Chapter 255 Caufield Bidding
"Ha, this is much better than a Nokia!"

"That's right, but I don't understand many of the operations."

"It's OK if you get familiar with it. Can't a college student operate a mobile phone?"

Since the three of them got their iPhones, Chen Xi finally felt less uncomfortable holding a phone every day. Although it didn't have many functions now, it was much better than his LG Chocolate.

Saori also received an iPhone, and she rewarded him well that night.

After receiving the reward, he decided to buy more small gifts for Saori in the future.

"Hello, aren't you leaving yet? There's an auction today." Chen Xu's urging voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, I forgot while playing with my phone."

He hung up the phone and looked at his phone. There was still half an hour until the agreed time.

We drove all the way to Caufield, which is where Monash University is located. To the east is Chadstone Shopping Center, and to the west is the direction of the city.

Despite being close to Monash University, the area has relatively low house prices and a small population.

However, as time went on, house prices in the area began to rise rapidly. Chen Xi suggested buying land in Doncaster, where the appreciation was faster, but Gouzi and others did not have sufficient funds on hand.

"Oh my god, aren't you afraid of being caught on camera?"

Chen Xu was stunned when a car came speeding and then stopped steadily on the side of the road.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. I've memorized all the places where there are cameras. The police cars are all Holden. When I see that kind of car, I slow down." Chen Xi got out of the car with a smile. This is his usual style. He has never been caught by the police for speeding.

"Hurry up! There are a lot of people participating in the auction today." Max waved to him.

At a glance, Chen Xi saw that there were more people at this auction than usual, and half of them were foreigners.

After all, this is not a Chinese area, foreigners still like to buy land and houses here.

"Wow, there are so many handsome guys today! Nice to see you again, handsome boy!" Zhong Lili noticed Chen Xi and others coming over at this time, and she suddenly became happy.

"Um... hello, Ella." Chen Xi suddenly remembered the name on the business card last time.

"Hate it, we are all Chinese. Sister, I still like you to call me Lili." The aunt waved her hand and covered her mouth again, looking shy, which made Chen Xi almost vomit out the food he had eaten.

"Fuck, Lili? Chen Xi, you really know how to have fun!"

"I am dying of laughter. I can't hold it back."

"You have a really strong taste."

Gou Zi, Ouyang Ming and others started to tease him.

Even Chen Xi himself wanted to laugh. Zhong Lili was so much older than him, yet she was still acting like a little girl. He didn't know if she was also so coquettish when she was young.

"This dark-skinned guy is also very handsome!" Zhong Lili pointed at Ouyang Ming, who frowned.

Just say he is handsome, but you have to add that he has dark skin. Is it possible to compliment someone like that?
"Sure, Brother Ou, friend of women." Chen Xu patted Ouyang Ming who looked unhappy.

"Okay, the auction is about to begin. Keep your funds and take the plots of land I recommended," Max reminded.

"No problem, big brother." Several people responded.

Max is much older than all of them, and several of them followed Chenxu in calling him "Big Brother".

This time, Zhong Lili was accompanied by five people who all looked about the same age as her and were dressed in rustic clothes. However, these people often have the most money in their pockets.

The uncle with glasses whom he had seen before was also in the crowd. It was obvious that he didn't recognize Chen Xi. He felt confused when he saw him looking at him.

The crowd split into two groups, with the yellow-skinned people standing on one side and the other side consisting of foreigners and Indians. Chen Xi was surrounded by various languages, including Sakura language, Vietnamese language, etc.

The first piece of land was magical. It was quite small, only about two hundred square meters, but many people rushed to buy it because it was cheap.

The price suddenly increased from 150,000 to 220,000, and the price continued to increase.

Sometimes Chen Xi couldn't understand the foreigners' train of thought. The price of this land was too high, so it obviously had no investment value.

The foreigners shouting in the crowd were obviously agents, and there were actually real buyers raising the price, and those who raised the price were all foreigners. The Asians watched all this with expressionless faces.

Soon the price reached 290,000.

"Isn't it too uneconomical to buy this land?" Ouyang Ming said in a low voice. The surroundings are a bit desolate and it seems that there are not many people around.

"Those people should be country people. They don't know much about the prices here. It's probably their first time attending an auction, and most of them buy the items to build houses for themselves." Max analyzed, touching his chin.

"It seems that the saying 'the city is full of tricks' is applicable everywhere." Ouyang Ming responded.

Chen Xi just wanted to laugh in his heart. Even Ouyang Ming could see that the land was not worth the price, but there were still people bidding for it.

The price was finally settled at 295,000. The person who bought the land was a middle-aged man wearing a hat. Considering what Max said, he really looked more and more like a farmer in the countryside.

There are actually quite a few wealthy people in the country of Australia. They grow fruits and vegetables, or raise cattle and sheep. They basically don't spend much on a daily basis, and the money they save is actually no less than that of city dwellers.

But looking at the uncle desperately wiping his sweat, it seems that his little heart was greatly stimulated.

Although the land was purchased, it was probably far from what he expected.

"By the way, I've already negotiated with several Chinese agencies, but some stubborn bosses are still unwilling to let me put the properties online for free. These guys are still suspicious of this and that, thinking we have ulterior motives and saying there is no free lunch." On the way to the next piece of land, Chenxu reported what had happened during this period.

"It's human nature. It is indeed free now, but it won't be free in the future. These people are not stupid. When we become bigger, they will have to rely on website transactions." Chen Xi waved his hand nonchalantly.

He doesn't care about just a few small agents. Sooner or later, these people will join in. If they don't join, there will be no business. Let's see what they will do.

"It's difficult to negotiate with the foreigners! They don't even want to cooperate with big websites like Realestate, let alone us. I had a lot of trouble to negotiate with two small agencies, and it was Liya who helped me negotiate." Chen Xu said pitifully.

