Chapter five hundred and fourteen focus topics
"Xinxin, we won, we won." The excited Han Lu turned around and hugged Bai Xin, who was sitting there with a sad expression, and shouted, but she soon found that Bai Xin was not very interested, so she asked curiously, "Xinxin, what's wrong with you? We won, why do you seem unhappy?"
"Sister Lulu, we lost. The base price of Warwick Group is 5 billion US dollars, not 50 billion." Bai Xin cheered up and squeezed out a smile at Hanlu, saying calmly.
"What? 5...5 billion, not 50 billion?"
The smile on Han Ru's face suddenly stopped. He looked at Zhao Dongsheng, who was the first to get up and smile on the TV screen, who was shaking hands with Cole sitting there, and looked at Bai Xin with a shock. She knew that Bai Xin had studied French in France and should not lie to her, but if Warwick Group fails, why can the big boss of Warwick Group still laugh?
"Yes." Bai Xin nodded affirmatively, and smiled and comforted Han Lu, "This price is too low, it's a bit abnormal. Maybe Warwick Group has any other ideas."
"How could this happen!" Han Lu felt like she was poured with cold water on her head. Her excitement cooled down in an instant, and she looked at the TV screen in astonishment. No matter what, she would never have expected that Zhao Dongsheng would pay such a low price.
"I heard it right, Warwick Group's base price is 5 billion US dollars!" At this time, a surprise voice from a anchor on Hedong Provincial TV Station came out of the TV.
"That's right, it's 5 billion US dollars. I think it's impossible to be 50 billion US dollars in French capital. That amount is too incredible." Then, the voice of a financial expert who knows French rang out.
"However, 5 billion US dollars was indeed beyond our expectations." The anchor then teased and said, his tone was full of bizarre flavor. Who would have thought that the dignified Warwick Group would only pay 5 billion US dollars.
After hearing the voices of the anchor and the financial expert on TV, the crew, who were originally excited, gradually calmed down and looked at each other. No one expected that such a change would happen.
Not only Bai Xin's crew, but also all the viewers who watched the broadcast in front of the TV, were in an uproar. No one could have thought that Zhao Dongsheng would actually make such a big joke for them.
At the same time, the bidding venue was held.
"Congratulations, you won this victory." When the beautiful female employee announced the Warwick Group's benchmark, while the people in the venue had not yet reacted, Zhao Dong rose up and walked towards Cole, smiling and congratulated him.
"Thank you." Cole knew French. After learning that Zhao Dongsheng had offered only $5 billion, he thought he had heard it wrong. He was looking at the big screen ahead. When Zhao Dongsheng came over, he had not come back to his senses. Seeing this, he got up from the chair and shook hands with Zhao Dongsheng.
Afterwards, Zhao Dongsheng returned to his seat in shocked eyes and sat there calmly, waiting for the host to announce Cole's victory.
The venue was buzzing and people whispered and whispered, and the $5 billion was shocked to them more than $50 billion.
"It's indeed his trap!" Hebian Zhiyong looked at Zhao Dongsheng, who was sitting there quietly with a complicated expression. He felt a little scared for no reason. If Yamashita Sakurako had not stopped him in time, then the River Consortium now had received the French Northern Communications Company.
Although Zhiyong by the river did not know what Zhao Dongsheng had plans, judging from the current situation, Cole had fallen into the trap designed by Zhao Dongsheng, and Zhao Dongsheng would probably launch a counterattack later.
"Now I announce that Augustus Industrial has won this bid. Let us welcome General Manager Cole to the stage to sign an overall acquisition agreement with the chairman of France's Northern Communications Company." Just as people at the scene were talking, the host looked at the bidding companies appearing on the big screen in front of him, pointed at Cole, who was sitting in the audience with expressionless face, and announced loudly.
Zhao Dongsheng stood up first and applauded at Cole with a smile. Seeing this, the others also stood up and applauded, and the applause soon rang over the venue.
At this time, Cole realized that he seemed to be Zhao Dongsheng's Taoist, otherwise Zhao Dongsheng would not have paid only $5 billion, but he really didn't understand what Zhao Dongsheng was trying to make. Seeing that everyone at the scene was applauding at him, he stood up, smiled and waved to the people, and walked towards the rostrum.
Although Cole was laughing, Zhao Dongsheng's eyes seemed to be uglier than crying, and the feeling of being plotted against was definitely not good.
According to the process, after Cole came to power, under the witness of his lawyer, signed an agreement to acquire all shares of Northern Communications Company with the chairman of the board of directors of the French Northern Communications Company, and officially became the new director of Northern Communications Company.
The next room was accompanied by a bank transfer procedure. The bank staff transferred the US$25.9 billion transferred by the Augustus family to the account designated by the Northern Communications Board of Directors, and then the board of directors would transfer money to shareholders according to the shares they held.
After the signing of the contract, the chairman of Northern Communications Company held his own documents in his hand, shook hands with Cole happily, and then faced the audience and asked the photographer to take pictures for them. This time, the bid price of the Augustus family was far beyond his imagination. Not only did he get rid of the mess in his hand, but he also made a big profit from it without fail.
Seeing this, the people in the audience applauded again and congratulated the two for their successful signing. Cole smiled mechanically on his face, looked at Zhao Dongsheng below without any intention, and then politely greeted the chairman of Northern Communications Company.
