Chapter 68 The Crazy Continues
"Nine...nine hundred million! Mr. Edie bid nine hundred million!"
The bosses on the scene took another breath after hearing the price. Even though they had been prepared after the last round of bidding, their heartbeat would still speed up after hearing the terrifying number of nine hundred million.
Even in the state, it was difficult to get a piece of land at such a terrifying price. Such a price was enough to become the land king price of an island. Many of the boss presents were worth less than 900 million.
"Nine hundred million?"
Martin James squinted at the stage. His eyes were complicated.
" Mr. Edie bid nine hundred million, nine hundred million for the first time!" The host on the stage made his voice hoarse and his face flushed.
This host has hosted many auctions, but he has never experienced such a terrifying land price. This was nine hundred million!
"Nine hundred million for the second time! Is there anyone higher than nine hundred million?!!!" The host yelled while looking at Martin James. He also said this to Martin James. After all, only Martin James can continue to bid.
Martin James thought for a moment, then said, "No one is higher than nine hundred million."
After speaking, Martin James sat down directly.
Mr. Edie, who was still smiling, saw Martin James sat down. The corner of his eye suddenly twitched.
"Hey, you ...... you! Do not sit down!" Mr. Edie quickly towards Martin James roared.
"What, should I bid nine hundred million to buy the land? I am not that mad." Martin James faint replied.
After speaking, Martin James directly closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair.
When Mr. Edie saw Martin James close his eyes, he suddenly panicked, "Hey! Hey! Don't do it! You should keep bidding! Bid a price again! I will definitely not increase it!" Mr. Edie yelled anxiously.
"Stupid." Martin James closed his eyes, smiled, and shook his head.
"Nine hundred million for the third time! No one raises the price, I will drop!" The host on the stage raised the auction hammer in his hand, he was preparing to drop the hammer.
" Don't! Don't! Don't you dare drop that hammer! I withdraw my bid of 900 million! I withdraw! I let him! I'll let him win!"
Mr. Edie yelled eagerly. His bid was just to cheat Martin James. He didn't think about spending 900 million on this piece of land! There was only one result of spending nine hundred million to buy this piece of land, and that was that your grandma doesn't even know the loser!
"Sorry Mr. Edie, in accordance with the rules of the auction, the placard cannot be taken back." The host said. After speaking, the host dropped the mallet.
At this point, the price of this piece of land was nine hundred million dollars, which was bought by Mr. Edie. When the auction hammer fell, Mr. Edie turned pale and fainted suddenly.
"Mr. Edie! Mr. Edie, wake up!" As he saw that Mr. Edie fainted, Colin Baker quickly stepped forward to support Mr. Edie and then pinched his human acupuncture point.
Mr. Edie fainted. It caused an uproar in the audience. Everyone did not expect that Mr. Edie fainted by anger! Everyone did not expect that Mr. Edie originally wanted to pit Martin James, but he put himself in again.
"Mr. James, you actually made Mr. Edie faint!" Michael Bess laughed, "He won't be so angry, right?" Michael Bess said excitedly.
"Well, it's not illegal, right?" Martin James spread his hand.
"Of course, it's not illegal!" Michael Bess laughed and continued, "Mr. James, I didn't expect that you would repeat the same tricks and continue to cheat him, and this time it was even more ruthless, with a total of 900 million! " Michael Bess said excitedly.
"I am also very helpless. He insists on letting me cheat him. What can I do." Martin James helplessly spread his hand.
Martin James' original plan was to take this piece of land, but just after Horace Edie called for 900 million, Martin James thought about it carefully and it didn't make sense to call it up. After all, the purpose of acquiring land was to build a building to make money, and it was obviously a very bad loss to spend only 900 million to acquire land.
At that time, it would not only take time and energy to build houses and sell them. In the end, there was a loss, so why he would bother? Was it just for pride? Martin James doesn't think this was necessary. Therefore, Martin James finally decided to abandon this land and pit, Horace Edie, again. Isn't it a good thing?
On the other side.
After Colin Baker pinched Horace Edie for a while, Horace Edie woke up.
