Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2392
On such an important occasion, two lunatics ran in to disrupt the situation.

It would be fine if they were just average lunatics, but these two are the kind of lunatics who can afford to pay, and it becomes a headache.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Twain Morgan and Anderson Mellon, because these two guys were madmen who came to spoil the situation no matter what.

Anderson Mellon felt that he was wronged, but he had to do so, because he had been persuaded by Twain Morgan before, and of course he was more moved by the benefits offered by the other party.

If it weren't for this, how could Anderson Mellon form a team with Twain Morgan.

"I think otherwise, it doesn't make much sense if it continues like this. I have a proposal."

At this moment, Lin Daoqiu suddenly spoke.

Anyway, this auction is now at a standstill. If they don't quickly come up with a solution to the problem, then I'm afraid they will pay a very high price even if the auction is successful.

"What does Mr. Lin want to do?"

Yoder Rockefeller was a little curious about what kind of solution Lin Daoqiu could come up with to resolve the current stalemate under such circumstances.

"It's very simple, let's have a hidden bid."

"Concealed bid? Mr. Lin means that we should write down the price on paper, and whoever bids the highest price will be the winner. Is that what you mean?"

Lin Daoqiu nodded.

This method sounds like a quick way to cut through the mess, at least not to be tossed about by Twain Morgan and the others.

But the question is, God knows what kind of price Dunn Morgan offered?Is it 200 billion or 300 billion?
Everyone looked at me and looked at you, but in the end they all turned to Dunn Morgan because everyone wanted to know how much he planned to pay.

"Don't look at me like that. If you only plan to offer 100 billion, then you can go back, because my price will definitely be higher than 100 billion."

Don't know whether Dunn Morgan's words are true or not, but judging from his previous actions, it is at least [-]% likely that his hidden bid will exceed [-] billion later.

Ben Fitch DuPont and Jod Rockefeller initially discussed to try to win 50% of the shares of "Readers Times" and New Oriental Pictures at a price of about [-] billion.

But the current price is definitely more than double their previous reserve price, which really makes them have an urge to retreat.

"Everyone can discuss it first and then proceed to the final hidden bid. I set the time to watch the hidden bid in half an hour, what do you think?"

Lin Daoqiu did not force them to make up their minds immediately, but gave them half an hour to make a decision.

Regarding Lin Daoqiu's proposal, none of the six people at the scene stood up to object, so they left the conference room one after another and went to find a suitable place to discuss.

In fact, from the very beginning, Lin Daoqiu never thought that 60% of the shares of these two companies could soar to more than [-] billion. He originally thought that it should be about [-] to [-] billion.

But what I didn't expect was that the bidding had undergone earth-shaking changes because of Twain Morgan's disruption.

Lin Daoqiu was even a little worried. If Twain Morgan and Anderson Mellon wanted to take these shares regardless of the cost, wouldn't he really want to cooperate with them?
Thinking of this, Lin Daoqiu's complexion became a little ugly. If possible, he really wanted to cooperate with the duo of Fitch Dupont and Yoder Rockefeller.

But now the matter has gone beyond his control, and none of the six consortiums at the scene would agree with him.

And at this time, if Twain Morgan was kicked out with a tough stance, it would be tantamount to uniting with Morgan.

If it wasn't for the situation that he had no other choice, Lin Daoqiu would naturally not want to have any unhappiness with this kind of super consortium.

There are many vacant offices around the meeting room, some of which have been borrowed by those six people.

"We bought 100% of the shares of "Readers Times" and New Oriental Pictures at a price of more than [-] billion. This is more than double the price we set before. Do you think we should continue?"

The price at this time has exceeded the reserve price negotiated by Charlie Wood and Yabs, and Eliwood has already begun to retreat.

"Do you think the other two groups are fools?"

Yabs suddenly asked Eliwood this question, and Eliwood looked at Yabs with a puzzled face. He didn't understand why the other party would ask such a question suddenly.

But even though the other party looked at him like this, Yabs still didn't say a word, but kept looking at the other party in the previous posture.

"You mean, if they didn't close their hands, it proves that even if it exceeds tens of billions, as long as they can be bought, they can make money?"

To Eliwood's surprise, Yabs nodded.

"This is an investment of more than [-] billion yuan, but the exchange is only [-]% of the shares of the two companies. No, no, no, this is really unacceptable to me. I have to call the young master and report the situation here to him."

Eliwood can't make up his mind. Even if the money is paid in half and half, it will exceed 50 billion U.S. dollars on their heads, which is definitely not a small amount.

Yabs did not stop Eliwood's actions, he also wanted to see if Charlie Wood had the courage and insight.

And in an office not far from them, Yod Rockefeller and Fitch Dupont were sitting opposite each other, smoking a cigarette.

"Do you think Tang En will suddenly stop at the last moment?"

Fitch Dupont suddenly had a strange idea, of course these are just his guesses.

John D. Rockefeller was very quiet as before, and he seemed to be thinking about the hypothesis put forward by Fitch DuPont.

"The purpose of Tang En's coming to disrupt the situation today is to save his breath. Last time, Yabs and his family took the land from Morgan, and you also had a lot of trouble with him. He has no reason to stop at this time, because in this way Doing can only hit one person.”

If Dunn Morgan chooses to stop at this time, no matter whether it is Yabs or Fitch DuPont, only one of them will bleed heavily, and the other will be safe.

But if he wins this auction, it will be equivalent to defeating both of them at the same time. Isn't this more than what he got when he stopped temporarily?
"Actually, the key point of this question is on Anderson. Do you think he can afford to spend more than 50 billion US dollars?"

Fitch Dupont hesitated for a while, then gave his answer.

"No."

Fitch Dupont smiled, because since he had found the core of the problem, the puzzle was naturally solved.
