Now that they've all been reborn, who wouldn't be living life to the fullest?

Su Yifeng glanced at the woman, but didn't pay much attention, and looked away.

Zhou Fugui leaned closer and lowered his voice, but even after lowering it, it wasn't much lower, and the people in the next few rows could still hear it clearly.

"Brother Su, do you see that woman up ahead?"

"Um."

"She's from Gangcheng, surnamed Shen, Shen Siyu. She works for R&F Properties, ever heard of her?"

Su Yifeng raised an eyebrow. He certainly knew R&F Properties. One of the top real estate companies in Hong Kong, they had started expanding into the mainland several years ago, acquiring considerable land in first-tier cities; they were very powerful.

"Is she also eyeing these assets?" Su Yifeng asked.

"Of course." Zhou Fugui curled his lip. "She flew all the way from Hong Kong, looking determined to win. I bumped into her at the door just now, greeted her, and she just nodded at me without saying a word. So arrogant."

When Zhou Fugui said this, there was a hint of displeasure in his tone, but he didn't dare to speak loudly, since the other person was sitting right in front of him.

Su Yifeng didn't reply, leaning back in his chair and watching the woman's back.

Shen Siyu is from Gangcheng.

R&F Properties.

interesting.

The auction has begun.

A female auctioneer in a dark blue uniform walked onto the stage, holding a small gavel, and gave an opening speech into the microphone, such as "Welcome, bidders" and "This auction follows the principles of openness, fairness and impartiality."

Then the first item for auction was displayed on the big screen—six contiguous plots of land in the south of the city, to be auctioned as a package, with a starting price of 300 million yuan.

"The increment is ten million each time," the auctioneer said. "The bidding will now begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the back row held up a sign.

"Three hundred and ten million."

"Three hundred and twenty million."

"Three hundred and thirty million."

The price wasn't rising quickly, but it wasn't stopping either. There were five or six people holding up paddleboards, scattered throughout the auction hall.

Lan Qimeng sat next to Su Yifeng, holding her number plate without moving. Su Yifeng had told her there was no need to rush; she should wait until the price stopped rising before bidding.

Zhou Fugui was quite enthusiastic, raising his bid twice, but he put it down as soon as someone else raised the price, clearly testing the waters.

When the price reached 390 million, the pace slowed down. Several people began to hesitate, raising their hands to hold up their placards and then lowering them again.

"Three hundred and ninety million, for the first time."

The auctioneer raised his gavel.

At that moment, the woman in the first row raised her sign.

"Four hundred million."

The sound wasn't loud, but the entire auction hall could hear it.

They added ten million at once, and even called it out as a round number.

There was a moment of silence in the auction hall, then someone in the back row raised their paddle again.

"Four hundred and ten million."

Shen Siyu didn't turn around and raised it again.

"Four hundred and thirty million."

They added 20 million directly.

This time, the back row became completely quiet.

Several people who were holding up signs a moment ago have now put them down; some are whispering to each other, while others are busy calculating accounts.

"Four hundred and thirty million, for the first time."

The auctioneer raised his gavel.

"Four hundred and thirty million, for the second time."

Zhou Fugui glanced back at Su Yifeng, his eyes seeming to say, "Brother, Hong Kong businessmen are too ruthless!"

However, Su Yifeng simply nodded to Lan Qimeng.

Lan Qimeng held up the sign.

"Four hundred and fifty million."

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but steady and clear.

All eyes in the auction hall turned to them in an instant.

Shen Siyu also turned around and glanced at Lan Qimeng.

Then her gaze passed over Lan Qimeng and landed on Su Yifeng.

Su Yifeng leaned back in his chair and exchanged a glance with her.

Shen Siyu withdrew her gaze and raised the sign again.

"Four hundred and seventy million."

Lan Qimeng followed suit by raising her sign.

"Four hundred and eighty million."

Shen Siyu raised it again.

"Four hundred and ninety million."

Lan Qimeng glanced at Su Yifeng, who nodded slightly.

"Five hundred million."

Lan Qimeng held up the sign, her voice still steady and clear.

Five hundred million. That's two hundred million more than the starting bid.

A low murmur arose in the auction hall.

Shen Siyu didn't raise her sign immediately. She lowered her head, tapped her fingers twice on the armrest, and then put the sign down.

The auctioneer shouted three times before the gavel fell.

"Sold! Congratulations to this lady!"

Lan Qimeng smiled at Su Yifeng, her eyes shining.

Su Yifeng nodded, his face expressionless, but he was fairly satisfied with the price. Five hundred million was a little lower than his expected price.

