Chapter 438 The Tiger That Bites Doesn't Bark
After the dinner, perhaps because I had seen too much information about the mansion just now, the dilapidated house in Yau Ma Tei was really unsightly.
Gu Biao really didn't plan to go home to live at night, but asked the driver to go to a top hotel near Central and asked for a presidential suite, the kind where you can see the sea view of Victoria Bay.
The reason why I went to Central was to be close to the auction house for tomorrow's judicial auction.
At the dinner just now, Gu Biao was generally very gentlemanly, and he didn't leave a phone address and asked the girl to find him after the meeting. He just played a scene and was rubbed a few times by the Hong Kong sisters.
It belongs to "really, I only rub it".
As for Li Xiaotong, who is not even 16 years old, Gu Biao took care of him as a little sister, only chatting, and didn't rub it. (Touching the face is not rubbing, and the face is not a sensitive part)
"It's a long time, the two Hong Kong sisters hugged each other left and right at the dinner, and the high school girl who just accepted looked up to you like a fairy. ”
Entering the house separately one after the other, Han Ting, who had been holding back her words for a long time, couldn't help but complain a few words.
Gu Biao just smiled when he heard this, and he didn't intend to explain anything. Instead, he took off his windbreaker casually and asked Han Ting to help hang it up, and while the other party was hanging up his clothes, he naturally asked casually:
"What about you, are you optimistic about it tonight? Do you want to get a mansion in Xiangjiang too? I see that Kong Shangzhong has been auctioned off more than a dozen residential properties, and the others are all in Baijiadao, but they are not bad. ”
Han Ting was just complaining casually, and Gu Biao changed the topic so naturally, she also felt quite relaxed.
After all, coming on the spot, returning at the end of the fun, not sticky, this is determined by Han Ting's independent attitude towards life, and she likes this feeling.
Han Ting replied casually: "I saw one, on the west shore of Repulse Bay, and there is also a small section of private beach. Take it tomorrow - no money from you. ”
"Of course, that's a small price for you right now. Gu Biao smiled and affirmed, and frankly indicated that he had no intention of insulting Han Ting with money.
Han Ting's Hanle Electronics now manufactures various game consoles for Gu Biao, with a total of millions of units. Even if the supply chain management is relatively strict and the competition is introduced, there is still a net profit of a few dollars per unit.
In the 80s, it was a quasi-golden age for the profits of OEM enterprises, and production capacity was still quite valuable, so the cumulative profits from the production of game consoles had been tens of millions of dollars. It's just that most of them have been invested by Han Ting to re-expand production and purchase advanced placement equipment.
It is not difficult to come up with $3 million spare money to buy a property in Xiangjiang.
Han Ting originally wanted to prepare a change of clothes for the bath, but realized that she had come to the presidential suite of the hotel with Gu Biao on a temporary basis, and she didn't bring any clothes, so she had to take them off carefully, so as not to get dirty, and she would wear them tomorrow morning.
While cleaning up, she finally asked: "You said that if I raise a sign for the auction of Repulse Bay tomorrow, will anyone rob me?"
Gu Biao glanced at it, silently turned up the temperature of the air conditioner in the room, looking very considerate, and replied: "Do you want someone to rob it or no one?"
Han Ting noticed this delicate warmth, and her resentment towards Gu Biao just now dissipated a lot.
He knew that Gu Biao was caring for the teacher, and knew that her clothes couldn't get dirty, so she couldn't wear them after taking a shower, so he turned up the air conditioner.
So a man in a high position, he is very careful when he cares about people, Pan Donkey Deng Xiaoxian, now he even has a small character, only one is missing.
There is no way to be idle, who let Gu Biao shoulder the great cause, and he can never really let go of everything and enjoy life.
"I want to save money, but I'm afraid that if people don't raise their cards, they don't give me face, but give you face, so it's easy to be embarrassed. Han Ting sighed in a dilemma.
