up for auction.
This hotel consists of three thirty-story buildings, with six units on each floor and more than 500 suites in three buildings.
However, due to funding problems, it is only half-finished and has been unfinished for several years.
Jinmao Huadu has first-class facilities, is quiet in the bustle, and is close to six major casinos, which is very good.
The developer Brother Hao was arrested for illegal gambling and lending on the island, and due to insolvency, the island officials confiscated all his assets.
These assets include the Jinmao Huadu Hotel in Hengcheng.
If Jinmao Flower City can be redeveloped, it will definitely be a chicken that lays golden eggs.
However, Brother Hao, who was arrested, asked someone to tell him that if anyone dared to buy this hotel, Brother Hao would definitely kill his whole family.
This developer is not only a ruthless desperado, but also has a close relationship with the gambling king of Hengcheng, so no one questions his threat.
Tao Xiaotian and Bao Zhenhai don't want to provoke such people.
Moreover, Jin Maohua is far away in Hengcheng and is on someone else’s territory, making it difficult to take over.
Therefore, Jin Mao Flower has not been auctioned for several years.
Especially since Brother Hao will be released from prison in a few months, no one wants to touch this hotel.
The island official never thought of putting it up for sale again because it had failed to pass the auction many times and the hotel could not sell it at auction.
But Paradise Island’s 200 billion gave the island officials the idea of trying their luck.
So it temporarily appeared at this auction.
"The starting price is one billion, does anyone bid, does anyone bid..."
The host kept shouting: "This hotel has first-class facilities, and now there are famous schools stationed there. If you buy it, you will make money."
One billion? So cheap?
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and when he saw that no one was bidding, he tilted his head slightly towards Bao Qianyun: "Take it!"
Bao Qianyun was slightly startled, then whispered:
"Master Ye, this hotel was developed by relatives of Hengcheng's gambling king, who are also desperadoes."
"It will be a lot of trouble to take it down."
She told Ye Fan the origin: "Tao Xiaotian doesn't dare to touch it, so we'd better not miss it."
Ye Fan didn't say anything more, he just pressed his finger lightly and motioned for her to buy it.
Bao Qianyun didn't say any more and simply shouted out one billion.
Everyone was in an uproar and looked at Bao Qianyun like a fool. They didn't expect anyone to dare to touch this hotel.
Bao Qianyun showed no expression and took over the hotel calmly.
Ye Fan is so confident, she has confidence.
The scene quickly regained its composure after being surprised, and then watched the host continue to auction the rest of the items.
The items for auction today, with the exception of Jinmao Flower City, are all of great value and have attracted many people's attention.
Not only were the lots auctioned off quickly, but they all fetched a good price, making the island officials smile from ear to ear.
Soon, the auction came to its finale.
"Next, let's conduct the auction for the last item, Golden Island!"
The host is full of passion:
"This island is just like its name, a pearl in the ocean. It is the best island in the world, bar none."
"It belongs to a zone to be developed. In addition to the 10% of land left by the government, the winner of the auction will own the remaining 90% of the land and have full legal development rights."
"And it lasted for fifty years!"
"Based on the island's current tourism trends and the evaluation by experts from all parties, the potential value of Golden Island definitely exceeds three trillion."
"Whoever takes it down will be the richest man in the future of the island."
"But the island official has a statement to tell everyone."
"Everyone who participates in the bidding for Golden Island must complete the payment of funds within 24 hours if they bid for this piece of land."
"If there is no payment or regret after more than 24 hours, the island official will confiscate the winner's deposit and monitoring funds."
"The winner will also face a prison sentence of not less than three years but not more than ten years."
"The crime is a waste of government resources."
The host puts the ugly words first to prevent anyone from deliberately causing trouble.
The whole audience was in an uproar. They didn't expect the Golden Island auction to be so demanding, but when they thought of its value, they were all relieved.
Seeing that no one had any objections, the host waved his hand:
"The Golden Island auction has officially begun, with a starting price of 80 billion and an increase of 10 billion each time."
He was extremely excited.
When Ye Fan was subconsciously looking for Song Wansan's figure, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang:
