Chapter 28 Bidding
After pausing for a while, He Zhanhui cleared his throat and continued, "Those merchants with objections or who have big opinions can now leave the venue and go outside to receive a deposit of 20,000 yuan based on their own identity.
If you have no other comments, please shut up and hold the next item of the meeting now:
Today, there are 27 merchants who paid a deposit of HK$2 million. They are qualified to participate in the package auction in the entire area. I would like to remind everyone that those who violate the auction regulations will not refund the deposit. Please hold the sign carefully.
The above is hosted by Mr. Hopet, a senior auctioneer at Carlsby Auction House. Welcome everyone!”
Although many businesses have great opinions, this is all over the world.
No one left the venue, including those businesses with the most intense emotions, which shows that everything is a routine.
Accompanied by a wave of not-warming applause, the auctioneer Mr. Hopet walked up to the auction table with a smile. He was a bald middle-aged British man with a distinctive British character, and could speak fluent Chinese.
"I feel very honored to be able to host this auction. Although the applause from my friends was not very warm, and the enthusiasm was left at the auction, which is exactly what we hope to see."
He Peter shrugged his shoulders regretfully and said jokingly: "Everyone here knows that the milk tea shop is a very profitable business, and investment will bring huge returns. It's a pity that there are too many monks and too little porridge, so I hope to take action decisively and not watch the opportunity slip away from my fingers. It's definitely a painful experience."
After a few words, the atmosphere in the venue gradually became solemn. Everyone realized that they were not comrades in the same trench around them, but direct competitors.
A simple opening remark would include the entire venue in his own rhythm. Senior auctioneer He Peter's ability to control the field can be seen, without any fireworks at all, as if he was natural.
Lu Hang sat aside with He Zhanhui quietly and whispered: "Your law school student is very capable. I hope he can squeeze more oil for us."
"Don't worry! Boss, He Bide is professional in this regard."
"It's expensive, I'll charge me 160,000 yuan for an auction."
"But earn more, believe me."
"Haha, I hope so."
At the auction table
Peter Ho knocked on the auction hammer in his hand and officially announced the start of the auction. The first item was Wong Tai Sin District.
The geographical location of Wong Tai Sin District is not as good as that of the top oil and water areas, such as the Central District, South District, and Yau Tsim Mong District, Kowloon, but it is much better than other remote suburbs.
The Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium is located in this area, with prosperous business, especially the number of residential areas, so consumption power cannot be underestimated.
Choosing such a first kill in the midstream area is a carefully planned plan. If you can get a warm response, it will help set off the atmosphere and further help set off the prices of prime locations.
Prime locations are not sold in packages by district, but are auctioned separately on each street flagship store, including several community stores, so as to maximize profits and repatriate as much money as possible for expansion in Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other places.
"The first target is the 20-year franchise in Wong Tai Sin District, with 8 flagship stores and 33 community stores planned, with a base price of HK$10 million, and each price increase is no less than HK$200,000. Are there any bids?"
“10 million.”
"Okay, there is a gentleman here who has offered 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Is there any more that the gentleman has paid?"
“10.5 million.”
“11 million.”
“12 million.”
He Peter saw that the bid was normal, and many big merchants seemed patient. After the price reached 12 million, he paused briefly. He sneered in his heart and said calmly:
"We know that the monthly sales of each flagship store in Huanya Company exceeded HK$3 million, which is a very amazing number. This is the 20-year operating rights of 41 stores. Don't give up this precious opportunity. Let's see if we have any bids?"
“12.5 million.”
“13 million.”
“14 million.”
This time someone suddenly increased the price by one million, and the venue officially fell into a brief silence. Those who were not strong enough had already retreated.
He Peter said calmly: "The first time of 14 million, I have to praise this gentleman for making a very wise choice, the second time of 14 million..."
“15 million.”
"Okay, very good. This friend of No. 12 offered 15 million. This was a very wise decision. We know that the milk tea shop franchise is like a hen that can lay golden eggs. You will definitely not find a better investment channel than him. The first time 15 million is..."
“18 million.”
"Wow... Let's see if this is friend No. 3. He quoted 18 million and whether there are other people who offer it. This friend No. 3 is the first to win. It seems that he is bound to win 18 million for the first time..."
"It's the second time of 18 million. It seems that I want to congratulate my friend on the 3rd in advance. Your decisive decision will obtain the 41 valuable milk tea shop franchise in Wong Tai Sin District, with 20 years of exclusiveness..."
No.3 is a fat middle-aged businessman who has conducted detailed analysis and research on the cost and operating profits of the milk tea shop. Today, he came with a determined attitude.
