Chapter 313 Hehe, something's not right (4 words in this chapter)
Xu Tianlan looked very tempted, but a hint of hesitation flashed across her face as she pursed her lips, unable to make a decision for a long time.
Finally, he looked at Master Zhou with pleading eyes.
It's as if Xu Tianlan is willing to give it a shot if he nods.
Master Zhou also received a look from Xu Tianlan, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
Let him see how arrogant you were in front of him before, and how you even dared to lecture him.
Now we should obediently ask for his opinion.
How much money did he earn for Baoruitang during his many years of work there?
No one treats him with the utmost politeness.
Don't think that just because she's the general manager, the boss will dare to give her the cold shoulder.
Kicking him was like kicking a major artery.
Don't blame him for being heartless; blame them for being tactless.
Offending Yu Zhi Yuan will inevitably lead to its demise sooner or later.
Manager Wu had promised him that as long as he helped to screw over Baoruitang, he would not only receive plenty of benefits, but he could also go back to work at Yuzhiyuan after Baoruitang went bankrupt.
Since Baoruitang was bound to go bankrupt sooner or later anyway, he naturally wanted to find a way out for himself.
"Mr. Xu, I think it's totally worth a shot. Such a good rough stone has a high chance of turning green, and the quality is so good too."
Not only can it replenish our supply, but the high quality will also attract a group of high-quality customers.
This is also great publicity for Baoruitang's reputation; it's an absolutely fantastic opportunity for us!
Master Zhou's words were very touching.
It seems that if Baoruitang could be bought, it could be brought back to life.
Upon hearing Master Zhou's words, Xu Tianlan made the final decision.
"Master Zhou, I believe you. It's such a large area. If we were to bid on it, it would probably cost tens of millions of US dollars."
The funds in the account are insufficient right now, and I need to raise more money first. I don't know if I can raise the money in a short time.
Xu Tianlan looked worried, concerned about the money.
"Mr. Xu, you absolutely can't miss such a great opportunity. This is a golden chance for Baoruitang to turn things around."
Master Zhou was secretly pleased when he heard Xu Tianlan's words.
Loans are great, but the more you borrow, the more you lose.
He wanted to see how Xu Tianlan would turn things around after the stone collapsed.
“Master Zhou, you’re absolutely right. I’ll go and discuss it with the boss.”
Then, still feeling uneasy, he spoke to various business owners:
"Gentlemen, Bao Ruitang is raising funds right now. You can't abandon us; this is Bao Ruitang's chance to turn things around!"
Xu Tianlan's attitude was very sincere, as if she had grasped at the last straw, and her tone was somewhat pleading.
The group exchanged glances, a hint of mockery in their eyes, but each offered their assurances:
"Mr. Xu, rest assured, we will definitely give you this opportunity."
"Yes, we're all in the same circle, who else would we help if not you? But, Mr. Xu, you need to hurry, time waits for no one!"
The group chatted and laughed, which added to Xu Tianlan's pressure.
Xu Tianlan hurriedly discussed it with Tian Zhenzhen.
They then started making phone calls, and in the end, including the savings and the money they had just borrowed from the bank, the total came to $3800 million.
We are still $700 million short of the total amount bid by all the bidders.
“Our Baoruitang can offer 3800 million, but that’s still 700 million US dollars short of the bid price. How about we give up some of our share?”
"Our family simply can't eat that much."
Xu Tianlan looked troubled, and then slapped her thigh in frustration.
"Time is of the essence. If only someone could lend us $700 million, I would be willing to pay it back even at high interest rates!"
Hearing Xu Tianlan's complaints, Wu Mingxing became lively again, and his mind raced as he came up with another prank.
"If Mr. Xu wants to borrow money, it's very simple. I, Wu Mingxing, am willing to lend it to you."
Xu Tianlan seemed surprised that Wu Mingxing would be so kind; her face was full of disbelief. Then she pouted and said:
"You're being so kind, but I still remember how you treated Baoruitang before."
Xu Tianlan clearly did not believe Wu Mingxing's words at all.
"Of course I have my own purpose. The interest on the money I lend out is quite high. If you want to borrow money from me, you'll have to pay at least 10% interest."
"I knew you had ulterior motives. I won't borrow money from you with such high interest rates."
Xu Tianlan gave her a look that said, "You really aren't a good person."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Master Zhou spoke up again to offer his advice:
"Mr. Xu, I think this interest rate is acceptable; borrowing money is urgent right now."
