Unlike the previous three auctions, the room fell into a strange silence after the announcement of the start, with only the sound of the camera shutter being heard.

People's eyes were invariably fixed on those people and Ye Dongqing.

Speaking of Ben, in the 80s and 90s, I said that I was crazy about buying all kinds of real estate projects in the United States, including the most famous Pebble Beach golf course in California, the Empire State Building in New York, and so on, and there were even voices that if I sold my house in Tokyo, I could buy the whole of the United States.

Needless to say, the economy is still weak until now, and the false prosperity of the past is long gone.

Those things are still in the minds of some people, take Mayor Bloomberg as an example, this old man would like to come to New York to invest in as many companies as possible, it is best to bring the entire money of the capital, but on the other hand, he does not want the people of this country to be beautiful under his nose, in comparison, Ye Dongqing is his own person, although he has the same skin color as them, he is a local resident born in New York.

It's not just a piece of land, it's more like a battle of will, since Ye Dongqing said in public that he wanted to target this group of people, the people who watched the excitement had already whetted their appetite, and it was rare to see people smashing people with money, not to mention that the contradiction with Ye Dongqing was a Fortune 500 company, which had a place in the entire world's financial circle.

It was quiet for more than a minute.

A certain local executive finally couldn't bear it anymore and held up a sign to add $2 million to the reserve price, quoting $1.4 billion and $1.4 billion and $2 million.

This lot is bigger than the previous ones, with a view of the Hudson River on one side, and the location is not bad, right next to the Cobra Building, so the starting price is relatively high.

Some time ago, the fig leaf of subprime housing loans was torn off by Ye Dongqing, and many small and medium-sized urban real estate projects were affected, and New York, especially the real estate on Manhattan Island, was supported by wealthy people from all over the world.

If this land is taken down, it can be connected to the previous land to create a public commercial project, whether it is developed into a residential or sports stadium, at least it will not be bad.

Ye Dongqing thought about it carefully, and before he swelled to the point of being reckless for the sake of a little emotion, he raised the sign in his hand at this moment, and directly raised the price by 50 million US dollars on the basis of the quotation, and the land price was already close to those in the previous auction.

Most of the people at the scene couldn't take out so much money, even Richard, who was sitting next to him, was hot, although he knew how rich Ye Dongqing was, but there was a big difference between a string of numbers and the scene of real money spent after all.

has begun to quote, but has not broken through the psychological bottom line, the person himself raised the card again to increase the price by 10 million US dollars, Ye Dongqing followed with another 10 million, so far the auction price has risen to 1.472 billion US dollars, and after another round of bidding, the quotation was raised to 1.5 billion US dollars.

Suddenly turning his head sideways, Ye Dongqing smiled at the person who said it, and shouted again when he raised the card: "Add 30 million US dollars!"

When the other party saw the smile on his face, he chuckled, combined with the words he heard before, thinking that he was constantly digging a hole to try to fall into, and finally pinched his nose and paid a lot of money.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible, Ye Dongqing's expression when he smiled at him was also understood as a provocation to try to provoke himself, and he couldn't help but retreat, after all, it was just an investment, and the building did not have to be built.

Thinking about these things in my head, my eyes lost focus, and I was already distracted.

Seeing that no one would raise the price again, the host asked, "For $1.53 billion, who else is willing to pay a higher price?"

The staff of the town hall who was a guest auctioneer was not professional in his words, and he failed to mobilize people's enthusiasm, probably thinking that the price was a little lower, and even asked those people stupidly: "Guests from the East, don't you hold up your cards?"

There was a burst of laughter.

The senior executive of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group subconsciously thought that this was the auctioneer mocking his lack of strength, and his chest rose and fell violently in anger.

Without waiting for him to speak, the CEO of UBP Group, who felt that the price was still low, raised a sign and added 5 million US dollars on the basis of Ye Dongqing's quotation.

Ye Dongqing didn't speak this time, for him, the original land was enough, since a third party was involved, there was no need to continue to increase the price, and it was better to invest the funds in other projects with higher returns.

Mitsubishi UFJ people tried to quote again, and the price has been pushed up to $1.63 billion, and the unit price has exceeded the previous three plots of land, and the profit margin is constantly being compressed.

Considering the pressure on the capital chain and the recent downturn in real estate transactions, the CEO of UBP had no choice but to give up, and just when the executives of Mitsubishi UFJ breathed a sigh of relief and turned their attention to Ye Dongqing, they saw him pick up the auction card again, pushing the land price up by 20 million US dollars again.

Calculated the price, it was much more expensive than the unit price of the land he originally used to build the Cobra Building.

Billions of dollars is not a small amount anywhere, and a single piece of land can bring billions of dollars in revenue to the city hall, and Mayor Bloomberg Sr. has long been happy to use the money to accomplish many things, such as renovating infrastructure and increasing investment in social welfare.

More and more felt that Ye Dongqing was pushing his company into the pit, so angry that this native executive left the scene directly, and before leaving, he said something to his colleagues in Japanese, and some people translated that they were fighting in the house, accusing the designer of Tiancong Cloud Building of messing around and provoking people who shouldn't be messed with.

The status is not bad, the face is still needed, and when they left the scene, they received a lot of boos and middle fingers, probably blaming them for not fighting for their anger and not fighting until the end.

Ye Dongqing looked indifferent, and asked the people of the Related Group with a smile: "I guess no one will compete with me, how about transferring it to you as far as my offer is concerned?" I don't like to engage in real estate, I can definitely make money, but the return cycle is too long, you should know how hot the neighborhood will be after the Cobra Building is built, rich people like to live near landmarks, and there are high-end shopping malls under the Cobra Building to play." ”

That's really ...... Before the auctioneer got the hammer down, he even talked about reselling.

The CEO of Related Group was very decisive, only thought for a few seconds, and immediately stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ye Dongqing with a smile: "Our capital chain is already a little tight, how about trying to cooperate once? You have funds, we have experience in operation and sales, we make money together, I can eat about seventy percent of ......"
