Chapter 309: The Lost Man
The figure of 1.3 million suddenly jumped out, bringing the entire auction page to a halt again.
For those investors, the price is not a problem, but more importantly, what this lunch can bring to themselves.
Since last year's economic downturn, investors who have experienced what may have been the worst economic downturn in history have lost their former glory. Wall Street's elite are still alive and kicking, with high salaries and good cars, enjoying an enviable life. But in the entire field of financial investment, the people who are struggling are still the majority.
This is also one of the reasons why this year's Buffett lunch is not as crowded with the people of the world two years ago.
As the most successful investor in the past, Buffett himself suffered some losses, which slightly dimmed the brilliance of the myth. Many people are thinking about what they can get after spending millions of dollars, and if it is just media attention, the price of this advertisement is indeed higher.
Compared with last year and the year before that, which were still able to reach a price of more than two million, this year's auction is actually a bit cold.
The $1.3 million offer is enough to put a lot of people off, and those who intend to use Buffett to make a difference in their own worth have different ideas, but price is always the first thing they think about.
Compared with the calmness of the bidders, the media that did the online live broadcast were as excited as chickens, and they excitedly released the amount, so that the whole world knew that there were still people who were willing to spend such a sky-high price to contribute to Buffett's charity. The name of the god of investment has not fallen due to the economic cold, but has a tendency to rise.
Yang Bingbing's account was an anonymous bidder, which caused a lot of speculation. Many people think that 1.3 million may just be a stone throwing to ask for directions, and the price will be increased in the future. The offer given by Su Xiaoqing really shocked most people, so that the offer stayed at the threshold of 1.3 million and stood still.
Su Yifan really didn't have the heart to continue playing the game this time, so he turned off the game and sat next to Yang Bingbing, looking at the webpage on his laptop.
Cheng Shuixin used a standard operating posture, with one hand on the keyboard and one hand pressing the mouse, with a dignified expression.
Su Xiaoqing also squeezed over, sat down next to Su Yifan, and pressed his computer on his lap.
"I've also landed on it, you can rest assured that you can bid, don't worry."
Yang Bingbing is not as dignified as Cheng Shuixin, her mentality is better, she just keeps playing with the pen in her hand, and her eyes are focused on the screen.
"The battle has just begun." Su Xiaoqing said, "Strive to control within 1.5 million, and this time the bid-rigging is not as fierce as in previous years." ”
Cheng Shuixin's fingers were trembling slightly, even though she had experienced a lot of things before, the transfer and stay of one million or hundreds of thousands of dollars manipulated by her own hands still made her feel that this was a test. A tougher test than the college entrance examination and final exams.
Zhang Yao was still not interested in these things, but she still jumped off the small sofa and sat down, ran to a few people with cartoon socks, and looked at the web pages on the screen next to Cheng Shuixin.
The battle was not as fierce as expected, and after an offer of $1.3 million, many people were already thinking of quitting. Yang Bingbing looked at a few numbers that barely exceeded 1.3 million, and asked after a while, "We bid in the last ten minutes?" ”
"Considering the network latency, five minutes is fine at the earliest." Su Xiaoqing said, "You can set a psychological price and then talk about it." ”
Su Yifan agreed: "I think 1.8 million is the most." ”
Yang Bingbing asked tentatively: "Two million?" ”
Cheng Shuixin hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said negatively: "He doesn't have such a big face this year, and he definitely won't be able to reach two million." ”
Su Xiao chuckled and glanced at Cheng Shuixin: "Adjusted?" ”
"No problem." Cheng Shuixin bit her hairband with her mouth, tied her hair up, tied it into a beautiful high ponytail, and her gaze was more determined than just now, "I think we can win." ”
Su Xiao chuckled and touched his computer screen with one hand.
"Well, I will raise the price to 1.5 million in a while, creating the illusion that there are two wronged people who want to do it."
This kind of scene of two huge shares bidding for each other is undoubtedly a good way to clear the scene, Yang Bingbing nodded: "It's troublesome, sister." ”
"It's not like you, so polite." Su Xiaoqing's finger pressed on the screen, "Wait another ten minutes, I'll bid." ”
Ten minutes is like ten years, and Su Yifan learned in these ten minutes that waiting is the most boring and long thing.
Ten minutes later, Su Xiaoqing made a bid.
$1.5 million, more than the $130,000 quoted at the time.
The media was in an uproar again, and the page was moved again.
"Is it easier?" Su Xiao asked lightly.
"It feels so good." Cheng Shuixin smiled happily, "Sister Qing, lend me a hug on your thighs." ”
The atmosphere was a little more relaxed than just now, and Su Yifan was not so tense, and suddenly found that Su Xiaoqing was gently scratching his back with his fingers.
After glancing at Su Xiaoqing and discovering the playfulness in her eyes, Su Yifan wanted to say something, but felt that whatever he said now seemed redundant.
