Of course, hard work comes at a price, and today is the time to harvest. I was dizzy after two busy days, but I managed to get all the work done by Thursday morning. The cities in Indonesia are much more beautiful now than they were when the Indonesians controlled them themselves, and we have spared no expense for this auction.
At 9 a.m. Beijing time on Thursday, more than 100,000 people gathered in the square in central Jakarta. For their own interests, the various guilds have spared no effort to pull customers everywhere, and almost all the lines that have been involved with our guilds have been pulled over by us. Thanks to the words of the rose, this square was expanded, otherwise it would not have been able to accommodate so many people!
Now, on the outer walls of Jakarta, hundreds of thousands of NPC armies are standing ready to defend the city. Our propaganda campaign is overwhelming, and the Indonesians must know that today is the day of the auction, so they are likely to take the opportunity to sabotage our auction operation, and it is safe to have these guards outside.
At half past nine, we closed the passage of the square and officially started the auction. I stood in the amplification magic array on the rostrum and said to the bottom, "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet. The auction is now officially open. Before the auction begins, our staff will send you an auction brochure, all the equipment, technology, warships, cities, etc., in this auction, etc., are detailed in this booklet, and the order on the booklet is our auction order, you just need to turn back to see our auction items in turn. Okay, now ask the staff to hand out the brochure. â
Immediately below, a large number of mm began to send out instructions to the attendees, this brochure is much more detailed than the one used for publicity, and the numbers in it are very precise, and more importantly, this brochure has a detailed description of the auction rules, and the special regulations for different items have also been written in the instructions.
"You are now waiting for the staff to hand out the brochure. Listen to me for some rules. You all know the general auction rules, so I won't say much about this, but now I will mainly explain the special content of this time. The first is the price competition system. We have applied to the system for the auction guarantee system, and you should now be able to see a small payment system form appearing in front of you, which contains your account information, and you can work on it. You won't be able to see it but you, so you don't have to worry about confidentiality.
After you get the brochure for a while, you will find that there is a bidding amount under the photo of the poison auction site, because the items in this auction site are as large as a city and as small as a piece of equipment. So it's impossible to all use the same way of shouting. All you have to do is shout the price according to the label at the bottom of the booklet. For example, if the mark amount is 10,000 crystal coins, it means that you must increase at least 10,000 crystal coins each time you shout, of course, you can also add a lot at once. But it must be an integer multiple of this number.
Because this auction has applied for system protection, a large crystal ball will appear in the field when the bid is called. The ball is displayed at the highest price at the moment, as you shout. The crystal ball moves automatically and stays on the top bidder.
In addition, the number of items in this auction is relatively large, and they are listed one by one in the booklet, so you can judge the time for yourself, and if you want to buy the items that are relatively low, you can consider going to other places first. â
I read out the rough requirements above, and the following brochure has been distributed, and all the buyers have begun to flip through the album in their hands. Among the items we auctioned this time, there were more than 3,000 in the city alone, and the seized equipment was also used to participate in the auction, as well as some technical information on the Indonesian guilds. We are auctioning off a country, so you can imagine how shocking this transaction will be.
The presiding over this auction is in charge of me, Rose, and Bailing respectively, and it will definitely take a break in the middle of the time if the time is too long. The buyers below all sat down and began to flip through the instructions, while I immediately began to prepare a larger brochure on the stage. I'm more detailed than they did, and I can't remember so many things, and I really can't do it for auction without this.
After waiting for a few minutes, I said, "Everyone, now the auction is officially open. Since there are so many items that need to be auctioned this time, we will not introduce the auction items, so you can take the time to read the instructions in between our replacement items. Alright, let's start auctioning off the first item. â
A large hologram emerged behind me, a top-down view of a city.
"What you see now is the first fortress city in Indonesia, Parangkalaya, which is detailed in your instruction booklet, and I believe you have already seen it. The city's starting price is 1,000,000 Crystals, and each bidding is at least 1,000,000 Crystals. â
Today's opening was really intense, and the first auction item was very strong. This time, we deliberately put a better city in the first auction, the main purpose is to liven up the atmosphere and make everyone's blood boil, so that the later items will be sold more and more expensive.
Parangkaraya was the fortress city in the swamp that the Germans could not attack, and in the end it was our windmill town that played a huge role, otherwise it would have been very difficult to occupy. The video of the invasion of Indonesia by the three countries has long been familiar to buyers from various countries, and this city is of course particularly valued. The buyers below shouted desperately like crazy, and as a result, such a city had to shout 230 million crystal coins before a Swiss player bought it.
