Chapter 593
This piece of news was like a sharp thorn that pierced his heart and filled him with hatred towards Gao Ke-ning.
At this moment, the lights in the banquet hall were bright and people were laughing and talking, but in He Yuzhu's eyes, all of this became a hypocritical backdrop.
The distance between him and Gao Keng was less than ten meters, which was just within the coverage of his powerful mental power.
He Yuzhu took a deep breath and tried his best to remain calm on the surface, but his heart was like a surging wave.
His mind changed, and the powerful mental power hidden in his body instantly became active. An invisible and colorless mental power was like a lightning that cuts through the night sky, rushing towards Gao Ke Niu at lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, this mental power was imprinted on Gao Ke Ning's body, leaving a unique and extremely secret mental power mark.
This mark is like an invisible tracker. Even if Gao Kenian flies away and leaves the ten-meter range in the future, He Yuzhu can still use it to vaguely sense the general direction of Gao Kenian, making it difficult for Gao Kenian to escape his "control" no matter what.
Whenever the night fell and everything was silent, a strong fire of revenge would ignite in He Yuzhu's heart, and he had planned to launch a sneak attack on Gao Ke Ning countless times.
Gao Ke Nian, like a cunning fox, had sensed He Yuzhu's intention and hid himself early, making it impossible for He Yuzhu to find his whereabouts no matter how hard he tried. All his plans went down the drain.
Now, in the ever-changing situation in Hong Kong, He Yuzhu unexpectedly meets Gao Ke-ning face to face by chance. How could he easily miss such a godsend opportunity?
At this moment, he had a mysterious and powerful mark of mental power on his body, just like a bright light suddenly lighting up in the darkness, or like a wanderer finding a solid harbor, giving him unprecedented confidence.
From this moment on, he no longer had to worry, fearing that his opponent would be like a cunning mouse, hiding without a trace in an instant at the slightest sign of trouble, leaving him trapped in endless pursuit and waiting again.
At this moment, Gao Kening was sitting upright on the carved mahogany chair. The cigar in his hand had burned out, and the ashes were scattered on the expensive Persian carpet, but he was completely unaware.
The originally gloomy face now looked even more like the dark sky before a storm, extremely ugly.
In his mind, the disastrous failures of the previous two operations kept flashing back like a kaleidoscope.
The first time, the carefully selected men sneaked into Huo Yingdong's house like ghosts, thinking that they could hit the target with one strike, but somehow, the other party's house seemed to have been well prepared. After a fierce fight, the men abandoned their weapons and fled in embarrassment.
The second time they attacked He Yuzhu, they chose a street with heavy traffic, hoping to take advantage of the chaos. However, they still failed and suffered heavy casualties.
These consecutive failures made Gao Ke's anger burn like a raging fire. He was also full of unwillingness. His clenched fists were so tight that the knuckles turned white due to the force.
This series of conflicts was like throwing a huge rock into an already turbulent sea of hatred, stirring up a thousand huge waves and instantly escalating the hatred between the two sides to the point of a fight to the death.
How could Gao Kening swallow this humiliation? Not long ago, he united various forces and carefully planned a containment strategy. The streets and alleys were full of spies, and all the important roads were under control.
They thought that this would trap Huo Yingdong and He Yuzhu in the city, stop them from moving forward, and make them completely defeated in this business game.
However, reality was like a loud slap in the face.
Even in the face of numerous obstacles, Huo Yingdong and He Yuzhu seemed to be assisted by God. They overcame all obstacles and finally arrived at the Governor's Mansion before 3 pm.
At the same time, He Yuzhu activated the mysterious power in his body and brought his keen mental scanning ability to the extreme.
He closed his eyes slightly, and everything around him seemed to be visible to him.
In the complex torrent of business information, he finally caught the other party's bottom price for this bid - a full 408.8 million!
The moment he learned of this number, He Yuzhu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, seemed to have found a safe home and instantly settled down.
