Wayne was stunned by his friend Stephen Ann's question, but when he saw the greed, hope, and excitement in his friend's eyes, he nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Think.

He thought so much.

Since the departure of Stephen Jobs, the company has gone hell to the worse, and has been suppressed by Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and IBM, and its market share has become less and less, and its stock price has continued to hit new lows.

If this continues, Wayne doesn't know how long the company's poor situation and financial situation will last.

And if you can get to know a giant like Shen Jiannan and ask some questions, then this problem may be greatly alleviated.

Sink.

That's an international financial predator, and if he is willing to help Apple, or, if he can give some advice, it is likely to have an immeasurable impact on Apple's stock price.

But now the bidding is so fierce, in the end, whoever can eat with Shen is afraid that it will be auctioned at a very terrifying sky-high price.

No one is a fool.

The man who broke the Bank of England.

This kind of god-like man, who of these scumbags present would not have thought of what kind of benefits would come from eating with him.

"Ann, we can work together. ”

In a flash of thought, Wayne directly stated Ann's intentions.

This guy works on Wall Street, and he knows better what kind of encounter he will get from having a meal with Shen Jiannan.

Wayne's answer made Stephen Ann breathe a sigh of relief and smile, getting a partner is not just the same as getting a partner, it means eliminating a competitor.

"That's what I want, but I think we need more friends together. ”

You can bring up to six friends at a time.

It was clear that Stephen Ann had noticed a loophole in the rules of the dinner.

He said with a blazing eye.

Wayne is not a fool either, and naturally thought of this question as well.

The two quickly came to an agreement, began to talk to their friends, and even took out their phones and quietly sought out their friends to talk about this huge opportunity.

"Five hundred thousand dollars! I, Tenlamp, bid five hundred thousand dollars. ”

A loud sound captured the attention of everyone in the audience.

It's a blonde man.

With a standard Western face, blond hair, and a burly body, he looks very muscular, but he looks a little happy in a blue suit and red tie.

Su Zhede Tenglanpu.

His father was a well-known newspaper tycoon in New York, and he himself was also a well-known real estate tycoon in Queens and even New York.

However, this is already a thing of the past.

Affected by the Cold War and the oil crisis, real estate prices in the United States hit the worst situation since the Great Depression, housing prices fell one after another, and many people were confiscated by banks and became homeless.

And the bank took out these houses and auctioned them at a low price.

Coupled with the arms race between the government and the Soviet Union, the economy continued to be sluggish, and the real estate market performed even worse than the stock market.

In order to survive in the quagmire of the economy, Tenglamp had to look for new investment projects to achieve the structural adjustment of the industrial chain.

In 1966, the Plaza Hotel was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmark Preservation Commission and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1985, the finance ministers and central bank governors of the five industrially developed countries, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and the Federal Republic of Germany, secretly met at the Plaza Hotel and signed the famous "Plaza Accord" to jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market and reduce the value of the US dollar against the currencies of several other countries.

This meeting shook the reputation of the already famous Plaza Hotel again.

This gave Ten Lamp an opportunity to transform and survive.

He bought the Plaza Hotel for more than $400 million, and published a full-page open letter in The New York Times commenting on the acquisition: "I'm not just buying a building, I'm actually buying a work of art——— like a 'Mona Lisa.'" For the first time in my life, I deliberately did not make this deal on economic grounds——— because I could not prove whether the price was justified or not. ”

It may be because it deliberately does not buy and sell according to economic principles, so unfortunately, Tenglamp's investment failed miserably.

At the beginning of the year, the hotel had to file for bankruptcy due to a dismal business and Tenglamp lost half of his shares.

There is a saying that when a person is unlucky, he may choke on his throat when he drinks water.

Three years ago, in order to open up a new industrial chain, Tenglamp founded the "Tenglamp Road Cycling Race", intending to catch up with the Tour de France, the Tour of Italy and other events.

But it may be that God did not care for him, and after two years he declared failure.

At the same time, he invested hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire the charter business of American Airlines.

