Chapter 281: No Banquet at a Dinner Party
At a price of 1 billion less pieces, Li Qingming got this ginger potted plant.
Take a long breath! With this, this time the King of Chef Competition, Son Zhengyi will be stable.
There was applause all around.
This applause is not because of this price, which is nothing in terms of the specifications of today's auction. But Li Qingming was willing to spend so much money for a potted plant, and when he was deliberately inflated by someone, he said such a thing, completely reversing the momentum of the scene, so as not to make people feel that he was wronged.
This is worthy of applause.
As for Li Xianyao at this moment, I won't say what his face looks black into. In short, now he has lost face and his lining. It's not a taste in my heart.
"Master, what did you say a common saying? What is a mouthful of hair?" At this time, Qin Heqin suddenly asked in a crisp voice.
The silence after the applause was already unusually silent. You can hear almost a needle when it hits the ground. And Qin Heqin is the only child who has not reached an adult at the scene, and the child's voice has not changed his voice, and in this quiet scene, it naturally attracted everyone's attention.
"Apprentice, as the saying goes: stealing chickens does not make rice, and dogs bite dogs. But is your master a dog? Is he a chicken? To understand the meaning of these idioms, you should say: Lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot, and do it yourself!" Li Qingming said.
"Oh, yes, doesn't that mean that a certain vice chairman just picked up a potted plant and smashed his own foot?" Qin Heqin shouted in a long voice.
Li Qingming nodded.
"So, be a man, be kind!" Li Qingming commented.
The master and apprentice sang and harmonized like this, and the angry Li Xianyao's nose was crooked. But I can't have a seizure.
As for the people around, they laughed. These few sentences are particularly interesting and vivid.
After a burst of laughter, the auction continued.
After that, it went very well. The whole auction scene was carried out quietly. Of course, the calm means that there is no such malicious price hike on the scene, and everyone is competing according to their abilities. Although the price has also hit new highs, for example, Qin Heluo spent 15.8 billion yuan to win the right to use a special drug.
Yes, it's just a drug that allows people to stay awake in the wilderness. It is not a pharmaceutical formulation. This recipe is not unsellable. But the price is by no means something that can be bought for tens of billions. Nowadays, human beings are pioneering and eager to develop in the wilderness. And this kind of medicine, that is, naturally, in short supply.
So, just the right to use the drug, that's the price. As for the right to use, if you want to buy medicine, you have to spend another money. As for the high price, that's another story.
But that's the reality of the Federation today. For any consortium that wants to move up the rankings, pioneering is a must.
After purchasing the right to use this medicine, Qin Heluo did not make another move. Eventually, around midnight, the auction finally ended.
"Congratulations to all the VIPs who have bid on their favorite items, please follow the on-site staff to the special dinner site!" the beautiful host announced, and this time the auction ended.
Li Qingming and the three of them, naturally, followed the staff together, walked through several aisles together, and came to a relatively simple venue. At this moment, the venue is not the kind of round table dinner, just some exquisite pastries are placed around, which is very simple.
But for all those who are qualified to come in, the eyes are bright. The simpler the banquet was this evening, the more it meant that the theme of the evening was not about eating. That's what they want.
At this moment, Lee Hsien Yew also came. This time, though, he came alone. At the auction just now, he only auctioned a diamond necklace. Seeing Li Qingming and them, Li Xianyao just snorted coldly and ignored it, but stood on the other side of the crowd.
Li Qingming and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
It didn't take long for the host of today's dinner to arrive.
"We welcome all the bidding guests. Thank you for your generosity. As for this dinner, I'm sure you've all guessed that today's theme is not a banquet, but an auction on another level!" said the host of the dinner calmly.
There was no cheering around, but everyone's eyes brightened.
"Who is he?" asked Li Qingming in a low voice.
"Louis Arthur, the thirteenth-ranked chairman of the Arthur Consortium!" Qin Heluo whispered.
The Arthur Consortium, which ranked thirteenth, Li Qingming thought silently, according to Qin Heluo's introduction, this has at least twenty or thirty square kilometers of wilderness occupation. This, the chairman is here in person, so what will happen?
"This auction, it's just one. Our top ten consortiums will start the largest pioneering operation in history in half a year. For the sake of human development, and in this operation, to expand a larger wilderness area, we welcome aspiring foundations to join our action. Of course, because the technology and capital required for the development were extremely large, and in order to ensure the safety of the entourage. Therefore, only 30 consortia will be recruited to create a grand event. Therefore, we will use a tender method, for these 30 places, for auction!" said Louis-Arthur Langsheng.
Boom! At this moment, the crowd exploded.
No one thought that these ten major consortia were actually ready to jointly pioneer. This scale must be unprecedented. In the past, the major consortia pioneered alone, after all, one more person, one less profit. And anything can be found in the wilderness.
For example, some of the lost technologies that have been passed down from ancient times. You know, according to legend, there were big people who brought at least hundreds of millions of people on the planet into outer space. And at present, the entire federation can't even leave the planet, let alone go to outer space. The technology gap is too big.
Secondly, there are many wild beasts, and the wild beasts that can survive in the wilderness have all produced genetic mutations. Their flesh is extremely powerful, and these wild beasts, if they capture one and use it for scientific research, may be able to invent medicines that improve human physical fitness. This will help humanity survive in the wilderness.
There are also some plants that can survive in the wilderness, all of which have their own peculiarities. Even the trees of the wilderness have a certain value. In short, pioneering, for any consortium, is full of temptation.
It's just that many consortia don't have the ability to pioneer. Now, this opportunity has fallen from the sky, how not to be excited. Even those who already have the ability to pioneer, such as the 201-300 consortium, although they have the ability to pioneer, but it is very difficult, and not always have the possibility of success. In some cases, it may even be wiped out.
It is undoubtedly safer to follow the ten major consortiums to pioneer.
