John gritted his teeth. In order to cooperate with Chen Xijiu, he had no choice but to bleed heavily. As soon as someone started to estimate the price, he immediately offered a high price.
"3,000 million!"
John was surprised to find someone offering such a high price. Just then, he turned around and saw a young man. He recognized him as a member of the Yang family, one of the four great families.
I never imagined I would have to establish myself on Hong Kong Island.
John couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.
So he immediately offered a higher price, determined to acquire the land.
"5002030 million!"
After John finished speaking, everyone immediately looked over. John's move this time was indeed very extravagant. Even Chen Xijiu couldn't help but be surprised at how attractive this land was to him.
Yang Ming never expected that someone would dare to compete with him for this piece of land at the auction.
The Yang family had long been the most powerful of the four major families.
They finally wanted to enter the real estate market, but someone actually tried to stop them.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was British, Yang Ming would absolutely never have handed over this piece of land to them, and he was also doing Chen Xijiu a favor.

John eventually won the auction for 5,500 million. Ah Kun, standing next to Chen Xi Jiu, watched the farce unfold and couldn't help but laugh.
“John has really met his match this time. Yang Ming’s influence in his family is extremely strong. The Yang family is indeed stronger than other families in Kowloon Walled City.”
"The real estate business is now highly sought after, and the Yang family also wants to get involved. They can come in."
Chen Xijiu didn't know much about the four major families, but he understood that the feud between the Yang and Li families would never end easily.
John now wants to have a foothold in the real estate business, so he needs to partner with himself.
Chen Xijiu wanted to use this method to reveal John's trump cards one by one, and he absolutely could not let the other party succeed.
Chen Xijiu smiled faintly, a hint of amusement on his face.
"Let them fight among themselves. Using just a few plots of land to incite infighting among the four major families is a good business."
The four major families—the Jin family, the Li family, the Cao family, and the Yang family—now all have their own internal businesses.
Among them, the Yang family, led by Yang Yunfeng, now holds a dominant position.
The other families all have to defer to the Yang family.
This auction will also allow Chen Xijiu to understand John's attitude.
“Ninth Brother, we have now found out that John seems to be trying to win the land at this auction and then develop it, trying to steal our business.”
They don't care at all. It's a good thing to develop land on Hong Kong Island if they want to, especially since commercial buildings are a successful example.
Many potential partners wanted to enter the market, but once they did, they would have to be subservient to him, which Chen Xijiu didn't care about at all.
"Since they have this idea, let them go ahead and do it. I also want to see just how much strength they have to contend with us."
Hearing Chen Xijiu's words, Ah Kun's psychological burden was finally relieved a little, and at this time the auction was in progress.
The struggle between John and Yang Ming has now begun.
Yang Ming never expected that the land he had his eye on would be auctioned off, and that he and John would start driving up the price.
This completely thwarted Yang Ming's plans.
He failed to acquire a single one of the three plots of land, which fueled Yang Ming's resentment.
"What exactly do you mean? Now you're joining us in driving up prices, trying to prevent us from winning the land auction. John, don't think that just because you're British you can do whatever you want."
Yang Ming could no longer bear it. He took a few steps forward and stood in front of John, looking down at the man before him.
John wasn't afraid.
What he feared most in Hong Kong was Chen Xijiu's strength. He never took anyone else seriously, but now he was facing this young upstart.
He didn't care at all.
"It's simply a pipe dream for the Yang family to try to get into the real estate business now. As long as I'm here, you can't get your hands on the good land. The opportunity to cooperate with Chen Xijiu will ultimately be in my hands."
The two were on the verge of exchanging blows, a scene captured by the media.
Now that the auction has progressed to this point, Chen Xijiu has achieved his goal.
The auction of the three plots of land made Chen Xijiu a lot of money.
Ah Kun had made thorough preparations, and Chen Xi Jiu had already left with Ah Kun while the operation was underway, completely ignoring what was happening in the venue.

