Chapter 487 - Win the bid

Liang Shaohun proficiently started auctioning when Mo Yichen was still feeling surprised.

“The first collection is a Chinese bronze cauldron, cast by the royal craftsmen three thousand years ago…”

All kinds of knowledge came out slowly from his mouth, and he looked completely different from usual.

In usual, Liang Shaohun was a frivolous childe born in the purple. But now he looked more like a literate intellectual, especially with the stage lighting.

“If he chats up girls now, it must be easier.” Mo Yichen muttered.

“Huh?” Gu Yan was staring at the stage when she heard Mo Yichen whispering, and then she responded, confused.

“Nothing, just keep watching.”

Mo Yichen shook his head and said to Gu Yan. Everything under the stage would not affect the progress on the stage. The auction went fast, but there were many collections.

After about two and a half hours, the auction was near the end.

“So, our auction is near the end.” Liang Shaohun slowly put down the gavel in his hand because his hands were a little numb after pounding it for so long.

“Then prepare for the last auction item,” Liang Shaohun motioned.

While the staffs went to get the last auction item, Liang Shaohun said loudly.

“I believe all of you have known what the last item is. Right, it is a bidding contract of our company.”

As soon as Liang Shaohun said these words, all under the stage began to discuss at once, as noisy as buzzing.

Mo Yichen and Gu Yan looked at each other, and both saw the solemnity and firmness in their eyes. That’s it.

“Finally, Yichen.” Gu Yan said, looking at Mo Yichen worriedly. Mo Yichen just patted Gu Yan’s hand silently. But the slightly heavier strength that he put on Gu Yan’s hand still revealed his nervousness.

Was Liang Shaohun really reliable?

Mo Yichen and Gu Yan were waiting anxiously, while Liang Shaohun was not anxious at all. He waited with a smile for the audience to quieten down, and then began to speak.

“I know that many of you are here for this bidding contract, and I believe that everyone knows how to win the contract. First, qualification; and second, outcomes.”

Seeing the audience being silent, as if they were looking forward to his explanation, Liang Shaohun nodded in satisfaction and continued.

“For the qualification, it is that you need to meet the requirements of our company in terms of various indicators, especially the obligatory ones, such as the company’s capabilities, industry reputation, and total assets. Of course, these will be reviewed by me and several reviewers.”

“For the second… That’s very simple. It’s as the same as the auction amount. Whoever has a good plan and can produce better outcomes will win the bid.”

These words naturally caused a great hubbub.

“So, who will judge whether the outcomes are the best or not?” One person directly stood up and asked.

Liang Shaohun said gently.

“Me.”

His word directly caused a louder uproar, and the whole venue was noisy.

“What!”

“It must be a black case work!”

But Liang Shaohun interrupted them strongly and said.

“Attention please. The reason why this bidding is placed at the end of this auction is to screen out the best partner.”

Seeing their eyes, Liang Shaohun continued to explain.

“This design will affect the development of our company in the next few years, so it is extremely important. We will strictly review the bidders and ensure that the outcomes will be the best, but there is no standard for this.”

Liang Shaohun looked at the puzzled audience, feeling helpless, and continued.

“That is to say, we will choose the one that we think is the best to win the bid. After all, we can’t choose the one that you think is the best.”

He added at the end.

“Of course, we will announce some non-critical data to everyone after determining the winner, so that you can know clearly whether your outcomes are the best or not and why.”

Then, before anyone could respond, Liang Shaohun directly signaled the staff who then carried up a piece of paper document placed in a glass cabinet.

“This is the contract. You can sign your name on it as long as you win the bid.”

Hearing these words, the audience immediately became excited.

In fact, many people in this venue were here for this contract. They were willing to pay anything as long as they could cooperate with the company of Liang Shaohun’s father.

“Yichen…” Looking at the glass cabinet in front of her, Gu Yan said to Mo Yichen.

“The qualification documents and design drawings have been sent, and the rest is up to the reviewers.” Mo Yichen responded. Those documents and drawings had already been submitted before the auction.

It would only need a short period of time to determine the winner.

After all, it would take a long time to review the documents and drawings if they were not sent to the reviewers several days ago.

Liang Shaohun on the stage motioned the staff to bring up a silver-white suitcase and then took it.

He entered the password proficiently, and, with a light click, the suitcase was opened.

There were three documents inside. Liang Shaohun turned the suitcase around and said to the audience.

“These are the three documents we chose after the review, and each of them represents a bidder.”

“The one on the left is ours.” After seeing the suitcase on the big screen, Mo Yichen said to Gu Yan. He could see the small words printed on the document at a glance.

“Now, I will conduct the final review and determine who will be the winner!” Liang Shaohun said.

Ignoring the discussions below, Liang Shaohun began the final review.

As time passed by, everyone under the stage looked nervously at Liang Shaohun, who was flicking through the documents, without being affected by the audience.

Eventually, Liang Shaohun raised his head and announced.

“Congratulations, the final winner is…”

He held up the documents high in the air.

“XX studio!”

“It’s our studio!”

Gu Yan said in surprise, and embraced Mo Yichen tightly with excitement.

Mo Yichen blinked at Liang Shaohun, who felt it and raised his eyebrows lightly.

It was a kind of response.

Seeing the scene, Liang Shaohun thought of his father’s demands before the auction.

“Shaohun, I’m so happy that you are willing to help. But I know you have other purposes.”

Seeing his father’s eyes, Liang Shaohun laughed embarrassingly, feeling that his charade had been discovered.

“However, I think you have grown up, so I believe in your decision this time. But I have a few requirements for the review.”

Liang Shaohun listened carefully to the several requirements which he then followed when reviewing the documents. Liang Shaohun was at Mo Yichen’s request to pull the strings to help Gu Yan win the bid.
