The door to the auction room closed, and the auctioneer came up from the backstage, with a clerk sitting at the table next to him.
Zhu Yu became happy as soon as the auctioneer spoke in English.
In fact, he had been a little worried, after all, they didn't bring Peng Yue with them when they came here.
However, after seeing that many foreign participants seemed to not have translators, Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Now it seems that the auctioneer still takes good care of them.
"Thank you all for coming to this auction." The auctioneer is a local man in his thirties. His voice is very cold and has a slight accent, but it is understandable. "The auction begins now. Land No. 1, Located in the east of Ankar Town, covering an area of 17 hectares, the reserve price is US$150,000, and the auction has begun.”
No one called out the price immediately, everyone was looking at the details of Land No. 1.
Land No. 1 has an irregular pentagonal shape and is composed of four modulus. There is a river nearby. Originally, the main crop was rice, which has not been fully harvested yet. According to the information, the rice on the land belongs to the original owner. The formalities can be completed after the auction, but the handover cannot be completed until the rice is harvested.
Then someone raised their hands:
"One hundred and fifty-five thousand dollars."
"One hundred and sixty thousand dollars!"
…
Obviously, one hectare of land is less than US$10,000, which is lower than the market price. The main reason is that it cannot be handed over now.
Soon, the price of the land was raised to 180,000 US dollars, which was already higher than the market price.
However, everyone's enthusiasm for bidding has not decreased, but has actually increased.
Everyone knows that as long as you get land and grow food now, you will definitely make money when the harvest season comes.
So if you invest more now, your future will be more secure.
"One hundred and eighty thousand!" This time, the Jew raised his hand, number nine.
The Chinese woman Qin Qinyin also raised her hand:
"Two hundred thousand!"
This time, many people were shocked by the raising of placards, so that for half a minute, no one raised their placards again.
Qin Qinyin's first appearance was perfect.
There was a glimmer of pride in her eyes.
very good.
But then, the man who was on the phone earlier raised his hand:
"Twenty-one thousand dollars."
Very plainly, this price, which many people consider to be a high price, breaks down.
The smile on Qin Qinyin's face disappeared.
She looked towards Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu ignored her and those who bid.
On the 17th, Andre held up a wine bottle and shouted loudly:
"Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars!"
This price immediately caused an exclamation!
The average price has exceeded US$15,000 per hectare!
This price is a bit exaggerated!
Fifty percent higher than the market price!
Andre enjoyed this feeling very much. He took a sip of wine and then raised the bottle around to gesture.
The auctioneer saw the brief silence and immediately said loudly:
"Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. VIP No. 17 bids us two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Is there any price higher than this? Two hundred fifty thousand dollars for the first time..."
"Two hundred and sixty thousand dollars." The Jew raised his sign, the clouds were calm and the wind was clear.
Everyone looked at Andre, but Andre sat down, holding the wine bottle, and said nothing.
Number 12, who was holding the mobile phone, raised his hand:
"Two hundred and sixty-five thousand U.S. dollars." Obviously, this price was very high for him, and the increase became five thousand U.S. dollars.
The auctioneer was very excited. The first piece sold for such a high price. Wouldn’t he go crazy after that?
"Two hundred and seventy thousand dollars." The Jew followed up quickly.
"Two hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars." No. 12 spoke again.
"Two hundred and eighty thousand dollars." The Jew took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead for the first time.
Zhu Yu could see that there was a slight drop of sweat oozing out there.
Number 12 no longer holds up his sign.
"Two hundred and eighty thousand dollars, VIP No. 9 bids two hundred and eighty thousand dollars!" The auctioneer's voice trembled with excitement. This was really beyond his expectation, but he also wanted to see if anyone could raise the bid:
"Is there any increase in price? The first time is US$280,000. Is there any increase in price? The second time is US$280,000..."
Qin Qinyin's eyes fell on Zhu Yu.
She didn't see Zhu Yu take action in the previous fights, but her intuition made her sure that this man would definitely take action!
"Two hundred and ninety thousand dollars." Zhu Yu raised his hand.
Qin Qinyin breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight smile on his face.
