: 0.101s Scan: 0.105sAfter hearing the tit-for-tat offer from Vanelk, the helmsman of Goldman Sachs, Rockefeller Jr.’s face turned very bad.
Since Goldman Sachs began to emerge five years ago, they began to seem a little powerless when facing this rising star!
Under the leadership of Vanelk, Goldman Sachs, with its excellent investment vision, spent huge sums of money to bring in a large number of companies with great potential. These transactions caused people’s ridicule at the time. The market generally did not look favorably on Goldman Sachs’s large expansion behavior, believing that they would sooner or later explode themselves because of their rapid expansion!
As a result, five years later, none of the predictions of the time were realized. Instead, Goldman Sachs became bigger and stronger step by step, becoming one of the top chaebols in the United States. Their strength even surpassed the Rockefeller family, which started earlier!
If it weren’t for the fact that Goldman Sachs brought too much competitive pressure to the Rockefeller family, Rockefeller Jr. would not have shown up and publicized Rockefeller’s strength so high-profilely!
Because, if he doesn’t promote it anymore, people will probably gradually forget the existence of the Rockefeller family and only know the name of the giant Goldman Sachs Group!
This is a disaster for them!
So, when he saw the people from Goldman Sachs competing with him for the airship, Rockefeller Jr. knew that there must be countless eyes staring at him in secret, staring at this direct contest between the Rockefeller family and the Goldman Sachs consortium. He must not give in at this critical juncture!
If they fail in the bidding for this airship this time, then the Rockefeller family will lose not only this airship, but also their reputation as the first chaebol in the United States.
Therefore, they must not lose. No matter how much it costs, they must defeat Goldman Sachs and take down this airship!
With such a belief in victory, Rockefeller Jr. had to continue to increase the bid in the face of Goldman Sachs’s bid!
“6 million US dollars!”
Vanelke immediately laughed after hearing what Rockefeller Jr. said. He glanced at Rockefeller Jr. and saw the determination in his eyes.
Very good, this is the effect he wanted.
A large part of the money earned by Goldman Sachs Group will be transferred back to Hans to help Hans develop.
Instead of using various complicated methods to secretly transfer money from Ruishi, it is better to directly purchase Hans’ products, so that the asset transfer can be legitimate.
Therefore, compared with Rockefeller Jr., Vanelke has no psychological pressure at all, and he even hopes to send more money.
So, after hearing Rockefeller Jr.’s offer, Vanelke did not hesitate for half a second and directly gave a new, shocking offer!
“10 million US dollars!”
Wow!
As soon as this offer came out, it immediately caused an uproar. The people around were all shocked. You looked at me, I looked at you, and many people were secretly pinching their thighs, as if they were dreaming and couldn’t believe it was true!
Not to mention them, even Rockefeller Jr. was confused!
Crazy, this guy must be crazy!
10 million US dollars!
This is 10 million US dollars, and this guy didn’t even frown, and just threw out 10 million US dollars!
Does he know what he is doing?
Rockefeller Jr. subconsciously looked at Vanelk, trying to find a clue from the other’s expression.
He hoped very much that this guy was strong and calm, and reluctantly took out such a huge sum of money to swell up his face!
But to his disappointment, after making this offer, Vanelk’s expression was relaxed, as if he was not spending money, but paper!
His nonchalant attitude made everyone feel numb!
Too terrible!
It’s really terrible!
It turns out that in the eyes of the Goldman Sachs consortium, spending money is so casual.
In order to buy an airship, he actually spent a lot of money without even frowning!
Many people were shocked when they saw this, and they also had a new understanding of the strength of Goldman Sachs!
Perhaps, they should officially admit that the strength of Goldman Sachs has surpassed the Rockefeller family and become the number one chaebol in the United States!
This idea has affected the future plans of many companies and chaebols. In the past, they may have to rely on the Rockefeller chaebol for development, but now they have another stronger thigh to hug.
Therefore, many powerful people have begun to change their minds and try to get closer to Goldman Sachs, wanting to rely on Goldman Sachs to achieve their own development!
Vanelk watched the reactions of the crowd calmly.
