The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

"23 million!"

Zou Chengfeng's face turned ugly. He never expected that this stranger would show him no respect whatsoever and disregard his Zou family's status.

He gritted his teeth and made another offer, a hint of anger in his voice: "24 billion!"

"Sir, this piece of land is worth at most 2 billion. I'm adding another 100 million to your offer. I hope you can give the Zou family some face and not raise the price any further!"

He turned to look at Qin Mao, his tone carrying a faint threat.

"Give the Zou family face? You're not worthy." Qin Mao heard the implication in Zou Chengfeng's words and snorted coldly.

His father, Qin Zheng, didn't even give face to the vice governor on the stage. Qin Zihao even told him that last night, the provincial party secretary and the governor spoke to his father very politely.

In Jiangnan Province, there are very few people who can command respect from the Qin family.

Not to mention that in his eyes the other party was still a greenhorn who would resort to threats instead of throwing money at the auction, playing the gangster game?

Qin Mao completely ignored the other party's threat and followed up with another bid, "24 billion."

The following text describes the curiosity and speculation of several wealthy individuals, including Xiang Mingyuan, regarding Qin Mao's identity.

As soon as the words were spoken, Xiao Mingyuan, Zhao Hongbin and others in the first row could no longer sit still. They all turned their heads to look at each other, their eyes full of curiosity and speculation.

Who exactly is this unfamiliar man? Anyone from this province would definitely give Zou Chengfeng face if they didn't offer a price.

It seems they're from out of town.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger; looks like this is going to be interesting.

Upon hearing Qin Mao's offer and the words "You're not worthy," Zou Chengfeng could no longer suppress his anger, which instantly flared up, causing his entire body to tremble slightly.

He is the eldest son of the Zou family and the next head of the family. The Zou family ranks sixth in Jiangnan Province with a net worth of 180 billion yuan, making them a prominent family in the province.

Moreover, his younger sister, Zou Jinglan, is about to marry into the Song family of Donghai, and she is marrying Song Jin, the eldest son of the Song family with a net worth of 600 billion. The Song family is the second richest family in Donghai City. Even top tycoons in Jiangnan Province like Xiao Mingyuan have to be quite polite to him and dare not offend him easily.

But this stranger not only ignored his threats, but also publicly humiliated him, saying that he was not worthy of the Qin family's respect.

All eyes in the lecture hall were on him, some curious, some watching the spectacle, and some even gloating.

Zou Chengfeng knew that everyone was watching him at that moment.

Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Zou Chengfeng solemnly announced a price.

"27 million!"

This price has far exceeded the estimated price, which also means that even if we acquire this land, we can expect to make almost no profit within three to five years.

However, this land is of great importance to the Zou family, and in the long run, the price is still within an acceptable range.

After quoting the price, Zou Chengfeng looked at Qin Mao again, his tone carrying a clear warning, and said, word by word, "Sir, I'm giving you this last piece of advice. My sister, Zou Jinglan, is about to marry into the Song family of Donghai. The Song family is the second most powerful family in Donghai City. A wise person knows when to yield. I hope you know what to do."

He didn't want Qin Mo to follow him anymore.

"The Song family of Donghai?" Qin Mao looked at Shen Jianting beside him and asked in a low voice, "What level of wealthy family is the Song family of Donghai? Is it worth hundreds of billions?"

Shen Jianting nodded, "The Song family of Donghai ranks second in Donghai Province. The estimated market value of their family business is around 100 billion, and Song Jin, who married into the Zou family, is worth as much as 60 billion."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Qin Mao curiously.

What kind of powerful family is the Qin family? Will they give way to the Song family of Donghai?

Qin Mao nodded, understanding dawning on his mind.

All of the Song family's businesses in Donghai combined are exactly the same as the 100 billion yuan dowry his father prepared for his future wife, so there's no need to give him face.

When everyone saw Qin Mao turn to ask Shen Jiancai a question, and there was no response for a long time, they assumed that Qin Mao was afraid because he had heard of the Song family's name.

Zou Chengfeng also breathed a sigh of relief, a smug smile curling at the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of mockery, as if victory was already in his grasp.

Seeing this, Ma Hongming on stage also picked up the microphone, ready to finalize the deal: "27 billion for the first time! 27 billion for the second time..."

Just as Ma Hongming was about to shout "the third time"...

Qin Mao spoke again.

"30 million!"

Zou Chengfeng's smugness froze instantly, his smile solidified, and his eyes were filled with disbelief, as if he had been slapped hard across the face.

As the new head of the Zou family, if he were to be outdone by a mere youth today, how would he ever face anyone in the industry again? What would Xiao Mingyuan and the others think of him?