Su Xiaoqing teased Su Yifan and said to Cheng Shuixin: "This kind of online auction is actually not very exciting, you can go to the real auction to see the excitement when you have time, that kind of is interesting." ”
Cheng Shuixin has always lowered her eyebrows and pleasing to Su Xiaoqing, and responded: "Sister Xie Lu, Sister Xie Qing, without you, I might still be panicking now." ”
"You can do a good job." Su Xiaoqing said casually, "It's still a while before it ends, let's continue watching." ”
Because the page didn't move for a while, everyone started chatting in a haphazard manner. Su Xiaoqing's hand was still on Su Yifan's back and didn't move, and his fingers deftly flicked over Su Yifan's T-shirt, dotting on his skin through the fabric. That feeling made Su Yifan feel itchy in his heart, and he wanted to turn his head and pinch Su Xiaoqing.
Hey? Su Yifan was taken aback by the thoughts in his heart, he had never thought of pinching Su Xiaoqing before, now what's wrong?
Because Su Xiaoqing likes pranks too much, does he like to mess around?
Su Xiaoqing's offer shocked most bidders, and it was only half an hour later that a new number was added, that is, a rise of several thousand dollars.
Yang Bingbing and Cheng Shuixin smashed a $1.6 million outlet, and the accounts that wanted to steal chickens disappeared.
Su Xiao added $10,000 slowly, and Cheng Shuixin added another $10,000.
By the time the two men added up to $1.65 million, the auction was almost over.
"Add another $20,000 and it's over." Su Xiaoqing said to Cheng Shuixin, who had been in charge of the operation, "The last winner is you." ”
Cheng Shuixin was no longer as excited as she was when the auction started just now, nodded at Su Xiao, and entered the number.
The media who couldn't wait for a long time have gone crazy, and the price of the anonymous auction finally reached $1.67 million, and the candidates for this year's Warren Buffett's sky-high lunch have been decided! The financial news and media pages of major portals are frantically jumping out of windows to announce the news.
As for who is the bid-rigging and who will eventually attend this lunch, we have to wait for the follow-up.
$1.67 million is already the lowest price of Buffett's lunches in recent times, and it is still shocking enough.
Seeing the results shown, Cheng Shuixin's expression, which had always seemed particularly energetic, collapsed suddenly, and she fell on the sofa with her head up.
"It's over......"
"It's over." Su Xiaoqing closed the computer and got up, "Mrs. Yang will solve the rest of the work, and all we have to do is celebrate." ”
Cheng Shuixin asked, "Sister Qing, don't you want to go?" ”
"There's no point in me going." Su Xiao smiled lightly and explained, "In principle, I am a person in the real industry, and I have nothing to say to this kind of financial investor. I'm still a little interested in a technology summit or something, but unfortunately the current technology is basically focused on civilian use. ”
Cheng Shuixin was very smart, she could hear that Su Xiaoqing didn't want to continue talking about herself, so she didn't continue to ask. A few people cleaned up the computer, stood up and stretched their arms and waists, and for a while, the girls in the room made up a quite beautiful picture, which made Su Yifan's heart ripple when he watched it next to him.
After the truancy plan was over, Su Yifan called Yu Zheng and asked the chairman of the student union to skip class and go to the bank to get a contract with him. Yu Zheng didn't shirk or say anything, and went out directly to meet Su Yifan.
After the five bundles of brand-new RMB and a paper contract were completed, Yu Zheng sat in the small hall prepared by the bank for VIP customers and asked Su Yifan: "Something in the afternoon?" ”
Su Yifan didn't want to say anything, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was a good opportunity to scare Yu Zheng, so he simply said: "I went to watch something on the news." ”
"Oh?" Yu Zheng was interested, "I don't see anything big happening in the local news, right?" ”
Su Yifan said: "The international financial version can be seen casually. ”
Yu Zheng was stunned for a moment, took out his mobile phone and clicked on the financial text message he received just now, and his face changed greatly.
"You ......"
Su Yifan shrugged: "It's just onlookers, don't be so surprised, right?" ”
Yu Zhengcai didn't believe Su Yifan's nonsense, he finally lost his calm, looked at Su Yifan a little dejectedly, and didn't speak for a long time.
Su Yifan felt that he was so bad now, but since the whole thing had settled, Yu Zheng was not the kind of person who really dared to talk more, so it didn't hurt to tell him.
"It's not me anyway, you should know who Lu Dao is."
Yu Zheng's eyes were still a little dilated, and when he looked at Su Yifan, his pupils didn't know which way to fly.
"I should have thought of it a long time ago...... She has that qualification. ”
"You just need to know the way." Su Yifan continued to owe, "She doesn't want others to know." ”
"No wonder it's an anonymous ......"
Yu Zheng naturally pays attention to this kind of thing, and he even imagines bidding on his own personal strength in the future, of course, provided that Buffett can wait until the day he rises to sell lunch. Now I suddenly heard that a few students who skipped class in the afternoon actually went to shoot Buffett's lunch, and the impact on him can be imagined.
I still think of it as a dream, and others have made it happen...... This feels like confidently planning to brush up on the early boss of an online game, and suddenly find that someone else has completed the first kill of the final task two minutes ago.
Su Yifan felt that he was very satisfied with Yu Zheng's reaction, he got up and continued to pat the shoulder of the student union president, turned around and left the bank.
"Rest assured, Boss Yu, we will not delay your work."
Yu Zheng turned his head and watched Su Yifan's back leave, feeling that the shout of Boss Yu just now was particularly mocking and harsh.
