Chapter 240 This is a new situation in which we are independent and break the anti-economic shackles!
At this time, most foreign businessmen in the conference hall were somewhat hesitant.
Many people hold their pens and hesitate when it comes to the bidding amount in the tender document, not knowing how much to fill in.
This is also the reason why Su Wenchen chose to shoot secretly.
Because no one knows what the other party’s psychological price is. Even if you can ask, who knows whether it is true or not? What if it is a smokescreen deliberately thrown by the other party?
So to be on the safe side, most people can only choose to fill in the highest price in their minds.
Then they cover it tightly, fearing that others will see it and offer a price just slightly higher than their own, which would be tragic.
As the hourglass slipped away little by little, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
"bite!"
A crisp electric bell rang.
Su Wenchen also reappeared in the center of the auction table.
"Dear friends, one hour has passed. If you are interested in bidding, please fill in the bid amount and your company name as soon as possible."
“After filling it out, you can put it in the standard box in front of the staff.”
"We will open the bid boxes in person, tally up everyone's bids, and then announce the winner."
After Su Wenchen finished his reminder, many people wondered how an hour could have passed so quickly!
Many people looked around, covered the bid documents with their hands, wrote the amount, folded them up quickly, and put them into the bid box immediately.
Then I breathed a sigh of relief.
Because all that's left is to leave it to fate.
It took more than ten minutes for the staff to collect all the bids, and the three bid boxes placed below were all moved to the center of the auction table.
Su Wenchen looked at the standard box in front and said directly.
"Now that everyone has submitted their bids, we will open the bid boxes and tally your bid amounts in front of everyone."
"Please wait a moment!"
Since this was the first time their country held this type of bidding, Su Wenchen chose to announce it directly on the spot, and this time there were only more than 500 foreign businessmen participating.
Some people came in groups of two or three, so they can be counted even if they are counted on the spot.
Several more people came up later and could understand the English and Russian translations.
A group of people immediately started to classify and count them. Su Wenchen was counting overseas Chinese businessmen from Hong Kong and Macau.
Because those who were invited here, although they all wrote in traditional Chinese characters, basically had no reading difficulties.
After Su Wenchen finished the statistics, he found that many bidders were individuals, most of whom directly bid at a price of US$40,000 to US$50,000 per set.
In total, a single piece of fur was worth almost four to five thousand U.S. dollars, far exceeding his initial estimate of fifteen hundred U.S. dollars.
Su Wenchen didn't expect these people to be so willing to spend so much. He felt that he had underestimated the attitude of wealthy foreigners towards luxury goods at that time.
Since there were not many bids and it was just a simple amount calculation, it was completed quickly.
After the bidders were listed, the bid boxes were also moved down.
"Okay, everyone, thank you for waiting. Now that all the numbers have been tallied, I will announce the winner of this auction."
After hearing this, the entire audience held their breath and stared intently at Su Wenchen above.
Su Wenchen didn't plan to waste time because there were more important things to announce later.
"First, the highest bidder so far is Mr. Fok from Hong Kong Island, bidding $100,000 for a set of Moonlight Treasures, with a single skin priced at $10,000."
Hearing this, the foreign businessmen below were stunned. Ten thousand yuan for a piece of fur, this is too high!
However, many people understood it in an instant. This should simply be an attitude of support.
After all, most people know that the other party has always been close to the domestic situation.
Su Wenchen also knew that Mr. Huo was mainly developing in the fields of real estate, shipping, and construction, and would basically not be involved in industries such as leather. Moreover, he only bid for one group, which should be an expression of support.
But no matter what the other party thought, their behavior did push the price directly to the peak of the fur category.
Because the most valuable Siberian sable skin at present, the most perfect one was sold for more than 5,000 US dollars.
No one has ever been able to break it.
Now the record holder for the highest price has finally changed, and this time ten photos were auctioned at once.
After that, Su Wenchen bowed slightly to Mr. Huo and continued to make the announcement.
"The second successful bidder was Mr. Albert Calvin from France, who bid $81,000 for a set of Moonlight Treasures, with each skin priced at $8,100."
As soon as Su Wenchen finished speaking, a young man wearing a white suit and looking a bit showy immediately stood up excitedly.
"Sean, Sean, I won the bid. When I go back, I will definitely design the most perfect outfit."
"Believe me, it will shock everyone!"
The slightly older young man wearing a black suit rubbed his head.
"Abel, you spent $80,000 on ten furs. There's absolutely nothing to be happy about. I admit the furs are high quality, but they're not worth the $80,000 you spent."
