Chapter 40: The Bidding Group

Unlike the religious fanaticism of the Western world, the Eastern world is quiet at this time.

Chinese officials have issued several statements that are neither salty nor light, advising Western countries not to beggar-thy-neighbor. You can sit down and talk about anything—you haven't talked about it for more than a thousand years, but you can continue to talk about it.

As for the heirloom jade seal that the Oriental world is interested in, Hua Guo said that it is just a cultural relic. Wouldn't it be okay to let it go back to its original place in accordance with international practice?

Although Hua Guo said that he didn't care, his body still wanted it very much, after all, it was of great significance to pass on the jade seal of the country. Although we are now a new society, we do not promote feudal superstition. But if you can take it back in your own hands, you can also make a mark in the history books.

Huaguo believes that the matter of welcoming back the jade seal of the country is very stable, including all the people of Huaguo, and also thinks that this matter is stable. This heirloom jade seal was originally the stuff of our ancestors.

It wasn't until the H country in the north made a statement that Hua Guo frowned and found that things were not simple.

Country H claims that since ancient times, the north of the Yangtze River belongs to country H, and the jade seal of the country belongs to country H.

All of Huaguo was stunned by the shamelessness of country H, and said in their hearts, you even have to steal "since ancient times"! Before they could fight back, the island countries in the east followed up and issued a statement. But this statement is a bit more clever than that of country H.

The island nation said that as we all know, the island country was a vassal state of China in history. First, Emperor Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty gave the name of the country, and then Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty officially canonized Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as king. Therefore, in terms of legal system, the island country also has the right of inheritance of Chinese civilization.

The royal family of the Central Plains Dynasty has been cut off, but the Chrysanthemum Dynasty of the island country is still alive, so the island country also has the right to inherit the jade seal of the country.

In order to enhance the persuasiveness, the island country also pulled the Yue country to the south. Vietnam has made similar claims to the island nation.

China's diplomatic spokesman angrily rebuked and asked: Are you Chinese?

These three countries are all Chinese!

Therefore, once the orthodoxy loses the basis for inheritance, it is extremely easy to fall into this kind of chatter and quarrel. This is why the heirloom jade seal is so significant.

In the final analysis, Qin lost his deer, and the world chased him, that's the truth. It is true that Huaguo himself did not keep the jade seal, and he can't complain about others.

The Eastern and Western worlds, because of the appearance of two legendary treasures, fell into a certain degree of chaos at the same time. At this time, everyone reacted to what the auctioneer meant by "I don't know who to return it to".

It's really wrong to give it to anyone.

So in this way, auctioning these two treasures like child's play has become the most reliable way. According to the principle of the highest price, it should be the fairest and acceptable choice for all parties.

As a result, after a week of arguing and shouting, both Eastern and Western societies finally shut up, and the giant consortia controlled by various forces mobilized funds one after another. The target was the Queen of the Adriatic, which was docked in the center of the ocean at this time.

"Hi yes hi / West Lake scenery ~ March day ~ "

Dr. Yuan wore a One Piece straw hat and shorts, and sang loudly to the sea. If the West Lake is in front of you, not the South Pacific, and it's not November but March, it's even more appropriate.

Of course, he completely ignored this, and since returning from Kandahar, Dr. Yuan felt that he was a person who had truly seen the world, so he became more and more inflated. As long as his grandson brother is next to him, even if he is allowed to eat six thousand meals of, he will not frown.

Yu Xiaoyue is very unimpressed with Yuan Shaogang's flamboyant guy, she is wearing a white dress, wearing a soft hat with ruffles, and sitting next to Sun Xiang with a straight face and drinking soda.

"Lord Sun Xiang, why do you have to bring this kind of person, it's so annoying!"

"What did you say?"

The old god of Sun Da was lying on the recliner in the room.

Yu Xiaoyue rushed over, took off the earplugs from Sun Xiang's ears, and complained: "Why do we have to bring a little thug! This auction is very important, if we mess up, we will be embarrassed in front of the people of the whole country!"

Miss Yu was very loud, but unfortunately Dr. Yuan did not respond. He was hacked by sunspots every day during the live broadcast, and this level of insinuation was completely ignored.

