Everyone in the grand banquet hall of the Mellon family manor didn't expect that this humble box, which didn't even bid just now, would soar to a full $10 million in just a few minutes!
Just after Mr. Cole Smith offered a low price of 120000 US dollars, everyone thought that the mysterious tycoon would win the same mysterious box at a low price. As a result, Harper Lawrence from Boston even participated in the bidding.
In terms of the rules of the auction, Harper Lawrence is right to do so. After all, the auction is a place for bidding. Whoever has a high price will take away the auction products.
But the problem is that this is not a formal auction, and just now you Harper Lawrence clearly didn't like this half box, otherwise why didn't you bid just now?
You have to wait until Cole Smith makes a bid before you make a bid. You obviously have a problem. On this occasion, in Yanjing dialect, this is a very bad thing.
The most important thing is, can Harper Lawrence really see the value of this box? Or do you really need this box? The Mellon family hasn't figured out what this box is for for for nearly a century. Can you figure it out?
By doing so, you are clearly targeting Cole Smith.
And from the point of view of action, you obviously did that.
They quoted Cole Smith a low price of 120000, and you quoted 200000. When Cole Smith quoted 200000, you quoted 500000... As a result, Harper Lawrence Leng quoted the sky high price of $10 million for a broken box that had no bidding just now.
You Harper Lawrence are really rich. You may not be able to earn a billion dollars, but as you are known to all Americans, if you can be willing to spend 10 million dollars to buy such a useless broken box, then the sun will rise from the Pacific Ocean.
You're not bidding. You're just making trouble. This is the face of the Meron family in the fan of red fruit.
Timothy Mellon and Schiff's faces have become so ugly that even Paul Mellon, who has never been in charge of family business, can't sit still. That is, Richard Kim Mellon went back to his room early. If the old man was there, he must blow out the shit stirring stick with his temper.
"Ten million..." Yang Jing still said a number calmly. As expected, his offer was only ten thousand dollars higher than Harper Lawrence's silly goods.
Although the people at the scene did not know whether the mysterious Cole Smith was fighting with Harper Lawrence, they could see that even if he was fighting, Cole Smith was full of confidence.
But obviously, Harper Lawrence, who just came to make trouble, really became angry this time. After Cole Smith said the figure of 10 million, he offered a price of "20 million" without even considering it.
As soon as the price came out, there was a low voice in the hall.
This box is different from the bronze sculpture of the climber just now. The value of that sculpture is basically clear to everyone present, but this broken box can't be worth $20 million anyway. Harper Lawrence was clearly fooling around when he quoted the price.
"Bang!" Paul Mellon, over 80, slapped the table and stood up. "Mr. Lawrence, this is Mellon manor, not your Massachusetts mutual life insurance company. Please show your respect."
As soon as old Paul said this, the whole audience was silent.
Everyone knows that although the third generation core figure of the Mellon family does not manage the family business, his temper is known in the circle. More than 40 years ago, at a gathering of top executives celebrating the victory of World War II, Paul Mellon, then in his forties, scolded President Truman on the spot because of a disagreement. If someone hadn't stopped him, Truman would have been beaten by old Paul that day.
Now old Paul is in his eighties, but his temper is as good as before.
"Mr. Lowell, this is the Mellon family, not your Boston. Please respect your people!" as soon as old Paul finished Lawrence, he directly targeted Alex Lowell, the chairman of the first National Bank of Boston and the contemporary core figure of the Lowell family.
Unlike the domineering Harper Lawrence, Alex Lowell is the core banner figure of the contemporary Boston consortium. In the Boston consortium composed of several families, Alex Lowell is the real core figure. Among the 11 people who smoked cigars in the cigar house with Yang Jing just now, there is Alex Lowell, Without Harper Lawrence.
It's just unexpected that even if old Paul was angry, Alex Lowell just spread his hands with a bitter smile and shook his head. It clearly means, "I can't control that guy. It's no use looking for me."
Obviously, there is something wrong with this matter today. Originally, it was just an unknown broken box. As a result, the broken box turned out to be a fuse. Now the fuse has been lit, and the other end of the fuse is connected with two giants, the Boston consortium and the Mellon family.
The people who can come here are not fools. They are all human spirits among human spirits, so they immediately realized that something was wrong, and the whole banquet hall immediately quieted down.
This is involved in the struggle between the two consortia. Although people on the scene know that the Mellon family and the Boston consortium have fought fiercely secretly in recent ten years, although the Mellon family has a slight advantage, the advantage is not very obvious.
Behind the Mellon family is the alliance of the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, but behind the Boston consortium is there no alliance of the DuPont family?
However, this kind of secret struggle is only limited to a specific scope. Neither the Mellon family nor the Boston consortium will expand the scope or make this struggle superficial. They all know that once the two consortia really work with live ammunition, the whole 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 break out today because of a small broken box.
This is one of the bases of the Mellon family. It's 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 sweating. He wished he could drop the hammer immediately to determine the ownership of the broken box, but he didn't dare to drop the hammer.
There is a huge Boston Consortium on one side. Although there is only a mysterious Cole Smith here, this man just smoked cigars with the core figures of the top ten consortia. After coming out, he had a good conversation with many top tycoons. Everyone can see that this man's background is also unfathomable.
In particular, old Paul was angry. This matter has now risen to another level of struggle, which is far beyond the control of small people like him. To calm the matter, unless one of the two masters takes the initiative to quit, but it is obvious that the mysterious Cole Smith does not want to quit, and Mr. Harper Lawrence is obviously angry now.
It may be possible to let one of them withdraw voluntarily at this time, but it is absolutely beyond the control of his little auctioneer.
You didn't see that even old Mr. Paul was angry, but the bidding still didn't seem to stop.
Bloomberg also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pulled Yang Jing's cape and whispered, "cole, do you really want to continue the competition? I don't think it's a good idea. Those people of the Boston consortium have obviously stood together."
Yang Jing lightly shook her head, but there was still no sound.
Now he can't see what's going on? He has now been inadvertently involved in the struggle between the two consortia.
Yang Jing didn't want to be caught in the middle, but the box suddenly reminded him of a very important thing. If he hadn't suddenly remembered it, he wouldn't let go of the box.
Li Congke, the late emperor of the late Tang Dynasty, the Royal Luban box, the silk in Luban box
It seems no problem to take out any of these things alone, but if they are connected together, it immediately reminds Yang Jing of a legendary thing. If the silk in the box really has traces of the legendary thing, let alone 20 million dollars, even 200 million dollars, Yang Jing will take the box without hesitation.
The legendary thing is really too valuable. Even if it is only speculated that the silk hidden in the box may be related to that thing, it is definitely worth taking the box.
What if you guessed right? What if there's a clue about that thing on the silk?
Therefore, Yang Jing will never let go of this box.
Moreover, in Yang Jing's plan, we will start to acquire several banks next year. 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 with the Boston consortium.
Since that's the case, the people of your Boston consortium took the initiative to provoke first today, 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 needs to win over several allies.
The Mellon family made a good impression on Yang Jing. Yang Jing and Schiff also talked very well. Moreover, since the Mellon family can't come to the Boston consortium, why don't you show your attitude at this time? Presumably, the Mellon family is also willing to form an alliance with KY investment fund.
Mellon family, our Dragon Fund or KY investment fund is on your side. I'll help you recover your face today. You can't shirk it when your brothers need you in the future
Thinking of this, Yang Jing glanced at the arrogant fat man and said faintly, "50 million!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
