Secretary Xia's arrival surprised everyone present.

Although Secretary Xia is the leader of the Binhai Municipal Government, he never participates in such land auctions, and under normal circumstances, he will not interfere with the normal work of the Land Bureau.

However, this does not mean that Secretary Xia does not care about the urban construction of Binhai City.

The overall renovation project of Baozhu District is a top priority of the municipal government this year, and many city leaders, including Secretary Xia, attach great importance to this project and have high hopes.

Soon after the auction began, someone reported the situation at the auction to Secretary Xia in detail.

When Secretary Xia learned that Ye Hao appeared at the auction and quoted surprisingly high prices one after another, he was very surprised. Soon, he heard that Ye Haohao spent three billion yuan to win the first piece of land auctioned in the Baozhu District in one fell swoop.

This shocked him even more!

Secretary Xia personally participated in the preliminary planning of the overall renovation project of Baozhu District, so he is very familiar with the land situation in Baozhu District. He knew very well that the land in the Baozhu District that Ye Hao had just bought was worth about 1 billion, and he was very confused as to why Ye Hao spent so much money to buy this land.

Secretary Xia felt that it was necessary to go to the venue to see it in person.

On the way to the venue, Secretary Xia also made a special call to Luo Jianan.

He knew that Ye Hao and Luo Shiyin were very close now, and he thought that behind this matter, Luo Jianan was manipulating.

When Secretary Xia finished talking to Luo Jiannan, he couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation.

Luo Jianan said on the phone that Ye Hao's participation in this auction was Ye Hao's own idea, and the funds used were Ye Hao's own funds, not secretly instructed by him. However, Luo Jianan also said that if Ye Hao's funds are short, the Luo consortium is willing to support it.

Luo Jianan's words not only did not dispel Secretary Xia's doubts, but deepened his confusion.

He thought that Ye Hao's funds came from the Luo's Consortium, but now it seems that it is not. Although he knew something about Ye Hao, he didn't know anything about it, and he was also very curious about where Ye Hao got such a huge sum of money.

In fact, the source of Ye Hao's huge wealth is not the most confusing to Secretary Xia.

What puzzled Secretary Xia the most was that he couldn't figure out what Ye Hao wanted to do. He felt that Ye Hao probably didn't know how deep the water was in this auction.

As the leader of the municipal government, Secretary Xia knows a lot of insider information that the outside world does not know. Although Luo Jianan did not say why the Luo's consortium suddenly withdrew from Binhai, Secretary Xia knew that it must be related to this land auction.

Secretary Xia even guessed who was secretly putting pressure on Luo Jianan.

The overall renovation project of Baozhu District is a big piece of fat, not only many local real estate companies in Binhai City, but also many real estate giants in the provincial capital.

Secretary Xia knew very well that Ding Beihai was just a pawn used by others.

The black hand behind the scenes, because he was notorious in the province, it was inconvenient for him to go out in person, so he came forward through Ding Beihai and wanted to secretly swallow the transformation project of the entire Baozhu District.

Secretary Xia also knew how terrifying the strength of the mastermind behind the scenes was, and how despicable the methods were.

Secretary Xia really couldn't understand that even Luo Jianan, when facing the mastermind behind the scenes, was forced to choose to retreat, and even withdrew the Luo consortium from Binhai City, and Ye Hao was just a fledgling young man, why did he dare to go against such a terrifying dark force?

Secretary Xia is now very worried about Ye Hao's personal safety, and he made a special trip to the auction site, on the one hand, he wanted to understand the situation in person, and on the other hand, he also wanted to escort Ye Hao.

Accompanied by Director Liu of the Land Bureau, Secretary Xia was greeted by a standing ovation from many real estate developers as soon as he stepped into the venue.

Li Jianbin, the auctioneer on the stage, saw Secretary Xia coming, and hurriedly suspended the ongoing auction.

"Secretary Xia, please tell us a few words!"

Li Jianbin warmly applauded and welcomed Secretary Xia to the stage to speak.

"Hehe, I'm just here to see, you continue with yours, don't worry about me!"

Secretary Xia smiled and waved his hand, walked directly to the seat assigned to him on the rostrum, and sat down.

After he sat down, he first glanced at Ding Beihai, who was sitting in the first row, and then turned his gaze to Ye Hao, who was sitting in the last row.

Ye Hao saw that Secretary Xia was looking at him, and he also raised his hand and greeted Secretary Xia with a smile.

Secretary Xia smiled and nodded, but did not say much.

At this time, Li Jianbin began to introduce the land that was about to be auctioned next.

After he finished the introduction, he said aloud,

"Now I announce that the second piece of land in Baozhu District auctioned today, the land plot numbered BZ1708-02, has officially started to be auctioned! The area of this land is 31 acres, and the starting price is 400 million, and the range of each price increase shall not be less than 1 million, and it must be an integer multiple of 1 million! Now, everyone can bid!"

After Li Jianbin made the announcement, he began to wait for the next fierce bidding.

However, something unexpected happened!

There was no fierce bidding in the audience as Li Jianbin expected, but it was unusually quiet.

A whole minute passed, and no one in the audience raised a sign!

All the real estate developers, after the last round of crazy bidding, are now calming down.

They are all waiting and watching, unwilling to be the first to stand up and make an offer.

There were only two people who were watching, one was Ding Beihai who was sitting in the first row, and the other was Ye Hao who was sitting in the last row.

Ding Beihai had a gloomy face, sitting in a chair without saying a word, making people not know what he was thinking.

Ye Hao in the back, although he was smiling, he also didn't make any moves.

Li Jianbin on the stage began to feel a little embarrassed.

As soon as Secretary Xia came, the auction presided over by him was cold, what a bad impression this would leave on Secretary Xia?

Li Jianbin had no choice but to remind again,

"Ahem, the land parcel numbered BZ1708-02 has officially started to be auctioned!

After another minute, there was still silence in the audience, and no one raised a sign.

On the rostrum, Director Liu, who was sitting next to Secretary Xia, began to fidget.

He leaned his head against Secretary Xia and whispered in embarrassment,

"Secretary Xia, I admit my mistake to you, today's auction is not organized by me!"

"Hehe, Lao Liu, don't be in such a hurry to explain, you haven't done anything wrong. To give you some time, I believe that the plots in Baozhu District are still very attractive to real estate developers!"

Secretary Xia said with a smile.
