Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 890 - 889: Mr. Lin’s Unrivaled Wealth

Amidst a round of applause, Lin Fan calmly walked onto the stage.

Internally, however, he was much more excited than he appeared. The Lijiang land had finally been secured, and at that moment, the Inner Vision System had already updated the progress.

"System task: Build the Mortal Headquarters Mansion!

System level: Important.

System progress: 10/100."

The task of building the Mortal Headquarters Mansion had completed its first step!

Lin Fan wasn’t lying to Wei Jiansheng; he truly budgeted 15 billion to acquire this piece of land. For Lin Fan, 15 billion wasn’t much pressure, seeing as he had hundreds of billions in cash sitting in his bank account.

Of course, this money wasn’t spent for nothing. Lin Fan’s aim was to hype this piece of land. A new Earth King worth over tens of billions was sure to attract everyone’s attention. This was precisely Lin Fan’s goal.

In business, what you fear most is being ignored. Countless marketers wrack their brains daily to raise the company and product’s profile. In marketing, you worry about not being high-profile enough, yet marketing is often the hardest part; spending a lot of money doesn’t always yield results.

But Lin Fan was a natural master of publicity. This billion-dollar piece of land brought unprecedented attention to the Mortal Group.

Lin Fan struck while the iron was hot.

"Hello everyone, I’m Lin Fan, chairman of the Mortal Group. Acquiring this land is crucial for us. Taking this opportunity, I’d like to announce a major company decision. We will begin construction of the Mortal Group Headquarters Mansion after the land handover, with an estimated investment of over 20 billion. So, including the land acquisition, our total investment will exceed 30 billion. We will invite the world’s best architectural talents to join in the creation. Therefore, we welcome everyone to contact us and join in building a new landmark for Yun City. Please look forward to it!"

What?

Everyone was shocked.

It turned out the Mortal Group acquired this land to construct a headquarters mansion!

Building a mansion with 30 billion?

There’s only one word to describe it.

Opulent!

So incredibly opulent!

Opulent to the point of making your scalp tingle!

Everyone was about to go crazy. How could the Mortal Group be this lavish? Is this what it means to be rich? It’s utterly inhumane wealth!

Unending applause and cheers!

"Whoa, I’m blown away! Lin Fan, I’m completely convinced! I can’t do this anymore; I, Old Wang, kneel to you!" Wang Hailin, the former richest man in Yun City, was utterly emotional.

He Chao, the president of Zhongtong Express, was stunned: "Lin Fan, this is too powerful. How are we supposed to catch up with you?"

Song Rongmao, the president of the Yun City Chamber of Commerce, was extremely excited: "Mr. Lin, at such a young age, has already reached a peak that’s hard to attain. I seem to see a future business empire that will shock the world!"

While the big shots were kneeling in surrender.

"What?"

Wei Tiansheng, watching in front of the TV, could hardly sit still. Lin Fan planned a 30 billion budget for a mansion?

In this light, it seemed he judged wrongly earlier. He thought Lin Fan had given up on this land long ago. But it wasn’t so, apparently?

Lin Fan then said, "Successfully acquiring the land today, I need to thank a few people. First, the owner of the land, President Li of Xingjian Group. Thank you, President Li, for letting the Mortal Group win the bid. Only then were we able to participate in the auction. This land can be said to be our perfect choice."

Li Jian quickly said, "Mr. Lin, you’re too kind. The Mortal Group’s bid was outstanding. It’s what the Mortal Group deserves. I was just doing my job impartially."

When Lin Fan announced the billion price, Li Jian was almost ecstatic.

Lin Fan is really something!

A billion, all that shiny silver, will soon belong to the Li Family!

Moreover, Lin Fan successfully acquired the land, which also means he’s definitely offended the Jiangnan Wei Family. The Wei Family lost such face; can they ever let Lin Fan go?

Two birds with one stone, perfect!

Lin Fan smiled slightly and continued, "Secondly, I must thank my assistant, Miss Wei Yue’er, today. She represented the company in the auction, undoubtedly under a lot of pressure, but she performed excellently. I’m very satisfied."

Lin Fan looked at Wei Yue’er, his eyes full of affirmation and appreciation.

Wei Yue’er’s face turned red instantly, a bit shy.

Her emotions were quite complex at this moment. Facing pressure from her brother Wei Tiansheng, she ultimately stood by her principles, siding with Mortal and fulfilling the mission Lin Fan gave her.

Her brother is surely going to be angry with her. She has no idea how to face her brother now!

"Next, I’d also like to thank our competitor in recent days, the Jiangnan Wei Family!" Lin Fan said. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

What?

Lin Fan still wants to thank his opponent?

Everyone pricked up their ears to listen.

Wei Tiansheng’s face darkened: "Lin Fan is playing too many games, thanking our Wei Family? Stop pretending to be a holy samaritan!"

Lin Fan laughed: "Just now, Mr. Wei proudly came over and told me that the Mortal Group bought the land for a billion and took a huge loss. He thought I had long given up and deliberately drove up the price to trap their Wei Family. That’s why he said so. Actually, I was determined to get this land and originally budgeted 15 billion. So, I have to thank the Wei Family for giving up, which saved me 5 billion. I secured the land with just a billion."

Laughter erupted.

So, Lin Fan’s gratitude to the Wei Family was a taunt. The Wei Family has really made fools of themselves!

At the same time, everyone was once again awed by the wealth of the Mortal Group. Lin Fan actually prepared 15 billion for the land. That’s incredibly powerful, so awesome!

Wei Jiansheng’s expression changed from white to red, then red to blue, a truly colorful display.

Lin Fan’s words just now weren’t much harmful, but the insult was too great. It made him feel utterly humiliated on the spot.

"Lin Fan, I, the Wei Family, will never live under the same sky with you!" Wei Jiansheng roared in his heart.

He regretted it so much. If he had known Lin Fan hadn’t given up, he should have continued bidding earlier to make Lin Fan spend more. But they judged wrong, inadvertently helping Lin Fan save money, essentially aiding him.

The loss was on them!

"The lavishness of Mortal is truly admirable. This time, we indeed underestimated Mr. Lin. However, I want Mr. Lin to know that the Wei Family isn’t without the ability to play along. We just didn’t plan to invest such a big budget because there’s no need. After all, the Jiangnan Wei Family already has a landmark headquarters mansion in Hang City, known to all! As for Mr. Lin’s claim to build the future landmark of Yun City, whether it will succeed is still uncertain. Who can say for sure what the future holds? I wish Mr. Lin good luck!"

Wei Jiansheng stood up, chuckling, then turned around and left in a huff.

"Thanks for Mr. Wei’s blessings. Then let’s wait and see. When the mansion is completed, I’ll invite Mr. Wei to the ribbon-cutting. Mr. Wei, do remember to come." Lin Fan grinned.

Wei Jiansheng, in fury, stumbled as he walked, nearly losing his balance.

Similarly furious was Wei Tiansheng in front of the TV.

"Lin Fan is too much, publicly humiliating my Wei Family. I want Lin Fan torn to pieces!" Wei Tiansheng roared in anger.

No wonder he was upset; the clash with the Mortal Group ended in another defeat for the Wei Family, such a disgraceful defeat!

Because of his misjudgment, the Wei Family ended up aiding their rival. This left Wei Tiansheng feeling as nauseous as if he had swallowed a fly.

However, Wei Tiansheng didn’t yet know that their troubles were only just beginning...
