Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 296 Chapter 295, What is a real shopping spree? (4K)

There weren't many people in the auction hall, only about a hundred at most. At first glance, one-third of them had blonde hair and blue eyes, one-third wore white robes, and one-third looked Asian.

There is no doubt that everyone present is wealthy.

Lin Chu took a quick look but didn't see any particularly familiar faces.

Ok……

In fact, in this circle, I am probably the stranger.

The new rich.

The old money guys have long been interdependent with each other. Even if they have not cooperated, they must have heard of your great names for a long time.

The accumulation of money and fame is synchronous, and popularity and influence ferment over time.

As for myself, it has been less than half a year at most.

Mentally, Lin Chu has always wanted to slow down, to slow down his pace. He has thought about using three to five years to gradually digest everything he has now.

But this means I can’t rest.

There is always a sense of urgency that time is running out.

But sometimes, if you look at the bigger picture, you will realize that time is of the essence.

Metaphysical theories are used on the Internet to analyze that the next twenty years will be a time of great fortune and great changes for the Nine Li Purple Fire. Judging from the actual situation, this is indeed the case.

have to.

Make money.

Don't think too much about it.

During this trip to the Middle East and Europe, let’s see if we can get some useful assets.

Lin Chu had thought about it before, and thought about settling down a home abroad.

But after repeated consideration, I rejected this idea.

Putting aside the issue of living habits and whether they can integrate into the society, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the East wins and becomes the world leader again.

The road may be a little tortuous, but the future is definitely bright.

This made Lin Chu even feel extremely excited.

What will the world look like in ten years?
I want to be the boss!
Not just domestic!

It belongs to the whole world!
Please call me...Zhongye!
"Chu, here!"

Rashid was sitting with a few people in white robes. When he saw Lin Chu come in, he stood up and greeted him.

The auction hasn't started yet and there are already a lot of people whispering to each other.

He was the one who sent Lin Chu the invitation, and their seats were originally next to each other.

The hospitable Rashid wanted to introduce this good friend from China to his friends at this moment.

I had a lot of fun these days!
After looking at him, Lin Chu shook his head and smiled, then walked towards him.

Take your seat.

Five white robes.

In such occasions, you will often see local women, as it is a tradition.

As for the appearance of the five people...

To be honest, I am a little face-blind and can't tell them apart very well. It may be because they share a common bloodline.

But they are all very handsome.

As for royal blood, at least one of the parents must be good-looking, so the child can't be too ugly.

If I have a son in the future, he will definitely be more handsome than me.

After all, no matter which one becomes a mother, she is a great beauty.

If she is ugly, there is no doubt that she is cheating on you.

Rashid's Chinese is OK.

But others don't quite know how to do it.

Lin Chu's English is not good either.

After a few awkward conversations, we ran out of common topics. It was difficult to translate, so we waited patiently for the auction to begin.

"Chu, which one do you like? I'll take a picture of it and give it to you."

Rashid didn't want to ignore his friend, so after chatting with the other party for a few words, he leaned over to Lin Chu's ear and said with a smile.

When they first met, the jade necklace Lin Chu gave him was very valuable. Naturally, he knew what good was. But now, he didn't even have a suitable return gift, so this auction was a good opportunity.

The little prince knew how to return a favor.

After all, he comes from a royal family, and he has a generosity in his bones.

International etiquette.

"No."

Lin Chu shook his head, revealing his white teeth: "Not this time. However, I have something I would like to ask you for help. Help me find a store in Dubai to do luxury goods business."

I haven't told him about this yet, so it's just right to use the favor here.

Anyway, don't affect me from buying blue and white porcelain.

These are all used to make money.

"OK, no problem, leave it to me."

"Then do you want to open a few more?"

"One at the airport, one at the Burj Khalifa, and one at the Burj Al Arab? I own properties in all three places. If you want them, I'll give them all for free."

Rashid smiled and winked, showing a bit of pride in showing off his wealth successfully.

To save face!
You can’t always look at Lin Chuxuan!

This amount of money is just a small amount and is nothing at all.

If you really want to calculate, even if you pay all the rent over a few years, it won't be more than 10 million US dollars.

Lin Chu smiled and nodded.

"Okay, that's great."

Is rent-free okay?
So cool.