Thinking back to his initial guess about the other party's bottom price, he felt that his thinking was too conservative at the time, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Originally, everyone thought that the other party would set the price at an integer of 400 million. After all, this is a very iconic and conventional number.
But who could have thought that the other party would be so unexpected and add an additional 8.8. There must be unique business considerations behind this.
Fortunately, He Yuzhu, with his bold decision-making ability, promptly changed the amount of his bid to 411 million at the last minute.
This operation was like a carefully planned chess game. Not only did it just exceed the other party's bid, but it also cleverly won the upper hand, thus winning a crucial advantage in this fierce bidding.
In the tense atmosphere as the bidding deadline approached, team members had clear division of labor and raced against time to do the final checks and improvements.
The colleague in charge of copywriting carefully proofreads every piece of data to ensure accuracy.
The designers repeatedly adjusted the layout format of the bid, striving to present the best visual effect.
Finally, at the critical moment before the deadline, they successfully submitted the carefully prepared bid to the relevant personnel in charge of the bidding.
At this time, there were less than 20 minutes left before the final deadline. The air in the office seemed to freeze, and everyone was praying silently in their hearts that this bid would stand out.
As the clock on the conference room wall pointed precisely to 3 o'clock, the staff moved quickly and orderly like well-trained dancers.
With professional smiles on their faces, they enthusiastically invited representatives from all companies participating in this major bidding, including the Ho Group and its competitors.
Under guidance, everyone walked towards a spacious and bright meeting room that was decorated in a solemn yet elegant manner.
In the conference room, soft light shines on the shiny conference table, on which documents related to the bid are neatly arranged.
After everyone took their seats, the on-site bidding opening ceremony, which attracted much attention from the industry and involved countless commercial interests and future trends, officially kicked off as everyone waited with bated breath...
There were a total of five companies participating in the bidding, and the bids given by the other three companies ranged from 350 million to 390 million.
The atmosphere at the bidding site was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the document in the host's hand.
When the host took a deep breath and then loudly announced that Taixing Company's bid amount was 408.8 million, the scene was like a bomb was dropped and fell into an uproar in an instant!
The crowd was instantly in an uproar, with the sound of whispers rising one after another, surging like a tide.
Some people widened their eyes in disbelief, deeply shocked by Taixing Company's bold bid.
Some people frowned with shrewd eyes, secretly guessing the intention behind them. Was it a desperate attempt to win, or a strategic layout with hidden secrets?
He Yuzhu and his group were standing in a corner at this time, exchanging knowing glances with each other, secretly congratulating themselves on having made the right decision after days of weighing and analyzing, and successfully surpassing this powerful opponent...
You know, over the years, the bid price for bidding projects of this scale has never exceeded 400 million.
In everyone's perception, 400 million is already an unattainable price, like a towering mountain that is difficult to climb.
At this moment, the representatives of Taixing Company were all very proud of themselves, and the person in charge named Gao Kengning was even more arrogant.
He was wearing a neat, high-end custom-made suit, the famous watch on his wrist was shining with a cold luster, and every subtle movement revealed deliberate arrogance.
He was seen glancing at the other bidders with a look of disdain, as if everyone present were insignificant ants.
The corners of his mouth were deliberately raised, revealing a sarcastic smile. The arc was like a sharp blade, which seemed able to easily cut through the dignity of others.
He looked like he had just hung a huge neon sign with the words "You're all doomed to lose" on his body, openly challenging his opponents. The atmosphere at the entire bidding site became depressing and tense because of his arrogance.
But in the face of Gao Ke-ning's blatant provocation, everyone present seemed to have heard nothing, their expressions were as calm as water, as if there were no ripples on the surface of a lake.
They were still sitting in their original positions, as steady as ancient pines rooted for thousands of years, not at all disturbed by his actions.
Gao Kengning looked at this scene and his heart skipped a beat. The feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, and he felt vaguely that something was not right.
Before this, he had gone through a lot of trouble and learned through those shady rumors that the entertainment company's reserve price was only 400 million.
