They would not make any rash decisions because everything was already clear to them.
This was not an auction, but rather a "slaughter" they had planned in advance.
It’s even hard to say if they hadn’t met privately before gathering...
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhao, do you feel the same way?"
Yang Liping took a deep breath and looked at the other two who hadn’t spoken.
These two were the investors she had brought in through personal connections, and they were the ones she had the highest expectations for today.
Both opened their mouths, and though their words were tactful, the implication leaned towards agreeing with Huo Chengrui’s opinion, which undoubtedly threw a bucket of cold water on Yang Liping again.
As an artist by birth, she always had a bit of naive delusion; now she realized, in the face of absolute interests, what good were connections?
"Ms. Yang, there are still two others you haven’t asked."
Xia Xiwei smiled and reminded her.
Yang Liping then remembered something, her eyes lit up and she looked at Zhou Wang and Jiang Yisen.
"What do you two think..."
"Ms. Yang, I’m just here to look on behalf of my brother; as for what decision to make, please wait a moment, I’ll make a phone call and get back to you."
Jiang Yisen shrugged, then took out his phone and went to the side to make a call.
As for Zhou Wang, he smiled and said, "Objectively speaking, 179 million is indeed a bit high, I couldn’t offer such a high price either."
"Then what is your psychological price, Mr. Zhou?"
"Actually, I think around 100 million is about right..."
When realizing others were not fools either, Zhou Wang thought for a moment and directly offered a price based on the lowest psychological price given by the system for Yang Liping.
Upon hearing Zhou Wang’s offer, Yang Liping, who had built up quite a bit of expectation due to the previous minor shock, was immediately disappointed.
She had thought perhaps the young Zhou Wang might give her some kind of different surprise, but now it seemed she overthought...
Indeed, how could someone who built millions from scratch at a young age not be a shrewd and mature businessman?
Xia Xiwei, on the other hand, didn’t find anything wrong with Zhou Wang’s offer. In business terms, everyone else had quoted low; if Zhou Wang quoted high, that would be strange...
Though Xia Xiwei still had some indescribable emotional waves.
Perhaps because she always thought Zhou Wang might be a little different?
Upon hearing Zhou Wang’s quote, Huo Chengrui glanced at Zhou Wang, with a faint sneer on his lips.
He had thought Zhou Wang might say something unique; now it seemed he was just picking up on his words...
The rhythm of this bid sale had been invisibly controlled by him, Huo Chengrui, which gave him a subtle pleasure far beyond acquiring a highly cost-effective property.
At this moment, Jiang Yisen returned, and under the inquisitive and expectant gaze of Yang Liping, he didn’t play games. After sitting down, he directly said:
"My brother said, for the sake of Officer Xixi’s face, a flat price, 100 million. If you agree, Ms. Yang, he is willing to have another detailed discussion with you. There is still some room for concession, but the premise is that he will send his team to re-evaluate the value of the property... My brother only trusts his own judgment."
Yang Liping heard this and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Not to mention the initial offer of 100 million was not much different from Huo Chengrui and others’, which indeed did not meet her expectations, and Jiang Minghao still wanted to conduct another assessment, which would prolong the time.
"Please thank little Mr. Jiang for his kindness. I will consider it carefully."
Yang Liping forced a smile to express her gratitude, and taking advantage of the chance to pour water for everyone, she quickly adjusted her emotions. When she sat back down, she seemed to have figured something out, and she glanced around.
"Everyone, since we’ve talked this far, I’ll be open with you too. The lowest price I can accept is about 130 million. At this price, I’m already losing out quite a bit because I won’t take anything from the property. And just the total value of the antiques and artworks in these two properties will not be less than 30 million..."
Yang Liping solemnly said, "I can guarantee that even at the price of 130 million, it’s still absolutely a worthwhile investment for you."
Anyone could hear the sincerity in Yang Liping’s tone, and for a moment, no one spoke. The investors present all knew this was the final bidding stage, and everyone became more cautious.
After a while, it was Mr. Chen, whom Yang Liping had invited, who first began to speak with a smile:
"The price of 130 million is a bit high, Ms. Yang. Since we’re being open, I’ll speak frankly too. The final price I can offer is 100 million. Of course, considering our past relationship, I’m willing to add another 5 million... If you agree, Ms. Yang, I will pay 30% upfront and settle the rest within a month."
"My offer is not much different from Mr. Zhao’s; we can discuss it more, but exceeding 110 million will be quite difficult."
Everyone gave their quotes, among which Liao Jianli gave the highest at 115 million, similar to Mr. Zhao’s quote.
"120 million."
At this point, Huo Chengrui suddenly spoke, attracting Yang Liping’s attention.
The groundwork was ample, and naturally, it was now truly time to draw swords.
Meeting everyone’s gaze, Huo Chengrui confidently smiled and said, "Ms. Yang, this is my final offer. It is also based on the strong development capabilities of our Hong Kong Island Real Estate Company, which can significantly increase the investment return rate. That’s why I’m willing to directly mark up 50% on my psychological price of 80 million. You can consider it carefully."
