money trouble

Chapter 216 Blockbuster auction [3]

"What's the secret in Leeds Castle that makes them so nervous?" Wu Qian rubbed his chin, looked at the computer screen with bright eyes, looked back and forth at those people who had just sat upright, as if the secret was in these people same body.

At the same time, in another suite not far from Wu Qian, a private manor and a hilltop castle, the atmosphere gradually became tense.

"I don't know if the news is true, but it's not wrong to take pictures of Leeds Castle first!" Clark Vecchio whispered to himself in a room about 40 meters away from Wu Qian.

"Could it be a conspiracy to make us bid for Leeds Castle at a high price? I can't control that much, we must take it!" In a study room in the castle on the top of the mountain, a middle-aged man with a thick cigar in his mouth whispered. There are several rows of three-meter-high bookshelves inside, and the bookshelves are full of books bound in various ancient methods. A small delicate white staircase leans against the bookshelves for taking books.

"In any case, taking pictures of Leeds Castle will naturally be confirmed, Leeds Castle must be mine!" Beside a low hill, in a wooden villa, a man in his 40s frowned and murmured in a very domineering tone. He is one of the descendants of the Agnelli family, Rapo Elkann.

Labo Elkann is one of the big bosses of the Italian football team Juventus, the vice president of Fiat Group, and a proper domineering president. His handsome appearance makes him look nothing like a middle-aged man.

In the auction house, when the auctioneer introduced Leeds Castle, he found many pairs of eyes staring at him. This feeling was very uncomfortable. He unconsciously said: "Could it be that the most sought-after thing in this auction is this Leeds Castle?" ? But...why?"

The auctioneer noticed that something was wrong, but could not analyze the specific reason. Sotheby's high-level executives also learned about the situation through the live broadcast. The Italians seemed to be aiming at Leeds Castle, but the specific reason was unknown.

"Leeds Castle, the 'Queen of the Castle', has experienced various stories in the castle for more than a thousand years...Leeds Castle is estimated at 2250 million pounds, and the starting price is 1800 million pounds. The auction will start...1801 million pounds...1802 ..." The auctioneer wanted to return to his mind, the auction still had to continue, he chanted the price absently.

The auction started, and the auctioneer found a strange problem. Those guys staring at him with bright eyes didn't move at all, as if they didn't intend to participate in the auction at all.

There are many stories about Leeds Castle, whether there are official historical records or folklore, there are all kinds of poignant, romantic and terrifying legends.Think about it too, a residence with a history of more than 1000 years has been handled countless times, and no one can fully reveal the secrets of the past.

For more than 20 years, Leeds Castle has been open to the public, and this meeting will be auctioned again. Naturally, the cost of the exhibition is not enough to maintain, and the government does not want to bear those costs.

The enthusiasm for the auction of Leeds Castle is not very high, because the starting price is really not low. This is not low for the rich with an investment mentality, not including those who want to spend a lot of money to buy their favorite people, and not including Wu Qian and several big families in Italy. people.

"Those people have no signs of making a move." Wu Qian rubbed his chin and looked at the computer screen and muttered.

"Boss, you didn't make a move either..." Kux said, the German was very fond of disrupting the situation, and he was sluggish.

Wu Qian gave Kux a white look, and said, "You're right, hey, look, someone has made a move."

While Wu Qian was talking to Cooks, he saw a man in a dark suit standing up and holding up an auction sign, shouting, "5000 million pounds."

Although the voice of the man in the suit was loud, his demeanor and tone were very calm. The price was raised more than twice from 1903 million pounds to 2 million pounds!It seems that what he shouted out just now is not money, but pure numbers, which makes people's pores explode!
If 5000 million pounds were used to buy gold, it would be enough to buy 1.2 tons!
Whoa!
When the quotation of 5000 million pounds landed, after a short period of silence in the auction venue, there was a huge uproar, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the bidder.

"My God, are you crazy? This is crazy!" someone asked and answered.

"Githers Quries! I have no problem with my ears." Someone plucked his ears vigorously.

"Holy fuck mama!" Someone cursed. Naturally, it was a rich man who was interested in Leeds Castle and was bidding.

After calling out the price, the auctioneer was not in a hurry to bid the price, but first confirmed the number on the bidder's auction plate, and after seeing who the bidder was, he took a deep breath and said forcefully, "Liz Castle, 5000 million pounds! Is there any bid!"

The auctioneer even gave up advocating that this price has touched his soul, and the auctioneer believes that even if he doesn't fart, someone will jump out to compete with him. After all, there are so many people with inexplicable faces staring at him. The man in a dark suit shouting prices, he can see very clearly from a high place.

"The people of the Areotti family are very good..."

"Clark Vecchio, you are a good guy...Is it because the sales of medicines are good or the sales of glasses are high recently, which makes you so inflated!"

Among the castle and manor on the top of the mountain, the two people sitting in front of the computer screen whispered at the same time, and the good show started.

The Arreotti family business is the Menarini Group, founded in 1886, is the largest multinational biopharmaceutical company in Italy. The company has established many branches around the world, and its total revenue ranks among the top in the European pharmaceutical industry.

At the same time, Clark Viggio also founded the Luxottica Group, which is a multinational group company specializing in the manufacture and sales of glasses. It is the largest manufacturer of glasses in the world and is headquartered in Milan.

LensCrafters, as an internationally renowned optical retail chain brand, is currently the largest optical retail chain in North America.Moreover, Luxottica Group also owns many top international fashion brands, including Ray-Ban, Bvlgari, Burberry, Chanel, Dolce&Gabbana, Prada and so on.

The asking price of the Areotti family did not cause any trouble to those who really wanted to bid for Leeds Castle, because those who knew the inside story knew that this price was not enough to win Leeds Castle!

Those who bid on the spot did not know which faction the bidder represented.

Rosalind frowned slightly. From her position, she could see a side face of the man who bid the price. She couldn't tell which family this man belonged to, but she could definitely be one of the three major Italian families. .

"The BOSS should take action too." Rosalind thought to herself.

Wu Qian didn't act in a hurry, he is hiding in the dark now, he can check the situation more before moving, don't panic.
