"You said you could just come to the capital by yourself, but you still insist on asking me to come with you. Do you think I'm very idle and have nothing to do all day? Let me tell you, it's not like that. I have a lot of things to deal with."
Tang Jieton held up a glass of red wine and complained while pretending to be angry.
"Are you still angry at the Canton Fair?"
The person standing next to Don Gerton was none other than August from Schiller Heavy Industries.
He was the heir to the Schiller family who rejected Zhao Shanhe and Tang Jieton at the Canton Fair and wanted to invest solely on his own.
"What do you think?"
Tang Jieton raised his eyebrows and said in a displeased tone: "It doesn't matter if you reject me, you even rejected Zhao Shanhe! In the end, you saw how strong Zhao Shanhe's energy is."
"A person who started out in less than two years can actually achieve such brilliant results. Don't you think he is a very talented businessman?"
"You're still afraid that others' investment will take away your power, but you never thought that they have no intention of investing at all! You, you really missed the mark this time."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that investing would be so troublesome. If I had known that it would be like this, I should have left it to you and Zhao Shanhe!"
August shook his head in annoyance.
"Don't, don't, don't, I'm too lazy to meddle in your business. At best, I just want to share some shares and follow behind to make some money. Don't ask me for things that need management like this. I'm too lazy to take care of it.
"
Tang Jieton refused on the spot without thinking.
"Yes, you are too lazy to take care of it. I also find it troublesome. If I had known, I should have left it to Zhao Shanhe. Alas!"
"But it doesn't matter. I don't need to take the initiative to ask him. That's it. The two of us can do it. The most important thing is to recruit a professional manager. It's not a big deal." August waved his hand nonchalantly.
said.
"So what do you want to do when you come to the capital of China this time?" Tang Jieton asked noncommittally.
"I have received news that China will hold a Challenge Cup tomorrow at the most famous institution of higher learning, Jingzhou University, which is an auction of college students' scientific and technological achievements."
"You know, I'm very interested in things like auctions, so I wanted to come over and have a look to see if I can find a suitable investment project."
"No way! Are you serious?"
As soon as August finished speaking, Don Gerton looked over with an expression of disbelief.
"Of course." August replied matter-of-factly.
"I'm really speechless!"
Tang Jieton shook his head helplessly and sighed: "August, let me tell you what you are good at. If you really want scientific and technological achievements, do you still need to come here? We have many in the United States!
"
"Besides, do you really think that these universities in China can come up with projects worthy of your investment? You are so naive! They are just a group of college students!"
"If they say they can succeed, our laboratories in the United States will be so embarrassed! You, I am afraid you will be disappointed this time. If I had known that you came here for this matter, I would have said nothing to accompany you to fool around.
.”
Tang Jieton was really speechless.
"Just think of it as a chance to try your luck. You don't know, I received news that some college students are offering a price of 10 million." August's words made Don Gerton lose interest.
"It's up to you. If you like, I can go with you, but I will leave after the auction ends tomorrow."
"good!"
…
The whole night was silent.
the next day.
The weather in June has begun to get hotter, and the sky is getting brighter very early. When the sun rises high and has not had time to bake the city, the entire capital is already busy.
The streets are full of traffic, and people riding bicycles have smiles on their faces.
Jingzhou University.
As the organizer of this Challenge Cup, Kyongshu University is making intensive preparations.
In fact, they have already started making arrangements for this matter very early, but it always feels like the matter is not over in one day, and the preparations are always going on.
Small auditorium.
This is the venue for the auction of scientific and technological achievements.
Before you get close to the small auditorium, you can hear a buzz coming from inside. College students are sitting inside, talking loudly.
Of course, among them are students from Jingzhou University, and more of them come from all over the country. No matter where they come from, they are all very interested in today's auction and want to know what will happen.
"Let me tell you, what our school has produced this time is a top product, with an asking price of 10 million!"
"Stop talking, your Jingzhou University is awesome. With a starting price of 10 million, do you think anyone will really take the bid?"
"We are also determined to win this time."
"I want to know now, at such an auction, will the bosses really spend real money to bid?"
…
After all, there has never been a successful case of this kind of thing before. Even if the Challenge Cup has been held before, it was mostly academic in nature. This is used to measure which university has a high level of scientific research. No one has ever thought that it could be done.
Sold.
The college students speculated with trepidation.
The leaders of the school were also unsure. They subconsciously looked at the entrepreneur camp, imagining whether someone from this group would stand up and bid.
It would be embarrassing to say otherwise.
