Chapter 405: Charity Auction

Liu Yun vaguely remembers that around 2015 in his previous life, except for the first-tier cities, the property market in China remained strong, and the housing prices in the rest of the second- and third-tier cities all declined by different degrees.

His idea at the time was to wait, wait for the house price to fall a little more, and then start it. Unfortunately, by the end of 2016, the property market began to recover and ushered in a new wave of growth.

Liu Yun saw that the situation was wrong, gritted his teeth and made up a down payment, and the house price at that time had just exceeded 10,000 yuan. In 2018, the soaring speed of housing prices has not stopped, and the housing prices in Donghai City have exceeded 15,000, while the renovation of the old city is in full swing.

At that time, countless real estate developers raised their glasses to celebrate: the prosperous era has come!

Yes, for real estate developers, it's a carnival. What they see is endless wealth rolling in, and as for the appearance of the masses on the other side of society, it is not what they care about.

Liu Yun was lucky, at the moment before the housing price skyrocketed, he bought in time, but more people chose to wait and see, and as a result, they missed the opportunity. After the skyrocketing housing prices, I can only look at the building and sigh.

In the past, it was possible to become a house slave with a lifetime of savings, but now many people do not get this qualification even if they do this.

Liu Yun knows that the bosses who are attending this banquet today, no matter what they do now, will more or less devote themselves to the real estate industry in the future, even if they stop at a taste, and make a quick buck. So when Fan Yiwei smiled wickedly and wanted to pull Liu Yun into this circle, he decisively refused.

"Why should I join you?" was Liu Yun's idea, or rather the pride of being a reborn.

In his previous life, he was just one of the many living beings, but now that his identity has changed from a laborer to an employer, does he have to raise his sickle to harvest leeks?

Many people like to describe that when money accumulates to a certain extent, it is just a boring number, and it is inconsequential to subtract one point more, what they care about is a sense of accomplishment in chasing wealth.

For Liu Yun's message, investing in real estate can make a quick buck, but it only adds a little bit to his wealth, and there will be no sense of accomplishment.

He is self-aware and knows that he cannot change the general trend of society, but he still willfully and proudly chooses to refuse to join it.

Liu Yun once hesitated, and for the real estate industry, which can be called a profiteering industry, whether to enter it to make a piece of the pie, has not made up his mind for a long time.

This banquet made Liu Yun make up his mind for the first time since his rebirth, not to take advantage of the hot east wind of the real estate market, and not to become a member of the army of leeks.

……

The charity banquet officially began, and two hosts, a man and a woman, brought all kinds of famous paintings, calligraphy and antiques to auction one after another.

Perhaps it was deliberately arranged by the organizing committee, Liu Yun and Yu Song were divided into the same table, and Fan Yiwei was also at the same table. His number plate is number 18.

One is the richest man in Donghai City, and the other is a young rich man who came out of Donghai City and enjoys a good reputation.

"Does Ryu always have something you like?" Yu Song pointed to the countertop and asked.

"If you like it or not, you will buy some, which is worth the trip. Liu Yun said with a smile.

For the wealthy, charity banquets are a very popular occasion.

Here you can spend money to buy what they want. Sometimes they are not really interested in these precious works of art, but need these things to decorate their wealthy status.

To use a word widely circulated on the Internet in his previous life to describe it, it is to pretend to be forced, and he is happy to do it.

The Charity Banquet Room is the best of both worlds, where you get a good name for extravagant art for your money.

A landscape painting by a certain master was auctioned off by a wealthy man who engaged in real estate for 300,000 yuan.

Then a few landscape paintings, also at about this price, were auctioned away by those entrepreneurs one after another, and everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding that they would not continue to compete at a certain price, and there would be no rich man who would take away more than two landscape paintings.

For them, taking what they want at a reasonable price is an unspoken rule that everyone knows.

After the auction of several paintings, there was a brief theatrical performance, in which a group of staff from the dance troupe performed their talents on stage.

Some of the entrepreneurs here drank wine and watched the performance, while others strolled and chatted wholeheartedly.

"Mr. Fan, it is said that the land in the new district has been approved, and a five-star hotel will be built. Yu Song asked, "This is amazing, it's our first five-star hotel in Donghai City." ”

Fan Yiwei nodded very proudly and said: "The approval is down, but it is impossible to build only hotels, and nearby office buildings and commercial houses must also be built, otherwise where will the money come from to build hotels." ”

Yu Song replied: "Yes, after all, it costs money to build a hotel, but now the office buildings and commercial houses in this market will sell well, and the money earned is enough to spend on hotels." By the way, is this five-star according to the standard?"

Fan Yiwei pursed his lips and said, "Try to follow the five-star standard." ”

Yu Song quickly showed an expression of "I understand", the other party wanted to save money, so he had to lower the standard appropriately to meet the minimum standard of a five-star hotel, which is the so-called poor man's version of five-star.

Liu Yun on the side didn't talk to these two people, just drank wine and ate food idly. He also showed a strange expression when he heard the conversation between the two.

