MTL - Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant-Chapter 88 auctions
Chapter 88 Auction
I lived in Paul's private hunting ground for three days. Except for the first day's results, Anfeng had nothing to gain in the next two days. Instead, he took a few girls to visit the mountains and rivers, looking at the scenery and taking pictures. During the period, they fired shots to scare them away. A couple of bold mule deer, who would have died if it hadn't been too late.
After three days of pleasant pastoral life, everyone packed their luggage, said goodbye to the owner of the hunting ground, and went back to their respective homes. Joanna went back to Berkeley to study, but she was about to graduate, and she had already completed her credits, and she didn't have much to do. It was said that there was no surprise in her plan to continue her studies.
An Feng is more laid-back than her, in a daze, sleeping late and basking in the sun, and occasionally attending flight school courses... Until two weeks later, the negotiation between John and HG came out, and there were two options. First: the other party reached an agreement with him on two patents transfer, according to the valuation in exchange for 5% of the other company's shares.
The second type: no shares, but a 25% share of the sales of weight-loss drugs, and an additional 5 million US dollars to Anfeng.
For a listed company with a market value of more than one billion, this is an extra price they offered, which is enough to prove the courage of the other party and John's boldness. An Feng considered for a second, and decided to choose the latter option. What can a 5% stake do? And the 25% share of diet pills is amazing!
An Feng put on a suit and walked towards the helicopter parked in the yard. Gu Li was dressed in a black suit with sunglasses as usual, and walked ahead with a black file bag.
Gu Li once criticized that he said that his black super dress was used to scare ordinary people, and the really powerful security personnel usually hide in the dark and behave low-key in the dark.
But why is it still like this?
Because An Feng is currently an ordinary character, and has not developed to the point where everyone shouts and beats... An Feng agrees with his chief security officer's point of view, and he is not a blind mouse. If that time really comes, he will buy a security company, or simply PMC, and go out with a thousand bodyguards...
Money can handle many things in this world, especially in an open capitalist society like the United States. They have no principles for money. Even the central bank (the Federal Reserve) is private. What else can money not do? A few days ago, when Gu Li went to court for the first time, An Feng hired the most powerful immigration lawyer.
Things went very smoothly. In the big court soon, there was no accident for Guli to get his green card. His case was relatively simple, and he applied for political asylum in a timely manner. He also had a good lawyer who was willing to spend a lot of money to hire a lawyer. In addition, he proved that he had contributed to society. And so on, the judge will be sympathetic.
Get on the plane and fly directly to Los Angeles. The apron has been built. When passing the sky above the building, you can see a big "H" letter down.
Unfortunately, the construction has not yet been completed, and it will take about a week to officially dock the plane. An Feng glanced at it greedily, and continued to stop at Santa Monica Airport. Transfer to the SUV to the research center, and go up to the top floor by the special elevator. John has been waiting in An Feng's office for a long time. After An Feng arrived, he went straight to the point.
Having been with An Feng for so long, John has already touched his temperament: simple and direct.
John said: "According to your request, the representative of HG Company will arrive in half an hour. Your lawyer, Mr. Franklin Miller, will arrive in ten minutes."
"well done!"
An Feng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with his hands behind his back, looking at the busy traffic outside, with an open mind. It feels good to be the boss once in a while.
After talking with the other party for half an hour, he retracted the previous lies. He opened his eyes and played the translation game in his mind. The representative of the other party was still talking endlessly, and wanted to have other cooperation with the research center. Franklin and his assistant flipped through the agreement documents.
It seems like a few years have passed... An Feng thinks. Franklin nodded at him: "Mr. An, confirm that there is no problem, you can sign the contract."
"Okay!" An Feng raised his hand, and someone handed over the pen. He grabbed the signature pen and wrote in the place where the contract needed to be signed. Americans have a strong sense of law, so there are many places where contract documents need to be signed.
After signing a bunch of names, An Feng threw away the pen and shook hands with the other party, with a fake smile on his face. The other party is very polite, how can you say that you are also a partner, how can you be rude to your parents? An Feng personally sent the other party away—about ten meters away, because the elevator arrived.
"Goodbye!" An Feng had a smile on his face.
The strength of HG company is still very strong. The sales of the weight-loss drug they developed reached 600 million in three years. As a result, they were fined tens of millions due to damage and were warned by the FDA to withdraw the product. The loss of this market has caused great harm to the company. The stock price plummeted, so Anfeng's patent is urgent.
