At the Standing Committee meeting, with a slim majority of seven to six, the decision to alter the nature of the Moon Lake Bay project land was vetoed, while Nie Zhenbang seized the opportunity to propose holding another public land auction once again. This time, Nie Zhenbang ratcheted up the auction deposit to a steep one hundred million.
With his understanding of Lin Zhengxing, Nie Zhenbang was quite certain. A person like Lin Zhengxing would absolutely refuse to spend this much money bidding on land. There was a matter of habit involved. When a person is accustomed to a life of luxury, and you suddenly try to make them subsist on the simplest fare, it would feel as if it were a death sentence. Similarly, having been accustomed to cheap land, Lin Zhengxing would now have to spend such a large amount of money for a piece of land. This would be even more unbearable than killing him.
