Chapter 566 Not worth mentioning
"Actually, it was because I didn't have a business card at the time," Zhou Qi explained.
Du Qianqian obviously didn't believe it.
"Are you trying to attract her attention on purpose? It seems like you succeeded, but judging from her reaction, she doesn't seem to be particularly interested in you. Are you regretting it now?"
Zhou Qi smiled.
"I thought she was pretty friendly."
Du Qianqian gave him a gentle rebuke with her eyes. "You really don't know how to please girls."
At the same time, on the other side of the scene, He Zhicheng was exchanging glances with the young man next to Li Jiaxin.
The man nodded slightly, and a smug smile suddenly broke out on He Zhicheng's face. He turned his head to look at the scene of Zhou Qi and Du Qianqian having an intimate conversation. He couldn't help but grit his teeth, cast a jealous glance, and then turned his face away.
At this moment, the host's voice penetrated the noise of the crowd. "Welcome all business elites to this auction."
"Since the province launched the reform, we have achieved remarkable results and won wide acclaim, which is a great encouragement to us and strengthens our determination to be confident in future development."
“We sincerely invite all sectors of society to pay attention to and support the development of Guang Province.”
“Now, please allow me the honor to introduce Mr. Li Zihong, an outstanding entrepreneur from Hong Kong, and his children, Mr. Li Jianan and Ms. Li Jiaxin.”
Li Zihong stood up with a smile and greeted the audience; Li Jianan and Li Jiaxin also stood up and saluted.
Their presence undoubtedly raised the level of the entire event. The official promotion was so grand that it was obviously intended to enhance the importance of this event. Even if they just sat quietly, it was enough to highlight the unique value of this auction.
Prior to this, the authorities had not announced the specific starting price of the Beicheng Riverside plot. Obviously, this was to create suspense.
Afterwards, the host gave a detailed introduction to Beicheng Linjiang, naturally only mentioning its benefits.
After some hype, everyone's curiosity was fully aroused. Finally, the host announced: "The starting price of the Beicheng Riverside plot is 200 million yuan!"
"Each bid increases by at least 5 million yuan." The scene suddenly exploded with discussions.
The starting bid was 200 million, with an increase of at least 5 million per round - for Beicheng Linjiang, this was an astronomical figure.
All this is because of the participation of the Li family, which made the originally unimaginable price become a reality.
The high price given by the authorities seems to further confirm the news that the Li family is about to make a large-scale investment in South Guangdong.
"Two hundred million!" the first bid sounded.
Everyone smiled at each other, knowing that the final winner would be either Hualong Teng'ao or the He family. No matter what the price was, even if it doubled, these two companies were able to take over.
"Two hundred and ten million yuan..."
Then someone else tried. However, at this moment, He Zhicheng lazily shouted "Three hundred million!"
For him, small-scale fighting is meaningless; he is determined to take Beicheng Linjiang.
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Qi.
He Zhicheng’s attitude is very clear: bystanders please be quiet, you are not qualified to participate in this game.
The previous bidder felt a little embarrassed. He had hoped to use this opportunity to showcase himself, but he did not expect the He family to be so direct.
The rest of those who were interested in participating also chose to remain silent, as continuing would only bring trouble upon themselves.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Qi, who shouted firmly: "Four hundred million!" Zhou Qi finally raised the sign, which made the onlookers excited.
"See, I told you it's going to be intense from the start, there's no need to warm up slowly," said one person.
"This doesn't give us any chance... really," another person complained.
As expected, the bidding entered a fierce stage from the beginning, and the two parties directly launched a fierce competition. The audience held their breath and waited, and no one dared to intervene in the fight between the two parties.
He Zhicheng looked at Zhou Qi coldly. He felt that Zhou Qi had no chance of winning. He and Tang Jiachen had a total of 2 billion in funds, and they also had the support of Li Jianan.
"Six hundred million!" Zhou Qi ignored He Zhicheng's gaze and immediately shouted out the price.
The people at the scene immediately became excited and talked about it in surprise: We thought the price would slowly increase from 5 million per jump, but we didn't expect it to increase by 200 million at once.
Then, "One billion!" a voice resounded throughout the venue.
"What? Did I hear it right? It's already one billion?" Some people couldn't believe their ears.
Not long after the auction started, the price had already soared to 1 billion. Even the onlookers were shocked by the rapid rise in the price.
He Zhicheng frowned, trying to keep himself calm, thinking back to his father's warning. He began to question whether Zhou Qi really had enough financial support.
At this time, Tang Jiachen whispered a few words to him. After listening, He Zhicheng cast a disdainful look in Zhou Qi's direction.
"1.2 billion!" He Zhicheng raised the price again.
Both He Zhicheng and Tang Jiachen had competed with Zhou Qi in bidding before.
Zhou Qi's current bidding strategy is similar to what Tang Jiachen had encountered in the past - quickly raising the price to scare off the opponent. But this tactic is already old hat for them.
This time, Zhou Qi did not bid immediately. To be more precise, he did not make a move.
The host of the auction is trying hard to liven up the atmosphere.
"1.2 billion, for the first time! Is there anyone willing to offer a higher price?"
He Zhicheng raised his lips slightly and said to Tang Jiachen, "Mr. Tang, you are right. He is just bluffing."
"We have seen through his mind."
"Zhou Qi has run out of tricks and has nothing else to do."
Tang Jiachen smiled slightly and responded: "His little tricks are not worth mentioning after seeing them once."
"He must be feeling very embarrassed right now."
He Zhicheng's smile became more obvious: "I think he will try again."
Tang Jiachen asked: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing more than a struggle before death. We have to fight with all our might." He Zhicheng said with a smile.
"Haha, I like the way you put it."
At this time, the host has started the countdown.
"1.2 billion, the second time..."
"Then, this lot will be sold for 1.2 billion..."
Just as the host was about to knock down the gavel, Zhou Qi's voice suddenly rang out: "1.25 billion!"
He Zhicheng was not surprised by Zhou Qi's second bid and immediately responded: "1.3 billion!"
Then, he turned to look at Zhou Qi and said sarcastically, "What, you have no money? Don't you want to try again? I haven't really tried yet."
Du Qianqian gently pulled Zhou Qi's arm and whispered, "He is imitating what you did before."
"It's indeed very low-level." Zhou Qi replied.
"So what are you going to do next? Are you going to continue to raise the price?"
