Chapter 177: The Last Laugh

In order to show fairness, the secret auction of the tender is in duplicate and the counterpart, and the stage and the stage correspond to the stage when the bid is opened, so as to show justice.

It can be said that Huarong has tried its best not to offend the bigwigs this time.

A random bid was drawn, and the auctioneer tore open the seal, glanced at it, and then smiled and said to the bigwigs sitting on the sidelines and the media reporters who were waiting.

"FAW Group, the bidding price is 1.32 billion! Next, I would like to invite the representative of FAW to stand up and announce the bottom bid price in his hand to all the friends on the scene to see if it is consistent!"

Soon, the eyes of the audience, including the camera, turned to the hands of the FAW on-site representatives.

Sure enough, it is also 1.32 billion, which is just symmetrical with the bottom price.

"Very good, FAW's bid of 1.32 billion yuan is valid, and it is now temporarily ranked first. ”

With a gavel, the auctioneer announced the birth of the first hidden bid.

Seeing that the representatives of the rest of the enterprises were not moving, the media reporters knew that FAW was afraid that they were coming to accompany the prince to study this time. The bid of 1.32 billion is too conservative, and in the context of multi-party competition, the odds of winning are not great.

The second bid that was drawn was Yutong bus, when he heard the auctioneer say the word Yutong, the boss Tang Yuxiang sighed in his heart, and a bad premonition appeared.

As the saying goes, good goods take advantage of the bottom of the water, and it is not a good thing to show the hole cards too early.

Such a secret auction progressive auction quickly accelerated the adrenaline secretion of everyone on the scene, just like the moment when the hole cards were finally unveiled after a large bet in the casino, the unknown excitement made everyone can't help but pay attention wholeheartedly.

"Yutong bus, the bidding price is 2.08 billion. Next, the representative of Yutong Bus is invited to stand up and show whether the copy bidding is consistent!"

With the auctioneer's words, the crowd of reporters on the scene burst into exclamations.

"Yutong Bus is much richer than FAW, and it soared by 700 million all of a sudden. Last year, Yutong's net profit was less than 200 million, I didn't expect to be able to take out so much money to gamble, it's really okay!"

A veteran journalist in the automotive industry lamented.

The assistant next to him stood up and made a copy of the reserve price of 2.08 billion public, proving that Yutong Bus's bid was effective.

With the success of Yutong's bid, the representatives of Dongfeng and SAIC showed a slightly helpless smile on their faces, and their bids were virtually out of the game under this number.

In the midst of anxiety, the third and fourth places were drawn by SAIC and Dongfeng, who bid 1.45 billion and 1.38 billion, and the offer for Hunan Torch was not too aggressive.

Tang Yuxiang felt the horror of rushing to the front, not knowing when sharp arrows would fly behind him and fall. Yutong Bus is like a striking target, waiting for a dark arrow from the auctioneer.

Fortunately, the two consecutive quotations did not exceed Yutong Bus, but Zhonghua Group has not appeared, which makes him always have a sense of crisis in his heart.

In this auction, the recognized seed player is the China Group, and no one dares to pack a ticket before it takes the stage.

At a time when everyone's mood is up and down, the fifth object of the public bid is Weichai Power.

"Alas - not the Chunghwa Group. ”

The assistant beside him muttered in a low voice, which was also related to Tang Yuxiang.

When Weichai Power announced that the offer was 2.18 billion, the audience once again burst into warm applause.

Although it surpassed Yutong Bus, but it was also an ally, Tang Yuxiang applauded Tan Daming, the boss of Weichai Power, to congratulate him.

"Finally, it has raised another 100 million, and this auction is really thrilling. I can see that my palms are sweaty, I don't know how the big guys sitting at the front desk are feeling?"

Seeing that Weichai Power came from behind, many audiences applauded, and the bidding price was constantly refreshing the bottom line in everyone's hearts.

The auction is like a gambling game, and no one knows who the winner will be until the last minute!

It is said that Tang Qianli was forced to be helpless at that time, and 800 million yuan was willing to shoot the Hunan torch. Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, it has more than doubled. If I had 800 million at that time, wouldn't I have made a net profit of 800 million now!"

A veteran reporter who is familiar with the inside story said with a look of regret.

"So, time, life. Now that the stock market is showing signs of bottoming out, Tang Qianli will probably not be able to sleep in prison. ”

After another colleague pointed the camera lens at Han Hao, he was ready to take a photo of the richest man's expression when he announced his bottom bid, and then said.

"There are still two bids that have not yet been announced, and seeing the calm posture of Mr. Lu and Mr. Han, I believe there will be greater surprises in the future. Let's take a look at the reserve price of the next bid.

