After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

It was exactly 10:00 AM.

With a crisp strike of the gavel, the auction officially began.

The bidding for the first few small plots of land went smoothly and was over quickly.

At 11 o'clock, the main event finally began.

"Distinguished guests, the next land auction to take place is the most valuable lot of this year's land auction! The prime plot, No. 008, in the eastern suburbs!"

The auctioneer stood on the stage, passionately introducing the auction.

"Starting price: 1.5 billion! Minimum bid increment: 10 million! Bidding begins now!"

"1.52 billion!"

"1.55 billion!"

"Sixteen billion!"

A chorus of bids erupted from the audience, instantly igniting the atmosphere.

Just as the price climbed to 2.9 billion.

Wang Sizhe, who was sitting not far away, suddenly raised the number plate in his hand and shouted loudly:

"Three billion!"

boom!

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

They added a hundred million in one go!

Where did this super-rich tycoon come from? This is completely unpredictable!

Many local developers who originally wanted to join in the bidding were silenced by the terrifying price increase.

Wang Sizhe put down the number plate, glanced provocatively in Jiang Ye's direction, and his eyes were full of smugness.

"This kid is really stupid and rich."

Lei Heng sat next to Jiang Ye, looking at Wang Sizhe's nouveau riche face, and couldn't help but mutter a complaint in a low voice.

"Boss, although this plot of land is large, its location is actually quite remote, and the surrounding amenities are not yet fully developed. The highest valuation our risk control department has given us is only around 3.5 billion. He's asking for 3 billion right off the bat; he's just trying to scare us."

Jiang Ye leaned back in his comfortable chair, his hands crossed in front of his chest, showing no intention of taking a number.

He looked at Wang Sizhe's confident expression and a wicked smile crept onto his lips.

"Since he enjoys being taken advantage of so much, let's play along and have some fun with him."

Jiang Ye turned his head and gave Lei Heng a look that only the two of them could understand.

Lei Heng understood instantly!

This boss is trying to rip people off like crazy!

Lei Heng perked up and immediately raised the number plate in his hand.

"Three billion twenty million!"

Upon hearing that someone dared to bid against him, and that the bid increase was a meager 20 million, Wang Sizhe sneered.

"A poor person is a poor person; even raising the price is so slow!"

Without hesitation, he raised his paddle again: "Three billion!"

"Three billion two hundred million!" Lei Heng followed closely behind, his voice booming.

. . . .

"Forty billion!" Wang Sizhe's eyes turned red, his momentum unstoppable.

"Forty billion twenty million!" Lei Heng remained as steady as an old dog, always adding only twenty million more than Wang Sizhe's bottom line amount each time.

The entire auction venue had completely transformed into a battleground of two gods, Lei Heng and Wang Sizhe!

The entire venue fell silent; everyone held their breath, watching the frantically fluctuating numbers on the screen.

Wang Sizhe was absolutely furious!

Every time he raised the price significantly, trying to overwhelm the other party with his momentum, the bald man surnamed Lei stuck to him like a leech, and each time he would ask for 20 million more!

This feeling is like punching a piece of chewing gum with all your might—it's extremely disgusting!

"Four hundred and five billion!" Wang Sizhe gritted his teeth, sweat already beading on his forehead.

This price far exceeds the actual value of this land by a full billion!

Even if the Wang family of Yanjing is wealthy and powerful, and spends so much money to buy a piece of wasteland, they will definitely get a good scolding from the old man when they get back!

But now he's in a difficult situation!

If he gives up now, he will become a laughingstock in the Hanzhou business community! He will never be able to hold his head high in front of Jiang Ye again!

"Four billion two hundred million!" Lei Heng remained unfazed, smiling as he held up the sign.

. . . . .

Several more rounds of bidding ensued.

"Fifty billion!!!"

Wang Sizhe suddenly stood up and let out a hysterical roar!

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently in Jiang Ye's direction.

Five billion!

The moment this astronomical price was announced, the entire auction hall fell into a deathly silence!

Even the auctioneer on the stage was stunned; his hand holding the gavel was trembling slightly.

"Five...five billion! This gentleman has offered five billion! Is there anyone offering higher?"

The auctioneer swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice.

Wang Sizhe was panting heavily, glaring fiercely at Lei Heng, his eyes seeming to say: Go ahead and add more, you bastard! Go ahead and add more if you dare!

Just when everyone thought Lei Heng would continue to raise his placard,

Jiang Ye, who had been leaning back in his chair watching the show, suddenly reached out a hand and gently pressed it on Lei Heng's arm, which was about to raise the sign.

Jiang Ye gave Lei Heng a look that signaled him to stop.

Lei Heng immediately understood, decisively put down the number plate, and then calmly leaned back in his chair.

"Fifty billion, a first!"

"Fifty billion for the second time!"

"Fifty billion for the third time! Sold! Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully acquiring plot 008 in the eastern suburbs!"

"Bang!"

The gavel fell heavily.

There was a two-second silence in the auction hall, followed by thunderous applause.

Wang Sizhe stood there, watching the gavel fall, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Won!

He finally won a round against Jiang Ye!

He straightened his suit with a smug grin, and walked straight up to Jiang Ye with an air of arrogance.

"How is it, Mr. Jiang?"

Wang Sizhe looked down at Jiang Ye, his face full of the arrogance of a victor.

"Weren't you pretty arrogant just now? Why did you stop following me?"

"Your Kunlun Capital claims to be worth hundreds of billions, but I think you're nothing special! You can't even afford a piece of land worth 5 billion, yet you dare to act all high and mighty in front of me?"

Looking at Wang Sizhe's arrogant and ugly face.

Jiang Ye sat in the chair and couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?!" Wang Sizhe was a little uneasy about Jiang Ye's laughter and angrily questioned him.

Jiang Ye finally managed to stop laughing. He stood up and reached out to pat non-existent dust off his body.

Then, he looked at Wang Sizhe with pity, as if he were looking at an absolute idiot.

"Young Master Wang, I'm laughing at how adorably stupid you are."

Jiang Ye spoke softly, his voice low, yet each word was like a knife.

"As I just said, I just want to build a base to house the servers. Hanju is so big, there's plenty of vacant land in the suburbs, I can build it anywhere."

"I do have tens of billions of dollars in cash flow in my accounts. But I'm a businessman, not a fool."

Jiang Ye pointed to the display map of the land plot on the stage, a cruel sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

"How could I be so stupid as to spend 5 billion to buy a piece of wasteland that's worth at most 3.5 billion?"

"I just had Lao Lei hold up the sign because I thought you were bored, so I played around with you and teased the dog."

boom!

Jiang Ye said these words.

The business tycoons around them, who had been marveling at Wang Sizhe's wealth and arrogance, suddenly realized what was going on!

An uncontrollable murmur immediately erupted from the crowd.

"Holy crap! So that's how it is! President Jiang was deliberately raising prices to rip people off!"

"Fifty billion for that piece of land? The eldest son of the Wang family is probably going to lose everything this time!"

"Yes! That place is in the middle of nowhere; even if you build a commercial complex there, it wouldn't recoup the costs in at least ten or eight years!"

"Throwing in 5 billion in cash, the daily interest alone could bankrupt someone! This young master Wang has practically paid to have a patriarch to worship!"
