Chapter 1 Practicing people is hypocrisy
"33 million!" "34 million!"
"35 million!" "40 million!"
Gu Mojie was quite sincere at the beginning, and he thought about buying it to collect and play with it, so he still tried to increase the price by two handfuls to 35 million. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
And every time, I waited until the auctioneer shouted for the third time to increase the price.
But when that stunned Hacard. After Prince Hussein shouted 40 million euros at one time, Gu Mojie was not interested.
It's not that he can't burn money but can't burn the other party -- a small country like Bahrain, he hasn't taken it seriously. Even if the oil and gas resources controlled by the Bahraini royal family are estimated to be no higher than all the assets of the Hatsune Group today.
What's more, everyone knows that the kings of that kind of country are all big stallions, and they have at least dozens of sons. This Khakad. Prince Hussein, I don't know how much of Daddy's money I can get a share of
The reason why he didn't burn with those people was that Gu Mojie's IQ couldn't tolerate such a meaningless behavior.
He has a lot of enemies, and it is impossible to meet a **** who has never met before, and burn tens of millions of euros with the other party.
"Shiners, be prepared to wait for a country like Greece that has no eyes to pay the price." Gu Mojie took out a cigar and ignored the fact that there was a girl next to him. It shows that his heart has been provoked.
Feliro didn't say anything, picked up her mobile phone, dialed the number of the auction house box she had just booked, and then said a few words quickly.
Gu Mojie didn't hear clearly, and was a little curious: "What did you say?" β
"I asked them for Miss Onassis' contact information."
"Will they give?"
"I said you were here."
"Oh! I knew you were impulsive again. Gu Mojie shrugged helplessly, Fei Liluo is a little petty, arrogant, and angry, just like Sister Lin.
Are too skinny girls to have this attribute? Lu Wenjun, who has a good temper, most of the time just put up with it.
Since Feliro leaked Gu Mojie here, ask the clubhouse for an Athena. Onassis's contact information, naturally, is not a problem.
Not to mention Miss Onassis, it is the Greek President Papoulias, when he hears that Gu Mojie is coming, he will personally run over and ask for investment to save his country. (Papoulias: Please, Miss Onassis's status is much higher than that of me as president, will you give an example?) οΌ
Feliro delayed the time and increased the price twice, during which time she made a phone call.
β¦β¦
Hacard on the van. Prince Hussein is having a good time.
Recently, he has refused to come to Greece to play. If I hadn't been deceived, I wouldn't have come.
And as soon as he came, he regretted it.
Because Greece is in an economic crisis, most of the people who must come are looking for bargains.
How can the son of the great chief of Bahrain be in the same league as those who buy discounts? Isn't that self-defeating?
Who doesn't know that the big oil dogs in the Middle East are encountering a discount activity of a certain awesome brand, and they have to use RPG against each other's heads, forcing people to rise back to the original price and buy again?
Buying discounted goods is simply an insult to the dignity of big dog households. Selling discounted goods to big dog owners is simply looking down on people.
He didn't have time to Google it, he didn't mention it, and his subordinates didn't dare to take the initiative to Google and introduce him to the glorious history of the "Christina.o".
For the auction of collectible treasures, Khacard. Prince Hussein has only one principle of creed: you must buy what someone robs. If someone robs it, it means that it is a good thing, and it will not be ridiculed if you buy it.
If you don't want anything that others want, only what you want, who knows if it's a good thing?
That's why he was on vacation in Greece for more than half a month, and he had already seen the boat at the last auction, but he didn't bother to hold up the sign. Because he thinks the ship is old-fashioned and slow.
Now, if a Chinese robs it, he will also be on it.
"50 million euros at a time...... β¬50 million...... Sorry to wait! As the auctioneer was talking, the assistant in the audience walked up and gave the auctioneer a mobile phone. The auctioneer said two words to him, and he was sweating profusely.
"That...... I'm very sorry. The owner of the ship, Athena. Miss Onassis's team of lawyers informed the firm that they had cancelled the auction. Therefore, the flow standard of this standard. β
"What? Are you kidding me?" Khacard. The people on Prince Hussein's side immediately became clamoring.
Isn't that looking down on people?
The auctioneer grovels and explains, "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. According to the law, Miss Onassis had prepaid an auction deposit equivalent to 8% of the reserve price, and if she reversed it, she would have to pay the money to the bidder.
Now that the other party has made a concession, considering that you have already shouted 50 million euros, the shipowner, Miss Onassis, is willing to pay 8% of the difference according to the bid amount of 50 million euros, and then divide it equally between you and Miss Feliro, another bidder......"
