Since this gathering is private, there are no invitations or passes. There is also no very strict audit. It's just that everyone agrees on the time, place, and bidding.

So Catherine and the female bodyguard just reported their names and the company they belonged to, and they also entered the venue. And, found a relatively quiet corner, and quietly watched Shen Li sitting in the field. and a group of super-rich people around who seem to have a lot of backgrounds.

Presumably, those luxury cars in the parking lot were driven by these rich people.

Shen Li didn't know that Catherine quietly followed her into the room. All he cares about now is the question of belonging to the team. How much money does it need to spend to buy the team. None of the others cared. Anyway, the game will reimburse most of this money, and if you don't buy it, you won't buy it for nothing.

Everyone in the arena knew that the other party was their competitor. So I don't communicate much. Besides, they are usually pampered, and they all have their own arrogance.

Shen Li sat in the venue like no one, waiting for the bidding to officially start. However, at this moment, a middle-aged man in black casual clothes entered the venue very casually. The man is the current owner of the Chelsea team, named Brad.

Due to the bad business and the team's poor performance this year, the team had to be sold.

'Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to join us, the Chelsea team's transfer agenda. After three years of running the team, I am actually very reluctant. It's just that due to something wrong with the company, I haven't taken good care of the team in the past two years. So this season's performance is obvious to all, and I don't want to say anything more......"

Brad spoke as casually as he dressed. The general meaning of the opening statement is that with his current situation, of course, he wants the team to sell as high as possible. So there will be a bid for the Chelsea team later, and the one with the highest price will win. There is no prejudice on his side, whether it is a local rich person in the UK or a rich foreign person, all of them can bid out with a clear price.

Catherine, who was sitting in the row behind everyone, suddenly looked at the boss Brad in surprise when she heard this, and then looked at Shen Li's back.

"It turns out... It turns out that the purpose of his coming to England is to compete for the Chelsea team?" Catherine, who usually likes football, is very clear about the performance of Premier League giants Chelsea.

Chelsea have won one UEFA Champions League, one Europa League, two European Cup Winners' Cups and six English top-flight titles...... The market value of the entire team is as high as nearly $1.1 billion!

With such a high price, Catherine thought that her family would not have the courage to compete. Because the market capitalization is as high as $1.1 billion, the final competitive price will definitely go to the next level......

Catherine suddenly recalled that it was no wonder that Shen Li said at the airport that he had only come to London to discuss VR business. At the time, she was still angry, but now that she thinks about it, she really blushes a little for herself...

The team's transfer bid was not an official auction, and no professional auctioneer was present. Some are just local tyrants present who bid at will, whoever has the courage and the money is more, then the team will belong to whom.

When the transfer bidding officially began, a blonde man sitting not far from Shen Li's left hand took the lead in holding up a sign and signaling, "$300 million!"

$300 million is 2 billion yuan. But for these world-class heroes on the scene, it's just a warm-up. So no one in the room was surprised. On the contrary, if the blonde man shouts out 30 million US dollars, he will definitely be despised and even despised by many people...

"$350 million. Another middle-aged foreigner in a suit raised the bidding of the number plate in his hand and said.

Then the level of the crowd's bids increased by $50 million per round.

"$400 million!"

"$450 million!"

"$500 million!"

......

Shen Li, who was sitting in the field, patiently waited for the price to rise. With his character, he naturally will not participate in the small fights in the early stage. What you want is a blockbuster and deter your opponents.

However, Shen Li waited left and right, but found that the team price started at $700 million and increased at a rate of $20 million per round. And there were many fewer people participating in the bidding, resulting in the price he was waiting for was not reached for a long time.

According to the data given by the auction halo, in addition to him, there are two other people in the field who are very interested in the team. At present, the psychological price of the two is expected to be 1.15 billion and 1.2 billion US dollars respectively......

So Shen Li simply raised the No. 7 hand in his hand, and then said lightly, "1.2 billion US dollars." ”

As soon as the words fell, almost all the guests in the audience, even the team owner Brad, all looked at him with great attention!

From everyone's eyes, it can be clearly felt that their bid span for Shen Li has jumped from 760 million US dollars to 1.2 billion at once, indicating that they are under great pressure. After all, the psychological price of many rich people is around 1.1 billion, but they dare not exceed 1.2 billion.

Including Catherine, who was quietly watching the movements in the field, couldn't help but be slightly shocked by Shen Li's sudden $1.2 billion bid. You must know that his father wanted to buy it, and the Gulfstream G450 private jet was only 30 million US dollars!

And Shen Li's fluttering sentence is the price of 40 Gulfstream G450s...... For example, if these 40 planes were stacked together, the scene would be very luxurious and spectacular......

Many guests felt the pressure from Shen Li. They all withdrew from the auction. This also means that next, the on-site bidding belongs to the real bigwig-level figures.

"1.21 billion US dollars!" At this time, a middle-aged foreigner who had been dormant in the field for a long time raised the No. 3 number plate in his hand to compete with Shen Li.

The middle-aged foreigner's name is Paul Allen, and his family is engaged in the automobile tire industry. The white Aston Martin ONE77 in the parking lot is his car.

Seeing a competitor popping up, Shen Li raised his hand directly without thinking about it, and then gave the other party a "straight punch" and said, "1.3 billion US dollars." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, some of the guests present couldn't help but be so surprised that they made a sound! Especially Paul Allen, who was competing with him, turned around and looked at Shen Li!

It's not that the guests haven't seen the world, but at such a price stage, every additional $10 million is a great test of psychological affordability. Not to mention that like Shen Li, who is so bold to add 100 million US dollars at a time! It is simply much more powerful than the super-rich like them......
