The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 385 The Three Yuan Clan Brothers (Part 1)

On January 23, after two weeks of operation, the auction of Peregrine’s assets finally came to Indonesia Petroleum Holdings. At eight o’clock that morning, in the small conference hall of the Four Seasons Hotel in Central, various companies interested in this asset Organizations sent representatives to participate in the auction.

According to the bidding process, the asset was first jointly certified by Pertamina and the Peregrine Clearing Committee, guaranteed by HSBC, and then notarized by the notary office. After confirming that all items were clear, the auction began. This process will also be photographed as evidence when disputes may arise in the future.

After the notarization, the auction house entrusted by Price Law Firm will conduct the auction, and the whole process will also be conducted under the supervision of representatives of Pertamina and the Hong Kong Bankruptcy Commission, and all transactions will be confirmed legally The transaction is declared valid only after it has been carried out.

  The reason why there are so many red tapes, and the government departments have personally intervened, is because the movement of Peregrine's bankruptcy is so great that the government must personally come forward to give a clear and safe explanation to the majority of investors. Therefore, the details must stand the test, otherwise, if there is trouble in the future, I am afraid that even the chief executive will not be able to bear it.

  In short, all these are procedures that must be followed in accordance with the regulations, and they cannot be avoided whether the parties are willing or not.

   Zhong Shi and others who came to the venue early got the auction process, found a place at random, received a bidding number, and then waited for the auction to start.

  This meeting room is not big, and it is only more than two hundred square meters. As dozens of people came in one after another, it soon became full.

Seeing this scene, Hao Shuping, who was sitting next to Zhong Shi, was a little at a loss. After discussing with Gao Yiming for a while, she lowered her head and said to Zhong Shi in a low voice: "Zhong Sheng, the situation may change. We did not expect so many companies to be interested in this asset, and now our strategy may have to change."

"Just wait and see what happens!" Zhong Shi couldn't help being a little annoyed, but obviously this is not the time to get angry, "Let's see the situation first. Also, who do you think is the most likely entrusted by the law firm, keep an eye on me .”

  Hao Shuping obviously felt Zhong Shi's repressed anger, and she didn't dare to say anything more. She turned her head and, together with Gao Yiming, repeatedly scanned everyone present, hoping to find out the truth as soon as possible.

  As soon as eight o'clock arrived, the door of the meeting room was closed on time, and the auction process officially started.

"Hello, everyone. I am Lawyer Luo Bingham, who is in charge of the liquidation management of Peregrine. Welcome to today's auction site." A benevolent old man walked to the rostrum at the front of the conference room , introduced today's situation in a calm manner, "Now I announce that the auction has officially started, and the representatives of Peregrine Company and the Peregrine Liquidation Committee are invited to come on stage."

  After the announcement, he stepped aside. At this time, two people in charge of auction notarization walked up to the rostrum at the same time. One of them had a handsome face and a tall and burly figure, while the other was thin and small with dark skin, forming a very sharp contrast.

After the two made a brief introduction, they opened the prospectus of shares held by Peregrine in full view of the public and carefully checked them. After checking, the two jointly announced that the prospectus of shares held by them was valid. Yes, at the same time, people from the notary office also stepped forward to notarize the result.

After a boring procedure, a middle-aged man about forty years old with an auction mallet came forward, first bowed to everyone, and then said slowly: "Today's auction will be held by My name is Chen Yijian. You can call me Jerry. Well, let’s not gossip. I believe everyone has read the relevant information. The reserve price of this asset is 240 million U.S. dollars, and each bid must not be lower than 5 million US dollars, please use the following time to your fullest."

The original assets of USD 400 million, due to the shrinking stock price and the plunge of the Indonesian rupiah, the actual value of this asset so far is only less than USD 200 million. I am afraid that even 240 million US dollars cannot be called out now.

  In any case, this price is more in line with the real value. As soon as Chen Yijian finished speaking, someone in the audience quickly raised a sign. Chen Yijian pointed with his finger and said excitedly, "No. 9, 245 million US dollars."

   "This is the people from Shell Oil Company. It seems that they are also eyeing Indonesian oil." So fast? Zhong Shi couldn't help being a little surprised, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the placard. Hao Shuping took the opportunity to explain in his ear.

  It is already an open secret that Shell Petroleum Company wants to get involved in the Southeast Asian oil market. Naturally, they will not miss this opportunity to enter the Indonesian market.

"Here, No. 15, $250 million." Chen Yijian had just reported the latest price when he saw another sign raised up, "Okay, No. 21, $255 million. Oh, no, No. 3, 2.6 million dollars."

  The higher the auction price, the more he will get, and naturally he will work harder. Seeing the placards being raised one after another in the audience, Chen Yijian was really happy in his heart. With the frequent raising of placards in the audience, the speed of his quotations became faster and faster, with a few provocative words interspersed from time to time, making the atmosphere more and more heated.

  In all fairness, if this asset is held for a long time, it is definitely a profitable business. However, the current unstable situation in Indonesia has cast a shadow over the company's prospects, but even so, the price, which is far lower than the asset value itself, still attracts everyone's attention.

"No. 3, No. 3 raised the card again, this time it is 300 million US dollars. God, this number is absolutely beyond my imagination. Even in my entire career, I have never seen such a large single auction .Now you are making history step by step, so what are you waiting for?"