"Boss, General Manager Cole seems very unhappy." Han Susu noticed that Carl looked at Zhao Dongsheng, so he clapped and leaned closer to Zhao Dongsheng and said in a low voice.
"If you spent 15 billion dollars in vain to acquire a company with a market value of 10 billion US dollars, you might be even more angry than him." Zhao Dongsheng smiled slightly and replied softly.
When Han Susu heard this, she held back her smile and looked at Cole on the rostrum. Zhao Dongsheng's plan had completed the most important step, successfully causing Cole to take the bait and spend a huge amount of money to acquire the French Northern Communications Company. Then Zhao Dongsheng will launch a fierce attack and give Cole a more painful blow.
"Chairman Zhao, why did you bid $5 billion? Is there any secret here?"
"Why is the bottom of the mark wrong? How could it be only $5 billion?"
"Can you talk about your reasons for doing this?"
...
After the bidding meeting, Zhao Dongsheng led Han Susu and others out of the Northern Communications Company building. As soon as he left the first floor lobby, he was surrounded by reporters guarding outside and asked questions in a verbal manner.
The reporters who came to interview already knew that Warwick Group had an extremely low-priced event at the bidding meeting, which immediately caused a sensation among the reporters and became the focus.
Zhao Dongsheng's bodyguards and the security personnel at the scene quickly formed a wall of people to block the reporters and prevent them from approaching Zhao Dongsheng.
"At 3:00 pm, I will hold a press conference at the Warwick Group Office in France to explain this matter to the outside world. Everyone is welcome to come and participate at that time."
Facing the surging reporters, Zhao Dongsheng announced something with a smile, and then surrounded by bodyguards, he went off the car parked on the side of the road, leaving a huge suspense for various media.
"Boss, it seems that it has successfully aroused the appetite of those media." While driving, Han Susu said to Zhao Dongsheng with a smile. Compared with the Augustus family's successful acquisition of the French Northern Communications Company, the reporters just now were obviously more interested in the ultra-low price Zhao Dongsheng offered.
"They brewed this glass of bitter wine by themselves, and it's time for them to drink it now." Zhao Dongsheng leaned on the seat, hugged his chest with both hands, closed his eyes and rested, thinking about the afternoon press conference.
Liu Ye, who was sitting in the passenger seat in front, frowned slightly when he heard this, then stretched out and looked ahead expressionlessly. It seemed that Zhao Dongsheng had designed the trap very early and waited for Cole to drill in.
"Why, I'm going to treat everyone to dinner tonight?" At this moment, Zhao Dongsheng's cell phone rang. He took it out and took it, answered the phone with a smile. Bai Xin was called.
"I'm not the only one who invited me to dinner. Many people thought that Warwick Group wanted to win, but they didn't expect that their bid would be so low, which really gave us a surprise. I don't know what the boss of Warwick Group thought. It was so annoying. I thought they could defeat those two foreign companies. It was really disappointing."
Bai Xin's tone sounded a little depressed, she complained to Zhao Dongsheng, and then said with a smile, "However, they lost just right. Taking this opportunity, after filming the evening drama, the person we lost paid to invite everyone to a buffet, just treat it as a party."
"It's lost in the east and the harvest is the sun. Maybe Warwick Group has any other ideas for doing this." Zhao Dongsheng explained with a smile when he heard the words, and then changed the topic, "Have fun at night, don't be too late, you still have a show to shoot tomorrow."
"Don't worry, Sister Fang is watching me very tightly now, and she will definitely not let me play too late to affect tomorrow's work." Bai Xin giggled and said to Zhao Dongsheng.
Zhao Dongsheng laughed when he heard this. It was him who asked Fang Rong to take care of Bai Xin normally to avoid any accidents. Fang Rong faithfully performed her duties and talked with Bai Xin in an endless manner. She also set a strict schedule for Bai Xin to ensure Bai Xin's health to the greatest extent.
Since she learned about Zhao Dongsheng's identity, those acting affairs have retreated in Fang Rong's eyes. The most important thing is Bai Xin's health. She wants to hand over a healthy Bai Xin to Zhao Dongsheng and deliberately reduce social engagements. The future chairman's wife of the dignified Warwick Group is indeed not suitable for appearing in those social occasions.
When Zhao Dongsheng was talking to Bai Xin, Han Susu looked out the window. She naturally knew who was calling. Liu Ye's eyes flashed with a look of suspicion. She couldn't help but look at Zhao Dongsheng from the rearview mirror. She felt that the person on the phone with Zhao Dongsheng was a woman.
After calling Zhao Dongsheng, Bai Xin couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She was very satisfied with her performance just now and did not reveal any flaws on the phone. In this case, Zhao Dongsheng would not know that she already knew his identity.
In fact, when Bai Xin called Zhao Dongsheng again, she felt very conflicted. She was worried that she could not control her emotions and made Zhao Dong feel suspicious. However, according to her personality, she would definitely call Zhao Dongsheng after the bidding result came out, so she called Zhao Dongsheng.
But finally, she successfully concealed Zhao Dongsheng. Although she was not sure why Zhao Dongsheng wanted to conceal his identity, since Zhao Dongsheng was not clear, Bai Xin had to put this matter deep in her heart first.