The Yang family was already incredibly powerful, and now, after hearing John's words, Yang Ming decided to remember this grudge.
When Chen Xijiu returned to the company, Ah Kun had already told him everything that had happened at the auction.
As they wanted, John is now completely unable to continue interfering in this matter.
Because of what happened at the auction, John already harbored resentment. After the media exposed his crimes, many Hong Kong residents are now aware of them.
"Hui and Wei did a very good job this time. They had made thorough preparations beforehand, and they were able to withstand the criticism from others."
"Looking back now, these people only had a short timeframe to punish John."
The whole of Hong Kong Island is in an uproar because of this.
The death of an ordinary Hong Kong resident must be a great source of anxiety for the residents of Hong Kong Island.
They certainly couldn't ignore this situation.
Chen Xijiu was very satisfied with the result. He looked up at Akun in front of him and was impressed.
The documents in hand show that in the past few months, Ah Kun has transferred several times more than the 4000 million he gave him.
"You are truly a genius in the real estate business. Without you, I certainly wouldn't have made so much money."
Hearing Chen Xijiu's words, Ah Kun felt a little embarrassed.
However, he quickly calmed down, and this was certainly a new test for him.
Since Chen Xijiu entrusted the real estate business to him, Ah Kun would not let Chen Xijiu suffer any losses.
"I've heard that quite a few people are now eyeing land transactions in the real estate business, and our partners this time haven't been able to auction off suitable land."
“The shops in our commercial building are just the right space to cooperate with them, which can indeed solve our immediate problem.”
Chen Xijiu didn't want to do this kind of cooperation. His superiors were very familiar with their cooperation in the real estate business.
What Chen Xijiu cares about most is that his partners can show the best sincerity when cooperating with him.
Upon hearing Ah Kun's words, Chen Xijiu agreed without hesitation. His own business in real estate, particularly the layout of commercial buildings, was already quite clear.
He knows all of these things very well.
"Once you've got all the cooperation sorted out, you'll naturally be able to make some plans. Right now, quite a few people are eyeing this lucrative opportunity."
"Also, send someone to keep a close eye on John's actions and protect Hui and Wei; they'll be useful."
Upon hearing Chen Xijiu's words, Ah Kun immediately began making plans.
At this moment, Hui-zai and A-wei were sitting in the conference room.
Given the current situation, the two were already filled with worry, fearing that they might implicate Chen Xijiu. John's appearance clearly indicated that he would seek help from them.
This opportunity is now of utmost urgency; they cannot afford to implicate Chen Xijiu.
“Otherwise, we could just leave Hong Kong Island now and prevent John from finding us. Wouldn’t that allow us to extricate ourselves from this matter? However, we wouldn’t be able to avenge our brother. But we absolutely cannot let Ninth Brother be in a difficult position.”
Hui and Ah Wei still decided to assassinate him; John and his men simply couldn't swallow their anger.
Ah Wei immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing Hui Zai's words.
The two hit it off immediately.
Just then, Chen Xijiu walked in.

"Now you two don't need to worry. John's affairs have been exposed quite a bit by the media, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has already taken notice of him."
"He's currently overwhelmed with his own problems and simply can't spare the time to target you right now."
Hui-zai and Ah-wei exchanged glances at Chen Xi-jiu's words. They didn't really know much about what was happening in the media, but what Chen Xi-jiu said made them make up their minds immediately.
If these issues can be resolved completely, it would be a great opportunity for our previous plans.
“If John’s matter isn’t handled properly, he could become a hidden danger for Jiu Ge. No matter what, we can’t let Jiu Ge be in danger like this.”
“We were saved by Ninth Brother, and our lives belong to Ninth Brother.”
Chen Xijiu burst into laughter.
What he cares about most is that his subordinates are so harmonious.
Hui-zai and Ah-wei are both loyal and righteous, and Chan Sai-gau values them highly. Upon hearing their words, Chan Sai-gau stepped forward.
Looking at the two of them, he took out a piece of evidence that he had prepared beforehand.
John, along with Fung and Daniel, embezzled a considerable amount of money in Hong Kong Island when they worked together, and handed it over to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) will naturally take strong action; this is exactly the result he wants.
