091 Sky-high auction

"Okay, we'll take care of that."

After understanding what Li Mo meant, Chen Meiyi seemed to have a good idea of this cooperation, and then picked up her documents and got up and said, "Then we won't bother Boss Li anymore, and I will take the initiative to contact you when I get back." ”

Seeing that the other party did not hesitate at all about the questions he raised, Li Mo was finally convinced that the other party came with true sincerity, so he was more inclined to this cooperation.

After Chen Meiyi walked to her side, Li Mo, who was about to send off the guests, asked again, "Another venture to ask, is Manager Chen a native of Hong Kong Island?" ”

"Yes... Could it be that Mr. Li also has geographical requirements for the selection of collaborators? ”

Chen Meiyi didn't understand what Li Mo meant for a while.

"Of course not, I just think you speak Mandarin very well." Li Mo immediately smiled, "Manager Chen, please go slowly, I won't be far away." ”

"Thank you."

After changing her Cantonese tone to thank Li Mo for his praise, Chen Meiyi also smiled and turned to leave the conference room.

Walking in the hotel lobby with long hair fluttering, thinking that this young boss only said two sentences in total, but every sentence was to the point, and he couldn't help but admire this professional beauty manager on Hong Kong Island.

"Boss, are you planning to cooperate with this company?"

Lu Siming, who also participated in the meeting, then stepped forward and asked, "Do you want me to investigate the background of this company?" ”

"Let's wait until the auction is over."

Li Mo shook his head gently, although he saw that the tone and attitude of the other party were all a posture of strong capital, but whenever it was time to show his real strength, Li Mo would naturally not believe the other party's verbal statement.

"Since this group called 'Wumart Industry' is so confident in winning our patent, it is not too late to wait for the other party to show the corresponding strength before getting to know each other further."

In addition to Chen Meiyi, who arrived first, in the next two days, several other Hong Kong businessmen also approached Li Mo to discuss relevant topics with him, but in the end, Li Mo only made a memorandum and did not sign a contract with a substantive surname.

So far, Li Mo only has one idea, that is, whoever is willing to buy his own patent with real money is the real potential and trustworthy collaborator.

Very powerful, but very reliable.

In Li Mo's slightly anxious waiting, finally, five days later, the Huashi Auction Conference was held as scheduled.

Hundreds of lots have attracted hundreds of collectors, businessmen, representatives of various companies from more than 20 countries around the world...

Among these physical lots, the most distinctive are the two patented products provided by Ugly Fish Culture, which have been vigorously promoted by Huashi Auction House, and in addition to the collectors that are common in traditional auctions, some industrialists and material manufacturers have also been invited to try their luck.

October 20, 2013, Hong Kong Island Crown Hotel, Huashi Auction House Autumn Auction Site.

Compared with the bustling scene of the mainland events, the venue here on Hong Kong Island is a little drab and serious, with only a banner hanging in front of the hotel and a wall of auction posters on both sides of the road to tell passers-by that an auction is about to be held.

But from time to time, the luxury cars that drive in and out, arrive at the scene surrounded by everyone, the business and collection bigwigs who are dressed with superior temperament, and the reporters who flock to the scene... It makes the atmosphere of the scene instantly rise several levels.

Facing the grand layout of the auction table, Li Mo, who is now sitting in the audience, is like a newcomer who has come to participate in the blind date, nervous and curious, who will eventually hold hands with his own products and become a new collaborator.

The first-generation mechanical pencil refill and memory plastic brought by Li Mo are numbered No. 16 and No. 17 respectively, and they are behind a pile of physical and technical patent lots, as the finale lots, waiting to be picked by destined people.

While waiting, Li Mo saw Chen Meiyi again, who had met a few days ago, and sat in the No. 5 position in the bidder's area with two other middle-aged men, but this time her identity seemed to be no longer the captain, but a staff officer, and the right to raise the card was controlled by the middle-aged man next to her.

When she sat down, Chen Meiyi glanced at the audience as if she had unintentionally, and met Li Mo's gaze unexpectedly.

Then the beautiful manager waved her hand at Li Mo with confidence, just like seeing an acquaintance.

After also waving his hand to say hello, Li Mo couldn't help but muttered in his heart, could it be that this Wumart really planned to come up and win his own lot?

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this auction, I am Qiu Zhihao, a national registered auctioneer, with a qualification number of 1700487, I hope my main hammer can bring you good luck..."

Just when Li Mo was holding his arms alone and guessing, the voice of the auctioneer of the main hammer sounded at the scene, causing him to retract his thoughts and look up at the stage.

I saw a handsome man in his forties standing behind the auction table, smiling and introducing himself.

After a standard Mandarin introduction, the other party explained in English, which was the official opening of the auction.

The auction scene, which was originally a bit noisy and casual, instantly became serious and quiet as the first exhibits were put on display.

Those bidders have basically understood the lots that will appear in this auction before, and they all have their own goals, so when the same lot that different people are optimistic about appears, the shouts one after another, and the rising auction prices, all make the auction scene full of a certain heart-wrenching tense atmosphere.

Even if the auction has nothing to do with them, in the face of a lot that has doubled in value, onlookers can't help but substitute for it, curious whether the product they fancy will produce such competition.

