Chapter 931 Why is the Azabi consortium looking at me(1/2)
Chapter 931 Azabi Consortium, why do you want to see me?
After saying that, Zhang Xiao glanced at Xiao Lishan and continued: "As the saying goes, people who are not from my race will have different hearts. Even if you want to be Suo Li's loyal minister, their senior officials will never trust you."
Hearing this, Xiao Lishan's face instantly turned ugly and said, "This is none of your business."
After saying that, he left directly and sat on the corner of the first row.
Ma Laodaodao: "This Xiao Lishan is ambitious and capable, but he lacks a trace of humanity."
Zhang Xiaodao: "Growing up in an island country, I have been influenced by the culture of the island country for a long time, which has led to a great prejudice against my own motherland. Such people would have been outright traitors in the past."
"What I hate the most is traitors."
Yang Mi hit him and said, "Don't say bad words."
Zhang Xiao shrank his neck and responded with a smile: "I know."
When Boss Ma and Ma Teng saw this scene, they couldn't help laughing.
Unexpectedly, the world's most powerful super rich man is still a strict wife.
At ten o'clock, the auction officially begins.
The first few auction items were all antique calligraphy and paintings. Zhang Xiao was not interested in these things. It was not until a box of top-quality red wine appeared that Zhang Xiao took action.
"1.2 million."
The low price of red wine was one million, but Zhang Xiao directly increased the price by two hundred thousand.
After seeing Zhang Xiao raising the sign, everyone at the scene became quiet, and no one dared to compete with him.
The auctioneer yelled for a long time, and finally had no choice but to give up the hammer.
The auction house originally valued the box of red wine at 1.5 million. Unexpectedly, after Zhang Xiao called out the bid, it was sold for 1.2 million.
The next five lots were all of top quality, including a bottle of dry red that was more than 60 years old and four boxes of vintage top-grade white wine.
Zhang Xiao came to the auction house mainly for these red wines, so he took pictures of them all.
And the price he offered was only 20% more than the reserve price.
Seeing that no one was competing with him, Zhang Xiao felt a little embarrassed. He stood up and hugged everyone, saying: "Thank you all for letting me, an alcoholic, these drinks. To be honest, you made me a little embarrassed."
."
"Well, if you all have time, I will host you at noon today and treat you to dinner to show my gratitude."
"good!"
"light and spacious!"
Zhang Xiao's words gave everyone enough face, and made those who originally complained a lot feel much better.
Ma Laodaodao: "Mr. Zhang, do you want to treat us with the top-notch wine you just photographed?"
"Dreaming." Zhang Xiao said quickly: "I will take out at most a box of top-quality Maotai and ask everyone to have a taste. As for red wine, I don't even have a bottle."
Boss Ma asked curiously: "Why?"
Zhang Xiao said: "Because the leader of my family likes to drink red wine, I don't want to kneel down at the keyboard."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
There was a burst of laughter at the auction.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it’s time to arrive at the final auction item: Soli Cinema.
All the big guys in the front row sat up straight, and the air in the entire venue seemed to become solemn.
The auctioneer said: "Everyone knows that China has become the new world entertainment center. Tens of thousands of film and television productions are produced every year, and the number of movie fans who like to watch movies exceeds 500 million."
"In the so-called film industry, cinema chains are king. The Ministry of Culture has decided that no new cinema chains will be approved in the next five years. After five years, it will depend on the development of domestic films."
"Therefore, owning a theater chain is undoubtedly equivalent to owning a cornucopia."
"According to statistics, China has thirty cinema chains of various sizes, among which the number of screens of Suo Li Cinema is second only to Sunny Cinema, ranking second."
"The last lot in our auction house today is China's Suoli Cinema Line."
"The base price is 20 billion soft sister coins, and each increase must not be less than 100 million. Now the bidding officially begins."
As soon as the words fell, many big guys at the scene began to bid.
"Twenty-one billion."
"Twenty-three billion."
"Two hundred and fifty-eight billion."
"Twenty-six billion."
"Two hundred and seventy-three billion."
“···”
In just one minute, the price of Suoli Cinema has exceeded 38 billion.
