Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 202 Bundle Sales

As soon as the host said this, the guests below started discussing it again.

Today's auction was unexpectedly chaotic, with one surprising thing after another.

However, compared to the previous two items, the addition of an extra item near the end of the auction is not particularly unusual.

The business owners participating in the auction were more concerned about what the last item was that would make an auction house like Duobaoge give it the green light and send it out as the final item.

The host took the important document from his colleague and announced loudly, "The last item added to today's auction is..."

As the host spoke, a bidding contract appeared on the screen behind him.

"Contract for lakeside commercial land use in the southern district of City B?"

"This is the lakeside plot in the southern district! My God, why would they auction this land here? Are they crazy?"

"Is it really that piece of land? I thought I was seeing things. That piece of land has been the hottest piece of land in the entire B City in recent years. Several major families in the country have been eyeing this land and inquiring about connections everywhere. I never expected... that it would appear here."

The speaker seemed to realize something and subconsciously covered his mouth. The others also reacted and looked around with subtle expressions. No one expected that such a land ownership auction contract would appear at such a private auction.

Not many people from the major families came today. The few remaining heirs were stunned for a moment by this sudden change, but then they were overjoyed at the possibility of getting something for nothing.

After the initial joy, the shrewd individuals began calling home to raise funds, while guests who were on good terms with the other major families also seized the opportunity to spread the word.

However, compared to those who had immediate family members present, those who had just received the news were a step too late and could only try to make up for this gap in another way.

Du Anrao knew nothing about this so-called lakeside area in the southern district. Listening to the discussions, he frowned slightly and instinctively asked the person next to him, "Is this land very sought after?"

"It's highly sought after. The South District is a key tourism and commercial area that City B has been developing for the past decade, and the nearly 100 acres of commercial land along the lake will be a key focus of the planning for the next few years. It's no exaggeration to say that whoever gets this land and develops it will be able to lead their family to achieve a leap in social class."

"That's amazing?!" Du Anrao exclaimed in surprise. "No wonder these people are so excited. Who wouldn't be envious of something that guarantees 100% profit, especially such a large sum of money!"

Jiang Changbin wholeheartedly agreed. He had heard of this land before, but let alone a nobody like him, even someone as prominent as Yu Qingting's family in City B was no match for the competitors for this land.

I never imagined I would be able to witness the final ownership of this land at this auction tonight; it truly feels like witnessing history.

Jiang Changbin completely regarded himself as a bystander who had just been there. Du Anrao, however, did not think so. She pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Xi Jingyue and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Xi, your family has invested in so many industries. Have you ever thought about developing this land?"

Xi Jingyue was stunned for a moment before saying, "If there's an opportunity to make money, who would let it slip by? But..."

"only?"

"But even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. My family's main battlefield isn't in City B. Although we have the idea of ​​developing in City B, our foundation is still shallow. Without other help, it won't be easy to swallow up this land on our own."

After Xi Jingyue finished speaking, he changed the subject: "You like this piece of land?" "Indeed..." Du Anrao was about to shake his head in rebuttal when he heard the host on stage loudly introduce the land value of the lakeside area in the South District, and then suddenly take out another document and continue: "Today's auction of this piece of land in the South District is a bit special, and it needs to be auctioned together with another piece of land."

"Joint bidding? What does 'joint bidding' mean?"

"It's a bundled sale; if you win the bid for this piece of land, you have to win the bid for another piece of land as well."

"Is that even possible? Then the other piece of land is... wasteland in the northern suburbs?!"

The other document the host produced was a land use contract for the wasteland in the northern suburbs.

Upon seeing this document, many customers who were eager to get a share of the land near the lake in the South District suddenly froze, and some large families who were originally full of confidence and couldn't wait to start bidding even backed out in advance.

Du Anrao was full of questions: "What's going on with this wasteland in the northern suburbs? Judging from their reaction, it seems like..." the land is poisonous!
"The wasteland in the northern suburbs refers to a large area of ​​wasteland in the northern suburbs of City B. The terrain there is complex, the environment is desolate, and vegetation is not easy to grow. Moreover, it is said that a long time ago, a large area there was a cemetery, which is very yin and has a heavy yin energy. Not to mention the flow of people, animals are rarely seen on weekdays."

"Yes, yes, I passed by that place once when I went there with Qing Ting on business. It's no exaggeration to say that it's barren for miles around. I've never seen any place in B City as desolate as this in all my life."

It's common knowledge that anything sold in bundles is never a good thing. If the land in the southern district is a coveted prize, then the land in the northern suburbs is a poisoned apple that everyone avoids like the plague.

Before this, the land had been auctioned many times, but each time it failed to sell.

The price of this land has dropped from hundreds of millions to tens of millions, but even so, no one is interested.

I don't know which genius came up with this idea, bundling it with land in the southern district for sale. Isn't this forcing people to buy land and make money while also having to pay out of pocket for this wasteland? It's up to people to decide what to do.

No wonder these people backed out; isn't this blatantly telling everyone that they just want to scam a rich sucker to clean up their mess?

Jiang Changbin and Xi Jingyue: "..." That doesn't seem wrong.

Despite his feelings, Du Anrao didn't think this project worth hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan would have anything to do with him. So he composed himself and prepared to watch the excitement while also hoping that the stone he had just bought would yield some treasure.

Turning his head, he suddenly came face to face with the three members of the Du family, father and sons, not far away. Du Weilu remained composed. No matter how excited he was, he did not show his joy. Only his bright eyes revealed some of the inside story.

His two sons, however, were not as capable as him; they were both beaming with pride, as if they had found a treasure.

Du Anrao's brows furrowed slightly, as if he had suddenly realized something.

Wait a minute, the wasteland in the northern suburbs, the wasteland in the northern suburbs of City B? Oh dear, I knew this place sounded familiar, isn't this... that... that... that...

Jiang Changbin and Xi Jingyue: "???" What is that? Tell me!