But this investment did not pay off as expected, as people were financially affected and traveled significantly less frequently.

The charter business of airlines does not make any money at all.

As a real estate developer, it is inevitable that you have a good relationship with the bank.

In an effort to save the company from financial difficulties, two years ago, Ten Lamp asked several banks that he had worked with for many years to bail him out with $65 million in the form of new loans and credit.

But it turned out to be a dog.

This funding failed.

It was this huge failure that has led to Tenglamp now saddled with nearly $4 billion in debt.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.

When people are unlucky, there are always waves.

Not long ago, Tenglamp's Atlanta, New Jersey casino, Taj Mahal, was also sentenced to bankruptcy.

Banks are not charities, but capital-making institutions.

Therefore, when considering operational risks, banks always ask for umbrellas to be borrowed from the sky and collected on rainy days.

The financial deterioration of the Tenlamp Group has continued to deteriorate, and the major banks have felt a huge crisis, so they jointly issued a ban on high consumption on him not long ago - the maximum consumption of lunch should not exceed ten US dollars.

"Hi. Big Golden Retriever, you don't eat your burger, run here to join in the fun. ”

As Tenglampu's voice landed, a guy who looked like a rich second generation with a beautiful lady in his arms shouted at him.

New York says it's big, but it's also small.

In particular, people who can come to such an occasion, even if they don't know each other, who has never heard someone's name.

At this shout, many people couldn't help laughing, and some people didn't think it was a big deal, so they joined in the fun.

"Fortes. You're just so stupid. If you've been eating hamburgers for a few years, don't you want to find a place to eat something good? ”

"Cuarón. You're stupid, but I have to admit that you seem to have some truth in what you're saying. ”

"Haha-"

The wild laughter and unbridled ridicule were like loud slaps in the face of Tenglamp, and he clenched his fists fiercely, his whole body trembled with anger, and his body felt a little cold.

If it was ten years ago, these guys would not dare to laugh at themselves if they saw themselves and borrowed a hundred of their guts.

But now, he has become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.

Damn bankers.

Sucking my blood, drawing nourishment from my blood, but beating me to hell when I was most helpless, and laughing at my incompetence.

These damn bastards and vampires.

Clenched into fists, Tenlamp glared fiercely, looking at those who were laughing at him.

He swore in his heart.

I will definitely get through this difficulty, and if I have money in the future, I will definitely become president and beat these damn bastards in the ass.

But they all knelt before themselves and kissed their shoes.

That's for later, though.

Gradually calming down the anger in his heart, Tenglamp glanced towards the most honorable position in the hall, his heart gradually became excited, his blood began to flow faster, and his whole body began to slowly regain heat.

The man who broke the Bank of England.

Being able to eat with such a big person can be of great help to the company's finances.

Think about it, in the global financial world, I don't know how many people worship this god-like man very much.

If you can ask him to leave a signature.

Frame it with this signature and leave it in your own hotel for a group photo, and it will bring many worshippers like believers to come and consume.

No matter how bad it is, ask about the financing problem, or even pull an investment.

Value.

Absolute value.

Simply great value for money.

Tenglamp is a shrewd businessman, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that his plan works.

People like Shen Jiannan are simply mobile central banks, no, they are simply mobile robbers, specializing in robbing central banks.

But at the same time, he is also the God of Wealth.

If he can get his favor, the group may be saved.

On the other hand, Wayne and Stephen contacted four friends to prepare to bid together. But when he heard Tenglamp's bidding, he immediately scolded his mother.

Emaciated camels are bigger than horses.

Although the Tenglampu Group is about to go bankrupt, it has even frozen many assets by the court and the bank.

However, this does not mean that Tenglamp has no money personally.

After all, it is the largest real estate businessman in New York, and it is no exaggeration to say that even if the Tenglamp Group is really bankrupt, Tenglamp can easily crush a new small company like Apple if he sits down personally.

What to do?

Rowe Wayne and Stephen Ann and other friends looked at each other.

