"Listen here, kid, what exactly do you want to do? What are you waiting for?" Li Guocao sneered. "From what you're saying, it sounds like you want to outbid me for the land in the West District, right? Hmph, do you even have that kind of capability?"
Mo Ming ignored his words, raised his hand, and calmly said, "For the land in the West District, I offer one trillion five hundred billion. If anyone else wants to compete with me, feel free to raise the price; I'm in it for the long haul."
Wow!
His casually spoken words left a group of super-rich individuals stunned, their hearts racing with shock. The land, which had already seen an irrational bid of one hundred thirty billion from Li Guocao, was now being pushed up by another two hundred billion by Mo Ming.
All the super-rich were astonished. Some suspected that this young man was just messing around, while others thought he might have an impressive background and truly had the qualifications to be so arrogant...
Murong Wei knew that one hundred fifty billion wasn't a huge amount; even for him, it would be difficult to mobilize that much capital in a short time. Yet Mo Ming spoke so nonchalantly as if it were no big deal. He was worried, but Mo Ming remained calm.
"Having spent some time with Mo Ming, I know he doesn't seem like someone who can be easily provoked. Since he dares to make this bid, he must have a plan. After all, Feng Lai Hotel belongs to him..." Murong Wei thought to himself.
Li Guocao felt both happy and troubled. He was glad that finally there was a fool who made a higher bid, allowing him not to spend so much money on the land. However, if Mo Ming truly had the funds to buy it, then everything that just happened... he would be shooting himself in the foot.
Nevertheless, Li Guocao would rather suffer some embarrassment than risk going bankrupt.
"Haha, kid, you better think this through. One hundred fifty billion is not a small sum. Even if you buy that land, who knows if you'll be able to recoup your investment!" Li Guocao laughed.
"My mind is much clearer than yours; there's no need for Chairman Li to worry. I bet you're quite pleased right now since you'd rather take a slap to the face than risk becoming a beggar," Mo Ming retorted with a smirk.
The wealthy individuals who had previously looked down on Mo Ming now turned their gazes toward Li Guocao. A prominent chairman was being belittled by a young man; Li Guocao's embarrassment was palpable.
"You..." Li Guocao's face turned red with anger but he couldn't find any words to refute him and chose to remain silent. The more he argued, the more embarrassed he would be; Li Guocao certainly didn't want to lose face again.
A person who knew Feng Tianshu beside him asked, "President Feng, weren't you here for this piece of land? Why aren't you bidding?"
"Hehe, I did come for this land, but compared to the land, I would prefer to make a good friend out of Mr. Mo. As for the land, I won't be placing a bid," Feng Tianshu said politely while looking at Mo Ming. "Mr. Mo, this land belongs to you now."
Feng Tianshu's words dropped like a bombshell, leaving the super-rich even more shocked. Their gazes toward Mo Ming were filled with curiosity and respect. They were eager to know what kind of ability Mo Ming had that even a prominent business genius like Feng Tianshu would give him face.
"What... what is this kid's background? How could someone like Feng Tianshu give him face? Am I really blind and have offended a big shot?" Li Guocao thought anxiously.
"Then I truly thank President Feng," Mo Ming said with a slight smile, nodding at Feng Tianshu. He then turned to the stunned host and said, "Miss, you can stop being dazed now. I think this price is the highest; no one will bid higher."
The host snapped back to reality, smiled awkwardly, and quickly announced, "Mr. Mo, the major shareholder of Phoenix Grand Hotel, is willing to purchase the land in West District for 150 billion. I'll count to three; if no one bids higher, then the land will belong to Mr. Mo!"
"One."
No one raised their bid.
"Two."
"Three."
No one else bid because 150 billion was already considered a limit for the land. Moreover, no one wanted to offend someone whom even Feng Tianshu respected.
"Alright, since no one has raised their bid, the land in West District now belongs to Mr. Mo. Please come with me to the backstage to complete the formalities," the host said with a bright smile, likely expecting a substantial reward.
"Okay," Mo Ming replied and walked slowly in front of Li Guocao with a mischievous smile on his face. He said, "Chairman Li, I have something to tell you: from now on, all your collaborations with Dragon City in the Sky Group are off. Chairman Li Guocao, you'd better take care of yourself."
"You... you are the son of the chairman of Dragon City in the Sky Group!?" Li Guocao trembled, feeling quite angry. He knew that many of his businesses were in collaboration with Dragon City in the Sky, and if that partnership were to end, his company would suffer significant losses.
Mo Ming's smile grew wider as he said, "I believe I mentioned that my family's fortune is only a few million..."
After saying that, Mo Ming ignored Li Guocao's increasingly dramatic expression and turned to chat with Feng Tianshu and Murong Wei for a moment before taking Murong Lian to the backstage to handle the necessary procedures.
The documents prepared by the government were thorough, and soon, Mo Ming successfully became the owner of the land in West District. With the land deed in hand, Mo Ming and Murong Lian exited from the backstage.
"Mo Ming, how many secrets do you still have that you haven't told me!?" Murong Lian complained. She thought she knew Mo Ming well enough, but after today's events, she felt she didn't understand him at all.