This rough stone is quite good. If we can buy it, we can probably sell it quickly, and the money we make will be much more than the interest.
"Such a good opportunity, Mr. Xu can't miss it."
Hearing Master Zhou's words, Xu Tianlan became troubled again.
Finally, as if making a decision, and somewhat resigned to his fate, he said to Wu Mingxing:
"Alright, alright, I'll take the loss. I'm willing to lend you the money. But Wu Mingxing, you're just a manager. Can you come up with 700 million US dollars?"
Xu Tianlan seemed to doubt that Wu Mingxing could come up with so much money, and raised her doubts.
"You don't need to worry about the money, I guarantee you'll get your share. But you, are you going to lend it or not? If you do, we'll have to write an IOU."
"Borrow, of course I'll lend. I'll get my money back and pay you back soon anyway. Consider this interest a bonus."
The two parties then signed a loan agreement. As for the money, Wu Mingxing naturally asked Feng Sanshao to make arrangements.
"You swindled so much money from her, will Baoruitang have the money to pay me back?"
Although 700 million US dollars is not a lot, Feng Sanshao did not want any unexpected situations to occur.
"Third Young Master, you can rest assured, everything has already been arranged."
If they lose all their money gambling, I have plenty of ways to make them pay us back first.
"Then Baoruitang will be ours."
Only after hearing Wu Mingxing's confident assurances did Feng Sanshao arrange the transfer of funds.
"I trust you to handle things. If things go well, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits."
Feng Sanshao's promise delighted Wu Mingxing, who immediately began to flatter him:
"Third Young Master, you are a great leader. I was just doing what you told me to do."
They acquired Baoruitang for $700 million, and the land itself is worth much more than that.
Feng San Shao was very pleased with Wu Mingxing's flattery and revealed a smug smile.
“The matter of Baoruitang is a minor issue; our most important task is to successfully bid on the secret tender.”
This concerns the sales of raw materials for Yuzhiyuan next year.
"Dad entrusted me with such an important task as purchasing, so I must achieve good results."
In particular, we must secure the top bid.
There can be no mistakes in this matter.
Feng San Shao valued the result highly and gave Wu Mingxing repeated instructions.
"Don't worry, Third Young Master. Leave it to me. I'll make sure everything is done perfectly for you, and there won't be any unexpected problems."
Wu Mingxing patted his chest and assured him.
The loan transaction with Xu Tianlan was also successfully completed, and Wu Mingxing did not forget to congratulate her:
"Mr. Xu, you really have guts. Well then, I wish you all your dreams come true."
Wu Mingxing offered half-hearted compliments while carefully tidying up the IOU.
This is an important piece of evidence; it's signed and sealed, and has legal effect. I'm not worried that they'll renege on their promise.
Wu Mingxing plans to keep it close to his body.
"No problem, no problem. I heard that Manager Wu is highly valued by Young Master Feng. He even entrusted you with handling the Jade Edge bidding. It's true that the capable are always given more work!"
"I imagine Manager Wu will get a promotion and a fortune after this trip back."
"You need to have the ability to gain the Third Young Master's trust. Alright, Mr. Xu, I have something to do, so I won't chat with you any longer."
Wu Mingxing didn't say much, and left with his men with an air of grandeur.
Xu Tianlan and Tian Zhenzhen are also making the final price list here.
Master Zhou had already sent them away.
"Boss, these people are really treating us like fools. What should we do next?"
"There are quite a few good items at this public auction. With this batch of goods, we will have more than enough to fill Baoruitang's inventory."
"Good things should be taken, of course. As for the jade's fate, let them go home empty-handed this time."
She had learned about Yu Zhiyuan's situation in the past few days.
This young master Feng was determined to achieve great results, but unfortunately, with her around this time, he could only return empty-handed.
Such a huge mistake is something even Chairman Feng would find difficult to clean up.
Tian Zhenzhen had no intention of letting Yu Zhiyuan go. Since she had entered the jade industry and had the ability to do so, it would be a real loss if she didn't make it the biggest and strongest.
She learned a few tricks from Wu Rongtian's previous dealings with Tianyu Group.
Only when there are huge internal conflicts can she launch her attack.
That's right, Tian Zhenzhen was very unhappy with Yu Zhiyuan, and of course she wanted to acquire it if she had the ability.