"Have you seen Zhao Shanhe?" Jiang Guangnian sat on the chair expressionlessly, looking straight ahead, leaning his head slightly to Jinchang beside him, trying not to make too big movements with his lips, and asked in a low voice
.
At Dongzhou University, he was the high-ranking vice president, but here, sitting next to him were vice presidents from various universities. For a moment, he didn't even feel a trace of superiority, and even felt a little uneasy.
In this atmosphere, he could only place his hope on Zhao Shanhe's arrival.
"I didn't see it, there are too many people!"
Jinchangshi shook his head and looked around to find Zhao Shanhe, but to find Zhao Shanhe among so many people would undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack. He could only pray that Zhao Shanhe would show up soon.
"Then wait!" Jiang Guangnian's face remained calm, and he sat upright again after speaking.
Entrepreneur camp.
An area is specially divided here for all the bosses who come to bid. They are the protagonists today, and their wallets determine whether today's Challenge Cup can be successful or not.
"Mr. Liu, what project are you here for this time?"
"Mr. Zhao, long time no see. Let's go have a drink later."
"I'm telling you, I'm here purely because of my appearance, and I won't bid."
…
Amidst the laughter of the entrepreneurs, the auction soon started according to the procedure.
The person in charge of this auction was not someone from Jingzhou University, but an alumnus specially hired from outside, Han Zhengyang, the chief auctioneer of a certain auction house.
As the leading auctioneer in the auction house, Han Zhengyang is well-informed and can handle such a scene with ease.
If it weren't for the fact that he was an alumnus of Jingzhou University, he might not have come to host such a small-scale auction. Because even he didn't have much confidence in such an auction.
A garden party for college students.
This is what Han Zhengyang thinks.
Of course, ideas are ideas, and he will not show any contempt or neglect. On the contrary, he will devote 10% of his energy to promoting this auction. Because only in this way can he show his power.
"Everyone, you have just heard the opening remarks made by Principal Liu, so I won't talk about the unnecessary nonsense. Let's get straight to the point."
Han Zhengyang said and picked up a piece of information.
"The first scientific and technological achievement we are going to auction today comes from Jingzhou University. It is the invention of a university student research group. It is called the new technology of flower cyanide-free electroplating pure gold and imitation gold."
"Before starting the auction, you can look through the information in your hand for an introduction. I will briefly explain it to you here."
"The principle of this new technology is to use the protection of metal to permanently maintain the most delicate form of flowers when they first bloom, and this will not affect the texture of the flowers. I believe this new technology has good application prospects...
…”
Han Zhengyang introduced it concisely and comprehensively.
Everyone listened with interest.
After Han Zhengyang finished speaking, he got to the point.
"The starting price of this new technology is 40,000 yuan, and each increase in price must not be less than 5,000 yuan. Now, all interested entrepreneurs are invited to pick up the number plates in your hands and bid."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, someone directly raised the number plate.
"Forty-five thousand!"
"fifty thousand!"
"Sixty-five thousand!"
…
Han Zhengyang, who originally didn't have much confidence in the auction, was refreshed after seeing this scene. It seems that today's auction will be successful! In this case, he must be full of energy to host it.
"Sixty-five thousand yuan a time!"
"Is there any price increase?"
"Bosses, I hope you can think carefully about this technology. It really has a broad future in the future."
Han Zhengyang said with a bright smile.
"What kind of new technology is this? Brother Zhao, are you interested?" Liang Junning's lips moved slightly and he looked to the side and asked curiously.
"I'm a bit interested." Zhao Shanhe nodded slightly and said.
"Then let's wait and see. I think this first scientific and technological achievement will definitely not escape. It must be a good start, otherwise Jingzhou University will be embarrassed." Liang Junning said in a low voice.
"Haha!" Zhao Shanhe smiled calmly.
"Seventy thousand!"
"Seventy-five thousand!"
"Eighty thousand!"
While the two were talking, the bidding price skyrocketed, and finally reached 100,000 yuan. And this was also the final transaction price. As the hammer in Han Zhengyang's hand fell with a thud, the first scientific and technological achievement was auctioned off.
.
The starting price was 40,000 yuan, and the final bid reached 100,000 yuan.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is indeed a good start.
What follows is a series of auctions.
Han Zhengyang is truly the chief auctioneer. Every technological achievement he has introduced so far has not failed to be auctioned. As long as the price is not too exaggerated, it will all be sold in the end.
Seeing this scene, all the college students present were excited. They were encouraged, and a sense of satisfaction in being recognized began to spread in their hearts.
Who said reading is useless? This is the value of knowledge.
At this moment, Han Zhengyang picked up another document, and this time as his words fell, the whole place was in an uproar.