"VIP No. 16! It's VIP No. 16!" The auctioneer's voice broke. "VIP No. 16 bids 290,000 US dollars! 290,000 US dollars, 290,000 US dollars for the first time, is there any The price is increased..."
"Two hundred and ninety-five thousand!" The Jew turned his head and glanced at Zhu Yu coldly, then raised his sign again.
"Three hundred thousand dollars." Zhu Yu did not hesitate.
"Three hundred and five thousand!" The Jews also began to increase the price by five thousand.
Obviously, the price also exceeded his expectations.
"Three hundred and ten thousand." Zhu Yu followed the price without stopping at all.
The Jew hesitated and did not continue.
"$310,000. The distinguished guest on the 16th bid $310,000, the first time is $310,000, the second time is $310,000, and the third time is $310,000! The deal is done! Congratulations to Sixteenth VIP No. 1 won the auction for Land No. 1!"
After the land auction on the 1st ended, and before the 2nd land auction started, the discussion in the auction house suddenly became louder.
“The price of the first piece of land is so high, but I don’t know how high it will be in the future!”
"What can we do? The market is like this now. I have prepared two hundred thousand dollars to participate in the auction this time. Now it seems that I really can't buy land with this little money."
"Don't be discouraged yet. Look, there are still ten hectares of land behind..."
"I've seen that piece of land. The transportation around the land is developed. The facilities left by the original farmer are very complete. He didn't even take away the tractor. This ten-hectare piece of land, according to the current market price, is worth at least 250,000... …”
Andre came over with a smile and a bottle:
"Young man, you did a good job! I just can't stand those people. You slapped them in the face and made me happy! Congratulations!"
After saying that, he raised his head and took a sip of wine, patted Zhu Yu on the shoulder, and walked back to his seat.
The Jew glared at him, but Andre didn't care at all and just laughed at the Jew.
No. 12 still had a grimace on his face and took out his cell phone to make a call.
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhu." Qin Qinyin also came over and whispered, "It's just now..."
"There is no way." Zhu Yu spread his hands and said, "I didn't expect such a high price..."
Qin Qinyin had nothing to say. After all, Zhu Yu was the one who quoted the last price and was arguing with the Jews. The high price she mentioned was not pushed by Zhu Yu.
"Next, we will conduct the auction of land No. 2..." The auctioneer's voice interrupted Qin Qinyin's continued words.
She cheered up and planned to make a good plan this time and try to capture a piece of land.
Land No. 2 has a total of three modulus, which is equivalent to 125 hectares of land. This land is located in a town more than thirty kilometers away from Zhu Yu's town. Backing the mountain here, tobacco leaves were planted last season and have been harvested. They are currently in a wasteland state.
Because the distance is relatively long and transportation is not very convenient, the base price is US$700,000.
"The auction begins..."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a group of people immediately raised their placards!
"Seven hundred thousand dollars!"
"Seven hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars!"
"Seven hundred and thirty thousand dollars!"
…
Less than a minute after the auctioneer's voice fell, the price had already reached 750,000 US dollars, and people were still raising placards.
The enthusiasm even surprised the auctioneer!
But then he was ecstatic!
The higher the auction price, the higher the commission he can get!
Apparently, today is his lucky day!
When the auction price rose to $870,000, the heat subsided.
At this time, the man No. 12 raised his sign:
"A million dollars!"
Everyone knows that with the current price increase trend, the final auction price of land No. 2 will not be less than 1.5 million US dollars, but the price of land No. 12 suddenly increased by 130,000 US dollars, pushing the price to 1.5 million US dollars. Even though it was a million dollars, it still shocked everyone.
However, when he quoted the price on the 12th, his face was still bitter, and he didn't seem to think that he had done something very surprising to everyone.
Half a minute later, Qin Qinyin raised a sign:
"One million and a half million dollars."
These two price increases were so large that many small land merchants or farmers withdrew their brands.
Their net worth could no longer support the price of this land.
Next, about seven or eight businessmen began to set prices one by one, and the price soon rose to 1.2 million US dollars.
This is almost the average land price in the current market.
