Inheritance of Two Trillion-Chapter 2305 - 1749: This Isn’t Screwing Them Over

Chapter 2305: Chapter 1749: This Isn’t Screwing Them Over

When the final result was presented, the venue erupted, and everyone witnessed the birth of a "Land King." How could they not be excited? It was unclear who started it, but a thunderous applause filled the room as everyone congratulated Jia Chengshan and his team.

Bai Xiaosheng also smiled and clapped his hands.

After all, he had also played a part in the emergence of this new "Land King."

In contrast to the burst of enthusiasm from the crowd, Jia Chengshan and his team had slightly forced smiles and mixed feelings. However, under the gaze of all the enthusiastic onlookers, they could only put on a brave front so as not to lose face.

As the host announced the end of the auction, journalists swarmed forward, eager to interview Jia Chengshan’s team first. Other participants also wanted to talk to them, making the scene lively as Jia Chengshan and his group found themselves in the spotlight.

In comparison, Bai Xiaosheng and his group received some attention, but to a much lesser extent.

Bai Xiaosheng, along with Dong Tianxiu, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying, quietly left the venue amid the commotion.

Once they left the land auction hall and were on their way back in their car, Dong Tianxiu couldn’t help but express her astonishment.

"What we did really made Jia Chengshan’s team suffer a heavy loss, having to invest so much extra money. Listening to it, I feel bad for them," Dong Tianxiu couldn’t help saying to Bai Xiaosheng. "Isn’t what we did a bit too much?"

Before Bai Xiaosheng could respond, Lin Weiwei sneered from the side, "Who told them to follow? If they hadn’t, that high-premium land would have ended up in our hands!"

Dong Tianxiu thought for a moment, clicked her tongue, and mumbled, "Well, it’s better that it ended up with them!"

"But does this mean that we have now made enemies with them?" Dong Tianxiu couldn’t help but glance at Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, wondering if they agreed with her assessment.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying remained silent and looked toward Bai Xiaosheng.

At that moment, Bai Xiaosheng came out of his deep thought, smiled at the three of them watching him, and said, "Are you thinking that I was deliberately causing trouble during the land auction?"

The three of them were noncommittal, though their eyes all implied a hint of "yes."

"How could you see me like this?" Bai Xiaosheng sighed.

Lin Weiwei quickly smiled, intending to ease the situation, when she heard Bai Xiaosheng mutter, "Hmm... there’s indeed a bit of that intention."

Lin Weiwei was immediately stunned, not knowing how to respond.

Dong Tianxiu and Lei Ying were also momentarily speechless.

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, "That Jia Chengshan and his group clearly wanted to cooperate with us, but they insisted on making it seem like we were begging them. Naturally, I wouldn’t stand for it! I needed to knock down their arrogance and confidence, to make them suffer a hidden loss! Also, tying up their liquid funds prevents them from causing us trouble elsewhere."

The way Jia Chengshan’s team followed up on Tengyun, Beifeng, and Haoyu was really annoying.

"Besides that, you only saw that they invested so much more money and felt they lost. But! The birth of a new ’Land King’ and the advertising value generated by its influence and attention are astonishing. If you think in terms of advertising, is it really a loss?" Bai Xiaosheng smiled. "Whether it’s a loss or not depends on how you look at it, how you calculate it."

What Bai Xiaosheng said made some sense.

Lin Weiwei and the others nodded in succession.

In any case, Bai Xiaosheng’s move was truly shrewd and ruthless. It remained to be seen whether Jia Chengshan could stomach it.

Bai Xiaosheng leaned back, his gaze distant, murmuring, "Now, we’ll see how Mr. Lu Yun’s side reacts. Tianxiu, I’ll trouble you to spread the word that we’re leaving the day after tomorrow. No need to do it deliberately, just ensure we handle our hotel check-out in advance."

Upon hearing this, Dong Tianxiu nodded her head and agreed.

A faint smile appeared on Bai Xiaosheng’s face. To be honest, he was interested in collaborating with the Jia Group, Wanhu Group, Ziyu Group, and a few other families and enterprises. After all, the more powerful allies joined, the faster and earlier his Global Business Alliance plan could be realized.

However, he didn’t need unruly allies, at least not ones who didn’t hold Bai Xiaosheng in reverence.

Within a day or two, Jia Chengshan and his team might undergo a "transformation."

He hoped it would be the change Bai Xiaosheng anticipated.

A new "Land King" had emerged in Huajing. That very day, the news was pushed by major media outlets, making headlines online and attracting widespread attention and heated discussion from all sectors.

At this moment, somewhere, Lu Yun was browsing through this news, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"It’s been a while," he thought, "and Bai Xiaosheng has grown to the point where he can toy with people like Jia Chengshan. Truly impressive for the younger generation!"

A trace of reminiscence appeared on Lu Yun’s face as he recalled the young man he had met years ago.

He had once believed that within ten years, this young man would soar to great heights and transform into a dragon.

Time proved he wasn’t wrong, yet also not entirely right, as Bai Xiaosheng grew much faster than expected.

Even Lu Yun couldn’t help but feel a tinge of admiration for such rapid advancement.

After his reflection, Lu Yun pressed his hand on the desk before him, stood up, and with a smile, muttered to himself, "Now it’s my turn to make a move. After all, this was Bai Xiaosheng’s request and arrangement!"

Meanwhile, Dong Tianlu and Wang Xuantian’s reactions were similar to Lu Yun’s.

On Jia Chengshan’s side, two hours after the auction ended, they finally managed to "break out" and took a car to "escape" the media siege and return to their place of residence.

Inside Jia Chengshan’s stretch Lincoln, the seven bigwigs were silent, with not a hint of joy, and a rather tense atmosphere.

After all, they had spent an exorbitantly high premium just to gain the attention they received.

Frankly speaking, no one wanted that.

Finally, Lu Tiandao broke the silence, speaking gravely to Jia Chengshan, "That Bai Xiaosheng was indeed bold enough to compete with us until the end. If we had placed one less bid, it would have been them taking that high-priced land!"

Zhang Qinglin said gloomily, "But in the end, it was us who took that land!"

Lu Tiandao frowned and looked at Jia Chengshan, "With so much at stake, can we finally have a proper discussion with Bai Xiaosheng? I believe he was genuinely intent on acquiring that land back then."

Jia Chengshan nodded, asserting confidently, "With this leverage, I’m sure we can achieve our wishes and secure a satisfactory cooperation from Bai Xiaosheng."

Then, looking encouragingly at everyone, he reinforced, "Rest assured, we’ll certainly succeed!"

The group returned a forced smile.

At this point, there was nothing left but to support Jia Chengshan.

Jia Chengshan’s gaze was distant and eager, silently repeating to himself, "This time, we’ll definitely succeed!"
