Chapter 337: The Auction [1]
During a week's break, Durin spent his time observing the topography of the city of Otis, where there were many abandoned military fortifications, and the invasion of the Federation during the Civil War was so overwhelming that it almost reached the heart of the Empire. In order to ensure the safety of the imperial capital, a large number of military facilities were arranged in Otis, a place that is permeable from north to south. It was not demolished after the war and was left unused there.
The city is basically surrounded by flat land, and there are low mountains in the east and west directions, which is why Otis is obviously underdeveloped in the heart of the empire, those two walls cut off the east-west transportation, and without water transportation, the transportation hub will definitely not be placed here.
Once there is a star-level city in any region, it will involuntarily drain the human resources of other cities, and this is the case with Otis City. The young people all went to Nano Lindes, which was nearly 200 kilometers away, which was the transportation hub in the heart of the empire, with huge throughput, not only land transportation, but also abundant water resources and water transportation, which was not much worse than the imperial capital.
After looking at the neighborhood, Durin found the local history of the city of Otis and found that the land around the city of Otis was undeveloped and did not have any ownership rights. He immediately decided to hold an auction, and also informed the New Party insiders, as well as some wealthy people in society, that the auction was about the land around the city of Otis.
When the New Party and many rich people learned about Durin's invitation, their first thought was that this guy was sick, and he was not clear, and his brain was already burned. To put it nicely, it's called whimsical, and to put it badly, it's crazy to think about money.
If he auctioned off the land around Montel, Illian, or the Imperial Capital, he didn't need to invite anyone, just a little bit of news from him, and soon it would be reasonable that the rich would gather, and everyone would want to take something out of his fingers and lick it to fill his stomach.
But where is he going to sell?
It's the city of Otis where you can't even see many passers-by during the day, and I'm afraid that there are only woods left in that ghost place except for the woods, and no one will choose that ghost place even for hunting.
Some people took it as a joke, but others were serious, like Alexander and Gardfield.
Durin wasn't sure if they had nothing to do to do and see how miserable he was, or if they really wanted to come over looking for a business opportunity. He deliberately wore the two of them around the city, and their expressions gradually became very exciting, until they returned to the town hall, and neither of them said anything more on the way.
Soon, the day of Doolin's auction of the land in Otis City came to the imperial capital, and two staff members of the Ministry of Justice came to the imperial capital, who would strictly supervise the auction process throughout the process and handle all the formalities for the auctioneer.
No way, the only judge in Otis is over seventy years old, and he is the only one in the judicial system. Not to mention letting him do this, even getting him to stand up is probably a very difficult thing, so Du Lin sent an official letter to the Ministry of Justice in the imperial capital, asking for cooperation from there, so they sent two people over.
The auction was held in the conference hall of the town hall, and with the city of Otis as the core, Dührin planned ten plots of land, close to 200 square kilometers, radiating out of the surrounding area, and all of them were designated for planned use.
Dufo, who was a guest auctioneer, walked up to the stage, said hello to the two Justice Department staff, and then smiled at the only three auctioneers in the audience.
Yes, there were only three people in this auction, and even the judicial staff from the imperial capital were laughing at the specifications and scale of this auction, but Du Lin did not have the slightest embarrassment on his face, but he had a kind of confidence that others could not see, as if they were auctioning off not some barren land, but a number of gold mines with amazing reserves.
"The first place we want to auction is the No. 1 land in the plan map, close to the side of the railway, with a total length of ......", after reporting a lot of data, Du Fo raised his head, "The starting price is 100 yuan, 20 yuan each time, gentlemen, you can start!"
Durin raised the sign in his hand, and then waited for almost a minute, and after no one continued to raise the card, Dufo struck the gavel three times, completing the first transaction. The two young guys from the imperial capital couldn't help but laugh again, it was really interesting that such a large piece of land was sold for only a hundred yuan, this was not like selling land at all, but selling toys! One of the guys was a little curious, and he also planned to buy a piece of land to play with. Anyway, looking at the posture, it is only 100 yuan, and it costs him more than a month's salary, but after buying this land, it will belong to him forever.
