Chapter 100 (Monthly Pass at All Costs)
In the dark auction venue, pairs of eyes stayed on the projector screen. This is a video:
The vast sea of turbulent seas, the islands are scattered like gems. The eagle spreading its wings and soaring towards an isolated island. The isolated island is large, with dozens of square kilometers. The rolling mountains, lush trees, the splendor of birds and flowers, and the play of colorful butterflies.
The highest peak in the center of the island is a majestic castle full of European style. The flat plate-top road is divided into three forks at the top of the mountain, one leading to the castle, one leading to the nearby parking lot, and one leading to the apron.
Looking down at the isolated island, you will be surprised to find that nine small hills spread thousands of meters towards the sea. At the end of each hill, there is a European-style pavilion. Following the downhill road of each hill, all the way to the sea-to-sea area, there is a private pier for passenger ships.
"Nine Dragons Spitting Beads?"
"How is that possible?"
Tang Xiu's pupils continued to shrink, and an incredible light burst out from his eyes. His body was trembling slightly at this moment, and his heart was rushing like a storm.
Once upon a time, when he was in the fairy world, he also had an excellent Feng Shui treasure land. There was rich spiritual energy in the world and sufficient spiritual power in the earth. Practicing there would definitely be twice the result with half the effort. And there was called the "Nine Dragons Spitting Pearl Secret Realm".
The video playback ends.
The lights of the entire auction venue were turned on again, and the auctioneer smiled and said, "The video you see is what we were going to auction today. It is located in Kowloon Island in the Pacific Ocean. The island it is near is Nanbird Island. The distance between the two is two thousand nautical miles."
"This private island was originally owned by the owner of a European consortium. Unfortunately, the island had just been developed for two and a half years, and the owner of the consortium had to sell the private island for special reasons. It just so happened that the boss of our auction had a good relationship with the owner of this island, so the other party entrusted us with the auction right."
"The guests who are qualified to come to participate in the Bauhinia auction are all real wealthy people in China. I believe many people will be interested in this Feng Shui treasure land. So, I will not say much nonsense, the auction of this private island will begin now."
"Its base price is 500 million, and each price increase must not be less than 10 million. The auction begins now."
As the auctioneer finished speaking, hundreds of people who participated in the auction whispered. After all, this was related to a transaction of at least 500 million. Although they were all very rich, 500 million was not a small amount for them.
“This island is good.”
Miao Wentang had a smile on his face, but he had no intention of bidding. He glanced at Tang Xiu with a side face, then turned to another direction, looked at Shao Mingzhen and asked, "If I remember correctly, you are planning to buy a house abroad recently. How about it? Are you interested?"
Shao Mingzhen was silent for a moment, shook his head slowly and said, "The reserve price of this private island is indeed not high. If you can get it for 500 million, you can make some money even if you buy it and then sell it. But everyone knows this problem, so I think even if it is 1 billion, you may not be able to buy it. I am not a rich man, and I can't compare with you. So, I will start to make a soy sauce!"
Miao Wentang laughed in silence and said, "If you really want to buy it, I can lend it to you. If I don't get it out, I can still take out one billion working capital."
Shao Mingzhen laughed and said, "I'll take a look first!"
Tang Xiu stood up, walked to the corner behind the auction venue, and dialed a set of numbers.
Star City.
In a villa near the King of Viewing Tower in Nanzha Town, Chen Zhizhong, who had just bought the villa, was sitting cross-legged in the study, practicing the martial arts taught to him by Tang Xiu. He used to be a cultivator, but he practiced the true qi, which was very different from the martial arts of immortal cultivation.
but.
There are thousands of ways, but the path will eventually come.
Because of the previous foundation, he was working hard to transform his true energy into true energy.
"Lingling..."
The phone suddenly rang, awakening Chen Zhizhong who was practicing. Suddenly, a look of anger appeared on his face. He grabbed the phone and looked at the number on the caller ID. The anger on his face disappeared without a trace. Instead, he felt a little respectful and pressed the answer button:
"Master, are you looking for me?"
"I need money, the more the better. How much money can you mobilize within ten minutes?"
“…”
Chen Zhizhong was silent for half a minute, thinking in his mind, and after half a minute, he said, "About 3 billion. Time is too tight. If you can give me half a day, I can get five billion, or even more."
Tang Xiu said: "I will give you my account and in ten minutes, I will transfer 3 billion to my account."
"good!"
Chen Zhizhong agreed, and no longer cared about practicing, and began to keep making calls.
