Chapter 238 Battle for land, who can have the last laugh
Upon hearing Catherine's offer, Charles was visibly hesitant.
The figure of HK$2000 billion has exceeded the upper limit of the capital flow he can control.
However, thinking about the remaining profit margin, he looked at Guy, who had been silent but eager to give it a try.
"Guy, now is not the time to hold back. We can only defeat Cayman Capital and Blackstone Group by joining forces and gathering the funds of both companies."
Guy nodded without much hesitation:
"The most I can offer is 800 billion Hong Kong dollars. According to the previous agreement, we will each pay half of the auction price, and the project will be divided into two, each with half!"
"Of course!"
In order to give the two people enough time to discuss, the auctioneer deliberately slowed down the pace of the auction.
It took a long time before a sentence came out: "2000 billion for the second time!"
Looking at Charles with longing eyes:
"Is there any higher price?"
How could Charles disappoint people? He raised his sign again:
"Dongdu Company, offer 2500 billion Hong Kong dollars!"
There were gasps and exclamations from below.
Everyone felt that it was an eye-opener and the trip was worthwhile.
Just when they thought the situation was decided, Robert raised his sign again after careful consideration:
"Cayman Capital offers HK$3000 billion!!!"
There was silence in the venue. This offer was unexpected and reasonable.
Wool comes from sheep.
Every penny developers spend on auctions will be reflected in future house prices.
Half of Lantau City will become the new "king of buildings" in Hong Kong City, and the overall cost will exceed history.
At this time, the situation was extremely urgent, and Robert's bid was just above Charles's psychological price.
If the price continues to rise, the cost of this project will be further compressed and it will become a tasteless piece of chicken ribs!
"Now is not the time for the prince to give up. The port city has a large amount of cheap labor. According to our latest estimates, we can save a lot of money in costs.
Or... wait until the real estate prices are high, and then sell some more. "
Guy's abacus is rattling, just to wildly inflate the real estate market in Hong Kong City. As for how much debt the people of Hong Kong City will bear as a result, it is not within their scope of consideration.
After hearing what Guy said, the prince naturally felt no burden in his heart and raised his hands and said:
"3100 billion Hong Kong dollars, let's see who can compete with me!"
Catherine smiled contemptuously:
"Blackstone Group offered HK$3200 billion!"
The prince was furious when he heard this. This woman was obviously summoned by Wang Lei. It was hard to say whether a vice president of the other party could finalize a 3200 billion deal.
He said through gritted teeth:
"3200 billion Hong Kong dollars, no matter how high it is, I, Dongdu Dongxi, will not continue to participate in the bidding."
Charles wanted to threaten Catherine, but to Robert it sounded like a sign of weakness.
"Charles, who are you trying to scare? If you quit, it will just make Cayman Capital cheaper for me."
"3300 billion Hong Kong dollars!"
Guy couldn't calm down either. The computer keyboard of the actuary next to him was almost scratching out sparks. Charles angrily cursed Robert as a madman.
At this time, Charles' inner character weakness was fully exposed. He was like an enraged lion, trying his best to maintain the majesty of his royal family.
Looking at the cursing prince, Guy and others secretly felt that something was wrong. When they tried to stop Charles's mindless charge, Charles had already given his latest offer:
"3400 billion Hong Kong dollars! Farke, come on, keep bidding!"
Robert waved his hand indifferently:
"Congratulations, Prince Charles, you win."
The audience applauded the high price of HK$3400 billion, and some real estate developers in Xizhou sent congratulations to Charles.
But as the winner, Charles was not very happy. The high price of 3400 billion to acquire half of Lantau City was not what he wanted.
This means that his family will spend 1700 billion Hong Kong dollars to give to the Wang Group.
With the funds he has available now, he is destined to be unable to develop half of Lantau City.
Guy was also a little speechless. This victory was destined to be a tragic victory.
It was Krumbauer who comforted the two of them and said:
"You two, we are the ones who have the last laugh. Be happy. The housing prices in Hong Kong City are destined to rise sharply. Even if this land is left undeveloped, it will still be profitable."
People in the minor leagues think this is the reason, and the real estate in Hong Kong City will become more and more popular.
The land price seems high now, but maybe in the future, this cost will be nothing.
What puzzled a group of people was that Wang Lei and his bodyguards came towards them with a smile.
Thinking of something ugly "Stop him!"
Charles, who had a good memory, ordered his subordinates:
Their bodyguards immediately blocked Wang Lei's people in front of them.
"Brothers, I'm just here to talk. This is my territory. If I really want to attack you, I won't wait until now."
"Prince, let this boy come over. I want to hear what he has to say."
"Okay, let him come over."
Wang Lei was amazed:
"I'm here to personally congratulate you two. I'm very grateful to you for your generous donation to help the Wang family solve its debt crisis."
They were obviously winners, but after listening to Wang Lei's words, they felt like they had suffered a big loss.
Seeing that Charles was about to have another attack, Guy stopped him and counterattacked:
"Wang Lei, your Wang family has lost most of the Lantau Island project, so you must feel bad, right?
You couldn't be angry, so you came to us and made sarcastic remarks. "
Speaking of this, both Guy and Charles couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, I'm really here to thank you. If you don't appreciate it, forget it.
Someone will hand over the project to you later, so I'll excuse you. "
Looking at Wang Lei's smile, Guy always had a feeling that something was wrong.
The other party didn't seem to feel disappointed because of missing out on the property. Guy thought of a possibility. Is there something fishy about this Lantau Half City project that they hadn't discovered?
Guy told Charles about this possibility.
"Guy, you must be worrying too much. If the Wang Group really dares to play tricks, its international reputation will be ruined.
By then we don't need to deal with Wang Lei, their Wang family will have a big disaster, and it is not an easy task to restore their credibility. "
"Yes, this is not India, and the Wang Group probably doesn't dare to mess around.
However, we cannot afford to take precautions. We cannot relax our vigilance until we are sure that there is no problem. "
Charles nodded in agreement, but in his mind he was thinking about how to get more benefits from the subsequent negotiations with the Ross family.
