Chapter 475: Chapter 477 Auction


    The market share was colossal enough to prove the terrifying nature of Qian Du Company.


    In its heyday, Qian Du Company once held over ninety percent of the search engine market.


    There are about eight hundred million Internet users in Xuan Country now, which is quite formidable.


    The internet had effectively become humanity’s second world.


    And the internet was also influencing reality, much like the last public opinion battle—if Qin Hao hadn’t launched a powerful counterattack.


    Then he and his company might have been completely ruined. Such was the terror of the internet now.


    ...


    Since Qian Du Company controlled the gateway for netizens, if it decided to block all information about Jiangshan Group, Xinghui Wine, and Qin Hao.


    Then Jiangshan Group, Xinghui Wine, and Qin Hao would thoroughly vanish from the internet.


    Even if people searched, they would find no results whatsoever.


    Qian Du Company had done such things in the past, and it wasn’t long before those companies completely collapsed.


    It was akin to an artist being blacklisted.


    However, Qian Du Company generally refrained from doing this since it also entailed a certain loss for the company.


    Qin Hao was not very worried, as his company was a brick-and-mortar business, not an internet company.


    Even if it were blocked by Qian Du Company from rising up, it wouldn’t affect his business in the real world too much.


    But information about the company, introductions, explanations, and website links, etc. would disappear from Qian Du searches, which would have a certain impact.


    After the clothing factory and spinning mill auctions ended, the auction was not over yet,


    There were still two plots of land under Ruixing Group that were more significant than the previous ones; they were the main targets of so many people present.


    These two plots of land were not within Jianghai’s fifth ring road, but outside of it.


    That area was the next focus of government development, rumored to become a new high-tech zone.


    Therefore, the prices of these lands soared extremely high, with many high-tech companies already starting to select sites for new research bases.


    “The first plot covers more than three hundred acres, with a starting bid of two hundred million. This price is based on the original purchasing price of Ruixing Group.”


    The current valuation of this land exceeded twenty billion, with a location even better than that of Xinghai High-tech Company.


    Qin Hao had spent nearly twenty billion on that land initially.


    Once the auctioneer announced the start, many people joined in the bidding.


    The price climbed higher and higher. Li Fengyu also kept bidding; Li Qiandu came here for one of the plots.


    He planned to build an artificial intelligence research base in Jianghai City. Though the investment had been secured, only the land was missing.


    Raise cattle?


    Out of money?


    My dad had just secured investment worth several tens of billions of Federation dollars, would we be out of money?


    Qin Hao was clearly counterattacking; Li Fengyu had disrupted his plans, and there was no way Qin Hao was going to let that go.


    Li Fengyu turned to look at his father. Mr. Li’s expression wasn’t great, even Huatian Real Estate Group had given him face.


    Yet this newcomer was showing him none whatsoever.


    Li Fengyu said disdainfully, “Twenty-three billion, keep going if you dare.”


    Qin Hao: “Twenty-five billion.”


    Everyone’s spirits lifted as it seemed the two parties were gearing up for a clash—holy smokes, this was getting exciting!


    “Thirty billion,” Mr. Li suddenly said.


    He and Qian Du Company had been silent for too long, to the point where many had forgotten about him, forgotten about the former internet colossus, forgotten about the records broken on the day Qian Du Company went public.


    Starting today, Qian Du Company would rise again, waiting for when artificial intelligence technology was fully developed.


    Once it was, Qian Du Company’s market value would skyrocket, surpassing Longteng and Amao Net Shopping to become Xuan Country’s number one internet behemoth once more, and perhaps even an international internet titan.


    People’s mouths fell open as they looked at Mr. Li—holy cow, he had just added five billion in one go.


    It was said that Mr. Li valued his reputation and was extremely competitive; the rumors clearly weren’t unfounded.


    Qin Hao grinned slightly, “Congratulations to Mr. Li for securing this piece of land; I’ll leave this cattle farm to you.”


    Li Fengyu’s expression changed, “Are you kidding me?”


    Mr. Li: “Sit down.”


    Qin Hao: “Mr. Li, you should really discipline your son better. With that quality, that demeanor, that appearance, why let him out at all? It’d be better to keep him tied up at home with a rope.”


    Mr. Li’s face turned ashen as he looked at Qin Hao. Qin Hao had just insulted his son as a dog in front of everyone—what did that make Mr. Li himself?


    “Everyone, please be quiet; this is an auction hall,” Zhu Huasheng walked out at the right time to intervene.


    Mr. Li glanced fiercely at Qin Hao but said nothing else.


    The second plot of land began the auctioning process again; this time, it was taken by Huatian Real Estate Group for twenty-one billion.
