Chapter 2232: I'm Not Interested in Money!

Facing Zhao Fusheng's question, Wang Kai hesitated, as if pondering or calculating something.

After a long while, he explained to Zhao Fusheng: "Chairman, this question is very complex. I can only say that this piece of land has great potential for appreciation. Whether we develop it ourselves or sell it off, there will be profit to be made."

He paused, then smiled: "I mean, if we secure this land for four billion, within three years, I guarantee we'll make money."

"And if the price is a bit higher?"

Zhao Fusheng asked casually.

"Well..."

Wang Kai thought for a moment before replying: "Then it's very likely we'll have to develop the land ourselves, turning it into a commercial center, and cash out by leasing and selling office buildings. It's a long process, but the profits will certainly be substantial."

Zhao Fusheng nodded in satisfaction. He was very pleased with Wang Kai's answer.

To be honest, if Wang Kai had answered without hesitation, Zhao Fusheng might have had doubts. After all, someone who answers a question without thinking either has a well-thought-out plan or is talking nonsense.

And given the situation today, Wang Kai couldn't possibly have a well-thought-out plan.

So his hesitation made Zhao Fusheng very satisfied.

This was not a man who made rash promises.

"Old Wang, buy this land."

Zhao Fusheng said slowly to Wang Kai.

"Chairman, Vantone is determined to win. If we insist on bidding, the price will end up very high."

Wang Kai said to Zhao Fusheng.

He had to explain this issue to Zhao Fusheng in advance. Although Zhao Fusheng was the boss and the true master of Future Real Estate and even the Future Group, as the deputy general manager of Future Real Estate, he had to say these words.

Zhao Fusheng laughed. He was now truly satisfied with this deputy general manager.

Not satisfied with Wang Kai's ability, but with his attitude as a subordinate.

At any time, a qualified subordinate should inform his boss of the worst possible outcome and leave the decision to the boss.

Acting on one's own is not a sign of capability but of low emotional intelligence.

"It's fine."

Zhao Fusheng chuckled and said to Wang Kai: "You should know, I have more money than Pan Shiyi, so I can afford to lose, but he can't."

"Huh?"

Everyone who heard this was stunned.

At that moment, the auction resumed.

Other real estate companies joined in, and soon the land was bid up to 3.7 billion.

At this point, companies without sufficient strength had certainly withdrawn.

"3.73 billion!"

"3.78 billion!"

"3.8 billion!"

When Vantone Real Estate called out 3.8 billion, another company gave up.

In the hall, only Zhao Fusheng's side had not yet spoken.

"Chairman?"

Wang Kai looked at Zhao Fusheng.

But Zhao Fusheng said nothing.

On the other side, Pan Ren looked grimly toward Zhao Fusheng and his group. At this point, the bid was already 300 million higher than his initial expectation.

"President Pan, we..."

"Keep waiting!"

Pan Ren said in a deep voice. He had just contacted his father, who had given him the maximum price the group could accept. If it exceeded 4 billion, he was prepared to give up.

But even so, Pan Ren felt he should cause some trouble for Future Real Estate.

For some reason, looking at that young man, he felt particularly angry.

"4 billion!"

At that moment, Zhao Fusheng slowly raised his paddle and made a new bid.

"Holy shit!"

"Is this guy crazy?"

Everyone stared at Zhao Fusheng in surprise.

Was this his first time at an auction?

Who bids like that?

Most importantly, after making his bid, Zhao Fusheng glanced triumphantly toward Pan Ren.

Clearly, he was provoking the other party!

"Is this retaliation?"

"Of course. Don't forget, Future Real Estate was screwed over a few times before."

"Heh, getting interesting."

The onlookers were all enjoying the show.

Rivals are enemies—this holds true across all industries worldwide. Everyone loves to watch a spectacle, especially when they see the usually domineering Vantone Real Estate being outmaneuvered; they naturally feel schadenfreude.

Surrounded by the crowd, Pan Ren suddenly felt like a monkey in a zoo.

"Bastard!"

Looking at the man opposite, Pan Ren was burning with rage.

"President Pan, should we give up?"

At that moment, his assistant quickly reminded him.

After all, the company's psychological price was 4 billion; exceeding that would certainly invite accountability.

Most importantly, it was obvious the other side was baiting him. Even if he bid 5 billion, they would still raise the price. What if they suddenly stopped?

"Bid!"

Pan Ren was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"Huh?"

The assistant was dumbfounded, staring at Pan Ren in shock.

"President Pan..."

"Add ten million!"

Pan Ren looked at his assistant and said word by word.

The assistant nodded helplessly and raised his paddle.

"4.01 billion! 4.01 billion!"

The auctioneer was already getting excited!

This was a scene not seen in a long time—two companies clearly locking horns!

"Heh."

Zhao Fusheng didn't even bother to look; he directly raised his paddle.

"4.05 billion!"

In that instant, Pan Ren's face turned ashen.

He hadn't expected that guy to be so resolute!

"What now?"

"Add more!"

Pan Ren gritted his teeth and was about to speak, but his assistant stopped him: "President Pan, we can't add any more. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain to the chairman."

The assistant was his confidant, sent by Pan Shiyi, and naturally knew Vantone Real Estate's bottom line.

"Bastard!"

Pan Ren was nearly furious. Where the hell did this guy come from?

"4.05 billion first call! 4.05 billion second call!"

The auctioneer was shouting loudly.

Just then, the company that had given up earlier suddenly raised its paddle.

"4.1 billion!"

Oh!

Zhao Fusheng was startled and glanced over in surprise.

He hadn't expected an unexpected contender to appear.

Wang Kai and the others were also surprised.

But then, something even more surprising happened.

Zhao Fusheng raised his paddle.

"4.2 billion!"

Boom!

The entire auction hall erupted!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhao Fusheng.

Even Pan Ren was stunned.

He suddenly realized that perhaps the man had never intended to toy with him. From the very beginning, he had planned to take this land, no matter how much he bid, the result would be the same.
