In this half an hour, the female socialites were completely unattractive. All the women felt neglected and had no place to play.
That was because in every corner, the tycoons were trying to find loopholes to invest. Even if they could only get a small share of the profits, it would be good. In addition to sponsors, there were also people who took the initiative to ask for money. Although it was not much, what if they only needed a few hundred million?
The key was that supporting them at this time was one thing. You might even be able to build a relationship with them and have a start for future cooperation. This was all about networking. Sometimes, it was better to provide help in times of need than icing on the cake. These small groups of tycoons had high emotional intelligence. They were all looking for opportunities. Who would be in the mood to chase after women?
With hundreds of millions of profits at stake tonight, how much were women worth?
In short, there were small gangs all over the Bund below the castle discussing how to cooperate. The amount of money they talked about was easily billions of dollars.
Time passed quickly. Twenty minutes later, less than two minutes from the 30 minute mark, everyone entered the venue one after another.
After the host went on stage, he looked at the hundreds of tycoons below the stage and jokingly asked, "Is there no one bidding again this time?"
Some people below the stage could not help but laugh.
"Then let's get down to business. Let's get straight to the point. The European distribution rights are officially opened. The starting price is 20 billion dollars. Each bid is 1 billion. Please bid."
The Arabian royal family raised their sign. "22 billion dollars!"
Everyone present was startled.
The battle had finally begun! As expected, the tycoons were stubborn and direct.
The Dubai Sheikh raised his sign. "25 billion dollars!"
The audience was in an uproar!
This was too crazy. It had soared to 3 billion dollars!
"The Dubai Sheikh bids 25 billion dollars. Who else is bidding? You should know that the profits from the 'Resurrection' series alone generated 10 billion dollars last year. There is at least a guarantee of 30 billion dollars in three years. Moreover, the profits from this year's new product 'Vision' are also considerable. I think everyone here has a financial investment consultant. I don't need to say much to know the value of the distribution rights, right? "
The Arabian royal family: "26 billion dollars!"
Before the host shouted, the Dubai Sheikh raised his sign. "30 billion dollars!"
There was another gasp below the stage. This bid had not been prepared at all. It had jumped to 4 billion dollars. Wasn't 4 billion dollars money? How dare they shout like this?
The Arabian royal family frowned. They really could not figure out whether the Dubai people were brainless or not. Increasing the amount of profits by increasing the amount of profits is going to be smaller and smaller. Is he here to cause trouble?
"That's Prince Haber's eldest son, Hesse. It's normal for a young man to be brainless. I think 30 billion is almost enough to cover the profit of 'resurrection'. The remaining increments are equivalent to gambling on the profit of 'Vision'. My estimate of the profit of 'Vision' is 5 to 10 billion over three years. So, the most we can do now is to raise the bid to 33 billion. Otherwise, there's almost no profit to be made." The Arabian financial advisor analyzed, "Should we give up or fight for it?"
"Try again." The Arab Crown Prince raised his paddle and shouted, "31 billion!"
Without batting an eyelid, Hersey raised his paddle and said, "35 billion!"
Hiss!
Everyone gasped, especially those female companions. They all looked at Hersey with stars in their eyes. They almost wanted to give birth to his children.
"The Dubai tycoons are really rich. I don't think they are here to invest today. They are here to represent Dubai to make their presence known. I have to say that every time they bid, my heart palpitates. I have never seen such a big scene in my life." Several socialites expressed their infatuation.
The King of Arabia really wanted to smash the table.
Do you even f * cking know how to bid? We are all members of the royal family, why not give face and be so aggressive?
Just when the Arab Crown Prince was about to raise his paddle, the consultant beside him pulled his hand and said, "Let's just give up."
"It's not a matter of giving up now, it's a matter of our Arab royal family's face!" the Crown Prince said angrily, and then he raised his paddle. "36 billion!"
Hersey: "40 billion!"
Pu!
The Arab Crown Prince almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
The audience all gave Hersey a sidelong glance.
What an unparalleled tycoon!
If he didn't tell Hersey the price he had in mind, Hersey wouldn't have dared to bid so boldly.
The battle between the two world-class tycoons directly leaned towards the Dubai Royal Family, and the Arab Royal Family directly gave up.
The host knocked on the table and said, "The European distribution rights of the two brands, Resurrection and Vision, have been sold for 40 billion USD. Let us congratulate the Dubai Royal Family."
The audience applauded enthusiastically, and Hersey smiled as he stood up and went backstage to sign the contract.
40 billion USD!
The female companions in the audience went crazy.
Almost 280 billion USD!
How many Hermès bags, expensive watches, and perfumes were there?
"To be honest, this is my first time hosting such a big auction, and I think it will be the most expensive auction in history. Tonight, the European distribution rights and distribution rights have already appeared. 40 billion USD, but that's not the total amount for tonight's auction. Let us continue to focus on the next two regions. Next, the Bei Mei region auction officially begins."
Sequoia Venture Capital's representative: "21 billion!"
Goldman Sachs Venture Capital: "22 billion!"
Morgan Stanley Venture Capital: "24 billion!"
Wall Street Financial Group: "26 billion!"
At this moment, the Mexican mafia and the California Consortium jointly raised their paddles. "30 billion USD!"
This price directly made the three major venture capital companies give up.
The remaining Wall Street Financial Group paused for a moment and then raised their paddles. "31 billion!"
The Wall Street Financial Group paused for a moment and then said to the California Consortium's representative, "With this price, we are betting on whether or not Vision can sell well. To be honest, Vision's price is a bit low, and the profit margin for the distributors is limited. In three years, I estimate it to be 5 billion USD, and it can't go any higher. So, 32 billion USD, if you want more than that, you can have it. "
They were professional analysts, and the California consortium was a little hesitant. However, at this time, Stenson interrupted with a smile, "A year ago, it was also these Wall Street analysts who valued our company at 50 billion. Everyone has seen the results."
The people below the stage all laughed.
The Wall Street Financial Group's faces were red, and they were a little embarrassed. They retorted, "If Vision can generate 7 billion USD in three years, we Wall Street Financial Group will run naked on that street!"
Stenson said loudly, "Okay, not to mention 7 billion, I can guarantee that at least 10 billion USD in three years will be given to the distributors."
Hearing Stenson's confident words, the California Consortium raised their paddles. "Okay, we'll take 33 billion USD!"
The Wall Street Financial Group complained in their hearts. F * ck, if it weren't for Stenson, they would have given up long ago.
The Wall Street Financial Group had wanted to raise their paddles for 2 billion USD, but the host knocked on the table. "Okay, 33 billion USD sold. Congratulations to the California Consortium for winning the North American distribution rights for the next three years for 33 billion USD."
The Wall Street Financial Group directly vomited blood.
The California Consortium's status in the US wasn't bad, and Xu Cheng needed them to support Jerry in the US.
