Chapter 044 Auction
"5500 million!"
"6000 million!"
"6500 million!"
At first, the atmosphere in the auction hall was unprecedentedly enthusiastic, because everyone knew that raising the price now was meaningless, and the final price would be much higher than it was now. They were just talking about it now, and if they waited, they would miss their chance.
Lin Fan was in a hurry to pick up Su Ruowei, as the launch ceremony for the entire development project was to be held in the southern business district that afternoon. Therefore, he directly quoted a price:
"3 million!"
Lin Fan's shout caused an uproar in the audience, directly raising the price to 3 million. This deprived many people of the chance to have their fill, fearing that if they had their fill and then there were no buyers left, they would be out of luck!
Liang Sanhu said to the head of the bodyguards beside him, "That kid is actually quite capable."
The head bodyguard flattered, "Third Master, I think he only has that much money. He just dumped it all at once. I've seen plenty of fools like that."
Liang Sanhu nodded slightly, agreeing with the bodyguard leader's statement, and then shouted loudly:
"3 million!"
Liang Sanhu's shout silenced the entire audience, who all turned to look in the direction of the sound.
When they saw that it was Liang Sanhu, they all started talking about it:
"Isn't this Liang Sanhu?"
"Liang Sanhu from the underground boxing ring!"
"I didn't expect him to participate in the auction as well."
"I heard he's working for Liu Degang now, he must have prepared a lot of money!"
"Who dares to raise the price against him? One of them could take on a hundred of you. Let's hold off for now!"
As Liang Sanhu listened to the crowd's discussions, his vanity was greatly satisfied. Just as he was reveling in this moment, Lin Fan shouted:
"4 million!"
Lin Fan's words made Liang Sanhu's face turn somewhat ugly, and the crowd began to discuss among themselves:
"Not only will this kid fail to hit the ground, he'll probably get a beating afterward."
The head of the bodyguards slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Don't push your luck, kid!"
Lin Fan merely glanced at it after hearing this, showing no intention of paying any attention to it.
Liang Sanhu gestured for the head bodyguard to sit down: "Calm down, everyone's watching. We'll talk about it later."
The head bodyguard understood Liang Sanhu's meaning, nodded, and then whispered, "After this is over, I'll take the brothers and deal with that kid!"
Liang Sanhu calmly continued shouting, "5 million!"
Lin Fan saw that Liang Sanhu was a tough opponent, but he didn't panic at all and shouted again:
"5 million!"
"Fuck your mother!" The head of the bodyguards couldn't help but curse again.
Liang Sanhu was also restless at this moment, barely suppressing his anger, and beckoned to the head of the bodyguards to be quiet:
"9.15 billion."
Lin Fan sneered and said playfully, "Ten million more than him!"
"Fuck your mother!" the bodyguard chief cursed.
Liang Sanhu let out a long sigh of relief and patted his chest:
"5 million!"
"590 million!" Lin Fan shouted calmly.
Liang Sanhu heard Lin Fan still adding more and muttered under his breath, "Damn it!"
Then he shouted, "595 million!"
At this moment, Liang Sanhu thought to himself, "This bastard is either a shill for the auction house or a complete idiot. Either way, he's a hothead who's not afraid of death."
Lin Fan took a deep breath: "6 million!"
After hearing Lin Fan announce 6 million, Liang Sanhu and his group knew that this piece of land was out of their reach.
"Brother, we can't get this piece of land!" the head bodyguard said, glaring in Lin Fan's direction.
Liang Sanhu kept trying to catch his breath, and after a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Damn it! Then let this land become wasteland!"
The head of the bodyguards understood Liang Sanhu's meaning:
"After we were done, we didn't say anything more to the kid, we just killed him."
The host went back to the stage and announced:
"I hereby declare that the land has been won by this mysterious masked man!" He then pointed at Lin Fan and clapped his hands.
The host clapped on stage, while Lin Fan clapped off stage.
The rest of the people dared not utter a sound.
Everyone thought that Liang Sanhu was already furious, and if they added fuel to the fire, it would probably be more than just one person who got beaten up.
The host stood on the stage in a panic, sweating profusely, and stammered, "Actually, as you all know, as a host, clapping is a conditioned reflex. You can understand me, right?" After saying that, he quickly ran off the stage.
Lin Fan ran up to the stage, signed a check for the staff, and completed the handover procedures directly.
While Lin Fan was processing his application, everyone in the audience left, and the staff who had just finished processing Lin Fan's application also hurriedly ran away.
While Lin Fan on stage was still immersed in the joy of winning the land auction, Liang Sanhu and his gang below the stage were already filled with murderous intent.
The bodyguards behind Liang Sanhu all took off their suit jackets, revealing shirt collars. Underneath the shirt collars, there were no other clothes, only gleaming muscles and tattoos all over his body.
"Get him!"
No sooner had Liang Sanhu finished speaking than the head of the bodyguards charged forward, rushing menacingly toward Lin Fan.
Lin Fan calmly prepared to engage in battle.
The head bodyguard leaped onto the stage and threw a powerful straight punch at Lin Fan's face. The punch was powerful enough to shatter stone, but Lin Fan dodged it by simply ducking his head.
"Damn, this little guy is pretty agile!" The bodyguard leader had barely finished speaking when he threw an uppercut.
Lin Fan took a step back and hid again.
The head of the bodyguards angrily glared at the men behind him and shouted:
"Are you all just watching a show? Get him!"
Upon hearing the bodyguard leader's order, several bodyguards rushed forward together.
Four or five bodyguards clenched their fists and swung them at Lin Fan with all their might.
Lin Fan simply dodged, easily avoiding the attacks of the crowd by leaping behind him.
"You bastard! I'll kill you!" The head of the bodyguards was furious when he saw Lin Fan dodging so easily.
After saying that, he struck a boxing stance.
"Straight punch!", "Hook punch!", "Sweep punch!", "Jab!"
The head bodyguard shouted as he fought, each punch carrying a powerful force, his attacks fierce and relentless.
However, the entire process did not touch Lin Fan in the slightest.
The head bodyguard angrily cursed:
"Damn it! If you've got the guts, don't hide and come at me head-on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan threw a punch. Even though he had already reduced his strength by 9% when the punch landed, a sound of a fist hitting flesh was still heard. The bodyguard leader fell to the ground and fainted.
After finishing his sentence, Lin Fan said helplessly, "This is the first time I've ever heard someone make such a request."
The others were terrified when they saw the head bodyguard fall to the ground. They all turned around and looked helplessly at Liang Sanhu.
"I didn't expect you to know some kung fu!" Liang Sanhu had already stepped onto the stage before he finished speaking.
As Liang Sanhu stepped forward, Lin Fan sensed a trace of spiritual energy emanating from him, indicating that this person had practiced breath-holding techniques.
Thinking of this, Liang Sanhu's fist came flying, but Lin Fan dodged to the side and easily avoided it.
"Ha, you're lucky!" Before he finished speaking, Liang Sanhu threw a second punch.
This punch was faster and more ferocious than the last one.
Lin Fan directly sidestepped Liang Sanhu's attack this time.
With a "thud," a fist struck Lin Fan's forearm.
