Chapter 237: Auction
At nine o'clock in the morning of May 10, the auction of the City Furniture Factory was officially held in the conference room of the Jingyuan Hotel. Zhuang Fujin attended the auction with Li Yuping, the financial director of the technology industrial company.
Since it is the first time in the history of Baicheng City to sell bankrupt and bankrupt enterprises through auction, the city attaches great importance to it and has sent heavyweight leaders to suppress the formation. At the same time, it also attracted a large number of media reporters from inside and outside the province to shoot and interview.
The first part of the auction is, of course, the leader's speech. After the relevant leaders finished speaking, the host of the auction gave a detailed introduction to the contents of the auction objects.
Subsequently, the auctioneer specially invited from Shencheng came to the front desk and read out the bidding rules: "The reserve price of the furniture factory is 1.1 million yuan, and the bidder will increase by 100,000 yuan each time. After the bid has been announced three times, if no one raises the bid, the last bidder wins!"
After reading the rules, he glanced at the crowd in the room, and after a moment of silence, he announced loudly, "I announce that the auction of the Baicheng Furniture Factory is now open!"
A total of six companies signed up to participate in the auction. Later, one company did not pay the bidding deposit in time and automatically withdrew, so there were still five companies left to participate in the auction, and the bidding number plate numbers were 1 to 5.
The number plate in Zhuang Fujin's hand is number four, which is a bit unlucky to be honest. But at this point, he didn't care about the unlucky matter of numbers, and his eyes widened and his ears pricked up to listen to the offers of all parties.
In line with Geng Wenyang's principle of watching the battle first and then fighting the decisive battle explained in advance, at the beginning, he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and watched the other people's hot bidding with cold eyes.
At the beginning of the auction, the No. 1 bidder, Pak Cheng Chemical Factory, first raised a sign: "1.2 million!"
Among the five bidders, No. 1 Baicheng Chemical Factory and No. 3 Baicheng Paper Mill were invited to participate in the auction, in fact, they played the role of a façade to raise prices. Therefore, they dare to shout when the price is low, and they dare not shout again when the price rises to a certain extent, otherwise if it is smashed in their hands, they will smash the play.
Driven by No. 1 and No. 3, bidders are bidding higher and higher. It started with 1.1 million yuan and soon broke through the 2 million yuan mark.
As soon as the 2 million yuan mark was crossed, the local bidders immediately gave up the bid. The person in charge of the paper mill auction got up directly and left the table, and complained before leaving: "Two million to buy a broken furniture factory, whoever buys it is a fool!"
After a short period of effort, there were only two left in the bidding table: Xiaori Guoshu Club represented by Qiu Hongxiang and Zhuang Fujin's Baicheng Wenyang Technology Industrial Company.
The auctioneer excitedly said, "Two million at a time! Is there any more to ask for?"
Seeing that no one was silent, he was about to shout two million twice, only to see Zhuang Fujin slowly hold up the No. 4 sign and say, "Two million and one million!"
"Two million 1 million!" The auctioneer was even more excited: "Two million and one million! Is there anyone else who is following the price?"
The corners of Qiu Hongxiang's mouth curled, and he raised a sign as if demonstrating: "Two million two hundred thousand!"
When the auctioneer saw that the bid had reached an incredible 2.2 million, he was overjoyed and said, "2.2 million! Is there anyone else with you?"
Zhuang Fujin held up the number plate again, and said expressionlessly: "Two million and three million!"
Qiu Hongxiang never expected that the other party would dare to follow, turned his head to look at him, hesitated slightly, and said with some confidence: "Two million and four million!"
"Two and a half million!" Zhuang Fujin did not hesitate and immediately raised the number plate.
Li Yuping, who accompanied Zhuang Fujin to the auction site, heard him report the amount of 2.5 million, and immediately became very nervous and said, "Mr. Zhuang, be cautious!"
Zhuang Fujin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart."
Two and a half million is already the highest price given to him by the boss behind the scenes, Qiu Hongxiang gritted his teeth and said, "Two million and six hundred thousand!"
Zhuang Fujin smiled indifferently, then held up the sign and said, "Two million and seven million!"
Where is Qiu Hongxiang willing to admit defeat, and he has the heart to ask for the price again, but he has no confidence, so he can only put down the brand unwillingly.
"Two ,700,000 once!" The auctioneer looked around the room, but saw that there were few people left.
"Two million seven thousand twice!"
Seeing Qiu Hongxiang shrinking on the chair without moving, the auctioneer waited for a while and said loudly, "Two million seven thousand three times!"
There was no one in the room, and the auctioneer raised his hammer and said, "Woo!" announced: "The final price is 2.7 million, and the fourth buyer wins the bid!"
Zhuang Fujin stood up with a smile on his face, but he admired it in his heart: "Wen Yang said that Xiaori's offer would not exceed three million, but I didn't expect him to guess it! Winning the bid of 2.7 million will save us 300,000!"
From the starting price of 1.1 million yuan, it was stacked all the way up, and finally reached 2.7 million yuan, which more than doubled. The media reporters quickly focused on Zhuang Fujin, and they were anxious to find out what kind of enterprise this was, and they were willing to pay a high price of 2.7 million yuan to buy the closed and bankrupt city furniture factory.
Zhuang Fujin said unhurriedly under the flash light: "We are Baicheng Wenyang Technology Industrial Company, which is a technology-intensive enterprise engaged in the research and development and production of high-tech products."
He paused and looked around at the reporters and said, "The reason why our company spent a huge amount of money to buy the furniture factory in the city is to protect our traditional carpentry skills from being lost overseas, or lost." c
Reporters originally thought that the company bought the furniture factory in order to expand production or change production into the furniture industry, but they didn't expect that people's pursuit and realm were so noble, and they couldn't help but feel a little more good and admired.
Zhuang Fujin hit the railway while it was hot: "Adhering to the purpose of promoting traditional culture, saving traditional crafts and innovating traditional skills, Mr. Geng Wenyang, chairman of our company, is determined to develop modern high-tech products while making every effort to protect and inherit the cultural treasures handed down by our ancestors."
His words immediately promoted Geng Wenyang to the noble status of cultural protection and inheritor. Reporters inquired one after another:
"Who is Geng Wenyang?"
"How old is he?"
"What did he do before?"
Zhuang Fujin took the opportunity to promote, "Our chairman was awarded the Top Ten Outstanding Entrepreneurs in the North District of the Mine last year, and not long ago, he was awarded the honorary title of the Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons in the city. This time, I was able to preserve the traditional carpentry craftsmanship of the furniture factory, and it was also carefully arranged by the chairman. I hope that all media reporters will have the opportunity to get to know our chairman."
In the evening of the same day, the Baicheng news program officially broadcast the relevant reports of the auction, including the picture of Zhuang Fujin being interviewed. The first thing he said in the interview was: "We are Baicheng Wenyang Technology Industrial Company, which is a technology-intensive enterprise engaged in the research and development and production of high-tech products."
The next thing he said was even more eye-catching: "The reason why our company spent a lot of money to buy the furniture factory in the city is to protect our traditional carpentry skills from being lost overseas or lost."
Two days later, the Baicheng Story program broadcast the entire process of the auction in detail, and with Zhuang Fujin's subdued Baicheng local accent, Geng Wenyang instantly became a new celebrity widely talked about by the local people after dinner.