So, when Taixing Company called out a high price of 408.8 million, he was looking forward to seeing his competitors being like frost-bitten eggplants, with disappointment and frustration on their faces.
He even secretly simulated those scenes in his mind, imagining his opponents' frustrated and helpless looks.
However, reality was like a loud slap in the face.
These people were calm beyond imagination, as if the high price of Taixing Company was nothing compared to theirs, not even causing a ripple. This made Gao Kening more confused and uneasy.
Just as Gao Kengning was full of doubts and fidgeting like an ant on hot pan, the staff member next to him coughed lightly to clear his slightly dry throat, then raised his hand to straighten the microphone, and continued to read out the bid price of the next company in a clear and articulate tone.
The voice was clear and penetrating. In this meeting room where one could hear a pin drop, it was heard clearly in every corner: "Now, I will announce the bid price of Aocheng Entertainment Company... 411 million!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience exploded in an instant, with exclamations and discussions mixed together, as if a calm lake was hit by a huge rock, causing layers of huge waves.
Taixing Company, which was originally considered to have a sure win, overcame all obstacles and stood out among many bidders. Everyone thought that this project belonged to it.
Who would have thought that at the last moment that decided the outcome, Australia City Entertainment Company emerged like a dark horse and successfully overtook with a price nearly 2 yuan higher!
In an instant, the air in the entire conference hall seemed to be grasped by an invisible giant hand and completely solidified.
Everyone's eyes widened, their gazes as if attracted by a magnet, staring at the staff on the stage, surprise and disbelief written all over their faces, their mouths slightly open as if an egg could fit in.
Obviously, this reversal was beyond their expectations. It was like a bolt from the blue, hard to believe. Many people even began to whisper to each other, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
But this is only the first round of bidding, and a price lead is far from enough for Australia City Entertainment Company to sit back and relax and securely win the gambling license that countless people covet.
In this fierce competition, even a company that bids only 350 million is qualified to go to the podium and announce its commitment.
After all, although the bid price is a key factor in bidding, it is by no means the only factor.
The Governor's Office's considerations are far-reaching and comprehensive. They look beyond short-term interests and look to the longer-term future.
In their view, in addition to economic benefits, factors at the entire social level are of paramount importance.
At that time, the social environment in the Haojing area faced many challenges, and people's living space needed urgent improvement.
How to rectify public security chaos, improve the level of infrastructure construction, optimize the public service system, and create a safer, more convenient and comfortable living space for the people is the real core demand behind this bidding.
However, the clock on the wall had quietly pointed to more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sunlight shone through the window, casting a dim yellow on the ground.
With only two or three hours left before the normal end of get off work, the atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly solemn and tense, like a taut bowstring.
There are as many as five companies participating in the bidding this time. If we follow the normal process and ask each company to give a detailed explanation of the plan, there will be no time limit and the task is destined to be difficult to complete today.
The project leader and team members sat together urgently, discussing things in low and anxious voices. Everyone had frowned and looked solemn.
After careful consideration and weighing of the pros and cons, we finally made a decision: to move the official presentation time to the next morning.
Today, the bid amounts submitted by all companies participating in the bidding will be announced to the public.
Tomorrow, we will invite representatives from each company to come on stage in order of bid price from low to high, and introduce in detail their solemn commitments, and accept the scrutiny and judgment of everyone present.
As everyone filed out of the Governor's Palace, no matter they were wealthy British corporate executives or Chinese businessmen who had worked hard in Hong Kong for many years, their faces were covered with a cold and invisible mask, without any unnecessary expression.
They clenched their teeth, sealed their lips, and remained silent, only their hurried steps revealed their inner unrest.
The staff of the British-owned enterprise were dressed in neat suits, their shiny leather shoes making crisp sounds on the stone road, and they walked quickly towards the custom-made luxury car without looking around.
The Chinese businessmen were dressed in traditional Chinese costumes, looked solemn, and walked hurriedly. Their assistants followed closely beside them, holding important documents in their hands.
