Victory in Life
Chapter 56

95.-96

"We're going to give it to them?" Dawson raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It would be unwise to go head-to-head with Hanks during the auction. It will greatly increase our costs as well."

Jasper spoke frankly with conviction. He's very confident.

"The right to develop as a whole is invaluable because the project for entrepreneurs from Harbor City is on the south bank of the Southface River. Plus, the businessman from Harbor City was the one who had the final say. So, if he changed his mind, then Hanks would suffer a huge loss.

Dawson understood what Jasper was saying. He took two steps forward and said, "Are you sure that you can influence entrepreneurs?"

Everyone knows that a key element of this is still the attitude of entrepreneurs.

Jasper followed the economic trends in the city of Harbor in his previous life. Then, he smiled and said, "If the businessman is willing to cooperate with us, he will be able to get a greater profit, so why not?"

...

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Today, the city hall will be a temporary venue for auctions, and traffic is heavy on the streets.

Everyone worked to make a living in the same region, so when they met each other, they would definitely exchange conventional greetings.

"Master Long, you came very early."

A middle-aged man wearing a suit smiled and said to the other man who had just got off the car.

"I? You're in the pharmaceutical industry and you're interested in real estate?" Mr. Long scoffed.

"Heh, what's the point of just being interested? There are so many people here but we all already know that we will lose."

"You're right" Mr. Long sighed sadly. "These two families had hostility before. They compete with each other openly and behind the scenes as well.

Last time, the Hanks family suffered a loss. This time, I wonder who will be the winning side?

"They've been fighting for a while. So, it's worth the price of this ticket because we can watch a good show today" the man said with a laugh.

At the same time, Jasper and Wendy arrive at the parking lot.

In an age where everyone still treats Mercedes Benz and BMW as high-end luxury cars, Bentley's appearance is simply remarkable.

Everyone at the auction place turned their heads, and they immediately knew that the Schuler family had arrived.

After Jasper got out of the car with Wendy, some of the people close to Dawson all came to them to exchange their usual greetings.

Although Dawson did not come, Wendy was present on his behalf.

Wendy's performance for the night was unbeatable.

He greeted all of them very politely, and it was as if he could chat with everyone.

After exchanging conventional greetings, Jasper took Wendy to the auction place.

"No wonder your father wasn't worried about letting you come" Jasper said with a smile, "You did a good job."

Wendy pursed her lips and said, "You can't escape this hospitality and social interaction. I've been used to them for a long time.

Both of them walked towards the entrance of the venue. They could see Zayden standing there from afar.

It was as if he was standing there just to wait for Jasper and Wendy. He enshrines those around him who greet him. However, since his family was strong, no one dared to quibble about this with him.

When he saw the two of them, Zayden showed a sinister look accompanied by an evil grin on his face.

He placed his hands behind his back before stepping onto the two of them.

"Hey, the man who depends on his woman is here."

Zayden acted strangely as he opened his mouth. After he said that, his eyes were fixed on Wendy.

He looked greedy and evil.

"Wendy, are you refusing the way to heaven and choosing to hang out with this trash?"

Wendy looked at Zayden coldly and said, "Please go."

Zayden could feel his heart shrink when he saw Wendy wanted to make a good distance between the two of them. He chuckled coldly and said, "I liked you so much back then, but now you've gone blind and instead picked out this trash?"

Zayden pointed at Jasper and said to Wendy, "This trash only covets your beauty and family money. Can't you see it?"

Wendy didn't want to keep fighting with Zayden, so she said, "I told you to go, please. You're just gonna disgust me by standing in front of me."

"Disease?" Zayden lifted his face and laughed out loud. "Alright, then I want to see how long you can be arrogant. Aren't you showing yourself off as an incorruptible person? You're disgusted to see me, aren't you? Soon, I will make you an adulteress pig kneel in front of me!"

"You'll regret it. You'll regret choosing the wrong person. I'm telling you that I'm the nicest guy and this trash next to you is just gonna be my dog!"

"Jasp, ignore him. Let's go." Wendy grabbed Jasper and walked past Zayden to directly enter the auction venue.

As Jasper walked past Zayden, Zayden said hatefully. "Just wait."

"I'll wait.." Jasper smile. "I'll wait for your death."

Zayden turned around with a flash of understanding. Then, he looked straight at Jasper's back and clenched his fists. His nails were pierced into his flesh.

Suddenly, Zayden laughed unwell. "The more you feel good about yourself, the worse you will be. Come on, let's see who's laughing last."

After Wendy and Jasper walked into the venue, Wendy said to Jasper, "Jasp, Zayden is so disgusting."

Jasper took Wendy to their seat and said, "We don't have to be mad at people like this. Our rivals have always been the Hanks family for a long time and not Zayden. He is not yet qualified for it.

After everyone from different industries arrived, the auction officially began.

A group of people who walked in from the side door with the city hall leader leading them. Then, they sat on a chair that was deliberately separated from the others.

The leaders of the various industries that came to the auction started to interact with each other. They understood that the people who had just entered were influential businessmen from the city of Harbor.

The leader of the group was a man who looked like he was in his 60s. He was wearing a suit and looked skinny. However, when he spoke, he exuded the aura of a successful man and looked full of charisma.

Next to him was a young man and a young woman. The man was chewing gum while looking slovenly.

The woman was extremely beautiful and looked extremely charming as if she had been blessed by heaven. When he appeared, he attracted the attention of many people.

The woman looked around at the place as if she was looking for someone.

