Easy Tycoon

Chapter 515
No one in the grand banquet hall of the Mellon family's estate expected that the bidding for this inconspicuous box that had not even been bid for just now would soar to a full 1000 million U.S. dollars in just a few minutes !

Just after Mr. Cole Smith quoted a low price of 12 US dollars, everyone thought that this mysterious tycoon would take this same mysterious box at a low price. It turned out that Harper from Boston Lawrence even participated in the bidding.

From the perspective of the rules of the auction, it is understandable for Harper Lawrence to do so. After all, the auction is a place for bidding, and whoever has the highest price will take the auction item.

But the problem is that this is not a formal auction, and you, Harper Lawrence, clearly missed the half box just now, otherwise why didn't you bid just now?

You have to wait until after Cole Smith bids before you bid. You obviously have a problem. In this case, in Yanjing dialect, this is an extremely low-value thing.

The most important thing is, can you Harper Lawrence really see the value in this box?Or do you really need this box?The Mellon family has been thinking about it for almost a century, but they haven't figured out what this box is for. You can figure it out with it?
If you do this, to put it bluntly, you are clearly targeting Cole Smith.

And from the point of view of actions, you clearly did just that.

Cole Smith quoted a low price of 12, and you quoted 20.Cole Smith quoted 21, and you reported 50. The result was reported back and forth. Harper Lawrence was stunned to report a broken box that had no bids just now for a sky-high price of 1000 million US dollars.

You, Harper Lawrence, are indeed rich, and your net worth may not be worth a billion dollars, but with your naughty personality known to all Americans, if you are willing to spend 1000 million dollars to buy such a worthless Useful broken box, that's why the sun rises over the Pacific Ocean.

You are not bidding, you are purely here to make trouble.You are the face of the Mellon family in Hongguoguo.

The faces of Timothy Mellon and Schaife have become extremely ugly, and even Paul Mellon, who has never cared much about the family business, can hardly sit still.That is to say, Richard King Mellon returned to the room early. If the old man was there, with that old man's temperament, he would definitely have to throw this shit-stirring stick out.

"Ten thousand and ten thousand." Yang Jing still said a number indifferently. Sure enough, it was the same as the previous bidding, and his offer was only ten thousand dollars higher than that idiot Harper Lawrence.

Although the people at the scene didn't know if the mysterious Cole Smith was fighting against Harper Lawrence, they could tell that even if it was fighting, Cole Smith was full of confidence.

But it is obvious that Harper Lawrence, who was purely here to make trouble just now, has really become grudge this time. After Cole Smith said the number of 2000 million, he almost didn't even think about it. A price of "[-] million" was quoted.

As soon as the price was announced, there was a low cry in the hall.

This box is different from the bronze sculpture of "Mountain Climber" just now. The value of that sculpture is basically clear to everyone present, but this broken box cannot be worth 2000 million US dollars anyway.Harper Lawrence was obviously fooling around by quoting this price.

"Bang!" Paul Mellon, who was over eighty years old, slammed the table and stood up, "Mr. Lawrence, this is Mellon Manor, not your Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, please show respect." one time."

As soon as old Paul said these words, the audience fell silent.

Everyone knows that although the core figure of the third generation of the Mellon family doesn't manage the family business very much, his temper is well known in the circle. More than 40 years ago, at a gathering of top executives celebrating the victory of World War II, Paul Mellon, who was in his forties at the time, scolded President Truman bloody on the spot because of a disagreement. Someone stopped him, and Truman might have to be beaten up by old Paul that day.

Although the old Paul is now over 80 years old, his temper is still the same as before.

"Mr. Lowell, this is the Mellon family, not your Boston, please show some respect to your people!" The old Paul had just finished talking about Lawrence, and he aimed directly at the chairman of the First National Bank of Boston, and at the same time He is also the contemporary core figure of the Lowell family, Alex Lowell.

Unlike the domineering Harper Lawrence, Alex Lowell is the core figure of the contemporary Boston consortium. In the Boston consortium composed of several major families, Alex Lowell is the real core Among the eleven people who smoked cigars with Yang Jing and the others in the cigar room just now, there was Alex Lowell, but not Harper Lawrence.

It's just unexpected that even if the old Paul got angry, Alex Lowell just smiled wryly and spread his hands and shook his head, which clearly meant to say: "I can't control that guy, did you find me?" use."

