Chapter 100 - At All Costs

? In the dark auction venue, a pair of eyes stayed on the screen of the projector. Here is a video:

The turbulent sea and the dotted islands are like inlaid gems. The soaring eagle swooped down towards an isolated island. The isolated island has a large area, covering dozens of square kilometers. The rolling hills, the lush trees, the gorgeous fragrance of birds and flowers, and the play of colorful butterflies.

The highest peak in the center of the island, a majestic castle, full of strong European style. The flat winding road diverges into three forks at the top of the mountain, one leading to the castle, one leading to the nearby parking lot, and one leading to the apron.

Looking down on the isolated island, one will be surprised to find that nine hills stretch for a kilometer towards the sea, and at the end of each hill there is a small European-style pavilion. Along the downhill road of each hill, there is a private dock for berthing passenger ships all the way to the sea area.

"Nine Dragons Spit Beads?"

"How can it be?"

Tang Xiu's pupils kept shrinking, and an unbelievable light burst out from his eyes. His body was trembling slightly at this moment, and his heart was surging like a stormy sea.

Once, when he was in the fairy world, he also owned an excellent geomantic treasure land. The aura of heaven and earth is rich there, and the spiritual energy of the veins of the earth is abundant. Practicing there will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. And there, it is called "Nine Dragons Tuzhu Secret Realm".

Video playback ends.

The lights of the entire auction venue were turned on again, and the auctioneer smiled slightly: "The video you have seen is what we will auction for the last time today. Kowloon Island is located in the Pacific Ocean, and its adjacent island is Nanniao Island. The distance between them is two thousand nautical miles."

"This private island was originally owned by the owner of a European consortium. Unfortunately, the island has just been developed for two and a half years, and the owner of the consortium had to sell the private island for special reasons. It just so happens that the big boss of our auction has a good relationship with the owner of the island, so the other party entrusted us with the auction rights."

"The guests who are eligible to come to participate in the Bauhinia Auction are all real wealthy people in the country. I believe that many people will be interested in this treasured land of geomantic omen. So, without further ado, the auction of this private island, Start now."

"Its base price is 500 million, and each increase must not be less than 10 million. Now the auction begins."

As the auctioneer's voice fell, the hundreds of people who participated in the auction below all whispered. After all, this is related to a transaction of at least 500 million. Although they are very rich, 500 million is not a small amount for them.

"It's a nice island."

Miao Wentang had a smile on his face,

But there is no intention of bidding. He glanced sideways at Tang Xiu, then turned his head to another direction, looked at Shao Mingzhen and asked with a smile: "If I remember correctly, you are planning to buy a house abroad recently. How is it? Are you interested?"

Shao Mingzhen was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said: "The base price of this private island is indeed not high. If 500 million can be won, even if you buy it and then sell it, you can make some money. But everyone knows this Question, so, I think even if it is a billion, it may not be able to buy it. I am not a rich man, so I can't compare with you. So, I will start to be a soy sauce maker!"

Miao Wentang laughed dumbly and said: "If you really want to buy it, I can lend it to you. I can't get it out if it's too much, but I can still get it out with one billion liquid funds."

Shao Mingzhen smiled and said, "Let me take a look first!"

Tang Xiu stood up, walked to the back corner of the auction venue, and dialed a set of numbers.

star city.

In a villa near Guanjinglou Wang in Nanzha Town, Chen Zhizhong, who just bought the villa, is sitting cross-legged in the study, earnestly practicing the exercises that Tang Xiu taught him. He used to be a cultivator, but what he cultivated was true qi, which was very different from cultivating immortals.

but.

There are thousands of roads, and all roads lead to the end.

Because of the previous foundation, he is working hard to transform his true energy into true energy.

"Ring ring ring..."

The phone rang suddenly, awakening Chen Zhizhong who was practicing. Immediately, there was an angry look on his face, he grabbed the phone and looked at the number on the caller display, the angry look on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant, replaced by a bit of respect, and he pressed the answer button:

"Master, are you looking for me?"

"I need money, the more the better. How much money can you mobilize in ten minutes?"

"..."

Chen Zhizhong was silent for half a minute, thinking about it constantly in his mind. After half a minute, he said: "About three billion. The time is too tight. If you give me half a day more, I can make up five billion, or even More."

Tang Xiu said: "I'll give you my account, and after ten minutes, three billion will be transferred to my account."

"good!"

Chen Zhizhong agreed, no longer caring about his cultivation, and started making phone calls.

Jingmen Island, the auction venue.

Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang were chatting privately together when they suddenly noticed that Tang Xiu had left his seat, and they immediately looked at each other in dismay. Just now Tang Xiu left his seat and went to make a phone call. After returning, he started to participate in the auction of thousand-year-old ginseng.

