In the evening, Ang Lee wore a proper suit and took Wang Jingchu's hand to the auction hall of the Hilton Hotel.

Ang Lee, the handsome man and the beautiful woman, became the focus of the field in an instant, a pair of golden boys and girls.

The two of them held hands and handed the invitation in their hands to the waiter.

The waiter took the invitation, bowed and made a gesture of invitation and said: Hello, two people from the Ann Group, please come with me.

The waiter pushed open the door and led Ang Lee to a luxurious venue, just like the auctions Ang Lee had seen before, there was nothing new.

The two of them achieved a front position, and after sitting down, Li An naturally pulled out the arm in Wang Jingchu's arms and said with a smile: Today's venue is really magnificent!

Wang Jingchu looked at Li An with a resentful expression and said: Am I not worthy of you? Why are you in such a hurry.

Li An smiled and said: What do you drink, I'll call you.

Wang Jingchu glanced at Li An and ignored him.

Li An had no choice but to turn around and look at the podium.

After more than ten minutes, the surrounding people finished sitting one after another, and there were many reporters around, and some of them even gave a close-up after seeing Li An.

Seeing this situation, Li An could only smile helplessly.

After a while, the lights of the venue gradually dimmed, and an old man with white hair came up on the podium, who took the microphone with a simple smile and said to everyone present: Thank you very much for coming, my name is Peter, I am the president of Ford in China, I am also very happy to meet many friends in China, everyone knows that the main thing today is about the sale of Volvo Cars.

Let me start with a basic overview of Volvo.

Volvo (Volvo), a famous Swedish luxury car brand, once translated as rich. Founded in 1927 in Gothenburg, Sweden, the brand is not only an innovation in industrial technology, but also a showcase of Nordic luxury behind every Volvo car.

The Volvo Nordic Way of Luxury is committed to providing hassle-free mobility solutions in a personalised, sustainable and safe way.

Volvo Cars has a strong reputation in Northern Europe for quality and performance, and the Highway Loss Data Institute has ranked Volvo first in the list of the 10 safest cars.

In the 2013 Fortune Global 500 list, Volvo ranked 289th.

As for any other technical information, you should have investigated it very clearly, so I won't talk about it much, but now the auction has begun, with a starting price of 6.8 billion yuan, and each price increase shall not be less than 20 million.

Just as the old man finished speaking, the following instantly remembered the sound of bidding, 7 billion. 7.2 billion, 7.25 billion.

Li An was there holding his hands and looking at their offers, the first to shout were the poor, and the really rich ones didn't start shouting.

After a while, the price rose to 7.6 billion, and at this time, there were gradually fewer people shouting the price.

I paid 7.8 billion, and at this time, a middle-aged man with a small face and a round face and a very pleasant smile stood up and shouted.

After watching the man finish shouting, no one around stood up, Li An raised his card and stood up and shouted: 8 billion.

Hearing Ang Lee's offer, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at Ang Lee, and then shouted: 8.2 billion.

Ang Lee then shouted: 8.5 billion.

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at Li An again, and Li An looked at him with a nonchalant expression.

At this time, Wang Jingchu pulled Li An's sleeve and said: He is Zhou Wenshu, the boss of Shengli Automobile.

Li An nodded.

After hearing Ang Lee's price, the scene was silent. The old man on the podium looked down and said with a smile: Someone has shouted 8.5 billion, and no one has increased the price, you must know that Volvo not only has the world's top automobile manufacturing technology, it also has a global sales and maintenance network, which is the best way for your Chinese car companies to go global.

8.6 billion, Zhou Shuwen then shouted, and it could be seen that he was almost at the limit.

Ang Lee shouted indifferently: 8.8 billion.

After shouting the price, Li An sat down.

When Zhou Shuwen heard Ang Lee's offer, he had the urge to raise his legs and leave, fuck, these real estate companies are rich, isn't this bullying? Isn't it good for you to do your real estate well? Why do you want to come to our door to stir up in the automobile industry, how much money can cars make.

Under Peter's hopeful gaze, Zhou Shuwen continued to shout: 8.82 billion, and Shengli promised to keep his management, keep his factory workers, keep his independent operations after the acquisition of Volvo, and definitely not reduce their salaries.

Zhou Wenwen showed his killer feature in one breath, and he was also at the limit of what he meant.

Ang Lee shouted with a smile: 10 billion.

After Li An shouted, many of the people present who watched the jokes and drank tea almost suffocated to death, Damn, brother, are you a businessman, how can you do such a business, you use 10 billion to buy something that is actually worth 7 billion, won't the shareholders of your company eat you?

Or do you have any misunderstanding about what Volvo sells, Volvo's most valuable thing is his brand, as for the manufacturing technology of luxury cars, as long as you have money, it is not difficult to buy this thing, luxury cars are not said to give you technology You can build them, he also needs a lot of imported parts.

After listening to Ang Li's shout, Zhou Wenwen instantly sat in his position, feeling no other than uncomfortable.

Peter trembled with excitement when he heard Ang Lee's shout, Damn, there are so many local tyrants in China! I made a fortune this time, and I sold an extra 3 billion, and the commission alone is enough for me to support my old age, as for keeping small promises such as employee benefits, fuck it! How can money matter.

Peter knocked the hammer in his hand heavily, looked at the people present and said: 10 billion, is there anything higher?

10 billion for the first time, 10 billion for the second time, 10 billion for the third time, welcome this handsome friend, the successful acquisition of Volvo cars, you will definitely be a generation of overlords in the automotive industry in the future, congratulations.

Li An took Wang Jingchu to the front desk happily and shook hands with the old man and said: I am also honored to be recognized by Volvo, thank you very much.

Peter looked at the audience and said: Today's project ended perfectly, thank you very much for your participation and witness, I have prepared some good wine in the living room upstairs, and sincerely ask for your visit.

After Peter finished speaking, he took Ang Lee in to sign the contract.

Li An handed over all this to Wang Jingchu and came to the party upstairs alone, planning to drink some wine here and rest for a while, after all, signing a contract is too troublesome, and Li Ang is not in the mood.

Just when Li An just took a glass of good wine and hid in the corner of the party to drink, Zhou Shuwen came to Li An with a smile on his face and said: What a hero is a young man! Li Gongzi is really amazing!

Li An smiled and said: I have 40% of the shares, if I don't take back all of them, then won't I be blind with 40%?

Zhou Shuwen said with a smile: People must know how to make trade-offs in order to achieve great things, if you invest a large amount of money because of a small loss, it is not called business, it is gambling.

Li An nodded and said: What you said is very right! But how can there be a business in the world that is 100 percent profitable? What business is not gambling, and which person worth hundreds of millions of dollars does not grow up by gambling again and again.

After listening to Li An's words, Zhou Shuwen took the cup and saluted Li An and said: You are right, it seems that Lao Li has found a good successor! But I hope you have the luck to win the bet, I don't want to see Volvo at the auction one day.

Li An smiled and said: Do you know? Actually, my original target was not Volvo but Shengli Cars, but I thought about it, as an old-timer in China's auto industry, it is not appropriate for me to take away your company only by assets, but I will not feel guilty when I hear your words, because your mind cannot support the entire auto industry in China.

After Li An finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and looked at Zhou Shuwen, who was trying to control his emotions.

Zhou Shuwen looked at Li An's eyes and said: "The tone is not small, I have never encountered anything in my life, and I will be afraid of you little doll, if you have the ability, you will come in, we will see you in the mall."

After speaking, Zhou Wenwen drank the wine in his hand and walked out of the venue with his legs raised.