Obviously, something is wrong with this incident today. It was originally just an unknown broken box, but this broken box turned out to be a fuse. Now the fuse has been lit, and the other end of the fuse It connects the two behemoths of the Boston Consortium and the Mellon family.

The people who can come here are not fools, they are all the best of the best, so they immediately realized that something was wrong, and the entire banquet hall immediately fell silent.

This involved a battle between the two major consortiums. Although everyone at the scene knew that the Mellon family and the Boston consortium had secretly fought fiercely for more than ten years, although the Mellon family had a slight upper hand, the advantage was not so obvious. .

Behind the Mellon family is the alliance of the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, but why is there no alliance of the DuPont family behind the Boston consortium?
It's just that this kind of cold war is only limited to a specific scope, and neither the Mellon family nor the Boston consortium will expand the scope or make this kind of struggle superficial.They are very clear that once the two major consortiums are really active, the entire American economy will be seriously affected, which is something they don't want to see.

Unexpectedly, this situation, which has been under control for more than ten years, is about to explode today because of a small broken box.

This is one of the bases of the Mellon family. It is really hard to say that the core figures of the Boston consortium openly provoke the Mellon family here.

The white glove auctioneer on the stage was already sweating profusely. He wished he could drop the hammer immediately to confirm the ownership of the broken box, but he didn't dare to drop the hammer.

On one side is the huge Boston consortium. Although there is only a mysterious Cole Smith, this man just smoked cigars with the core figures of the top ten consortiums. After he came out, he chatted happily with many top tycoons. It can be seen that this person's background is also unfathomable.

Especially when old Paul got angry, this matter has now risen to another level of fighting, and it is far beyond the control of a small person like him.To calm down this matter, unless one of the two masters quits voluntarily, but obviously, the mysterious Cole Smith obviously doesn't want to quit, and that Mr. Harper Lawrence is obviously already angry now.

It may be possible for one of them to withdraw voluntarily at this time, but it is definitely not something that a little auctioneer like him can control.

Didn't you see that even the old Mr. Paul was angry, but the bidding still seemed to be unable to stop.

Bloomberg also swallowed dryly, pulled Yang Jing's clothes and whispered: "Cole, do you really want to continue competing? I don't think this is a good idea. Those people from the Boston consortium obviously Already stood together."

Yang Jing shook his head lightly, but remained silent.

Why can't he see what's going on in this situation?He has now been involved in the battle between the two financial groups inadvertently.

Yang Jing didn't want to be caught in the middle, but this box suddenly reminded him of an extremely important matter. If he hadn't suddenly remembered this matter, he would not have let go of this box.

Later Tang Dynasty, Li Congke, the last emperor of Later Tang Dynasty, Royal Luban box, silk silk in Luban box
It seems no problem to take any of these things individually, but if they are connected together, it immediately reminds Yang Jing of a legendary thing.In case the silk in this box really has traces of that legendary thing, let alone 2000 million US dollars, even if it is [-] million US dollars, Yang Jing will take the box without hesitation.

It is really that the legendary thing is too precious, even if it is just guessing that the silk hidden in this box may be related to that thing, it is definitely worth taking the box.

What if I guess right?What if there is a clue about that thing on the silk?

Therefore, Yang Jing will never let go of this box.

And in Yang Jing's plan, anyway, next year he will start to acquire several banks. As long as the Dragon Fund acquires those banks, it will inevitably conflict with the Boston consortium.In other words, in the next few years, the Dragon Fund is destined to fight the Boston Consortium.

Since this is the case, the people from your Boston consortium took the initiative to provoke first today, so don't blame me for being rude!

Especially once it really competes with the Boston Consortium next year, even with the capital scale of the Dragon Fund, it will need to win over a few allies.

The members of the Mellon family gave Yang Jing a good impression, and Yang Jing and Shi Kaifu also got along very well, and since the Mellon family can't get along with the Boston consortium, why don't you express your attitude at this time?Presumably the Mellon family is also willing to form an alliance with the KY investment fund.

The Mellon family, our Dragon Fund or KY Investment Fund is on your side. I will help you save face today. When my buddies need you in the future, you can’t shirk it.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing glanced at the arrogant fat man indifferently, and said lightly: "5000 million!"
