350. The ambition of the Luo family
At this time, in a remote corner in the distance, a father and daughter were discussing.
"Xiaowen, what's wrong with you?" Luo Xu looked at his daughter suspiciously
Tonight, part of their Regal Hotel Group's equity is also in it, but their funds are far from enough, so they have united with people from other hotel groups to auction off this composite equity document first.
This portfolio equity document contains the equity of many hotel groups, including their 15% stake in Regal Hotels Group.
This time, Luo Xu went abroad to raise funds, and then auctioned off the 15% equity, so that their Luo family would control 40% of the equity at that time, plus 10% of the equity of their friends, then the board of directors of Regal Hotel Group would be dominated by their Luo family.
This time, they Luo Baowen and Yuan Kang are engaged, which also means that 35% of the voice of Regal Hotel Group belongs to their family.
Luo Xu was very excited in his heart, looking forward to getting the 15% stake tonight.
"Dad, I saw someone just now, I might be in trouble tonight!" Luo Baowen said a little nervously
Unexpectedly, that person also came to Sotheby's auction tonight, and if he was also interested in this portfolio equity document this time, then it would be difficult for their Luo family to do it.
This time, although they united many hotel groups to take pictures of this portfolio equity document together, if one of the other hotels retreated, then the hope of taking this portfolio equity document would be in vain.
"Xiaowen, who did you see? What are you so nervous about? It's absolutely no problem for us to unite so many hotel groups to shoot that portfolio equity document tonight, and we won't have any opponents in shooting this portfolio equity document tonight!" Luo Xu said with a very confident face
This time, so many hotel groups joined forces, and the price they could offer was also very high, and they didn't believe that they couldn't get this portfolio equity document.
Thinking that he would be able to gain complete dictatorship on the board of directors in the future, Luo Xu was excited, he had waited for this day for too long.
Although he is still the chairman of the Regal Group, their Luo family only has 25% of the shares, plus 10% of his friend's shares, and only occupies 35% of the right to speak.
Today, Regal Hotels has too many shareholders, large and small, so he often has to compromise and make concessions on the board.
"Dad, that person is the one who clashed with Xiaokang before!" Luo Baowen calmed down and said.
Thinking that her younger brother is still lying in the hospital, Luo Baowen is stomach is on fire, and she is holding a breath in her chest that is difficult to swallow.
Luo Baowen also had a very ominous premonition in her heart at this moment, and their Luo family's thoughts might be shattered tonight.
"Xiaowen, are you sure it's that person?"
When Luo Xu heard his daughter's words, his face suddenly lost the confidence he had just now, and he was praying in his heart, don't confront that person tonight!
Otherwise, many hotel groups will be so frightened that they will not dare to ask for a price!
"Yes, Dad, I can recognize that person turning to ashes!" Luo Baowen said affirmatively
At the same time, he cursed in his heart and said: "Chen Hui, turn to ashes!"
"It may really be difficult tonight," Luo Xu suddenly sighed and said, with a cold sweat behind his back.
I really don't want to get into a conflict with that man.
He had seen the previous video of the town being taken to the open sea to feed the sharks.
It was so horrible, so cruel that it made him sick to his stomach for several days, and he couldn't eat.
And the robbers who were caught in prison were also not spared, and within a month, all of them died, and their bodies were dumped in stinking ditches or manure pits.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Adolf Downey, who is in charge of this auction, and I am very happy to have you all come to this special Sotheby's auction, we have previously produced a total of 40 precious works of art and 16 antiques, and I think today's auction will be even more successful!"
About five minutes after Chen Hui sat down with George, a white auctioneer walked up to the auction table and skillfully uttered an opening sentence in six languages, and the audience burst into sparse applause.
In fact, the situation last time was not, as Adolf Dawney said, more than half of the auction items were auctioned by people arranged by the auction house.
Adolf Downey, an internationally renowned auctioneer, came to put out the fire.
The auctioneer or registered auctioneer is the title of the host of the main hammer auction.
A good quality auctioneer, after the optimal combination of the items to be auctioned, can determine the best bidding route, coupled with the noise of the atmosphere of the scene, they often make the bidding achieve unexpected results.
