As soon as Chen Ziyan's quotation came out, the scene was immediately silent.
Even the auctioneer on the stage was stunned and looked at Chen Ziyan with wide eyes.
Among the ten people at the scene, at least nine thought that Chen Ziyan had called it wrong.
Otherwise, the price had just been called one billion, why would she double it all of a sudden and call it two billion?
"Cough cough cough!"
The auctioneer coughed and asked, "Madam, did you just...did you shout two billion?"
"That's right." Chen Ziyan said calmly.
She stood up and looked around: "Don't think I'm crazy. I raised the price to two billion because our Dongfu Group is bound to get this diamond mine!"
"And we believe that the final auction price of this diamond mine will not be lower than US$2 billion."
"I have raised it so high now just to tell everyone here that if you are really determined to get this mine, don't waste time. As for those who are lucky and want to fish in troubled waters, quickly withdraw from the competition.
Bar!"
Lin Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Chen Ziyan's words.
Unexpectedly, this woman who was pestering Su Ningyu was actually a bit overbearing in business!
And he's also very resourceful.
It is undeniable that among the competitors at the scene, there must be some companies that are not determined to win this diamond mine.
They may have come here just to try their luck.
However, if these companies are allowed to make tentative bids, it is likely that their participation will heat up the atmosphere on the scene and ultimately lead to a transaction price that far exceeds expectations.
But now that Chen Ziyan is making such a fuss, some companies must have backed down.
The final actual transaction price may be much less than expected.
This trick is really good, Lin Chen learned it.
In the end, Chen Ziyan's words obviously had an effect. After she directly raised the price to US$2 billion, there were indeed fewer people participating in the auction.
The remaining people also stopped testing and quickly raised the bidding price.
"Twenty-one billion!"
"Twenty-two billion!"
Su Ningyu also shouted the price once: "Twenty-three hundred and sixty million!"
However, when Chen Ziyan bid again, the price was significantly increased again.
"Twenty-eight billion!"
Hearing this, even Su Ningyu backed down this time.
"Oops, it looks like Chen Ziyan has prepared at least 3 billion. My bottom line is only 2.5 billion. I'm afraid I have no chance..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen said: "Ningyu, do you need me to lend you funds?"
Su Ningyu shook her head: "Forget it, it's not cost-effective to continue like this. The limit price in my mind is 2.6 billion. Any higher would be unworthy."
After Su Ningyu withdrew from the competition, the others did not persist for long, and the final transaction price was indeed US$3 billion.
Such prices have been raised to a very high level.
After all, Subia is very poor. Just buying equipment and starting mining will require a huge investment. Although Chen Ziyan has obtained the mining rights, I am afraid that their diamonds in Subia will not be mined for a long time in the future.
Mines will operate at a loss.
"Congratulations! Congratulations to this lady, your Dongfu Group has won the mining rights of Subia No. 2 diamond mine for US$3 billion. Congratulations!"
When the auctioneer raised his hammer, the auction came to an end. The mining rights of the two diamond mines ended up in the hands of the Dongfu Group from China. This was quite surprising.
Su Ningyu was a little depressed. Although she came with great expectations this time, it seemed that she did not have as strong willpower and decisiveness as Chen Ziyan, and she was defeated by her in this auction.
After the auction ended, everyone left, and Lin Chen and Su Ningyu walked out together.
Seeing that Su Ningyu was in a bad mood, Lin Chen said: "Ningyu, don't be sad, don't you still have me here? I can promise you that if I find a diamond mine here, I can partner with your company
Conduct mining.”
Su Ningyu smiled bitterly: "Okay, thank you then."
Although she said so, it was obvious that Su Ningyu did not believe that Lin Chen would really gain anything here.
Lin Chen didn't explain it when he saw it.
I believe that when the result is announced, Su Ningyu will be extremely grateful to Lin Chen for today's decision.
Just when Lin Chen and Su Ningyu walked out of the auction venue together and were about to join their bodyguards outside, suddenly!
A group of jeeps suddenly crashed through the checkpoint at the venue.
Then, before the guards at the scene could react, a group of men wearing red scarves jumped out of the jeeps. They held AK submachine guns and started shooting at the surrounding Subian soldiers.
In just a moment, all the soldiers on the scene collapsed.
Immediately, a burst of screaming erupted from the scene.
All the guests attending the auction began to flee.
Lin Chen pulled Su Ningyu and rushed towards the area where Lei Long and the others were staying.
Just when they had just joined Lei Long and others, fierce gunfire erupted behind them, and the Subian army guarding the auction site began to engage in fierce exchanges of fire with these unidentified armed men.
Lin Chen and the others hid aside and did not act rashly for the time being.
"Boss, what's going on? Why did the fight start?" Lei Long said in surprise.
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
Lin Chen glanced outside. The firepower in the hands of the armed men who broke into the scene was extremely fierce. Although Subiya was an officer, the weapons in his hands were not as good as the other's. For a moment, he was suppressed by them.
And when the armed men took out grenades, the Subian army began to rapidly disintegrate.
"Damn! What's going on with these people? Is there a coup?" Lei Long muttered.
Hearing this, Lin Chen also thought: The probability of a coup in Subia is...
100%!
grass!
Lin Chen suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He was really afraid of something. The people coming from outside turned out to be Subia's rebels!
But isn’t this too much of a coincidence?
It is clear that the situation in Subia has been much peaceful recently than in the past, so why did another rebellion suddenly break out?
And it happened that the rebellion broke out just as they were coming to attend the auction.
This kind of superimposed coincidence gave Lin Chen an unpleasant premonition.
The probability that this coup is related to me is...
100%!
Indeed it is!
Seeing this, Lin Chen knew that they couldn't just hide where they were.
Since the coup is related to him, there is no guarantee that those people are not also targeting him.
Now the regular army is obviously unable to resist. If nothing is done, all of them will be in danger!
Thinking of this, Lin Chen stretched out his hand to Lei Long: "Captain Lei, give me a gun!"
