Chapter 155: Gold Medal Stirring Stick!
"£1,000,000!" The final bid was made in Neuschwanstein Castle, which belonged to the Bavarian royal family. Led by representatives of Spain and Japan, the auction of the United States, Britain, France and Russia officially began, when the Spaniards thought that their hole cards were enough NB, the Japanese offer suddenly scared a lot of people!
Japan is tired of bidding 10,000 or 20,000 pounds. They wanted to end this energy-consuming strife as soon as possible. And they have already learned about the offer of the Spaniards through some hidden channels, so they simply don't do anything and directly increase the price to 1 million! I hope to win this order in one fell swoop.
"£1,020,000!" Sevela did not hesitate to add 20,000! It's worth £1.02 million for a 12,000-ton supercruiser.
"£1,050,000!" The Japanese government was bound to get it, and after obtaining the tacit approval of Mutsu Munemitsu, Shuzo Aoki raised the price again.
"£1,080,000!" Sevela gritted her teeth and motioned for her men to raise the price again.
"£1,100,000!" When the price on the number plate became 1.1 million pounds, Mutsu Munemitsu silently closed his eyes, this price is close to the original price of this battleship, you know, Brazil bought the same type of battleship from Germany, because of the use of British weapons, so the cost is only 1 million pounds, and after counting weapons, it is only 1.15 million pounds.
"£1,150,000!" Severa weighed it for a long time, as if she was ruthless. The price was eventually increased by £50,000. And when this price came out, the whole venue was calm.
"£1,180,000!" When Aoki Shuzo's voice sounded again, Mutsu Munemitsu felt that his heart couldn't stand it anymore! This price has exceeded his expectations, he originally planned to buy a cheap ship, but he didn't expect it to be higher in the end, what is this TM!
"£1.18 million! We will use German-style armament! "After half a ring. The representative of Spain made its own offer, and neither side went further to increase the price, opting instead to facilitate payment terms and other aspects.
"£1.18 million! Half of the payment will be made within 3 days after closing. In April 1897, another 2 percent was delivered, and the balance was paid when it was completed. "The Japanese breathed a sigh of relief, and the price did not rise again. It also makes the Japanese feel a lot less stressed.
"£1.2 million!" Just when everyone thought that the auction was coming to an end, the Russian representative Lobanov offered a price that surprised everyone present! The Russians, who originally thought it was just a soy sauce, killed it at the last moment! The price of 1.2 million suddenly became the highest price! Surprisingly, the representatives of the French government did not say anything!
"What's this TM?!" Both the Spaniards and the Japanese were taken aback by the sudden appearance of the spoiler, and Sevela even couldn't believe his ears, didn't he say okay, these two battleships belonged to Spain? What does it mean for Russia to jump out at this time?
"£1,220,000!" Mutsu Munemitsu looked at the Russian representative Lobanov with eyes that could almost kill. While making an offer to overwhelm the other side, the Japanese foreign minister also made another somewhat unexpected suggestion!
"In this bidding, some countries did not want to buy this warship, and they affected the fairness of this bidding by maliciously raising prices. It is harmful for both buyers and sellers, so I would like the Bavarian royal family to make changes to the rules of the auction. Both parties pay half of the deposit, if the auction is unsuccessful because of a malicious quotation from one side, then the deposit will be confiscated! ”
The Japanese had a reason to buy the two ships, but they agreed to fear the malicious price increase of the Russians. Therefore, Mutsu decided to increase the proportion of the deposit to prevent the auction from failing, after all, this is an arms trade, which is not the same as a general auction. What rule is not yet a matter of a word from the prince sitting opposite? If you don't want to participate, don't participate, love to play. Don't play roll! No one begged you.
"We agree!" To the surprise of the Japanese, they had not yet waited for Prince Ruprecht to speak. The representative of Russia was the first to express his support for this proposal! In just one sentence, the jaws of a bunch of people fell to the ground! At the beginning, everyone thought that the Russians were a spoiler, but who would have thought that when the real character was moved, the Russians would be so decisive! Give back no way to life!
"The rules have changed, then we need to have a time to raise funds, and I suggest adjourning the meeting. Provide a time for all parties to raise funds. "Lord Hamilton made a proposal on behalf of the British Government.
"Don't be so troublesome, start at £1.25 million! Pay a deposit of 650,000 pounds as the bottom line, and if you don't want to play, you can leave! Prince Ruprecht said with a smile that the British's proposal was obviously biased in favor of the Japanese and temporarily suspended to prevent malicious bidding. Naturally, the prince couldn't let the British pass this proposal too easily, so he directly put it up to the top, 1.25 million pounds! Who's going to play?
"£1.25 million is so low! £1,280,000! Russian-class armored cruisers are worth the price! "Robanov offered a price that surprised everyone, as if he had eaten gunpowder! £1,280,000! Buying a brand new battleship plus insurance and return shipping fees is enough! The Russians are crazy, right? However, when the French government expressed its willingness to guarantee the Russian offer, the starting price for the next auction was set at 1.28 million pounds, and the Russian government's remittance would reach the Bavarian royal family within 2 days!
"What the hell is going on here?" The Spaniards and the Japanese have the same expression, especially the Spaniards, who are now a little confused about what the Russians think! Look at this offer, there is also a very refreshing deposit to pay, this is obviously what the Russians themselves want, what about the beginning of the agreement? What about the guarantee of the beginning? What about the most basic trust between people, nations and nations? The world is terrible, I'd better go back to the Ibilis Peninsula in the countryside.
However, before going home, I still can't admit it, the Spaniards agreed, and the Japanese naturally had a reason not to quit, so they simply said to follow up! The first auction was capped at £1.28 million and served as a reserve price for the next starting auction. Half of the deposit will be deposited into the account specified by the Kingdom of Bavaria within 3 days, and then the auction will continue 5 days later! Whoever instigates who is the grandson!
"Damn, what the hell is going on?" Not only the Spaniards and Japanese, but also the United States and Britain felt a little confused, the Russians said that they would not buy these two warships back at such a high price, this is almost everyone's consensus, but how did such a thing pop up in the end? Does Russia really not have to take into account the attitude of France? Even if you don't think about France, you have to consider the franc!