Next, we started to auction some smaller cities, mixed with some equipment in between, and the competition for buyers was fierce. Our shareholders' guilds were all on the sidelines and listened to the buyers shouting out the price and drooling, and the money was all about our final income!
I hosted the auction alone until 1 p.m., then there was a 20-minute intermission, and after the start again, I was replaced by Bailing to preside over the auction, and I came down to rest. At half past five in the evening I rested again, and then the roses were replaced. The first thing Bai Ling said was: "How much do you earn?" "She didn't know what the total amount was on stage, and we were constantly calculating the total amount of money below.
The eagle gestured to her with both hands, a five, a four. She immediately asked in surprise, "Four and five billion crystal coins?" â
The eagle shook his head, and the lark looked at me. I smiled and replied to her, "It's 54 billion." â
Bai Ling's eyes fell without warning, and the eagle hurried over to pick her up, and I smiled helplessly, because more than 2,000 people had fainted before Bai Ling. The Americans who fought with us are now in extreme euphoria, and they are all howling wildly, after all, the total income is so exaggerated, and the final dividend is absolutely indispensable.
Actually, Rose and I, two people should be the ones who fainted. Because everyone else only knows that the first two-thirds of the goods were sold for 54 billion. But only when Rose and I noticed that the really valuable cities and the equipment and technology that were worth buying were in the last part, and more importantly, the real rich guilds were the last of these things, and they were the real buyers.
At the start of the third game, the number of people in the stadium was significantly smaller. The individuals who want to buy some gear and the small businesses who want to buy a small city to play in have all reached their goal, so they have already started to leave the market. But now. There were suddenly a lot of new faces in the room, and these people left after handing out the brochure in the morning. I haven't come back until now, and I know these are the representatives of the Great Guild.
Rose stood on the stage to announce the start of the auction of the last section, and in order to make the big guilds understand the importance of the last one, the first auction item in the third stage was the Eastern Emperor Han. This time, we will auction the whole of Timor-Leste plus Ktamannanu in Indonesia and Atambu Abdul as a whole. In fact, this area does not have much strategic value, and the real value is the fragrant wood. The area we are auctioning this time is the entire growing area of the fragrant wood. Sixty-five percent of the world's total production of fragrant wood is here, and you can imagine its precious journey. Monopoly equals huge profits, everyone knows this.
We plan to buy this area ourselves, and put it in the first position of the third stage is to hope that some guilds have not yet reacted to spend a few dollars, and by the way, it can also stimulate the purchase of those big guilds**.
When Rose shouted the reserve price of 100 million on stage, the people below gasped. Although the reserve price of the auction item has little to do with the final transaction price, if the reserve price of an item is high, then the transaction price is astronomical.
Almost as soon as Rose finished shouting, Ziyue, as the representative of our guild purchasing group, shouted loudly: "Five hundred million." â
There was an uproar all around, and everyone was dumbfounded. Rose shouted 500 million once on the stage, but no one responded, and then shouted twice and there was no movement. I'm excited, if I can buy this area for 500 million, then it will be released. The actual value here is much more than 500 million.
When Rose was about to shout for the third time, suddenly a voice shouted: "Eight hundred million! "It was an American guild who was shouting, and I recognized him as the representative of the guilds that had conquered the area in the first place.
"Billion!" A German player shouted loudly.
"Two billion!" This voice was not shouted by Ziyue, but Su Mei. She and Xiao Yao sat on both sides of Ziyue, I asked her and Xiao Yao to be responsible for bidding, and Ziyue shouted on her behalf, but Su Mei was so excited that she shouted out, and the price gap was so big.
The audience was shocked, and no one dared to speak. Eagle suddenly reacted and turned back to me, but I was no longer online. When I heard the price that Su Mei shouted just now, I knew something was wrong, so I went offline as fast as I could. The current total funds of the bank are just enough for this number, and if someone adds money later, we will not be able to keep up, so I went offline and directly logged in to the online bank with a helmet, and then quickly mobilized 5 billion yuan from my personal fund to enter the guild funds. 5 billion is the maximum amount of money that can be mobilized without alarming my father, which may be a big number for others, but not for me. After adding 5 billion, I quickly landed in the game. This 5 billion yuan is only equivalent to 500 million crystal coins, which is only enough for Su Mei to add a few times. I know this forest is valuable, but the price is a bit exaggerated. If the 2.5 billion crystal coins can't be done, I'll give up immediately, the risk is too great, we don't need to be hard red.