But everyone knows that starting today, this price will become history. At this price, it is impossible to buy land in the land market.
Andre took a sip of wine and then held up the sign:
"One million three hundred thousand dollars!"
The price increased by one hundred thousand dollars, which was comparable to No. 12's previous operation, but it didn't have the same intimidating power as before.
There was only a pause of seven or eight seconds, and then someone spoke:
"$1.31 million."
"One million, three hundred and thirty thousand!"
At this time, the people holding the placards were still very excited, until the price rose to 1.51 million US dollars, Jew No. 9 made a move:
"$1.58 million!"
To be honest, the advantages of this land are not great.
But there are still people fighting hard.
It's just that they are getting more and more desperate, and they can't compete with those big land merchants.
Placard No. 12:
"$1.6 million."
"One million and sixty-one million." Andre raised his hand again.
The one who surpassed him was Qin Qinyin:
"$1.65 million!" This was the highest price in her mind.
However, the Jewish voice broke her dream.
"$1.66 million."
Then Andre shouted another price:
"One million seven hundred thousand dollars."
After shouting, Andre put down the bottle.
His meaning is very clear, if someone raises the price, then he will no longer follow.
This was his final bid for Land No. 2.
However, No. 12 disappointed him again:
"$1.72 million."
No. 12 still had a grimace on his face and didn't look at anyone. It seemed that this price increase would cost him a lot.
The Jews raised the price to $1.75 million.
Everyone else stopped talking. The supporting facilities of this land were not so complete. In the eyes of many people, it was not worth the price at all.
Just like the iron dragons that were made of bricks in the jade market a long time ago. The price of bean seeds was photographed.
People sigh, but they also know that the market has changed.
Many people looked at Zhu Yu.
In their opinion, this hidden Chinese person will definitely get involved in the end.
Sure enough, when the Jews raised the price to US$1.81 million and stopped following on the 12th, Zhu Yu held up a sign:
"$1.85 million."
This bid was not high, but it directly detonated the atmosphere on the field!
Sure enough, he took action again!
Even Qin Qinyin felt that Zhu Yu's move was just right this time.
Because the way the Jew looked before was really annoying!
"One million nine hundred thousand dollars!" The Jew gave Zhu Yu a sharp look and quoted a high price again.
"1.95 million US dollars." Zhu Yu didn't show any weakness.
Anyway, the U.S. dollar is really worthless now, and the dollars spent are the good dollars.
"$1.99 million!"
"Two million."
"Two million and one million!" The Jews raised their placards again.
"Two million and two million!" Zhu Yu showed no sign of weakness.
Jews give up.
"Congratulations to distinguished guest No. 16 for obtaining the title of land No. 2!" The auctioneer bowed to Zhu Yu this time.
Many people also applauded.
Zhu Yu was a little surprised, what is this applause for?
Subsequently, filming began on Land No. 3.
Land No. 3 covers an area of fifty-five hectares and is just outside the city.
Two pieces of land have been harvested. Although the land price is a bit high, Zhu Yu feels that it is not bad.
At least this land is freehold.
Of course, whether it can last forever depends on how long the country of Brazil remains calm.
In today’s society, no one can guarantee this.
But Zhu Yu wouldn't think so much.
In his hand, there were too many US dollars that were not visible to the public, or that could not be spent.
Rather than leaving it in the space, it is better to take it out and buy the land. This is still a legitimate transaction.
The third piece of land, without exception, was won by Zhu Yu in the end.
The first part is a coincidence, the second part is a coincidence, is the third part also a coincidence?
Now, whether it was Jew No. 9, grim-faced man No. 12, or Andre No. 17, the looks he looked at Zhu Yu became complicated.
Even Qin Qinyin felt that if he didn't do something, he might not be able to get a piece of soil this time.
But she couldn't say anything yet.
Every time she couldn't compete with a Jew or a man with a sad face, Zhu Yu would raise his card to participate in the photo shoot and then win.
Who can be blamed for insufficient funds?
The fourth piece of land is a small plot of ten hectares that was discussed earlier, but the supporting facilities are very good.
There are covered bungalows, warehouses and sheds for storing tractors on the edge of the plot.