Sun Xiang scratched his ears, thinking that the two of you were arguing more than the other, but he said: "Doctor Xiao Yuan is the doctor of this bidding delegation, which is still a little different from ordinary gangsters, and the person in charge of this auction is not you, why can't you take a good look at the sea view?"

"I'm the head of the bidding team, Sun Xiang, you tell him not to dangle in my sight all the time. ”

Sun Xiang thought to himself, then don't keep dangling in front of me, you really can't take a nap. He reluctantly got up from the recliner, thought about it, and shouted, "Xiao Yuan, Xiaoyue, come here and teach you swordsmanship." ”

The two guys suddenly stopped arguing and quickly moved a chair to sit down. They all knew that Master Sun Xiang must have a unique skill, and he had been clamoring to learn it for a long time, but Sun Xiang never agreed.

The name of kung fu is very famous all over the world, but even for the Chinese themselves, those kung fu masters who go to heaven and earth are only in the movies. Anyone wants to learn both.

"Then teach you two Tai Chi swords, practice them on weekdays, you can strengthen your body and prolong your life. Sun Xiang said, grabbing a broom from the deck railing—you can't expect to find a big sword on a destroyer.

"I want to learn swordsmanship that can be chivalrous and fight all over the world!" Yu Xiaoyue raised her hand to object.

Sun Xiang ignored Yu Xiaoyue's protest and gestured slowly to himself.

"Loose waist without crossing, tucked hips and open knees, first style, and step point sword ~~~"

"Shoulders and elbows, the second style, retreat and hang batches~~~"

Yu Xiaoyue and Yuan Shaogang were disappointed, isn't this what the old lady in the park compared. Sun Xiang danced the sword slowly, and the two of them looked drowsy.

"Everything should be learned from the basics, not too ambitious. Sun Xiang explained with a smile, and did not stop in his hand, "If you can practice these thirty-two Taiji swords, I will pass on some high-end goods to you." ”

"Alas, okay!" Yu Xiaoyue was more obedient and studied seriously, until she could see the Queen of the Adriatic Sea with the Cayman flag in her sight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Because of the particularity of the jade seal, a week ago, Huaguo officials decided to buy it back at all costs.

For the whole country, maybe the jade seal of the country is not so important, but it is very important to ensure that the jade seal is not obtained by the so-called "friends"!

Considering that this auction is a contest between countries, the final transaction price must be an astronomical amount, and the financial pressure may be huge. After thinking about it, the official changed his mind and decided to mobilize social forces and adopt the method of "group buying" to bring the jade seal home of the country. After all, this national treasure belongs to all the people.

The Chinese government took the lead in contributing 50 billion euros in the form of financial allocations. Patriotic enthusiasm from all walks of life was high, and they all contributed generously, and finally put together a pool of nearly 300 billion euros.

Moreover, several major commercial banks have jointly provided an interest-free loan of the same size. If the situation is critical, the loan can be used with the approval of the leadership.

As for how, it's another story.

As the richest man in China, Sun Yulan personally contributed the most, so she became the honorary head of the "bidding delegation" in China. Of course, due to Sun Yulan's advanced age and inconvenience, the position of head of the regiment was held by Yu Xiaoyue.

The civilian members of the delegation gathered in Marina City and flew directly to a supply base in the South Pacific on a military plane. The base provided a heavy destroyer to provide a façade for everyone to transport the delegation to the auction cruise ship. At the same time, more than a dozen military and political representatives joined the team at the supply port.

Of course, everyone knows that these military representatives are the ones who are really responsible for this auction. As a representative of the people, Miss Yu played the role of an image ambassador. Because, a cute girl will not look domineering.

The leading officer on the military side is a middle-aged man named Wei Kaicheng with the rank of colonel. Colonel Wei took a serious look at Sun Xiang, and then talked with Yu Xiaoyue for a while, and then returned to the command tower without further words.

The destroyer drove towards the target for a day and a night, and everyone was bored in the cabin, so they changed into seaside vacation outfits and ran to the deck to bask in the sun. During this period, there was a little episode, and Dr. Yuan wanted to broadcast the "XXX Type Destroyer Exploration" live, but was stopped by the sailors who arrived in time. The sailors confiscated his phone, and Sun Xiang was not willing to stand up for him.

