For Brady in front of the stage, everyone didn't ask any technical questions, but mostly greetings, which made Yao Fei feel that the scene was a little weird.

However, as the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, the venue fell into a brief silence.

At the beginning, no one took the initiative to bid, because they all knew that the current price must have been shouted and played.

"$50 Million ......"

As a last resort, the people secretly arranged by the Warburg Pincus Group began to move, and it is not a matter that the scene always remains like this, if no one opens the bid then this joke will really have to be made, needless to say that the Warburg Pincus Group will also become a big laughing stock in the industry.

"55 million ......"

"56 million ......"

"80 million ......"

raised the price by 24 million all of a sudden, but it was Yao Fei, the current poor people, who shouted the price, but making such a move was purely because he wanted to take the opportunity to brush up on his sense of existence.

For Yao Fei to raise the bid so sharply, many people immediately looked sideways for him, Yao Fei also raised his glass slightly to the eyes of others, his purpose has been achieved, and then he will concentrate on watching the show.

Brady is also one of them, and at first he accidentally saw Yao Fei and Kearns together, and thought that Yao Fei was just one of someone else's sidekicks.

Now it is known that Yao Fei is also one of the bidders, which has to make Brady take a look at Yao Fei, but that's all.

Yao Fei's offer only added a little tension to the atmosphere, and in a flash, the data shouted by the later bidders kept refreshing the highest offer.

The emotions of the auctioneers on the stage also became more and more passionate as the giants continued to increase their prices.

"Ninety-six million, this gentleman bid ninety-six million, is there a higher price...... Okay, this gentleman in a gray shirt here is bidding 97 million, 97 million, and there is no ...... for a higher bid than this? ”

Before the auctioneer's words could be heard, the higher bidder overturned the previous record.

It only took a short time for the entire price to soar from 50 million to 100 million, less than five minutes.

Prices are still refreshing. Until this time, giants such as Intel, HP, Siemens, and IBM still did not participate and sat firmly in the Diaoyutai.

"Oda-kun, Izuka-kun, it's time for us to make a move!"

Kobayashi said that as the leader of Canon, Sony, and NEC Corporation, it was a matter of course that he would come forward to bid.

"120 million ......"

Although the stretch of the price this time is not as exaggerated as Yao Fei's bid, it also has an amplitude of more than 10 million, but it means that the big bulls have begun to participate.

"125 million ......"

Seeing the participation of its old rival NEC, Siemens immediately made the first bid to fight back.

"130 million ......"

IBM is also involved.

"132 million ......"

The shouter is sitting next to Yao Fei Kearns, Xerox was listed on the New York Stock Exchange last year, although the performance was weak due to the bottleneck before, but after a few months of buffering, this tired strong man has fully recovered his spirit and is ready to do a big job, and for the purchase of monocrystalline silicon research institutes, they are completely interested in having confidence and strength.

However, this made Yao Fei feel a little surprised, because there are not many places where Xerox's products really need to use high-tech materials such as monocrystalline silicon, and it is somewhat inappropriate to buy this monocrystalline silicon research institute.

Perhaps seeing Yao Fei's puzzlement, Kearns shook his head and continued to smile, but he didn't mean anything to explain.

On the surface, this is the case, but in fact, Kearns's participation in the auction is still due to Yao Fei's factor.

Without the emergence of Yao Fei, Xerox would still not be able to come up with new products, and the company's operation would not have been improved.

The consequence of poor management is that you will face a fiscal deficit, not to mention sitting here and bidding calmly, treating money as a number.

At the same time, for the high-tech material of monocrystalline silicon, the experts of the Parker Institute are also unanimously optimistic, coupled with the comprehensive investigation of the marketing department, which led to Kearns's itinerary this time.

Relying on the sales of inkjet printers, Xerox has made a lot of money, and this time it is ready to take out 200 million funds to acquire Brady Monocrystalline Silicon Research Institute, to be honest, this is really not a lot of pressure on Xerox's finances.

"141 million ......"

"153 million ......"

There is still no intention of staying, but the price increase is slowly starting to become smaller.

Seeing that the price increase was slackening, the first bidder, that is, Warburg Pincus's own trust, was ruthless and quoted a price of "160 million".

This is beyond the bottom line given to him by Warburg Pincus, but what Warburg Pincus promised him is that as long as it exceeds Warburg Pincus's bottom line, no matter how high his price is, as long as there is a follow-up bid, Warburg Pincus will pay him according to one-ten-thousandth of the part that exceeds the bottom line.

Fortunately, after the price pull just now, the bidding began to increase steadily, and very slowly, the price has come to 180 million.

In Yao Fei's opinion, this number is already the value of this research center, but don't forget that this is an auction now, and it is normal to generate a premium.

Until this time, only NEC, Canon, Sony Alliance, HP, IBM, Intel, Siemens, Xerox, and Amson Semiconductor were still in competition.

"186 million ......"

A one-time increase of six million, this is almost the bottom line of Amson Semiconductor, if the bid is higher, Keith Jackson will have to consider giving up.

Acquisition is indeed the fastest way to develop, there is no one, but it also depends on the price paid, not to mention that the acquisition of Brady Monocrystalline Silicon Research Institute on the one hand wants to integrate the strength of the technology to expand production capacity, on the other hand, it also wants to continue to lead the market.

But apparently others will not be intimidated by him, and then Intel's Moore also raised the price again.

"190 million ......"

It still maintains a high growth rate, and at this price, everyone is fighting for will.

"196 million ......"

"199 million ......"

The two giants, Siemens and Xerox, continue to follow.

"Two hundred million ......"

IBM, the blue giant, is not ambiguous in terms of price.

"250 million ......"

Suddenly, a price that is not fluent was quoted, and when they heard this number, everyone was taken aback, this is crazy, a one-time price increase of 50 million, this is completely the effect of using green dollar bills as dark money.

The auctioneer on the stage, who was originally full of expectations, was also stunned, with his many years of auction work experience, the most difficult price increase is usually relatively small, how can I see a one-time crazy increase of 50 million like this, this world is too crazy.

And the person who shouted this price was Kobayashi Hiroshi, which was also the result of his discussion with Jiro Odanakamura and Dai Ibuka, because from the very beginning, the three companies were an overall joint bidding, and it seemed that 2.5 billion was a lot, but there was not much that was really apportioned to these three companies.

And now is the time when the wind of the Yamato nation is sweeping the world, and it is too easy for them to make money, and spending tens of millions of dollars more is really nothing to them.

The scene suddenly fell silent, just like at the beginning, everyone present was in a state of silence, but it could be seen that the Kobayashi trio was very satisfied with the effect they made, and together they estimated that they should have won this auction.
