Chapter 1409
Inside the Tianhua Auction House.
The Mountain and Sea Hall, the largest auction hall in the entire auction house.
In order to prepare for today’s auction, Tianhua Auction House has specially opened the Mountain and Sea Hall and postponed all other auctions.
With two days of fermentation, even the local ordinary people were clear that today’s auction was not just limited to the southwest region, but the whole world.
When Chen Dong and Elder Long entered the venue, the Mountain and Sea Hall had already been filled to capacity, and the remaining participants had even squeezed shoulder to shoulder to the entrance of the auction hall.
The crowd was packed and lively.
Even if these people were whispering and exchanging pleasantries with each other, the convergence was deafening.
“I’m afraid that this auction today is a signal released by Chen Dong, and I’m afraid that he is indeed in big trouble now.”
“Ten pieces of land that are worth an inch of gold, if it were everyone present, who would suddenly put them up for auction? And I heard that the person presiding over the auction today is Lord Meng, a local official!”
“Lord Meng himself is officiating? Is he trying to get us to show more support and try to avoid the land being aborted? If that’s the case, perhaps …… the folk rumours are true this time! Taking so many high-quality land plots out and auctioning them all off will indeed be able to return a large wave of funds in a short period of time.”
……
The front row of the Shanhai Hall.
Zhuge Qing, Chu Reed and Zhou Yanqiu, Zhou Zunlong, were all listed.
Compared to Zhuge Qing and Chu Reed’s calmness and relaxation.
Zhou Zunlong and Zhou Yanqiu looked a little embarra*sed.
“Zhou Yanqiu, why do I feel that we are not suitable for today’s occasion?”
Zhou Zun Long said with his head lowered and a little embarra*sed.
Zhou Yanqiu sat on his chair, gazing at the auction stage, and calmly said, “If we were not related to Mr. Chen, even if we entered this auction hall today, I am afraid that we would be no different from the group of people standing at the gate.” If you have this feeling, so do I.”
The words fell.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Zhou Zun Long looked back at the sea of people behind him and lamented, “Dragons and tigers converge, this crowd of people present today are either the family heads of powerful families and giants personally, or they are also the white glove spokespersons of those lofty powers.”
There was a pause.
Zhou Zun Long sighed, “To be honest, I had the luxury of attending the Chen family head’s birthday banquet, after all, the banquet was open to 3,000 tables, so we could always squeeze in, but with this grand sight today, I wouldn’t dare to dream of sitting in the same room as these great powers.”
“Why not? It’s just that Mr. Chen …… alas ……”
Zhou Yanqiu said at the end, could not help but reveal her heartache, as if a sultry little daughter-in-law glared at Zhou Zunlong.
Zhou Zun Long’s eyes fluttered at the corners and automatically ignored the look.
But also with Zhou Yanqiu’s words, he sighed and lamented.
When Chen Daolin’s birthday was celebrated, a banquet of 3,000 tables was held and the world’s most powerful families were invited.
With his and Zhou Yanqiu’s wealth, they were indeed able to attend.
But today’s auction was a far cry from what it was then!
The threshold for entering the Mountain and Sea Hall of the Tianhua Auction House today was much higher than that of the Chen family’s birthday!
On the contrary, this was also the reason for the two to sigh and lament.
Thinking about Chen Dong’s plan, and what would happen next.
As Chen Dong’s followers, they were all sad in their hearts.
“I am afraid that today is the day when the building will fall.”
Zhuge Qing, who had been silent, spoke up slowly.
At these words.
Chu Reed, Zhou Yanqiu and Zhou Zunlong all looked gloomy at the same time.
It was also at this moment.
“Lord Meng has arrived!”
With a shout of alarm, the noisy auction hall abruptly fell silent.
All eyes converged on the entrance of the Mountain and Sea Hall, with different eyes.
Zhuge Qing, Chu Reed and the others, also turned back one after another.
The entrance to the Mountain and Sea Hall.
The crowd of people had automatically separated into a pa*sage.
Under the attention of the crowd, Lord Meng, in a suit, walked with a dragon and a tiger, and his brow was not angry.
As he walked into the Hall, the crowd in the room was filled with people.
All those present rose to greet him.
Although there were many of the world’s most powerful family heads present, with huge wealth in their hands, and even a great deal of power.
But the reality is that “people are carrying people in palanquins” and they all want a piece of the southwest region, and Lord Meng is in charge of a corner of the region that is Chen Dong’s stronghold, the most central region in the southwest.
No one would neglect Lord Meng in a mere matter of etiquette.
As he walked forward, Lord Meng nodded his head in greeting to the people around him.
But every now and then, his eyes scanned around, as if searching for something in the Hall of Mountains and Seas.
Finally, under the gaze of the crowd.
Lord Meng walked up to Zhuge Qing and the four of them.
“Where is Chen Dong?”
Lord Meng asked, “From what the people outside said, he has already come in.”
The four Zhuge Qing looked at each other with blank faces.