Gu Biao rubbed the eye care ** on the bridge of his nose, and he had a headache.
The entanglement of heart disease is the most difficult to treat.
After thinking about it, he could only turn off the waits in the house, and encouraged him in the dark: "Don't worry, they want to give face, and they also give you face." Or, at least, it's because you may have a mysterious continent background that I give you face, and it has nothing to do with me. With your own struggles, and your current achievements, aren't you worthy of their face?"
"Although I know that you are praising me, I still like to listen to it, and I don't think much about it. ”
……
The next day, it was time for the auction to come soon, and Gu Biao went to the auction house in the morning.
He went with his bodyguards and assistants himself, and Han Ting brought someone else.
Unlike those normal regular antique auctions, today's auction starts at 10 a.m. because it involves judicial execution and is a bank auction of collateral.
However, auctions such as Sotheby's and Christie's that set a date in advance and notify buyers to participate, such as spring and autumn auctions, will not be held so early.
In contrast, the execution of collateral auctions is not so concerned about user privacy, just like a hall in the court, and will not make a separate box for large buyers.
However, the assistant can still bring it, and you can help the big boss hold up the card on the spot, so as not to let the big boss lose his share.
As for the details such as the margin, they are all the same and do not need to be repeated.
When Gu Biao entered the market, there were many wealthy businessmen, some of whom he had seen last night and some of whom he had not. There are also those who only send a client and are not present in person.
HSBC will also send a lawyer to the site to check whether the power of attorney documents in my absence are complete and compliant.
As for the auction house, because they don't know the relationship between the buyers, they tend to line up people of the same age when they come from the road.
Although Gu Biao is in terms of tangible assets and financial resources, he is second only to the top few families in Xiangjiang and the second echelon after the fifth place. But because of his age, he found that the left and right positions were all international students who had also returned from the United States.
Although the international students who can sit here are all the top rich second generation in Xiangjiang.
"I didn't expect to meet Gu Sheng here, fortunately, Xu Jinheng, a contemptible person, take care of me in the future. If Gu Sheng comes to California, please be sure to go to our mansion and let me do my best as a landlord. ”
On the left-hand side, a 23-year-old young man who had just graduated from his bachelor's degree and returned to Xiangjiang for a vacation and had a GAP-YEAR had a formulaic smile on his face, and he sincerely befriended Gu Aopan.
The so-called GAP-YEAR is a popular way of life for wealthy young people in the West, that is, after graduating from university, they will spend a year in society, familiarize themselves with various jobs, and find their true interests in life.
However, if you are poor and have a lot of tuition loans, who can afford the GAP-YEAR lifestyle. Let's make money first, and then talk about poetry and distance.
"Mr. Xu, yes, if you have the opportunity to go back to the United States, you must walk around. Gu Biao replied politely, but he actually didn't plan to move around at all.
After chatting a little bit, Gu Biao learned that Xu Kuoshao's family had less than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the elders in the family started in the shipping industry and also did some real estate, but in terms of scale, he was a dwarf in front of the charter king.
As soon as I finished chatting with the guest on the left, a female guest on the right-hand side extended an olive branch and accosted Gu Biao.
"I heard that Gu Sheng has a lot of relationship with the Prince of Monaco's family, and he will have to give more advice in the future, and I hope that Gu Sheng will come to Ao County to play more often. ”
This woman is also twenty-two or thirteen years old, and she doesn't introduce herself when she talks to her, as if she is sure that everyone in the Xiangjiang circle should know her face.
However, Gu Biao really didn't know him, but fortunately, the female assistant with him whispered in her ear, telling him that this was Miss Chaoqiong, the daughter of He Gambling King of Ao County.
Miss He also studied at a university in California, USA, and is also an American student, who also graduated from a bachelor's degree this year, so it is normal for her to be divided by the auction organizers.
