Chapter 18: Kidnapping as a Business
"This auction item is a Tang Dynasty porcelain vase unearthed in Luoyang, a treasure of time, unique, according to our Chinese tradition, today it will be an auspicious auction of 88 million!" The gringo spoke fluent Mandarin on stage.
When the words fell, there was an uproar at the bottom, and the people who could sit here were all people who had been verified for their identities, and the purpose was very simple, that is, the money was burned in a panic and squandered it.
"Ninety million!" A middle-aged man raised the sign in his hand and began to call the price, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly made up the two odds, which was two million.
"Mr. Zhang is really courageous," the foreigner on the stage smiled and gave a thumbs up to the middle-aged man who was bidding.
The middle-aged man was obviously surprised, he was sure that he didn't know the foreigner standing on the stage, and it should be the first time they met today, but the other party seemed to know him, and directly called out his surname, but it didn't seem strange when he thought about it carefully, as if his employees were all him and he didn't know all of them, the identity was different, of course it was different.
"Nine thousand Wu Bai Wan" Another middle-aged man with glasses also held up a sign.
"Mr. Li is generous," said the foreigner on the stage.
Obviously, this is not a one-man show, everyone present has the strength to spend a lot of money.
"Ninety-seven million"
"One hundred million"
"110 million"
"120 million"
Bidding and flying straight, only the first Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li were left in the back, and it was obvious that both of them valued this treasure, and the two of them spent a lot of money and were light, without the slightest distress.
This rich man is really confident.
"Two hundred million" Mr. Li said.
Not to be outdone, Mr. Zhang shouted: "210 million"
Mr. Li turned his face and looked at Mr. Zhang leisurely: "Mr. Zhang, it doesn't make much sense for the two of us to fight like this, we are both businessmen, everyone understands the truth of the snipe and the clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman, it is better for Mr. Zhang to endure the pain and cut his love, I Li Mou wrote down this favor today, and set up a banquet to thank you another day?" ”
None of you here are fools, this is not a charity auction, and you won't get any fame if you spend money on it, but it will expand the pockets of the organizers, so why not restrain a little.
Whoever has money is really burning in a panic, isn't it just to show off, everyone here is in a circle, who doesn't know anyone?
"What Mr. Li said is very right, but I have already bargained, why don't you bear the pain and cut your love?" Mr. Zhang said with a smile.
Mr. Li's face was ugly, in fact, the main purpose of saying so many high-sounding truths was to take the blue and white porcelain on the stage into his pocket, who had seen through his mind at a glance to the other party.
The foreigners on the stage of "210 million once" have already raised their hammers, and after three sounds, the final blow will be made.
Mr. Li's face turned pale, what he said just now was all what he said, and now if he adds more money, won't he slap himself?
"Two hundred and ten million twice" foreigners thought to themselves, this thing may have been priced.
"Three hundred million!"
At this moment, an abrupt voice exploded, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it directly increased by 90 million.
It's not like that.
With shock and doubt in their hearts, everyone looked at the source of the voice.
"Mr. Hua is really heroic, in the old saying, that is a hero out of a young man" The foreigner standing on the stage first recognized the person who shouted the price, and said with a smile.
The voice was flattering from the heart, and he did not doubt that the man in front of him, who was less than thirty years old, had the ability to pay these three hundred million, because this was Hua Sicong, the son of Hua Jianlin, the richest man in China, and it was rumored that he could make his own decisions about hundreds of millions of business, that is to say, he was not an ordinary rich second generation, he had a certain purchasing power, and it was also a terrifying purchasing power.
……
Hua Sicong is like a priceless safe, a group of bandits have stolen the insurance county, and the question Xiao Yi envisioned is that in addition to using the master's password to unlock the safe, there is no way to obtain the wealth inside. Of course, this safe must be equipped with a self-destruct device, and it cannot be forcibly opened.
The only way for the bandits seems to be to find the key.
For example, now they can only let Hua Sicong go to the bank to withdraw money, there is only one way, there is no other way.
But it's different, Xiao Yi always feels different, he feels that Salem is not avoiding the limelight, but unlocking the safe in another way.
That man is Salem, a recognized genius, and in the eyes of geniuses there can be no only one solution to anything, because their existence is not absolute, and often geniuses are crazy, and they are constantly changing roles between the two.
Hua Jianlin was also pondering, he didn't completely disagree with Xiao Yi's statement, the understanding of things in this world has two sides, and there is no way out, in fact, the cliff with thick fog may be less than one meter high.
Suddenly, Hua Jianlin thought of something, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly: "Auction!" ”
"Mr. Hua, what did you think of?" Xiao Yi hurriedly raised his head and asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, there is an auction today, and the auction items are all sky-high items of nearly 100 million yuan, if the kidnappers use Sicong's identity to go to the auction house......" At this point, Hua Jianlin's brows drooped heavily.
Xiao Yi understood what Hua Jianlin meant in an instant: "They can take away the auction items, and then it is the organizer of the auction who asks you for money, not the kidnappers?" ”
"That's true!"
"Isn't this kind of auction a one-handed delivery of money?" Xiao Yi asked.
"How to pay for hundreds of millions of dollars? Because the people who attended the meeting were all rich and powerful people, where is their family background, of course, the organizers are not afraid of the other party's debts," Hua Jianlin said.
"They've turned kidnapping into business!" One of Hua Jianlin's entourages couldn't help but gasp.
Saying this, Xiao Yi stood up from the sofa suddenly: "That's right, there is really more than one key to open the safe, Mr. Hua, do you know where the auction house is?" ”
Hua Jianlin looked at the entourage behind him.
The attendant was a capable woman, and the woman flipped through her phone, and then said, "Found it, at the Kyoto World Trade Museum!" ”
"Where must they be, no wonder they didn't show up, they never thought of using Hua Sicong to exchange money directly, we ignored that money is not only valuable in this world!" Xiao Yi's expression was solemn, if this is the case, then what kind of IQ has Salem reached, this kind of opponent is tricky.
Hearing his words, everyone was stunned, especially Hua Yiyang, who opened his mouth wide in shock, and came back to his senses after a while: "That is to say, they used my eldest brother to get those priceless auction items and then fled, if it wasn't for the first brother to guess, it is possible that they have achieved their goal and left, and we are still waiting here stupidly?" ”
The smoker got up, extinguished half of the cigarette, looked at Hua Yiyang and said, "You can say that!" (To be continued.) )
