Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2393 Quotation Revealed
Half an hour later, the six people returned to the meeting room. Judging from the expressions on their faces, they were in different moods at this time.

The final offer had already been handed over to Lin Daoqiu before entering the meeting room, so they just had to wait for the final result now.

The expressions on the faces of Yabs and Eliwood looked very serious, because they were the most disturbed among the six people.

It stands to reason that the combination of Twain Morgan and Anderson Mellon should be the easiest, because they have already gone all out.

But the strange thing is that from the moment they entered the door, both Eliwood and Jodl Rockefeller had a smile on their faces, and they didn't know what they were laughing at.

"Smiling so happily, do you know that you have lost this time, so you feel a lot more relaxed?"

Twain Morgan was obviously unwilling to let go of the opportunity to taunt the other party, because such opportunities were rare.

"Is it lost? Tang En, the farce is just a farce after all. I have seen your little thoughts clearly."

Fitch Dupont looked at Dunn Morgan with a sneer and said, his words made everyone on the scene look puzzled. Everyone didn't know what Fitch Dupont meant by these words.

Could it be that he had already guessed Dunn Morgan's final offer, and that's why he was so sure?

If that's the case, it can only be said that Fitch DuPont is indeed better than Dunn Morgan.

"It seems that you are quite confident. I hope that when the result comes out, you will still be as confident as you are now."

Twain Morgan did not continue to bicker with Fitch DuPont this time, it seemed that he wanted to see the result quickly.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu came in from the outside, holding three envelopes in his hand, which were the final quotations of the three companies.

"According to what we said before, the hidden bid this time will determine the final result. No matter what the result is, I don't hope that there will be any objections to it when the result comes out."

Lin Daoqiu didn't want to continue arguing with them. He just wanted to finalize the bidding as soon as possible, and then discuss the next related matters with his future partners.

But none of the six people present had any objection to Lin Daoqiu's words, so the unveiling ceremony officially began.

Lin Daoqiu opened the three envelopes one after another, and then spread out the papers inside one by one.

"Mr. Yabbs and Mr. Eliwood's final offer was ... $110 billion."

Lin Daoqiu unfolded the note and read it aloud. Yabs and the others finally offered $28 billion more than the offer before the secret bid.

This price was given after discussion between Yabs and Charlie Wood, and they felt that it was affordable and within a reasonable amount.

But when Lin Daoqiu finished reading, neither Fitch Dupont nor Twain Morgan showed any expressions on their faces. They looked very calm, which meant that their quotation must be higher than that of Yabs.

After reading the quotation from Yabs, Lin Daoqiu immediately unfolded the second note, which was the final quotation given by Fitch DuPont and Jodl Rockefeller.

"The final offer from Mr. Fitch and John D. Rockefeller is $120 billion."

After Lin Daoqiu finished reading, he unfolded the note to everyone to confirm the authenticity of the numbers he read.

Yabs and Eliwood have no objection to this, which means they are out.

However, there is still the last offer that has not been announced, so it is not certain who the final winner of this auction will be.

The smile on Fitch Dupont's face slowly subsided at this time, and he didn't even notice that he had started to get nervous.

Even after a careful analysis with John D. Rockefeller just now, it was concluded that Dunn Morgan would choose to give up in the final quotation stage, and then trick himself into giving a high quotation.

If Twain Morgan was the only one, it would be hard to guess what the result would be, but with Anderson Mellon teaming up with him, the answer would be obvious.

Although Anderson Mellon is a member of the Mellon Consortium, he is not a core member. It is difficult to imagine how difficult it is for him to persuade the Mellon Consortium to spend more than US$50 billion for this deal.

Unless Anderson Mellon is very optimistic about the future of "Reader Times" and New Oriental Pictures, then he will choose to fight with his own future.

Otherwise, under such circumstances, the best way for Anderson Mellon is to choose to give up.

"This is my third and final offer."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he unfolded the note, which was signed by Tang En Morgan and Anderson Mellon.

Looking at the envelope in his hand, Lin Daoqiu suddenly fell silent.

"What's wrong with Mr. Lin? Could it be that Tang En's final offer doesn't even include the amount?"

Fitch Dupont smiled. He felt that Lin Daoqiu's reaction at this time should mean that Twain Morgan and the others did not make an offer in the end, but chose to leave blank and abstain.

After Fitch Dupont finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu responded.

He first smiled, and then read.

"Mr. Tang En and Mr. Anderson's final quotation is... US$130 billion, which is the highest among the three groups of quotations..."

"I'm here to officially announce that Mr. Dunn and Mr. Anderson won this hidden bid."

"what……"

Fitch Dupont stood up from his chair in surprise. He never thought that Dunn Morgan and Anderson Mellon would pay 130 for [-]% of the shares of these two companies. Is he crazy?

Lin Daoqiu unfolded the note in public, and the quotation on it was 130 billion US dollars, and there were signatures of Twain Morgan and Anderson Mellon, which could never be faked.

"You two, sometimes the flaws are just a cover-up. It can only be said that you are too blind to trust your own judgment. Does the combination of the two necessarily mean that the funds will be paid in half? No? Go up"

Dunn Morgan laughed. The purpose of his cooperation with Anderson was to mislead Fitch DuPont and John D. Rockefeller.

If he was the only one participating in this auction, the final offer would definitely exceed 130 billion.

But it was precisely because I found Anderson that they mistakenly thought that I was just here to make trouble, so I was able to win the final victory like now.

Fitch Dupont was about to explode, he didn't expect Dunn Morgan to use their inertial thinking to mislead them.

But it's useless to say these things now, because Twain Morgan's offer was the highest among the three groups, so they completely lost this round.

"Twain, I underestimated you this time, but I assure you that this is definitely the last time."

Fitch Dupont got up and left the conference room directly after finishing speaking, followed by Jod Rockefeller.

"Congratulations to both of you."

Although Yabs and Eliwood were unwilling, they still congratulated Dunn and Anderson in a gracious manner before leaving the meeting room.
