Hence, they were even more determined not to bid!

The auctioneer looked at the guests below and heaved a sigh of relief. It was better having someone bid than no one. He asked, “Number 17 has bid 104 million yuan! Is there anyone who can bid higher than this?”

Lu Yaohua became nervous. It would be even better if the bid could reach 200 million yuan.

“105 million yuan.”

Lu Ming raised the card again. He would end this battle!

“Number 58, 105 million, going once! Number 58, 105 million, going twice! Number 58, 105 million, going thrice!”

“Number 58, 105 million yuan. Deal!”

“Congratulations to Mr. 58 for successfully obtaining this piece of land at 105 million yuan!”

Tang Er looked at Lu Ming meaningfully. He wondered why Lu Ming had gone through so much trouble to obtain this piece of land that was not considered good.

“Could it be…”?he thought.

“There is a secret about this place?”

He muttered, “Old Master, Mr. Lu has successfully made the transaction.”

A chuckle as well as the sound of a chess piece being placed came from the earpiece on his left.

If Lu Ming was around, he would definitely be able to tell that the other party was Tang Mingkun!

“I want to see how much of a surprise this child will bring me. How exciting!”

Tang Mingkun, who was sitting on a stone bench, did not hide his joy at all. He took out the black chess piece that was surrounded by white pieces. “Captured, Old Yang. You’re distracted.”

The white-robed old man called Old Yang said calmly, “After all, age is obvious here. I have to accept that I’m old. Do you think so highly of this kid? This piece of land doesn’t have any potential for development. 100 million yuan is too much!”

He placed the black stone in the leftmost corner.

“He must have his reasons for doing this.”

Tang Mingkun followed closely behind. He seemed to be pestering Old Yang. He did not think that Lu Ming had spent a lot of money to buy this piece of land to spite Lu Yaohua. With his composed character, there was no reason for him to do such a thing.

Old Yang pursed his lips and said, “I haven’t seen you like a young man so much in a long time.”

“That child is worth it.”

Tang Mingkun still remembered that after he was hit by a car, it was Lu Ming who saved him. When his life was at risk, it was Lu Ming who helped him handle those condescending doctors.

“But I’m also curious why he did it. Ah Er, ask him when you are leaving later.”

“Alright, Master.”

Tang Er answered in a low voice.

After he successfully sold his land, Lu Yaohua’s mood instantly improved. He finally had money to pay his debts. When he transferred the money to the creditors, he relaxed completely.

As the crowd dispersed, he left the auction house. Then he took out his phone and dialed a familiar number. He said, “Honey, I sold the piece of land for more than 100 million yuan.”

“100 million yuan?! Why did the price drop so drastically? Didn’t they say that it could sell for 200 to 300 million yuan?”

Tang Wenyi’s dissatisfied voice came from the other end. She had planned to spend some money, but if it was only 100 million yuan, how could she have extra money to use?

Lu Yaohua said helplessly, “After the auction house team went to take a look, they found out that my land’s feng shui was bad. It’s already good enough to sell for 100 million yuan. I almost couldn’t sell it.”

He paused for a moment before asking, “Do you know who bought my land finally?”

“… Was it some big shot? That’s not right. Our piece of land is only suitable for building apartments. Those big shots will not be interested. Why would they buy it?”

“It’s Lu Ming.”

On the other end, there was a long pause as Tang Wenyi was stunned by his answer. Then she raised her voice. “Lu Ming!? Are you kidding me?? How could a bastard have so much money!”

When he saw those big shots praising Lu Ming, Lu Yaohua was numb to it. Now even if the mayor fawned over him, he would not be surprised.

“I already have his money.”

“Tch! Isn’t this to mock us? To the point of needing his help when we are in dire straits! In any case, we didn’t lose anything this time, and that bastard didn’t gain anything. You have to lecture him properly. You must not let him take advantage of us at all!”

Tang Wenyi’s gaze was dark as she said this. At the thought that her piece of land had been bought by the other party, she felt uncomfortable! If she was at the auction, she might have destroyed it with her own hands rather than sell it to Lu Ming.

After hanging up, she switched to a doting demeanor and caressed her son’s face gently. “Ah Ze, when will you wake up? I’m very worried about you.

Don’t worry. I will never let Lu Ming, that bastard, off! When the time comes, whether you want him to live or die, it will be up to you. As long as you wake up, I will give you everything you wish for.”

…

Meanwhile, as Lu Yaohua was thinking of doing something in retaliation, he saw Tang Er approaching Lu Ming. “Mr. Lu, may I know why you wanted to buy this piece of land?”

Lu Ming turned around and said, “This land is very good.”

The moment he said that, even Han Qianjing, who was about to leave, stopped in her tracks. Did she hear wrongly?

“Forgive my stupidity, but I don’t understand what you mean.”

Tang Er scratched his head.

“It’s literally what I mean. Although this piece of land is in the suburbs, if you’ve checked out the spot, you will know that there are several new shops being renovated nearby. Moreover, it has rich water sources, and the geographical environment is advantageous.”

At this point, the veterans who had been in the industry for a long time understood what Lu Ming meant. They could not help but widen their eyes. Isn’t this…

“I’m sure you’ve guessed it. This piece of land meets investment criteria, which means that there’s a high chance that the government will mark it as a new development zone. Although it is not very accessible now, this is a small matter. It’s easy to build a few subway lines. At that time, the traffic will definitely be higher, and not lower!”

So revenue will grow by leaps and bounds!

After he said that, they could also tell that this piece of land was equivalent to a golden egg.

This inevitably made the people, including Han Qianjing and Tang Er, envious. After all, no one would complain about earning too much money.

Han Qianjing took a deep breath. His business sense was really unnerving. She almost thought that this young man in front of her was an old man in disguise!

This was a true genius!

She glanced at the shocked Tang Er from the corner of her eye. How could Lu Ming have discerned something that even Old Master Tang did not? She doubts that he is really a child from an ordinary family. If Chu Jinyu had not told her at the last minute, she would have thought that he came from an influential family in Beijing.

Chu Jinyu instinctively looked at her mother.. Seeing that Han Qianjing was in disbelief, she was delighted. Who could reject such an outstanding Lu Ming?