"I thought you would have someone steal the auction items from Jade Edge afterward, boss."
This would not only cause Yu Zhi Yuan to lose money, but also leave them with nothing.
The boss has demonstrated the ability to do it.
"No, that would take too long. Besides, I prefer to defeat them head-on. I have plenty of money."
Tian Zhenzhen's money not only did not decrease, but not to mention the daily interest, the monthly dividends from these companies were an astronomical figure.
She is definitely not short of money.
"Okay, I'll do whatever the boss says." Xu Tianlan also looked on with amusement, anticipating the boss's move.
Wu Mingxing and others tallied the numbers and prices for the sealed bids and then put them into the bidding box.
The bidding process for Baoruitang was handed over to Master Zhou.
Master Zhou is the last piece in the game; having him handle these matters will surely put people at ease.
Master Zhou was very satisfied after seeing the bid number and price.
Only when he personally placed the bid form into the bid box did he feel relieved.
This time, Baoruitang is completely finished.
"Master Zhou, you've worked hard these past three days. Starting tomorrow, we'll just wait for the results to be announced. You all should go out and relax."
Xu Tianlan said to Master Zhou.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, you don't need to worry too much. I believe we will definitely make money this time."
"kindness."
Time flew by, and it was time to release the results. Tian Zhenzhen and the others arrived at the exhibition hall early.
The exhibition hall is circular, with many exhibits placed around the perimeter and tables and chairs in the center. There is also a large screen in front, where the bidding results will soon appear.
Before announcing the results, Wu Mingxing walked over again and said to the group with a smile:
"Today is the day the results are in. I wonder if you're nervous, Mr. Xu, after all, Baoruitang took out a loan for this bidding."
If you don't win or lose everything in the betting, your Baoruitang will never be able to recover.
Looking back now, Mr. Xu was too impulsive; he really shouldn't have been so reckless.
Wu Mingxing's intervention at this time was not to offer words of comfort, but rather to provoke aggression.
Xu Tianlan understood his meaning perfectly well.
So you've got her cornered, huh? She retorted:
"I heard that Young Master Feng is very concerned about the outcome of this bidding, as it concerns whether he can gain a foothold in Jade Hall."
As the person in charge, if you don't win a single item at the auction, who knows how Feng Sanshao will deal with you after ruining his plans?
Maybe we'll never have the chance to meet again.
Seeing the outcome this time, Feng Sanshao is certain that Wu Mingxing's fate will not be good.
Wu Mingxing found Xu Tianlan's words amusing.
"Our Jade Edge couldn't win the bid? That's the funniest joke I've ever heard."
With the strength and financial resources of Jade Edge, who can compete with us?
Your idea is utter nonsense.
"Really? Then let's wait and see."
Xu Tianlan simply gave a playful smile.
Wu Mingxing also felt that Xu Tianlan was blindly confident, and that she would have her moment of regret after the bidding results were announced.
As the bidding results were announced, everyone carefully examined the information.
Because there are many items up for auction, the results will not be shown all at once.
Everyone searched for the results based on the numbers, as well as the companies that had won the bids.
Wu Mingxing said with a hint of smugness:
"Third Young Master, you can rest assured. I have many years of experience in bidding, and I can always win satisfactory items for the company."
Our bid was absolutely the highest; no one could beat us.
"Hmm." Young Master Feng simply gave a soft "hmm."
Although he came here to earn merit, Feng Sanshao knew how important the outcome of this bidding was.
He took this matter very seriously.
Once the results are in, the first version of the page will appear, and then you can start looking for their company.
He searched around but couldn't find it. Then he started checking the corresponding number and quickly realized something was wrong.
He discovered that none of these numbers were followed by their company name.
It must be said that the appraisers at Yuzhiyuan are quite capable; they can basically make a profit from the ones they select.
So when he saw that these numbers were followed by the letters and symbols of Baoruitang, Feng Sanshao's expression changed.
"What's going on? Why are all the serial numbers ending in 'Baoruitang'?"
Wu Mingxingye also found the content displayed on the screen unbelievable.
Logically speaking, this situation shouldn't occur.
Could it be that Master Zhou missed these small items?
All he could do was explain, "These are just some small items; Bao Ruitang probably got lucky."
Feng Sanshao didn't say much about the result, but his furrowed brows showed his unease.
After the time allotted for the first page was up, the winning bid information for the second page quickly appeared.