Jingmen Island, auction venue.
Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang were getting together to chat privately, but suddenly they noticed that Tang Xiu had left the seat, and they looked at each other. Tang Xiu had just left the seat and went to make a phone call. After returning, he began to participate in the auction of Thousand Years of Ginseng.
"Brother Miao, is Tang Xiu going to participate in the auction again? He is interested in that private island?" Shao Mingzhen asked in a low voice with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Miao Wentang whispered: "It's very likely. Look at his serious expression, I think this matter is always the same. However, I really can't understand why he had to go to the Pacific Ocean to buy a private island at his age. Could it be that he would move to that island and live a life of isolation from the world?"
Shao Mingzhen smiled bitterly and said, "I can't see through it, I really can't see through it! To be honest, Tang Xiu's age and appearance give me a strong sense of contradiction. I can't understand at all, why does such a young man have no attitude towards his words, deeds, and actions? Instead, he looks like a scheming wise man?"
"He's a monster."
Miao Wentang's final conclusion.
Tang Xiu returned to his seat and quietly waited for the funds to arrive. Although he saw the strange expression on Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen's faces, he did not explain much.
If millennium ginseng is something he really wants, then he will definitely win this private island. Even if he takes action to grab it, he must get it.
"Five hundred million."
The fat middle-aged man with a nouveau riche is the first to make a quote.
"Fivetty-two million."
"Five hundred and fifty million."
“…”
In the last round of auction, the number of people participating in the auction was relatively fewer than before, but more than a dozen people were constantly increasing the price. Among them, the most jubilant quotation was the fat middle-aged man wearing a gold chain. After seven or eight minutes, the price had risen to 1.48 billion.
"One.5 billion!"
A trace of sweat appeared on the fat middle-aged man's forehead and he still shouted loudly.
"Two billion!"
Another old man over 70 years old raised the sign in his hand and shouted.
The fat middle-aged man suddenly turned his head, staring at the old man with anger. After gasping for a few times, he shouted again: "Twenty-one billion."
At this price, only the old man and the fat middle-aged man were still bidding for. The old man had no expression on his face, as if he was ignoring the fat middle-aged man's anger, and quoted again: "Twenty-two billion."
"Twenty and three billion!"
The fat middle-aged man's voice was a little hoarse, but he still insisted.
However!
What turned his anger into joy was that the old man shook his head silently and stopped quoting.
"call……"
The fat middle-aged man wiped off the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. He had actually reached his limit, and if he had increased the price, he would give up.
The auctioneer smiled at the corner of his mouth and his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Now the price of Kowloon Island has risen to 2.3 billion. This is indeed a terrifying number, but I think there should be someone else who has not taken action. After all, a private island worth dozens of square kilometers has been completed. If it is used reasonably, it will definitely be a paradise on earth and its own kingdom."
"On Kowloon Island, there is no law in real society. Whoever owns the entire Kowloon Island is the king of this land and is the most powerful person. If the owner of Kowloon Island is willing, he can apply internationally and apply for the establishment of a new country."
"This is a dream, a paradise. I want to ask, is there anyone willing to raise the price? Does anyone want to become the owner of Kowloon Island?"
The entire auction venue became silent as if it were dead.
Everyone is watching each other. They are incited by the auctioneer's words, and their emotions have been completely mobilized, but they cannot provide so much liquidity. Otherwise, it will have a serious impact on their career and will be injuring them.
Heart-wrenching!
But helpless!
This is the truest portrayal of their hearts.
The auctioneer Xiao Ai showed a hint of disappointment on his beautiful face. Although the price of 2.3 billion was much higher than her expectations, she still hoped that this island could be sold at a higher price.
The fat middle-aged man was just the opposite. A smile appeared on his face again, and he even felt a little proud. His eyes swept across the last old man who bid with him, and then subconsciously glanced at Tang Xiu.
"Twenty-five billion!"
Tang Xiu's voice echoed in the auction venue.
In a moment.
Everyone in the entire auction venue showed a strange look. No one expected that Tang Xiu, who could not even buy a thousand-year-old ginseng, would bid for this private island and even quote a sky-high price!
Does he have that much money?
Where did he get such great courage?
besides……
who is he?
Questions surged in the hearts of everyone.
Miao Wentang, Shao Mingzhen, and even the immortal-like Zi Yi Zhenren, were shocked by Tang Xiu's big money. They looked at Tang Xiu in disbelief, but they didn't expect that Tang Xiu could actually take out so much money!
Chapter completed!