Most of the local real estate properties are definitely monopolized by the royal family, which can be called the golden goose that lays eggs.

When I played with them these past two days, I often heard him point to a building on the street and say what time it was, and which prince or princess it was given as a gift by which uncle.

It’s... quite feudal.

Enfeoffment, construction.

At this time.

Yang Huixian, who was standing next to them, was listening to their conversation and a smile from the bottom of her heart appeared on her lips.

This little prince is really generous and worthy of his reputation.

It seems that Lin Chu’s “public relations” these two days are still very effective.

As for the life of debauchery and drinking, it's nothing more than a show, don't worry about it.

There's nothing I can do about caring.

I can only ignore it.

The more you care, the less Lin Chu cares about you.

This is an obvious truth.

Yang Huixian had already thought it through clearly.

……

A blonde woman and a man in a suit walked onto the stage, greeting everyone enthusiastically and announcing the official start of the auction.

At this moment, Lin Chu inexplicably thought of a plot from a novel he had read - at the meeting, he had no money to rob, so after the meeting, he killed someone and robbed the goods, getting both the person and the goods.

Tsk.

It feels good just thinking about it.

Almost burst out laughing.

But then I thought again, damn, I must be the one being “killed”!

I was bored and thinking about all this when bidding for the first item began.

At the beginning, everyone's bids were relatively cautious, and they increased slowly.

After a few rounds, Lin Chu started bidding.

When arranging the lounges, they are arranged from the highest price to the lowest price.

During an auction, it is naturally the other way around.

This large blue and white jar with the figure of Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon is the cheapest of the nine pieces in the collection because of its small size. The starting price is only 102 million dirhams, equivalent to 198 million yuan.

The electronic display screen at the back shows the conversion prices between various currencies.

Right now, the price has been raised to three million.

Lin Chu raised the sign continuously for several rounds, and then no one followed.

Finally, it was bought for 3.55 million.

A piece of cake.

No pressure. He nodded at Yang Huixian and said, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'm done with my fun."

Yang Huixian licked her lips and nodded slightly.

She had seen and eaten it, and had also attended an auction before. Those three jadeite rough stones worth hundreds of millions were all bought by her.

In this situation, it’s no big deal.

Making money is difficult, but spending money is something I am very good at.

Lin Chuze turned around and started chatting with Rashid as if nothing had happened.

"You know, I'm in the luxury goods industry."

After starting, Lin Chuyun said calmly.

“Great, great business, I like it.”

Rashid flattered him very politely, saying that this was indeed a very good business, especially to his liking, a man who even had Hermès trash cans at home, with the handles even inlaid with gold.

"I currently have a plan to acquire several luxury brands or companies around the world, including those from LVMH, Kering, or Richemont. If you have a suitable channel, please introduce it to me."

"Money is nothing."

Lin Chu's attitude was very nonchalant. These three companies were currently the largest, but they focused on different areas. If he really wanted to buy, he could start with any of them.

The brand is the most valuable.

I have done some research myself and found that it takes at least 20 years for a newly established luxury brand to mature, and the right time, place and people are all essential.

Spend money to save time.

"Ok?"

When Rashid heard this, he was shocked at first, then his eyes lit up and he seemed very excited.

Buy a luxury brand! ?

This kind of thing is exciting just thinking about it.

It's not about money.

It's a sense of accomplishment.

This is exactly what he lacks most right now.

"I know something about this. It seems that our country's sovereign investment fund has a stake in the LV Group. I'll ask you in detail later."

Lin Chu: Uh.

Ok.

The sovereign investment funds of wealthy families and Temasek Holdings in Singapore can be said to be typical examples of using national finances as investment funds.

That's truly wealth that can rival a country.

These big players have been rich for many years, and it is really difficult to cooperate with them and grab shares of high-quality assets.

And they represent national sovereignty.

Who the hell do you think you are?
After looking around twice, Lin Chu began to think about countermeasures. As long as things were moving forward, there would be problems.

This goal itself is too big.

The auction was still going on, and the second item had been decided and was won by our side.

But Lin Chu's heart is no longer here.

Various thoughts flashed through my mind, and I pushed them down to the most fundamental logic and feasible routes.

As he was thinking, a thought quietly emerged from the water.