"No, no, no, you don't understand. This is art. I believe this kind of fur will soon become popular in Europe."
"And I'm going to use it to prepare a set of rare furs with a dark night sheen."
"Darkness and light, two completely opposite properties, are fused together using this rare fur to create the world's first breathing moonlight dress."
"Oh, I get shudders just thinking about that scene!"
"But the damn thing is, my status as the first buyer was snatched away by someone else. If I had known, I should have bid $110,000."
Obviously, compared with the identity of the first buyer, thirty thousand US dollars was not in his consideration.
Moreover, after seeing this price, other foreign businessmen found that they might have to reconsider this kind of fur.
Because of the first $100,000, many people thought it was self-promotion because of Mr. Huo’s connections with the mainland.
Then this second time is the real recognition from others.
Especially in Western Europe, many people still know the bidder Abel Calvin.
As the fourth-generation heir of the Calvin family, there is no way he was invited here to act as a stooge.
Su Wenchen then continued to announce the winners one after another, and most of the people at the top were individual bidders.
There were a total of 328 groups in front, all of whom were individual bidders.
Almost all of the auctions were conducted in groups of one to ten, and the average price of each fur was around US$5,000.
Because these people may be collecting, they are naturally willing to pay the highest price.
As the quantity becomes smaller and smaller, many of those bidding in the name of companies are getting a little anxious. They can't let all 10,000 furs be contracted out to private individuals!
"Next is the Fendi Group from Italy. They successfully bid for 300 sets of Moonlight Treasures at a price of US$90.57 million. Each pelt is worth US$3,019."
"The Calvin Workshop in France bid $90.27 million for 300 sets of Moonlight Treasures, which translates to $3,009 per pelt."
As soon as the price was announced, there were many exclamations from the audience.
Many people were even more worried.
Because the two big groups actually booked 600 groups at once, and this was also the upper limit set by Su Wenchen, otherwise the remaining people would probably have booked all of them.
Abel in the audience looked at his friend beside him curiously.
"Sean, it seems like you've been seen through by those five Fendi sisters!"
"They're deliberately bidding against your price!"
Hearing this, Sean shrugged.
"Didn't I capture all three hundred shots? This proves my vision hasn't deteriorated!"
"But you've been seen through!"
"It was just a coincidence, I still managed to get 300 shots!"
"But you're being oppressed!"
"Shit, Abel, if you keep repeating this, I don't mind telling Anna about your past scandals at school."
"Okay! Sean, I think it's better to let this old history rot in my stomach!"
Su Wenchen looked at the company with the highest bid at the back.
Announced directly.
"The final seventy-two groups, from Japan's Mitsui Trading Company, won the bid at $3,001 per pelt."
After hearing what Su Wenchen said, the person in charge of Mitsui Trading Company below began to scold the subordinates in a low voice.
"Baga! You're such a smug idiot for only raising the price by a dollar!"
It was obvious that the other party was very angry. After all, the bidding amounts of the three parties were only a dozen dollars apart, which meant that their psychological price was around three thousand dollars per ticket.
It would be fine if other people’s prices were much higher, but this one that is only slightly higher is really suppressing your IQ and strategy.
So Mitsui & Co. was naturally very unhappy that it only got 72 tickets in the end.
After all, the first two companies each had 300 groups, while they only had more than 70 groups. This was not only a matter of money, but also a matter of his face.
After Su Wenchen made the announcement, he looked at the final calculated average price of more than 4,300 US dollars per fur, which was nearly three times his estimated price.
And these were only 10,000 furs. It could be said that he felt a sense of accomplishment at this moment.
"My dear friends, I now declare the auction of the Moonlight Treasures officially closed. Winning bidders must make wire transfers within three days. If they exceed the deadline, the winning bid will automatically be transferred to the next person."
"Also, you can rest assured that due to the extremely demanding production methods of this precious fur, we only produce 20,000 precious furs each year."
"But for those who didn't take the photo, don't worry. We have reserved 10,000 precious photos of the Moonlight just for our friends."
"Later, we will give you a list of equipment that our country needs to import."
"If you are interested, please take a look. For those who can deliver the equipment we need, we will give you Moonlight Treasures worth the same amount as the equipment at the market price."
"And don't worry, we won't need your most advanced equipment. I can reveal that many of the production lines on our list are obsolete in your country."
"You can go back and buy these at a very low price, then ship them to us in exchange for valuable furs."
"Of course, if it's industrial equipment we urgently need, we'll also give these friendly friends extra gifts exceeding the value of the equipment."
Hearing this, many people's eyes suddenly flickered.
Apparently some people have realized that these subsequent things cannot be bought with money.
