Land auctions are normal: bidding, auctioning, and listing are three procedures that should occur.
However, the specific plot of land outside Luohua Manor in Zhengyang City was intended to be publicly announced first, then auctioned, and then announced again after the auction. Strictly speaking, this is an auction system, but Zhengyang also refers to it as the bidding and auction process.
Handling this plot of land in this manner is somewhat inappropriate because... it was initiated by Yang Yuxin.
It's not to say that because she initiated it, it should belong to her without going through the bidding and auction procedures. However, she intended to develop an industrial park.
Such situations normally involve bidding and auctioning as a process, adhering to policy and procedural correctness, but, effectively, it's just a formality.
But it was reported by Zhengyang Daily, Funiu Daily, and all the citizens of Funiu knew about it.
