Chapter 60 Sugar Mills

"Everyone, good afternoon, welcome to this auction held by the Huo family, I am Xiao Jing, the auctioneer of this auction! Here I wish you all the best to be able to auction your favorite factories and return with a full load! Okay! Without further ado, let's take a look at the first factory in this auction!"

"The Defu sugar processing plant! This new factory, which has only been established for one year, has 236 machines, all of which were imported from Europe last year, and is working very well! In addition, this factory has 467 workers! It is able to produce a steady stream of different kinds of cane sugar for his boss! Now, the fixed assets of this cane sugar processing plant are 1,250,000 taels of silver, and its profitability is 250,000 taels of silver per year! Oh my goodness! What a huge number! 250,000 taels a year! You can make a factory in just six years, what are you waiting for? Raise the sign in your hand and bid bravely!"

"The reserve price of Defu Cane Sugar Factory is 1.25 million taels, and the price increase is not less than 10,000 taels each time!

"1.28 million taels!"

As soon as his words fell, someone in the audience couldn't wait to raise the sign in their hands!

"1,300,000 taels!" "1,350,000 taels!"

"Okay! No. 38 has already reached 1,350,000 taels! A huge factory can earn you 250,000 taels of silver every year! So much money is waiting for you, what are you waiting for?"

"Father, we ......"

Looking at his son's words, Guo Dongquan nodded slowly!

Seeing his father's agreement, Guo Chen hurriedly raised the number plate in his hand and shouted: "1.4 million taels!!"

"1,400,000 taels!!Mr. 34 is out to 1,400,000 taels!!Is there a higher price?1,400,000 taels!......" Xiao Jingshen was overjoyed, and hurriedly agitated.

"1,450,000 taels!!" Just when everyone thought that the price had been set, a middle-aged man wearing a robe and a grim look stood up!

"1,450,000 taels!!1,450,000 taels, Mr. Forty-Eight is out to 1,450,000 taels!!Is there anything higher?" As he spoke, his eyes looked at the Guo father and son sitting at a table!

"Father, what should we do?" When it comes to such a huge transaction, Guo Chen and Guo Quan are already a bit of a godless and ownerless! You must know that this time they put together a lot of money, and it was not easy to get 1.55 million silver! If the factory can't be auctioned, when the time comes, the profits borrowed from the silver and the favors that need to be repaid will let the Guo family lose all the money they earned last year! Although it can't be said that it will hurt the muscles and bones at that time, it will be a big loss of vitality and slow down the development of the Guo family!

"Chen'er! We can't add it like this anymore! Put all the money in our hands on it! Take a gamble!" Guo Dongquan thought about it, and suddenly said in a solemn tone.

"What, father, you're not kidding, are you!!! If we put all the money up, then what will we use to pay the wages of the workers in the future, even if the sugar factory is bought, how can we start work without money?" Guo Quan said hurriedly.

"It's okay, I've thought about it! Our family has our own sugarcane land, and we can solve some of the raw materials when the time comes! And after buying the factory, we can also find the Huo family's money bank and use the factory as a mortgage! As long as we open the factory! We will be able to make money, and we will definitely pay it off in a few years! Don't worry!

"Well, Father!, I'll listen to you!!"

"1,550,000 taels"

"Whoa...... "Listen to this huge number of 100,000 taels of silver that has directly flipped up, the wide and crowded hall is like a drop of water dripping from an oil pot, and the surging discussion is about to overturn the roof!!

Xiao Jing was also shocked by this number, but he still reacted quickly! He shouted in surprise: "1.55 million taels!!Mr. No. 34 is out to 1.55 million taels!!Is there anything higher?"

Seeing the auctioneer's turned eyes, the cold middle-aged man lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly shook his head, and finally did not bid again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, 1,550,000 taels!!A big factory that earns 250,000 taels of silver a year!! How affordable! After buying it for four or five years, you will be able to become a rich man that everyone envies!

Listening to the auctioneer's encouraging words over and over again, Guo Chen clenched his fists tightly, his back was completely soaked with sweat due to excessive tension! But at this time, he couldn't care so much! At this moment, all his attention was attracted by the auction on the high platform that was related to the fate of the Guo family in the future!

"Is there any gentleman who bids higher!!1,550,000 taels a time!!" After more than a minute of seeing that no one offered a higher price, Xiao Jing raised the auction hammer in his hand!

"1,550,000 taels for the second time!!" There is still no one below who offers a higher price!

"1.55 million for the third time!!Well, the first lot of this auction, the Defu Cane Sugar Processing Factory, has been sold, and the transaction price is 1.55 million taels of silver!!"

"Oh, that's great!" After hearing that his family had finally taken down the factory, Guo Quan, who was relatively young, couldn't suppress his excitement, jumped up and hugged his eldest brother Guo Chen next to him tightly!

"yes! Finally took it down!" Guo Chen muttered to himself with a long sigh. The atmosphere just now was so tense that the sound of his heartbeat could be clearly transmitted to his ears!

At this time, Guo Dongquan, who usually pays great attention to etiquette and tutoring, did not stop the rude behavior of his two sons! He touched his beard with a smile on his face, and the excitement in his heart had slowly calmed down! After taking this factory, as long as the Guo family does not make mistakes in the future, the rise of the Guo family can already be expected!

"Oh my God! Is this poor and backward China? Bastard! All the swindlers in Europe deserve to go to hell! What a fertile land it is, and it is full of endless business opportunities! I used to think that the East in Makaro's Travels was a beautiful dream! Now I realize what a mistake I have made! God, this is so rich here! Lee, can you believe it? I have fallen in love with this place! I have decided, I want to stay in the East, I want to find a Chinese girl to marry, I want to stay here!"

Seeing his friend screaming nervously, Li Wenbin hurriedly comforted: "Yes, yes! Jerry, I know, but our task now is to take pictures of that damn fishing company! Otherwise, we will go back empty-handed! Do you understand?"

"Yes, Lee, you're right, we're going to take a picture of the company!" Jerry said quickly after coming back to his senses. Now he has raised this fishing company, which was not too important, to a new height, and occupies a great position in his heart.

"But you also saw the situation just now, I'm afraid we don't have enough money!"

Patting his friend on the shoulder, Jerry smiled and said, "Don't worry, old classmate! Although this auction is even crazier than in Europe! But this time I brought a million pounds of HSBC cashier's check, plus the silver you brought, enough for us to buy it!"

"Fu Bo, this auctioneer is good, where did you find it?" Huo Shan stood behind the stage and looked at it for a while, then turned around and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Hehe, we found it from a foreign auction house in Shanghai!" He was also very happy to get the young master's approval!

"Well, leave him behind!

"Yes, young master!"

Shaking his stiff neck, he was already a little tired after standing for a while! Now, Huo Shan doesn't want to stay here anymore!

"Fu Bo, look at the situation just now, this auction is a success! It just so happens that there are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the mountain villa, so you will be in charge here! I'll go back first!" Huo Shan turned his head and said.

"Understood, young master, I will report to you in detail on the situation here in the evening!"

"Well, okay! Thunderson, let's go!"
