The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Mi Lai's move startled Mi Lixiong, who had previously agreed with Wang Gang that they would give up if the land price exceeded one billion.

Now that land prices have risen to over 1.1 billion, Mi Lixiong was already prepared to leave, but his daughter asked for 1.2 billion!

"Milai, you're insane!"

Mi Lixiong nervously glanced at the people bidding on the scene, his heart pounding. If no one made a bid, the land would be acquired by Mi Lai for 1.2 billion, and he, as her father, would have to pay for it.

“Dad, this was Gao Qiang’s idea,” Milai said to Milingxiong, putting down the sign in her hand.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Milie Bear said angrily.

"Uncle Mi, don't worry! I know what I'm doing." Wang Gang glanced in Lu Tao's direction.

Sure enough, the next moment Lu Tao raised the sign and shouted, "1.21 billion."

When Mili Xiong heard someone make a bid, he breathed a sigh of relief and glared fiercely at his daughter.

Mi Lai then tried to raise her sign to compete with Lu Tao, which startled Mi Lixiong, who quickly held her down.

"Stop causing trouble. At this price, the profit margin after acquiring the land won't be much."

Mi Lai couldn't help but look at Wang Gang.

Without hesitation, Wang Gang raised his sign and said, "1.22 billion."

"You!" Milish saw stars and felt like he needed to pull out some nitroglycerin.

"Uncle Mi, don't worry! Xu Zhisen is determined to get this land and will definitely keep bidding against it," Wang Gang said confidently.

"What if he didn't follow us?" Milie Bear said through gritted teeth.

Xu Zhisen and Lu Tao whispered to each other over there, and did not raise their placards immediately.

Most people at the scene realized that Lu Tao and Wang Gang were having a fight, and following them was definitely not a good idea, so they all said they would give up.

Mili Xiong looked at the auctioneer, sweating profusely.

The auctioneer glanced at everyone, then held up one finger.

"1.22 billion is the first time."

Mili Xiong gasped, then pulled out his nitroglycerin pills and swallowed two.

Wang Gang remained calm and composed, even giving Lu Tao a provocative glance.

Lu Tao was also very nervous and asked Xu Zhisen, "Dad, shall we continue filming?"

Xu Zhisen's face was gloomy. The price of 1.22 billion had exceeded his budget, but there was still a profit to be made.

"shoot."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tao quickly raised the sign and shouted, "1.23 billion."

Mili Xiong slumped into a chair and slowly exhaled.

To his utter surprise, Mi Lai snatched the sign from Wang Gang's hand, stood up, and shouted, "1.24 billion!"

Mili Xiong slid off the chair and plopped down on the floor.

"Mi Lai!?"

Mi Lai proudly waved the sign and said to Lu Tao, "Lu Tao, how about it? Do you dare to follow along?"

"You're crazy."

A piece of land worth about one billion was inflated to 1.24 billion, and many people present looked at Mi Lai with mockery.

Mi Lai bent down to help her father up and said, "Gao Qiang told me to just give him a price, and he'll cover any problems that arise."

With red eyes and heavy breathing, Mi Lixiong glared at Wang Gang and shouted, "Gao Qiang, are you trying to kill me?"

Wang Gang smiled and said, "Uncle Mi, I know what I'm doing."

"You're talking nonsense!" Mi Lixiong's blood pressure rose, his face turned red and his neck thickened, and he shouted, "I won't pay the extra two hundred million."

Wang Gang said confidently, "Uncle Mi, Xu Zhisen will be filming."

Mili Xiong couldn't help but crane his neck to look at Xu Zhisen, only to find that Xu Zhisen was shaking his head at Lu Tao, as if he had given up.

"It's over!" Mi Lixiong thought to himself, realizing the situation was dire. The auctioneer on stage had already begun calling out, "1.24 billion, first bid! Anyone else offering a higher price?"

The auctioneer deliberately waited two seconds, looked around twice, and when no one raised their paddle, announced, "1.24 billion, second time."

Upon hearing this, Mili Xiong clutched his heart, feeling that Mili should call an ambulance.

The auctioneer, ignoring Mi Lixiong's grim expression, continued, "1.24 billion, the..."

Mili Xiong's heart leaped into his throat, his breath caught in his throat, his right hand clutching his chest almost tearing his clothes apart, his eyes fixed on the auctioneer's gavel.

Just as the hammer was about to fall, Lu Tao suddenly let out a strange cry and jumped up from his chair.

The auctioneer immediately stopped and pointed at Lu Tao, shouting, "1.25 billion! Any higher bids?"

When Lu Tao jumped up, he subconsciously held up his paddle as well, and the auctioneer subconsciously assumed he was making a bid.

"No, no!" Lu Tao cried out in panic.
"Lu Tao, what are you doing? Didn't I say I was giving up?" Xu Zhisen grabbed Lu Tao's arm and exclaimed.

"Dad, no, I didn't hold up the sign." Lu Tao was almost in tears.

His buttocks suddenly felt like they were being pricked with needles, which is why he stood up unconsciously, not because he was offering a price!

Lu Tao touched his buttocks and found that there was indeed a needle stuck in the left side.

"Which bastard did this?" Lu Tao looked around, and everyone was looking at him like he was an idiot.

"Auctioneer, I didn't bid, so it doesn't count, it doesn't count," Lu Tao stammered.

"This auction is based on bidding, with each bid representing ten million more." The auctioneer naturally ignored Lu Tao's blunder.

Lu Tao wanted to explain, but Xu Zhisen quickly pulled him down to sit.

"Stop talking, you'll make a fool of yourself." Xu Zhisen's face was ashen and extremely unpleasant.

"Dad, I really got pricked by a needle." Lu Tao took out the needle.

"What do you think this place is?" Xu Zhisen said with exasperation, "Who can believe such an absurd reason?" Xu Zhisen pressed down hard on the sign, deeply regretting letting his son hold it up for him.

"What should we do now?" Lu Tao was almost in tears.

"Don't rush, let's see if anyone else makes a bid." Xu Zhisen couldn't help but look towards Wang Gang and Mi Lai.

Mi Lai and Wang Gang simultaneously spread their hands, smiling as they indicated they were giving up.

Since Wang Gang didn't have a paddle in his hand, raising his hand didn't represent a bid, so the auctioneer ignored him.

Others also felt the price was too high and expressed their intention to give up.

Xu Zhisen's face grew increasingly dark.

"1.25 billion is the first time."

"1.25 billion, the second time."

"1.25 billion, for the third time."

The auctioneer's gavel fell, and he pointed at Lu Tao, shouting, "Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the ninth plot of land!"

Now it was Lu Tao's turn to collapse to the ground, completely utterly lost.

Xu Zhisen remained relatively calm; although his complexion was poor, he had not lost his composure.

Although the price was 250 million more, Xu Zhisen was used to big occasions and wouldn't lose his composure.

Moreover, if the project is managed well, and construction costs are reduced, there will definitely be a profit, and it won't result in a loss.

With the auction concluded, Mi Lixiong finally relaxed and said fiercely to Wang Gang and Mi Lai, "I'm never bringing you guys again next time. I feel like I'm going to lose a few years of my life this time."

Mi Lai exclaimed dramatically, "Dad, is it really that serious? A mere two hundred million has scared you like that."

Mili Xiong said irritably, "Do you think two hundred million is easy money?"

Mi Lai glanced at Wang Gang and said, "It seems like Gao Qiang makes money pretty easily."

Upon hearing this, Mili Xiong looked constipated. (End of Chapter)
