Chapter 712: Competitors
A master of ceremonies in a black suit walked up to the podium and said with a microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, this auction is about to start, please sit down according to the number." Dusty ↘ √ text? Learning √ Net"
So, everyone looked for a place according to their number.
There are more than 40 tables in this room, and each table can seat eight people, and each table has four numbers in consideration of the possibility of guests bringing their families.
Marin's number is eighty-eight, while Sumitomo's is eighty-seven, and the two groups of people happen to be sitting at the same table.
At this time, I listened to the master of ceremonies on the stage and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Yoshihide Suga, the political officer of our Dongying, speaks. ”
Amid warm applause, Suga came to the stage, and what he said was naturally to bring in powerful funds for the rapid development of the Edogawa region, so that the land auction would be held.
These things are not of concern to everyone present, and finally waited for Suga to finish those official words, Suga Yiwei said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will not delay everyone's time, and now we will start auctioning the first piece of land, located on the Edogawa Seaside, No. 1 land, covering an area of 237 acres, with a starting price of 30 million US dollars, and an increase of 500,000 US dollars each time." ”
Next, Suga stepped down from the podium and a special auctioneer presided over the auction.
As soon as the auction began, Marin saw Ryosuke holding up his number eight sign.
"Thirty million once!" The auctioneer's loud voice echoed through the living room.
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, Sumitomo held up his No. 15 sign.
The auctioneer indicated the direction of Sumitomo with a gesture, and then said: "Mr. Fifteen, three thousand and a half million, the first time!" ”
Then, everyone joined the bidding, and the price continued to rise.
Compared with other people who are interested in bidding, Marin is very calm here, Marin has been watching others raise their signs to bid, but he is leisurely, and he is still drinking the tea provided by the hotel.
When Lin Youcheng saw her like this, he couldn't help but say, "Aren't you here to bid?" I think it's true that you're here to join in the fun. ”
Marin said with a smile while tasting the tea from the hotel: "It doesn't make sense even if I participate in the bidding now, you see these people, all of them are like wolves, and I plan to wait until about the same time to make a move." ”
Kazuo Shenmu on the other side watched Ryosuke and Sumitomo constantly alternate bids, and said with a smile: "You see, the two of them seem to be on their shoulders, and there are many elements of vindictiveness." ”
Because the auction price of this piece of land increased by 500,000 each time, and Ryosuke directly increased to 100,000 a few times, Sumitomo Xiong did not show weakness at all, and pressed Ryosuke every time. And the intrigue between the two of them was so obvious that almost as soon as one of them raised his sign to shout the price, the other immediately followed, and there was no time to stop at all, and he didn't even have time to let the auctioneer bid.
"Ryosuke, I can't guarantee it, but Sumitomo's words, he is still measured, and he won't really mess around." Marin said with a smile.
Although Zuo Nosuke is Ryosuke's father, the wealthy family has always paid attention to the right people, especially people like Zuo Nosuke, and his wife's family is also very powerful, so the connections behind Ryosuke are not necessarily smaller than Zuo Nosuke.
Due to the continuous bidding of Ryosuke and Sumitomoo, the price of this land quickly climbed from 30 million to more than 50 million US dollars, and the number of other bidders gradually decreased. However, they also had no room to interfere in the bidding process between Ryosuke and Sumitomo, and they could only see some people who were really powerful and interested in bidding, and their faces slowly became solemn.
Just like Masaharu Matsushita, his face became a little heavy when he saw Sumitomo and Ryosuke raise the price to such a high position. Especially thinking of the Mitsubishi Consortium and the Sumitomo Consortium behind the two of them, which one is much stronger than his own Matsushita Consortium, Masaharu Matsushita can't figure out where the limits of the two of them are.
However, Sumitomo and Ryosuke's bidding is not unlimited, in fact, before the two of them came here to participate in the auction, the bigwigs behind the scenes gave them a bottom line.
The bottom line is that if you exceed a certain price, you have to give up the bid.
Now, as the price gets closer and closer to their respective bottom lines, Ryosuke and Sumitomoo's bidding speed has slowed down.
"Seventy million!"
When Ryosuke just raised his sign to bid and let the land price climb to 58 million, a voice suddenly shouted out the price of 70 million, which raised the price by more than 10 million at once, so that the entire living room quieted down, and all looked at the person who raised the sign and shouted the price.
The one who raised the sign and shouted the price was a man who was not good-looking, in fact, this man was not noticed, and what really attracted attention was the person next to him, Kiichiro!
The unattractive man was one of the people who came after Kiichiro just now, and he was bidding for Kiichiro.
Kiichiro has finally made a move!
The people in the living room thought so, and Sumitomo and Ryosuke also didn't bid for the time being, I don't know if they were surprised by the magnitude of Kiichiro's price increase, or if they were afraid of Kiichiro and didn't want to go against him.
"Seventy million for the first time!" The auctioneer shouted the bid.
The audience was quiet, and no one raised a sign to shout the price, because everyone present was very jealous of Kiichiro.
And Matsushita Masaharu and Matsushita Takuya, their faces are a little blue, things are developing towards the situation they least want to see, Kiichiro really came to bid, if he bids, he will inevitably offend Kiichiro, offend him, and offend the Toyota family.
Although Masaharu Matsushita's wife is a member of the Toyota family, it is a side line, and Kiichiro's biological brother is at the helm of the Toyota Foundation!
Everyone present actually didn't want to provoke Kiichiro in their hearts, after all, the strength of the Toyota family was too strong.
"Seventy million for the second time!" The auctioneer continued to shout, but it was still quiet in the living room.
Many of the people present were already thinking that it would be better to give up the first piece of land to Kiichiro, and they would better bid for the second piece of land. Including Ryosuke and Sumitomo Yu, they all thought so in their hearts.
Kiichiro was very satisfied with the reaction of the audience, with a smile on his face, looking a bit like Maitreya Buddha.
"Seventy million third...", the auctioneer held his gavel alof, and it looked as if he was about to hammer down to finalize the sale of the first piece of land.
"Seventy-one million!"
A crisp sound like a yellow oriole suddenly sounded, interrupting the auctioneer's shouts and movements, causing the mallet in the auctioneer's hand to stop in the air.
This sudden situation made everyone present unexpected, everyone thought that Kiichiro would get the first piece of land as he wished, and everyone thought that no one would want to offend Kiichiro.
However, there are also many people who are gloating, because they don't want to see Kiichiro succeed in buying the land, but they don't dare to offend him and tolerate it, and now someone has come forward and hindered Kiichiro's footsteps, which is what many people are happy to see.
I saw that everyone in the audience followed the sound and looked at the person holding up the sign and shouting the price, but found that it was a charming woman wearing a red bandeau dress.
Kiichiro, who originally thought that the piece of land had fallen into his pocket, paused for a moment with a smile on his face, and then followed the sound to look over, but his eyes narrowed even tighter.
This woman is naturally Marin.
Lin Youcheng also looked at Ma Lin a little helplessly, and shook his head slightly, Ma Lin really made a move when Xi Ichiro made a move, and he was already seriously offended by bidding with Xi Ichiro so blatantly.
However, he also reached out and grabbed Marin's hand tightly, a faint smile appeared on his face, and his hand crept under the table to Marin's lap, caressing through the thin skirt.
Since everyone was peeking at themselves, Ma Lin's face quickly appeared a charming crimson, but he didn't dare to say anything at all, so he could only silently endure Lin Youcheng's teasing, but his heart was agitated, and he had a little bit of longing, hoping that Lin Youcheng would not stop.
After all, after most of the pregnancy, there was no normal life, but Marin also had to release the pressure.