Soon, several people reached an agreement.

Let's take on this guy first, and if it really doesn't work, I'll think of another way.

"Half a million dollars for the first time, is there anything higher than that?"

"An inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time. ”

"Time is the most priceless thing. ”

"If the winning bidder wins, he will be able to dine with Mr. Shen Jiannan for three hours. ”

Slut!

This damn bitch.

The guests who were about to bid around greeted her one by one when they heard the atmosphere of Lian on the stage.

I've seen shameless women, but I've never seen such a bad and shameless woman.

The time I grabbed the auction, shouted fast, I lost the ability to compete, and I raised the price frantically.

It's disgusting.

"Half a million dollars twice. ”

"Fortes. The big golden retriever wants to take a picture of this dinner, do you think we should help him?"

Just as Lynn shouted a second time, the two young men who had taunted Tenglamp before got together and laughed together.

The heir of the Forts family, he is also one of the American real estate developers.

In the early years, he and Tenglamp competed in many fields, but because of a little relationship with the Morgan family, he was lucky to avoid the possibility of bankruptcy.

Now, the opponent is declining, and if you don't step on it, how to say the past.

"That's a wonderful note. ”

"Five hundred and fifty thousand dollars. ”

Picking up the sign and shouting, Fortes glanced defiantly at Ten Lamp.

FUCK！

Tenglamp cursed angrily.

He doesn't care about Apple's kind of worthless guy at all.

But Fortes can't, as a competitor, he is well aware of the strength of the Fortis family now.

And now, Forts made it clear that he was against him, and the purpose, he guessed, was to humiliate him in front of everyone.

Damn mongrel.

Damn bankers.

You are not sons of man.

Don't let Lao Tzu become president in the future, or I'll see how I kill you.

swore a poisonous oath in his heart.

"Five hundred and twenty thousand dollars. ”

Staring at his huge eyes, Tenglamp angrily raised the sign in his hand.

Sure enough, Fortes clearly set his eyes on Ten Lamp, and as soon as he raised his card, Fortes immediately raised the sign in his hand.

"Five hundred and thirty thousand dollars. ”

"Five hundred and forty thousand dollars. ”

“......”

"Six hundred thousand dollars. ”

“......”

Like two red-eyed roosters, Tenglamp and Forts competed for the price one after another, and everyone else subconsciously chose to wait and see, staring at the two Hanhan blankly.

Or, because the two of them were bidding too fiercely, they were completely red-eyed, and the others had no time to intervene.

This is no longer a legitimate auction.

Buffett frowned slightly and glanced at Soros.

As one of the initiators of the Democratic Party's canvassing for Clinton, he did not want to see such a big hurtful thing happen.

Soros glanced at Shen Jiannan silently and shook his head imperceptibly.

Compared to Shen Jiannan, a terrifying crocodile of the prehistoric giant beast, other small shrimp and millet are not worth mentioning at all.

As for Shen Jiannan, he felt strange in his heart.

What's so ......

A small auction, how can some cows, ghosts, snakes, gods, loaches and yellow eels all jump out.

But on the contrary, everything is reasonable.

New York is the financial center of the United States, and it is one of the positions that assist the Democratic Party.

As a hub for financial and tech companies, it's strange that these guys don't gather here.

Speaking of which, in fact, it is just one sentence.

There are no thousand-year-old dynasties, but there are thousand-year-old families.

With the two giants of Rockefeller and Morgan facing each other, these camps will naturally concentrate on a central point.

"$800,000!"

"Eight hundred and eighty thousand dollars. ”

“......”

Bell Bell Bell –

Suddenly, the mobile phone that Tenglamp was carrying rang.

The rhythm of the auction room was interrupted by a crisp ringtone, and he glared at Fortes with red eyes, and finally answered the phone and walked outside the crowd.

"Mr. Tenlamp, I'm Ro Wayne, Apple's Ro Wayne. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Do you want to win this auction?"

"No one knows auction better than I do. ”
