Chapter 1048
"Absolutely.I can see this guy cares about you a lot.You should have asked him to stay for dinner." Tia snickered.
"Tia, I think you are looking for a fight, right?"
Nicole raised her hand and chased after Tia.
The two of them started a mad scuffle around Mrs.Wallace Sr.
"Alas, you two are going to make me dizzy."
Abroad, Jared sat in the room and looked up at the stage.
'Max, how many of the companies here today really want the land?"
"Most of them are here for the fun of it.Only 80 percent of those in the front row want the land," Max said.
Jared smirked when he found that there were not as many competitors as he thought and was confident of winning
the bid for the piece of land he wanted.
The bidding started with the auctioneer coming onstage and gave some obligatory talk, then entered the main
business.
"Now on the big screen is the first land, a total area of 336,415 square feet with a starting price of $93 million and a

"$97 million from Bidder 22."
"$100 million." Jared told Max to raise his bid card.
"$100 million from Bidder 5.Any higher?"
"$100 million once.$100 million twice." The auctioneer shouted.
"$105 million."
"$105 million from Bidder 11.Is there any higher?"
The auctioneer swept his eyes over the audience under the stage.
"Mr.Johnston, should we raise it again?"
"No." Jared was deliberately raising the price.
"$105 million once.$105 million twice.$105 million one three times.Sold.Congratulations to Bidder 11."
The venue resounded with celebratory applause.
Bidder 11 smiled and glanced at Jared, as if to say, "Boy, your wallet isn’t as thick as mine."
Jared ignored his taunts but smiled back.He could not care less, since it was not his money.
"The following bid is for a piece of land with a total area of 607,859 square feet.The starting price is $100 million,
with a bid incremental value of $5 million.Start bidding."

The auctioneer looked down at the audience.
"$125 million once."

"$140 million from Bidder 18.Any higher?"
The auctioneer shouted.

Jared told Max to raise his bid card.
"$150 million from Bidder 5.Any higher?"
The auctioneer excitedly scanned the stage as many people chattered.
"$160 million."
A beautiful blonde raised her bid card and then glanced back in Jared's direction.
Jared also looked at her and nodded, not letting Max raise his bid any further.
"$160 million from Bidder 9.$160 million once.$160 million twice.$160 million three times.Sold.Congratulations to
Bidder 9."
The venue erupted in celebratory applause again, and the blonde stood up happily and looked back at Jared.
"The following bidding is the last piece of land today.Total area of 1,333,519 square feet with a starting price of
$200 million and bid incremental value of $20 million.Now start bidding."
Finally, it was the land Jared wanted.He took a glance at the people inside the venue; except for a few in the front
row, those at the back hung back.
"Mr.Johnston, what is the bid this time?"th. Max looked at Jared.
"Let's not rush into it.Let them warm up first." Jared laid back and watched.
"$240 million."