Really. After Su Mei finished shouting, someone shouted out after a while. "Two and two billion."
Su Mei looked at me in embarrassment, and I nodded to them and compared twenty-five. Su Mei immediately shouted again: "Two and three billion." â
"Two billion billion." This time, it turned out to be a Japanese. This time, we are attracting investment from all over the world, and it is normal for the Americans to bring in the Japanese. Anyway, it's Japanese money, and if you don't make it, you don't earn it in vain.
"Two and a half billion." Su Mei shouted out the final reserve price.
"Twenty billion six." It's still the same Japanese, and this time he shouted out an astonishing price.
"Three billion." The sudden appearance of the voice focused the eyes of the audience on one place.
The Japanese watched as the crystal ball above his head floated over the head of an Italian in the field.
It turned out to be a beautiful Italian woman, but it was clear that she was shouting for a man next to her.
"Three hundred and one billion." The Japanese almost cried out through gritted teeth.
"Three hundred and one million and one million." The Italian neighbor seemed to shout the price defiantly.
Then the two sides began to increase the minimum price increase of the auction item by 1,11,000,000,000, but they only stopped when they increased it to 3,527 million. In the end, it was the Japanese who succeeded in shouting, but by this time he was already panting and his eyes were bloodshot. A mad cow with mad cow disease.
In the shocked eyes of everyone, the rose fell to the hammer: "Lot 30179 was auctioned by this gentleman from Japan for 3.5 billion and 27 million crystal coins. Your bid will be automatically deducted, so please send someone to receive it. â
This shocking shouting is really unbearable, originally our guild thought that we were determined to win, but who knew that there was even more ruthless. But to be honest, that price does take a bit of a risk.
I don't know what the Japanese bought the land for. Anyway, it's not just because there are valuable trees. Those trees are not worth three billion, no matter how valuable they are.
While they started the next auction, I quickly went offline and transferred the funds back. lest my father find out and reprimand me. When it went online again, the second item had already been sold, which was a medium-sized city, and it sold for 170 million, which was not bad.
In the next auction, we, the shareholders' guilds, began to participate in the auction one after another, and everyone knew that these were important cities, and we must get one or two, so we grabbed it very much. It wasn't until 10:30 p.m. that the auction finally came to a successful conclusion. Because Jakarta was bought by an American guild that did not participate in the invasion, all of our guilds that participated in the invasion had to be concentrated in Isenghe. It's finally time to divide the spoils.
When the presidents of the guilds were seated, we roses began to read the report. "Our total revenue from this auction is ......!" Rose paused deliberately, and the presidents below were all ears-turned. Although they have their own statistics, because the whole auction was carried out for one day, their numbers are not complete.
After seeing that those people were ready, Rose finally spoke again: "The total income is one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven thousand nine hundred and fifty-one thousand crystal coins. â
With a bang, more than half of the presidents in the audience fell under the table, and the rest of the people's jaws all dropped, and their eyes were open like brass bells. It took a long time for Ashford to react, and after swallowing his saliva, he asked in disbelief, "Did I hear me right?" â
Rose clapped her hands, and several NPCs came out and handed out some small notebooks to each of their presidents, and then Rose said, "These are detailed records of accounts, and every single one can be checked." â
The first thing those people saw when they opened it was the total amount of statistics, and they all crashed again.
I knocked on the table and called out their souls back. "Don't be in a daze, these are the total amounts, that is, the gross profits, and our war consumption is not a small amount, and we still have so many guilds to share this money, and the final number will not be so exaggerated."
My basin of cold water finally calmed everyone down, but because the fire was too hot, they were still very excited. Everyone knows that such a large amount of money will not be less than no matter how much it is divided, so they don't take my cold water seriously at all.
Rose spoke again: "The total number of participants this time is more than one million, and everyone has different ranks, fortunately, there is a system to help make statistics." Let's let the system directly transfer everyone's appearance fee to the personal account, these numbers are too large for us to be busy, so the system has full authority to handle it. â
I opened the system interface and clicked on the system to assist payroll. Immediately after the auction, there was a big loss of money in the account.
