The Strongest Tycoon

The Zheng Family and Li Family weren't the only major families that came to Auction Association. There were also many people that Lin Fan didn't know. Although Hee Jun had introduced them to them, Lin Fan didn't have much interaction with them, so he didn't take them to heart.    

    

"These guys are pretty well-informed. I just went to check on them and found out that they are all here for this island. We are in a bit of trouble now..." Lee Xiaokang walked back and sighed.    

    

He did not expect so many powerful competitors to appear today. It was one thing for those wealthy companies to have so many competitors, but Lee Xiaokang did not see them as a threat.    

    

However, the representatives of these big families were different. With so many people participating in the auction, one could imagine that the auction tonight would definitely be a life and death battle.    

    

"How much money can the two of you take out? We have to think about it."    

    

After returning to his residence on the cruise, Lin Fan asked the two of them.    

    

Before attending the auction, there had to be a plan. Now that it was a three-person business deal, how much each person could take out under their own hands? The bottom line of the auction had to be discussed in advance.    

    

Lee Xiaokang immediately said, "Mr Jun and I can each offer 20 billion. This is our personal assets and it has nothing to do with our family."    

    

The two of them actually did not have that much money. They used their properties as collateral to borrow money from other places.    

    

The reason Lee Xiaokang emphasized that it was personal property was also because he was worried that Lin Fan would withdraw from this collaboration because he felt that it had too much to do with the two families.    

    

Hee Jun was still alright. He was the only child in the family and did not have so many complicated matters.    

    

However, the Namyang Li Family that Lee Xiaokang was in was different. There were many disciples in the family, and there were more than a dozen successors. If he used the family's assets to invest, there would definitely be a lot of trouble when he split the profits and development in the future.    

    

Lin Fan calculated his assets in his mind. Ever since he took control of his wealth, he had spent a lot of money and made a lot of money. Now, apart from the fixed assets under his name, he could only use the cash flow in his bank account.    

    

He also had to leave some to use as operating funds, so the total amount he could use now was 45 billion.    

    

Lin Fan said, "I have 45 billion yuan to use, but I can't take all of it out. I need to leave 5 billion yuan as the initial start-up funds for the island's development after buying it."    

    

In fact, if he could really buy it, the five billion funds Lin Fan left behind were not enough. Such a large island, five billion could not be used as start-up funds at all.    

    

Lee Xiaokang and Hee Jun were not completely unprepared. "Don't worry, Mr Lin. The two of us also left a total of five billion. Together, we have ten billion in funds. It is barely enough to be used as start-up funds."    

    

Lin Fan had 40 billion. Adding Lee Xiaokang and Hee Jun's 20 billion each, a total of 80 billion seemed like a lot, but it was actually not enough.    

    

Such a large island, although it was abandoned and undeveloped, this was the selling point. An island with its original ecosystem was the most valuable.    

    

"80 billion is still too little. Looking at the situation today, it will be quite difficult for the three of us to take it down." Lin Fan shook his head.    

    

He felt that this matter was probably a bit of a mystery. The three of them wanted to use their own personal assets to compete with those who used the entire family's funds. Just thinking about it made them lose all hope.    

    

Lee Xiaokang said, "This money seems to be a little low, but we can only take out this much now. We won't be able to find any other funds in a short period of time."    

    

"Then how much is the reasonable valuation of this island?"    

    

Hee Jun replied, "Our consultant calculated that because this island is undeveloped, there is not even a pier. Not to mention the other basic facilities on the island, there is none at all. Therefore, the price of every acre of land is definitely not as high as the gold area in the city."    

    

Lin Fan nodded. Speaking of the most expensive land price, the gold positions of the several first-tier cities in the country were the highest. If they invested 80 billion, they would not even be able to make a splash.    

    

"But this island doesn't have some. The first thing is that the location is not bad. It's only 20 kilometers away from the Haizhou. Whether it's using boats as transportation or developing intersea roads in the later stages, it's convenient."    

    

"The second is the environment. This is also the biggest selling point. I've seen the pictures of the sailing videos. There are mountains and rivers on the island, as well as forests and vegetation. There are also a few lakes on the island. All year round, the temperature on the Four Seasons Island has been maintained at an average of 26 degrees. Overall, it's very suitable for habitation. "    

    

"Therefore, the price cannot be as low as a real deserted island. Based on a comprehensive estimate, about 60 to 1 million per acre is considered a relatively normal price."    

    

After listening to Hee Jun's narration, Lin Fan estimated in his heart that the total area of this island was about 10,000 square kilometers. According to this estimate, the total price was about 600 to 80 billion, which was a reasonable price.    

    

If it exceeded 80 billion, it could not be said that it was not worth it. After all, land was priceless, but the profit margin in the future would be extended.    

    

The three of them had 80 billion in their hands, which was just enough to reach the highest valuation standard, but this didn't mean that Lin Fan and the others were confident.    

    

Many large families were extremely obsessed with owning land. In order to obtain a piece of land, they rarely calculated the gains and losses based on the gains and losses.    

    

Therefore, the island that was being auctioned this time might very well exceed their estimations.    

    

"I think that this bit of money is really not very safe. If the two of you agree, we can find another partner." Lin Fan said his opinion to the two of them.    

    

"Find another partner? Although we know a lot of people who came today, we don't know each other very well. It's such a big project cooperation, it's hard for us not to feel relieved if we don't work with our own people."    

    

Lee Xiaokang voiced his worries. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about finding a few more people, but those who had a good relationship with him weren't in Haizhou right now. He wouldn't be able to explain this matter to anyone in a short period of time.    

    

He couldn't just ask someone to fork out money to cooperate with him. Only Lin Fan could come up with a plan to cooperate with him.    

    

And now, the people on the cruise weren't qualified to participate in the venture with the assets they were familiar with, and their relationship with Lin Fan wasn't good enough. They couldn't be considered to be working on such a large investment project together.    

    

Lin Fan smiled. "Who said there are no acquaintances? You don't have them, but I do."    

    

"Who?"    

    

"Zheng Yiloong from the Zheng Family of the Eastern Province. I just came to see him. I have some dealings with him. I can go and ask him what's going on over there. If possible, count him in. "    

    

"He's from the Zheng Family, the family that is known as the Half Province of Zheng? He is indeed qualified. I wonder if he is here for this island? "    

    

"Won't you know if you ask him? Since Mr Lin is familiar with him, we just need to let him know. "