"Ha, my baby is amazing! I helped you negotiate with two companies right away. In return, do you want to invest in my wine business?"

"Go, go, go, go to the edge of death."

Ouyang Ming had just opened his mouth to say a few words when he was ruthlessly pushed away by Chen Xu.

Liya arrived earlier than them and was more familiar with foreigners. She also had good abilities and high emotional intelligence, so it was reasonable for her to successfully win over the two agencies.

"Then you can talk to Liya. It just so happens that she lives in your house. If she helps us, we can also help Ouyang Ming's red wine business!" "Yes, it's a good thing to reciprocate, haha."

"What are you talking about? I just heard Liya's name. You can't do this. She is your sister-in-law. Seducing your sister-in-law is a taboo in the underworld."

"Oh my god!"

Ouyang Ming, who was pushed away, quickly came back, but was kicked by Chen Xu in return.

"The auction of land No. VL011216 has started!" We soon arrived at the place and the host's voice rang out. This time the staff was suddenly replaced, but they were still two foreigners.

The person who presided over the auction of the first piece of land looked at the two men and left.

"This place was recommended by Max, right? Let's buy it!"

"Can you please keep your voice down?"

Ouyang Ming seemed a little excited, but facing the warnings from several people, he quickly covered his mouth. Fortunately, he was standing at the edge and no one heard it.

"It's not easy to shoot this time! There are delays, and the price is too high." Max reminded them that they bought it as an investment, not as a big spender. Although they will definitely make money, they still have to get a good deal to feel at ease.

Plot No. 2 is approximately 400 square meters and the reserve price is RMB 200,000.

"Twenty-one thousand!"

An old white man raised his hand and called the price first.

"Two hundred and twenty thousand!" Next came the uncle with glasses from Chen Xi's side.

"Two hundred and thirty thousand!" Another foreigner made a move.

As the shouting continued, the price suddenly rose to 330,000.

Chen Xi glanced at Zhong Lili, who had no intention of taking action at all, and was still chatting with Wen Ouren beside him.

"Three hundred and forty thousand!" Ouyang Ming's voice came to their ears, and everyone turned their heads to look at him.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!" As soon as he finished shouting, someone from the foreigner side made another bid.

"What the hell are you doing! The current price is beyond what Max offered." Chen Xu poked him on the back with his hand.

"I just want to experience it. This kind of thing is only seen in movies. Anyway, someone will shout." Ouyang Ming said aggrievedly.

"You're lucky. If no one called out, you would have bought it." Gouzi shook his head.

"Three hundred and seventy thousand!"

"Three hundred and eighty thousand!"

"These people are crazy." Ouyang Ming stared with wide eyes at the people who were raising the price.

"Only people are shouting over there. Look, is there anyone shouting over here?" Chen Xi looked around and smiled.

"If this is done carelessly and someone takes the photo, won't it be exposed the next time the land is sold?"

"Of course they have to hold it in their hands for a while! That has nothing to do with us. They are also in a hurry, so they will definitely not do anything too outrageous. They just want to make a fool of themselves on the foreign side."

"380,000 yuan deal!"

Finally, the land was bought by a white lady. She looked pretty good, so she must be someone who knows nothing about the business but has a lot of money.

The third plot of land was not much different from the previous one, and half of the bidders had already left because the transaction price today was too outrageous. Careful people had already discovered the trick and chose not to waste any more time.

"Two hundred and ninety thousand!"

"Three hundred thousand!"

As soon as Gou Zi finished shouting out the price, he was surpassed by someone else, but this was within his expectations.

"Three hundred and seventy thousand!" The uncle with glasses made a bid this time, and shouted out a price that surprised Chen Xi.

"Three hundred and eighty thousand!" The foreigner continued to raise the price. Chen Xi observed and found that it was only those three people who kept shouting, and they changed their positions every time.

"Three hundred and ninety thousand!" Zhong Lili finally couldn't help but take action.

This has already exceeded the bid for the previous piece of land. No one continued to raise the price for a while. Zhong Lili showed a hint of pride, raised her head and kept looking towards the foreigner, as if to say, "I have plenty of money."

"Four hundred thousand!" After a long time, a voice came from the other side, and it seemed that the choice was made after much consideration.

When the high price of four hundred thousand was announced, Zhong Lili did not choose to raise the price.

"Well, I'll give it to you! I have a lot of land, and seeing that you, a local, have finally got your own house, I won't compete with you for it."

This one sentence made the scene very awkward.

At this time, everyone looked at the person who made the offer. He was a young man in a shirt. He looked aggrieved and kept looking at the host.

"Hurry up and make the deal!" The man with glasses crossed his arms and laughed.

"Four hundred thousand for the first time... Four hundred thousand for the third time, deal." The host forced a smile and continued to wave the small hammer in his hand.

"Auntie, you are so awesome! You have trapped the opponent." Ouyang Ming gave Zhong Lili a thumbs up.

"Who is the aunt? Call me sister. You look handsome, but why are you so unsweet? Come to my place in the evening and I will teach you how to communicate with others."

"Forget it, I have something to do tonight."

Zhong Lili put her hands on her hips and looked at Ouyang Ming, who hid behind Chen Xu's fat body.

After Zhong Lili made such a fuss, the agents in the crowd immediately left, and the subsequent auction became much more normal. Because many people left, there was not much competition.

Gou Zi successfully bought a piece of land, but Ouyang Ming didn't have much money and was a little hesitant, so he didn't buy the land in the end.

Chen Xu played it safe, hoping to get a chance to pick up a bargain, but he failed. Fortunately, he was familiar with Max and had many opportunities to participate in auctions, so he didn't have to worry about anything.
