Chapter 829 Lavish Spending
"Three hundred million, first time, three hundred million, second time!"
As the bids were called out, Li Tianxing turned to look at Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan was lowering his head, sipping tea, as if it had nothing to do with him. This made Li Tianxing agitated.
Chen Xuan wasn't bidding, and he didn't want to bid either. Whoever bid first would be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum!
In the end, Li Tianxing still gave in and loudly bid, "Five hundred million!"
The surroundings immediately fell silent.
The auctioneer breathed a sigh of relief, a happy smile on his face.
At five hundred million, they wouldn't lose money at least!
"This gentleman bids five hundred million!"
To drive up the price, the auction continued to encourage.
Everyone looked at Chen Xuan. There were quite a few people present with the financial capacity to bid, but Chen Xuan was probably the only one who dared to bid.
"Six hundred million!"
Chen Xuan put down his teacup and raised his paddle.
"Seven hundred million!" Li Tianxing sneered, a smirk on his lips.
"Eight hundred million!" Chen Xuan followed suit.
...
Then, to everyone's stunned gaze, the price of a piece of land originally valued at five hundred million quadrupled, reaching two billion!
Good heavens, that was two billion!
Truly lavish and rich!
So much money!
Rich people are so extravagant!
"If you have the guts, your Su family, keep bidding!"
Li Tianxing provocatively looked at Chen Xuan, while with his other hand, he was fiddling with walnuts, looking as if he had everything under control.
The two billion was Li Tianxing's final bid!
Everyone swallowed hard. The price had already reached two billion. Would Chen Xuan continue to bid?
Two billion had far exceeded the land's original value!
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.
This Li Tianxing was quite arrogant!
Li Tianxing thought Chen Xuan was scared and scoffed, "Chen Xuan, if you don't dare to bid, then quickly do a handstand and wash your hair! I'm still waiting to see your acrobatic performance!"
"Three billion!"
As soon as Chen Xuan uttered this, Li Tianxing's expression froze.
The people around gasped.
An increase of one billion at once! Ten billion was enough to buy two pieces of land this size!
"You brat, you're ruthless!"
Li Tianxing gritted his teeth. To be honest, he didn't have the guts to increase the bid by so much at once.
"No choice, who told our Su family to be rich!"
Chen Xuan said with a smile, as if even the air was filled with the scent of money.
"Fine, I want to see how much capital your Su family has!"
Li Tianxing saw the looks on everyone's faces, as if saying that the Li family had truly declined and was no match for the Su family. He gritted his teeth.
"Forty..."
Before Li Tianxing could even say "billion," Chen Xuan beat him to it, "Fifty billion!"
Li Tianxing's eyes widened instantly. Is your family running a bank, to bid like this!
The people around were so excited they almost jumped up, as if they had taken stimulants.
Many people's eyes were red, glistening with greed.
Such a scene of opulence and extravagant spending, rarely seen in a year!
They were fortunate to witness it once, and felt greatly honored!
"Patriarch Li, are you still bidding?" Chen Xuan looked at Li Tianxing.
Li Tianxing's face turned grim, he opened his mouth, his heart filled with indecision. But the next moment, Chen Xuan's words brought Li Tianxing to complete despair.
"If you're not bidding, then I will. Sixty billion!"
Wow!
The surroundings erupted in another uproar!
Li Tianxing's face turned green. You're actually bidding against yourself.
Following that, Chen Xuan's words made everyone hold their breath.
"Then let's make it a lucky number, sixty-six billion!"
No one was bidding, Chen Xuan was bidding for himself. Everyone present was stunned.
Even Li Tianxing felt that if he dared to speak, Chen Xuan would suppress him, making him feel a sense of awe and an unstoppable feeling.
Perhaps, the Su family had truly become irresistible!
"Li Tianxing, keep bidding! Bid again, even if you put up all your Li family's assets, I'll match it!"
Chen Xuan was domineering.
But Li Tianxing didn't dare to continue bidding. What if Chen Xuan bid the price higher and then suddenly stopped?
Wouldn't he become a fool, while Chen Xuan would only lose face once?
And if he bought this land at an exorbitant price, wouldn't he become the biggest laughingstock in the provincial capital?
In the end, reason triumphed over pride!
No, this price cannot be bid any higher!
"What if I give it to you? My Li family doesn't care about this land!"
Li Tianxing snorted coldly.
On the surface, he appeared nonchalant, but in reality, Li Tianxing felt immense pain. If he could have secured this land, it would have been of great benefit to him!
"Stop pretending, you poor pretender!"
Chen Xuan said contemptuously.
Li Tianxing's anger flared up to the sky.
He, the head of the Li family, a prominent family in the provincial capital, with a net worth of hundreds of billions, was actually called a poor pretender!
If someone called him a poor pretender on any other day, he wouldn't have taken it to heart, because he knew the Li family was rich, and those people were talking nonsense. But with Chen Xuan saying it, he felt as if he was truly like a poor pretender, naturally becoming anxious.
But who told him that he couldn't secure the land?
In the end, the auctioneer excitedly announced that the land belonged to the Su family!
In the subsequent auctions, the Su family embarked on a buying spree, shining brightly like the summer sun. In contrast, the Li family was suppressed everywhere, unable to even lift their heads.
Many people sighed that the Su family was rising impressively, and the Li family had to bow their heads for it!
Soon, the auction concluded. Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi received the contract for Plot No. 1 and walked out. They then saw Li Tianxing, with a dark expression, also walking out.
"Patriarch Li, I wonder what good items you managed to auction for?"
Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
"You... what business is it of yours what I auctioned?"
Li Tianxing ground his teeth.
Just now at the auction, every time he wanted to bid on something he liked, Chen Xuan would bid it up. Although Li Tianxing was also wealthy, Chen Xuan's momentum was too strong, suppressing Li Tianxing to the point where he didn't dare to bid.
Coming over now to ask this, wasn't this rubbing salt in the wound?
Damn it!
Chen Xuan chuckled, "Patriarch Li, I auctioned many things. Alas, many of them are useless. If you need them, I can give you two."
"Tch, who do you think you are looking down on? I need you to give me something?"
Li Tianxing was also a prominent figure, so he naturally wouldn't take this advantage.
"Let me tell you, Chen Xuan, don't be arrogant. Be careful of getting hit by a car when you go out." Li Tianxing said venomously.
"Heh heh... Li Tianxing, on the contrary, I see you're facing bad luck. You might encounter big trouble. Be careful in the future."
Chen Xuan glanced at Li Tianxing's complexion and said indifferently.
This time, Chen Xuan was not lying. Li Tianxing's complexion was dark, a true sign of impending misfortune.
However, Chen Xuan could understand. The investigation into Li Tianxing was almost complete, and they were just waiting to spring the trap. Li Tianxing was naturally facing bad luck!
"Nonsense, I, Li Tianxing, am in luck. My Fang family's high-end villa is about to hold a handover ceremony, and a large amount of capital will flow in. Isn't this good luck?"
Li Tianxing said proudly, "Also, Kyoto Su..."
At this point, Li Tianxing closed his mouth. He didn't plan to tell Chen Xuan about Su Ning's arrival yet, fearing he might slip up. He stopped talking.
"I don't think so," Chen Xuan shook his head.
