The buzz was endless, and everyone felt a little strange. They originally thought that the most promising companies had not been bought, but they got it from an unknown company. They were full of doubts, and many people began to complain about whether there was something wrong.
This was what the etiquette lady comforted. “We follow the principle of fairness and making it public. There is no shady detail. In order to reassure everyone, the organizer decided to announce your bidding price.”
When everyone’s price appeared on the huge screen in front of them, it was indeed the company that offered the highest price. No one said anything more.
After all, they didn’t dare to go head-to-head with the organizer’s background. The government was on the top of the list, and the price was shown on it. If they complained again and were overheard by someone with ulterior motives, they would probably get into trouble in the future.
Moreover, they didn’t have much hope at first, but now they couldn’t reconcile themselves to being taken over by an unknown small company. If it were the Wilson, it wouldn’t be so strange.
Many people looked at Irene gloatingly, looking forward to her reaction. However, to their great disappointment, Irene had quickly adjusted her mood. Her face was calm, making it hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
On the other hand, Tom was gnashing his teeth. He could not wait to rush forward and find the people from the company at this moment, and then threaten and lure him to transfer the land.
In Tom’s eyes, it was just a small company. If he could successfully bid, he should be lucky. It was still a problem whether he could take out so much money or not. Tom did not take it seriously.
“Anyway, we didn’t get the Wilson, did we?” Thinking of this, he felt much better.
The strange company offered the highest price, the second highest was the Wood Group, and the third was the Wilson. If it hadn’t been for this halfway out of nowhere, this piece of land would have ended up in the hands of the Wood Group.
Moreover, the interesting thing was that the Wood Group’s bid was only tens of thousands of dollars higher than the Wilson’s. Everyone present was not stupid. Everyone knew the reason why there were so many tricks in the business world.
Irene and Elio were both surprised. They looked at each other and knew who had leaked it.
“But who on earth is it?” Irene and Elio were both thinking about it. They were all on high alert. The documents were all taken over and stored well. It was impossible for ordinary people to get in touch with them.
Even if he got in touch with it, it was only a part of it, not the core content. Moreover, after Elio told Irene and Tom to invite him out, Irene was even more careful.
However, she didn’t expect that Tom would succeed in the end. Thinking of this, Irene was a little angry. If it weren’t for the company, Tom would have succeeded. At the thought of this, Irene felt disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly.
No wonder Tom was so confident in the beginning. It turned out that he was waiting for her here. It seemed that she had to thank the company and let Tom’s plot succeed.
Instead of letting Tom get it, Irene would rather let a strange company get it. There was something wrong with Tom’s character.
It was just like a warning, reminding Irene that there was a spy in the company.
If it weren’t for the spy working with Tom, how could Tom know? Irene really wanted to go back to the company and investigate it as soon as possible to find out the spy, so as not to fail again.
Tom had made up his mind to teach that small company a lesson. As for Irene, she should have already known that he was a cat in the bidding price, but so what?
“Next, let’s welcome the person who successfully won the auction,” the organizer said excitedly. Everyone wanted to see his true face for a while.
A young man came to the stage. Everyone said that they had never seen such a person before. It seemed that he had no background. Thinking of some people’s thoughts, Tom began to live. They could not rob a big company, but they still had some ways to deal with a small company.
One of the people under the stage opened his mouth wide in surprise. He could even stuff an egg into it.
He found that this person was the man who he thought was a bumpkin and asked him about Irene.
The real person didn’t show his true colors. He didn’t expect that he would defeat strong competitors like the Wilson and the Wood Group without saying a word. This person kept sighing in his heart. It seemed that he couldn’t look down on others next time.
After the auction, everyone was ready to get up and leave.
Tom did not leave, and Irene also planned to wait and see.
“Are we not going to leave, Irene?” Millicent asked curiously.
“Look at what Tom wants to do. I always feel that he has some bad intentions.” Irene looked in Tom’s direction.
As soon as he saw Tom rolling his eyes, he knew what bad ideas he had. Needless to say, it must be a matter of that land.
Tom didn’t dare to act wildly in the venue. After all, it was someone else’s territory. Tom knew that no matter how arrogant he was.
