Chapter 567 Spending money like water
Du Qianqian looked at Zhou Qi seriously: "From a financial perspective, we may not be their opponent. Moreover, I just thought about it, this is very likely a trap. The He family suffered heavy losses before, and it is possible that they want revenge."
"The Li family did show up at the auction."
"But the news about investment cooperation is just a rumor and is not necessarily true."
"Without concrete documentation to support it and official confirmation, it's too risky to continue following this."
Du Qianqian's analysis is reasonable.
Is it really worth fighting to the death over something that is just a figment of your imagination?
Zhou Qi smiled slightly: "Even if this is a trap, we will never be the ones who fall into it in the end."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Qi raised the sign again.
"1.305 billion!" Five million more? That's too little.
Zhou Qi's previous performance was exciting, but this time his offer was puzzling. It only increased by 5 million!
This is not enough to intimidate the opponent. He Zhicheng and Tang Jiachen couldn't help but sneer. They kept watching Zhou Qi's movements.
Seeing Zhou Qi and Du Qianqian whispering nearby, he thought that he was short of funds and was making a last-ditch effort.
Tang Jiachen winked at He Zhicheng...
He Zhicheng straightened his suit, stood up, and said loudly, "Such a great opportunity, but you only add 5 million? You are so shameless. If you don't have money, don't try to be so arrogant!"
"I'll pay 1.4 billion!"
"If you dare, add more!" The audience immediately started to discuss. The high price of 400 million was already jaw-dropping. Everyone was discussing...
He Zhicheng's attitude was arrogant and provocative.
I don’t know whether he really wants to provoke Zhou Qi or is playing tricks and wants Zhou Qi to mistakenly think that this is a trap and withdraw from the bidding.
The situation became complicated.
No one knew what Zhou Qi would think, whether he would raise the price because of the provocation. "He is teasing you." Du Qianqian reminded.
"I see."
Zhou Qi nodded and asked, "What do you think?"
"I don't think I should pursue it any further."
Du Qianqian said: "It's already 1.4 billion, it's really too high."
"But it seems that this is far from touching their bottom line." Zhou Qi responded.
Du Qianqian was stunned when she heard this, then she realized and said, "Could it be that your original purpose was not to buy the land, but to consume their funds?"
"Didn't I tell you about this a long time ago?"
Zhou Qi smiled and looked at Du Qianqian. "What do you think, if I call out 2 billion, how will they respond?"
What? Two billion?
Before Du Qianqian could react, Zhou Qi had already raised his hand.
Du Qianqian's face turned pale instantly. It was crazy! She hurried forward to stop Zhou Qi. "No, no more..."
But Zhou Qi's voice had already resounded throughout the venue. "1.5 billion!"
1.5 billion? Du Qianqian stood there in a daze, at a loss.
"1.5 billion? Not 2 billion?" For a moment, I was completely unable to react.
When He Zhicheng heard Zhou Qi shout out 1.5 billion, his face immediately darkened. He thought Zhou Qi had reached his limit, but he didn't expect that he could add another 100 million, which surprised He Zhicheng.
Just as he looked at Zhou Qi, he happened to see Du Qianqian trying to stop Zhou Qi, and the complicated expression on her face - all this showed that Zhou Qi must have paid a considerable price to shout out this number.
The auctioneer's voice broke the silence: "1.5 billion, first bid, is there anyone willing to increase the price?"
He Zhicheng stared at it closely and raised the sign again: "1.51 billion!"
This was the first time Zhou Qi met He Zhicheng's gaze head-on. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if to say, "1.515 billion."
He Zhicheng's face suddenly turned ugly. Zhou Qi's smile was like a personal challenge to him. He clenched his teeth, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. "1.55 billion!"
"1.555 billion!" Zhou Qi responded.
"Sixteen billion!" He Zhicheng raised his voice.
"Sixteen billion and one hundred million." Zhou Qi shook his head slightly, his tone still calm.
As the price increase increased from five million to ten million, He Zhicheng began to doubt Zhou Qi's true financial resources.
Thinking back to the failure in the last auction, wasn't it because of a trick played by this pair of partners? Could it be the same trick again this time?
Thinking of this, He Zhicheng became even more annoyed. He thought this was a humiliation to himself and a trampling on his self-esteem.
"Since you want to play, let's play to the end!" He almost roared at the auctioneer: "1.7 billion!"
1.7 billion! When this astronomical figure was called out, everyone present was shocked. This was not just a contest of money, but also a showdown of will and determination between the two.
The He family is really wealthy and spends money like water.
"Seventeen hundred million! Is there anyone willing to pay a higher price? Seventeen hundred million... for the first time..."
The auctioneer's voice trembled with excitement.
1.7 billion!
Such an astronomical price was about to be born at this moment. As the host of the auction, he was filled with irrepressible excitement.
"Seventeen billion... the second time..."
At this tense moment, Zhou Qi slowly stood up.
Suddenly, everyone's attention was drawn to him.
Even the auctioneer paused his hammer, awaiting his next move.
He Zhicheng's face turned ugly. He gritted his teeth and said to Zhou Qi, "If you have the guts, keep raising the price. I don't believe you can raise it to 2 billion! Come on, just come on!"
But Zhou Qi ignored He Zhicheng's provocation and calmly said to the auctioneer, "No need to wait, please bring down the hammer."
The voice just fell,
Zhou Qi turned around, left his seat and walked towards the exit.
Seeing that Zhou Qi was really about to leave,
The auctioneer immediately announced: "1.7 billion, third time - sold!"
He Zhicheng laughed triumphantly and taunted Zhou Qi's departing back, "If you don't have the ability, don't try to be brave. If you can't afford to lose, you can only run away in disgrace."
"Such a small mind, such a narrow vision."
"I don't think Hualong Teng'ao has much future. It's better to close down as soon as possible."
Zhou Qi didn't even turn his head and walked straight to the door. Just when everyone thought he would leave, he suddenly changed direction and walked to the front desk.
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what he was going to do. Amid everyone's puzzled gazes, Zhou Qi walked straight to the VIP area where Li Zihong was, smiling and nodding to several important figures along the way.
After walking up to Li Zihong, he took out an exquisite business card from his pocket and handed it to Li Jiaxin next to him.
He said gently, "Ms. Li, this is the business card I promised to give you last time. I prepared one especially for you, please accept it."
Li Jiaxin took the business card and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Zhou Qi's action of handing over the business card stunned Li Jiaxin for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and took it with a smile.
