The auction ended, and Gu Ao was about to leave.

Miss He, who was sitting next to him, also invited: "Gu Sheng, I heard that you have good business relationships with Princess Caroline and Prince Abel of Monaco?"

Gu Ao asked with a smile: "Do you know too?"

Miss He nodded slightly: "Prince of Monaco operates the gambling industry and has always been a model of the industry's predecessors. When I was studying, I occasionally went to France to visit and learned scriptures. I was taken to travel by my father and had some friendship with His Highness Caroline. His Highness Caroline also mentioned you to me."

When it comes to the gambling industry, although later Au County and Las Vegas were more famous in East Asia than Monaco, when it comes to the qualifications, Monaco is definitely older.

After Prince Rainier ascended the throne in 1949, he started to work on the gambling industry.

At that time, Las Vegas had only a small gambling industry, which could only radiate to the southwestern United States, including California. By the late 1950s, Las Vegas had a world-class blockage.

As for Ao County, although the gambling industry has always had, it is not world-class influence. He Gambling King only obtained the franchise rights of the lottery industry and gambling horse coupons after World War II, and then accumulated it for more than ten years by selling lottery tickets and gambling horse coupons.

It was not until 1960 that King He Gambled officially obtained the license to open a traffic jam, and he joined forces with Mr. Huo from Xiangjiang and other bigwigs, and could not take it alone. After obtaining the license, he only started a small market to save money. It was not until 13 years later, in 1973 that the Lisboa World was well-known to people in later generations.

In other words, Lisboa has been born only 10 years ago.

Naturally, this qualification cannot be compared with the Monacos. It is normal for King He and even Miss He to go to France to learn from the scriptures. However, they are all very smart and do not copy European experience. They know that they have a considerable advantage in East Asia, so they have improved the method of "free tickets and only pay attention to pumping".

However, the world's wealth center was no longer in the European continent, so the reputation of the European system gradually became less visible, and the popularity of Aus and Vegas came from behind.

After clarifying the situation, Gu Ao calmly promised: "It turns out that Miss He is also a friend of His Highness Caroline. If I have time next year, I will definitely visit Au County. His Highness Caroline and Prince Albert have always had some business cooperation ideas. Unfortunately, I have been studying in the United States, and the situation is not good, so I have no time to carry out."

Miss He: "Then I'll wait for the good news."

After chatting about this, it took a few minutes to wait. Two-thirds of the rich people in the venue had dispersed, and even Han Ting left alone.

Gu Ao went straight to the underground garage, returned to the hotel under the escort of the bodyguards, and then prepared the delivery of funds and real estate, as well as the deposit of the subject matter of the movable property transaction—

Large auctions are not directly checked on site. You will pay the deposit first and enter the market. After the auction, you will be given two weeks to raise funds and remittance.

So even if you can't actually get the money after calling a super high price and then go back on your word, it doesn't matter, it won't be enforced. It's just that the margin will be deducted and it will also affect the bidder's credit. Therefore, few people regret it at this type of auction.

However, in later auctions that bid for land, they often cost billions or tens of billions of dollars, and bid for commercial purposes. It has become a common commercial tactic to deliberately give up the deposit and break the contract and delay the pace.

Because even if you pay a deposit of 100 million or 200 million, it will allow the key land king to lose the bid. The land owner will organize an auction again, which may delay for several months, create new space and expectations for the land king's speculation, and win the capital chain turnover buffer.

Gu Ao is now very well-funded, so he will only rush to deliver the transaction as soon as possible and complete the procedures.

In the afternoon of the same day, when he returned to the hotel, his assistant took all the valid documents and power of attorney and paid all the more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars involved in all the items today.

It really makes everyone at auction houses and HSBC stunned by this efficiency.

Because others, including the charter king, Sir Shao and Boss Zheng, have to make full use of the two-week payment period.

It took at least more than a week to make money.

It’s not that they are stingy, but that they are all used to handing over to the financial department for processing. The specific handling personnel of the financial department will make good use of the accounting period rules and save more interest.

The interest rate was high in the 1980s, and 100 million yuan could make more than 100 million yuan a year, and hundreds of thousands a week.

Faced with the kind reminder from the auction house staff, Gu Ao's assistant just said: "Our boss is busy and I'm going to go back to the United States soon. I can't wait in Xiangjiang."

This shows that people stayed in Xiangjiang for two more nights, which cost more than hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

The staff immediately became speechless, leaving only Mali to speed up the procedures.

The industry rules that "usually completed within 7 working days" are not useful in front of Gu Ao.

Afterwards, Gu Ao asked someone to inquire about the balance of HSBC's accounts, and it seemed that the situation was not very optimistic about the Brittans.

HSBC had already cut its losses in a timely manner. Basically, as soon as the depreciation wave in New Zealand broke out, it freezes Kong Shangzhong's collateral to execute.

Originally, they thought that if they could take away all the collateral, the bank's bad debt could be controlled to within 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

As a result, because Gu Ao secretly used his mysterious and powerful reputation to hit several other top auction participants, everyone has reserved some of the bidding for several important items and did not dare to let go of their hands.

The luxury mansion that Gu Ao alone won the bank a loss of 50 million to 100 million.

In the end, the total transaction price of all lots was at least 300 million yuan.