Another advantage of this small farm is that all the hired workers are there. As long as you take over, you can start farming directly.
Very desirable for a small farm.
So the base price was directly raised to 150,000 US dollars.
There are also many people who are interested in this farm, and people are raising placards one after another.
"One hundred and sixty thousand!"
"One hundred and seventy thousand!"
"One hundred and eighty thousand!"
"Two hundred thousand!"
…
The price was soon pushed to 230,000 US dollars, and at this time there were fewer people raising placards.
At more than twice the market price, some people already feel that it is not worth it.
"Boss, it seems that the land price this year is incredible." Cao Dalong sighed, "That's 150 acres of land. If we put it there, the annual contract fee would be less than 100,000 yuan..."
"This is a life-long property purchase." Qin Fei waved his hand, "Can it be the same?"
"That's right." Cao Dalong nodded seriously, "Looking at the enthusiasm, I'm going to take part..."
"Then take a picture and give it to you?" Zhu Yu said with a smile.
"Farewell." Cao Dalong waved his hand hurriedly, "I can't stay here. You have traveled all over the world with the boss. It's okay to spend a vacation in a place like this. If I want to stay for a long time, I might as well go to your big island. "
"That's right." Ran Jie said the same thing.
While several people were talking, the price of the land had risen to US$250,000, and finally there were only a few people left.
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars was the price quoted by Andre. He glanced at Zhu Yu, as if he wanted Zhu Yu not to bid.
Zhu Yu didn't respond.
Friendship is friendship, business is business.
Moreover, the two of them have little friendship.
Zhu Yu didn't say anything, but he didn't make a price either. Andre smiled.
But his smile didn't last long. As soon as the auctioneer called the price of $250,000 twice, the Jew immediately held up the sign.
"Two hundred and sixty thousand dollars!"
The bitter-faced man glanced at Zhu Yu and said nothing.
Andre struggled for a moment and raised his sign again:
"Two hundred and seventy thousand dollars!"
Jewish quote:
"Two hundred and eighty thousand dollars!"
It seems that there is a conflict with Andre.
Andre looked at the map of the ten hectares of land and finally gave up.
It's almost three times the price, not worth it.
The grim-faced man lowered his head and said nothing.
The auctioneer made two bids and when he was about to raise the hammer, he looked at Zhu Yu.
Sure enough, Zhu Yu quoted again:
"Three hundred thousand dollars!"
Once he opened his mouth, the Jew and the grim-faced man were shocked.
Even though the auctioneer spoke again, they didn't say anything.
Fixed price.
The auction that followed was a bit lackluster.
Zhu Yu spent a total of more than 30 million US dollars to purchase 21 acres of land, approximately 1,600 hectares.
The average price is approximately US$20,000 per hectare.
The auction ends in the morning.
Except for Zhu Yu, no one succeeded in bidding!
During the lunch break, Andre walked next to Zhu Yu in the cafeteria and said while holding pieces of meat:
"You have now successfully become the enemy of the four major land merchants. They will definitely make some plot against you this afternoon. Friends, do you want to join forces?"
"No." Zhu Yu waved his hand, "I'm used to coming alone."
"Okay." Andre shrugged, "In that case, if I confront you this afternoon, I won't show mercy."
"Everyone depends on their ability." Zhu Yu picked up the meat and walked back to his seat.
"I saw Jew No. 9 going out." Qin Fei whispered from his seat, "I suspect he went to negotiate terms with the organizer."
"Why do you care so much about him? God will kill God if he blocks it, and Buddha will kill Buddha if he blocks Buddha. It's just about comparing who has more money!" Cao Dalong didn't care. "As long as real money and silver are given, how can he restrict the boss?"
Zhu Yu frowned and said:
"I'll go out later. Qin Fei, you and Dalong go out with me and stay in the car. I'll call you if anything happens."
"Okay." Qin Fei agreed without asking why.
After eating, Zhu Yu hurried to the parking lot, fiddled in the trunk for a while, and then let Qin Fei and the others go to the car while he walked back to the auction house.
When the auction started again, there had indeed been a change! (End of chapter)