No one's money was blown by the strong wind. The 18 million Hong Kong dollars had already made him feel very difficult. Seeing He Peter talking loudly, No. 3 wanted to run on the stage and strangle him to death.
Pujie, quickly knock down the damn hammer.
“20 million.”
At this time, another higher bid immediately made No. 3's heart fall into the abyss, and the sweat on his forehead involuntarily emerge.
The bidder was a middle-aged woman wearing glasses, and the brand was No. 21, and she could tell she was a shrewd and capable workplace elite.
“21 million.”
“24 million.”
No. 21 decisively added another three million. At this time, No. 3's round face was sweating like a slurry. He was a very smart businessman and was very optimistic about the profit prospects of the milk tea shop.
I know that I can borrow money at any time when I go to the bank with the Boba Milk Tea franchise. It can also attract small and medium-sized investors to participate and share the heavy pressure on my shoulders.
The premise of all this is... to win the Wong Tai Sin District franchise.
In terms of economic strength, the No. 3 fat businessman cannot compare with other rich people who are firmly sitting in Diaoyutai, and he will definitely not be able to compete for more profitable things.
The value of remote suburbs and remote townships is much inferior. Urban suburbs such as Wong Tai Sin and Kowloon Tong have become the first choice targets for No. 3 fat businessmen.
“26 million.”
“30 million.”
The middle-aged lady of No. 21 added four million very sharply, and then completely cut off the thoughts of the fat businessman No. 3. He sat in a chair like a dog breaking his spine.
"The first time in 30 million is a very wise decision. I believe Ms. No. 21 will never regret it."
"For the second time of 30 million, it seems that the 41 milk tea shops in Wong Tai Sin District will welcome their owners. Let us congratulate her in advance and give her warm applause."
"Thirty million third time... This will be a very wonderful day for Ms. No. 21. Let us continue to give warm applause to No. 21, 30 million third time..."
He Peter calmly held the auction hammer and lifted it up high, but didn't knock it down, and kept saying tempting words in his mouth.
Every word that was spit out made No. 21 frightened.
Peter He looked full of admiration, and the face of the No. 21 woman was twitching, her hands clenched her fists tightly, and her vest was already sweating.
No one is not nervous at this critical moment. After all, no one’s money is not blown by the strong wind.
“32 million.”
"Wow...what did I hear? Forgot the 21st just now. It was already a thing of the past. The generous friend No. 3 revealed another 32 million. At this moment, I was so excited that I couldn't express my feelings. I need to cheer for your wisdom and wisdom. The first time 32 million..."
At this moment, Ms. No. 21, who had just looked smart and capable, had a pale face and her lips were trembling and could not speak.
"32 million second time..."
“32 million third time…”
"Ba...I announce that Wong Tai Sin went to 41 stores for 20 years and won the franchise rights of No. 3 for 32 million. Don't be stingy with your applause and cheer for this unique investment!"
Peter Ho on the stage was fully exaggerating the atmosphere. The Wong Tai Sin District had a good start and was the first to ignite the war. This was a very good start.
Luhang was very satisfied with Peter He's performance and raised the price by millions. As expected, it was worth the money, and there was a reason why it was expensive.
"Brother Zhan Hui, fortunately, Peter is on our side. He was able to squeeze out the last copper plate of these merchants sitting there. As expected, he was born as an auctioneer."
“Boss, Peter Ho is the best psychology at Cambridge Law School.”
"Hahaha...it seems that knowledge is money. You must live until you are old. There are many highlights in the ghost guy!"
He Zhanhui looked at his young boss, touched his nose and did not continue to answer:
Are you really kind to behave when you get a cheaper person like this?
The fat businessman No. 3 could no longer hear anything at this moment. He only felt a buzzing sound in his ears. He just added another two million, and the huge sum was as heavy as a mountain.
There is definitely not so much cash in hand, how much difference is?
It’s about 250 million!
The fat businessman is now thinking about where to borrow money, loans, and loans...
Suddenly, the fat businessman had an idea and had:
More than 20 years ago, when my wife first got married, her parents' family dowed two shops in Causeway Bay. Now they have two or three million yuan in rent a year.
I have been doing business several times, but thanks to this stable rent support, I can survive the most difficult moments.
If these two shops can be sold or mortgaged, it will not only solve the urgent financial problem, but also invest in one more shop in the district. This is absolutely no problem.
My wife is a person with weak ears. If she doesn't agree, she will kneel down to her, cry and pester her. She really doesn't move her children to join her. No matter what method is used, she must get the deed.
Anyway, it is used on the right path. At worst, it can only immigrate after making money and go abroad to live a fairy-like life.
Chapter completed!
