Blackstone Code

The auctioneer's words made those who were still hesitating stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses.

In fact, similar methods have appeared more than once in various auctions.

With an unimaginable increase, people feel hesitant and hesitant.

Especially when auctioning similar items.

Many people will use the first auction process and results to adjust their psychological price, thus missing the opportunity to do the biggest thing with the least money!

When they want to bid again later, they discover that the transaction price of the previous auction is the starting price of the next auction!

After thinking about this issue clearly, the emotions at the auction site were aroused in an instant!

The people from the gaming group glanced at the auctioneer with an ugly expression.

If he hadn't talked so much and lost faster, maybe the hammer would have fallen by now!

"Twenty million!"

The auctioneer's teeth reflected the luster of enamel under the high light, "...Mr. No. bids 200 million. This gentleman is really the richest man I have ever seen!"

"The special operating license numbered 1 is worth 200 million. I think it is not enough to reflect its value."

"Is there anyone else bidding?"

"Okay...Mr. No. bids 220 million."

"...Mr. No. bids 300 million..."

The atmosphere suddenly became heated, and the team's quotation indeed raised the upper limit of the transaction price. After nearly half an hour of fighting, the first license plate was sold for 570 million.

The one who got this license was the gaming group. They originally planned to try to take two shots, but now it seems that just one has made them almost unable to keep up.

Once you have the license, you still need to build a casino and supporting facilities, which is an investment of hundreds of millions and billions.

Lynch's central casino (Blackstone Casino) has a total investment of 2.5 billion. Even if they don't build a arena or other things, the cost will be more than 300 million!

This is not a stadium, even metal chairs costing ten dollars can satisfy the audience!

This is a casino!

Mirrored marble floor, crystal chandelier, gold edging!

If it’s not extremely luxurious, how can it compete with other casinos?

When they made the plan, the overall construction cost was just over 100 million, but the minimum guarantee for decoration and other things would be 200 million!

They don't expect to compete with Lynch, but they can't be too far behind, right?

Catherine and the professor were also very excited, because the money was revenue from the state government, and it was Catherine who decided how to spend the money.

If the governor has money and the power to decide how to spend it, the mayors below will know what to do.

For example, the current mayor of Slem is so excited that his whole face looks like it has peeled off from the sun, so red that it can bleed!

If the next seven license plates can be sold at this price, the revenue will be at least 3 billion.

As the capital of the state, is it okay to allocate an additional two to three billion to Slem's finances?

Others are also excited. The original small team began to actively contact other familiar teams. The price of 570 million has stopped many small forces.

In addition to being able to compete with the first group of people, this also means that the subsequent prices will be at least 500 million or more.

Unless they unite more people, there is no way they can get a license!

At this time, the auctioneer had already begun to prepare for the second license. At the same time, people from the Federal Gaming Group began to contact some small groups.

The money in their hands may not be able to support the subsequent development and operation of the casino. They have to absorb some funds, even though they are not willing!

This is actually Lynch's willingness to spare one billion for investment. He also needs others to invest money. These small groups seem numerous and chaotic, but Lynch doesn't care.

The atmosphere at the auction was very lively. Many people were sweating profusely due to the heat, but they still didn't want to go out to cool down.

The subsequent transaction prices are basically around 600 million, and the last license may be the lowest, only 490 million.

It seems that the last piece is the most cost-effective, but no one dares to bet on the price of the last piece.

The final total transaction price was 5.7 billion.

Of course, this part of the money is not a one-time payment, and these people are not able to pay so much at once. It will be divided into six times, and all will be paid within three years.

The first payment is 30% of the total amount, which is 1.7 billion.

The rest will be paid in five installments.

With this 1.7 billion, and next year's billion, the construction and development of the entire state will be much easier!

The next step is a more detailed investment plan.

Everyone who obtained a license began to raise capital from domestic and around the world, and Lynch also issued a prospectus to the outside world.

He issued 2.5 billion shares at a price of one dollar per share, of which 1.5 billion shares have already entered his pocket.

The remaining one billion shares will be raised through IPO financing in two ways.

The first is to subscribe for two yuan per share, and the shares subscribed in this way have voting rights.

The second option is to subscribe for a face value of one yuan per share, but such stocks do not have voting rights and only enjoy dividends.

