Chapter 253 Harusburg Auction
(The fourth update of the outbreak is presented! Bow to thank "Present Times Lao Zhang" for his monthly ticket support!)
Nearly two months passed quickly. On this day, Caitlin took Ye Ning and several bodyguards to Bermuda by plane. Andre and his friend Earl Earl Ifaman also took another flight here early on this day, because the castle and cemetery in Harrusburg were commissioned by the Paradise Company and will be auctioned at the Cofen Park Auction House, one of the four major auction houses in Bermuda.
Andre and Ifaman entered the auction venue early, and Ifaman asked in a low voice: "Don't this paradise company develop the fiefdom? Why did it take a month to auction? Nothing will happen."
Andre's expression was calm: "Maybe they think the amusement park project is not popular in Bermuda, maybe the paradise company does not want to be involved in the internal disputes in Harrusburg, or maybe they did not intend to develop this land from the beginning, but just wanted to speculate and sell it at a high price to earn the difference in the middle."
"Why doesn't they sound like they were arranged by Lord Jefferson?" Efaman asked curiously.
"It was in a hurry to do things, and Lord Jefferson didn't have time to carefully identify each company and take advantage of loopholes for these damn speculators!" Andre then said, "But it doesn't matter. Anyway, if this auction can definitely give that little bitch an extremely amazing sky-high price, that would be enough. I just don't know if the bitch dares to come."
"I think this question has an answer," Efaman said to him.
Andre looked in the direction Efaman pointed, and saw a girl as beautiful as a doll walking in. She was Caitlin, and there was an elegant Chinese woman next to her, with her bodyguard behind her.
"Dear Caitlin's eldest daughter, didn't expect you to come to this auction?" Andrei greeted him on his own initiative.
Caitlin looked at him coldly and said, "Why don't I dare to come even if a family of scum dares to come? I have no choice in maintaining the family's reputation."
When Kaitlyn directly retorted, Andre was not angry. He just smiled coldly: "Then I just hope that the female grandfather brought enough money. I won't show any mercy because your surname is Harrusburg!"
"It is a great irony to say the last name of Harrusburg, the honorary surname, from your mouth!"
Caitlin dropped this sentence and sat in his seat. Their greeting ended here. After a while, the auction began. Henry, the gold medal auctioneer at the auction, walked onto the stage. He was not tall and a little bald, but his smile was very friendly. He held a little hammer in his hand. After a brief greeting and introducing himself to everyone, he began to introduce today's lots.
"This is a very ancient land and castle, and it is said that he is old because he was once the fief of Harrusburg and this family. With this alone, this land is immeasurable."
Henry then said, "Of course I won't hide it from you. Today's land is the cemetery of the Harrusburg family. It would be a pity if you only shake your head when you hear it. You can think about how many pastors and even bishops are there to bless this cemetery, so this should be a very sacred place, bathed in the golden morning light."
After the cemetery, Henry focused on introducing Harrusburg and said that this is definitely a castle full of honor and history. The most important thing is that the two lots are auctioned together; of course, in the end, Henry also explained that the reserve price of the two lots is 2 billion Bermuda dollars, and the bid price for each bid is 50 million Bermuda dollars, and the highest is 50 billion Bermuda dollars.
When Henry quoted such a price, the audience was in an uproar because according to the international exchange rate, the Bermuda dollar and the US dollar are almost equal, so the 2 billion Bermuda dollar is equivalent to 2 billion US dollars. How can this not be surprising? You must know that it is the Mexican national telecommunications company, whose current market valuation is only one-fifth of this number. You can imagine how huge this number is.
Henry did not explain anything about the surprise of the people in the audience. He just continued according to the process: "I hope everyone was not distracted just now. I heard clearly what I introduced to the items just now. Then we won't say much nonsense, and we will officially start the auction now."
As Henry's little hammer fell, Caitlin took the lead in raising the sign without hesitation and shouted directly: "Twenty-five billion!"
When Caitlin called out the price directly, causing the scene to explode, everyone was extremely surprised. No one expected that the already outrageous reserve price was directly added to a quarter in the first round. This was too exaggerated!
"Is that bitch crazy?" Efaman said astonished.
Andre told him: "I think she probably and hoped that there would be the cemetery in Harrusburg where his father was buried, and was cited like a commodity, so she directly topped the price in the first round to scare everyone away."
"I really can't tell. This woman is quite courageous!" Ifamanhun asked, "What are you going to do?"
"What should I do? Of course I will continue to play with him!"
Andre said as he raised the sign in his hand: "Three billion!"
The scene was once again boiling, and countless people looked at Andre, and they wanted to know who the sacred man was the one who bid for 3 billion, because after all, this is Harrusburg. It is understandable that some people directly reached the highest bid in the first round of bidding, but you directly reached the highest bid in the second round, which is very puzzling.