They also knew that Chen Dong had already entered the Tianhua Auction Hall long ago, but until this moment, everyone, including the four of them, had not seen Chen Dong.
“Lord Meng ……”
Suddenly, Chen Dong’s shout came out.
This shout, however, was like a flat thunderclap, instantly causing the entire venue to explode.
The whole room was neat and tidy, and heads surged as they all looked in unison to follow the sound.
When the crowd saw Chen Dong’s appearance, a cry of cold air was heard in the crowd.
These people were all those who had entered in advance and had not seen Chen Dong’s face in the Tianhua Auction Hall.
However, the Chen Dong at this moment still made these people astonished and shocked.
Even Lord Meng could not help but twist his eyebrows and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Under the attention of the crowd.
Chen Dong, dressed in a suit, his face haggard and tired, slowly pushed Elder Long, who was in a wheelchair, up to Lord Meng.
“What has happened to you? Why are you suddenly so haggard and exhausted?”
In full view of everyone, Lord Meng did not hide the surprise and puzzlement on his face.
Chen Dong smiled bitterly, his tired voice incomparably hoarse, “I still have to ask Lord Meng for more help today.”
Help?
Lord Meng locked eyes with Chen Dong, his pupils tightening.
With his status, how could he not hear the implication beyond the strings of these words?
At the same time.
When Chen Dong’s words fell on the ears of the people present.
The expressions of the crowd also turned complicated and strange.
For those who had just speculated, Chen Dong’s words were just what they wanted.
For a while, the crowd was in a state of disbelief.
Some smiled sarcastically.
Some people’s eyes turned cold.
There were also those who looked gloomy and shook their heads with a sigh.
“Pity pity pity, the Chen family young master has become a dog in mourning after all, at the Chen family lord’s birthday banquet, he was set to take the young family lord’s position, I’m afraid it was the most glorious moment of his life!”
“Sigh …… A phoenix that has lost its feathers is no better than a chicken, without his father as his backer, even if he is good, he is still nothing.”
“This auction today, there is no longer any suspense, you can bid recklessly!”
……
For a while, those who approached each other exchanged pleasantries.
Some people, even, had become less scrupulous and their voices were no longer subtle.
These voices, when they fell on Chen Dong’s ears, were a heartbeat away.
The Lord Meng in front of him, on the other hand, had an ugly face.
This kid is using me …… to deliberately act out this bitter ploy?
“This kid is a pervert? He’s not comfortable until the world sings his praises?”
This was the thought in Lord Meng’s mind.
But it was not enough to annoy him.
Since he had agreed to help Chen Dong host the auction, there was no need for Lord Meng to leave the venue in anger because of Chen Dong’s remark.
It was just that the look in Chen Dong’s eyes was much odder, and even carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
“The people have almost arrived, let’s start the auction.”
Chapter 1410
“Thank you for your hard work, Lord Meng.”
Chen Dong nodded his head in greeting.
This scene, together with his haggard face, once again deepened the speculation that Chen Dong was in decline when it fell into the eyes of the crowd.
What was once Chen Dong’s vigour and vitality?
At Chen Daolin’s birthday banquet, Chen Dong was so young and frivolous?
But now …… is haggard, tired and humble.
If it wasn’t for the havoc added to the body, would it have changed a person completely in such a short period of time?
As Lord Meng ascended the stage.
The crowd also took their seats, and all of them rose up with eager anticipation.
The two days of buildup and fermentation had given everyone a rough idea of the ten plots of land that were about to be auctioned.
And Chen Dong also took his seat with them, his whole body bowed, his hands folded and propped on his knees, propping up his chin, giving the impression of a heartbroken and vaguely expectant man.
On the side, Old Long, Zhuge Qing and the others, although still bewildered, did not in any way prevent them from making a gloomy and despondent appearance along with Chen Dong.
The auction stage.
In full view of all eyes.
Surrounded by the spotlight, Lord Meng appeared to be looking away, but in fact, he swept the corner of his eyes to see Chen Dong and the others on the stage, and cursed in his heart: this group of people, they really know how to act!
He took a deep breath.
Lord Meng no longer delayed, and with a smile on his face, he looked at the whole audience.
“Thank you all for coming to this land auction amidst your busy schedules, and I am honoured to be the main auctioneer for this auction, so now, let’s start the auction of the first piece of land.”
Few pleasantries were exchanged and not too many words were spoken.
Lord Meng moved the process straight into the auction.
The words fell.
On the huge video screen behind Lord Meng, information on the first piece of land up for auction was then displayed.
The moment the information was made public.
Boom!
The whole room was in an uproar.
“This, this is a local plot of land? As soon as it was offered, it was auctioned straight to the core?”
“Mr. Chen is so generous! A plot of land like this will definitely skyrocket in value in time!”
“Imperative, this place is imperative to me!”
……
The crowd was boisterous.
No one expected that the first piece of land would be such a big deal!
Even if all the people here were giants and masters of the region, they could not remain calm at this moment.
