Chapter 518: Maruhan Zhuodemirin
Yang Jing's offer immediately made the audience silent, and then, the noisy sound seemed like a tsunami suddenly burst out in the entire banquet hall.
Everyone present, including those from the Mellon family, did not expect that Yang Jing would report such a horrifying number, and each of them showed an incredible expression on his face.
It is only 1987, and the US dollar is still quite valuable. Fifty million US dollars is enough to exceed the entire net worth of 99.9% of the world's people, and fifty million US dollars is enough to make most people in the world crazy.
But, this number that is enough to make most people in this world live in eight lifetimes was spit out in the mysterious Cole Smith's mouth, as if this person was not talking about fifty million dollars, but fifty hundred dollars.
Bloomberg pulled Yang Jing with a look of surprise and whispered: "Man, are you crazy? How could this broken box be worth 50 million? You don't bet like this when you are angry!"
Even though he said that, Bloomberg also knew that in such an occasion, it would be impossible to cancel the price once it was quoted. More than half of the top rich people in the United States gathered here. Once someone did this, the person's reputation in this circle would be completely ruined.
So, as long as you quote a price, you have to take out the money even if you lose everything. Unless you don’t want to gain a foothold in this circle.
But this circle is a circle that all wealthy people in the United States yearn for. As long as people who can enter this circle don’t have any problems, no one is willing to leave this circle.
Bloomberg knew that Cole Smith, who had just become the largest shareholder of his company, was rich, and he was very rich. But this was 50 million US dollars after all, and even if he had money, he could not be so miserable.
After a moment of stunned silence, a few people from the Mellon family showed a faint smile on their faces. Old Paul nodded slightly at Yang Jing. The meaning was very clear - our Mellon family remembered your love.
Everyone at the scene was a human spirit. After being shocked for a while, they immediately understood why Cole Smith quoted this price.
The situation just now was already very obvious. Harper Lawrence openly provoked the Mellon family on such occasions, and Alfred Lowell, a core banner figure in the Boston Consortium, said he was powerless.
Are you cheating? Everyone at the scene admitted that Harper Lawrence is a bastard who is indifferent to oil and salt, but only after listening to Alfred Lowell's words, Lowell only needs to express that Lawrence will never continue to offer.
But, Lowell, who had always been steady, actually acquiesced to Lawrence to continue making trouble like this.
Is the Boston Consortium ready to declare war on the Mellon family in full?
Although the Boston Consortium and the Mellon family have never been very good at dealing with each other, and the competition between the two has become more intense in recent years, if you do such a thing rashly on such an occasion, with Lowell's personality, it would be a bit too wrong.
Could it be for that Cole Smith? But it seems that they didn’t mess with your Boston consortium? Did you, Lowell, just now, smoke a cigar with someone? He turned against you so quickly?
But no matter how you analyze it, the current situation is that Cole Smith has completely brought the provocation from the Boston Consortium instead of the Mellon family.
If Cole Smith didn't offer the offer just now, the Mellon family's slap would definitely be the one that would have been taken by today. If it were ordinary people, under the Boston Consortium's so aggressive today, they would usually not stand up to take over the Mellon family.
But this Cole Smith did this, and directly raised the offer to 50 million US dollars, which was 30 million US dollars higher than the aggressive Lawrence!
The atmosphere at the scene was really weird. A group of people stopped talking and acted as a melon-eating crowd.
Yang Jing smiled slightly, shook his head at Bloomberg, and then looked at Harper Lawrence at the other end of the banquet hall.
Aren't you making trouble? Then come on, I'm quoting a price of 50 million now, and if you have the ability, you can follow me!
If you don't follow me, then get out honestly and save yourself embarrassment here!
Although Yang Jing didn't say a word, everyone could see the meaning in his eyes. Everyone knew that Cole Smith did this and immediately took everything himself. Just a quote, the competition between the Boston Consortium and the Mellon family was instantly transferred to himself.
The most important thing is that Cole Smith's offer directly pushed Lawrence into the corner.