Auctions do not mean that someone has made a bid will definitely sell.
Many Xiaobai feel that they will carry it to death if they shout the price, but in fact, it is all a joke.
How many of those "land king" hype auctions in China were re-failed after shouting huge high prices? Is it possible that the law will still enforce it?
Whether everyone enters the auction or is listed for sale, they all have to give a deposit for the transaction. The power of the law is limited to the collection of the few percentage points of the bid bond paid in advance by the other party; It will not exceed the scope of the margin liability.
In the auction of the "land king" in later generations, he falsely shouted a high price and then failed to auction, and paid a bid deposit equivalent to a few percent of the reserve price. Although it seems to be a loss, it can actually make a lot of money in the capital speculation market.
For example, if there is a "land king" with a floor price of 100,000 square meters in Luwan District, it will immediately cause other houses around the plot to rise and rise. And the developer of the land speculation king, if there happen to be multiple adjacent plots of real estate in the surrounding area, they can earn back the deposit dozens of times from the price increase of the adjacent plots.
Therefore, when smart people enter the auction house, they will make good use of the two types of weapons: "shouting a high price and not giving money in the end" or "luring others to shout a high price and not selling in the end". People who don't have enough IQ are the ones who shout that they must give money.
When the cost of default is very low and the profit from default is high, decisive breach of contract is a great business art.
For the auction object with a reserve price of 30 million yuan, if 8% of the transaction deposit, the shipowner will pay 2.4 million euros in advance. If she repents and doesn't want to sell, it is nothing more than this 2.4 million confiscation, part of which is given to the auction house as a labor fee for a busy day, and most of the compensation is given to the person who successfully bids.
What's more, now Khacard. Prince Hussein hasn't won the bid yet.
"Your Highness Hussein, you will receive your 2 million euros in compensation, and another 2 million euros will be paid to Miss Feliro, who also made a bid. If you are not satisfied, you can resolve the matter through legal means...... It was a make-of-the-moment decision by Miss Onassis, and we couldn't help it. β
The auctioneer eventually squeezed out a few hints of groveling and turned the words to Khacard. Hussein stated it again.
Khacard. Hussein was so hung that he was sick with anger.
Obviously, that Miss Onassis is also a good master.
When people sell things, they don't just look at money. There is still some hope that it can attract some off-site resources. Or rather, just hoping to make two worthwhile friends through this deal.
A ship, selling for 30 million or 50 million, is there a difference for Miss Onassis, who has more than 3 billion euros in cash deposits?
She just didn't think the oil prince was worth associating withβat least, after she learned that there was a more interesting, elegant, and capable comparison option with Gu Mojie.
Mining dogs and coal bosses, that's how miserable they are.
A lifetime of discrimination by people in the high-tech industry;
The world is discriminated against by people in the high-tech industry;
Forever discriminated against by people in the high-tech industry.
Say the important thing three times.
If Prince Khalid knew how to Chinese, he should have sung the phrase "The cold dog food is slapped on the face, and the warm and warm dog food is mixed with the dog food......"
Gu Mojie quietly left the auction with the girls, hiding his merit and fame.
β¦β¦
The dinner of the day was held by appointment in the palace of Skolpios, one of the main private islands of the Onassis family.
Since 2005, when 20 years old Athena. After Onassis married the Brazilian equestrian who was 12 years her senior, she lived in Brazil for a long time. Occasionally, she returns to Europe, and mainly lives in Switzerland, where she spent her girlhood.
When Felilo's invitation to contact arrived, Athena was actually in Lausanne, Switzerland.
When she heard that there was an interesting group of guests who had taken a fancy to the yacht named after her late mother, Athena did not hesitate to fly back to her homeland for a while.
"Do you want to change to a more high-end dress?" This question was asked by Lu Wenjun and Fei Liluo before going to the banquet.
In the end, Gu Mojie's answer was: How beautiful and how to wear, don't be too frivolous. I heard that Athena is also a guy who hates aristocratic red tape.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Wenjun and Feliro are not entangled.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Gu Mojie's current assets are richer than the outdated old chaebol Onassis family. Why not be confident?
When he was dressing up, Lu Wenjun didn't forget to ask: "Applejack, how much money does the Onassis family have?" casually on the Internet, it is said that more than 3 billion euros in cash, which does not seem to be very awesome. β
"Do you believe Baidu and Google? How can it be accurate. Gu Mojie smiled and stroked Lu Wenjun's hair,
"3 billion euros is just cash. In addition, her real estate and fleet, which are easy to value assets, are at least more than 8 billion euros. The Onassis family also held shares in more than 100 companies, large and small, that year. There are probably more than 60 that have not been closed or acquired in decades.
