…
As the organizer of an auction of this level, it is natural for them to conduct a financial survey of all invited guests at the beginning of the auction, because they cannot possibly invite some people with no money to join in the fun of the auction!
And because when Wu Hao asked Zhi Nao Ling to get him a ticket to the auction, he was not among those actively invited by the organizer, so Zhi Nao Ling could only use the deposits in his bank account to give Wu Hao the green light.
The organizer of the auction is naturally very willing for a customer with a cash deposit of 15 billion US dollars in a Swiss bank to participate in the auction.
In addition, Wu Hao previously spent 2 billion US dollars to buy the ancient jade compass and paid the money later. Naturally, the organizer would not doubt Wu Hao's ability to pay.
However, although the organizers and sellers were secretly happy that Wu Hao was now raising the bidding price so aggressively, they did not want to offend the two major families of Will and Mede.
Therefore, as long as it is within their capabilities, they will cooperate with Will and Mede very much.
When Will and Mede heard Hill's words, they gave up the idea of continuing the bidding with Wu Hao, because the price of meteorites has now soared to many times more than the original base price. If they continue to bid, If we continue to compete with Wu Hao to increase prices, we may break through the tens of billions mark.
Ten billion US dollars is not a small number, because this number can almost build one of the most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the United States. If it is used to purchase F22, it can buy dozens of them.
After all, the price of the F22 is only 300 million U.S. dollars. As for mainstream fighters from other countries, it is more than enough to buy a hundred of them. For example, China's fighter jets are definitely the best in the world in terms of cost performance.
Although the DuPont family and the Rothschild family do not lack the 10 billion U.S. dollars, it is obviously not in their interests to spend 10 billion U.S. dollars just to buy a meteorite with research value.
Because even though these two families are very willing to spend money on developing various future technologies, they still need to consider the gains and losses in many aspects if they spend 10 billion US dollars on just one project.
otherwise. In the past, these two families would not contact each other privately with the intention of reaching cooperation when the competition was fruitless. After all, 5 billion US dollars is still a lot. But split in half, each of their families only has 2.5 billion U.S. dollars. They can still accept spending this amount of money for a research project that they don’t know whether it is valuable.
However, now due to Wu Hao's sudden intervention, the price of meteorites has soared to more than 7 billion US dollars, and based on Wu Hao's attitude, it seems that he has no plans to let go.
therefore. Such a high price is not the result that these two families want to see.
Even if Wu Hao gives up now, they don't want to pay such a high price to get this meteorite, so after the price soared to this figure, Will and Mede almost had a tacit understanding and gave orders to their men. Go down.
"Okay, no need to continue bidding, I will give this meteorite to him temporarily."
"I understand, boss, but we can't let him succeed easily. According to the other party's bidding rules, every time we increase the price, the other party will increase the number between 200 million and 300 million. We can first Pretend to continue bidding one more time. This will also make the other party pay more." This subordinate said with a conspiratorial look.
"Very good, just do as you say!" Will and Med did not have any objection after hearing this.
However, what they didn't know was that Wu Hao had heard their conversation clearly through his mental perception. Therefore, after Wu Hao at the seat knew about this situation, he just curled his lips slightly and had a countermeasure.
"7.65 billion U.S. dollars. The guest in Box 1 bid 7.65 billion U.S. dollars. Is there any higher bid?" The host who presided over the auction was not surprised after seeing the new bid from Box 1. . Apparently he had been used to it for a long time, and then he stared at Wu Hao in seat 66 in the hall. It seems that after all, it’s your turn to bid.
Wu Hao, who was sitting in seat 66, did not immediately bid after hearing this. Instead, he sat there with a frown and thought about something. However, his frown was naturally noticed by Will and Med in the box. Wait for someone to see it.
"What's going on? Does the other party want to give up and continue bidding?"
"We can't rule out this possibility. After all, the price of this meteorite has exceeded expectations by a lot." Originally, the starting price of this meteorite was only 2 billion U.S. dollars. When it rose to 4 billion U.S. dollars, the only remaining competitors were The DuPont family and the Rothschild family have reached 5 billion US dollars. Both families seem to understand that neither party wants to give up the plan to obtain the meteorite, but if they continue to compete, the price is too high and it is not in their interests.
Until Wu Hao stepped in, the price of the meteorite was now close to 80 US dollars. Originally, they thought Wu Hao would fight with them to the end, but now they saw Wu Hao hesitate for the first time, which also made them realize that if the price It was really too high, and Wu Hao would give up bidding.
After understanding this, the two of them also understood what to do next.
"After the other party bids again, we will stop and not increase the price."
"I understand, boss!" The subordinate who had come up with the idea before also realized at this moment that if they continued to bid and Wu Hao gave up the bidding at the critical moment, he would have caused heavy losses to his boss. If things really developed like this If he takes one step, he will most likely be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
Just like that, when Wu Hao hesitated and thought for several minutes, the host on the stage talked nonsense and used all the means to delay time. Wu Hao still showed no sign of continuing to bid. It undoubtedly made the host extremely anxious.
Because he had long been told by his boss that the winner of the final auction must not be anyone from the Dupont family or the Rothschild family, so he was already anxiously praying to Wu Hao, who was sitting in seat 66, to increase the price as soon as possible. ! As soon as Wu Hao increased the price, he swore that he would immediately start counting down the hammer.
After all, hosting an auction like this is too grueling.
Soon, Wu Hao, who was pretending to be hesitant in the hall, also knew that the time was almost up. If he didn't speak again, I'm afraid the host would have no excuse to continue stalling for time.
Therefore, Wu Hao gave a new bidding price, which only increased US$50 million from the original price, and the bid was US$7.7 billion.