——I should start a bank first!
This goal is quite ambitious, but compared with the acquisition of LV, it can be considered a split step.

It is relatively easy to buy foreign banks.

After all, most of it is private and part of the financial business.

All you need to do is buy a bank with all the necessary licenses, regardless of its size, and then inject capital like crazy. After that, no matter what operation you do, it will be very convenient.

"Mr. Bian, is there any precedent for domestic capital acquiring a foreign bank?"

Lin Chu casually sent a text message to Bian Gaige.

For matters like this, it is better to consult the think tank in advance to avoid falling into traps.

Bian Reform quickly responded.

"Yes, why not?"

"CCB has acquired a bank in Brazil overseas, and ICBC has already acquired Standard Bank of South Africa and Standard Bank of Argentina. They are working very hard... What's going on? Are you tempted? This is really a good business. I support it!"

"Of course, you need enough money... at least 5 billion US dollars, right? Have you reached this level?"

He became interested and spoke excitedly.

When Lin Chu saw the news, a smile appeared on his face.

It seems like... I've figured it out.

An important starting step has been taken.

"Well...why don't you come to Dubai? Let's discuss this matter? I'm also going to Paris in a couple of days, and it would be best if I could do a full inspection. If we can finalize this matter, it would be great."

An old house where a treasure.

While reform is ongoing, it can provide some perspectives and reminders on many issues.

"Okay."

Bian Gaige did not hesitate and agreed quickly.

This kind of thing is very exciting, you must go!

He didn't even talk about money with Lin Chu!

If you really want to buy a foreign bank, or even a European bank, then what does this labor fee mean?
A drop in the bucket!
Not even a hair!
"Okay, I'll book you a flight now. I'm in Dubai and I miss you."

Lin Chu replied with a smile and made a casual remark.

"I miss you too. Wait, I'll find a few experts who study international economics and legal procedures. I'll tell them first and bring them all with me."

This old man is a little bit over the top.

But this is naturally a good thing.

There is strength in numbers.

What does shopping mean?
This is the real shopping spree!

Buying some consumer goods is not a shopping spree; it's just giving money to others.

People like me are what we call real shopping sprees!
Although I do not have the strength of international capital now, I at least have some of the mentality and attitude of international capital.

Capital without external aggression and expansion cannot be called capital at all; it is just capital that acts like a bully at home.

Dry!
The auction is still in full swing.

Lin Chu's blood was boiling.

Many people on the field focused their eyes on this area at this moment, and some were whispering to each other.

This is the fifth collection.

The previous four items were all bought by these Chinese people in Area C of the auction.

Moreover, the premium is quite high.

They are determined not to give up until they get what they want.

Even just now, when the fourth piece of collection was launched, someone made a malicious sniping move and deliberately raised the price very high.

However, it still lost to the Chinese people's ability to spend money.

The fair value of blue and white porcelain was less than five million US dollars, but it was raised to tens of millions!

The two auctioneers on the stage are now completely excited.

The leaders of the organizers backstage were also grinning from ear to ear.

Naturally, they would love nothing more than to have this kind of thing happen.

Rashid was a little surprised.

The man in white robe next to him used him as a mouthpiece to ask Lin Chu, "Do these blue and white flowers have any special meaning? Why are they so crazy?"
There have been auctions before, and blue and white porcelain has been sold, and of course there have been Chinese people, but there has never been a situation like this.

Lin Chu listened to his translation and smiled: "Tell your brothers, because, before, I was not there, but now, I am here."

"Now that I have come across this, I will take all nine pieces of the collection. I want to bring them back to my motherland, no matter how much it costs."

Rashid: ...

He took a deep breath, looked at Lin Chu with great emotion, turned around, and translated Lin Chu's words to the other men in white robes in a slightly complicated tone.

As they listened, they were all slightly stunned. One of them smiled, gave Lin Chu a thumbs up, whispered a few words in Rashid's ear, then stood up and left.

"He said that it would not be a waste of time. He respected your behavior, so he left early and wished you success."

"If there is a chance, I would like to make friends with you."

As he translated with a smile, Rashid raised an eyebrow and watched his brothers leave their seats and walk out of the venue.

"Okay."

"Party, keep having fun!"