   Soon, the price of this asset exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars under the rush of many people, but as this barrier was broken, fewer and fewer people bid. Because no matter how extravagant Chen Yijian said, after all, the companies that came to participate in this auction all had budget limits, and it was impossible to keep pushing them up endlessly.

"$300 million, isn't there any more bids? You know, this is an asset with an original value of $400 million. If it is auctioned now, it will earn a full $100 million." Chen Yijian is also keen Realistically found that the place below was a bit deserted, so he continued to use his sharp tongue, and even brought out this absurd logic, "If you miss this time, I really don't know if there will be a similar opportunity next time, so everyone, please don't Hesitate, hurry up and shoot!"

   It's just a pity that his rhetoric is not accepted by everyone at all, and others are not fools, so how could they not know the approximate price of this asset?

   "Zhong Sheng, shall we make a move?"

  Seeing that the scene had calmed down, Hao Shuping became a little anxious, and quickly poked Zhong Shi, reminding him anxiously in his ear.

"Don't worry, look again, maybe this No. 3 is the entrustment they invited!" Zhong Shi was not in a hurry at all, but he really wanted to see if there was anything tricky in this auction, "Wait for them to ride a tiger and get rid of it!" It’s not too late for us to make a move.”

What Zhong Shi didn't know was that the consignor of this auction didn't invite the so-called "entrustment" at all, because if the auction was revealed, the consequences would definitely not be acceptable to them. With a support of hundreds of millions of dollars, the difficulty is similar to that of landing on the moon.

There was dead silence in the audience, and Chen Yijian on the stage was sweating profusely. The original 300 million US dollars had greatly exceeded expectations, but who would think it was too much money? For that little profit, he was naturally more willing to shoot higher price.

"I'll pay 320 million, so what, US dollars!" Just as he was thinking about it, a rough voice suddenly came from below. The voice was a bit weird. How should I put it, it didn't sound like a local , there is a strong local flavor in the accent.

This weird voice immediately attracted the attention of the audience. Everyone including Zhong Shi looked up and found that the speaker was a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties. Other than that, there was nothing unusual in other respects, except that the clothes didn't fit well, and the suit hung loosely on his body, making him look very listless.

  Beside him, sat two middle-aged men of the same age. The two were calm, and chose to ignore the gazes cast by the audience, and watched the reaction on the stage by themselves.

Aside from their arrogant reactions, what is even more strange is that the facial features of the three of them are extremely similar. Anyone with discerning eyes can tell that the three of them are very likely to be brothers .

"Who is this? Why are you so defiant?" Zhong Shi just glanced at him slightly, feeling a little unhappy in his heart. He personally disliked this kind of "exposing dominance". Please come?"

"They are from the north, the three brothers of the Yuan family." Hao Shuping clicked her tongue, feeling a little emotional, "I don't know how to get rich, maybe I have some money on hand, so I'm going to invest in some projects. These three are brothers. The one in the middle is called Yuan Baojing, the one on the right is called Yuan Baoqi, and the one calling out is called Yuan Baosen. Although I don’t know how they got rich, I heard that they are very rich. This time they came to bid on behalf of Hong Kong Huazhi International Company .”

"It's them?"

Zhong Shi suddenly remembered that these three guys were very famous in later generations, and the boss Yuan Baojing was even called "Li Jiacheng in the capital", but the fame Zhong Shi heard was not only related to their wealth, but Because these three daring guys dared to hire a killer to kill their competitors alive, and then hired a murderer to silence the killer.

Originally they thought that as long as they sprinkled money and wooed relationships, they would definitely be able to eliminate this incident, but the competitors who didn't want to be killed by them also had a deep background, and in the end this incident went all the way to the sky. Under the personal intervention of the leader, the three lawless people were finally sentenced to death.

This is not the most exciting thing. In order to survive, the three brothers in prison asked their families to donate all their property. One of them was about the shares of Indonesian Petroleum Corporation. It is said that the market value of this item at that time reached 500. billions of RMB. But in the end, even if several people donated their property, they were still executed.

  Originally, the matter came to this point, and it was time to come to an end. But a few years later, the leader who personally intervened in the case of the three Yuan brothers was also sacked because of corruption, and the inside story of the whole incident was revealed to the world, which naturally caused a sensation. Originally, the leader took the life-saving money of the three people, but in the end he failed to save their lives.

"Could it be these assets?" Zhong Shi looked suspiciously at the three Yuan brothers again, "So, if I **** their business today, I might save their lives in the future ?”

"Hey, what's the matter with you? Anyway, give me a response!" Just as Zhong Shi was thinking about it, the old San Yuan Baosen yelled again, "It's you, the one with the mallet, you Is he dead? There are so many people watching!"

  "The evils committed by heaven can still survive, and the evils committed by oneself can't live." Zhong Shi shook his head helplessly, seeing their domineering appearance, it seemed that even if they saved them today, they would hit the gunpoints by themselves in the future.

   PS: I don’t know how Peregrine handled its assets back then, so it’s based on the auction method. Experts can’t blame it. BTW: Thank you book friend gengsu for voting for the monthly ticket!