In addition, the countries that are generally invited to the Canton Fair are basically those with which China has established diplomatic relations, so most foreign businessmen are also clear about what types of industrial equipment are urgently needed in China, which is now blocked by both poles.
But whether it is blocked or not has little to do with them, as long as it is not military equipment.
Many foreign businessmen feel that it is not impossible to trade. If the profit is huge, even if it is in the military industry, it is not impossible to find a way.
Because no one would think that sending some of their obsolete production lines would enable this country to develop and eventually surpass them.
As the auction came to an end, many foreign businessmen were worried.
Obviously the reason for the 10,000 furs behind.
However, some more astute small businessmen thought this was an opportunity to make a fortune and had to ship in equipment before they could make the exchange.
After all, those big companies may have concerns. After all, if they are exposed, there will definitely be impacts on stock prices and the company.
But these small companies don’t have to worry about these things. As long as they can make money, what does it matter to them whether it is blocked or not?
Obviously, after Su Wenchen raised the price through secret bidding, most people felt that if they could exchange some obsolete domestic equipment for this kind of high-quality fur, it would be a very cost-effective deal no matter how they looked at it.
And judging from the bidding on site, most people don’t seem to worry at all about not being able to sell the items.
Many people also have an idea of the price of obsolete equipment in their own countries.
So many people started asking the foreign affairs staff for a list of equipment as soon as they left the auction.
Some people even think that they will return to China as soon as they get the list and purchase those obsolete equipment.
Because many people come here to see if there are any opportunities to make money.
Now that they have found it, the main focus will definitely be on making money. After all, there are only 10,000 precious furs.
Three days later.
Bank foreign exchange settlement room.
When the last foreign exchange settlement was completed, the head of the Foreign Exchange Settlement Office of the Guangzhou Branch of the People's Bank of China walked out with an excited look on his face.
"Ministers, the final tally is complete. The total is $43.54 million, and not a single order has been canceled!"
Hearing this, Su Wenchen immediately felt relieved. After all, although the deal was done, the other party could still go back on their word after the money arrived.
Now that the money has arrived, it means that others recognize the value of this fur.
Then the subsequent equipment replacement can continue.
Minister Chen here could hardly hide the joy on his face.
"Very good. I'll call Beijing City right away to report this good news. We also need to get a list of names for subsequent equipment replacements as soon as possible. The Canton Fair will end in fifteen days. If we don't hurry, everyone will leave."
"Xiao Su, you should take a good rest in the next few days!"
"You've been exhausted lately. Take this opportunity to explore Guang City. Wait for notification from the hospital for details."
Su Wenchen also responded with a smile.
"Minister, we are all serving the people. Why is it tiring?"
Hearing this, Minister Sha from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry on the other side became a little anxious.
"Old leader, we can't let the hospital make all the decisions!"
"If I'm not there, they will definitely not remember our Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. If they take my people away, who will I ask for help?"
"Then I don't care. It's you who rushed over here first!"
"I didn't think there would be much foreign exchange. Our Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has already absorbed it. Who knew there was so much? Besides, this person is from our agricultural system. I'll be very angry if anyone wants to transfer him!"
Looking at Minister Chen walking out with big strides, he immediately prepared to chase him out and discuss countermeasures.
However, after taking two steps, he turned around and looked at Su Wenchen and said.
"Xiao Su, I'm telling you, don't listen to other people's nonsense. They're all trying to trick you into working."
"Don't worry, I'll tell you later when I have time!"
When Su Wenchen heard this, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Minister Sha, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry. I really think the agricultural system is good, and I think it's only in breeding that I can play the greatest role."
Hearing this, Minister Sha smiled and patted Su Wenchen on the shoulder.
"Haha, good boy, you have good foresight. Without our agricultural system, those industrial workers would be starving every day."
"We are the first pillar of the country!"
"But remember what you said! Don't change your mind so easily!"
After saying this quickly, he chased after Minister Chen in front of him.
"Old leader, please wait for me. You have to stand on my side this time. Our agricultural system is suffering so much. This time, the procurement must focus on fertilizer equipment."
After the two big leaders left, the Lan City Foreign Exchange Earning Group felt like they were in a dream these days.
Before coming here, no one except Su Wenchen dared to think about earning more than 10 million in foreign exchange.
But now, after exporting only 10,000 sheets, we have earned more than 40 million in foreign exchange.
It is more than the total foreign exchange earned by Lan City in the previous ten years.
Not to mention the 10,000 furs that need to be exchanged for various urgently needed industrial equipment.
Deng Hongxia didn't know what to do.
