Chapter 421: The Government's Confidence?
"150,000,000 ......"
"150,000,000 ...... twice"
His gaze slowly swept over a group of lieutenant generals, and seeing that none of them had raised their hands, the flying squirrel dropped the hammer.
ββ¦β¦ Three times! Deal! β
"Hehehehehe, thank you Lieutenant General Canglong!"
At this time, the tea dolphin smiled at Ron with a happy face.
Ron blinked, and it dawned on him.
It turned out that this giraffe fruit was an auction item for tea dolphins!
A giraffe fruit, which is at the bottom of the weakest animal line, can be sold for a sky-high price of 150 million Bailey, and the tea dolphin should thank him.
Soon, a spy in a white suit packed the Devil Fruit in public and put it in a box and came to Ron's side.
"Lieutenant General Canglong and Lieutenant General Chapoise, may I ask if the two of you pay in person or communicate privately?"
The tea dolphin thought for a while: "Let's communicate privately, just let things go." β
"Understood."
The white suit didn't say anything, put down the box and turned to leave.
On the other side, seeing Ron's curious face, the tea dolphin explained with a smile: "We are not a shady black market auction, and the government will not allow taboo things to enter private hands, so every transaction is open and transparent, no need to be sneaky, and it is very normal to pay in person." β
Answering Ron's most surprising doubts, the tea dolphin continued.
"But I think Lieutenant General Canglong suddenly pulled in, and he shouldn't have brought much cash, so just give me the money when I go back."
It is impossible for everyone who participates in the auction to be as rich as Ron, and most of the auction items are privately exchanged between the owner and the purchaser for benefits or other things, and the government does not care much about the twists and turns.
Ron seemed to come to his senses, and then pulled out a sand-gold gold card from his pocket.
"I see, I don't have much cash with me."
Who would have thought that there would be such a high-end auction in the Navy Headquarters that was even more terrifying than the average top black market auction, and Ron really didn't have much cash on him.
But......
I'm not bad for money!
The tea dolphin looked at the gold card dumbfounded, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
MMPοΌ
This is the VIP gold card of the Golden Emperor Private Bank, right?
The bank that doesn't accept it without 10 billion deposits?
The typed draft was directly disrupted by this gold card, and the tea dolphin watched in a daze as Ron called a government agent who served as an attendant and asked him to take the gold card to go through the transfer procedures.
"Cang...... Lieutenant General Canglong, what a rich man! β
The tea dolphin pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, and began to doubt life.
is also the top powerhouse in the general candidate seat, why is there such a big gap between the rich and the poor between people?
What do you want to do when you go out with 10 billion?!!
The tea dolphin was a little skeptical of life, and considered whether he would be so rich if he quit his gambling habit.
On the other hand, the auction was not suspended because the tea dolphin began to think about life, and the follow-up money transactions of the auction were handled by government agents, and soon the second auction item was pushed out.
"Dakuai Knife Twenty-one Gong [Puffer Fish Poison], the blade has its own neurotoxin, which will flow from the wound blood into the whole body, and the lethality is amazing!"
"The starting price is 200 million Baileys, and the single price increase is not less than 10 million!"
It is a standard katana, about a meter long, and the shimmering mirrored blade is light purple with water lines, adding a bit of evil to it.
After the flying squirrel finished speaking, Lieutenant General Stonobeley, who was in the position next to Peach Rabbit, suddenly spoke: "This knife can be replaced with another big quick knife...... Well...... As long as it can be matched with my [Kamami]. β
Stoneobyl took out a long blade pinned to his waist, and with just a glance, Ron knew why he had taken out this [puffer fish poison].
Because the weapon called [Kamai] is more than one meter three long, compared to the one meter of [Puffer Fish Poison], it is almost like a child's body at one meter.
No one has stipulated that a second-rate swordsman must have the same length of sword, but Stoneobyl is clearly on the list.
[Puffer Fish Poison] is too chicken for him to cooperate with [Kamai], so it is better to exchange or sell it and find another one.
Most of the lieutenant generals in the headquarters take the swordsmanship + physical arts route, and this [puffer fish poison] Stoneobe can't be used, and the rest of the people can use it!
"Two hundred and thirty million!"
"Two hundred and fifty million!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Three hundred and ten million!"
Soon, the price went all the way up, although the big fast knife is not as good as the supreme big fast knife, but it is also a rare magic weapon, every swordsman can't bear to miss it, if the flying squirrel is not already accompanied by a big fast knife, it will also can't help but ask the price.