This is the result he wants. As long as he concentrates all these people in Goldman Sachs ’s command, then their influence in the United States will inevitably increase further in the future. Moreover, they will not achieve this huge influence in the form of monopoly, but in the capacity of president and leader of business associations and alliances! In this way, even if the government is afraid that they are too powerful, it will not be able to find an excuse to take action against them!
Little Rockefeller didn’t know what Vanelk was thinking, but he realized that everyone was impressed by the strong financial strength of the Goldman Sachs Group at this time, and they all stood on the side of Goldman Sachs involuntarily!
If he didn’t want the Rockefeller chaebol that his fathers had worked so hard to build to fall apart, then he had to come up with a strong response at this time!
So, Little Rockefeller gritted his teeth and targeted Vanelk’s���Price responded!
“15 million US dollars!”
Compared to his previous style of only adding 1 million US dollars at a time, this time he added 5 million US dollars in one go. This is his greatest effort!
He hopes that his one-time increase of 5 million US dollars in the offer can scare off Goldman Sachs, so that he can win this silent war!
At this time, everyone on the scene has understood that the competition between the two sides is not for this airship at all, but for the dominance of the domestic business leadership position in the United States!
And who can laugh last basically determines who can control the domestic business world in the United States!
Paying 15 million US dollars for this kind of leadership position is a lot, but the price is not expensive, it is completely worth it!
After understanding this, people suddenly became interested and all cast their eyes on Vanelke, the president of Goldman Sachs Group opposite.
Everyone is very curious about how Goldman Sachs will respond. Faced with the high price of 15 million US dollars, will they continue to follow up or give in?
“20 million US dollars!”
Vanelke said without hesitation, adding 5 million US dollars to Rockefeller Jr.’s offer!
Obviously, his move showed his attitude. Goldman Sachs would never give up!
Vanelke’s follow-up put all the pressure back on Rockefeller Jr. The onlookers were all interested in this sky-high price. They all wanted to witness the final outcome of this bidding!
Perhaps, after this bidding, the battle for the first chaebol in the United States will come to an end!
The cold sweat on Rockefeller Jr.’s forehead was already pouring out!
20 million US dollars!
This price was too high. Reason told him that he should not continue to bid lower, because if he continued to bid lower, Goldman Sachs might continue to raise the price.
Then he would not be able to win the competition!
However, Rockefeller Jr. could not swallow this breath!
He had to compete with Goldman Sachs!
So, he made one last attempt and reported a number that made him feel terrified:”50 million US dollars!”
Wow!
The onlookers were in an uproar. After hearing this number, almost everyone began to doubt their ears!
“Did I hear that correctly? $5 million for an airship?”
“I must be dreaming, there is no way anyone would pay such a high price for an airship!”
“Crazy, crazy, these two points are crazy. Even if it is just to compete for the title of first place, there is no need to spend so much money!”
“No, they are both young people, and they may have been kidnapped by their face. They dare not let go easily, otherwise they will become a laughing stock!”
There are still some wise people in the crowd. His words directly pointed out the fundamental reason why the two men were in a dilemma: no one can afford to lose this person, not only themselves, but also the forces they represent behind them: the Rockefeller Foundation and the Goldman Sachs Foundation!
Whoever retreats first means that he has admitted defeat!
It seems that neither of them will admit defeat!
Vanelke smiled. He really didn’t expect that Rockefeller Jr. would be so crazy and actually quoted a sky-high price of 50 million US dollars!
However, the other party raised the price so high, which helped him a lot!
If he quoted an extremely high price at the beginning, it would seem too deliberate and suspected of hype and money laundering.
However, after a competition with Rockefeller Jr., he quoted a high price again, and everyone would think it was natural. Not only would they not doubt his price and hype, they would even recognize the financial strength of Goldman Sachs and help Goldman Sachs do the best publicity!
Thinking of this, Vanelke smiled:”As expected of the heir to the Rockefeller family, Mr. Rockefeller Jr.’s generosity is really amazing!”
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers were suddenly disappointed, because they heard that Vanelk seemed to be ready to give up.
This is normal. After all, this is 50 million US dollars. If the price continues to increase, it will definitely be higher than this. It doesn’t feel cost-effective to spend such a large sum of money to fight for face!
Rockefeller Jr. also thought so in his heart, so he breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to say a few sarcastic words, he heard Vanelk continue:”But we will not give up!”