An Feng is polite to this kind of partner, because he still has a lot of patents in his hand, and if necessary, he can take absolute control of intellectual property rights alone... After that, he hung up the phone to Roger, and two days later the local There is also a spring auction to attend.
Since this is an auction company owned by the Blueline family, the invitation letter was also sent to An Feng. He was not interested in the auction at first, but he saw some of the world's top watch brands in the luxury goods column, such as Patek Philippe, Lang Ge, Blancpain and the like, heartbeat.
What's more, I just received 5 million yuan, so I'm not short of money now.
It usually takes more than a year to order a personalized watch. It is normal for a top-notch watch to take five or six years. An Feng wanted to order something direct.
Two days later.
The black Mercedes-Benz SUV was parked at the entrance of the auction company, and the door was opened by a special person. An Feng in a suit got out of the car, strode towards the door, and hugged Roger, who was wearing a white suit at the door, and Milan, who was wearing a red suit. Da performed the face-to-face ceremony, and everyone walked into the venue together.
The scale of this Spring Festival auction is not small. From luxury watches to jewelry, it will be held for three days to warm up the auction for the new year. Those who were present were either rich or collectors, and there were constant famous cars arriving at the door. After taking their seats, An Feng and Roger talked about the topic of today's auction.
Roger is a typical kid from a rich family who has nothing to do, and he often attends such occasions where celebrities gather. He faces high-end people, eats, drinks, and makes friends with them, even if he only takes one order a month, such as An Feng's big order, do you think it will make money? So Roger is a high-end mix.
Roger raised the auction advertisement in his hand: "As an insider, let me show you the truth. Tonight's highlight is three watches with minute repeater, perpetual calendar, and tourbillon, which are launched by Patek Philippe and Breguet respectively. They are very rare, and the estimated price is generally more than 400,000 US dollars. The prices of these top brand clocks are rising every year. If you buy them and put them away for three to five years, and then sell them at auction in the future, you will definitely make a profit!"
On this point, Roger did not brag. The minute repeater, perpetual calendar and tourbillon are basically the standard equipment of top watches. Complicated craftsmanship and exquisite workmanship make every watch equipped with this function come out as soon as possible. It is a sought after target for collectors. As for those so-called watches with many carats of diamonds and 24K gold, if there are no above items, it is basically either boring TV 998 shopping or low-end goods.
An Feng has done his homework beforehand, so he is not specialized, but he can talk a lot. For example, in the watchmaking industry, the top brand is undoubtedly Patek Philippe of Switzerland, and the remaining Lange, Blancpain, Breguet, and Audemars Piguet are also top brands, and they are all worthy of pursuit in the eyes of professional collectors.
"This watch is good!" Roger pointed to one of the pages of the advertisement book. It is a limited watch produced by Breguet. It has a high-end minute repeater, a perpetual calendar and a tourbillon. The tourbillon can offset the time error caused by gravity. And this issue is to commemorate its founder, which is of great collection significance.
An Feng looked at it, opened the first few pages, and pointed to one of them: "I still like this one."
Roger glanced at it and said with a smile: "I have a good vision. Patek Philippe's cutting-edge models, masterpieces of high-complexity functions, and day and night display functions also mean that they are of great value."
An Feng didn't know the specific origin of it, but felt that Perkin's bezel was low-key but not lacking in luxury. He didn't like that kind of golden watch, which blinded his eyes just by looking at it. It's the same with the pretentious man who weighs a lot of gold and floats when soaked in water.
Then the auction started, and An Feng recognized the watch.
The starting price was 400,000 yuan. An Feng watched others raise the price all the way, and every time it soared, he cursed inwardly, shit! They are all a bunch of rich people, is it easy to buy a watch by yourself? After his voice slowed down, he began to raise his cards, one after another very slowly, and everyone was calm and relaxed.
Finally, it rose to 620,000, which was about to exceed its recommended price. An Feng glanced at a middle-aged fat man in a gray suit in front of him, right! He also happened to turn his head back, and the two looked at each other, both smiling and greeting each other, but An Feng wished he could be killed in his heart, shit! He continued to raise cards and added more.
Fatty also raised it. After reaching this price, other bidders gave up one after another. It is reasonable to collect it. This price exceeds the value they recognize in their hearts.
Finally, the watch was sold to An Feng for 660,000 yuan, and he smiled proudly at the middle-aged fat man.
The middle-aged fat man also smiled heartily.
Roger said: "I know that person. He is the director of Bombardier's western region in the United States. If you want to buy an airplane, I can recommend it to you."
An Feng was taken aback, the rhythm was a bit wrong.