It's hard to say how much this piece is worth. The reason why the assets of the invisible rich are difficult to estimate is that most of the business shares they hold are not listed companies, and their financial statements do not have to be transparent to the public. β
Lu Wenjun doesn't know much about finance, so he passed after listening to it. After all, Fei Liluo is very business-oriented, and her business sense is very keen, so she took a few glances at the information and estimated it.
"It seems that if you do the real calculation, the total shares of the more than 60 companies will not be less than 9 billion euros, plus 3 billion cash and 8 billion fixed assets, the current industry of the Onassis family should still be worth 20 billion euros."
According to this algorithm, Onassis will still have an easy time maintaining the richest man in Greece. Among the Balkan countries in southeastern Europe, he is still the richest man.
The three of them chatted and cleaned up. In the evening, a helicopter belonging to the Onassis family arrived, landed on the tarmac of the Ferrello Yacht Club, and picked up the three men.
After more than half an hour of flight, the helicopter landed on the island of Skolpios, about 100 nautical miles from Athens, in the Aegean Sea.
The island is quite large, 4,000 hectares (40 square kilometres) and is shaped like a dumbbell that curves to one side, so the recessed area is suitable for deep-water yacht harbors.
However, the degree of development on the island is quite primitive, in addition to taking out dozens of hectares to transform into cruise ports and airports, there are only 3 palaces/manors, as well as basic supporting facilities such as communications, water and electricity. The rest of the undeveloped areas are basically large areas of forest, or a few kilometers of coral white sand beaches.
Before the plane landed, Felilo had a bird's-eye view of the whole island and said to herself, "It looks much more atmospheric than the goods taken out of the auction house in the afternoon." I don't know if this island sells it or not. β
When the group got off the heliport, they immediately had to change into a customized version of the "Bentley Continental Speed", and then drove down the winding road, driving about 5 kilometers before arriving at Onassis Palace.
The private airport, including the helipad, was built at the summit of the island's hills, and there was no apron next door to the palace. It can be seen that the owners of the island are very eco-friendly and pay attention to the natural and simple resort style.
At the entrance of the Palace of Onassis, a blonde girl with a few bodyguards and maids sat at a French stone table in the outdoor garden without the slightest shelf and waited. There are parasols on the stone tables, the palace has no walls, everything is close to nature.
Anyway, this is a private island, and it's a bit of a bit of a stretch to get a garden fence.
"Welcome, Mr. Gu from the 'Mysterious East'. I didn't expect my boat to attract such interesting guests after it was hung out, I always thought you disdained luxury. β
The tall and plump blonde smiled gracefully and greeted herself, speaking in English. Visually, this girl has more than 1.75 meters, long golden hair like a waterfall, and her complexion is wheat color that often sunbathes.
She is naturally the owner of the island, Athena. Miss Onassis.
Gu Mojie and his entourage also had to give some face, and chatted back in English: "Fortunately, I didn't expect this kind of coincidence, Miss Onassis seems to know me quite well?" β
"You're so legendary, who doesn't understand? I've always envied you. β
The corners of Gu Mojie's mouth twitched: "Envy me for being rich?" β
Athena restrained her laughing expression and said, "I envy you for having money and your own life." Unlike me, the money was not earned by myself, and I didn't have the ability to control it, so I could only be guarded by the lawyer team left by my grandfather. β
Gu Mojie knew that he had said something wrong, and it was not easy to explain, so he generously picked up his sister's hand and kissed it, which was regarded as a salute.
Athena looked at him curiously, and finally smiled slightly: "Alas, if there is an atmosphere, I really want to use the 'First Met Moments' and 'Beauty Camera' to make friends, instead of Facebook and Instagram." You're a lot more interesting than Zuckerberg's kind of person. β
"Maybe that's the opportunity cost...... You only live once. After having money, choosing a life path that spends money is equivalent to giving up another choice at the same time. Miss Onassis......"
"Eh, I said you're not sour, you always shout 'Miss Onassis', I remember you're younger than me, right?"
"I'm 86......"
"That's smaller than me, I'm 85. If you want to call it directly, just call Athena, or call Sister Athena. β

The second watch is in the afternoon. The time is not very stable during the National Day. But today and tomorrow are 9,000 words (to be continued.) )