After another morning of chaos, I could finally see the flag of the Adriatic Queen flying high in the distance.

The destroyer identified itself in the public channel and transferred 100 million euros in cash to a special trust account on the spot. The staff on the cruise ship received the transfer and signaled that they agreed to the connection.

This 100 million euros is the qualification ticket for the auction, otherwise everyone will come up, and the Queen will not be able to fit no matter how big it is. Of course, this is a third-party fund custody account, and the 100 million euros will be refunded after the auction.

Originally, everyone could board the cruise ship in a dinghy, but at this time, the calm South Pacific Ocean suddenly had wind and waves. Considering that most of the members of the bidding group were not very accustomed to the strong and turbulent wind and waves, Colonel Wei Kaicheng decided to call in the helicopters on the destroyer and send a dozen people to their destinations in batches.

As a luxury cruise ship, the Queen has a helipad at the stern. There is a sightseeing helicopter parked on weekdays. Having received the request of the destroyer, the crew folded the propellers of the helicopter and received them in the hangar on the lower deck with a landing pad.

Sun Xiang and Yu Xiaoyue, as well as Dr. Xiao Yuan, were the last to board the cruise ship. When they left the helipad, they found a grand carnival on the deck outside.

A rock band is performing on a stage on the deck, and the grumpy bass is deafening. The members of this band are all dressed as Kill Matt, with colorful exploding heads, and all over their bare skin covered in fancy tattoos. Sun Xiang glanced at the drummer in surprise.

Below are rows of cold tables piled high with high-calorie, high-fat delicacies. A man who looks like a chef, ignoring fire regulations, directly lights a huge bonfire on the deck. The helper next to him used a small crane to hang a whole head of processed camels on the campfire for roasting. The camel's grease dripped in the campfire, sizzling white smoke.

On top of that, it's a crowd of all sorts of people, most of whom seem to be either rich or expensive.

Come to think of it, this mysterious shipowner auctioned two legendary treasures, and the significance behind these two treasures is significant. Therefore, there are many teams like the Huaguo auction team - even if they don't have the strength to compete, it's very fun to see it up close.

Anyway, the 100 million euro admission ticket will be fully refunded afterwards, and it will be regarded as a free tour, and the food and accommodation on this ship are also free.

Yu Xiaoyue looked around with a soda, because there were too many people, Wei Kaicheng and them were drowned in the crowd, and there was no trace of them. Miss Yu is an organized and disciplined person, and she hurriedly pulled Sun Xiang around and shouted. I was afraid that the rest of the auction group would get lost and not find their way home. Then she, the head of the regiment, is a serious dereliction of duty.

Her voice did not greet the Huaguo auction group, which was nowhere to be seen, but attracted a bad guy.

A young Arab man with two beautiful maids in his arms blocked her way.

The young Arab looked extraordinary, with a black turban wrapped around his head, a white silk robe, and a gem-encrusted scimitar at his waist. The two beautiful women he was holding were obviously not Arabs, but they were dressed in traditional Arab costumes, with translucent veils on their faces and jewels on their bodies.

When the young man saw Yu Xiaoyue, he said enthusiastically: "¥%......*&*......%...... ¥#”

Of course, Yu Xiaoyue didn't understand his bird language, and at this time, behind the young man, a very short and dark-skinned translator came out, looking like a San.

Ah San raised his chin arrogantly, and declared to Sun Xiang and Yu Xiaoyue: "In front of you is the great Highness Hashem! ”

Yu Xiaoyue's eyes widened and she was stunned, thinking for a long time, before she remembered that there was indeed a shareholder named His Highness Hashem who visited her grandmother last year. At that time, she was pouring tea and playing with her mobile phone next to her, but she didn't pay too much attention to this crooked nut.

Of course, she is a good boy who knows how to be polite. Since others praise themselves for their beauty, they must thank you. Like a lady, she bowed to Hashem slightly: "Oh, I remember. Hello, Your Highness!"

Hashem nodded majestically and said, "¥%&%&*()&()*......%"

After saying this, Sun Xiang frowned, but Ah San didn't notice it. He continued: "His Highness Hashem said that Miss Yu's beauty made him feel that he had found the true meaning of life, and I wonder if Miss Yu would like to spend the night with His Highness. ”

Yu Xiaoyue — b