Soon, his eyes landed on Jasper. He smiled gently, greeting her from afar.

Jasper smiled back at him in response.

"Do you know each other?"

Wendy is very sensitive about this.

"Not really

I only met him once" Jasper replied honestly.

"so. I felt nothing staring at him. Anyone would be a pretty shell compared to you."

"When Wendy got an answer that filled her with the desire to live, she finally showed a sincere smile. He was pleased with Jasper's wisdom.

Zayden looked into the eyes of the slovenly man from a distance. When he saw the other party gesturing 'OK' at him, he heaved a sigh of relief before turning around to look for Jasper.

When he saw Jasper and Wendy joking flirtatiously at each other, his eyes darkened and he turned his head mockingly.

The host took to the stage during the commotion and patted the microphone. After all being silent, he said, "Goodbye everyone. I'll be the host of the auction today.

"Additionally, the millionaire investor returning from the town of Harbor, Mr. Zachary Law, his eldest son, Henry Law, and his daughter Anna Law, will be watching from one side."

After learning of the identity of the businessman from Harbor City, an uproar began among the millionaires from the province.

Everyone knew that the businessmen from Harbor City were very influential, but they had no idea that it was the number one richest family in the town of Harbor-Law Family.

It can be said that the Law family is one of the most land-friendly families among the top millionaires in the city of Harbor. Their former master, Tom Law, and the leaders of the capital had a very close relationship.

They could not compete with the previous Mr. Law in terms of status and position.

the host entertained everyone's emotions. Then, he said, "So, let's start the auction now. Only one item was auctioned off today and it was a 16-acre plot of land on the south bank of the Southface River. In addition, the land was included with the right to develop the entire southern bank of the Southface River in its entirety."

"The details of the land are already on everyone's table. I'm sure everyone has seen this, so don't waste any more time and start now. The base price is 300 million dollars.each increase in the bid should not be less than one million dollars."

"300 million!"

After the host finished saying that, someone immediately raised their oars.

Everyone on the scene smiled understandingly. Everyone knew in their hearts that they had only come to watch the auction.

The main characters will be the Hanks family and the Schuler family.

The wealth and power that were present were only slightly below these two families.

"400 million."

Indeed, Zayden bargained right after.

The person who bid 300 million gave up quickly.

It is not dangerous to mention the starting price. If the Hanks family had already joined, then it would be offensive to continue bidding.

"500 million."

Jasper started lifting his paddle without disappointing the others.

The auction had just begun and both of them came with flaming weapons.

Everyone started watching the show like a submissive little boy. No one dared to disturb the fight between the two families at this moment.

Zayden looked at Jasper and smiled coldly. He had an appointment with a businessman from Harbor City, so he wasn't afraid to spend money.

"600 million!"

"700 million!"

Zayden quickly bid and turned to smile coldly at Jasper. He said, "Don't come and bid like everyone else if you don't have money. Why don't you just look at yourself?"

"He made you angry on purpose."

Wendy pulls up Jasper's sleeve.

"I know," replied Jasper indifferently.

"So what should we do? Our limit is 900 million. I don't think he'll give up based on his attitude" Wendy said worriedly.

"710 million." Jasper lifted his paddle again.

Zayden simply stood up and pointed at Jasper before laughing coldly. He said, "Are you out of money? Where does it add ten million? I'll ask for a billion!"

"Improve it if you have the guts!"

After bidding a billion, it caused an uproar in the crowd.

This price is more than everyone expected.

Everyone looked at Jasper.

No one knew if he would be angry with the increase in the bid.

"What are we gonna do?" Wendy asked worriedly.

There was no change in Jasper's expression. He shook his head and said, "This is outside our price range."

"You said land development rights were very important .." said Wendy hurriedly.

"Don't worry," Jasper patted Wendy's hand. "I have a way."

Wendy finally felt at ease after Jasper said that.

It was proven that as long as Jasper said he had a plan, he would never let him down.

", One billion to two. Is there another offer?"

The voice of the host kept coming from the stage.

Everyone below the stage was silent. No one expected the Hanks family to win with such an overwhelming advantage when they thought that they would witness a fierce fight between the two giants.

Zayden chuckled furiously as he pointed at Jasper. "Are you not very capable? Lift oars! Lift oars! continue the offer! I can kill you with my money! You're too young to play with me!"

Almost as soon as Zayden said that, Jasper's voice echoed throughout the hall.

"1.2 M,"

There is a little confidence that will not lose to others in his indifference.

Everyone widened their eyes to look at him. When they thought Jasper was admitting defeat, he boldly bid 200 million pressing the price.

"Jasp, aren't we going to let go?" Wendy asked in a small voice. He was confused by what Jasper was doing now.

"Since the Hanks family is so rich, then we will make them pay a few hundred million extra," Jasper said and smiled gently.

Wendy looked dazed. She looked at him as if telling him 'You're so evil'. He couldn't control the smile that formed on his lips, and it said 'I like this'.

Jasper looked at Zayden who suddenly stopped chuckling and now looked like a duck choking its throat. A cold and calm smile then appeared on his lips.

The smile on Jasper's lips looked like a blatant provocation to Zayden, and it had completely trampled on his dignity.

It was as if what he was doing just now was just a clown.

"1,2 M! one time!" The voice of the show reader is heard.

The corner of Zayden's lips twitched. He grinned wickedly and said, "Don't be too happy with yourself. Do you think you can win with just 1.2 M? Are you even qualified to compare your wealth with the Hanks family
