Chapter 810 Bidding For Land

In fact, if not for Florence creating so much trouble and even wanting to make use of Cheyenne, Lucas wouldnt have harbored such animosity toward the Howards.

No matter what, the Howards were indeed blood-related to Cheyenne.

If possible, he naturally hoped to be on good terms with the Howards.

This would not only be beneficial to Cheyenne but also give him more support when he went to DC in the future.

Florence had ruined Lucass impression of the Howards, but Pamelas appearance seemed to have spurred him to want to salvage the relationship between him and the Howards.

Lucas smiled and suddenly asked, “Whats your name”

Pamela was stunned, but she soon felt disappointed.

It turned out that… he didnt remember saving her a year ago.

She had introduced herself to him yesterday, but unfortunately, he still didnt seem to remember her.

“My name is Pamela Howard.

You have to remember my name this time!” Pamela perked up and smiled sweetly and delicately.

Its okay.

Its fine if hes forgotten about me.

We can make a fresh start.

I must make Lucas remember me and fall in love with me!

Lucas looked at Pamela a little strangely before nodding.

“Got it.”

A simple nod and answer from him immediately made Pamelas face bloom like a flower, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

This simple response was enough to show that Lucass attitude toward her and the Howards had mellowed down and that he would remember her name.

She believed that as long as she continued to work hard, she would definitely be able to build a good relationship with him.

While the two of them were having a brief exchange, Oscar recognized Pamela and pulled a long face.

He didnt expect the Howards to show up in California at this time and interact with Lucas.

Although the Howards and the Smiths were among the eight top families of DC, they didnt have a good relationship, and there were conflicts from time to time.

Oscar had come to California under the orders of the Smiths helmsman to find a way to deal with Lucas so that they could take control of California and Oregon.

The Howards might be after this too.

Seeing Pamela smiling beside Lucas, Oscar concluded that the Howards were tempting Lucas with a beauty.

He cursed them for being despicable.

Soon, it was ten oclock, and the auction officially began.

The auctioneer brought a huge sand table to the front of the auction stage and started the auction while explaining the location and size of every plot of land.

There were seven plots of land today, distributed across the urban and suburban areas of Orange County.

At the beginning, all the participants of the auction were still a little anxious, and from time to time, they turned to look at Lucas.

But after seeing Lucas not speaking during the auction of the first few plots of land, they sighed in relief and began bidding freely.

Land auctions were rare but excellent for the wealthy these days.

CO

As long as they could successfully win a good plot of land and develop it well, they would definitely rake in huge profits.

Of course, if the bids were too high, the profits would end up being too low, and they might even incur losses.

The numerous people present were almost all old and experienced businessmen.

So each round of bidding was very intense, and the final prices were basically within their expectations.

“Okay, next, were going to bid for the finale of this auction.

Its listing number is 2020-S-1031.

This plot of land is located on the west bank of the Sierra River, and its size is about 9,865 square meters.

The prices of the surrounding land are also rather high, so the starting bid for this land is thirty-five million dollars!

“Those interested in this land may begin bidding!”

The auctioneer was a middle-aged man in his fifties who was slightly rotund.

He was holding up the microphone and shouting.

“Thirty-five million dollars!” “Forty million!” “Forty-five million!”

“Fifty million!”

Almost as soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, countless people raised their bid cards and began to bid competitively.

The price soared.

Of course, although the price was getting higher and higher, the number of bidders gradually decreased.

After all, it wasnt easy to decide on something worth tens of millions.

“Eighty million!” Someone placed this bid.

Afterward, the other two people bidding against him fell silent and didnt continue placing higher bids.

Clearly, this price had really reached the maximum budget of many.

If the price exceeded this amount, their profit margin would be too low.

“Okay, the currency price is eighty million dollars! Is there any higher bid!” the auctioneer exclaimed excitedly.

“Eighty million dollars, going once!

“Eighty million dollars, going twice! “Eighty million dollars, going thrice—”

Just as the auctioneer was about to announce the bid for the third time to finalize the auction, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

“Eighty-one million dollars!”

Everyone immediately looked at the person bidding

The joy on the face of the middle-aged man who thought he had successfully won the auction immediately stiffened.

With anger all over his face, he was about to see who had suddenly foiled his plans, only to see that it was a young man.

“Uh… so, its Mr.

Gray bidding on this land.

Of course, Ill give up.

Haha!” The expression on this middle-aged mans face immediately turned from fury to delight as he stretched out a hand palm up toward Lucas and smiled.

Who was Lucas He was the new ruler of two states, and more than a hundred top families had pledged allegiance to him.

Who would dare to vie with him for land

The reason Lucas waited until this time to place his bid was not because he wanted to deliberately snatch it from someone else at the last moment but because he didnt want to ruin the auction price.

If he had started bidding when the price was only forty million dollars, no one would bid against him.

Winning the auction at a low price would be too overbearing of him, and this wasnt something Lucas wanted to see.

“Mr.

Gray, congratulations on acquiring this plot of land today for eighty-one million dollars!”

“Haha, this small plot of land is exactly opposite Haven Manor, which belongs to Mr.

Gray.

Since theyre adjacent, this land should rightfully belong to Mr.

Gray!”

“Thats right.

The most suitable owner of this land is Mr.

Gray!”

All of the surrounding wealthy and powerful people gave Lucas their well wishes and congratulations.

But suddenly, an extremely discordant voice rang out in the auction hall.

“Who said this land is his Im bidding one hundred and fifty million!”
