My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 484: Which Plot of Land Can Actually Be Purchased
Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Which Plot of Land Can Actually Be Purchased
"Our business is really tough to manage now," Mr. Lin lamented. "Otherwise, why would we really need to attend the auction today?"
In the past, attending was merely a formality, as we would have already determined the appropriate price.
But today was different; we had no idea what the most suitable price would be and had to bid blindly.
"Last time it was you who spread baseless rumors without any evidence," Mr. Lin pulled out his phone from his pocket and pressed play.
"There’s a lucky character in Zhou Shuyan’s name. Look at how capable Zhou Shuyan is. It wouldn’t hurt to associate with him and possibly gain some benefits."
The phone played back the words Lu Youxi had just spoken.
"With those words, isn’t it clear that Lu Youxi named Youshu Real Estate targeting Zhou Shuyan’s name?" Mr. Lin scoffed, "Guess if Zhou Shuyan would be pleased to hear about this?"
Lin Jingshen’s expression shifted slightly.
His father was right; last time he spread rumors without proof, and that’s why Zhou Shuyan was angry.
But this time, they had solid evidence!
Words straight from Lu Youxi’s mouth!
Surely Zhou Shuyan couldn’t blame them?
"So, how are we going to let Zhou Shuyan know?" asked Lin Jingshen.
Since his father, Mr. Lin, was there, Lin Jingshen decided not to worry about the plan.
Mr. Lin nudged Lin Jingshen, and they were in one of the front rows.
Although their business was struggling, Lin’s still held a position in the real estate industry.
As they walked forward, Mr. Lin whispered to Lin Jingshen, "This time, we shall openly set the stage."
"We’ve been wanting to clear the misunderstanding with Zhou Shuyan, but never got the chance to meet him. This is the perfect opportunity to say we’ve got evidence, something very important to discuss. It’s the chance to apologize for the last incident," Mr. Lin explained.
"Then play the words spoken by Lu Youxi to Zhou Shuyan to prove we did not spread rumors last time. It was indeed Lu Youxi who always had the intention to leverage," Mr. Lin already had the plan carved out.
He even sighed in relief, "With this, our family can relax a bit and go back to how things used to be."
Encouraged by Mr. Lin’s words, Lin Jingshen also felt confident.
Thus, the two returned to their seats in high spirits.
Zhu Yali, Lu Youxi’s assistant, withdrew her gaze from Mr. Lin and Lin Jingshen and spoke softly to Lu Youxi, "President Lu, why do Lin Zhenghao and Lin Jingshen suddenly look so happy? They were quite upset just a moment ago."
Lin Zhenghao, Lin Jingshen’s father.
"Who knows what crooked ideas they’ve come up with this time," Lu Youxi responded nonchalantly, "Don’t worry about them."
The people from Lin’s, only Mr. Lin used to be somewhat sensible.
In the previous life, although Lin’s didn’t grow much under Mr. Lin, it was at least stable.
It was when it reached the hands of the Lin brothers that the business started to decline, even nearly going bankrupt.
But this lifetime, it seems Lin Jingshen’s foolishness emerged sooner, apparently making Mr. Lin even more foolish.
"But, you were quite rude to them just now. They are, after all, veterans in the real estate industry; what if they try to sabotage us?" Zhu Yali voiced her concerns.
"Don’t be afraid," Lu Youxi declared, "They are too busy with their own troubles to cause us any. Just you wait, their ill-conceived plans will backfire."
Zhu Yali didn’t know where Lu Youxi’s confidence came from, but seeing her so sure made her feel much more at ease.
Soon after, the land auction officially began.
The auction progressed, announcing each parcel of land one by one.
Each company submitted their bids, and the highest bidder won.
"The first plot is located in the East City District on Jianguo Road, adjacent to Jiayuexing Supermarket, spanning six thousand square meters," announced the staff conducting the auction. "Right in front of Jiayuexing Supermarket, there is a subway station."
"Moreover, by the end of this year, at the intersection of Ronghua Road and Jianguo Road, which is just one subway stop away from Jiayuexing Supermarket, there will be a construction of Qinyang Department Store, focusing on high-end luxury goods. This location is excellent, as Qinyang Department Store will attract many high-spending groups."
"Enterprises interested in this plot can submit your bids."
Mr. Lin nodded, and his assistant submitted their bid.
Lin Jingshen looked back towards Lu Youxi’s direction, noting she and her assistant were calmly seated without any intent to move.
Mr. Lin noticed and asked, "They’re not bidding?"
Lin Jingshen shook his head, "Where would they get the money to buy this plot?"
Mr. Lin snorted, "So broke, and yet she had the nerve to be so arrogant just now."
"The next plot..." the staff continued.
As they introduced the next plot, teams and supervisors opened the bids from the previous round to see which company had won.
The submission for the second plot was over, and the staff announced the auction result for the first plot.
Mr. Lin and Lin Jingshen tensed up.
They had come specifically for this plot today.
"Zhenglin Group," the staff announced, "won with a bid of 2899 yuan per square meter."
Mr. Lin clenched his molars while Lin Jingshen murmured, "How could they raise the price so high? Has the land price in Imperial Capital really skyrocketed this much?"
"Go back and conduct a thorough market study," Mr. Lin instructed his assistant solemnly, "if possible, check the prices offered by other companies. See if Zhenglin Group offered too high a price, or if we, Lin’s, are falling behind the market trends."
"Yes," the assistant nodded. "CEO, should we continue to stay here?"
They had come today for this plot but failed in the auction.
The remaining plots didn’t appeal to them or were out of their price range.
There really was no need to stay any longer.
Lin Jingshen looked back at Lu Youxi again.
Zhu Yali noticed and said to Lu Youxi, "Why does Lin Jingshen keep looking back at you?"
"Don’t mind him, he’s just a nutcase," Lu Youxi rolled her eyes.
Couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Lin Jingshen, always making life difficult for her.
"Dad, shall we go?" Lin Jingshen turned to ask Mr. Lin.
"Don’t you want to see which plot Lu Youxi ends up buying?" Mr. Lin raised an eyebrow.
"I do want to know," Lin Jingshen admitted honestly.
"Frankly, I’m curious too," Mr. Lin chuckled coldly, "Let’s stay and watch what little resources Lu Youxi has to bid on which plot."
Assistant: "..."
This father and son, neither could criticize the other.
Both a bit off their rockers.
Thus, Lin and his son settled back in their seats, deciding not to leave.
The people sitting around them were all familiar faces.
Just after securing the desired plot, the people from Zhenglin Group stood up and left.
