Blackstone Code

Chapter 275: Unspoken rules, competitors, questioners

Joe Griman, who returned to his seat, looked a little solemn, and Lynch's reminder made him feel... annoyed into anger at first.

He is very crazy now. Everyone in the bank knows that those who were fired lost their jobs because they stood on the wrong team when Joe Griman struggled with his opponent.

What’s more frightening is that the president of the bank also supports Joe Griman very much, and all the management are on his side. This also makes him in the limelight, and deepens the statement that he will stay as the president of Sabine. .

But immediately, he felt a slight tingling on his scalp, and he immediately realized that there was a problem with his attitude.

He began to reflect on whether he had done anything stupid this time, and he began to calm down.

In fact, this situation is not an isolated case, it will happen to some dictators most of the time.

No one dared to question the authority of the dictator, which made the dictators become arrogant and eventually ended up because of it. Fortunately, Lynch even reminded him and made him wake up.

As time went on, the auction began, and this closed-door auction seemed a bit unusual...normal from the beginning.

Unlike the lively scene of most auctions, the hall is not very lively, no one whispers to each other, everyone sits in their own seats.

The assets to be auctioned this time include all the things of the light industrial enterprise under the command of Ristoan, real estate, land, production machinery, some raw materials backlogged in the warehouse, and some things that people like Lynch look down on. For example, a car.

Cars have many values ​​for business people. Some companies buy an astonishing number of luxury cars each year, and their prices are amazing. Many ordinary people don't understand why these companies have such a demand.

Of course, some people will give some explanations. For example, in order to maintain the image of a company, luxury cars seem to have gradually become the face of a company. This is actually one of the distorted social cultures under the background of the times.

Whether a company has the ability and strength, its manager, its president cannot show it to others with hundreds of thousands of millions of deposits when negotiating business with others, then how should it be proved?

At this time, luxury cars played such a role, which reflected the strength of a company from the side.

More importantly, these cars can be used as asset mortgages to banks to pay the interest that the company needs to cash or the loan principal due. They only spend a small amount of money to obtain the right to use for a long time. Once they change hands, they can even pay the original price. This is why companies are willing to buy a large number of luxury cars.

At today’s auction, there are a lot of luxury cars, as well as a lot of exquisite sofas, artworks, and some things for enjoyment. These are all searched from a light industrial enterprise under the Ristowan Group. .

From the beginning, the auction entered the main topic. A quasi-new car that was produced the year before and sold for RMB 32,800 was successfully auctioned by an ordinary participant at a low price of RMB 4,200. , What is more surprising is that he has no competitors.

If someone pays a little attention, you will find that this bidder only raised the card once and became a bystander. After that, he did not raise the card again. This person became the background board of the auction at this moment. .

Next is the second car, the third car... the first set of sofas... the first modern oil painting... the first artwork...

These commodities at auction were auctioned at very low prices, about one-eighth of the original price, and sometimes a little more, such as works of art, but the price is not too high, probably Two-thirds of the original price.

Generally speaking, the whole auction is operating in a way that is difficult for many people to understand. Many people may not know how these people guarantee that when one person raises the placard, others will not raise the placard. Everyone is very tacitly not to compete and let the price. Always stay at the starting price.

Did they discuss it before this?

Yes, they have discussed that the entire bank's employees have joined in, from the teller in the business hall to the manager sitting in the office, everyone who is eligible to participate in this closed-door auction will participate.

Even before this auction, a small auction has actually been held to price some competing products and determine whose hands each item will fall into.

Everyone will abide by these rules. After the auction is over, these bidders will also put a portion of the money into the account of a small vault of similar activities, and use it when there are any activities in the future.

Hundreds of ordinary goods finally completed the entire auction process quickly with the starting price. In fact, the city hall is also very clear about the situation here. You must know that the city hall and the court will have supervisors, but they also acquiesced in this happening. , Or just sit back and watch this happen.

From the perspective of the entire auction process, it fully complies with the requirements of the federal law and charter. This is a legal, reasonable, and well-founded auction. No one can fault it, and that is enough.

Of course, in order to avoid excessive banks, the City Hall will first ask someone to assess how much these assets are worth before entrusting the bank to auction, and then they will quote a price they think is appropriate to the bank. This price is the bottom line of the City Hall.

If you don't touch the bottom line, there won't be any problems.