HSBC's bad debts reached HK$500 million.

...

With such rapid efficiency, the next morning, the auction house and HSBC informed Gu Ao that he could view the house and handle the procedures on the same day.

The night before, Gu Ao did not return to his old house in Yau Ma Tei, as usual, and he still lived in the presidential suite of a top hotel in Central. After receiving the notice, he packed up and prepared to go out to see the house.

Oh, in order to be worthy of the status of the house, he specially bought two new cars in person yesterday, and now he has to buy them, so today you can drive a new car when you look at the house.

After all, the original Mercedes-Benz SEL1000 seems to be in line with his "1 billion US dollars club" value, so I feel embarrassed to park in the garage of Baijiadao's mansion.

Originally, the small amount of money he had bought a car was not worthy of spending it himself.

However, considering that there are too many British brands in places like Xiangjiang. Gu Ao wants to draw a clear line with the British, and refuses to cheat the enemy's money and buy the enemy's luxury goods.

After killing the options of Rolls-Royce and Bentley, Gu Ao had to surrender his prestige and spend some time himself to do his homework for a few million in change.

What made Gu Ao the most unhappy in the 1980s was that the Maybach brand did not exist - after all, later generations also liked to sit on Maybach, so it has to be said that Gu Ao's taste is quite similar to that of his younger brother. However, Maybach is actually a high-end sub-brand that stopped production shortly after World War II and was resurrected by Mercedes-Benz until the beginning of the 21st century.

Porsche is second to the next, but after asking, I found out that today's Porsche only makes two-door sports cars and not four-door large sedans. (Porsche's premium sedan Panamera also only has one in the early 21st century)

Gu Ao had to pinch his nose and buy a custom Rinspeed of the 911 Series - this is the top-notch Rinspeed that Porsche just launched in 1983 for the 911 Series. It was modified from its Swiss factory, with about 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

As Porsche's best customized car at present, this car is enough for Gu Ao to take women out for fun in private, and business travel seems unsanctified, so he had to buy a second one.

In the end, Gu Ao, who was desperate, had to choose Cadillac with a nose and a relatively good business customization sub-brand in this era when German luxury cars were generally not generous enough and the aesthetics of the upper class was conservative. Cadillac in the 1980s also had a relatively good business customization sub-brand Braham - it can be roughly imagined as later generations of Rolls-Royce to BMW and Maybach to Mercedes-Benz.

Although the top-end version in circulation is only $300,000, people can provide a lot of customizations, which can definitely reach the level of "the same popular brand can also be matched with Phaeton". Moreover, the shape is square-headed, brain-like and rounded elegant domineering. Li Gen, Lao Buddy, sits on it.

A Porsche Rinspeed and a Cadillac Braham, both commercial and sports can be done.

Thanks to the fact that Xiangjiang is a fashion capital, it has never lacked any luxury goods, so it can bring all such non-distant things into stock.

...

Gu Ao sat in Braham, driven by the bodyguard, and headed straight to the top of Baijiadao Mountain.

At the gate of the wall of the Confucius Mansion, HSBC staff were guarding there. When they saw Gu Ao, they confirmed their identity and immediately let them go.

The person in charge of HSBC said a little apologetically: "I'm very sorry for Gu Sheng, it may have disturbed your Yaxing. Today, there are people from the Kong family moving things. When they accepted this mortgage, they found that it might be insolvent, we have notified the people from the Kong family to move out in advance.

However, they were not asked to move all the collections immediately. We did not expect the auction and delivery to be so fast. We hope you will give them another day to move smuggled artworks, which are not standardized, and are not included in the collateral."

Gu Ao nodded, not caring about it.

In fact, he believed that Kong Shangzhong must have hoped to pack and mortgage the decorations in the house. But these things are not easy to value, so the bank will definitely refuse to accept them.

He just asked the HSBC staff: "Is Boss Kong here? Or is it just that his family is here to get things?"

The HSBC staff responded respectfully: "It's just one of his sons and nephews, who brought his servants to sort it out. He himself didn't come."

It seems that I can't figure it out, can't stand this humiliation, and I don't want to show up anymore.

This time when Gu Ao returned to Xiangjiang, although he had bought the bottom and harvested most of the property of the Confucius traitor, he had no chance to humiliate the other party in person, which was still a bit of a flaw.

It would be great if the other party could just hold on to the end like the fantasy boss.

"Then do you know what he plans to go?" Gu Ao asked in anger.

The other party could not answer this question, but the HSBC head looked around and led Gu Ao, while whispering: "I heard that I want to leave Xiangjiang and become a rancher in New Zealand, stay away from the world. Because he asked us not to sell the ranch he mortgaged, and leave a piece. After he sold some of his private artworks through other channels, he would pick a frozen ranch to redeem it."

Gu Ao couldn't help but smile.

It seems that people can't avoid sunk costs. Kong Shangzhong probably doesn't believe in the evil "New Zealand animal husbandry assets are worthless". He wants to hold this fantasy until he dies.

It is very difficult to make a person admit that he had been Sabi for most of his life before, and it is even more difficult than killing him.

Just keep this traitor alive, so that he can go to New Zealand to herd cattle with the dream of Xianglin Sao donating the threshold, and wait until he reaches the value and dies.
