Chapter 520: Elsa Comes Out For Auction(1/2)

After Zhou Xiaobai finished teasing Elsa, the three women quickly got into a fight.

They held hands and went back to the room, while Xu Damao was abandoned directly.

Elsa really needed a rest, and Angelina came over at this time.

"BOSS, a few days ago I briefly said hello to those companies that wanted to sell."

"They are also willing to sell it to us, but there is a shipyard that belongs to the Pearl Government."

"Now that the word is out that it's for sale, there are a lot of people wanting to get in."

Xu Damao: "Dockyard? That dock?"

Angelina: "It's at the Whampoa Dockyard in the south corner of our Hung Hom Stadium."

Huangpu Dockyard almost grew up together with Mingzhu, and has an equally long and distinguished history.

The company was established in 1863. In 1866, Huangpu Dockyard obtained the No. 1 Pearl Business Registration Certificate in accordance with the newly enacted company laws at that time.

For more than a century, Whampoa Dockyard has been one of the largest dry dock, ship repair and shipbuilding companies in the Far East.

During this period, it experienced two world wars. At the peak of business, the shipyard handled an average of twenty-five ships per week.

In 1960, the company provided services to twenty-three countries and nine navies or above.

Later, after *** went to acquire it, he disliked this industry as not profitable.

We began to dismantle the shipyard company and then proceed to bankruptcy liquidation.

In the end, he changed it to real estate and made nearly 5 billion in this business.

Han Li took the relevant information about Huangpu Shipyard Company from Angelina's hand and looked at it carefully.

Pearl's Whampoa Dockyard is mainly located on Kowloon Island, relatively close to Tsim Sha Tsui.

The industrial area covers an area of ​​nearly 700,000 square meters, with a coastline of 3,000 meters, a dock length of 900 meters, and a water depth of between 6 and 9 meters.

It can be said that this location is a pretty good Feng Shui treasure.

But if you want to buy this company, you have to take over a cruise ship that is about to be eliminated, the Queen of Britain.

The Queen of Britain was originally owned by the Maple Leaf Pacific Railway.

It has a tonnage of 42,348 tons and a speed of 24 knots. It was built in 1930 at the John Brown Shipyard in Clydebank.

Sailing on the Southampton-Quebec route. Due to the impact of the world economic crisis, the number of passengers has dropped.

In 1931, he traveled around the world and visited major ports in Egypt, India, Bactria, and Japan.

In 1979, that is, last year, the account was paid to Huangpu Shipyard Company.

If this cruise ship is refitted and maintained, it can be used as a gambling ship by Hao Ji. Anyway, it doesn't travel long distances.

In addition to these, the shipyard's equipment is quite complete, such as pontoon gates, steam pumps, steam-driven lathes, planers, drilling machines, shears and punching machines, etc.

These current devices are already very backward.

It's a bit unrealistic to build a ship, but as long as we find enough workers, there's no problem in maintaining the ships that come and go.

Xu Damao kept tapping the table with his fingers, weighing the impact of this matter in his mind.

"Angelina, if we take over the dock."

"I want to purchase the most advanced shipbuilding equipment and related processes from the Western Continent. Do you think it's a big problem?"

Angelina: "I definitely can't buy the most advanced one, even if I ask Her Highness Elsa to come forward."

"But for the worse, there is no problem with Her Highness Elsa's face."

Xu Damao: "We want this place. You can talk to Elsa later."

"Looking at the equipment and technology, we must win over Mingzhu's electric lighting company."

"Even if Elsa uses some connections, we can't let it fall into the hands of outsiders."

Angelina: "BOSS, has your Highness Elsa been captured?"

Xu Damao asked in surprise: "How did you know? You didn't seem to be at home yesterday, right?"

"What's so strange about this? BOSS didn't let Her Highness Elsa get involved in anything before."

"If you confidently call your name this time, if you don't win it already, then you will see the ghost of the dead."

Xu Damao: "You're the smart one. Go get down to business. I'll reward you later."

"By the way, not only do we need equipment, but we also need to recruit some technical personnel."

"Look at which companies around the world have employees that are easy to poach, and you can just start."

"YES, BOSS, you have to remember."

Elsa took Angelina out that afternoon, and Xu Damao didn't ask about the specific process.

But at the auction site two days later, XX was almost pissed to death.

The fairest hidden bid auction method was adopted on site. Not only did the bidders not know the starting price in advance, they also could not calculate the corresponding benefits before the auction.

When bidders cannot know the starting price, they lose some basis for collusion.

And the information of all participating auction companies is temporarily hidden.

All bidders must write down their bids in writing within the specified time limit, seal them and submit them to the auctioneer.

And the time for submitting the bid will be marked on the sealed letter, and you will wait until the bidding time has passed.

The auctioneer announces the bids of each buyer in public, and the highest bidder becomes the transaction party.

If the prices given by two parties are equal, then according to the bid submission time indicated in the sealed letter, the first bidder will be the final party.

Even though XX Run had made the best prediction, he still fell short.

The key thing about this failure that made him most uncomfortable was that the price he gave was second place.

The buyer paid 100 yuan more than he did to buy the Huangpu Shipyard.

The reason for this is that if there is a hidden bid auction, there will be secret operations.

The auctioneer collects a lot of money, and can also sell favors to Her Royal Highness. Fools know how to choose.

XX was not a fool to run away. Later he realized that he was being tricked by others.

Although this company is an unknown and small company, if you ask around, you can always find out who is behind it.

But XX Pao couldn't estimate these things right now. He thought of the Mingzhu Electric Lighting Company's auction in a few days.

He was determined to win this project, so XX ran started frequent public relations activities.

There was no shortage of relationships, and no shortage of banquets. The other party only promised to ensure absolute fairness.

After receiving this promise, XX was more than half relieved about running.

So at the Mingzhu Electric Lighting Company auction, XX went above and beyond his original estimate and raised it as hard as he could.

After the bidding ended and the auctioneer made the announcement, XX's heart was still in her throat.

Auctioneer: "A total of 28 companies participated in the auction of Mingzhu's electric lighting company."

"We will announce the results of this bidding below. The highest bidder is a certain group run by XX."

After hearing the news, XX's heart suddenly dropped to her stomach.

As soon as the smile appeared on his face, the auctioneer spoke again.

"The company that quoted the same price as XX Group is AA Company. Let me take a look at their bidding time."

This time, XX's little heart rose to the level of her throat again.

"The bidding time of XX Group is 11:35. Let's look at the bidding time of AA Company."

"We congratulate AA Company on becoming the new owner of Mingzhu Electric Lighting Company. Their bidding time is 11:30."

The audience below responded with enthusiastic applause and asked each other about the origin of this AA company.

You must know that this company has trampled on the XX Group twice in a row.

Once is still a coincidence. If anyone still believes that it is a coincidence twice, then he does not deserve to be in this room today.

Rich Man A came to XX Ran with a smile and said as if he just came to see a good show.

"Mr. Li, isn't it a coincidence that these two times in a row are too much?"

Rich Man B: "Mr. Li, must he have offended someone? After all, your family has grown rapidly recently."

Rich Man C: "You can't say that. Aren't these two projects pretty good for everyone?"

"Otherwise, everyone wouldn't waste time and come here specifically to participate in the auction."

"But it's like this twice. It's really too much of a coincidence."

"If it were me, I would definitely check the people around me. If this is not a thief, then it is a ghost."

Rich A and Rich B said in unison.

"Brother Bing is still so keen on seeing things. If I want to see things, it's just a matter of a traitor."
