As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

One billion!

As expected of a fruit, the price doubled as soon as it was opened.

Grosso, who was sitting in the last row, was so happy.

This time when he sold ASML, his target price was 700 million to 800 million, which was already very good.

After all, ASML’s total market value is only 5 billion.

This kind of transaction in the primary market is generally more favorable than that in the secondary market.

Fu Song couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He really didn't expect that Tim was so cruel.

You have to know that 1 billion dollars is 8 billion RMB. Even though he has worked hard to become wealthy, he really can't come up with that much money.

After thinking for a while, Fu Song turned to Tang Keke and said with an apologetic smile: "Boss Tang, please help me!"

Tang Keke looked at him helplessly: "Just say what you want to say. Don't look at me like that. It scares me."

Fu Song: "Uh...it's very simple, can you lend me some money?

Of course, if you want to invest, that’s fine too.”

Tang Keke asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"Of course I'll borrow as much as I can."

"Really? I have $2 billion worth of stocks from various companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange that can be used as cash."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Fu Song immediately stood up and said, "2 billion!"

Oh shit!

Everyone suddenly felt that the world had gone crazy.

Tim just doubled the price to $1 billion, which was shocking.

As a result, someone is now doubling the amount on this basis.

This is no longer shocking, it's outrageous.

You should know that ASML's total market value is only 5 billion, and you bid 2 billion for 17% of the shares.

They really wanted to teach this young man a lesson, telling him that this is not the right way to buy things.

Tang Keke suddenly pinched Fu Song's thigh with her thumb and index finger, and then twisted it hard.

Fu Song felt pain and turned around immediately: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Tang Keke looked at him palely: "Are you crazy? Increase it to 2 billion directly?

If I just told you I have 3 billion, would you say 3 billion?"

You can't blame her for being angry. 2 billion dollars is at least 15 billion RMB when converted into RMB.

Even her father Tang Jun was not so generous as to invest so much money.

Fu Songdao: "Sister, you are so excited!

I just lent you the money and will return it to you soon.

And you might not even be able to buy it for $2 billion.”

Tang Keke was stunned: "What did you say?"

Fu Song didn't answer, but looked at Tim.

In fact, although 2 billion US dollars may seem like a lot to others, it is really not much for Fu Song.

Although ASML looks weak now, it will grow into a super giant with a market value of more than 200 billion US dollars in ten years.

17% of 200 billion is 34 billion, which means that as long as Fu Song can get it for 2 billion, he will get 7 times the profit.

Therefore, this is a business that is sure to make money.

The reason why ASML can develop so quickly is very simple. The next few years will be a critical period for the explosive growth of mobile phone sales.

As long as mobile phones are sold, chips are indispensable. If you want to produce chips, you can never do without lithography machines, especially the patents brought by lithography machines.

Fu Song could see these things, and he didn't believe that Tim, a shareholder of the fruit, couldn't see them.

Even if Tim hadn't thought it through completely, even if he had some awareness, 2 billion was not the final price.

Sure enough, Tim's expression was not one of giving up, but of weighing the pros and cons.

A long trade-off.

It seems that 2 billion is almost the limit of what he can bear. Even if he increases the price, it probably won't be too much.

Finally, Tim made up his mind.

He stood up, raised his bidding board, and was about to raise the price again with a resounding voice when another voice said, "5 billion!"

Everyone...

Tim's hand trembled, and he threw the bidding ball to the ground with force, cursing unwillingly: "Shit!"

He sat back in the chair again and didn't move.

Obviously, he gave up.

But everyone's focus was no longer on him, but on Stephen.

He was the one who called out the price of 5 billion.

The people next to Stephen immediately gave him a thumbs up, and this thumbs up also represented their thoughts: Awesome, Klaus!

The other party is really awesome.

If Tim's doubling of his wealth from 500 million to 1 billion is considered an act of extreme wealth, Fu Song's doubling of his wealth from 1 billion to 2 billion is considered an act of inhumane wealth.

Stephen cannot be described by any idiom containing the word "rich".

Not only did he double it, but he doubled it by 2.5 times!

A real rich guy!

*

Today's stock auction on the New York Stock Exchange concluded successfully.

All participants, regardless of whether they got their dream shares or not, felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Because for a long time to come, ASML's bidding war will be a topic of conversation for them.

Of course, where some are happy, others are sad.

Arnold looked at Stephen, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot: “Brother, I have no grudge against you, right?”

Stephen was stunned: "You have a grudge against me? How is that possible! We are best brothers!"

Unexpectedly, Arnold took a step back and said, "Don't come on, I don't have a brother like you.

Also, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will report everything that happened today.

It's not that I won't help you take the blame for paying a 5 billion yuan premium to buy 18% of ASML shares, but I really can't bear it."

Stephen laughed: "What did I think?

Don't worry, I will explain this matter to the board of directors myself."

Hearing Stephen say this, Arnold wanted to ask him how he was going to explain, but he didn't say anything when the words came to his lips.