Small things are selling quickly, followed by the plot, which is a big thing.

The land of this factory is close to the city circle. According to the current development speed of Sabine, it will not exceed ten years at most. It will be included in the city circle. At that time, its price will inevitably rise sharply. .

Some entrepreneurs who were invited by the bank gradually started to cheer up. The bank sent them invitation letters. It must be because they expressed interest in these things, or because these people have a lot of money in their pockets. The bank hopes that they can spend the money. In this way, the bank can also get part of the benefits.

Affected by the economic situation at home and abroad, the starting price of the auction is not very high, 850,000 yuan. To be honest, this price is already very low. Not long after the auctioneer reported the starting price, some people started to raise the placard, and then There are competitors.

The price of the first piece of land was finally sold for 1.11 million, which also added a lot of smiles to Joe Griman, who was sitting on the side, and the higher total turnover also meant that his work was done. good.

A few pieces of land were quickly sold out after a short and less fierce competition, and the next thing was the machinery.

Few people are interested in these machines. It doesn’t make much sense to buy them. Most people showed lack of interest. When Lynch quoted the starting price and planned to end this auction project and start the next project. , Suddenly someone raised a placard to compete with him.

He was a little surprised to look at a gentleman who was not far from him. He looked about forty years old, with brown hair and a beautiful beard that had been carefully groomed around his lips.

Lynch had no impression of this person, and Sabine did not seem to have heard of any famous capitalist with such a circle of beards.

Lynch looked at this guy, and this guy also sensed Lynch. He smiled at Lynch and nodded in greeting.

The sudden appearance of competitors made some things uncontrollable. After Lynch tried to increase the price two more times, the gentleman followed closely, and Joe Griman, who was sitting on the stage, also saw it. wrong.

After a brief exchange between him and Lynch through their eyes, Lynch said that he would call and communicate with the investors behind him, hoping that the auction would be temporarily suspended for fifteen minutes.

Joe Griman naturally agreed, and the guy competing with Lynch also unexpectedly agreed to this request.

"What's the problem with this guy?" Lynch frowned and asked in the lounge.

Joe Griman's expression is also not very good-looking, the most unlikely place where there is a problem is that his work is not in place.

You must know that Lynch also gave him a lot of support and help in helping him seize power. He should return Lynch for his help. This is the human relationship in Baylor society. You hope that others will find it difficult for you. Help you when you need help, then you have to help others when they need help.

Lynch helped him, but he didn't help Lynch.

"I just checked the invitation card before I came here. Your competitor got the invitation card through the branch of the state bank. We don't have much news about him, but it should be a businessman from the state capital or other places, and... "George Griman scratched his head. He rarely does such actions. He feels that such actions will show his incompetence and helplessness.

But now, he did it subconsciously, "And it seems that his purpose of coming here is also for these machines!"

After some operations by Lynch, the machinery worth more than one million yuan had a starting price of only 150,000 yuan. Even after several bids, it is now less than 400,000 yuan.

Although Lynch can continue to increase the price, this inexplicable feeling of being uplifted is very uncomfortable.

"That means we don't have any specific solutions?" Lynch asked again.

Although Joe Griman was embarrassed, he nodded, "We have no other way."

Lynch walked a few steps back and forth, which obviously exceeded his expected range. He didn't think that there would be a problem here, but the problem appeared, and the only way was to solve it.

"That's it, maybe his determination is not as firm as I thought!"

Lynch, who returned to the auction site, competed fiercely with this gentleman from other places~lightnovelpub.net~ In the end, they pulled the price to 957,000 yuan, which was much higher than Lynch. The position of the psychological reserve price.

"It seems that Mr. Lynch is bound to have these things, so..." This gentleman smiled and made a disgusting generosity, "...I won't compete anymore!"

When he said these words, there was a feeling that Lynch had gotten a bargain, and it made people even more illusion that he gave Lynch to the bargain.

Lynch kept his smile and said thank you, as if he thought so too.

But the matter did not end here. The two people competed again on the raw materials to be auctioned, pushing the reserve price of less than 120,000 to 510,000. In the end, these Lynch also photographed things in his hands.

It took more than one million to get these things, and no one's mood would be good, but Lynch always showed a bright smile on his face, as if there was no inside story at all in this auction.

After the auction ended, he found the opponent he was competing with and asked a question, "May I know, why are you interested in these things?"
