1407 Bear the Consequences

Lu Youcai raised his number plate again and raised the price by six million yuan.

This land was the most important thing for the Hongxiang Group in the year’s second half. Lu Youcai had already made thorough preparations and prepared sufficient liquidity in advance.

Two hundred million yuan was the maximum amount that Hongxiang Group could offer, but he was very confident.

Because even if this piece of land was very valuable, no group would bid two hundred million yuan.

The land in the business district was more expensive than the land in the residential area, especially in Baiyun City. Real estate had been expanding in recent years, and the investment in all the business districts depended on the final investment return.

What could they earn from building a piece of land worth two hundred million yuan?

As such, Lu Youcai was very confident that he could buy the land for two hundred million yuan.

“Two hundred million yuan!”

Just as Lu Youcai was calculating in his heart, Bai Zhou raised his head faintly and said the highest value of this piece of land.

A jump of forty million yuan was something that had never happened in the history of auctions!

Everyone present revealed shocked expressions as they looked at the person bidding. Although it was only his back view, they already knew who the silver-white hair belonged to.

East Sea Real Estate, Manager Bai!

Lu Youcai held the number plate in his hand and did not come back to his senses for a long time. He never expected that someone would directly jump the price by forty million yuan and seal his escape route!

Even Jian Changsheng couldn’t help but frown.

Although this piece of land was good, the price of two hundred million yuan was too high. No matter what model of commercial city was built, it had to bear the risk of loss.

In his opinion, East Sea Real Estate’s actions were confusing.

“This price has already overflowed,” Chen Lei muttered.

Jian Ai couldn’t help but smile. She looked at Chen Lei and said, “Uncle Chen, don’t worry. This piece of land isn’t for me to earn money!”

“Oh?” Chen Lei raised his eyebrows slightly as if he didn’t understand what Jian Ai meant.

Jian Ai smiled playfully. “Uncle Chen, remember to follow the news about East Sea Real Estate.”

She even wanted to keep him in suspense?

Chen Lei was happy to see that. He smiled and nodded. “Alright, Uncle Chen will see what you’re up to again!”

After the auction ended, the eighth piece of land, which the Jian Group, Century Group, Hongxiang Group, and all the real estate companies in Baiyun City had their eyes on, landed with East Sea Real Estate.

The price of two hundred million yuan was shocking. No one knew what East Sea Real Estate wanted to do with this piece of land. They were willing to spend such a huge sum.

Lu Youcai was the most vexed person. The duck in his mouth had flown away. The Hongxiang Group had tightened their belts to squeeze out two hundred million yuan of liquidity for this piece of land. In the end, they had worked for nothing.

“We really can’t underestimate East Sea Real Estate!” Lu Youcai gritted his teeth.

Initially, East Sea Real Estate had caused a little commotion in Baiyun City in the past two years. They were only carrying out some large projects, and the new projects were all on a small to medium scale.

Over time, Hongxiang neglected East Sea Real Estate as a competitor.

Now that Jian Ai had returned, she snatched a piece of fat meat from their mouths and instantly woke Lu Youcai up.

“M Group has many assets under its name. Two hundred million yuan is just the annual fee for one hundred members of the Shuiyun Club or the annual profit Yun Buyao brought to Rose Entertainment alone. How can you compete with them?” Jian Changsheng exposed the secret.

Hongxiang Group had spent a lot of effort to fork out two hundred million yuan, but to East Sea Real Estate, there were too many siblings from the same mother. Each subsidiary company could fork out a small sum to gather two hundred million yuan easily.

“CEO Jian, it’s not that I want to say this, but if you continue to leave East Sea Real Estate alone, sooner or later, they will climb over the Jian Group!” Lu Youcai sowed discord and wanted to drag the Jian Group down with him.

How smart was Jian Changsheng? How could he be used by Lu Youcai?!

Moreover, if other companies had this momentum, Jian Changsheng wouldn’t have let them develop to this extent. He would have used methods to suppress them.

However, this company belonged to his daughter, so Jian Changsheng naturally wouldn’t do anything. Moreover, if someone couldn’t help but want to do something harmful to Xiao Ai, Jian Changsheng wouldn’t sit back and do nothing.

Seeing Lu Youcai’s scheme, Jian Changsheng looked at him silently and said indifferently, “You can’t touch East Sea Real Estate, and neither can I!”

“CEO Jian, are you afraid of them?” Lu Youcai frowned, but he was thinking about what Jian Changsheng meant.

Jian Changsheng retracted his gaze and said, “If you listen to me, Hongxiang will be fine. Otherwise… bear the consequences.”

With that, Jian Changsheng strode away and walked toward Jian Ai.

Lu Youcai didn’t understand what Jian Changsheng meant.

Of course, he understood what it meant on the surface. Jian Changsheng was reminding him he couldn’t touch East Sea Real Estate.

But why? What was the reason?

Lu Youcai could not understand!

Jian Ai and Bai Zhou came out of the city hall and were standing by the roadside, waiting for Chi Yang to pick them up.

“We’ve obtained the land. Everything will proceed according to the original plan,” Jian Ai said to Bai Zhou.

Bai Zhou nodded. “I listed this project as an S-level project of the company. The hotel project will be completed soon. Next, the company’s focus will be on this project. When the project is completed, I’ll talk to Chairman Chen.”

Jian Ai couldn’t help but smile. “Uncle Chen was stunned by me today. He doesn’t know what we’re going to do.”

Bai Zhou also smiled. “I reckon that once the news of today’s auction is out, the entire Baiyun real estate world will guess what we’re up to.”

“Let them guess.” Jian Ai put on her sunglasses and looked at Chi Yang’s car not far away. “Chi Yang is here.”

“Xiao Ai!”

At this moment, Jian Changsheng’s voice sounded from behind. Even though they had not seen each other for two years, Jian Ai could still tell that it was his voice.

Jian Changsheng stopped in front of her.

Bai Zhou frowned slightly as if he was very unhappy with Jian Changsheng’s uninvited approach. Just as he was about to speak, Jian Ai said to him, “Get in the car and wait for me.”

Bai Zhou paused and nodded. He sized up Jian Changsheng before getting into the car.

Jian Changsheng looked at Jian Ai and smiled. He slowly said, “When did you come back?”

“If there’s anything, just say it.” Jian Ai couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with him. She looked at Jian Changsheng and said, “I don’t have time to chat with you here. We have nothing to talk about.”

“Xiao Ai, don’t be like this.” Jian Changsheng’s expression was pleading. “Can’t you talk to me properly?”

“Heh…” Looking at Jian Changsheng, Jian Ai couldn’t help but sneer. She then said, “I’ve already told you that night two years ago. Mr. Jian is a sensible person. Don’t tell me you didn’t understand?”

“I didn’t mean that, Xiao Ai…” Jian Changsheng was anxious and speechless.

Facing Xiao Ai’s iron wall, Jian Changsheng felt unprecedented powerlessness.