Maybe when will it start to develop here?
When auctioning the second piece of land, he raised his hand and said that he would also bid for it, but unfortunately, the price of this land quickly rose to a point that he could not accept - 1,000 yuan.
He could only withdraw his hand silently, and then cursed a few words in his heart, these three people are crazy!
Of the ten plots, Durin took eight, and Garfield and Alexander each took one. Whether they really want to invest here or not, it doesn't cost much to invest in a piece of land, but it can still sell Duhrin a face, so why not?
The worst and smallest auction ever ended with a final offer of 100 dollars for Durin, and the two staff members quickly wrote and stamped the legal documents and handed them to the three of them. One of them also said with a smile: "I believe that the city of Otis will definitely have a good development, the three gentlemen are very clever in their investment vision, from now on, the land you have auctioned belongs to your private property, and no one can take away these properties without your consent." ”
Durin shook his hand, "Thank you very much for being here in your busy schedule, thank you very much!", he took the bag containing a series of legal documents from the man's hand, handed it to Dufo, and then thought for a moment, took out a checkbook from his pocket, tore two of them, each with a thousand dollars written on them, and threw them on the ground. When everyone in the room didn't know what Durin was doing this, he bent down again and picked up two checks with his name signed on them and put them in the other party's pocket, "I just picked up two notes, our judge is currently unwell and can't handle these things, please take care of them as appropriate." ”
This is a bribe of Zhengda Guangming, but no one can find fault with Durin's bribery method. First of all, he did not contact the two people from the Ministry of Justice in advance to discuss the conditions, which means that there was no premeditation. Secondly, this happened after the auction, so there were no violations and operations, and the results of the auction were still valid. In the end, under the "sighting" of as many as five people, Durin did indeed pick up the note, and then he did not say that it was for the two Ministry of Justice staff, but asked them to dispose of it at their discretion.
This is not a bribe, but it is just the most correct thing for a gentleman with good moral character and education to do after picking up a lost property, even if he wants to fight a lawsuit over this matter, it is impossible to lose to the highest court of the empire, Doolin.
The man was stunned, and was about to refuse, but before his hand touched his pocket, he felt the corners of his clothes being pulled. He paused, glanced at the smiling Durin, and finally dispelled his thoughts.
That's a thousand!
They didn't have this money for a year, and they could collect this money with peace of mind, after all, they didn't break any rules for Durin, let alone cover up or do anything against his conscience and the law for him.
The two of them thanked Durin very warmly, left their contact information, and then turned to leave. After the two men left, Durin would say something that was not suitable for outsiders.
"To be honest, I didn't expect you to actually buy a piece of land, I knew that was the case......"
Before Durin could finish his sentence, Alexander's interrupted him, smiling and patting Durin's arm, "We're friends, aren't we? ”
Garfield also said in a timely manner that as long as he can do something, he will definitely help if he can.
They didn't just hold up a sign and ask for the lowest price like Doolin, Alexander quoted a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan, and so did Garfield. This money is not much in terms of their net worth, but it is enough to express affection, and it can even be said that it is a bit much.
You must know that the money obtained from the auction of these plots by Dührin will not fall into Dürin's own pocket, but will be transferred to the treasury account of the Otis Town Hall, which is the money of the "official empire"!
Durin retorted amusedly, "Hell, wait until I'm done." He looked at Alexander and Garfield to make sure they didn't interject before continuing: "I mean, if I knew you were going to throw a piece of land, I'd draw two smaller ones! Damn, do you know how much my heart hurts right now? It's a million-dollar deal, and 100,000 dollars were taken away by the two of you!"
His expression was exaggerated, and he clutched his chest in pain, but this did not make Alexander and Garfield laugh, and their faces gradually became a little serious. There is no doubt that Dohrin helped them, and they have started making money. Whether it is the mine acquired by Garfield in the past six months, or the hotel that Alexander invested in other places, they have begun to operate benignly.
This also let them know that this guy Dourin is definitely a business wizard, at least his sense of smell is very keen!
Now he says that the barren land in their hands is worth millions or even tens of millions, and they have to trust Duhring's judgment!
