Chapter 373 (2/2)

Is that a village? Cheng Yu and the others went over a few small hills and unexpectedly saw a village in the distance. This made Cheng Yu a little surprised.

Cheng Yu frowned. He wanted a place where there are not many people, but with the village here, wouldn't it be troublesome if he wanted to move the soil?

Hehe, there are indeed a few villages nearby, but they are not in this wasteland, so you can rest assured. Liu Hai explained with a smile.

So that's how it is? So, there is a boundary between this place and the village? Cheng Yu asked.

Yes

Un, that's good. This place is not bad. I'm rather satisfied. I wonder how much it would cost? As long as the villages were not in the wasteland, it would be fine. Although the wasteland was a bit desolate, Cheng Yu wasn’t here to explore it.

This... Mr. Cheng, there are some things you may not have understood. In order to promote the development of Yunhai City, this piece of land has been on sale online for several months. Currently, several companies are bidding, and the deadline for bidding is in ten days. If Mr. Cheng does not raise this price now, you might miss this opportunity. Liu Hai explained with a smile.

Bidding? How much is it now? Cheng Yu said in surprise. He had asked Zhao Minglong about it a few months ago. At that time, no one wanted to buy this land, but now, the auction was already going on.

Zhao Minglong was also a bit surprised. He really didn't know about this. After all, this wasn't part of his management, so he couldn't constantly pay attention to this.

The highest price is already at 11 billion Liu Hai said.

11 billion? What is the starting price? Didn't you say 6 billion? Cheng Yu said with a bit of a surprise. Previously, Zhao Minglong told him that this place was only 6 billion, but now the price has already reached 11 billion. This price is rising way too fast!

It's like this. Two years ago, there was a foreign businessman who wanted to buy the land for 6 billion, but in the end, no agreement was reached, so the land was left behind. However, the current prices are no longer the prices from two years ago. There are many entrepreneurs who have set their eyes on this land. The starting price is 9 billion now, increasing every 100 million every time. Liu Hai explained.

He really didn't know much about this land, and he only heard the news about it in the past. He didn't want it, so how could he know about it?

So that's how it is? But there are still 10 days left, can I directly buy it? Cheng Yu said after some thought.

After all, it was not easy to find another suitable large piece of land. It was already so far away from the city, and if he were to search for another place, he would probably be out of the city's range.

Ugh… This… Then how much is Mr. Cheng planning to pay? Liu Hai was in a bit of a dilemma. This sort of public auction wasn't something that he could decide easily, but he really wanted to see what the other party would offer.

12 billion? Cheng Yu thought for a moment. An additional billion should be more or less enough. The starting price was 9 billion, and it only increased by 2 billion till now, 1 billion isn't a small amount.

This... Mr. Cheng, I'm afraid I can't make this decision, why don't you wait for a few more days. Maybe Mr. Cheng will be able to get this land at a cheaper price in a few days. Hearing this price, Liu Hai was slightly dissatisfied.

Then what price does Director Liu think that will allow me to directly buy the land? Cheng Yu obviously knew that the other party thought the price was too low.

This... Please forgive me, Mr. Cheng. Mayor Zhao is here today, so I cannot explain it clearly. This auction is really hard to say. If the price is too low, the government would definitely be unhappy, but if the price is too high, the merchants would definitely be unwilling as well. So I really can't tell you the price, so I'm sorry, and I hope Mr. Cheng can follow the procedure since it's only ten days. I believe that with Mr. Cheng's determination and financial resources, he will definitely be able to take down this land. Although Liu Hai didn't know Cheng Yu's identity, he was definitely a very rich person. Otherwise, he wouldn't offer 1 billion more.

Moreover, the other party clearly had a close relationship with the mayor. Even if he could eat it, he wouldn't dare to eat Cheng Yu in front of the mayor. So it was better to be honest.

14 billion Cheng Yu said.

Hiss… Hearing this number, everyone took a deep breath, even Wu Chang was surprised, how could Young Master Yu have so much money?

Liu Hai was also shocked. He jumped another 2 billion in one go. He is acting as if this is 20 yuan and more could be added at any time. Also, Cheng Yu's initial plan did not seem to be to commercialize the land.

He really couldn't understand why he was spending so much money on a plot of land for private use. Could it be that he wanted to build a manor? But spending ten billion just to buy land? This price was simply too outrageous.

I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, but this is really not a matter of money. The auction can’t be closed just because I said it would be closed. The mayor know’s about this matter very well, so I hope that Mr. Cheng would not make things difficult for me. To be honest, Liu Hai was indeed scared by the other side's aura, but he really couldn't do it.

That's right, Little Yu, you should calm down a bit. It's only ten days. You've already waited for so long, don't tell me you care about these ten days? Although Cheng Yu might really have that much money, but he shouldn’t spend it that way even if he had the money. This was 14 billion, a sum that others wouldn't even dare to think of in their lifetime.