Ron also didn't participate in the auction, he already had the Thunder Dragon Fang Heavenly Halberd, and the rest of the weapons were just a burden.
Moreover, you can't mess around with money.
This auction is not so much about selling stolen goods as about the lieutenant generals in the headquarters exchanging what they have, and each taking what he needs under the witness of the government.
If Ron is all in the bag......
Believe it or not, you will be invited to tea by the five old stars the next day?!
"Three hundred million Baileys!"
At this time, a bid lower than the existing price code attracted the attention of the rest of the people, and the Lieutenant General of the Fire Mountain looked at everyone with a smile and continued: "Then add a good fast knife, which is guaranteed to be similar to your [Kamai]!" β
"Hmm...... Is that your [Feiyan]? β
Stoneobyley asked, and Burning Mountain nodded.
"Okay, I see."
Stoneobelle got the answer he wanted, and nodded at the flying squirrel.
"Fifty pieces of good fast knife [Feiyan], estimated at 170 million Bailey, with a total value of 470 million!"
Although it is difficult for a good knife to be looked down upon, it is rare and expensive, compared to the Devil Fruits, which have not even been counted by the government until now, there are only fifty good fast knives, and I don't know how many have been lost, the price is really more expensive than the Devil Fruits.
After the flying squirrel quotes the final price, it raises its hammer.
"470 million first ......"
"470 million second ......"
"Four hundred and seventy million for the third time!"
Nation!
"Deal!"
After that, the auction continued, and Ron was well-informed, but he still had a lot of knowledge here.
In addition to tangible auction items, there is also information and various materials that can be traded. At the same time, in addition to the lieutenant generals of the headquarters, the government spies as representatives will also sell some auction items.
But since it is not something that must be handed in, the lieutenant generals will not give them face, as long as they look at it, who can get it depends on financial resources.
For example, a vein discovered on the seabed not long ago at the G series base where Lieutenant General StΓ©rrez is located has a preliminary exploration value of more than 5 billion, but it is extremely difficult to develop.
He took out 30% of the shares to auction to seek collaborators, and was finally pocketed by Peach Rabbit at a sky-high price of 1.3 billion.
The government agents didn't seem surprised that Peach Rabbit could come up with 1.3 billion Bailey, but their final bid was 1.2 billion, and they had already touched the limit of the funds they could mobilize, which made it very uncomfortable to lose.
"Behind Peach Rabbit, it's probably Staff Crane who is supporting, right?"
Ron saw this scene in his eyes and thought for thought.
No one can say the profit that a vein can bring, if there is only 5 billion yuan for preliminary exploration, including the cost of development and transportation, the two of them can at most protect their capital and earn some hard money.
But if it exceeds five billion or even tens of billions, it is blood gain!
This kind of interest is placed in front of him, and it is worth taking it down by Staff Officer He.
Speaking of the navy, this organization is strange enough, it is obviously an army, and the military budget should be fully allocated by the government, so as to control the lifeline, so as not to lose the tail.
But the world government does not prohibit members of the military from being self-reliant, you have a way to make money, as long as you don't cause trouble, they can turn a blind eye.
Don't mention the "self-fending" naval scum in the original book, just now, there is the existence of Ron, who is rich and rivals.
It has dual shares in Golden City and Century City; the dividends of the arms business in charge of Lao Cai, the country of flowers in the West Sea; Accept trade taxes between residents of the empty island and Qinghai residents; The G10 branch itself also looted from time to time...... Oh no, clear the pirates......
All kinds of income add up, it's just a lot of money!
This kind of hidden danger that endangers the rule is simply unrealistic on the earth, and unless the poor cannot feed the army, it is absolutely impossible to allow the army to do business.
But the world government seems to be not afraid at all that the army will be able to feed itself on its own.
It is true that the main source of funding for the Navy at present still comes from the government. Ron's entire net worth combined also makes up to three G10-sized branches self-sufficient.
And the number of navies in the world combined, how can the number of the three G10s be compared?
But the hidden dangers are obvious, so why not stop them?
Unless......
The government has the cards that can be easily suppressed even if the army rebels!
For example......
Ancient Weapons!
Ron frowned silently, and had some guesses in his mind.
"I hope I'm thinking too much!"
If that's true, even if he stands at Whitebeard's level in the future, it is not realistic at all to want the dove to occupy the magpie's nest and take over the world government to rule the world.
