I'm back in 1990

Chapter 244: I'm just bullying you guys.

These people are clearly trying to embezzle state-owned assets in a disguised way, and they've even used a seemingly legal method that will make it impossible to hold them accountable years later.

In this era, information was already scarce, and the general public lacked sufficient knowledge. Auctions had disappeared from China for many years, and most people today do not even know what an auction is. This has given these well-informed individuals an opportunity to profit.

However, they were unlucky enough to run into Huang Xiaochuan, an unpredictable outsider who completely ruined their plans.

Huang Xiaochuan didn't care about any of that. Since he'd run into them, he might as well go for it. Anyway, the official auction rules were that the highest bidder won, so it was just a matter of raising a paddle! He might as well raise it!

This guy, as soon as the auction starts, Zhou Wei raises his paddle the most frequently, making those people hate him so much they want to grind their teeth to dust.

At first, they had no choice but to add more units, but they soon discovered a problem: they didn't have enough money. The original plan was to acquire at least fifteen of the seventeen storefronts.

If things continue like this, fifteen rooms? We'll be lucky to get seven or eight. It's all those two young guys' fault.

Using the excuse of needing to use the restroom, these people requested a ten-minute break, and then rushed outside the banquet hall to discuss their next move.

"Old Kong, you'd better think of something! If these two punks keep causing trouble, things will get really bad."

"Where did these two scoundrels come from? Why didn't anyone ask them where they came from beforehand?"

"I found out! The person who registered the information was a woman named Qian Jiazhen. Who knew two young men would show up? I originally thought they were just here to go through the motions and join in the fun, but now it seems these two rascals are here to cause trouble."

A short, stout middle-aged man took a deep drag on his cigarette: "Damn it, it must be that bastard Min Zhaohui who sent them to cause trouble. That damned guy, he can't beat us openly, so he resorts to underhanded tactics!"

"What do we do now? At this rate, we're running out of money. Can we find a way to get rid of them?"

"What should we do? The leaders are all sitting up there. Why don't you figure out a way to get rid of them?"

The person who had just given the idea quickly waved their hands, saying, "I can't do it, I can't do it!"

At this moment, an old man interjected, "Aren't those two scoundrels desperately trying to drive up the price? We'll stop now and see how they manage to buy it all. Even if Min Zhaohui is behind this, he can't get that much cash. It'll definitely go unsold. We'll try to find a way to buy it all at once."

"I think Old Wu's idea is good. These two punks are just pushed forward by Min Zhaohui to cause trouble. This bastard doesn't have much strength. Let's just let the two punks be lifted up high and let Min Zhaohui, this bastard, be overpowered."

"I think this method works, so let's do it this way. We'll act according to the situation later and help raise the price as well, but we need to be careful not to overspend and end up with a bad deal."

"Understood, that's what we'll do!"

The group reached a consensus and returned to the banquet hall to continue the auction.

But what happened next made these people regret it. Their trick might have worked on others, but unfortunately they encountered Huang Xiaochuan, who had just returned from a big win in the stock market. He might not have much else, but he had a lot of money, and he directly threw money at them until they were dizzy.

"Next up for auction is No. xx Guanqian Street, with a property area of ​​115 square meters and a starting price of 270,000 yuan."

One of the men immediately raised a sign and shouted, "Three hundred thousand!"

Huang Xiaochuan glanced at the man and found him interesting. It seemed these guys wanted to test their skills against him. "Bring it on! Who's afraid of who!"

He then gave Zhou Wei a wink.

Zhou Wei immediately raised his sign and shouted, "Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

The other party didn't back down: "Three hundred and sixty thousand."

Zhou Wei raised his sign again: "400,000."

"Four hundred and one thousand."

Zhou Wei glanced at Huang Xiaochuan, who nodded slightly, giving Zhou Wei a subtle hint.

"Five hundred thousand."

Once that price was announced, those people dared not follow suit, fearing they would be stuck with a bad deal after paying a high price.

Huang Xiaochuan didn't care at all. Expensive? Not at all to him. A storefront on Guanqian Street! In the future, any storefront could easily sell for tens of millions, and some of the larger ones would fetch over a hundred million. In the future, how many people will be holding money and still not be able to buy one? Who would be stupid enough to sell a goose that lays golden eggs?

And it's no exaggeration to say that everyone sitting in this banquet hall combined probably doesn't have as much money as Huang Xiaochuan, yet they're still delusional enough to think they can raise the price so Huang Xiaochuan can't afford it? What are they thinking? It seems these people haven't been to the Shanghai stock market; if they had any worldly experience, they wouldn't have come up with such a terrible idea.

This led to an interesting phenomenon at the auction: a group of people helped drive up the price, and Huang Xiaochuan accepted it all without question, acting as if to say, "You dare to bid if I bid, do you dare to bid if I bid?"

Ultimately, Huang Xiaochuan acquired twelve of the seventeen storefronts in the auction. Following the auction procedure, Huang Xiaochuan went on stage to sign and confirm the relevant documents for the twelve storefronts he won. As required, he will pay the auction price in full by next Saturday, and the relevant authorities will assist Huang Xiaochuan in obtaining the relevant property ownership certificates.

Only then did these people realize they might have made a mistake. This wasn't some nobody; he was a big crocodile! It was just that he looked so young that they misjudged him.

After completing the relevant formalities, Huang Xiaochuan took Zhou Wei downstairs to prepare to return to Shanghai.

The people who attended the auction are still here, waiting for Huang Xiaochuan to come downstairs in the lobby.

When they saw Huang Xiaochuan coming downstairs, they wanted to stop him, have a serious talk with him, scare him, and make him spit out some of the meat he had eaten.

As a result, they were stopped by Yang Junmin and three others who were waiting on the first floor. They were wearing black t-shirts, all with buzz cuts, and were strong and muscular. As former elite marines, their imposing presence was something that ordinary people could not match, which immediately intimidated the others.

These people look like soldiers, don't they? The men's hearts started pounding. They had originally planned to scare Huang Xiaochuan, but now they were scared back by him.

Faced with this situation, no one would dare to act recklessly. Young, rich, and with bodyguards—with these labels combined, could this be an ordinary person?

Huang Xiaochuan didn't bother with these people. They were just small fry; the real big fish wouldn't be here. Their embezzlement of assets was far more extensive than this.

Huang Xiaochuan ignored these people completely, went straight out the door, got into his car, and left.

This left many people who had just attended the auction with much to ponder.
