The door to the meeting room opened, and a middle-aged gentleman walked in, wearing gold-rimmed glasses with a distinguished and scholarly demeanor.
After surveying the room, he announced in a loud voice, "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, today's bidding will be starting shortly. Please remain quiet and listen to me explain the rules."
The venue gradually quieted down, aside from various whispers.
The middle-aged man continued, "The bidding here will be in the form of an on-site tender, with each investor evaluating according to their bid, stock market value, and return on investment. Ultimately, a company willing to collaborate will be chosen to sign an agreement..."
Upon hearing his words, most people's expressions grew solemn.
Clearly, these people all understood the difficulty of the bidding and knew the chances of emerging victorious were extremely low.