The auctioneer spoke to bring the audience's attention back to the front desk and began to announce the penultimate bid.

"Zhonghua Group!"

When the auctioneer read out the owner of the bid, the audience immediately burst into loud applause, and everyone knew that the biggest potential winner of this auction was Zhonghua Group.

"The bid of the Chunghwa Group isβ€”"

Before announcing the answers, the auctioneer deliberately sold a pass to lengthen the pronunciation.

Lu Guanqiu of Wanxiang Group felt that his heart was beating very hard, he made a gesture of fighting against the odds this time, and he was cautious in his life, and he quoted a high price that he felt was outrageous.

"2.48 billion!"

The auction price has risen again, and it is a large amount of 300 million, which is really in line with Han Hao's identity as the richest man.

"Wow-"

The scene was first wowed, and then applauded and congratulated, such a high price basically announced the success of the bidding of Zhonghua Group.

Hearing such a high price, representatives of FAW, Dongfeng and SAIC shook their heads at each other, as if they couldn't believe such a high bid. This time it was really defeated, and the Zhonghua Group bid nearly 1 billion more than itself, which was really unable to compete.

The two CEOs of Yutong Bus and Weichai Power, who were full of confidence before coming, knew that they were completely out of the game after hearing this number, and their mental strength wilted for a while.

2 billion is already the limit of what they can bear, but they didn't expect that being rich can be capricious, and Han Hao's competition at any cost is really a trick that they can't reach.

Now, seeing that the fruits of victory are about to be taken away by the Zhonghua Group, the other competitors unanimously hope that the Wanxiang Group can stand up as a white horse knight and teach Han Hao a lesson.

"Ahh

After hearing this number, Lu Guanqiu, the boss of Wanxiang, looked up to the sky and sighed without saying a word.

Han Hao's assistant publicized a copy of the reserve price, which was indeed 2.48 billion, and the effective bid of Zhonghua Group temporarily ranked first.

Only Wanxiang Group has not yet announced the reserve price, but Lu Guanqiu has already stood up and made a congratulatory gesture in the direction of Han Hao, it seems that he has admitted defeat.

"Sure enoughβ€”as expected. ”

Seeing this scene, many people secretly said in their hearts that it was too easy for the China Group to win.

In order to ensure the openness and fairness of the auction, even though Wanxiang Group had already admitted defeat on the scene, the auctioneer still announced the bid of Wanxiang Group.

"Hey, this number looks like 2.5 billion, but if you look closely, it should be 2.45 billion, because a 4 was added in the middle temporarily. It seems that Mr. Lu filled in 2.5 billion at the beginning, but later changed it temporarily after consideration, which is a pity. Let's see what the price of Wanxiang Group's copy is?"

With the words of the auctioneer, many people on the scene knew about the changes that happened in the universal bidding.

Alas, just a little bit, Wanxiang was supposed to be the ultimate victor, but in the end the cooked duck flew away.

Wanxiang's staff announced the bottom bid of the copy, and sure enough, it was 2.45 billion, and the final winner of this auction was Zhonghua Group, and they won the bid by luck.

Unexpectedly, Wanxiang Group, which has always been conservative, turned out to be menacing this time, and almost quoted an ultra-high price of 2.5 billion.

In this way, the CEOs like Tang Yuxiang have deep respect for Lu Guanqiu, a veteran of the business community.

Shi Bei was impressed by Lu Guanqiu, who was angry at the crown, this veteran still proved that he was still a member of the domestic business community that could not be ignored.

It's a pity that a little luck was owed, which made Han Hao, a young man, have the last laugh.

Lu Guanqiu, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, felt that his blood pressure was rising rapidly after his defeat, and motioned to his son to bring blood pressure medicine to take. He worked hard to operate, but in the end it was in vain, and the dream of building a car left him again.

Originally, the negotiated bid was 2.2 billion, but after coming to the venue, Lu Guanqiu knew that the competition would be fierce today, so he planned to raise the offer by 10% again.

Lu Guanqiu, who has been cautious all his life, took out the courage to break the kettle and write a 2.5 billion offer, and after thinking about it for a while, he was cautious again, and changed 2.5 billion to 2.45 billion.

He speculated in his heart that the highest offer of Zhonghua Group was 2.4 billion, and it would be impossible to do more.

Therefore, after a cautious life, he once again followed his instinct when making the final decision, and was a little cautious, intending to save some costs for the company. Unexpectedly, he fell short and encountered the merciless ridicule of fate.

