New Year's Day 2004.

An auction hall in the provincial capital of Guizhou Province.

One person after another who qualified for land auction began to enter the market.

Those who are qualified to enter the market to participate in land auctions are basically strong group bosses. After all, the starting price of this 280 acres of land is as high as 130 million yuan. If there is no capital, even the door of the auction hall cannot be entered.

"Mr. Long, your Longsheng Real Estate has won a large amount of land in Langdong, which is probably enough for your group to develop for ten or eight years. Why are you still interested in coming to participate in this auction?"

"Mr. Zhao, isn't your Jinhua Real Estate the same? You also won a lot of land in Xixiangtang, but aren't you here to participate in this auction?"

"Mr. Long, we are different. Langdong is now developing in large quantities, and the focus of development in the next few years will be there. Unlike Xixiangtang, there will be no hope of development within at least a few years, so we have to bid for this land!"

"Mr. Zhao was joking. It will take a while for the development of Xixiangtang to happen sooner or later. Your Jinhua Real Estate has hoarded so much land there. Isn't it just that I have seen this?"

"You can't hide anything from you, Mr. Long. The pressure to compete with you is not too great!"

"Mr. Zhao, don't be humble. Our Longsheng Real Estate has invested too much in Langdong. The funds are not as sufficient as your Jinhua Real Estate. If you compete with you, I will be under great pressure!"

The two people who spoke were Long Sheng Real Estate's boss Long Sheng, and the other was Zhao Jinhua, the boss of Jinhua Real Estate. They were both famous figures in the provincial capital real estate industry.

While chatting, the two watched the bidders entering the venue one after another.

"Mr. Zhu from Fuxing Real Estate is here, Mr. Fu from Zhongyuan Real Estate is here, and even Mr. Zhou from Shiqiang Real Estate is here. It seems that today's auction will be very fierce!" Zhao Jinhua sighed as the bosses entering the market.

Long Sheng next to him nodded and said, "It's not just them, Mr. Zhao, look again. Next to Mr. Zhu is Mr. Chen from Marriott Group, the one next to Mr. Fu is Mr. Wu from Lihua Group, and the one next to Mr. Zhou is Mr. Wang from Century Group. They are all very powerful bosses. It's really difficult to win this land today!"

Except for Long Sheng and Zhao Jinhua, everyone else sat together and chatted in groups after coming in. The main topic was naturally today's auction.

After all, they are both bosses with a net worth of billions, and they generally have acquaintances in such occasions.

The only exception is Liu Xiahui. After entering the venue, he looked at him with a dark look, and everyone was strangers.

There is no way, Liu Xiahui rose too quickly, and although he founded the Liu Group in the provincial capital, his current market is still in Guangdong Province and has little strength in Guangxi Province.

Therefore, it is normal not to know the bosses present with a net worth of billions.

However, if you didn't know each other before, you will definitely know each other in the future.

Today I came to participate in the auction. In addition to being extremely optimistic about the prospects of this land, Liu Xiahui also has another purpose, which is to get to know these bosses with a net worth of billions.

Connections must be established slowly.

...

There are many people who have the same ideas as Liu Xiahui.

Those who are qualified to participate in this extremely high-end auction are all wealthy people with a net worth of billions.

Therefore, while many bosses come to participate in the auction, they will also bring their optimistic juniors to see the world. If there is any junior who can remember the big guys present, it will be considered successful.

Because everyone has the same idea, although there are only 18 people who are eligible to participate in the auction, there are 33 people entering the auction hall.

At least 15 bidders brought their juniors into the venue.

Fu Sihai, who was sitting next to Liu Xiahui, was one of the younger generations. He was originally from his father Fu Zhong.

As the prince of Zhongyuan Real Estate, Fu Sihai has gradually begun to take over under the arrangement of his father. Currently, Fu Sihai is fully responsible for a development project of Zhongyuan Real Estate in Langdong.

This time, Fu Sihai followed his father to participate in land auctions, on the one hand, to broaden his horizons, and on the other hand, to make friends with similar status.

No matter what industry you are in, fighting alone is the stupidest.

As the saying goes, a hero helps three fences and three stakes, so there is no need to say much about the importance of connections.

After Fu Sihai sat down, he noticed Liu Xiahui sitting next to him.

"Brother, I think you have a bit of a dating. Who are your elders?"

"My elders are not here. My name is Liu Xiahui. I came on behalf of the Liu family group. How dare you ask me, do you have a great name?"

"My name is Fu Sihai. My father is Fu Zhongyuan, the boss of Zhongyuan Real Estate. He is the one who talks to people next to him!"

"It turns out that he is the prince of Central Plains, he is so respectful!"

"Brother Liu, you are laughing!"

Both of them chatted with the purpose of making friends, so naturally they started calling brothers and brothers before they chatted for a long time!

"Brother Liu, your parents really value you. You actually have to come alone in such an important occasion?" Fu Sihai said in amazement.

Liu Xiahui didn't explain, but just smiled and said, "It's okay, my parents don't care much about me!"

Fu Sihai nodded and asked again: "Brother Liu, which industry is your Liu Group's main business?"

Liu Xiahui said: "The main business in the catering industry. The current focus of the group's development is in Guangdong Province, so there is not much presence here in the provincial capital!"

