Chapter 192: Pretending to hesitate
……
As the organizer of such an auction, it is natural to do a financial survey of all the invited guests at the beginning of the auction, because it is impossible for them to invite some people who have no money to join in the auction fun!
And because when Wu Hao asked Zhi Brain Zero to get him a ticket to enter this auction, he was not in the ranks of the organizers who took the initiative to invite him, so Zhi Brain Zero could only use the deposit in the bank account to give Wu Hao the green light-?
The organizers of the auction were naturally willing to participate in the auction for a guest with $15 billion in cash deposits in a Swiss bank.
In addition, after Wu Hao used 2 billion US dollars to photograph the ancient jade compass and paid for it in the following time, the organizer naturally did not doubt whether Wu Hao had the ability to pay.
However, although Wu Hao is now raising the bidding price so aggressively that the organizers and sellers are secretly happy, they don't want to offend the two families where Will and Medde belong at once.
So, as long as it's within their means, they'll be very cooperative with Will and Med.
When Will and Medder heard Hill's words, they also extinguished the idea of continuing to bid with Wu Hao, because now the price of meteorites has soared to many times more than the original reserve price, and if they continue to compete with Wu Hao to increase the price, I am afraid that they will break through the 10 billion mark.
Ten billion dollars is not a small number, because this number can almost build one of the most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the United States, and if you use it to buy F22, you can buy dozens of them.
After all, the price of F22 is only 300 million US dollars, and as for the mainstream fighters of other countries, it is more than enough to buy 100 fighters, such as **** fighters, which is definitely the highest cost performance in the world.
Although the DuPont family and the Rothschild family are not short of this $10 billion, it is obviously not in their interests to spend just $10 billion to buy a meteorite with research value.
Because even if these two families are very willing to spend money on the research and development of various future technologies, they still need to consider many aspects of the gains and losses if they spend $10 billion on a single project.
Otherwise. In the past, the two families would not have privately contacted the intention of reaching cooperation when the competition was fruitless, after all, although 5 billion US dollars is not a lot, but divided into two parts, each of their families is only 2.5 billion US dollars. They can afford to spend that money on a research project that they don't know if it's worthwhile.
However, now due to Wu Hao's sudden intervention, the price of meteorites has soared to more than 7 billion US dollars, and as far as Wu Hao's attitude is concerned, it seems that he has no intention of letting go.
Therefore. Such a high price is not the result that these two families want to see.
Even if Wu Hao gave up now, they didn't want to get this meteorite at such a big price, so after the price soared to this number, the two of them almost had a tacit understanding and ordered their respective subordinates.
"Okay, there's no need to continue bidding, this meteorite will be temporarily given to him for the time being."
"Understood, boss, but we can't just let him get away with it. According to the law of the other party's bidding, every time we increase the price, the other party will increase the number between 200 million and 300 million, and we can pretend to continue to bid once, so that the other party can also pay some more price. The subordinate said with a look of intrigue.
"Very well, just do as you say!" Will and Med didn't mean anything against it.
However, what they didn't know was that the conversation they had just had already been heard clearly by Wu Haotong's spiritual perception, so after Wu Hao, who was in the seat, knew about this situation, he just had a slight twitch of the corners of his mouth and had a countermeasure.
"$7.65 billion, and the guests in Box 1 bid $7.65 billion. Is there a higher bid? The host who presided over the auction was not surprised after seeing the new bid in Box 1, and he was obviously used to it. Then he stared at Wu Hao, who was in seat 66 in the hall under the stage, as if to say, it's time for you to bid.
And Wu Hao, who was located in seat 66, did not immediately ask for the price when he heard this, but sat there with his brows furrowed and thinking about something, but his frowning appearance was naturally seen by Will and Dread and others in the box.
"What's going on? Does the other party want to give up the bidding? ”
"I can't rule out this possibility, after all, the price of this meteorite has exceeded expectations too much." Originally, the starting price of this meteorite was only $2 billion. When it rises to $4 billion, only the DuPont family and the Rothschild family are left in competition, and when it comes to $5 billion, both families seem to understand that neither side wants to give up the plan to get the meteorite, but it is not in their interest to continue to compete too high.
Until Wu Hao intervened, the price of this meteorite was now close to 80 US dollars, originally they thought that Wu Hao would always fight with them to the end, but now seeing Wu Hao's hesitation for the first time, this also made them realize that if the price was really too high, Wu Hao would also give up the bidding.
After understanding this, the two also understood what to do next.
"After the other party bids again, we will stop and stop raising the price."
"Got it, boss!" This subordinate who had made the idea before also realized at this moment that if they continued to bid, the director Wu Hao would give up the bidding at the critical moment, so that his boss would lose a lot, and if things really developed to this point, then he would most likely be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
In this way, when Wu Hao hesitated and thought for several minutes, the host on the stage said nonsense I don't know how much, and all the means that can delay time have been used, Wu Hao still has no sign of continuing to open his mouth to bid, which undoubtedly makes the host extremely anxious.
Because he had already been instructed by his boss to make the final auction winner definitely not be either the Dupont family or the Rothschild family, so he was now anxiously praying in his heart that Wu Hao, who was sitting in seat 66, would quickly increase the price! As long as Wu Hao increased the price, he swore that he would immediately start counting the seconds and falling the hammer.
After all, hosting an auction like this is just too torturous.
Soon, Wu Hao, who was pretending to be hesitant in the hall, also knew that the time was almost up, and if he didn't speak again, I was afraid that the host would have no excuse to continue to drag on time.
As a result, Wu Hao gave a new bidding price, but increased by $50 million on the original basis, and the bid was $7.7 billion.
