Chapter 17: Won, but not completely

After Ning Fan left, the other CEOs who came to participate in the land bidding exchanged greetings with Ning Shu before entering the auction.

At this time, quite a few people had gathered inside.

Many people also greeted Ning Fan.

"Boss Ning, long time no see. I heard you opened a new company. What are your current plans?"

"Boss Ning, you are interested in the land. Do you have any new ideas?"

Many people thought that Ning Fan would be depressed for a while after being expelled from the family.

But I didn’t expect Ning Fan to open a new company so soon.

They also heard that half of the original senior executives of the Ning Group followed Ning Fan.

With such a strong team, it is only a matter of time before the company develops.

It’s never a bad idea to make friends early!

Ning Fan was already accustomed to these questions and simply answered them with a few perfunctory remarks.

"I haven't decided yet whether to go into real estate development. I'll see later!"

"But there is certainly a chance for cooperation!"

During the conversation, Ning Shu and He Tan also came in.

Just like before, the people who were just beside Ning Fan quickly adjusted their direction and surrounded Ning Shu.

Ning Shu also enjoyed the flattery of these CEOs of major companies, and would cast provocative glances at Ning Fan from time to time.

But soon everyone reacted and started whispering.

"Both Ning Fan and Ning Shu are here this time. It looks like the land of Phoenix Real Estate will probably be sold at a high price."

"Besides, Ning Shu represents the Ning Group. They are determined to get it. I'm afraid we can't compete with them for it."

"..."

A group of people began to worry again.

Originally it was just a small piece of land that I bought to make some money, but I didn't expect it to attract Ning Fan and Ning Shu.

Only the boss of Phoenix Real Estate couldn't stop smiling when he saw the two meeting for the first time.

Soon the auction will officially begin.

A woman wearing a cheongsam and with a gentle temperament slowly walked onto the stage.

"Hello everyone, I am this auctioneer, Qingyi."

"I will host this auction next."

"The land for this auction is transferred by Phoenix Real Estate, and the location is in Nancheng District, Donghai City..."

Soon, Qingyi finished introducing the information about the land. Although people who came here already knew about it, the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

"I declare the auction officially open."

As Qingyi's voice fell, the word "One Hundred Million" appeared on an LED screen behind her.

A middle-aged man was the first to raise his number plate.

"One hundred and ten million!" Qingyi quoted the price.

As soon as he finished speaking, another woman in a red cheongsam slowly raised her number plate.

"One hundred and twenty million!"

At first the prices skyrocketed.

It directly reached 200 million.

At this time, Ning Fan and Ning Shu did not take any action.

The CEOs of other companies who were watching the two were also puzzled.

Seeing that Ning Fan did not take any action, Ning Shu sat calmly in the chair, glancing at Ning Fan from time to time.

"How much is his office building mortgaged for?"

"Two hundred million was mortgaged." He Tan said quickly.

This is why Yin Jinghuan would rather sell it to Ning Fan at a low price than use it as collateral to the bank, because the price was too low.

Ning Shu slowly narrowed his eyes after hearing this.

"That is to say, on the surface, the amount of money they can take out now should be more than 300 million."

"They extorted 800 million from us."

"Excluding the time he spent and the money he spent on purchasing materials, there should still be 400 million left."

“What is the market value of this land?”

"Four hundred million." He Tan replied.

"There's no rush. Let them shout for a while." Ning Shu smiled slightly.

At this time, the price has reached 250 million.

Qingyi began to bid: "Two hundred and sixty million per time."

"Two hundred and sixty million twice." "Three hundred million!" Ning Fan suddenly spoke.

"Three hundred million!" Qingyi's eyes lit up, "Three hundred million once."

At this time, He Tan raised the number plate at Ning Shu's instruction.

"Three hundred and ten million." Qingyi's gaze instantly fell on Ning Shu.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fan raised it again.

"Three hundred and twenty million."

Seeing Ning Fan and Ning Shu competing with each other, the other bosses present put down the numbers in their hands silently one by one.

"If these two start fighting, I'm afraid we won't have much of a chance."

"Yeah, competing with them is asking for trouble."

"Guess who will get this piece of land?"

Everyone was silent for a moment.

"Hard to say."

"Behind Ning Shu is the Ning Group."

"But none of us knows how much money Ning Fan has."

In this way, the price soared all the way to 400 million.

Ning Shu turned around and looked at Ning Fan.

"Ning Fan, this should be your limit, right?"

“Even if you take over the land, I’m afraid you won’t have the money to develop it later.”

Ning Fan sneered: "You probably don't have much liquid funds left?"

"Wanxin Group's project has already begun."

"With so much money being drawn to develop new projects at this time, aren't you afraid that Wanxin's project will be stranded?"

"Humph!" Ning Shu snorted coldly after Ning Fan hit a sore spot. "This is not something you should worry about."

"You should just worry about yourself."

Ning Shu was very proud at this moment.

Ning Fan was willing to mortgage his office building in order to acquire this piece of land.

But if Ning Fan was not allowed to take it, even if he used the remaining money to buy back the office building, he would still lose 100 million yuan.

He would be happy if he could make Ning Fan lose money.

At this time, He Tan raised the sign again.

"Four hundred and thirty million." Qingyi said, her eyes fell on Ning Fan.

However, this time Ning Fan did not lift up the number plate, but put it down upside down.

This means that Ning Fan gave up the bidding.

"Four hundred and thirty million at a time."

"Four hundred and thirty million twice."

"Four hundred and thirty million three times."

Snapped!
"Four hundred and thirty million sold!" As Qingyi dropped the hammer, Ning Shu bought the land transferred by Phoenix Real Estate for four hundred and thirty million.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone congratulated Ning Shu.

"Congratulations, President Ning!"

"Congratulations, President Ning!"

"Boss Ning, I'm from a materials company. If your company needs materials for developing new projects, you can contact us."

After enjoying everyone's flattery, Ning Shu proudly came to Ning Fan.

"I said, without the Ning family, you are nothing."

"If you admit your mistake now, you will return all the money you took from the company."

"I can also plead with your grandfather on your behalf and let you return to the family."

During this period, he asked He Tan to check the previous financial statements of Ning Group.

But no matter how they investigated, they couldn't find any evidence against Ning Fan.

Hearing this, Ning Fan just found it funny: "Aren't you afraid that I will come back and take your place?"

Ning Shu's face darkened, and his teeth chattered with anger. "Okay, I'll see how long you can keep pretending."

Drop drop!
Suddenly, Ning Fan's cell phone rang.

Ning Fan ignored Ning Shu and turned around to answer the phone.

I heard Shen Xi's voice on the phone.

"President, everything has been done. We are just waiting for you to come over and sign."