When the young man came out, Tom reached out to block his way.
“Who are you?” The man was a little confused. He didn’t know why the man in front of him stopped him.
“Boy, you’re lucky to buy that piece of land. You can offer me a price. I’ll take it,” Tom said arrogantly, showing that he thought highly of you.
“Sir, are you kidding?” The man was almost amused by Tom’s confidence. He didn’t seem to know this person.
“Don’t challenge my patience. Otherwise, some of you will cry. If you know what’s good for you, hand it over quickly.” Tom threatened. In his opinion, it was already a great honor for this guy to talk to him. He didn’t expect that he would be as ungrateful as Irene.
The man was a little speechless. There were many things that could be bought or sold by force, but it was the first time he had seen such a bold and self-righteous man. He didn’t know who gave him the courage.
“Not for sale,” he said flatly.
“Are you sure? Let me tell you, our Wood Group is very strong. If you don’t think about your own strength, you want to go against us. It’s just like an egg hitting a rock. I advise you to think about it carefully. Don’t ruin yourself because of anger.”
Tom said with little patience.
“Then I’ll wait and see.” The man still looked as if he didn’t care what she could do to him.
“Good, very good.”
Tom was a little angry. When he raised his hand and was about to teach this guy a lesson, someone next to him grabbed his hand.
It turned out to be Irene and the others. Sure enough, they were not as good as Irene thought. As soon as they went out, Tom couldn’t wait to find fault with them. Irene and the others saw that something was wrong, so they came over.
“Elio is you again. You’d better stay out of this,” Tom said fiercely.
“Tom, why don’t you take a look at where you are? Why are you already throwing a tantrum before you even step out of other people’s territory?” Elio sneered and quickly loosened his grip.
Tom staggered and almost had a close contact with the earth.
“Tom, let me give you a piece of advice. You’d better not act rashly. He has a Edward background, and you can’t afford to offend him.” Irene didn’t know the true identity of the man in front of her, but she didn’t mind deceiving Tom.
It was not bad to destroy Tom, so he didn’t dare to do it for the time being.
“Irene, do you know him?” Tom steadied himself and was about to fight with Elio for nothing. Suddenly, he heard Irene’s words and hesitated.
“It’s none of your business. Tom, you’d better restrain yourself. If your father knew that you had spent so much effort, not only did he not get this piece of land, but he also offended someone he shouldn’t have…” Irene said meaningfully.
Tom no longer entangled with them. It would not be too late to deal with him when he found out the origin of this guy. Now, if he was lucky, he would let him go first.
As for Irene and Elio, it was extremely unfavorable for the company to confront them now. Moreover, he was not sure if he could win. Tom left reluctantly.
“Thank you, Miss Jones.” The man said politely to Irene with a friendly smile. Irene was not only capable but also had a good character. Otherwise, she would not have helped him just now.
It seemed that she would be a good candidate to cooperate with him.
Moreover, they had always been in charge of the Wilson. After all, they were very Edward and rich. However, since Edward was gone, they were worried that the new leader would not be qualified, so they set their sights on the Wood Group and other companies.
Now it seemed that he had worried too much. At least from the perspective of character, he was very qualified.
Wood Group was also completely excluded. Tom was narrow-minded and arrogant, and his means were not bright.
It could be seen from the man’s eyes that he had used an improper method to get the Wilson’s bid price. If it hadn’t been for them, the Wood Group would have been the biggest winner this time.
If Tom knew that he had missed a good chance because of his recklessness, he would probably cry to death. Unfortunately, there was no regret in the world. Tom had to pay for his behavior.
“You’re welcome. I just don’t like him.” Irene was a little surprised. This man seemed to know her.
“I heard others mention you in the venue.” The man seemed to see Irene’s surprise and explained.
“My surname is James. We’ll meet again in the future.” The man surnamed James was ready to leave.
“Mr. James, you must be careful of Tom. He is not the kind of person who will give up easily.” Irene couldn’t help reminding him.
Mr. James stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Irene with a smile. “Miss Jones, you’re really a nice person. Maybe we’ll meet again soon.”