However, what embarrassed these people the most was that they were all one or two years older than Gu Biao, but they had only just graduated from undergraduate. And in two months, Gu Biao will be able to even get a doctorate, and he is still a doctorate from Georgetown and a tutor from Kissinger.
Even if young people are not better than money and academics, these people are also blown up by Gu Biao to the point that they don't know where to go.
Today, they are destined to only hold up their cards on things that Gu Biao doesn't look down on, watch first, and pick up the second.
……
It didn't take long for the auction to officially begin.
First of all, there are some things such as business inventory, jewelry and luxury goods in the Kong industry, as well as some less valuable real estate, to warm up the scene.
Gu Biao was not interested in these things, so he watched the play. Even if it is a potential buyer, it is not for personal use or collection, but for resale.
Gu Biao saw Boss Zheng who he had seen last night, and asked the agent to raise his cards a few times, asking for some profitable low-priced goods. Boss Zheng has Chow Tai Fook in his hands, as well as other shopping mall-type real estate, which can be turned around and operated.
As for Kong's shares in the Swire Group, they were disposed of in the primary market in advance, and the shares would not be auctioned.
When the organizer began to sell a batch of famous watches and a batch of jewelry, Gu Biao noticed that Miss He next to him also raised her cards twice, but the jewelry bid did not succeed, but was taken away by Chow Tai Fook's boss Zheng. But the latter batch of famous watch inventory was successful.
"Miss He, you seem to be more interested in famous watches?" Gu Biao asked casually.
Miss He smiled: "I have a friend who has a watch company, I know the market, and if it is appropriate, I will help her raise the card." As for jewelry, since Boss Zheng has the heart to operate, I can't fight for the cost of channels, and the price has been speculated, so it's better to let it go. ”
Gu Biao secretly thought: Don't look at this guy as a wealthy daughter, it doesn't look like he is desperate for personal luxury, he is very shrewd.
A woman who buys jewelry can restrain her likes and dislikes, and it is not unusual to guide her decision-making by whether it is profitable to change hands.
Subsequently, these movable assets warmed up the field, and the auction finally reached the stage of hot blockbuster lots.
Several of Kong's shopping mall properties were auctioned off by shares, and people with more money could naturally pack them all up, but the auction house and HSBC did this, apparently hoping to intensify the competition and return some more money.
This kind of measure is extremely rare in previous years, because they can wait for the real estate to be sold slowly. However, this year is a critical year for negotiations in the diplomatic field, and the market expectations are too volatile, including the inconsistent estimation of the future growth and decline of Hong Kong's real estate, which has forced banks to act decisively to reduce risks.
In other words, if it weren't for the turn of '83 or '84, shopping malls wouldn't be in such a hurry to sell in this way.
Boss Zheng and Xu Kuoshao, who was sitting next to Gu Biao, fought several times, and Boss Zheng bought an entire medium-sized shopping center of Kong's family, which was already exhausted, and some of his vitality was insufficient, and he had to mortgage a lot of other assets to make enough money.
Xu Kuoshao did not compete much in the core target, but bought some scattered commercial real estate, which can be regarded as a gain.
The people around Gu Biao have gained something today, their expressions have become relaxed, and the tone of their conversations with Gu Biao has become more and more easy-going.
"Gu Sheng, are you here to see the world today? Didn't I say, if you have money, you should spend it, and you are the same...... Hundreds of millions of dollars. After Xu Kuoshao won a commercial real estate, he suggested beautifully.
"Thanks for the reminder. Gu Biao smiled without being salty.
"The next competitor is a hilltop mansion on Pak Ka Road, and the details of the lot are as follows...... The reserve price is 120 million Hong Kong dollars......" The auctioneer on the stage finally talked about what Gu Biao was interested in.
After an introduction, the process does not need to be repeated.
After the auctioneer finished speaking and announced the start of bidding, there was a little silence for five or six seconds, and then the agent of the charter king raised his card.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
