Chapter 658 Kelly: I'm also planning to find a Chinese person!
As soon as the host finished speaking, everyone in the audience looked at the boy.
At this moment, the boy found a place to sit down, picked up the water provided by the organizers on the table, took a sip, and then looked at the host with a smile.
"Is it the CMJK Group?"
"Isn't that Wang Xiucheng's younger brother?"
"It turns out that the number 1 sign belongs to the CMJK Group."
Many people recognized the boy who had just held up the sign as Wang Xiucheng's younger brother, a Chinese-American named Ma Wei.
He was one of the people Wang Xiucheng trusted most.
Ryan gritted his teeth and quickly took out his phone to dial a number.
The host noticed Ryan's appearance and wasn't in a hurry.
"Boss, CMJK has offered 1.1 million."
"Yes, he's Wang Xiucheng's younger brother. He used to be Wang Xiucheng's little follower every day. His sister is Wang Xiucheng's manager."
"Ok, I know."
Ryan didn't put the phone away, but instead held up the sign again, "1.15 million."
Upon hearing this, the host's eyes lit up again, and he was about to repeat the new offer of 1.15 million.
Unexpectedly, the young man's voice rang out again from another direction.
"1.2 million." This time, Ma Wei didn't even bother to hold up the sign; he just stretched out a finger.
The host, of course, wouldn't care about such details, and immediately shouted excitedly, "CMJK Group No. 1 has made a new bid of 1.2 million. Is there any new bid?"
The crowd below began to whisper among themselves.
Today's auction participants are almost all well-known capital groups.
There is a price ceiling for the Lafite Tower, which is 1.1 million.
If it exceeds that, then it will be difficult to make a profit.
They are all investment groups, and once they acquire the Lafayette Building, they will eventually resell it.
If the 1.1 million in cash is tied up for too long, it will ultimately be a losing proposition.
Therefore, when they heard that Mawei had offered 1.2 million, they all secretly shook their heads.
Even if you get the Lafite Building at this price, you won't be able to make any money.
At the very least, they can't make money.
Ryan held the phone and spoke softly to the person on the other end.
The host remained unhurried and continued to wait.
"1.25 million, that's the final price. If we can't get it, then we'll forget about it."
After stating the price, the person on the phone hung up.
This made Ryan realize that this was indeed the final offer.
Even with Blackstone's extensive network, $1.25 million still represents a significant risk.
He also knew that Blackstone would need to borrow part of the money from other capital sources, and that the loan could only be repaid after the Flying Tower was sold.
If calculated based on the original price of 1 million, then this acquisition would be very worthwhile. Blackstone Group could earn 5000 million in just a year or two.
But now, in the end, they can only earn 2500 million, and they still have to bear huge uncertain risks.
Ryan held up a sign that read, "1.25 million."
The host's eyes lit up again, and as he announced the new price, he looked expectantly at Ma Wei in the corner.
Mawei picked up the bottled water, took another sip, and then put it down.
The new offer the host was expecting did not materialize.
He repeated it three times, but Ma Wei didn't raise the sign again.
"1.25 million, congratulations to Blackstone Group." The host tapped the gavel.
Ryan stood up with an indescribable expression, went to the front, and shook hands with the host.
But Ryan's eyes remained fixed on Mawei.
Ma Wei also stood up and clapped along with the others, with a smile on his face, as if he were sincerely congratulating him.
After doing all this, Ma Wei placed the small number 1 sign on the table and left the venue.
Ryan wanted to call out to Mawei and have a casual chat with him, but the host kept pulling him away, giving him no chance to chase after Mawei.
After leaving the conference room, Wang Xiucheng headed straight for the elevator, with Awen and Xiaodao following closely behind Ma Wei.
The elevator doors opened quickly, and Ma Wei and the other two entered the elevator. Ma Wei took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Sister Mary, just as you predicted, their bottom line is 1.25 million."
"The Blackstone people have very interesting expressions, hehe."
"Is there another auction in Los Angeles tomorrow with Blackstone involved?"
"Okay, I'll leave right away."
After hanging up the phone, Ma Wei smiled and said, "Awen, you guys go back and get your luggage later. We're going to Los Angeles. Maybe we'll even see my brother there."
“Okay, Brother Ma.” Awen and Xiaodao’s eyes lit up.
……
After spending two days with Ma Xiaoxuan and her son in Houston, Wang Xiucheng went to Los Angeles.
Wang Xiucheng didn't have Kendall pick him up; instead, he rented a car at the airport and drove back.
Kendall, holding Alice, stood at the villa entrance waiting for Wang Xiucheng.
In mid-May, Los Angeles was already quite warm during the day.
Wang Xiucheng got out of the car and personally carried the child over.
"Alice, have you been naughty?" Wang Xiucheng kissed his daughter on the cheek, and the stubble on his beard made Alice giggle.
Kendall put his arm around Wang Xiucheng's and said somewhat shyly, "My sister knew you were coming today, so she came too."
"Your sister?" Wang Xiucheng was slightly taken aback. "Which sister?"
“They’re all here.” Kendall looked up at Wang Xiucheng and saw that Wang Xiucheng’s expression was not good, so he immediately explained, “I don’t know how they knew you were here.”
Wang Xiucheng smiled and asked, "What about your sister?"
"She's here too, but she's gone out to buy something now. She'll be back in a bit."
"Hehe." Wang Xiucheng chuckled, knowing who had said it.
Wang Xiucheng only told Kelly about coming to Los Angeles, but Kelly obviously told her sister about it as well.
Just as Kendall and I were about to go inside, the roar of a high-displacement sports car came from afar.
Wang Xiucheng and Kendall looked over and, sure enough, a very eye-catching red sports car stopped in the parking space from afar.
The scissor doors opened upwards, and Kelly, wearing a white miniskirt, got out of the car. She looked at Wang Xiucheng's face, then took two bags out of the car.
Kendall went over to help and took one.
Wang Xiucheng didn't wait for them and carried Alice towards the villa.
But after walking only a few steps, Kendall and Kelly caught up with Wang Xiucheng.
"Why did you buy so much? Are you planning to stay at my house for a week?"
"There are vegetables, meat, and snacks for the children inside, but there isn't actually that much."
The two people followed Wang Xiucheng, talking as they walked.
But the next moment, Wang Xiucheng felt his waist being pinched.
Wang Xiucheng didn't even dare to look, only coughing lightly to cover it up.
You don't need to look at Wang Xiucheng to know that Kelly did it.
"I've learned a few Chinese dishes, I'll cook them for you in a bit, you can try them."
"Chinese cuisine? When did you decide you wanted to cook?"
"I see that you two have a good relationship, and I'm also planning to find a Chinese person."
"Chinese?"