In layman's terms, if these one billion shares are to generate shareholder rights, investors must spend two billion to subscribe.

If they are unwilling to spend more, for example, one billion yuan to subscribe directly, then although Lynch only controls 60% of the stock, his power is 100%.

He can decide anything with just one word!

On the one hand, this is to restrain others from competing with him in this aspect, and on the other hand, it is also to increase the market value as soon as possible.

Once the IPO is over, the 2.5 billion casino will be worth at least 4 to 5 billion.

It’s like doing nothing, and the money in your pocket has doubled!

These one billion shares will also be divided into two hundred shares with a face value of five million. This is also done to screen out small shareholders who are not strong enough.

No matter who you are, as long as you can raise 5 million or 10 million, you can buy a stock, with or without rights.

In short, the news about this auction quickly spread around the world. The transaction amount of an auction was 5.7 billion, setting a new record for the highest transaction price in the world's auctions.

This also makes people see the madness of capital!

Many small countries don't have 5.7 billion from their treasury, but in Slem, this is just the ticket fee for capitalists to join a game.

Some people regret not joining in.

There are also some people watching the excitement. They want to know how long it will take these people to earn back 5.7 billion!

ten years?

Or a hundred years?

Lynch helped Catherine solve the wage problem, found her a large amount of money, and then returned to the Federation to attend the high-level meeting of the United Development Company.

The meeting was held in Bupen, where many shareholders live, and since this is the "core of the world", it seemed to be a natural thing to hold it here!

As the Federation's status in the international community is getting higher and higher, it has gained a huge advantage in the war with Pengeo.

There is a saying circulating around the world right now -

"The Federation is the center of the world!"

If the Federation is really the center of the world, then Bupen is the core of the world!

This statement pleased the federal people and people living in Bupain very well. The villas in the mid-level villa area owned by Lynch have increased by almost 20% in a few months!

This is a rare huge increase this year!

Nowadays, it is even more difficult to buy at a premium price, and Lynch has become the owner with the most villas.

On Tuesday afternoon, in the conference room on the 18th floor of the newly built 20-story building, the board of directors and major shareholders of United Development Company gathered together.

Small shareholders participate by telephone. They can only listen but cannot speak.

On the one hand, this meeting is not a shareholders' meeting, and there is no need for them to participate.

Secondly, when the meeting reaches the second half, even the conference call will be cut off.

Lynch arrived earlier and chatted with others about what he had been doing in Slem recently.

In fact, the United Development Company was also very interested, but Lynch told them that they did not necessarily need tickets to participate in the game, and they might not be able to come up with the huge expenditure, so they basically made bids with other people to participate.

The market value of United Development Corporation is indeed high, and the shareholders are also worth a lot, but most of the worth is in the "valuation", not how much money they have.

They can't spend hundreds of millions to auction, nor can they spend hundreds of millions to develop, so the best thing is to participate with others.

The shareholders around Lynch invested five million in Lynch's casino. He purchased a stock without equity. Five million is already a large expense for him. Not everyone can agree with him. Lynch has so much money.

When he asked Lynch how long it would take to get his money back, Lynch gave him a number that he couldn't believe.

“It can be repaid within three years at most after completion.”

"In fact, when I was making plans, the total annual bets should exceed 100 billion."

“Our revenue from handling fees alone will exceed one billion.”

"Although your shares are relatively small, getting your capital back in three years is not a big problem."

With a dividend right of two thousandths, if there are only 100 billion bets every year, then the income from handling fees will be 2 million.

After excluding taxes, there are about 700,000 to 800,000 yuan.

In three years, the dividends from handling fees alone will be almost three million. If additional income is included, it will be four million even if the capital cannot be recovered.

This answer aroused some interest from the shareholder. He still had some money in his hand, so he might be able to buy another one.

As for shareholder rights, he doesn't really care. He has many companies. If every company has to devote all his energy, he doesn't have that much time at all!

Moreover, he believed in Lynch's ability and character. So far, he had never heard of Lynch harming his partners.

His integrity is definitely one of the best in the Federation.

When other shareholders heard this, they were more or less moved. With almost a million in pure dividends every year, this business is much more stable than financial investment!