Brother, this is an auction. Don’t you know that the price is good for a while. Is the whole family crematorium? Did your money fall from the sky? How could you call it that way? Are you not afraid that no one will follow you, then you will lose a lot?
Caitlin also looked at Andre with dissatisfaction, but Andre responded with a provocative look.
For Andre, he was not worried that Caitlin would not continue calling. He knew very well that Caitlin's purpose of coming here today was to take down the lot, where he had the cemetery where he buried her father, how could she give up easily?
Of course, she could also choose to give up, and the consequence was that the poor Grand Duke Ferdinand would really be exposed to the wilderness.
Sure enough, Caitlin then gritted her teeth and raised the card: "Three hundred and five billion!"
The scene was surprised and uproared again, and Andre continued to follow without panic: "Four billion."
This time, without waiting for the scene to react, Caitlin raised his sign again: "Fourty-five billion!"
Andre was still following: "Five billion!"
In this way, Andre and Caitlin kept raising their signs, and soon brought the bidding to the 10 billion mark. At this time, everyone on the scene, including the gold medal auctioneer Henry, was completely stunned. They never thought that this auction would become like this.
One hundred billion is already five times the low price! How could you bid like this? Isn’t your money none of your money?
At this time, Caitlin stood up: "One hundred and five billion, Andre, I know you did it on purpose, I can't bear it anymore. If you continue to shout up, then I will give you these!"
Andre smiled slightly at this and put away his sign: "Since His Highness Caitlin's words have been said to this, what else can I say? I think I can congratulate you on successfully taking Harrusburg and the family cemetery in Bermuda, 10.5 billion Bermuda dollars, I think this must be a very cost-effective deal!"
Caitlin looked at Andre: "What are you happy about? Do you think I'm going to lose this hundred and five billion in vain?"
"I am just congratulating His Highness Caitlin. As for the losses, can you still get the money back? Or is it that your account has insufficient margin, so you are unable to pay, and that result will make things fall into my hands. I hope you can think clearly." Andre said.
"Then I think you will disappoint Andre, because there is a big gap between what you think, because this auction is actually not true," said Caitlin.
Andre was stunned at first when he heard this, but then he smiled: "Your Highness Caitlin, you think you will become a princess if I call you Your Highness. Do you have the ability to reject everything? But it seems that even if you are a princess, you don't have such ability, let alone you are nothing here!"
"That's why I said I want to let you down Andre."
Caitlin told him, then walked down the venue step by step and came to the auction table and said to Henry: "I know my words may not be so convincing, so let's talk about Henry auctioneer."
With Caitlin's words, Henry came back to his senses and immediately made a proof for Caitlin: "Ms. Caitlin is right. This auction is not true, that is, Madame Caitlin does not need to pay any fees because there is no transaction at all."
Andre immediately widened his eyes: "Why is this? This auction is strictly followed by the process, why is it not established?"
"Do you want to know the reason? It's actually very simple. I own the equity of this Kefenyuan auction house, so I have the right to veto some controversial auctions." Caitlin said, and the news shocked the audience.
"How could such a thing happen? But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the Science and Technology Branch does have this system."
There was no need for other audience members, Andre said even more surprised: "This is impossible! I know that the shareholders of Kefen Park are not as good as you, Caitlin!"
"That's why you only know one thing but not the other," Caitlin said. "Since you know the shareholders of Kefen Park, then I think you must know Doyle Fund. It owns absolute equity in the auction house, and I own the absolute equity in the Doyle Fund."
Caitlin finished speaking, but Andre shouted again: "This is impossible! I also know that Daoer Fund, you are not Caitlin in his shareholders!"
Caitlin shook her head helplessly: "Ignorance is terrible. Then let me tell you again. Among the investors of Doyle Fund, there is a company called Sanmike, and six shareholders of this company have sold their shares to seven fund companies I control."
"So do you understand that Mr. Andre? I finally got the equity of the auction house through this layer of holding chain, which is that simple." Caitlin said, "It's just that two months is still too short, and there are still many jobs that are not too late, otherwise I will definitely give you a bigger and more elusive holding chain."
"Even if this is the case, don't be too happy too early!" Andre said gritting his teeth, "You have acquired the equity of the auction house. You can manipulate the auction, but you can't control the paradise company. The goods are their property and you have no right..."
"I know I have no right to deal with it, right?" Caitlin took over Andre's words and said, "Then let me tell you another thing. In addition to obtaining the equity of the auction house, I also obtained the equity of the paradise company. Otherwise, why would you think the paradise company suddenly auction these industries at this time?"
Andre couldn't believe it: "You manipulate this?"