Rose said again: "The salaries of the personnel have used up more than 100 million crystal coins in total, so we have to deduct the upper part from the total amount of the account. This is followed by compensation for the death of the victim and compensation for equipment. â
The work of settling accounts is definitely very boring, but if you are calculating how much you can get, it is a very wonderful thing, and two hours pass before you know it. In the cost of this war, the material consumption of our guild is as high as 4.9 billion crystal coins, which are all materials that our guild has accumulated for so long. But what the guilds didn't know was that our account wasn't actually accurate at all. A lot of the guild's consumption was exaggerated, and no one knew the cost of many secret materials, and in the end, the difference between the accounts made by the rose and the real accounts was a full 500 million crystal coins. In other words, only 4.4 billion of the 4.9 billion consumed is real.
In addition to material consumption. We're making a lot of money on NPC fees. This time, the guards of each city are all our NPCs. In total we committed millions of NPCs to defend our newly occupied cities. The average level of these NPCs is above 500, and a large number of NPCs get a lot of compensation for us. Although NPCs don't have as much wages as players, we have a lot of them, and as a result, we spent 1 billion crystals in one go. This 1 billion is equivalent to taking it for nothing for us. NPCs can't get money with us. Their equipment won't explode, and the city defense NPCs won't be leveled. There is no consumption at all.
In addition, during the repair process of the occupied city, we made a careful design. The price of most supplies is not accurate. We have made a small change to the price of each material, which is not a small change, but you have to think that this repair is in all the cities of Indonesia, and the materials consumed in so many cities are unimaginable. We only make a penny for each material, and the final number is scary. Rose secretly told me that we actually earned more than 200 million crystal coins, which is really too much!
After we liquidate all the consumption, there will only be more than 10 billion pills left in the account of the total payment. And our guild has already received more than 20 billion yuan of funds, excluding the part that our guild really consumes, our bank will actually receive more than 5.7 billion yuan. Although the consumption is relatively large, the remaining net profit of more than 90 billion yuan is also very considerable.
As agreed in advance, our guild provides a lot of material basis for the leading guild, and as the leading guild we can extract eight percent of the net profit as a commission. As a result, more than 90 billion yuan were fought by us again. The remaining more than 80 billion began to be divided according to contributions, and this part began to be in trouble.
The contribution value is relatively general, although the system scoring cannot be questioned, but the proportion of some points cannot be agreed upon. Eventually, we started using a voting system, where we discussed while voting.
As the leading guild of our guild, this contribution value is of course the first. But some guilds believe that our ships should not be scored. The opinion of these guilds was that our warships were to be entered into the war on a lease basis, and that the rent had already been paid for them in the gross profits, so the final points should not be counted in the warships. However, the people of our guild think that the battleship belongs to our guild after all, and although it is leased, it is a fact that it participates in the war, and this point still needs to be calculated. In the end, everyone argued for a long time and decided to compromise, the credit of the battleship is not counted, but the players and NPCs of the bank on the battleship must be scored, otherwise these people are not equal to fighting in vain?
Finally, the argument was over, and everyone began to divide the funds. The Bank will directly receive 23 billion from the 80 billion, and the other guilds will share the rest. The result of Rose's statistics is that the net profit income of this battle guild is 37.7 billion crystal shen. However, this time we bought a few cities, Garland City (Indonesia's original Tanjung Garan), Surprise Attack City (Indonesia's original Pekanbaru), Mage City (Indonesia's original Tranaipura), Ling Zhi City (Indonesia's former Palembang), and Pure City (Indonesia's original Padang) on Sumatra Island. Also, we bought Mataram on Lombok and the city is now renamed Sentinel City. Lombok is such a city, and after we bought it, the whole island became a sphere of influence. We bought here for a purpose, and the Americans bought all the nearby cities, if we didn't sandwich one city in between. In the future, this will become American territory completely, and when the time comes, we will have to go around the good people if we want to.
In addition to these castle cloths, we also bought the original Palembang, which is the island outside our Diling City. This island is stuck at the sea entrance and exit of Ling Zhi City, and if you throw it to others, it is equivalent to planting a time bomb at the door of your home, so you must not let it go. There are two cities on this Bangka island, and after we bought them, we simply merged the two cities into one, anyway, the island is not big, so we simply changed the whole island into one city. The new city was called Bangka City. It is named after the original island name.
These cities and islands have used up a total of two billion crystal coins. Half of it was used in Garland City, a place with such a special location that everyone wanted it, and the price went up to the sky. I almost didn't buy it!
