Dulin was only a participant in this auction, not the host. Of course, Stein Ein thought that he could completely handle these people's inquiries, but Dulin still asked him to choose a more professional auctioneer who would charge an hourly fee and receive a commission. That kind of thing. Of course, with the care of acquaintances, there will definitely be no commission, but the fee cannot be discounted. The fee of 1,000 yuan per hour is indeed considered a relatively high level in the industry, but the hosting is indeed good.
From the moment the first quota was placed in the auction, the one hundred and forty-eight representatives sitting in the venue began to fight with each other. There was no probing at all. The first person to ask for 10 million directly gave some When they were about to bid, some of the people who even raised their hands holding the sign withdrew their hands.
In fact, in every auction of similar items, the first person to bid can always take advantage. As long as he bids an astonishing price, other bidders will have a wonderful idea. They will feel that if they give away these powerful people first, then the price will drop. But the truth is often just the opposite. At auctions for the same kind of goods, the first bidder is often lower than the average transaction price, but people always fail to remember the lesson.
In the subsequent three auctions, the price remained at around 10 million, and then the price began to rise sharply, because most bidders discovered that although it seemed that four powerful people had taken the items and left, the remaining There are fewer things and the competitive environment has become even worse. Everyone wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible, and the price continued to rise until it reached a maximum of 22 million.
When the gavel finally fell, the little Huangmao who was hosting the auction was so excited that his voice began to tremble. He had only seen an auction worth more than 200 million yuan in his life. More importantly, he presided over this auction, which would become his One of the most important capitals.
After the auction, he even promised Du Lin that he would definitely help host any auction held by Du Lin for free, without paying a penny, including the commission for this auction.
Auctioneers are actually similar to lawyers and more practitioners in special industries, and they all pay attention to the issue of qualifications. If more than 30% of the auction items hosted by an auctioneer fail to sell, and after a certain number of auctions, he will basically say goodbye to the auctioneer industry. But if he can host an auction with a total amount of more than 200 million, it will be a huge opportunity for him. In the future, his commission will increase by more than one level.
After the auction ended, the fifteen bidders were invited by Dulin into the conference hall on the seventh floor of the Empire State Building. Next came the delivery and other issues.
It seems that the amount of 200 million is huge. In fact, the cash settlement part is only 50 to 60 million, and the remaining more than 100 million will be delivered through other methods, including mortgages and loans.
These fifteen auction winners are basically real capitalists. They know better how to play the game of capital. These people are also the people Dulin needs.
When they entered the conference room and saw Du Lin, they were all a little surprised. Some of them thought Du Lin was a waiter.
After Du Lin's self-introduction, these people were temporarily honest. Next, Du Lin needed to tell them the new gameplay - they spent tens of millions in exchange for tickets to this game. Of course, they should pay attention carefully. Listen to Dulin's gameplay clearly.
"The distillation method we use can easily solve the expensive material cost of dragon's blood wood. Using raw materials that do not contain dragon's blood wood to brew wine, pure spirits can be obtained through the distillation method. I will arrange for artificial Everyone will be given demonstrations and guidance. After that, you can brew your own wine and sell it to the market." Du Lin talked to these capitalists. They listened carefully and spent so much money. Isn't that what it's for
Someone raised a small question, "Mr. Dulin, as far as I know the owner of the patent is Mr. Clark, then you and Mr. Clark..."
Dulin smiled and said, "Clark is a very good friend of mine. From now on, I will have full authority to make all decisions on behalf of Mr. Clark. If you have any questions, you can also come to me." He nodded and signaled The guy shut his mouth and continued: "I believe that everyone spent a lot of money to obtain the authorization in order to obtain higher returns, but the chaotic market will expose us to risks of varying sizes. I think we need to We also have the obligation to unite as a group and bring order to the chaos!”
The bidders all expressed their approval. This is what they hope for. The purpose of using low-alcohol distillation and purification to obtain spirits is to release sufficient profit margins and fight an unequal price war with other manufacturers. . After eliminating those miscellaneous brewing manufacturers, at least 80% of the entire empire's brewing industry will be completely controlled by them.
It is no exaggeration to say that 80% of the billions of drinks consumed every year will become delicacies on the plates of these people. The power represented by each person can obtain at least a share of more than 60 to 70 million, excluding various channels. and sales, their profitability will exceed 20 million a year. So they didn’t hesitate to shout out daunting prices to seize the opportunity.
