Inheritance of Two Trillion-Chapter 2306 - 1750: Rolling Thunder

Having obtained the plot of land that Bai Xiaosheng had been bidding for repeatedly, Jia Chengshan felt a great surge of confidence, believing that with this bargaining chip in hand, he could reopen negotiations with Bai Xiaosheng regarding their cooperation.

Additionally, regarding whether Bai Xiaosheng had deliberately raised the price in that land auction to increase their acquisition costs, Jia Chengshan was unwilling to admit it, but in his heart, he indeed had such suspicions.

If Bai Xiaosheng really did raise the price deliberately, it posed a significant risk—if the price went too high and Jia Chengshan’s side didn’t follow through, Bai Xiaosheng would have to bear the consequences himself, acquiring the land at an excessively high price.

If he indeed meant harm in such a matter, Bai Xiaosheng himself would be the one closest to danger.

Would he do it?

"Is he naturally inclined to take risks and harm others, or does he truly want that land badly enough to pay any price...?" Jia Chengshan couldn’t help but keep thinking about this matter.

But, he wasn’t a worm in Bai Xiaosheng’s stomach, so he couldn’t ascertain Bai Xiaosheng’s thoughts.

After the land auction ended, they were surrounded by reporters. When Bai Xiaosheng was leaving, Jia Chengshan caught a glimpse of the expression on Bai Xiaosheng’s face at that moment.

Neither happy nor sad.

There was no smugness from having succeeded in a cunning plan, nor was there any disappointment from failing to get the land, displaying a calmness not typical for a young man.

Even now, when Jia Chengshan recalls that expression on Bai Xiaosheng’s face, there’s still a kind of... awe.

It’s truly incredible that at his age, he would feel such intense apprehension toward someone as young as his own son.

In that stretch Lincoln, not only Jia Chengshan, but everyone was silent, each with their own thoughts.

Finally, it was Lu Tiandao who spoke up, breaking the silence.

"Gentlemen." Lu Tiandao suddenly spoke, drawing everyone’s attention.

"Don’t laugh at me, but after this land auction, I suddenly have a sort of..." Lu Tiandao suddenly paused, unable to find the right words, or perhaps finding the words he initially thought of unsuitable to say.

"A sense of apprehension!" Zhang Qinglin, standing by, continued the sentence with a serious gaze.

Lu Tiandao looked surprised at this Zhang boss, who voiced what he himself was too embarrassed to say.

People of their status being driven to apprehension by a young man was not something to be candid about.

The others glanced at the two, their gazes flickering.

Their thoughts were unknown, but no one made fun of it.

Lu Tiandao continued, "This Bai Xiaosheng daring to engage us in a price war, doesn’t it seem like a frightening matter to you? We could stop bidding at any time, and that highly overpriced land would become his hot potato. Does he not fear this? Can he easily mobilize that much capital, and purchase land at such a high premium without constraints? Just how deep are his background and strength... this really shifts my understanding. Bai Xiaosheng only handed that nearly exploding package to us at the last moment; his judgment, decision-making, and composure make me feel quite uneasy..."

Lu Tiandao’s voice was a bit hoarse, "I don’t know if any of you noticed his expression, but I kept my eyes on him the whole time. He remained calm from start to finish, with no confusion, conversing as if he had everything under control. This young man’s psychological quality is terrifying! And this quality is essential for anyone aiming to climb high! I imagine no one would disagree with that, right?"

Everyone remained silent, but there was no dissent in their eyes.

Jia Chengshan said nothing, as he somewhat agreed as well.

Beside him, Zhang Qinglin sighed, "Regardless of whether he’s fearless or just audaciously threw the dice with us, he has managed to lock up our available liquidity. Adding to our past investments, I’m left with not much liquidity to spare."

Zhang Qinglin had no plans to continue increasing his investment.

"Same here." Lu Tiandao said calmly.

Seeing this, others also began to speak up.

"Yes, funds are tight on my side too, several companies are pressing for money, and reports are chasing us. If my funding chain breaks, it’ll be disastrous."

"I’m in the same boat, actually considering asking you all for some bridge funds."

"Isn’t everyone? We’ve stockpiled so many resources, but if they don’t liquidize, they’re just a heavy weight on our heads."

Each of the business magnates present began to vent their grievances.

Whether true or not, they did not intend to continue playing with real money.

This is how alliances in the business world are; everyone has their own considerations, things go well with the wind, but when things are tough, they consider their own interests first.

Jia Chengshan also felt troubled.

Today’s land auction was overdone, following bids as if money were no object.

It’s impossible for everyone present to not have opinions.

"I think perhaps from the beginning, we got our approach to cooperating with Bai Xiaosheng all wrong." Lu Tiandao said to Jia Chengshan.

Finally, the topic Jia Chengshan feared was brought up.

It was a very awkward issue.

After all, it was Jia Chengshan who had initially proposed using this method to establish cooperation.

No one commented, but they all stole glances at Jia Chengshan.

Jia Chengshan’s eyelids twitched slightly, then he smiled, "Leave this matter to me, I’ll ensure a satisfactory outcome for you all. Don’t worry, once I go back, I’ll seek out Bai Xiaosheng."