In the vast southwestern region, Chen Dong had countless pieces of good land in his hands from the previous month’s frenzied land grab.
But the moment he made his bid, it was directly local land, which far exceeded everyone’s expectations.
Yike has fully entered the southwest region.
The joint venture with the Dingsheng Consortium to create the “Wall Street of the East”.
The relocation of the Ding Sheng Consortium’s headquarters.
These three events all point to the southwest region.
But it is clear to everyone that the scope of the southwest region is too broad, and the real core circle is in the local area and then radiates out towards the whole southwest region.
This means that in a very short period of time in the future.
Everything in the local area will undergo a radical change.
According to normal thinking, Chen Dong should have firmly consolidated his control over the local area of influence.
The fact that the first piece of land is now local has shocked the crowd and at the same time made them vaguely aware of the majestic pressure that Chen Dong is bearing at this time.
What is the difference between selling the land of one’s home base and a gecko breaking its tail to survive?
Had Chen Dong really …… reached a precarious point?
Inside the auction house, there were a series of shouts of shock.
This scene, just take a picture and throw it out, is enough to shake the world!
The actual fact is that the actual people at the helm of these forces, who are usually unseen by gods and goddesses, would actually have such a disorderly scene?
It was only that those who could enter the auction house had been strictly screened.
It was extremely difficult for information from the venue to get out.
Unless the giants and bigwigs present did it themselves, but at their level, they all cherished their feathers and their faces were more important than anything else.
Of course, there was also a situation.
Amongst the crowd, there were those who secretly raised their mobile phones, transmitting everything that was going on in the auction house.
These …… were the white gloves of the major powers!
The news from the southwest region shocked the world.
It drew the attention of the world.
Some of these forces were not comfortable going down in person, which was why they sent these spokespeople.
These people seem to be beautiful, but in reality, they are just puppets of the forces behind them.
……
The Chen family.
Chen Daocheng sat with a few people, looking at the computer screen in front of them with a shocked expression.
The content of the video on the computer screen was clearly what was happening in the Mountain and Sea Hall of the Tianhua Auction House.
“Brother Dao Cheng, is it hard to believe that this wild B*****d has really suffered a great calamity? Otherwise, with his heart, he wouldn’t be able to drink hemlock and quench his thirst like directly auctioning off the land where his Dingtai is located!”
“Chen Dong wants to build his base camp in the southwest region, the home city where Din Tai is located, is the core of the core, not to mention him, even a normal person knows that he is firmly in control of the core land, and he gave it up for sale with this bid?”
……
Several people were discussing with each other, all feeling incredulous.
The voices of several people echoed in their ears.
Chen Daocheng’s eyebrows tightened into a “Chuan”, staring profoundly at what was happening on the video.
Even with his many years of experience, he was still a bit confused by Chen Dong’s first piece of land.
A broken arm for survival?
Had this kid really encountered some big trouble?
From the information he had, Chen Dong’s recent situation was simply calm and quiet, very different from what was being shown in front of him!
Chen Daocheng’s mind was in a tangle of thoughts as he saw that the video had already entered the auction.
He couldn’t afford to look deeper, and with a grit of his teeth, he decisively said, “Let the white gloves swallow this piece of land regardless of everything, since he’s giving up his core plot of land so much, we won’t take it for nothing.”
They were trying to completely suppress Chen Dong, so that he would never have a chance to make a name for himself again.
Chen Dong and Rothschild wanted to build this plate of the southwest region, and their influx into the southwest region was to completely break this plate.
Now Chen Dong is directly auctioning off the land parcels in the core region, just as Chen Daocheng’s wish.
Meanwhile.
In Old Lady Chen’s courtyard.
“Mom, what kind of tricks is this wild B*****d playing? He’s not trying to build his own base camp, he’s clearly trying to demolish the family!”
Chen Daoping watched the video with a dumbfounded expression.
Old Mrs. Chen twirled her Buddhist beads lightly as she pondered.
“Dao Ping, you go out first.”
“Mom, why are you asking me to go out at this juncture?” Chen Daoping said in dismay.
“Go out and cool off, I’ll call you in later.”
Chen Daoping: “……”
But to Old Mrs. Chen, he did not dare to disobey, so he immediately turned around and left the room.
After waiting for a while.
Old Mrs. Chen took out her mobile phone, and when the call was answered, she spoke straightforwardly.
“Sister, the Gu family won’t help me settle the sky-high bounty, but this time, you have to help me!”
On the other side.
In Chen Dao Ye’s mansion.
As a faction of the family head, Chen Daoye’s few people were considered to be the only people in the Chen family today who strongly supported Chen Dong.
At this moment, they were also confused by the video in front of them.
While Chen Daoye was frowning and thinking deeply, his mobile phone rang with a message.
When he picked it up and took a look, a bright aura burst out of his eyes.
The text message was from Chen Dong and the content was simple, just a few words.
“Uncle Dao Ye, do your nephew a favour ……”
