Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"Mr. Zhao, please sit down!"

Zhang Peng is a very outgoing person. When he saw Zhao Wenhao, a smile immediately appeared on his face and he pulled him to sit down.

Zhao Wenhao chuckled and didn't care, and sat down next to him.

After all, apart from Zhou Xiaoyu, with whom he had a grudge, he didn't know anyone else at the auction. Now that Zhang Peng was here, he could also have some conversation.

"Mr. Zhao, are you here on business or for pleasure? If it's for pleasure, I'm familiar with both Hong Kong Island and Macau Island. If you don't mind, I can be your tour guide!"

Zhang Peng seemed very enthusiastic, but Zhao Wenhao didn't know why he was so enthusiastic.

Is it just because he knows Song Weixuan? I'm afraid it's not that simple. Zhao Wenhao pondered in his heart.

But on the surface, he still replied politely: "I came here for something, and I heard about this auction, so I came to see it."

As for letting Zhang Peng be the tour guide, the two of them were not familiar enough with each other, so it was naturally impossible.

So, Zhao Wenhao just responded politely.

"Oh? I wonder if Mr. Zhao has anything else he likes?" Zhang Peng asked casually.

How could Zhao Wenhao tell him that he came just for the necklace when they met for the first time?

Therefore, he said directly: "Just take a look and we'll talk about it when the time comes."

Seeing this, Zhang Peng quickly introduced some of the items on sale to Zhao Wenhao, such as famous paintings, watches, and porcelain.

Unfortunately, Zhao Wenhao was not interested and just responded twice.

After some small talk, Zhang Peng suddenly said, "Mr. Zhao, when will your company launch its secondary financing? Is there still a chance for our Kunpeng Group to participate?"

Zhao Wenhao suddenly realized that this was the ultimate goal.

He was still wondering why Zhang Peng was so enthusiastic when they met for the first time?

Even if it's because of Song Weixuan, this can't be possible!

It turns out that everything is focused on Hengyuan Electronics' shares.

However, he wasn't too surprised by this. Everyone knew that Hengyuan Electronics planned to be listed on Hong Kong Island in the future. If he could acquire Hengyuan Electronics shares at this time, he would definitely make a lot of money after the listing.

Not only Kunpeng Group, but also Meifeng Group and Goldman Sachs Group hope that Hengyuan Electronics will start the second round of financing as soon as possible.

The most anxious one is Citibank.

Their offer in the first round of financing was too high, so Zhao Wenhao rejected it directly. As a result, Meifeng Group and Goldman Sachs Group each acquired 5% of the shares.

Therefore, Citibank is now eager to take the lead in the second round of financing.

Unfortunately, Zhao Wenhao didn't have such plans yet. He planned to start the second round of financing in the second half of 95 and go public in the first half of 96.

As for Kunpeng Group, Zhao Wenhao really didn't consider accepting them.

"There is no plan yet. Let's talk about this later." Zhao Wenhao looked at his watch, indicating that the auction was about to begin.

Zhang Peng was quite sensible. He also knew that if he wanted to acquire shares of Hengyuan Electronics, it would be impossible to do so through a casual chat.

He did this today just to make himself familiar to Zhao Wenhao so that he would have the opportunity to participate in the future.

Seeing that Zhao Wenhao no longer talked about this matter, he naturally chose to shut up.

At this time, the host has already come on stage.

"Dear guests, thank you for participating in this auction..."

The pre-auction speech finally ended, and the auction naturally began next.

"Let's look at the first lot: a plum vase made by the government during the Qianlong reign."

Soon, the etiquette lady brought over a plum vase. At the same time, images began to appear on the big screen.

Judging from the shape of the vase, the mouth of this plum vase is slightly tilted, the neck appears short, and the lower abdomen begins to converge inward all the way to the foot ring.

At the bottom is the signature: Made in the Qianlong Period of the Qing Dynasty.

The people sitting there began to talk and whisper to each other, and it was obvious that many of them had a strong interest in it.

If it is produced by an official kiln, especially one from the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, it must be a top-quality product.

Even Zhao Wenhao, who knew nothing about antiques, was thinking that if the price wasn't high, he might as well try to show off his taste.

Even if you are not very interested in it, such antiques will definitely be worth giving away as gifts in the future.

A few minutes later, when the chatter finally stopped, the host said, "The starting price is 50 Hong Kong dollars, and each increment must be no less than Hong Kong dollars."

Zhao Wenhao curled his lips, thinking that the price was too high.

Although he didn't know much about antiques, he still knew some of the general situation.

In China, such official kiln porcelain from the third period of the Qing Dynasty generally costs less than 10 yuan. But here, the starting price is directly 50 yuan.

"55, guest number 37 bids 55!"

"58, guest number 52 bids 58!"

"60, guest number 102 bids 60! Is there a higher bidder?"

The host's voice rose and fell, and he pointed at the bidder not far away.

Zhao Wenhao casually raised the license plate in his hand and raised the price by 2.

"Number 72, bid 62!"

As the host finished announcing the price, Zhou Xiaoyu sneered and decisively raised the number plate in his hand: "65!"

"65. Number 85 bid 65. Is there a higher bid?"

The host's voice sounded at the right time, pointing at Zhou Xiaoyu who was holding up the number sign.

Zhao Wenhao rolled his eyes and cursed in his heart: "Idiot!"

He had just been testing the waters to see if Zhou Xiaoyu would cause trouble if he held up his sign. And sure enough, that was exactly what happened.

Since that was the case, Zhao Wenhao decided to tease this idiot. Otherwise, when the item he really wanted appeared, there would be trouble.

So, as soon as the host finished speaking, Zhao Wenhao raised his number plate again: "75!"

The price suddenly increased by HK$10, and this was only the first item to be auctioned.

This momentum will directly suppress most people.

After mentioning the price, Zhao Wenhao deliberately looked at Zhou Xiaoyu with disdain.

The meaning is very clear, come on, let’s see who has more money!

"75, Mr. No. 72 bids 75!" The host's voice became louder.

Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't stand this kind of anger. Before the host finished speaking, he raised his sign again: "80!"

After saying that, he also looked at Zhao Wenhao provocatively.

Zhao Wenhao was not willing to be outdone and raised his sign again: "85!"

Without waiting for Zhao Wenhao to put down his number plate, Zhou Xiaoyu raised his sign directly: "90!"

At this point, others had already given up on their bids.

The price of 90 has far exceeded the price of the plum vase itself, and it is not worth it to continue bidding.

Now only Zhao Wenhao and Zhou Xiaoyu are fighting with each other.

"95!" Zhao Wenhao was equally unwilling to be outdone.

"Wow……"

The other people exclaimed in surprise, and some even sneered, thinking that Zhao Wenhao and Zhou Xiaoyu were two fools.