"Brother Miao, is Tang Xiu going to participate in the auction again? Has he set his sights on that private island?" Shao Mingzhen asked in a low voice with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Miao Wentang said in a low voice: "It's very possible. Look at his serious expression, I think this matter is inseparable. However, I really don't understand why he went to the Pacific Ocean to buy it at his age. Private island, is it possible to move to that island and live a life isolated from the world?"

Shao Mingzhen smiled wryly and said, "I can't see through it, I really can't see through it! To be honest, Tang Xiu's age and appearance give me a strong sense of contradiction. I simply can't figure out how such a young man can behave like this! Behavior, behavior, there is no young man's attitude? Instead, he looks like a wise man with deep thoughts?"

"He is a monster."

Miao Wentang concluded the coffin.

Tang Xiu returned to his seat, quietly waiting for the funds to arrive. Although he could see the strange expressions on the faces of Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen, he didn't explain much.

If the thousand-year-old ginseng was something he wanted very much, then this private island, he was bound to get it. Even if it is to snatch it, it must be snatched.

"Five hundred and ten million."

The fat middle-aged nouveau riche was the first to make an offer.

"Five hundred and twenty million."

"Five hundred and fifty million."

"..."

In the last round of auction, the number of people who participated in the auction was relatively less than before, but there were more than a dozen people who kept raising their bids. Among them, the one with the most jubilant offer was the fat middle-aged man wearing a gold chain. Seven or eight minutes later, the price had climbed to 1.48 billion.

"One and a half billion!"

A trace of sweat appeared on the forehead of the fat middle-aged man, and he still shouted loudly.

"Two billion!"

Another old man who was over seventy years old raised the sign in his hand and shouted.

The fat middle-aged man suddenly turned his head, staring at the old man with eyes full of anger. After panting a few times, he shouted again: "Two billion one billion."

At this price, only the old man and the fat middle-aged man were still bidding. The old man was expressionless, as if turning a blind eye to the anger on the fat middle-aged man's face, and bid again: "2.2 billion."

"Twenty-three billion!"

The voice of the fat middle-aged man was hoarse, but he persisted.

However!

What made him happy was that the old man silently shook his head and stopped quoting.

"call……"

The fat middle-aged man wiped off the sweat from his forehead, secretly heaving a sigh of relief. In fact, he has reached the limit. If he raises the price again, he will give up.

With a smile on the corner of the auctioneer's mouth, his eyes flickering, he said with a smile: "The price of Jiulong Island has climbed to 2.3 billion. This is indeed a terrifying amount, but I think there are still people who haven't made a move. After all , a private island of tens of square kilometers, even the development and construction have been completed, if it is used rationally, it will definitely be a paradise on earth and belong to its own kingdom."

"On Kowloon Island, there is no law in the real society. Whoever owns the entire Kowloon Island is the king of this land and the person with the most rights. If the owner of Kowloon Island is willing, he can apply internationally and apply for establishment new country."

"This is a dream, a paradise. I want to ask, is there anyone willing to increase the price? Is there anyone else who wants to be the owner of Kowloon Island?"

The entire auction venue became deathly silent.

Everyone is watching each other. They were incited by the auctioneer's words, and their emotions had been completely mobilized, but they couldn't come up with so much liquidity. Otherwise, it will have a serious impact on their careers, and it will hurt their muscles and bones.

Exciting!

But helpless!

This is the truest portrayal of their hearts.

Auctioneer Xiao Ai's beautiful face showed a trace of disappointment. Although the price of 2.3 billion had exceeded her expectation by a lot, she still hoped that the island could be sold at a higher price.

The fat middle-aged man was just the opposite. A smile reappeared on his face, even with a bit of complacency. His eyes swept over the last old man who bid with him, and then subconsciously glanced at Tang Xiu.

"Two and a half billion!"

Tang Xiu's voice echoed in the auction venue.

for a moment.

Everyone in the entire auction venue showed strange expressions. No one thought that Tang Xiu, who couldn't even buy ginseng for a thousand years before, would actually bid for this private island, and even quoted a sky-high price!

Does he have that much money?

Where did he get such courage?

besides……

who is he?

Questions surged in the hearts of everyone.

Sitting next to Tang Xiu, Miao Wentang, Shao Mingzhen, and even the immortal Zi Yi, were all shocked by Tang Xiu's generous writing. They looked at Tang Xiu in disbelief, they didn't expect Tang Xiu to be able to spend so much money!

Shao Mingzhen touched Miao Wentang lightly, and said in a low voice: "You persuade him not to mess around here. The big boss behind this auction is very powerful, and we will definitely not be able to provoke him." (To be continued) .)
