Returning from the Immortal World
Chapter 98: Whatever the Cost (Second Request Monthly Tickets)
Dark auction venue with eyes stuck on the projector. This is a video:
The waves sweep across the vast ocean, and the islands of star chess cloth are like inlaid gems. Flying eagles dive towards an island. The island is huge and covers dozens of square kilometres. Fluctuating mountains, lush trees, gorgeous bird floral scents, and colorful butterfly peak plays.
The highest peak in the centre of the island, a magnificent castle full of European flavors. A flat disk road separates three forks at the top of the hill, one to the castle, one to the nearby parking lot and one to the apron.
Overlooking the island, it is surprising to discover that nine hills stretch thousands of metres towards the sea, with a European-style pavilion at the end of each hill. Along the descent road of each hill, down to the sea, there is a private dock for passenger ships.
“Kowloon puke beads? ”
“How is that possible? ”
Tang Xiu's pupils kept contracting and an incredible light burst into his eyes. His body, at this moment, trembled slightly, his heart rushing like a raging wave.
Once upon a time, he also possessed an excellent feng shui treasure in the Immortal World. There is plenty of spirituality in the heavens and the earth and plenty of spirituality in the veins, where practicing is definitely half as powerful. And there, it's called the Kowloon Pearl Realm.
Video playback is over.
The lights of the entire auction hall turned back on, and the auctioneer smiled lightly: “This video that you see is the last thing we have in the auction today. Kowloon Island in the Pacific Ocean, his nearby island, South Bird Island, is 2,000 nautical miles from each other. ”
“This private island was originally owned by a European consortium owner. But unfortunately, just two and a half years after the island was developed, the owner of the consortium had to sell the private island for special reasons. It just so happens that our big owner of the auction has a good relationship with the owner of the island, which is why they entrusted us with the auction. ”
“Guests who are eligible to come to the Purple Blossom auction are real rich people in the country. I'm sure a lot of people will be interested in this feng shui land. So, I don't have much to say, the auction on this private island, and it starts now. ”
“It has a base price of 500 million, not less than 10 million at a time, and the bidding begins now. ”
As the auctioneer's voice went down, the hundreds of people attending the auction below all whispered. After all, it has to do with at least 500 million trades, all of which are rich, but 500 million is no small amount for them.
“The island is nice. ”
Miao Wentang had a few smiles on his face, but didn't mean to bid. He glanced at Tang Xiu, then turned to the other direction and looked at Shao Mingzhen and asked: “If I remember correctly, you are planning to buy a house abroad recently. Are you interested? ”
Shao Ming shook his head slowly for a moment of silence: "The bottom price of this private island is certainly not high. If you can take half a billion, even if you buy it and sell it again, you can make some money. But everyone knows the problem, so I don't think even a billion dollars is necessarily going to buy it. I'm not a millionaire, I can't compare to you. So let me start making a soy sauce punch! ”
Miao Wentang mutterly laughed: “If you really want to buy it, I can lend it to you. I can't get it out, billions of liquidity, but I can get it out. ”
Shao Ming chuckled: “Let me take a look first! ”
Tang Xiu stood up and walked to the corner behind the auction venue, dialing a set of numbers.
Starling City.
The town of Nangguan is near a villa of the King of Scenic Buildings. Chen Zhizhong, who just bought the villa, sits on his knees in the study, carefully practicing the work taught to him by Tang Xiu. He used to be a practitioner, but he practiced true qi, which is very different from the practice of immortality.
But...
Thousands of avenues, special destinations.
Because of previous foundations, he was trying to convert true Qi into true Qi.
“Bell...”
The phone suddenly rang, awakening Chen Zhizhong in training. Suddenly, his face revealed a certain amount of anger. He grabbed the phone and looked at the number that the electricity appeared to show. The anger on his face instantly disappeared without a trace. Instead, he was somewhat respectful and pressed the answer key:
“Master, are you looking for me? ”
“I need money, as much as possible. How much money can you mobilize in 10 minutes? ”
“ …… ”
Chen Zhizhong silenced for half a minute and kept thinking in his head. After half a minute, he said: “Around 3 billion. It's too tight, and if you could give me half a day more, I could get five billion, maybe more. ”
"I'll give you my account, and in ten minutes, I'll send three billion to my account," said Tang Xiu. ”
“Okay!”
Chen Zhizhong promised to stop practicing and started calling constantly.
Jingmen Island, auction venue.
Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang were having a private conversation together and suddenly noticed that Tang Xiu had left his seat, and the two were facing each other. Tang Xiu had just left her seat, went to make a phone call and came back to participate in the Millennium Ginseng bid.
“Brother Miao, is Tang Xiu going to bid again? Did he see the private island?” Shao Mingzhen's eyes sparkled with surprise and asked in a low voice.
Miao Wentong whispered, “It's very likely. Look at his serious expression, I don't think this thing is going to leave ten. But I really don't understand, at his age, why would he go to the Pacific to buy a private island, move to that island and live in isolation? ”
Shao Ming smiled bitterly: “I can't see through it, I can't see through it! Honestly, Tang Xiu's age and appearance give me a strong sense of contradiction. I have no idea how a young man, how he behaves, does what he does, doesn't have the attitude of a young man. Like a very intelligent man? ”
“He is a monster. ”
Miao Wentong covered the coffin and concludes.
Tang Xiu returned to his seat and waited quietly for the funds to arrive. Although he could see the different colors on Miao Wentang and Shao Ming's face, he did not explain much.
If the millennium ginseng is what he wants so badly, then he must have it on this private island. Even a robbery must be obtained.
“510 million. ”
Fat middle-aged with a flash of household image, the first to quote.
“520 million. ”
“550 million. ”
“ …… ”
In the last round of auctions, the number of bidders was considerably smaller than before, but there were also dozens who were constantly increasing the price. And the most cheerful offer was the fat middle-aged man in the gold chain. Seventy-eight minutes later, prices have climbed to 1,480 million.
“1.5 billion! ”
A little sweat appeared on the fat middle aged man's head, still yelling out loud.
“Two billion! ”
Another old man, old and rare, raised the sign in his hand and called out.
Fat middle-aged man suddenly turned his head, his angry eyes staring dead at the old man, gasping a few times, he called again: “2.1 billion. ”
At this price, only the old man and the fat middle-aged man still bid. The old man has no expression on his face, as if to ignore the anger of the fat middle-aged man, quote again: “2.2 billion. ”
“2.3 billion! ”
Fat middle-aged voices are a little hoarse, but they persist.
Yet!
He rejoiced that the old man shook his head silently and stopped quoting.
“Phew…”
Fat middle-aged man wipes off sweat on his forehead, his heart darkens and relaxes. He has actually reached the limit, and if he raises the price again, he has to give up.
The auctioneer smiled and looked in the blink of an eye and said with a smile: "Today the price of Kowloon Island has climbed to 2.3 billion. That is indeed a horrible number, but I think there should be others who have failed to do so. After all, a private island of dozens of square kilometres has been developed and, if used rationally, is absolutely a human paradise and belongs to its own kingdom. ”
“On Kowloon Island, there is no law in real life, and whoever owns Kowloon Island as a whole is the king of the land and the most powerful person. If the owners of Kowloon Island so wish, they can apply internationally for the establishment of a new State. ”
“It's a dream, it's paradise. I was wondering, is there anyone else willing to raise the price? Anyone else want to be the owner of Kowloon Island? ”
The entire auction hall became dead silent.
Everyone is watching each other. They were incited by the auctioneer's words and their emotions had been thoroughly mobilized, but they could not afford that much liquidity. Otherwise, it can have a serious impact on their careers and can hurt their bones.
Heartbeat!
But I can't help it!
This is the most authentic picture of their hearts.
Auctioneer Xiao Xiumei's face revealed a glimmer of disappointment, and despite the fact that the price of 2.3 billion had exceeded her expectations, she still hoped that the island would be sold at a higher price.
Fat middle-aged man, quite the opposite, smiled again on his face, even with a few points of pride, his eyes swept from the last old man he was bidding on, and his eyes subconsciously shrugged Tang Xiu.
“2.5 billion! ”
Tang Xiu's voice, echoed at the auction venue.
For a moment.
Everyone in the auction hall has a strange look. Nobody thought Tang Xiu, who couldn't even buy a thousand ginseng before, would bid on this private island and offer a price!
Does he have that much money?
How did he get so brave?
And...
Who is he?
One question, floating in the throbbing hearts of all.
Miao Wentong, Shao Mingzhen, even the purple one of the fairy wind bones sitting next to Tang Shu, was shocked by Tang Shuu's large pen. They looked at Tang Xiu incredibly, and I didn't expect Tang Xiu to come up with so much money!
Shao Mingzhen gently touched Miao Wentang and whispered: “You persuade him not to mess around here. The big boss behind this auction, it's awesome, we can't do anything about it. ”
