After exchanging a few pleasantries with Charles Yin, Mayor Frank sat down on Charles's other side and said in a low voice, "The province is paying close attention to the development of this project. If you, Mr. Yin, can secure it, then Summerville truly stands a chance to catch up with first-tier cities."
Charles Yin glanced meaningfully at Mr. Wayne on his other side, then said to Mayor Frank, "Since you have such confidence in me, I can't let you down. But I'm afraid someone else will be disappointed."
Mayor Frank gave Mr. Wayne a knowing look. As someone who plays the political game, he certainly wasn't unfamiliar with Mr. Wayne.
But since they're in opposing camps, he had no intention of greeting him. The hostility was obvious.
Charles Yin was quite satisfied with how tactful Mayor Frank was.
If Mayor Frank had greeted Mr. Wayne right after chatting with him...
Heh, his time as mayor would be over.
Back in the capital, Charles Yin and Mr. Wayne were already at odds. Mayor Frank definitely knew that.
Charles Yin is the economic backbone of Summerville. To put it bluntly, if he announced the bankruptcy of the Yin Consortium, Summerville would go bankrupt too.
So, there's no way Mayor Frank would risk offending Charles Yin for Mr. Wayne.
Mr. Wayne knew he wasn't welcome here, but he didn't seem to care at all.
Mr. Wayne's gaze lingered on Cecilia Gu for a moment, but he held back and said nothing.
Once everyone was inside, the auction officially began.
With the country investing two trillion US dollars, nerves were on edge. Even those who couldn't bid listened intently, afraid to miss any detail!
Charles Yin glanced at Mr. Wayne, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Competing with me in wealth?
Fine, I'll show you what real wealth looks like!
As soon as the auction began, Charles Yin wasted no time raising his paddle and announced a staggering amount: "The Yin Family will invest fifty trillion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gasped.
He casually offered fifty trillion!