"I have an idea..." After a short communication, people already thought that Dulin was worthy of attention, and what he said was even more worthy of attention. There was no longer any thought of looking down on his idea. Du Lin raised his hand and pointed casually with a finger, "Within one year, through reasonable and legal competition and other methods, we will squeeze out as many breweries and manufacturers as possible that do not belong to our circle. I will I hope that at this time next year...", he tapped his finger on the table, and the crisp sound was like tapping on the hearts of these people, making them straighten their bodies involuntarily, "Across the empire, brewers The size of the workshop is 20% of what it is now, or even less!”
The eyes of those capitalists suddenly showed a red or green sheen. The fewer competitors, the greater their share. Coupled with the economic recovery of the empire, people have more money in their pockets and need more enjoyment. This is A world of infinite possibilities.
Of course, some people also asked what to do if someone stole this very simple purification method to produce spirits. The person who asked this question was immediately stared at by fifteen eyes. He smiled awkwardly and closed his mouth.
what to do
Of course, it is to protect one's legitimate rights and interests and make them disappear through legal and illegal means. This is a market worth more than one billion a year. Dare you stretch your claws
Not only will the claws be chopped off, but the owner of the claws will also be destroyed!
After all this was negotiated, the delivery began. Dulin received a total of more than 80 million yuan in transfers, and more than 110 million yuan will be paid off year by year in the next five years, and will generate an interest rate that is one point higher than the bank loan interest rate. The interest is 7.98%.
Dulin returned to Otis City with this money. The purpose of the money he needed was not to build Otis City, but he had a huge plan next, which required a lot of funds. It may even be said that these funds are not enough. In order to support his plan, he needs more funds to flow into his pocket. He will definitely not be the only one involved in this plan, there will be more people involved. He calls this plan "pineapple pie". The reason why it is not "apple pie" is that he does not like eating apples. Pineapple.
He will invite those who can help him in the future to join this plan, including senior leaders of the new party, such as Maggs, and big capitalists, such as John and Colliers.
The return from this plan is probably more than a thousand times, so he doesn't care at all how many people join the plan. Instead, he is afraid that too few people will join, which will have an adverse impact on him.
Now, all he needs to do is prepare silently, and then shock the world again!
On the second day after returning to Otis City, he attended an opening ceremony and the warehouse district built by Mr. Jack was completed. Mr. Jack and "poker" are very smart. They do not run businesses that may be risky, or in other words, their concepts are sound. The construction of a warehouse area is always profitable. To maintain the warehouse area, you only need to spend some quarterly maintenance costs and monthly labor.
Coupled with Dulin's guarantee that Otis City will not exceed two warehouse districts, this is enough to guarantee the income of Mr. Jack and the organization behind him in Otis City for the next thirty years.
Du Lin happily went to the appointment and participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony that had been passed down from the Federation. He also said a few words to give Mr. Jack a lot of face. After the dinner was over, Dulin pulled Mr. Jack to a corner and found a place where no one was around to talk about something privately.
The two of them walked to the empty temporary warehouse area behind the warehouse area. People could not hide in the open space, and the wind could completely silence their words. Du Lin looked around and then said: "I want to speak directly to the queen or the king. Is there anything you can do?"
Mr. Jack frowned, his facial expression was still very stiff and uncoordinated, which made people feel very uncomfortable, as if his face was covered with a layer of something.
"With all due respect, is there something important? If possible, it would be best for me to forward it to the two adults."
Du Lin took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, and knocked the cigarette butt against the cigarette case. In the past two weeks, he has found that the tobacco in his cigarettes is not as tight as before, which may be related to Rani's proposal to increase tobacco taxes. Almost all cities in the entire empire began economic construction, attracting a large number of people from the countryside to enter the city. There was no place for them to grow their own tobacco leaves in the city. Coupled with the increase in wages, the sales of cigarettes began to increase significantly.
Rani proposed this idea very timely. After the election, it will be discussed in the Imperial Parliament and a hearing will be initiated.
He lit the cigarette, took a puff, exhaled it slowly, and looked at Mr. Jack with a half-smile, "I have a business with a return rate of more than five hundred times. I wonder if the king and queen are interested!"
