Chapter 40: The Seeds of Resentment
Donald's sudden intervention silenced the entire auction for a moment, and the eyes of those who knew even the slightest bit about it went back and forth between him and the mining tycoon.
There was no one who continued to bid for the price, and even the capitalist was now just spread out in his chair with a gloomy face.
"We want this company from the Taros family!"
This sentence came out of Donald's mouth, and it seemed like the content of an auction declaration, but the hidden meaning in it was not so simple to ponder.
Everyone knows what is standing behind the eldest young master, he said that the Talos family wants that mining company, everyone knows that it is likely to be a pretext he came up with to intimidate others, but sometimes he is not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
If the Talos family in the imperial capital really wanted to buy this mining company, who would dare to say a word?
I'm afraid even Count Tulip will have to pinch his nose and admit it.
Of course, this kind of behavior of overwhelming people with power is somewhat unsophisticated.
But who is Sewvet Talos, this guy has never been a particular person, what does he fancy not be a clever take?
What's more, Donald's offer is 1,000 gold pounds more expensive than the original price, which is already a reasonable price, at least much higher than the price of 3,000 gold pounds that you know is "slaughtering pigs" at first hearing.
It is precisely by grasping the above two points that Donald will directly shout the bid at the auction, as a descendant of the earl family, he will not take this opportunity to be arrogant, what do you want this head to do?
"Are you deaf?"
When everyone was stunned, Donald looked at the auctioneer, squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice,
"I've already made a bid, and since no one is bidding with me, why don't you drop the hammer!"
"4,000 gold pounds for the first time!"
"4,000 gold pounds for the second time!"
"4,000 gold pounds for the third time!"
"Deal!"
The auctioneer didn't dare to press the time at all under Donald's urging, and shouted three times in a row and dropped the hammer directly.
Steve Minerals is taken by Donald!
After this big deal, the whole auction was shrouded in a somewhat strange atmosphere, but fortunately, the next few lots did not go wrong, so it was a successful conclusion.
But there are still people who can't swallow that breath.
Not surprisingly, the capitalist, whose plan had been completely destroyed, hurried to Donald after the auction was over, and the mining company he had been planning for a long time was cut off in this way by the mayor of Reynas, who had nothing to do with the mining industry, and he wanted to find a way to recover it anyway.
"Mr. Taros, I don't understand why you are photographing that poorly run mining company...... If you have any problems with the agreement between us, you can come to me in advance, and in your capacity, I think we can negotiate whatever the request is, and there is no need to show our attitude in this way. ”
Although he had the intention of questioning, a businessman is a businessman, even if he was angry, he still quickly adjusted his state after leaving the auction, and now not only can he not hear a single complaint in and out of his words, but also gives Donald enough face.
He had so far thought that Donald was dissatisfied with his previous agreement to do something that seemed to be venting his anger.
"This company is important to the Talos family, and it is imperative!"
Donald pursed his lips and said bluntly.
"You...... May I venture to ask why?"
The mining tycoon really couldn't figure out that there were no mines near the city of Renas, and as one of the leading figures in East Germany, no one knew this kind of thing better than him, and he didn't understand what the mayor of Renas was trying to buy such a useless company.
I can't fall in love with the mother and daughter like Sir Philip.
4000 gold pounds for two women?
This is somewhat sensational.
"Do I need to explain it to you?"
Donald, who would never make any concessions in this regard, had no intention of explaining anything to the businessman at all, and went on unceremoniously,
"If you can't figure it out, go back and think slowly, Steve Minerals will be renamed Renas Minerals in the future, and you should understand the meaning. ”
If this mining tycoon relied on fair and honest means to obtain this mining company, Donald may still be a little ashamed of his behavior of cutting off his beard, and it is not impossible to give the other party some compensation in some places where he can.
But this guy is using intrigues to seize this property, and in this case, Donald naturally has no need to avoid anything about what means he uses to deal with him.
"It was my rudeness, I wish you a great night. ”
Rao is finger knuckles pinching the wine glass turned white from exertion, and the merchant finally chose to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
He didn't dare to clash with the big man in front of him at such a party, it was extremely stupid, because it was Count Tulip's party, where most of the nobles in East Germany were gathered, and he was just a merchant.
To put it mildly, not to mention that Donald spent 4,000 gold pounds today, even if he really spent 3,000 gold pounds to buy this mining company at the lowest price and occupy all his previous efforts, he could only pretend that nothing had happened to say goodbye.
"What Sir Talos has done this time is a bit unruly!"
Just as the merchant was about to leave, a familiar voice sounded beside him.
Who else could there be, of course, Viscount Philip, who was "in sympathy with him".
The knight, who had just spoken to the mother and daughter, was now also full of anger, and thought that after this auction he would be able to take advantage of the momentum to easily send the two beautiful ladies into his bedroom.
Who would have thought that the other party has now become a subordinate of Sewit Taros, in the past, he could use some gifts to get close, maybe he could still achieve his goal, but he was dizzy just now to tease the other party's woman.
Even if the private life of the aristocracy is very corrupt now, and there are endless things such as mistresses and faces, his behavior is still very provocative.
At this time, it is undoubtedly self-inflicted.
"The other party is the young master of the Taros family, or the mayor of Renas City...... Fortunately, I didn't invest too much, and I didn't hurt too much by closing it now. ”
That being said, the merchant drained the glass in one gulp, squinting his eyes, the resentful gaze cast through the two gaps at the figure of the widow and her daughter walking towards the Steve family.
Some thoughts are unspeakable.
"Just like nothing happened?"
Philip and the capitalists obviously have some similar ideas, sparing no effort to provoke the other party's nerve called "revenge".
"Don't you want to know why he suddenly bought that mining company like crazy?"
Also a viscount, Philip did not hesitate to express his thoughts in the absence of Donald.
"What do you mean......"
"He's the mayor of Renus, everybody knows that, but he's also a layman who doesn't know anything about the mining industry, so what if he buys that mining company, can't you get into trouble with Steve Minerals on the surface, don't you even know 'normal' business methods in this industry?"
Even if it is an aristocrat, it is impossible to make money with a name, in Philip's opinion, Donald's purchase of this mining company is undoubtedly a stupid decision, raised his hand around the shoulders of the capitalist, and whispered,
"Since Sewit Talos bought this mining company, he must have wanted to use it to achieve some kind of purpose, you should have a lot of 'friends' in that company, he bought the company for 4,000 gold pounds, you just need to find a way to make him understand that the mining company has brought him endless losses, maybe it won't be long before you can receive the news that the company has been auctioned for the second time...... You know, the party only lasts one night, but business is a long-lasting thing!"