"10 million once, 10 million twice, deal"

After a few reminders, the crisp and neat sound of the mallet sounded, and one by one the lots changed their owners in such a seemingly boring process.

Since the auction is denominated in U.S. dollars, payment in other currencies will need to be converted according to the current exchange rate.

One, two... Number Fifteen...

Except for the auction of the No. 7 product, there was a short break on the spot, and the follow-up auction went smoothly all the way.

When it was Li Mo's turn to launch the auction for his first patented product, there were basically only representatives of major industrial manufacturers and private R&D teams left, including several Hong Kong Island businessmen who had met Li Mo before.

"The following product is a technical patent, from Huaxia Mainland Ugly Fish Stationery Co., Ltd., called 'the first generation of mechanical pencil refill technology', his advantage is that the integrated ruler drawing function has been tested by the market, the sales volume is considerable, and has a strong service life... The starting price of this product is 40 million. ”

After finishing the introduction that Li Mo had compiled before, the hammer auctioneer quoted the starting price of this technology patent.

Due to the special surname of the auction products, the starting price of the lot is packed in an envelope and handed over to the auctioneer by the auction consignor on the spot, so not to mention the bidder, even the auctioneer knows such a price.

40 million US dollars, compared to the products that have been sold before, it is an extremely high price.

So much so that after listening to the auction price of the previous product, Li Mo himself was curious from time to time whether he should temporarily modify his starting price.

But after thinking about it, from the trust in the products he supervised and produced, Li Mo still chose to bid according to the original price.

"Forty-five million"

"Forty-seven million"

Since a single increase is limited to one million, every shouting means that the value of his product has risen by at least more than six million Huaxia coins.

"50 million"

"Fifty-five million"

“…”

"No. 3 VIP 55 million once, 55 million twice, deal, congratulations to No. 3 VIP"

Eventually, the mechanical pencil refill technology was sold to a Chinese businessman from Singapore for $55 million, or about $330 million.

After getting this product, the merchant completed the transaction with Li Mo on the spot, paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.

Even if he was prepared for this, when he saw that there was nearly 400 million more RMB in the account he specially opened for this auction, Li Mo was still a little calm in an instant.

After completing the transaction, Li Mo returned to the auction site again with the joy and excitement of the harvest, waiting for the bidding of his next lot.

At this time, the introduction and quotation of the product have ended, and when they saw the finale appear at a starting price of 500 million US dollars, everyone at the scene couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.

First, I am amazed at the genius of the inventor of this material, and secondly, I am amazed at the high price of this technology.

"530 million"

Before everyone could react from the shock of the finale, a shout sounded at the scene.

"The No. 5 VIP shouted 530 million, is there anyone who wants to quote a higher price?"

He has knocked out millions of antique paintings and calligraphy, and auctioned hundreds of millions of jewelry and diamonds, but a patented technology with a starting price of 500 million US dollars is also the first time that this senior hammer auctioneer has encountered it.

But his good professionalism made him not be as surprised as ordinary spectators, but still quickly followed the atmosphere of the scene and did his work.

After all, once such a sky-high product is sold, it means that the auction company's income increases, so the auctioneer does not dare to be careless about this, and looks at the scene with ten times the spirit of the previous one, and adjusts the atmosphere at any time.

"It's so ruthless..."

A quotation instantly increased by 30 million, and seeing these representatives of Wumart Industry sitting there without changing their colors, quietly listening to their own quotes, all the audience couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

At such a price, if you change it to yourself, you can't earn it for a hundred lifetimes, but the other party is so calm...

Although his heart has gradually calmed down, Li Mo and his team have also tried their best to suppress their excitement at this price, clenching their fists, and constantly looking forward to the appearance of another bidder.

"540 million"

A businessman sitting in an inconspicuous position suddenly raised the sign in his hand and shouted.

From the beginning of the auction, the European merchant sat quietly and did not open his mouth to bid in Cantonese until then.

"550 million"

In the face of the blockers who came out halfway, Wumart Industry quickly followed up the price.

"560 million"

With the rise in prices, everyone's eyes are also focused on the two sides of the auction, on one side is Hong Kong Island Wumart Industry, and on the other hand is the European businessman who does not know the origin, secretly sighing that this is called the real competition.

"570 million"

After bowing his head and discussing with his own people for a while, the sign-bearer of Wumart Industry shouted again.

The European businessman was still expressionless, and the robot-like urn said, "Five hundred and eighty million"

“…”

A material synthesis technology, less than three minutes after the start of filming, has climbed to 580 million US dollars, and all the big players who still remain on the scene have completely stopped eating, and no one dares to interject casually.

Those who watched the excitement were even more shocked, as if they had seen one of the most powerful auction battles of the century.

"Six hundred million!"

"Wow~"

With Wumart Industrial's shocking offer again, everyone gasped, and then their eyes turned to the European businessman, curious if the other party would continue to follow the price this time.

In the end, after the European businessman held his mobile phone and said a few words, he stopped shouting and did not continue to raise the number plate in his hand.

"600 million once, 600 million twice, deal! Congratulations to the fifth dignitary! ”

"Knock"

The sound of the hammer also means that the dust of the last round of auction has settled, and finally Hong Kong Island Wumart Industrial won the patented technology of the ugly fish "memory plastic" at a price of 600 million US dollars, about more than 3 billion Chinese coins.