"Mr. Edie, you are awake!" When Colin Baker saw Mr. Edie awake, he was immediately happy.
"The land was taken by us?" This was the first sentence Horace Edie wakes up.
"Yes, Mr. Edie, that piece of land was owned by you for 900 million." Colin Baker was downcast.
Horace Edie spouted another mouthful of blood.
This land was 900 million. Horace Edie has spent 600 million before. It was very difficult to let him get another 900 million for a while. After all, this kind of industrial company has most of the money. They were all invested in the project, and it was difficult to spend a lot of money in one go.
Horace Edie had to think of many ways to get these nine hundred million in a short time.
"Mr. Edie, your body is important! We can make more money." Colin Baker reassured.
"Get off!" Horace Edie stood up abruptly. Then look at Martin James that was sitting on the right.
"Boy, why didn't you grab it?!" Horace Edie yelled hysterically.
"Mr. Edie, I can only say that you are too stupid. You have been scammed by me twice in a row at the same time and in the same place. This can only be blamed on yourself." Martin James spread his hand.
After a pause, Martin James smiled again, "600 million plus 900 million. That's 1.5 billion. Mr. Edie, you have a lot of money, two pieces of land worth less than 200 million, I think you just want to spend 1.5 billion." Then he shrugged.
"You!" Horace Edie trembled with anger.
"Mr. Edie calmed down!" Colin Baker continued to comfort him.
Although Horace Edie was angry, he couldn't help it at the auction scene.
"Boy, you wait for me! I will definitely settle this account with you!"
After Horace Edie said these words, he sat back heavily on his seat. Horace Edie has recovered from the coma, and the auction would continue.
"The next auction would be land C5 in the development zone, covering an area of 63 hectares, with a starting price of 7 million." said the host on the stage.
Regardless of its location or area, the land of C5 in the development zone was slightly different from the two pieces of land, but it was also one of Martin James' goals.
"I bid 50 million!" Martin James quoted directly.
After the price was quoted, Martin James looked at Horace Edie and said with a smile, "Mr. Edie, shall we still grab it?"
"Go!" After Horace Edie uttered a word, he closed his eyes.
After just two lessons, where does Horace Edie dare to ask Martin James? He absolutely believes that Martin James can bid hundreds of millions next time.
"Land C3 in the development zone, Chairman James bid 50 million!"
"50 million for the first time!"
"The second time for fifty million. Is there anyone bidding higher than fifty million?" The voice of the host on stage spread throughout the audience.
The whole auction was silent, and no one bid!
The reason was simple. They have just seen how aggressively Martin James bid up, and they have seen how terrible it was to ask Martin James. Plus, the price of 50 million was already expensive. So, no one dares to bid.
"For the third time at 50 million, land C3 in the development zone belongs to Chairman James!"
The host on the stage saw that no one raised the price, and he immediately dropped the hammer.
"Good." Martin James nodded in satisfaction.
50 million won this piece of land. It was worth it, and the process went very smoothly. Although the value of this piece of land was not as big as the two pieces just now, after the development of the gold sign of Gold Company, it was no problem to eventually earn 3.5 billion dollars.
Unlike the previous two plots. If you win at such a high price, you will lose money.
"Damn it!" Horace Edie saw Martin James so smoothly won the land, he naturally jealous endless, but he happens to be no way.
Next, the auction continued, and another 3 plots were auctioned.
Two of them were sold by Martin James for 40 million and 35 million respectively. The prices quoted by Martin James were the normal value of these places, and after Martin James quoted them, no one competed with Martin James.
There was also a piece of land because it was so small that it cannot be seen by Martin James, Martin James did not start, and was auctioned by a small local real estate company for 7.5 million.
During this period, Horace Edie had been leaning against the chair with a pale face and had not made another offer.
At this moment.
"Everyone, what will be auctioned next is the largest piece of land in this auction, the protected area No. 1, with a total area of 500 acres and a starting price of 50 million." The host said.
The largest piece of land before was only nearly 100 acres, this time it turned out to be a full 500 acres!