Since Qin Mao won't give him face, he'll earn it himself!

Bearing the responsibility of being the head of the Zou family, he cannot afford to lose!

"35 million!"

Everyone was in an uproar.

Xiao Mingyuan and the others became even more curious about Qin Mao's identity.

"40 billion!" Qin Mao replied instantly, giving everyone no time to react.

40 billion? Zou Chengfeng regained his senses, and his impulsive impulse was suppressed.

Is it worth buying a plot of land with a mediocre location that would normally cost a staggering 20 billion yuan, for twice the price?

40 billion is a huge sum of money for the Zou family. If the bid is successful, other businesses of the Zou family will have to slow down or stop production.

Moreover, that slight advantage in water transport is not worth the 40 billion.

Since he likes to raise prices, then let him have it. Let him know what it feels like to lose 20 billion!

Zou Chengfeng stopped bidding, a cold sneer on his face. He raised his voice to Qin Mao, "Fine! 40 billion, I'll give it to you. But I want to see how you'll end up after spending 40 billion on a piece of land that's losing money! No matter what you do, it's a losing proposition, pure money throwing away!"

Qin Mao looked indifferent. "My family has a hundred million yuan. My dad's idea is for me to acquire this land to practice. It doesn't matter how much it costs."

This amount of money is nothing; what matters is his current status as the second son of the Qin family. He cannot be looked down upon under any circumstances.

Qin Zheng had told him many times that when he was out in public, he should stand up straight and not lose face.

Qin Mao kept it firmly in mind. Even if the land was auctioned for 100 billion yuan tonight, he would not hesitate to participate.

The shock on everyone's faces deepened. What an arrogant tone! Whose son from which wealthy family is this?

Zou Chengfeng's smug expression froze. His attempt at sarcasm backfired, and his face turned ashen, as if he had eaten feces.

Ma Hongming also realized what was happening, his face lighting up with a broad smile. He quickly counted down: "40 billion for the first time! 40 billion for the second time! 40 billion for the third time! Thump! Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully bidding on the Beigangkou plot in Nangang District!"

The hammer fell, and the auction officially ended.

Ma Hongming produced the contract and information sheet: "Sir, congratulations! According to the regulations, you need to pay a deposit first, and the remaining balance can be paid in five to ten years. However, you will also need to pay a certain amount of interest."

Qin Mao shook his head slightly, his tone casual: "No need, I'll pay in full."

As he spoke, he took the information form from Ma Hongming, filled it out briefly, and then took out his phone to make a call.

"Please check your account; the money has been transferred."

A staff member standing next to Ma Hongming exclaimed in surprise, "Vice Governor Ma, the Ministry of Finance says they have received a transfer of 40 billion yuan."

Without waiting for Ma Hongming to stop him, Qin Mao left immediately.

The room was left with a group of shocked people, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Why...why didn't he even take the contract with him?"

Zou Chengfeng's sarcastic remarks failed to elicit a response. He stood there, watching Qin Mao's departing figure, his face extremely grim.

Ma Hongming picked up the information sheet and looked at it.

Name: Qin Mao.

ID number: ***

Contact number: 178***

...

Contact Address: Longhu Manor, Jiangbei City, Jiangnan Province

His pupils contracted sharply. It turned out to be Qin Zheng's son. No wonder he looked familiar; he had seen Qin Mao's photo at the meeting yesterday afternoon.

Longhu Manor.

As soon as Qin Mao got home, he knocked on the door of Qin Zheng's master bedroom. After receiving permission, he pushed the door open and went in.

Seeing his father lying in bed scrolling through his phone, Qin Mao spoke up, his tone carrying a hint of boasting: "Dad, I bought that piece of land. It cost 40 billion."

"Hmm," Qin Zheng said without looking up, continuing to read his novel about a rich man.

"But I don't know what to do with that land?"

This is why Qin Mao came to find Qin Zheng. On his way back, he kept thinking that besides having land and money, he was also lacking people.

"Dad, does our family business have any high-level talents? Could we have them help me with the planning?"

Qin Mao remembered that Lu Cheng'an had said that as the boss, he only needed to decide whether a plan was feasible, and everything else would be organized and delivered to him by someone else.

"I'll give you the person tomorrow. You can go to sleep now." Qin Zheng waved his hand, indicating that he understood.

"Alright, Dad, I'm leaving now. You should get some rest." Qin Mao left happily.

Qin Zheng turned over and made a phone call to Lu Cheng'an.

"Help me find headhunters to poach talent, find a group of the most professional and top-notch risk assessment personnel for my second son, as well as senior designers in the real estate industry."

"Regardless of cost, have them book their plane tickets tonight; I need to see them tomorrow morning."

"Also, find the best office building."
