He is also determined to get his parents' former residence.
After all, this former residence carries the last time he spent with his parents, which is of great significance.
As several foreclosure cars were gradually taken away, the auction entered the real estate auction stage.
There are a total of 13 properties participating in the judicial auction this time, but among these 13 properties, the one with the lowest starting price is the one where Ye Chen's parents once lived.
The main reason is that the old house has been classified as a protected building by Jinling. Not only is demolition prohibited, but also flipping over is prohibited.
More importantly, whoever buys this old house has certain obligations to protect it.
The house is already very old, and it cannot be demolished to obtain greater economic value. Even if you want to flip it over, you are not allowed to do it, so basically no one is interested in such a house.
No matter who buys this house, there is no chance of cashing it out again.
However, Ye Chen and Du Haiqing are both waiting for the shooting of this house to start.
Because this house had the lowest starting price, as soon as the property auction began, the auctioneer directly projected a photo of the property on the big screen and introduced: "The first property we are going to auction today is
It is a protected old mansion located at the intersection of Jiujie. The specific information about this old mansion can be seen in the auction manual, so we will not introduce it here and start the auction directly. The starting price
It’s 880,000 yuan, and the bidding starts now!”
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Du Haiqing directly raised the sign and said: "One million."
"Okay!" the auctioneer said immediately: "Bidder No. 34 bids one million. Is there anyone higher than one million?"
An average-looking middle-aged man sitting in the corner immediately raised a sign and said: "One and a half million!"
This middle-aged man is Chen Zekai’s driver.
"One and a half million?!" The auctioneer was stunned. The starting price was 880,000, and after only two rounds of bidding, it reached 1.5 million, which was almost doubled!
You know, this property has almost no room for appreciation!
If you spend 1.5 million to buy such a house, the only possibility is to buy it in your own hands.
Because of his surprise, before he could recover, Du Haiqing held up the sign again and said seriously: "I will pay two million."
The auctioneer was even more surprised.
He immediately looked at Du Haiqing and reminded: "Bidder No. 34, I need to remind you that this property is prohibited from demolition and development, and is prohibited from being rebuilt. It must be kept as it is in accordance with the city's requirements, and at the same time, it must bear certain responsibilities.
maintenance obligations, are you sure you know these particularities?"
Du Haiqing nodded: "I know for sure."
Although the auctioneer was confused, he still nodded and said, "Bidder No. 34 bids 2 million. Is there anything higher than 2 million?"
The middle-aged man in the corner immediately said: "I offer 3 million!"
"Three million..." The auctioneer wiped his sweat and continued to ask: "Now bidder No. 22 bids 3 million. Is there anyone higher than him?"
"Four million!" Du Haiqing raised his hand almost without thinking.
When the auctioneer heard this, he hurriedly said: "Bid four on the 34th..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Zekai's driver loudly said: "I will pay 5 million!"
Du Haiqing didn't even give the auctioneer any time to think this time, and said directly: "I'll pay eight million."
Eight million?!
The scene was suddenly filled with exclamations of exclamation!
This old house is worthless in the eyes of other bidders.
An old and dilapidated old house not only has no commercial value, but is also very uncomfortable to live in.
An old house like this is either leaking air or rain. It must be very cold in winter and very hot in summer. Living in such a house, it is better to just rent a low-rent house provided by the city.
So everyone felt that, judging from the starting price of 880,000, there was a high probability that this house would not be auctioned.
However, who would have thought that such a house with almost no value would be snapped up by people and the price would rise to 8 million in a short period of time.
Although Chen Zekai's driver has little money, Chen Zekai has already told him that he will win this house at any cost, let alone 8 million, even if it is 80 million, he will not hesitate.
Therefore, not to be outdone at all, he immediately raised his hand and said: "Eight million and eight hundred thousand!"
8.8 million, which is a full 10 times higher than the starting price of 880,000.
However, the competition between the two has only just begun.
Du Haiqing didn't seem to want to continue raising the price bit by bit. She raised her hand directly and said: "Ten million."
The entire auction site was once again in an uproar.
In the box, Chen Zekai said in Ye Chen's ear: "Master, it seems that the second young lady of the Du family is determined to win."
Ye Chen nodded and sighed helplessly: "I don't quite understand what this aunt is thinking. After all, she and my father have no real emotional basis, so why bother clinging to this old house?"
Chen Zekai said with emotion: "To be honest, although I am a few years older than you, I have heard about Du Haiqing's feelings for your father. It is indeed a deep love..."
Ye Chen hummed. At the auction outside, Chen Zekai's driver had already called the price to twelve million.
At this time, Du Haiqing followed suit and raised the price to 15 million.
Ye Chen couldn't help but frowned, and said to Chen Zekai beside him: "Send a WeChat message to your driver and ask him to bid 30 million directly!"
"Okay!" Chen Zekai nodded, immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message.
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man at the auction outside raised his hand again. On the basis of Du Haiqing's fifteen million, he doubled it to thirty million.
The place was filled with the sound of hissing breathing.
A house that was not worth even one million was actually raised to a high price of 30 million. This is simply an unheard-of thing in the history of judicial auctions.
Du Haiqing was also very shocked at this time.
She turned around and looked at the man in the corner who kept raising the price with her, feeling very surprised.
"I really can't understand why this strange man has such a strong desire to buy the house I'm interested in."
"Actually, before I came here today, I had imagined that I would encounter competitors at the auction."
"But the competitor I expected was the young man I met that day at Changying's former residence."
"Because that young man looks almost exactly the same as Chang Ying. If I guessed correctly, he should be Chang Ying's son."
"In the past few days, I have been trying to find his whereabouts, but I have never found any clues."
"And now, that young man did not appear at the auction, but besides him, who else would be so obsessed with this old house? Who is this middle-aged man who bids 30 million? In other words, he
Who sent it?"
Just when Du Haiqing's thoughts were swirling, the auctioneer said: "Thirty million once, thirty million twice, is there anything higher than 30 million? If not, then 30 million is the third...
....”
Before he finished speaking, Du Haiqing came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Fifty million! I'll pay 50 million!"
"This..." The auctioneer himself couldn't believe it, and shouted tremblingly: "Fifty million is the first time..."
Chen Zekai's driver was even a little nervous.
Although the money spent was not his, he also felt that the money was spent a bit unfairly.
So, he quickly sent a WeChat message to Chen Zekai: "Boss, do you still bid?"
Chen Zekai immediately replied: "Another five million!"
So, the driver raised his hand again and said: "I will pay 55 million!"
Ye Chen looked at Du Haiqing next to Su Zhiyu through the one-way glass, sighed softly, and said to Chen Zekai: "Old Chen, if this second lady of the Du family still raises the price, let your driver give up the photo.
.”
Chen Zekai was stunned and asked: "Master, are you going to give up?!"
After saying that, he hurriedly added: "Master! Let alone 55 million, even 550 million is still a drop in the bucket for us!"
Ye Chen shook his head gently and sighed: "Hey, forget it, it's not about money, let's help this aunt!"
