Chapter 1049 Don’t Dig Out the Money that Should Be Spent, and Don’t Forget the Accounts that Should Be Settled

In fact, at a charity dinner, he made such a speech about the general trend of economic development. It was obvious at first glance that it was deliberate.

Therefore, Gray's careful thinking could not be fooled by the old guys who had served in business and government for two years, nor could it fool Wu Tao, an experienced veteran who was used to seeing big scenes.

At that moment, he walked up to the stage, took the microphone from Gray, and said in a relaxed and cheerful tone: "Before the charity auction was about to start, Mr. Davis called me up, probably because he wanted me to give everyone Let’s cheer up and help support today’s charity auction.”

This remark not only downplayed his suspicion of being a supporter of Davis, but also connected this impromptu speech with today's charity auction.

After a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience, they immediately became curious about the content of Wu Tao's upcoming speech.

Wu Tao then changed the subject, "Fortunately, I am here to encourage everyone and give everyone confidence. Because the global economy will soon usher in a new round of rapid growth due to the maturity of the Chinese market... "

The five-minute speech was short and concise, but it caused quite a stir at the scene.

Until the auctioneer stepped onto the podium to preside over the charity auction, the discussion below was still unfinished.

Seeing her boss coming back, Liu Ruoxi quickly put her arm around Wu Tao's arm like a protector.

The speech just now was so eloquent and free. It shook off a lot of useful information and inspired people at the same time.

Especially on such an international occasion.

Such performance made Liu Ruoxi feel proud. Especially when she discovered that the eyes and reactions of many elegant ladies in the audience were similar to hers, she felt even more responsible as the boss's female companion.

Wu Tao drank a full glass of lemonade in one breath to moisten his throat, and then he noticed that Liu Ruoxi next to him was hugging her a little tight.

So much so that the elbow is always touched with that touch of softness, which makes people's hearts itch.

Soon, a tall woman walked over quickly. Her figure was almost comparable to that of a professional bodybuilder.

This woman is none other than Reiss, who has had two interviews with Wu Tao and is currently the deputy editor of Barron’s.

"The speech just now was very exciting, Mr. Wu." Ruisi raised her glass and touched Wu Tao gently.

Wu Tao smiled and said, "Thank you, but the content just now is nothing new to Miss Reese."

Ruisi nodded slightly after hearing this, "Even so, it is very beneficial to be able to listen to Mr. Wu's speech again."

"Humph!" At this moment, a soft hum came from the side.

Everyone followed the sound and heard someone walking over and saying, "Wu, I have no objection to you being bullish on the Chinese market. But if you think that because of the prosperity of the market, you can develop technology, especially the development of chip semiconductors." high-end technology, then you are totally wrong.”

Reese couldn't help but feel faintly excited. It turned out to be Motorola President Christopher!

The debate between him and Hua Xia Wu will definitely be exciting.

After all, he is also a member of the Tsinghua SEM Advisory Committee and a competitor in the mobile phone industry, so Wu Tao is no stranger to Christoph in front of him, and he also knows the development history of Motorola well.

"Christopher, first of all, I thank you for the reminder. Secondly, I want to express my regret that Motorola defeated Maicheng in the field of microprocessors."

"...But if you draw conclusions about the development of the entire Chinese semiconductor industry because of this, I would not agree with you."

"...I don't even need to say the reason. An obvious fact is before us all. That is the mobile phone industry! Lotus mobile phones have continued to grow every year since their inception; on the contrary, Motorola mobile phones have become How many consecutive quarters of losses have you had, Kristoff?”

Originally they were talking about the chip business, but now they were forced to talk about the mobile phone, and Kristoff couldn't argue.

Who makes Motorola's current shipments completely dwarfed by Lotus Phone X?

So Christoph blushed and said, "We are talking about the semiconductor chip industry, OK?"

Wu Taoyun raised his eyebrows calmly, "OK! I don't need to worry about how I do it. Maybe one day, Motorola's mobile phones must use the baseband chip independently developed by China. If Motorola's mobile phone business, If you can survive until that day..."

"Then we'll see!"

Kristoff turned and left, looking like a loser in the eyes of Reese, a shrewd onlooker.

However, Reese did not say much on this topic, but asked instead: "Wu, I noticed before that you and Gray are very close, so do you think he can be re-elected as governor?"

"Probably." Wu Tao said in an ambiguous tone.

Reese disagreed somewhat, "As far as I know, his competitors are quite well prepared."

Wu Tao waved his hand, "I'm not interested in politics, but we can wait and see."

While a few people were chatting at the stall, all the relevant matters for the auction were quickly prepared.

Wu Tao took Liu Ruoxi, Zuo Bierisi, to Wu Yingying in the front row.

Seeing this, Wu Yingying handed the No. 8 plate in her hand to Wu Tao and said: "Boss, if you like the auction items you are interested in, just bid."

Wu Tao waved his hand, showing no interest.

It wasn't until the third exhibit was a crystal clear jade necklace that his eyes lit up and he took the brand from Wu Yingying's hand.

"This is made from a top-quality emerald rough..." the auctioneer began to introduce the exhibits in a seductive tone, attracting the women in the audience to watch.

Sure enough, women are naturally interested in things like gold, jade, and gems.

"Okay, let's start bidding now. The starting price is 100,000 US dollars, and each increase will be 10,000 US dollars!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Wu Tao simply raised the number plate.

"Okay, No. 8, 100,000!"

However, US$100,000 is quite cheap in this situation, so before Wu Tao’s number plate came down, many buyers rushed to raise their number plates.

In the blink of an eye, the price list soared to 300,000 US dollars.

When Wu Tao saw this trend, when should he grab it? Simply put the number plate in one fell swoop, "1 million!"

The scene suddenly became quiet.

As soon as the others saw that Wu Tao was spending so much money, they immediately stopped taking action. What's more, paying 1 million US dollars to get such an jade necklace is really outrageous.

Just when Wu Tao thought the auction was settled, a lazy voice came from the side, "1.1 million!"

Before Wu Tao could look over, Wu Yingying's voice came: "It's Howard and Figo."

"5000000!"

The guests in the venue gasped.

Howard, who had originally made up his mind to have trouble with Wu Tao, suddenly lost his energy and never dared to raise his license plate again.

In the end, the jade necklace fell into the hands of Wu Tao with a bidding price of US$5 million.

For a moment, the eyes of all the women in the room were focused on Wu Tao.

Rational men may feel that Wu Tao has been taken advantage of.

But from the perspective of women, they don’t think this necklace is expensive. On the contrary, they even felt that this jade necklace became more attractive because of the transaction price of 5 million!

Liu Ruoxi came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and whispered: "Boss, we seem to be at a bit of a loss. It's all No. 17's fault!"

Wu Taohun said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, even if it's free, we still have to donate so much. As for the 17th, humph, I'll make them pay for it later..."
