Chapter 864: Take the Boni Islands
Betty was lost in thought.
Now that Austin, the master, has come forward to defend herself, she can't ask any more questions, otherwise she won't give Austin face.
And on Austin's turf, it would be extremely stupid not to give him face as a master.
After some thought, Betty could only sit down stupidly, but those beautiful eyes stared at Jiang Bo like cold arrows, if her eyes could kill, she would definitely pierce Jiang Bo's heart with ten thousand arrows.
When she came to Sydney this time, her main goal was to photograph Pineapple Island, which was also something her father ordered, and it didn't matter if Necker Island could be photographed before.
But now that the bidding on Pineapple Island has been messed up, she simply hates Jiang Bo to death.
Seeing this, Jiang Bo felt regretful, and secretly complained: "It's all like this, don't you come to the system to let me loosen her muscles and bones, it's not powerful at all......"
The auction continues.
Jocelyn's eyes looked at Jiang Bo at this moment with a sparkling light, although he robbed Pineapple Island and embarrassed Betty, but Jocelyn couldn't be angry with him, and in turn felt that he was very manly.
And, Jocelyn thinks he looks confident and has the chance to win, and he must be able to afford to pay $1.5 billion.
In this way, he should really be a very rich man, so isn't it very right with his own family?
For a moment, Jocelyn seemed to smell the smell of perfect love in fairy tales.
On the stage, the auctioneer said: "Next, the last island of this auction will be auctioned, no, it cannot be said that it is an island, because it is composed of two large islands and seven small islands.
It is the island of Boni from the southern part of the Pacific Ocean, or it can be called the Boni Islands, which is also the territory of the country of Bonny.
It has a land area of 2,934 square kilometers, an exclusive marine economic zone of 120,000 square kilometers, and most of the territory is covered by jungle, with a tropical rainforest climate, and a population of 200,000. ”
Although everyone here knew that this auction was going to auction an island country, most of them were still surprised and unbelievable after hearing the auctioneer say that it was actually Boni Kingdom.
"It's actually the ...... of the Boni Islands"
"What is Austin doing here, even a country dares to put it up for auction, is he crazy?"
"No, no, no, Austin is a smart man, and he can't be crazy when everyone in the world is crazy, and as far as I know, he should be the biggest creditor in Bonney. ”
"Hey, Austin, this bad old man, he started digging holes for Bonnie more than ten years ago, and now he finally has a harvest?"
"God, he is willing to take out the Boni Islands for auction, if it were me, I would definitely treat it as a back garden, and then I will be the leader to manage hundreds of thousands of people on it, I can do whatever I want, isn't it better?"
"That's the difference between you and Austin, the Bonney Islands are a hot potato, and the money you get when you sell it is real disposable wealth. ”
"However, the area of the country is too big, with a land area of nearly 3,000 square kilometers and a sea area of 120,000 square kilometers, how much does it cost?"
"It's a little bit off, but at least it's worth tens of billions of dollars, right?"
"Tsk, tens of billions of dollars, who has so much money to buy the Bonney Islands, although it is tempting, but it is not a good investment. ”
"Is it a cost-effective question? No, not at all, but I don't have that much money at all, tens of billions of dollars......
The billionaires who participated in the island auction were basically worth more than $100 million.
There are also many people with a net worth of more than $1 billion.
However, when it comes to those with a net worth of more than $10 billion, there are not many.
The auctioneer shouted: "The official organization of the country of Boni declared bankruptcy in July because it was unable to repay the debts of ANZ Bank.
The assets in his name, the Bonney Islands I mentioned above, were taken over by ANZ and acquired full title.
Now, we have been commissioned by ANZ to auction off the entire property rights in the Bonney Islands. Again, it includes 2,934 square kilometers of land area and 120,000 square kilometers of maritime exclusive economic area, as well as all public facilities within its borders.
The starting price is $12 billion, and each increase must not be less than $100 million, now, start bidding!"
The starting price of $12 billion discouraged ninety percent of the people present.
It's too expensive to afford.
Moreover, they can't play with this kind of large-scale island.
If it is not a rich person with a particularly large power or a very special personal situation, he will not dare to hold it at all.
Jocelyn exhaled the heat lightly and said in Jiang Bo's ear: "Wow, Bonney Islands, 12 billion US dollars, so expensive, so expensive......"
As she spoke, Jocelyn smiled and asked, "By the way, Jiang, you have already photographed two islands in front of you, so you shouldn't be interested in the Boni Islands, right?"
Jiang Bo smiled noncommittally and did not directly answer Qiao Celin's words.
When some wealthy people at the scene were still hesitating, he took the lead in holding up the sign in his hand and shouted: "20 billion US dollars!"
It's not nonsense, and it directly pulls the price to the flow line.
"No, you're really interested in it, and you're bidding $20 billion......" Jocelyn's eyes flashed with consternation, she couldn't understand Jiang Bo now.
Betty was also stunned, obviously not expecting Jiang Bo to be so rigid, and he also sold the price to $20 billion.
If he does take the Bonney Islands, plus the two islands just now, he will have to pay a full $21.8 billion.
With so much money, it is already equivalent to half of the Simmons family's assets, can he really take it out?
In Betty's impression, the richest people on the Huaxia rich list, even if they are the richest people, can't easily take out so much money, right?
So, who the hell is this guy?
"$20.1 billion!"
Jiang Bo's bid discouraged ninety percent of the people present, but there was a wealthy businessman from Europe who wanted to compete.
Jiang Bo smiled and made an offer: "$21 billion." ”
When the wealthy European businessman heard this offer, he shook his head, and retreated from the idea that he would no longer compete with Jiang Bo.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang from Huaxia bid $21 billion, is there anyone who offers a higher price than this?" The auctioneer shouted: "$21 billion once, $21 billion twice, $21 billion three times, sold!"
Congratulations to Mr. Jiang on winning the Boni Islands, congratulations!"
Jocelyn's eyes lit up, and she asked softly: "Jiang, I just helped you calculate, the three islands, you have to spend a total of 22.801 billion US dollars to shoot it, you, do you have so much money? Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious, I want to ask." ”
Jiang Bo smiled, the corners of his mouth curled, and quipped: "You may not believe it, I originally prepared 30 billion US dollars this time, but I have only spent 22.8 billion yuan so far...... The friends who came to the auction this time were not very good.
You say yes, Miss Betty?"
Jocelyn: "......"
Betty: "???"
What did I hear? Do you dare to repeat what you just said?
Betty wanted to scold Jiang Bo for pretending, but in the end she held back.
"Oh my God, you've got $30 billion, that's a lot of money...... Who the hell are you, can you tell me who you are, I'm too curious. Qiao Celin suddenly reached out and hugged Jiang Bo's arm, asking expectantly.