Because Minister Sha of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry said earlier that although she was not present, she still found out later.
Her mood can be said to be more complicated than Director Zhu's.
After all, no one would feel comfortable watching their own peach orchard grow and then suddenly become a public peach orchard.
In fact, it was not just Deng Hongxia. Everyone else in the Lan City foreign exchange earning group had mixed feelings.
Han Yang was worried about the promotion of Lanshuichang, so what would happen to the leather foreign trade company?
After all, Lanshuichang was promoted, but how the foreign trade company would deal with it was not explained in detail at the time. If Su Wenchen left, Han Yang knew that he would definitely not be able to hold on to this big piece of fat meat.
With more than 40 million in foreign exchange a year, he could tell with his bare feet that there must be a lot of people watching him.
Su Wenchen turned around and looked at the people with complicated expressions except Jiang Li, and knew what they were worried about.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't worry, I won't leave you alone."
Hearing this, Deng Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, Su Wenchen's words made her heart, which had just relaxed, tense up again.
"However, you will be responsible for what happens in the city later."
"Due to our rush this year, the first batch of rabbits were all top-grade Yuehua rabbits. However, going forward, our farm will only be responsible for raising top-grade Yuehua rabbits."
"Once we become famous for this precious fur, you can raise more ordinary Moonlight Rabbits."
"We're going to seize the market for mid-range fur. Although the price won't be as high as this, due to the low production and high price of top-grade Moonlight Rabbit, many people who can't afford it will definitely consider alternatives like yours."
"As long as the price is right, it will definitely sell out in a short period of time!"
Then he turned to look at Jiang Li.
"Your commune can also purchase breeding rabbits from our farm and specialize in raising ordinary Yuehua rabbits."
"After all, even though we're a farm directly under the Ministry, we probably won't be moving!"
"At most, they're just building a new field somewhere else."
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Jiang Li nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll tell the county when I get back. I'll definitely take advantage of your farm's success and start breeding ordinary Yuehua rabbits as soon as possible. It's just that the rabbit feed is a difficult issue."
Su Wenchen thought about it.
"There's no rush. I'll look back at the next step in the development of our farm. It might be in the Yellow River floodplain. With support from above, we'll definitely plant a lot of alkali-resistant alfalfa there."
The other side.
Lan City.
Blue Water Livestock Ranch.
Since we haven't received the above documents yet, Blue Water Field is completely unprepared.
Since Su Wenchen and Han Yang are not here now.
Now he and Zheng Xianghong, one is in charge of Lanshui and the other is in charge of Shiquan, which seems to be a bit of a case of keeping out of each other's way.
Early in the morning, he was patrolling the chicken coop with his hands behind his back.
This is his personal habit. No matter what he does, he must go to the front line to check it out in person.
In the end, I hadn't even taken a few steps.
There was a sudden burst of exclamations from the backstage, and there was also a heated discussion.
The sound was so loud that Zhang Zhenhua, who was standing there, frowned.
Just walk over with a straight face.
When I opened the door, I saw everyone gathered together, and I had no idea what they were doing.
And some people were still shouting.
"Is this our venue? It can't be fake!"
"It has to be real. How could a newspaper delivered by the post office be fake?"
Zhang Zhenhua didn't understand what he heard.
"What are you guys doing gathered together?"
"Is working time for you to get together and do other things?"
After hearing Zhang Zhenhua's voice, the person in charge still said with a happy expression.
"Deputy Director Zhang, our field has been reported again."
Zhang Zhenhua frowned even more.
"Hasn't it been on the Internet before? What's so shocking about this? Is it being reposted by the same place again?"
The others immediately shook their heads.
"No, this time it's the People's Daily, and it's the front page headline!"
"We were a little bit incredulous, and they were talking about the director and his team going to the Canton Fair."
Zhang Zhenhua was a little confused.
"Isn't the Canton Fair over yet? Why is there an early report?"
As he said this, he walked over and took the newspapers from the people.
When he saw the title for the first time, his eyes narrowed sharply.
Because that’s what’s on the front page.
"Leadership Instructions: This is a new era for us to be independent, self-reliant, and break free from economic shackles!"
The following content follows.
Good news from the Canton Fair! China's working people independently bred the Yuehua rabbit, producing exquisite Yuehua fur that earned US$43.54 million in foreign exchange.
Looking at the amount, Zhang Zhenhua cleared his throat and had no idea what to say.
He didn't even know whether he should be happy or sad at this moment.
In the end, he said nothing, but just took the newspaper and walked towards his office step by step.
At this moment, he just wanted to be alone and quiet.