The subsequent auctions went much more smoothly.

The university town commercial street had a starting bid of 150 million. Shen Siyu didn't even raise her paddle this time, while Zhou Fugui bid several rounds but withdrew at 190 million. In the end, Lan Qimeng won the bid for 210 million.

The KTV and billiard hall properties had a starting bid of 100 million. This time, there was even less competition; only two or three people raised their paddles, and in the end, Lan Qimeng won them for 130 million.

The entire process took less than an hour and a half, and all three batches of assets fell into Su Yifeng's hands.

Total price: 840 million.

It was less than expected, but with subsequent development, it will cost several billion.

When the auctioneer announced the end of the auction, Zhou Fugui turned around, his face filled with shock.

"Brother Su, you've got them all?"

"Um."

"Over eight hundred million!" Zhou Fugui's voice trembled. "All by yourself?"

"right."

Zhou Fugui opened his mouth, then closed it again.

The way he looked at Su Yifeng had completely changed. Before, it was the kind of appreciation that said, "This young man has some ability," but now it was the kind of shock that made him wonder, "Am I dreaming?"

He had been mining coal in Shanxi for over twenty years, and his net worth was barely five billion yuan. But that was all assets; he could only come up with less than one-tenth of his assets in cash.

This eighteen-year-old in front of me spent over 800 million in a single auction without even blinking.

"Brother Su, tell me the truth," Zhou Fugui leaned closer and lowered his voice, "What exactly does your family do?"

Su Yifeng smiled and said, "I'll do some small business."

"Small business?" Zhou Fugui's face twitched. "You call this a small business? My coal mine is just children playing house."

Just then, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor grew louder as it approached.

Shen Siyu walked over.

She stood in front of Su Yifeng, about a step away.

Up close, she exudes even more elegance than she did from afar.

She's in her early thirties, with very well-maintained skin. Her features aren't strikingly beautiful, but they're pleasing to the eye and grow on you the more you look at them.

Her short hair was styled meticulously, revealing a section of her fair neck, and she wore a pair of pearl earrings that were understated but clearly expensive.

She took a business card out of her suit pocket and handed it to her with both hands.

"Hello, Shen Siyu. R&F Properties."

Su Yifeng stood up, took the business card, and looked at it.

The business card has a light gold background and dark blue lettering that reads "Shen Siyu, Executive Director of R&F Properties Group".

"Su Yifeng. Chengfeng Capital." He also gave his name.

Shen Siyu nodded, a faint smile on her face.

"President Su is young and promising. This batch of assets he's acquired today is quite substantial."

"Mr. Shen, you flatter me."

Shen Siyu withdrew her hand and looked at Su Yifeng with a scrutinizing gaze, but not in a way that made people uncomfortable.

"Ms. Su, I was determined to get that piece of land." She said directly, "I worked on the plan for three months and calculated every detail. My target price was 520 million."

Su Yifeng remained silent.

"But the way you raised your paddle lets me know that if I raise it again, you'll keep going. And you don't care about the price."

She paused.

So I gave up.

Su Yifeng smiled and said, "President Shen is wise."

Shen Siyu smiled too, this time a little bigger than before, revealing a row of neat white teeth.

"President Su, if there's a chance, I'd like to have a chat with you. Not about competition, but about cooperation."

"Can."

Shen Siyu nodded, glanced at Lan Qimeng, gave her a slight nod in greeting, and then turned and left.

Her high heels clicked on the floor, her steps were neither fast nor slow, and her back was ramrod straight.

Zhou Fugui watched her retreating figure, then glanced at the business card in Su Yifeng's hand, and clicked his tongue.

"Brother Su, this woman is notoriously difficult to deal with. It's not easy for her to give you her business card willingly."

"It's all just business."

Su Yifeng put the business card into his pocket.

The three people left the auction hall and walked towards the parking lot.

As they walked to the car, Zhou Fugui grabbed Su Yifeng's arm.

"Brother Su, don't leave tonight, I'll treat you to dinner."

Su Yifeng glanced at him.

Zhou Fugui had an expression on his face that said, "I have something important to discuss with you," which was quite different from his usual carefree and jovial demeanor.

"Okay," Su Yifeng agreed.

Zhou Fugui patted him on the shoulder happily: "Then it's settled! Six o'clock tonight, Nancheng Grand Restaurant, top-floor private room! I've had it booked and sent to you!"

After he finished speaking, he left with his secretary and the woman in the mink coat.

As he got into his black Mercedes and the door closed, Su Yifeng could still hear him saying to the woman inside, "Young people these days are fucking reckless!"