"The world will be the world of you young people. I hope this episode will not affect the cooperation between the two of us. Mr. Han, in the future, Wanxiang Group will be in charge of Shuaiyin by my son Ding Kai, although you are young, you are more senior than him, I hope you can take more care of him. ”

After the auction, Lu Guanqiu took the initiative to take his son Lu Dingkai to Han Hao to congratulate him, and passed on the news that he was about to retire.

After working all my life, now I can't keep up with the development of the times, and I don't forgive people when I'm old. This defeat is already a warning from God, telling him that he should abdicate and make way for Xian. While he can still do it, he pushed his son to a high position and helped him to give him a ride.

"Jiangmen Huzi, I hope to see Wanxiang Group under the agency of Mr. Xiaolu, to create new brilliance. As long as Wanxiang Group can maintain the current quality standards, it will always be the first choice of Zhonghua Group. Business is business, friendship is friendship, my friendship with Brother Lao Lu will not change, you are the leading brother in our Zhejiang businessmen. ”

Unexpectedly, Wanxiang Group made a ruthless move this time in order to enter vehicle manufacturing. If it weren't for the lack of luck, the Hunan torch would have to return to the universal system.

It seems that Lu Guanqiu really worked hard this time, but he didn't expect that he would stretch out this kick and beat him to retirement.

Therefore, Han Hao was also a little moved when he answered. As a domestic parts giant, Zhonghua Group has given priority to Wanxiang.

"Remember to inform me when you drink the wedding wine, and I will bring the whole family to congratulate you when the time comes. ”

Lu Guanqiu patted Han Hao's shoulder and left with his son in style.

Looking at Lu Guanqiu's slightly stumbling steps and distant figure, Han Hao seemed to have witnessed the departure of an old era.

"Dad, I don't think I'm ready, Wanxiang Group can't do without you. ”

After going out and getting into the car, the father and son were left.

Lu Dingkai plucked up his courage and said to Lu Guanqiu, a strong man who has always been omnipotent in his mind.

"My time has passed, and today is the best way to reflect it. You don't see Han Hao, who is 4 years younger than you, and is now one of the leaders of China's private enterprise. You've been with me for so many years, and I know what you're capable of.

From now on, I will take care of my grandchildren at home, grow flowers and grass, and live for the rest of my life. Ding Kai, Dad is old, and it is impossible to escort you for the rest of his life. When I was your age, I dared to gamble all my belongings and ask to contract the factory in the village. It's a pity that today I lacked a little bit of the courage I had back then, and I couldn't make the right bet.

But none of this matters, because my greatest achievement is not the creation of Wanxiang, but the creation of a good son like you.

Everyone has endless potential, and if you don't push yourself, you'll never know how far you can go.

Eager to win and never admit defeat, this is the genetic inheritance flowing in the blood of our Lu family. I believe that you will not let me down in the future!"

Since he decided to hand over the shift, let his son go and do a big job, Lu Guanqiu's words made Lu Dingkai full of strength.

"Dad, don't worry, I won't disappoint your expectations. Stand up wherever you fall, I will definitely complete your dream of building a car, and let Wanxiang cars run on the roads of the world!"

Since there is no way out, Lu Dingkai can only take his father's gun and continue to carry on the great war of Wanxiang car-building.

With 2.48 billion yuan, it has entered the industrial chain of heavy trucks, especially in the core components to form an advantageous situation shared with buses, Zhonghua Group has achieved a breakthrough in commercial vehicles in just half a year, and has become the third largest giant after FAW and Dongfeng in one fell swoop.

As the stakeholders of Hunan Torch, whether it is employees, minority shareholders or local governments, they are extremely concerned about this auction.

Since it is a sale, you have to find a good mother-in-law. It's a pity that they can't help themselves and can't control their own destiny.

Among so many in-laws, Natural China Group is the most suitable.

First, the group has strong strength and rapid development. Second, the plates are complementary, and after the Hunan torch is merged, it will become the backbone pillar, rather than chicken ribs.

When the auction results were transmitted to the major companies under Hunan Torch, the vast majority of people were elated, and it was better to marry into a wealthy family like Zhonghua Group than to be a concubine in FAW.

Whether it is Hunan Torch, or the local government where Shaanxi Automobile and Hongyan Heavy Truck, which are controlled by it, have expressed a warm welcome to Zhonghua Group.

They hope that in addition to heavy trucks, Zhonghua Group can also cooperate more with the local government on other businesses.

"At least 3 up-limit boards!"

The shareholders who were originally trapped looked at the Hunan Torch stocks that had been suspended, ushered in major good news, and said with great confidence.

Indeed, at this time, China's stock market has reached the point where it cannot be changed.

A vigorous reform soon kicked off, and Han Hao's paper wealth finally ushered in the moment of realization.