Fu Sihai suddenly realized and said, "No wonder, I said why I haven't heard the name of your Liu Group? I thought I was ignorant!"

Liu Xiahui laughed and said, "The main reason is that our Liu Group is small in size!"

Fu Sihai smiled and said, "Brother Liu, don't be humble. Those who can enter this auction hall today are all billionaires with billionaires. Since you appear here, it means that your Liu Group has this strength!"

Liu Xiahui smiled, but did not deny this fact.

Just as many auction guests were chatting in groups of three or three, the auction host finally appeared.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome everyone to participate in today's auction. My name is Pang Guangsheng, a national registered auctioneer. My registration number is XXXXXX. Today's auction is hosted by me. I am very happy to serve you. I hope my service can bring good luck to everyone here."

The auctioneer Pang Guangsheng is a middle-aged man in his forties. He looks gentle and wears a pair of myopic glasses. He only heard him continue: "Today's auction only has one item, that is, a 280-acre land use right in Qingxiu District. I hope all bidders will bid enthusiastically."

"According to the relevant provisions of Article 49 of the Auction Law, I will read out the auction rules and precautions before the auction begins."

When Pang Guangsheng read out the "Auction Rules", all the bosses below listened attentively.

Although everyone is not interested in the "Auction Rules" that follow the script, even if you act, you have to listen attentively, which is also a kind of respect for the auctioneer.

It was Liu Xiahui's first time attending an auction, and he was listening carefully.

Pang Guangsheng read out the Auction Rules and added: "In order to ensure the smooth progress of this auction, I will make the following special explanation on the auction rules:

1. Please consciously maintain the auction order and do not make loud noises, otherwise you have the right to ask them to leave.

2. Bidders shall not collude with each other, shall not monopolize or manipulate prices, and shall not hinder other bidders from bidding. Otherwise, they shall have the right to order them to leave the market and the deposit paid shall not be refunded.

If his actions cause damage to national interests or damage to the rights and interests of others, we must also hold him liable for economic compensation.

3. I will carry out this auction in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Auction Law of the People's Republic of China, adopting the method of increasing the price and implementing the principle of winning those with higher prices.

4. At the beginning of the auction, I will quote the starting price. Any bidder who responds to this price can raise the license plate in his hand. Please be higher than your head when raising the sign.

5. When someone responds to the starting price, I will increase the price by a certain increase. I will give you a clear reminder of this increase during the quotation process.

6. When two or more bidders at the same price raise the license plate, the auctioneer has the right to confirm the person who holds the license plate first.

7. When the highest price in the whole market appears, I still have to give other bidders three chances to increase the price. I will express it in this way: the first, the second, the third.

If no one raises the price after three chances, I will knock the hammer in my hand to show the transaction. Once the hammer is knocked, the transaction price has legal effect. No one has the right to repent, nor can I overturn and change my transaction price, otherwise I will bear legal responsibility.

8. After I knock the hammer, I will announce the buyer of the lot on the spot. Please sign the "Auction Transaction Confirmation Letter" on the spot and pay the company the payment and commission in accordance with relevant regulations."

Speaking of this, Pang Guangsheng asked: "Do you have any objections to this?"

After waiting for a few seconds, no one was talking. Pang Guangsheng said loudly: "Since everyone has no objection, then I will announce now that the auction has officially begun!

The only lot in this auction is starting at 130 million yuan, and each price increase shall not be less than 100,000 yuan.”

Finally it began, Liu Xiahui was excited. He not only wanted to take down this land, but also officially debuted in front of all the big guys with a net worth of billions.

"One Thirty-one hundred million!"

"Marrior Chen of Marriott Group has bid 130.1 million yuan!"

"One Thirty Thirty Thirty Thirty Thirty Thirty Thousand!"

"Mr. Wu from Lihua Group offers 130.3 million yuan!"

"One Thirty-five million!"

"Mr. Wang of Century Group bids 130.5 million!"

After Mr. Chen of Marriott Group was the first to bid, people kept raising bids, and the auctioneer Pang Guangsheng also made sufficient preparations and knew the identities of the 18 bidders present.

Therefore, as long as someone quotes, he will point out the other party's identity.

In a blink of an eye, under the bidding of several group bosses, the auction price quickly rose to 131.8 million.

At this time, Fu Sihai said to Liu Xiahui: "Brother Liu, do you see that?"

Liu Xiahui was feeling the atmosphere of the auction. When he heard Fu Sihai ask this, he said in confusion: "What do you see?"

Fu Sihai smiled and said, "Look at the groups that are now competing for, mainly dealing in hotels, shopping malls, entertainment parks, etc. The groups that really play real estate development have not yet made a quote!"

While trying hard to recognize people, Liu Xiahui said, "I really don't know these things. I didn't know any of the group leaders here before I came to the auction!"

"Assing more business activities, you will naturally get to know each other. Just like this time, Brother Liu, you come to this auction, don't you know all the group bosses here!"

"That's right!"

"Look, Mr. Zhao from Jinhua Real Estate has made a bid!"

Liu Xiahui looked in the sound and saw the boss of Jinhua Real Estate raise a bid and say, "133 million!"

It suddenly raised more than one million, which made the previous groups that were slowly competing for 100,000 and 200,000 can't help but calm down.
