Chapter 933: Chapter 933: Auction Victory, Shocking Everyone
Hu Director’s words fell, and a crowd of rich merchants cast strange looks towards Liu Zixuan.
They were also very curious about what identity this young man held, daring to sit here and auction for this sky-high priced land!
It’s known that among the wealthy merchants who just withdrew, there were some famous rich people in Star Sea, and even they did not have the confidence to compete like this.
Seeing Liu Zixuan hasn’t spoken yet, the woman from Shanshui Group mocked, "Could it be someone pretending to be a wealthy merchant? If so, Hu Director should expel him!"
"This..." Hu Director was also stunned for a moment, faintly thinking of calling security.
While he hesitated, Liu Zixuan suddenly laughed and looked meaningfully at the woman, asking, "Is this how one of the Patriarchs of the Four Great Clans, the Shi Family, taught you to speak to people?"
"How do you know I’m from the Shi Family?"
The woman’s expression immediately changed; the acquisition of Shanshui Group by the Shi Family was only known within the Celestial Dao Alliance. Even those disciples below weren’t aware, so what identity does this young man have, knowing such a secret?
"I’m not a big deal, but earlier your Shi Family Patriarch would still call me Master Xuan," Liu Zixuan smiled slightly.
Plop!
The originally astonished woman sat down on the chair, her shock turning into amazement, staring wide-eyed and murmuring: "You are the Liu Zixuan who won first place in the martial arts tournament and was selected by the Profound Sword Sect?"
"Just mentioned my past title, it seems the Shi Family Patriarch didn’t tell you about the matters after the establishment of the Celestial Dao Alliance!"
Liu Zixuan then turned to Hu Director: "Titles mean little in auctions, as for my identity, Hu Director should be familiar with Xiumei Group!"
"Of course I’m familiar, Xiumei Group’s branch is right in Yuqing City, and it’s also the largest company locally. You just said you’re Liu Zixuan, could you be the one who founded Xiumei Group?" Hu Director’s expression turned respectful.
Liu Zixuan nodded with a smile: "So, gentlemen, with the name Liu Zixuan, regardless of title or status, is there qualification to join this auction?"
"Yes! Must have!" Hu Director nodded repeatedly, cold sweat appearing on his forehead, clearly a bit frightened. Xiumei Group’s influence in Yuqing City is immense, offending this gentleman could cost him his job.
As for the woman, she sat there in shock, slowly nodding.
"Since it’s acknowledged, let’s continue." Liu Zixuan cast a peculiar glance at Miyamoto Haoran, then sat down and said.
Miyamoto Haoran’s eyes flickered with an unusual color, quickly disappearing, after which he didn’t speak further.
Hu Director responded: "Then let’s continue the auction for land A. How do the attendees plan to bid?"
"With this young gentleman’s capabilities, let’s follow his earlier suggestion, and candidly reveal the maximum price each can afford. Whoever has the most money gets the land!" Miyamoto Haoran said.
"We... our Shanshui Group can afford at most 150 billion, if you both bid higher than that, we will automatically withdraw," the woman from the Shi Family spoke.
Liu Zixuan is a well-known figure in the Martial Realm, though the woman manages business affairs, she had heard about him in the Shi Family. This time, the Celestial Dao Alliance ordered her to disrupt, not genuinely bid.
Now that her identity is exposed, she naturally won’t deliberately compete further.
"Miyamoto-san, what about you?" Hu Director asked.
Miyamoto Haoran smiled, stood up, and slightly nodded to Liu Zixuan, "It seems they all quite fear you, but I, Miyamoto Haoran, am the second richest in Witch Country, and haven’t been afraid of anyone in terms of wealth. I know the top few rich people in Star Sea, so I’d like to hear Mr. Liu’s bottom price first."
"To put it bluntly, you still think I’m lesser than those rich merchants, indirectly less than you, huh!" Liu Zixuan chuckled.
"Mr. Liu is straightforward." Miyamoto Haoran did not hide anything.
"Let’s put it this way, whatever amount your Miyamoto Clan can offer, I can offer 5 billion more!" Liu Zixuan said, folding his arms and looking at Miyamoto Haoran.
"Isn’t that a bit exaggerated? My Miyamoto Clan is the second wealthiest in Witch Country. If I gamble with all our assets, only the top three rich people in Star Sea could compare!" Miyamoto Haoran said proudly.
"If you bring out all your assets, indeed it’d be that way, but would you do that? Even if you wanted it that much, would the Void Mountain Sect agree?" Liu Zixuan mocked with a smile.
"Hahaha, hearing your name earlier felt familiar; now it seems, you are indeed Liu Zixuan, who once annihilated the Sakura Sect in my Witch Country, Mr. Liu!" Miyamoto Haoran bowed to him.
"Yes, that’s me, not only did I destroy the Sakura Sect, but I nearly killed your Great Elder too!"
Upon hearing Liu Zixuan, the woman beside Miyamoto Haoran showed a glint of coldness in her eyes and slowly stepped forward.
Miyamoto Haoran quickly gestured to stop her, and said to Liu Zixuan: "Your past with the Void Mountain Sect doesn’t concern me much; let’s focus on the auction. Initially, I thought over a thousand billion would secure the land, but since Mr. Liu is here, I’ll represent the family and state our maximum bid."
"How much?" Hu Director asked.
"Two thousand billion!" Miyamoto Haoran abruptly looked at Liu Zixuan: "This number, do you dare match it?"
"Just two thousand billion." Liu Zixuan gave Bei Meiyin a sign. Bei Meiyin immediately took a paper from her bag and walked toward Hu Director.
"Could... could it be the Bei Family Trading Company! May I ask who you are..." Hu Director, seeing the insignia on the paper, respectfully looked at Bei Meiyin.
"Bei Family Trading Company President, Bei Meiyin!"
"So you are Miss Bei, daughter of Sixth Lord of Celestial Capital. Previously I was disrespectful."
Hu Director is merely a district director, whereas the Bei Family’s antique business is the largest nationally; encountering such figures, he naturally has to be polite.
"Miyamoto Haoran, if you are only offering two thousand billion, then this land can only belong to me!" Liu Zixuan mocked with a smile.
"He... can he really offer more than two thousand billion?" Miyamoto Haoran looked at Hu Director in surprise.
Hu Director nodded and waved the ticket in his hand twice: "This is a document issued by the Bei Family Trading Company; just the antiques listed here are worth a billion, if we add Mr. Liu’s Xiumei Group, three thousand billion isn’t out of the question!"
This statement brought astonishment to everyone present!