In his previous life, he and his friends had been to that hotel, and the lobby of the hotel was large, but it was ugly, without a trace of beauty, and the buffet was unpalatable. His friends complained that the meat there was very unfresh.

He couldn't help but shake his head, and secretly said in his heart: What five stars are not five stars, they are all lies. This dish is not as delicious as the food stalls on the side of the road.

Fan Yiwei looked at Yu Song, and then at Liu Yun, the expressions of these two people were very strange, and they seemed to be a little disgusted that their pattern was too small.

"The financial pressure is high, and I can't help it, I ask for bank loans, and if the real estate market is sluggish in a few years, I will go crazy." ”

Liu Yun remembers that this guy was extremely lucky, after the 2008 Yanjing Olympics, the financial crisis that broke out from Wall Street in the United States swept the world, and the real estate market in China also ushered in a cold winter. However, soon after, due to the stimulation of 4 trillion domestic demand, in 2009, the land kings were frequent, and the real estate market began to recover.

The office buildings and commercial houses in this guy's hands were sold in 2009, and the sales were booming, and the funds needed to build the hotel were recovered in a very short time.

"The environment in the new district is much better than in the old city, more and more people are willing to move their new homes in the new district, and some companies are willing to buy office buildings in the new district, after all, there are more parking spaces and better office environment. So usually, as long as you have a piece of land in the new area, it is a profitable business. ”

Liu Yun put down his wine glass and slowly said his thoughts.

Fan Yiwei was very willing to hear such good words with professional analysis, so he patted his thigh excitedly and said, "Mr. Liu, what you said is too intimate, come and I will toast you." ”

He saw Liu Yun's somewhat surprised expression, and smiled: "I was a chef at the beginning, and I was a rough man. ”

The rich people of that era more or less had a hint of Jianghu atmosphere.

After Liu Yun finished a drink, Fan Yiwei continued: "Mr. Liu, I know that the Internet is very profitable, but no one is afraid of money. Since you are so optimistic about the property market in the new area, you can also consider buying a piece of land and earning him 100 million yuan first. ”

The real estate industry is often based on the policy to eat, and as a rigid demand, has always been a state of demand exceeding supply, within a lot, the price of many real estate is relatively close, few people deliberately engage in price wars, because there is no need. You don't fight price wars, and you don't worry about no one coming to buy a house, so the relationship between the bosses of several real estate companies is actually quite good, and there is no such thing as the Internet industry, where the leaders of several giants get along peacefully no matter how smiling on the surface, and the back is a cruel fight like swords and swords.

Liu Yun smiled indifferently and just shook his head.

Fan Yiwei just shook his head helplessly, this young man didn't accept his kindness. If at that time, he made a quick amount of money from real estate, he could proudly say that this was his idea, so as to pull in the relationship with Liu Yun.

On stage, at this time, the theatrical performance ended, and the host started a new round of auction, which was a diamond necklace.

He explained that it was donated by one of the largest jewelry stores in the area and was designed by an internationally renowned designer.

Liu Yun understands that if you can get the auction at this banquet, there will be no fakes. Here are the top rich people in Donghai City, and they are qualified to enter it with assets of hundreds of millions, and they can't afford to lie and deceive people.

Several of the diamonds on this necklace are very beautiful and very distinctive, especially the moment when the center diamond, in the shape of a heart, is a combination of several diamonds of more than one carat, graceful and luxurious.

"Yuhan, I think I'll like it very much. That was the first thought that came to his mind, after all, no woman would say no to a diamond.

And then another thought came to mind, buy it! Buy it!

"500,000 starting price!" As soon as the host finished talking about the starting price, there was a lot of commotion in the audience.

Unlike those precious works of art, those things have passed through this village, and there is a store, for these local tyrants, as long as it is a work of art, it doesn't matter which style it is. But this beautiful necklace has made these local tyrants have the urge to possess it, just like a peerless beauty slowly walking in front of you, if you are a normal man, will you have no idea?

"On the 18th, Yoyo Liu has raised his card, 500,000!"

Liu Yun was the first to raise his card.

"No. 38 has raised a card, and Ms. Liu, an overseas Chinese, bid 600,000 yuan, is there anything left?"

"On the 29th, Ms. Liu of Hexing Group bid 700,000!"

The two women who jumped out to compete with Liu Yun were all women, but at this moment he had no idea of giving priority to ladies at all, and once again raised his card, 800,000!

"Mr. Liu, 800,000. Looks like it's inevitable!"

The richest man in Donghai City moved his eyes slightly, and raised the number plate of 20 in his hand, 900,000. Obviously, he also had a competitive mind.

Yu Song smiled and said, "Liu always wants to take a picture of this and give it to his girlfriend, right?"

Liu Yun raised his eyebrows and replied, "Otherwise, it should be a gift, but it's not a wife." ”

After Yu Song heard this, he couldn't help but turn dark. Except for Liu Yun, these bosses are all forty or fifty years old and have families. Liu Yun said this with irony.