In fact, the auctioneer you see presiding over the bidding at the auction is only the final stage of the entire auction process, and in fact, the auctioneer's work is much more than that.
First of all, the auctioneer should participate in the collection of the object, the signing of the entrustment contract, and at the same time have a detailed understanding of the situation of the lot, so that he can be well informed, and when presiding over the bidding, the buyer can fully understand the lot, and at the same time with the monk. Next, the auctioneer has to participate in the investment promotion, which is one of the more complex tasks in the auction process. Usually, the auction company information channels include media, body announcements and other ways, and the buyer is not as much as possible, but the more "right" the better.
Therefore, a good auctioneer should have a good grasp of the lots, and before entering the auction, he should be able to predict which lots will be sought after, be able to roughly estimate the maximum value of each lot, and even know who the potential buyers of each lot will be.
The income of an auctioneer depends mainly on the auction house he or she serves. Of course, the auctioneer's income is also related to his own reputation, so the auctioneer will often increase his value through multiple live auctions to attract the attention of auction customers.
Adolf Downey is a top auctioneer in the international auction world, when the average auctioneer can only get 8,000 euros per auction to get a good meal, Adolf Downey has to extract a large amount of commission from the auction house, of course, this is also inseparable from his excellent auction skills.
The highest honor for the auctioneer profession is to receive the "White Glove", and being awarded the White Glove is the highest honor for an auctioneer, which marks the 100% sell-through rate of an auction special.
White gloves represent a high level of recognition of you, so if you get "white gloves". Identity is like the Owiska Movie Emperor in the auction industry, at that time, your income will be very objective.
Adolf Downey is the winner of the three-time white glove, and no one can surpass it in today's international auction world, so the auction organizers specially invited Adolf Downey to preside over the auction when the last transaction volume was very low.
The last auction was a very failure, 54 items, 12 were unauctioned, and most of the rest were taken away by some owners themselves or entrusted by the auctioneer, and the auctioneer who was the offending sheep was immediately fired.
Now Xia art occupies an important position in the international art market, and has appreciated rapidly in recent years, if I don't have money in my pocket, I will definitely sit in the audience today and chase Mr. and Mrs. to grab business········"
Adolf Downey is one of the world's top auctioneers, and after the opening, he did not rush into the subject, but stood on the stage and chattered, and his humorous words caused the audience to laugh from time to time, and the tense atmosphere before the auction was immediately diluted.
"Okay, presumably my friends are already in a hurry, you must be scolding me in your heart for delaying everyone's time, let's enter this special auction of Xia Guo art!"
Adolf Downey suddenly changed his mind and drew everyone's attention to the auction room, and the first lot of the day, which was also brought to the table in front of the auction table by a white-gloved staff, from the old rosewood shaft rod and the yellowed rolled paper, everyone could tell that it was an ancient painting.
"Our first lot today is an oil painting, which is the work of Lang Shining, a court painter of the Xia Kingdom three hundred years ago, from the Frey family's collection.
This is a portrait of the imperial concubine of the ancient Xia Kingdom, which combines the softness and grace of oriental women, and it is "Bust of Chunhui Guifei".
After the appraisal of many experts in many countries and Xia countries, it is indeed made by Lang Shining, there is no falsehood, and it is also one of the three works of Lang Shining that can be proved by the world!"
Adolf Dawny's words caused a commotion in the venue, and those who came to the auction did not expect that Adolf Dawny would actually take out the lot that was originally arranged in fifth place in advance, which made those who wanted to auction this painting feel a little unprepared.
In a general auction, color pages are made to promote the lot and the auction order, and many buyers pay attention to the lot they want based on these color pages, but Jefferson broke the convention and confused the order, which made some people interested in the painting immediately nervous.
"I heard that Emperor Qianlong did not allow anyone to watch this picture of the concubine after he painted it, and he only saw it three times in his life.
The starting price of this oil painting of the ancient emperor's concubine is 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the price increase is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars each time.
It seems that Adolf Dawny has worked a lot on this painting, and has turned over the past events of Emperor Qianlong, with a strong incitement in his words, and everyone in the audience has whispered about it.