Do you follow or not? If you don’t follow, then get out as soon as possible. Even the Boston Consortium will lose face here.
But if you follow, it will be 50 million US dollars, not 50,000 US dollars! Even if the Boston Consortium suddenly takes out 50 million US dollars in cash, it may not be so easy.
And everyone knows that, judging from the performance of the Boston Consortium today, as long as they follow the price, the Mellon family will definitely receive cash checks on the spot! The Mellon family has no reason to let the Boston Consortium go.
Sure enough, Yang Jing's 50 million made Lawrence's face pale. This guy's wealth is indeed quite rich, but his wealth is mostly real estate and stocks. If he was asked to take out 50 million at once, it would be almost impossible.
But Cole Smith just offered such a price, and now it was roasted on the fire and turned into Lawrence.
Others don’t know the wealth of Cole Smith, but who among the Boston Consortium can’t know the wealth of this person?
Not to mention anything else, the stocks of those twenty-seven companies controlled by KY Investment Fund are enough to top up the combined net worth of half of the people present. It is more money than this mysterious guy... Even Alfred Lowell couldn't help but shake his head.
But, they just offered a price of 50 million!
Follow! Or not?
The atmosphere in the entire banquet hall instantly entered a more strange atmosphere. Apart from the old Paul, who was alive, even Skeve's face couldn't help but show an anxious look on his face.
The situation is now very obvious. The Mellon family has been on a boat with Cole Smith for a short time. No matter how much Cole Smith quotes, as long as he can finally win the offer, the Mellon family must listen whether it is $100 million or $1 billion - the Mellon family does not charge Cole Smith's quotation, which is the lowest limit for the Mellon family. After all, they are now looking for face for your Mellon family, and both Paul and Skeve are very clear about this.
But the question is, Cole Smith actually fought against a behemoth called the Boston Consortium. Can he hold on?
Even if the Mellon family is standing on the same boat with Cole Smith, they cannot blatantly support Cole Smith now.
The Boston Consortium can shamelessly support Harper Lawrence, but today the Mellon family, as the host, cannot directly support Cole Smith. Everything depends on how Cole Smith deals with this state in front of him.
The white gloves on the stage shouted loudly: "Fifty million first time!"
His voice was so abrupt and so hoarse, but no one paid attention to this now. Now the guests in the entire banquet hall turned their attention to Harper Lawrence, who had just caused the trouble. These people wanted to see what should Harper Lawrence, who had always been known for his toughness and dissatisfaction in front of Cole Smith's response of 50 million.
Alfred Lowell, about seven or eight meters away from Harper Lawrence, was almost bitten by the back teeth, but now he can't do anything. Just when he spread his hands and shook his head to Old Paul, the matter had already risen to a serious height.
The Mellon family canceled the auction directly without taking advantage of the home court. Lowell naturally could not support Lawrence without shame. If he dared to do this, then what awaited him would be the anger of the entire Mellon family! Even if Lowell was the core banner figure of the Boston Consortium, he could not resist this anger.
The Boston Consortium is different from the Mellon family, which is a family with blood ties, while the Boston Consortium is just a consortium composed of interests. From any perspective, the Boston Consortium is not as united as the Mellon family.
"Fifty million second time!" No matter what, the white glove auctioneer was invited by the Mellon family. After receiving the secret signal from Timothy Mellon, the auctioneer gritted his teeth and said this.
As the little hammer in the auctioneer was lifted high and about to smash it down, the pale Harper Lawrence gritted his teeth and said, "Five thousand and one thousand!"
The auctioneer, who was holding up the small hammer and was about to smash it, almost flashed his waist...
The auctioneer glanced at Harper Lawrence with a resentful look on his face, then gritted his teeth and said, "50,010,000! The price this gentleman quoted is 50,010,000!"
A clear boo sounded in the hall.
Are you making trouble? Can a man be more happy? Even if you apply for 51 million, you are still like a man! What's the point of your return for 5010 million? Do you learn from that Cole Smith?
