Chapter 15: Yun Zijin's Financial Power is Terrifying

Chapter 15: Yun Zijin’s Terrifying Financial Power

The auctioneer’s voice had barely faded when bids began to ring out one after another from the floor.

Yun Zijin, Lu Yunque, and their group had yet to say a word.

Those bidding early on were essentially cannon fodder; the real competition would only begin once the price reached the expected range.

"Zijin, how much money did you prepare?"

Listening to the rising chorus of bids, Sheng Yang couldn't help but try to talk to Yun Zijin again.

Yun Zijin glanced at Sheng Yang. A brain is a good thing to have, but unfortunately, he didn't have one.

"Ahem! Xiao Yang, by asking that, aren't you just revealing Miss Yun's trump card? Use your head when you speak in the future."

Li Yuecheng gave a light cough, kindly reminding Sheng Yang.

Only then did Sheng Yang remember what he had just asked Yun Zijin, and his face turned bright red.

Yun Zijin waved her hand, not really caring.

Since "Suibianhua" had said so, her spending limit for today was infinite.

If she wanted to, she could buy out the entire auction.

However, Yun Zijin wasn't that greedy; she only participated in bidding when she encountered something she liked.

The price of the land quickly soared to 1 billion. Li Yuecheng, Fu Ze, and Lu Yunque were already rolling up their sleeves, and Yun Zijin also sat up a little straighter.

"2 billion!"

As soon as Li Yuecheng spoke, he added 1 billion, weeding out quite a few more people.

"2.5 billion."

Fu Ze was not to be outdone, adding another 500 million.

Yun Zijin looked at Lu Yunque; he hadn't spoken yet.

"3 billion."

As soon as Lu Yunque spoke, he added another 500 million.

"3.5 billion."

Yun Zijin was the only woman left among all the remaining bidders.

"Zijin, do you still have money? You already spent 3.8 billion on that pink diamond just now!"

Hearing Yun Zijin bid 3.5 billion again, Sheng Yang felt incredibly anxious.

If you won an item at an auction hosted by the Lu family and couldn't pay, it wouldn't be easy to get away with it.

Moreover, in Sheng Yang's understanding, the wealthiest people in the Imperial Capital were none other than the Lu, Li, Fu, and Sheng families.

But the financial power Yun Zijin displayed today was completely on par with the four great families, as if she were a hidden aristocratic family that had appeared out of thin air.

"Of course. I'm not stupid; I wouldn't participate in the bidding if I didn't have the money."

Yun Zijin naturally knew the consequences of not being able to pay. Bidding proved she had the ability to pay.

"4 billion."

Lu Yunque followed closely behind Yun Zijin, raising the price.

"4.1 billion."

Li Yuecheng only tentatively added 100 million this time, but this also indirectly indicated that the price had likely reached his limit.

"4.2 billion."

The bidder was someone from the back, likely thinking that Li Yuecheng was out of money and hoping to pick up a bargain.

"4.5 billion."

Fu Ze didn't give anyone else a chance.

"5 billion."

Yun Zijin added the amount very easily.

Hearing the price Yun Zijin called out, Lu Yunque frowned. This had already exceeded their estimated price.

One had to know that 5 billion was just the cost of the land; the subsequent development would be the major expense.

And Lu Yunque wasn't sure if Yun Zijin had enough financial resources for the follow-up development investment after buying the land.

If she couldn't do it, then buying this land would just be a waste of money.

"Miss Yun, have you considered what project you plan to develop after buying the land? Subsequent development projects are also a significant expense. I hope Miss Yun has thought it through."

Lu Yunque didn't bid again; 5 billion was their final bottom line, and any more wouldn't be worth it.

The land in the western suburbs was finally successfully taken by Yun Zijin for 5 billion.

"Right, what do I need this land for?"

Yun Zijin had been having fun bidding just now and hadn't thought at all about what she would do with it. Now, reminded by Lu Yunque, she suddenly sobered up.

But the auctioneer's hammer had already fallen, and even if Yun Zijin wanted to go back on it, there was no way.

Lu Yunque, who had just walked past Yun Zijin, heard her low mutter and almost lost his footing.

So... they were set up by Sheng Yang, right?

If Sheng Yang hadn't mentioned the western suburb land to Yun Zijin, she probably wouldn't have participated in the auction, and this piece of land wouldn't have been blindly snatched up by a novice like her.

Yun Zijin stopped dwelling on it after a while. When you reach the mountain, there will be a road; she would deal with future matters in the future. The most important thing now was to go pay.

Yun Zijin arrived at the payment area, took out the black gold card given by Suibianhua, and completed the payment smoothly.

[Consumption Task: Host, please complete a consumption of 8,894,000,000.00 at tonight's Lu family charity auction. Completed.] [Task Reward: 3x reward triggered. 26,682,000,000.00 has been deposited into the host's savings card. Suibianhua has specially hired an exclusive bodyguard team for the host (equipped with one Suibianhua-brand 7-seater minivan).]

Hearing today's task reward, Yun Zijin's eyes lit up. It was truly a case of someone bringing a pillow just as she was getting sleepy.

She had just been wondering how to safely bring these things back to Xingyu Huafu.

Now that she had the bodyguards provided by Suibianhua, she felt much more at ease.

But where were the bodyguards provided by the system?

Just as Yun Zijin was about to ask the system, she saw a team of seven people, all with an average height of 1.8 meters, walking toward her.

Without Suibianhua needing to say it, Yun Zijin recognized at a glance that these were the bodyguards specially hired for her.

"Eldest Miss!"

The seven people bowed to Yun Zijin in unison. Their movements were perfectly synchronized, but Yun Zijin only felt like she was dying of embarrassment.

"Hehe... no need for all that formality. These are all things I just bought. You guys just help me move them to the car and escort me home safely."

Upholding the principle that "as long as I'm not embarrassed, others will be," Yun Zijin let the seven bodyguards help her move the items.

She held the land title documents herself, and let them help carry the other things like vases and diamonds.

After Yun Zijin left with the seven bodyguards, Lu Yunque and the others appeared where she had just been standing.

"Old Lu, what do you think?"

Yun Zijin's sudden appearance tonight had caught them all off guard, and the land in the western suburbs had just been snatched away like that.

"I don't think anything. It's her ability to be able to buy the western suburb land. Don't tell me you guys still want to ask her for the land?"

Judging by her performance at the auction tonight, she didn't look like someone who would be short of those 5 billion.

Moreover... those bodyguards made Lu Yunque feel that they weren't just ordinary bodyguards.

"How could that be! I was just thinking, can we find a way to cooperate with her? If she can afford to spend 5 billion on land, she definitely won't be short of investment money."

From the moment Yun Zijin bought the land, Li Yuecheng had been thinking about the feasibility of this.

It must be said that Li Yuecheng's words successfully opened up a new line of thinking for Lu Yunque and the others.

"That's not impossible, but... who among us should go talk to her?"

Li Yuecheng looked at Lu Yunque and the others.