Mo Ming smiled elegantly and said, "Your husband has many secrets. If you want to fully understand me, you'll have to explore slowly on your own; it will be much more interesting that way."
"Hmph, I won't explore!" Murong Lian huffed.
Mo Ming shrugged and replied, "Well, if you don't explore, then you won't know how many concubines I have. Lian Lian, I can tell you that I've been around various cities in the world, and I have quite a few lovers."
"You dare to have other lovers!" Murong Lian gritted her teeth and pinched Mo Ming's arm, threateningly asking, "Besides me, Yuan'er, and Qianqian, how many other lovers do you have!?"
Mo Ming pretended to count on his fingers seriously and chuckled, "Oh, that's too many—there are some in Indonesia, North America, Russia, and even Korea..."
"Ah, Mo Ming, are you trying to get yourself killed? How could you keep concubines all over the world!" Murong Lian was furious, glaring at Mo Ming.
Seeing Murong Lian's aggrieved expression, Mo Ming couldn't help but chuckle lightly and said, "I was just teasing you. Why take it so seriously? Actually, besides the three of you, I really don't have any other lovers."
"I don't believe it!" Murong Lian bit her lip and turned her head away.
Mo Ming held Murong Lian tightly and said, "Really, Lian Lian, I only have the three of you. Alright, stop messing around. Your father is smiling meaningfully over there..."
"Okay, I'll trust you for now!" Murong Lian looked at her father, Murong Wei, who was gazing this way with a smile that seemed to suggest he was lost in thought. Her face immediately turned red, and she dared not continue to tease Mo Ming.
Feng Tianshu was still there, seemingly waiting for him.
Mo Ming walked over with Murong Lian and smiled at Feng Tianshu, saying, "President Feng, I really owe you today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to acquire the ownership of this land so easily."
"Oh, don't be modest. With your abilities, acquiring this piece of land is a piece of cake. I must say, Mr. Mo, you really are well-hidden. If it weren't for my connections, I would never have guessed that the mastermind behind Dragon City in the Sky Group would be such a young man," Feng Tianshu said with a bitter smile and shook his head.
Hearing this, Murong Wei's expression changed dramatically as he was filled with shock. He looked at Mo Ming and asked, "Mo Ming, is what President Feng said true? Are you really the founder of Dragon City in the Sky?"
"Uh... Father-in-law, allow me to explain this to you later..." Mo Ming said with a wry smile as he looked at Feng Tianshu. "I mean, President Feng, I still want to operate behind the scenes. You don't need to expose my identity, right?"
"Haha... What's the big deal? Murong will always be your father-in-law; it won't make much difference if he knows," Feng Tianshu laughed heartily.
Mo Ming smiled lightly and said, "I'm curious about how President Feng found out about me."
"Your identity is indeed well-concealed. I put in quite a bit of effort and finally learned it from Mr. Meng. To be honest, at first I didn't quite believe it. But after seeing you today, I finally believe it—Mr. Mo, you truly have that qualification," Feng Tianshu replied with a faint smile.
"Oh, so you learned it from my master. Well then, since President Feng has gone through so much trouble, you must have something to discuss with me?" Mo Ming was very curious about why a business prodigy would personally seek him out.
"There is indeed something." Feng Tianshu nodded and glanced around. "However, this isn't a good environment for discussions. I hope we can talk privately; is that alright?"
"Then it seems the matter is indeed significant. Alright, President Feng, just tell me where you'd like to meet; the location is up to you," Mo Ming replied to Feng Tianshu before turning to Murong Wei and Murong Lian. "I have something to discuss with President Feng. Lian Lian, you can go back with Father-in-law first. Once I'm done talking, I'll come find you."
"Sorry, Murong, I really have something important to discuss with Mr. Mo. I'll definitely make it up to you with drinks another day," Feng Tianshu said apologetically.
Murong Wei, a seasoned player in the business world, understood the situation. He nodded and replied with a smile, "Alright, since President Feng has matters to discuss with Mo Ming, I won't disturb you. We can have a good drink together when you have time."
"Mo Ming, I'm heading back now. Be careful..." Murong Lian looked at Feng Tianshu, who was acting mysteriously, and felt a bit worried about Mo Ming's safety since it seemed like there were things even she and Murong Wei couldn't know.
Mo Ming reached out to gently touch her cheek and reassured her, "Don't worry, it's fine."
"Haha... Miss Murong, you don't need to overthink it. I won't do anything harmful to Mr. Mo; it's just that the matter is too significant, and I don't want it to leak out," Feng Tianshu said with a hearty laugh, understanding Murong Lian's concerns.
"President Feng is joking; I have no such worries," Murong Lian replied with a slight smile. It was indeed quite awkward for her to doubt someone’s intentions right in front of them; it was rather impolite by social standards, so she felt the need to lighten the mood with humor.
"Lian Lian, you should head back now," Mo Ming said.
"Mr. Mo, please follow me," Feng Tianshu said with a smile.
Mo Ming nodded and followed Feng Tianshu as they left.