When Zhang Xiao saw this situation, he was a little surprised and said: "There are really many rich people in China!"
Yang Mi smiled and said, "You just know!"
Ma Laodao: "According to the exchange rate, 38 billion soft sister coins are only 5.5 billion U.S. dollars. Compared with your assets of 2 trillion U.S. dollars, it is really nothing."
Zhang Xiao said: "I thought you were praising me."
Ma Laodaodao: "No, I'm just a little envious and jealous."
Zhang Xiao couldn't help but playfully said: "Boss of Mr. Ma, aren't you going to bid?"
"It's still early." Ma Laodaodao: "Let's wait until the price exceeds 50 billion."
"Fifty billion?" Zhang Xiao said with some surprise: "Can you make back such a high price?"
Boss Ma pointed at Yang Mi and said, "Just ask Mr. Yang how much Qingtian Cinema earns in a year."
Zhang Xiao looked back at Yang Mi and asked softly: "Is the theater chain very profitable now?"
Yang Mi nodded and said: "The profit in Suoli Cinema's financial statement last year was 5.8 billion, and our profit in Sunny Day was 7.2 billion, all after tax."
Zhang Xiao couldn't help but his eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "I really didn't expect that Chinese movies have already reached this level. It's amazing."
While they were chatting, the bidding did not stop. Soon, the price of Suoli Cinema had reached 50 billion.
Ma Teng took the lead in raising his sign and directly increased it by five billion, shouting: "Fifty-five billion."
Boss Ma shouted without hesitation: "Fifty-six billion."
After shouting, he turned to Ma Teng and said, "I'm sorry, our film and television company is determined to win the Suoli Cinemas."
Ma Teng smiled and said: "Both each other!"
He was just getting ready for winter vacation when a man with yellow hair, a high nose, and very fair skin shouted: "Sixty billion."
Boss Ma and Ma Teng looked over at the same time.
Zhang Xiao also took a look, then looked at Yang Mi and asked: "Honey, who is this person?"
Yang Mi said: "This is Recor from the Azabi Consortium."
Zhang Xiao was stunned and said: "Are you talking about the European Azabi?"
"Who else could be there besides this consortium?" Yang Mi said.
Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said with some curiosity: "Isn't the Azabi Consortium mainly engaged in the energy industry? How come it is also interested in the entertainment industry?"
Yang Mi rolled her eyes and said, "You really know nothing about the global entertainment industry."
"The Azabi Consortium entered the entertainment industry five years ago. Not only did they secretly acquire Europe's largest Wangdi Entertainment Company, they also established an entertainment company in Shanghai last year and networked with many domestic and foreign celebrities.
"
"With the financial advantage of the Adhabi Consortium, it is estimated that it will soon develop into a giant in the entertainment industry."
Zhang Xiao said: "Don't say I don't understand, the world is changing too fast. I heard Clark introduce the last consortium in the world before, and the Adhabi Consortium is one of them."
"On the surface, their assets have reached 800 billion U.S. dollars, but in fact they have exceeded the one trillion U.S. dollar mark ten years ago, second only to the most mysterious and powerful Roth Consortium in Europe."
Yang Mi was stunned when she heard this. After a while, she said, "Okay, I don't know anything anymore."
While Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi were chatting, the price of Suoli Cinema had risen to 75 billion.
The Azabi Consortium seems to be determined to win the Soli Cinema Line. No matter how much money Ma Boss or Ma Chenggong spends, Recor has one billion more than them.
Boss Ma was silent for a moment and said to Ma Teng, "It's up to you."
The price of 75 billion is already beyond what Boss Ma can bear.
Ma Teng thought for a while and said: "I will offer 79.9 billion. If Mr. Recor can offer 80 billion, then Suoli Cinema will be yours."
Upon hearing this, Lei Keer directly raised the sign and said: "Thank you, Mr. Ma, I will pay 80 billion."
After saying that, Lei Keer looked at Zhang Xiao. He knew very well that the richest person in the entire field must be Zhang Xiao. If he wanted to win the Suoli Cinema Line, he must have Zhang Xiao's nod.
Otherwise, with his little money, it would be impossible to compete with Zhang Xiao.
