Chapter 403 Auction (3)
Unlike the previous three auctions, the room fell into a strange state of silence after the announcement began, and only the sound of pressing the camera shutter was heard.
People's eyes were all the same on the Japanese and Ye Dongqing.
Speaking of Japan, in the 1980s and 1990s, Japan frantically purchased various real estate projects in the United States, including the most famous Pebble Beach golf course in California, the Empire State Building in New York, etc., and there were even voices that if you sell a house in Tokyo, you can buy the entire United States.
Needless to say, Japan's economy is still weak until now, and it is no longer the false prosperity of the past.
Those things remain in the minds of some people. Take Mayor Bloomberg for example. The old man is eager to come to New York to invest in the more Japanese companies, the better. It is best to bring all the money from Japan. However, on the other hand, he does not want the people of this country to be glorious under his nose. In comparison, Ye Dongqing is his own person. Although he has a similar skin color to them, he is a local resident born in New York since he was a child.
It is no longer just a piece of land, but more like a kind of fighting spirit. Since Ye Dongqing said in public that he wanted to target these people, the people watching the fun have been thrilled, and it is rare to spend money on people. What's more, the one who has a conflict with Ye Dongqing is the kind of Fortune 500 companies in the world that have a place in the entire world's financial circle.
It was quiet for more than a minute.
A Japanese executive finally couldn't hold back and raised the sign and added two million US dollars to the base price, with a quote of one.402 million US dollars.
This land is larger than those before, and you can see the Hudson River on one side. It is quite good, right next to the Cobra Building, so the starting price is relatively high.
Some time ago, the fig leaf of subprime housing loans was torn off by Ye Dongqing, and many small and medium-sized urban real estate projects were affected. The real estate in New York, especially on Manhattan Island, has supported the world's wealthy people. The big fluctuations have not been made, but the upward momentum has been curbed.
If this land is taken down, it can be connected with the previous land to create a commercial project. Whether it is developed into a residential or a gymnasium, it will not be much worse.
Ye Dongqing thought deeply and had not yet expanded to the point where she ignored the consequences for a little bit of emotion. At this moment, she raised the sign in her hand and directly raised the quotation by 50 million US dollars based on the quotation. The land price was approaching the previous auction.
Most people at the scene couldn't afford so much money, and even Richard, who was sitting next to him, was very excited. Although he knew how rich Ye Dongqing was, a string of numbers was quite different from the scene of real spending money.
The price has already started, and before the psychological bottom line has been broken, the Japanese man raised the bid again and added 10 million US dollars. Ye Dongqing followed up with another 10 million US dollars. So far, the auction price has risen to 1.472 billion US dollars. After another round of bidding, the price has been raised to 1.5 billion US dollars.
Suddenly, Ye Dongqing smiled at the Japanese man and shouted again when he raised the sign: "Add 30 million US dollars!"
When the other party saw the smile on his face, his heart skipped a beat. Combined with the words he had heard before, he thought he was constantly digging holes to try to fall in, and finally he pinched his nose and paid a lot of money.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible. Ye Dongqing's expression when she smiled at him was also understood as a provocation that tried to anger herself. She couldn't help but retreat. After all, it was just an investment, and the building was not a must.
Thinking of these things in my mind, my vision lost its focus and was already in a daze.
Seeing that no one raised the price, the host asked, "Who is willing to pay a higher price for 1.53 billion US dollars? Who else wants it?"
The city hall staff who played the auctioneer did not speak professionally and could not mobilize people's enthusiasm. Perhaps because they felt that the price was a little lower, they actually asked the Japanese people stupidly, "Guests from the East, don't you hold up your signs?"
A burst of laughter suddenly rang out.
The senior executive of Mitsubishi UFAN Financial Group subconsciously thought that it was the auctioneer who was mocking him for not having strength, and his chest was so angry that he was so angry that his chest was fluctuating violently.
Before he could speak, the Ruilian Group CEO, which felt that the price was still low, raised a sign and added 5 million US dollars to Ye Dongqing's quotation. Ruilian Group is quite large in scale and owns real estate projects in many countries. Most of the time, I think Hudson Square will have development prospects in the future.
This time Ye Dongqing didn't say anything. The original land was enough for him. Since a third party participated, there was no need to continue to increase the price. It would be better to invest the funds in other projects with higher returns.
Mitsubishi UFL people tried to quote again, pushing the price to $1.63 billion, with the unit price exceeding the previous three pieces of land, and the profit margin is being continuously compressed.
Considering the pressure of capital chain and the recent sluggish real estate transactions, the CEO of Ruilian Group had no choice but to give up. Just when Mitsubishi UF executives breathed a sigh of relief and turned their attention to Ye Dongqing, he picked up the auction plate again, pushing the land price up by 20 million US dollars again.
Calculate the price, it is much more expensive than the unit price of the land he used to build the Cobra Building.
More than one billion US dollars are not a small number anywhere. A piece of land can bring billions of dollars in revenue to the city hall. Mayor Bloomberg is already so happy that he can use this money to do many things, such as renovating infrastructure and increasing investment in social welfare.
I felt more and more that Ye Dongqing was pushing his company into a pit. I was so angry that the Japanese executive left the scene. Before leaving, I said something to my colleagues in Japanese. Some translators said they were fighting internally and accused the designer of Tiancongyun Building of a mess and caused someone they shouldn't have messed up.
The status is not bad, and I still want the face. When I left the stage, I received a lot of booing and middle fingers, probably because I blamed them for not being able to do anything and not striving until the end.
Ye Dongqing looked indifferent and asked the Ruilian Group people with a smile, saying, "No one is competing with me, so how about transferring it to you with my offer? I don't like to do real estate. You can definitely make money, but the return period is too long. You should know how hot it will be when the Cobra Building is built. Rich people like to live near the landmarks, and there are high-end shopping malls to play under the Cobra Building."
This is really... the auctioneer actually talked about resale before he could finish his announcing.
Ruilian Group's CEO is very decisive. After only a few seconds of thinking, she immediately reached out and smiled and shook hands with Ye Dongqing: "Our capital chain is already a little tight. How about trying to cooperate once? You have funds, we have experience in operation and sales. If you all make money together, I can eat about 70% of it..."