Overall, this time it was a big profit, but it didn't mean that there was nothing to worry about. We also have to pay attention to more important things. That is the day of revenge that will take place. It's already early on Friday morning, and the revenge will begin in thirty hours. It was a real success to survive the explosion.
We had known for a long time that there was such a revenge operation, so we were quite well prepared. Of course, Ashford got the news from me, and he also prepared in advance. Early on Friday morning, we began to sell all kinds of defensive weapons to the guilds that bought the city, the Germans mainly got artillery, ours mainly all kinds of power equipment, and the Americans sold guns, anyway, everyone had their own way to make a fortune.
Before the auction, we had already informed the various guilds that there would be such a counterattack, but we didn't say it very strictly, mainly because we were worried about affecting the auction price, but now we are busy publicizing how dangerous it is this time, anyway, it has already been sold, and we don't care about returning it.
Those guilds knew that there was going to be a war, and now they saw us selling weapons, of course, they were desperately buying them, and of course we were desperately counting the bills on the sidelines.
Although we took advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money, the defense still had to be carried out. Led by the Guild, the guild proposed a joint counterattack strategy to each guild. Since these cities were not captured at the same time, the timing of the Indonesian NPC's retaliation must be different, and we intend to follow the order in which guild will be attacked, and we will support whomever will be attacked. Try to get this side done before the war starts in the next city, and then everyone runs to the next city to defend it. In this way, we can always maintain our own strength higher than the power of NPCs, and the probability of success is naturally greater.
Now you still have some uncertainties about the enemy spawn. It is said that the number of NPCs should be fixed, and the regional defense forces of each country should be limited. For example, in the case of Japan, the enemy who appeared was only exempt from the army, and there were nearly 10 million exempt troops at that time to cooperate with the Japanese players. We, the guild leaders, discussed it together and found that there was a disagreement. At that time, if two countries had established cities in Japan, the NPCs' retaliation would have been different from ours in one city. This is where the disagreement lies, with some people believing that the NPCs will split up and that there will be 5 million NPCs on each side.
Others believe that the NPCs will be doubled, and both cities will be counterattacked by 10 million NPCs. Others believe that the total number of NPCs is still 10 million, but they will focus on one city first, and then move on to another one when it is over.
There are so many cities we need to defend in Indonesia this time, and if so many NPCs are spawned outside each city, it will be really troublesome. However, although everyone disagrees, most people support the first theory, which is that NPCs will attack separately. Because the discussion didn't lead to anything, everyone had to try to choose their own defense, no matter how the enemy attacked, self-strengthening would definitely improve the chances of victory.
On Friday, all the guilds were nervously preparing for the next day's battle, and the busiest was Sammarinda. The city was bought by an American guild, it was the first city to be occupied, and the counterattack was bound to begin here. In order to ensure that the city can consume more of the enemy's strength, all the banks have donated to this place. Nearly every guild has paid for a few cannons for the city, and our guild has parked Windmill City directly above their heads, ready to help them defend the city at any time.
If the NPCs attack according to the first or third option we guessed, then we will hold all the cities as long as we hold the city. Driven by this recognition, everyone spares no effort in the construction of this city, after all, helping them is helping themselves. By Saturday morning, the city was almost invisible, and the whole city had been covered in several layers with armor plates. All the buildings in the city were turned into batteries. More than 100,000 guns of various types filled every street in the city, and all the places where they could be magnified were filled with cannons. In the sea outside the city, tens of thousands of warships from China, the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland and Charitalia blocked almost the entire strait. The countries that bought the cities sent their fleets over.
Our guilds have stationed a large number of troops in this city, and hundreds of thousands of players have been ambushed outside the city. The presidents of the various guilds gathered here, and no one wanted this place to be lost, because the end of this place would mean that the city they bought with their own money could also be lost.
Japanese players and Chinese players are still at odds, but for the time being, we have a community of interests, so we have to defend the city together. Damn I didn't even pay attention to my identity when I assigned the task. When I arrived at the area I was in charge of, I found that it was the Japanese who were working with our guild to defend the area. When I met each other, I yelled and pointed at each other at the same time. Because that guy is none other than Matsumoto Masaga of the Black Dragon Society.
"How are you?" Rose, too, cried out in surprise. When I bought the city yesterday, there were no members of the Black Dragon Society among the Japanese, and today the place to participate in the defense will actually be the Black Dragon Society, so if you don't die, you still have to stay in the same place with us.
"I said, why are my eyelids jumping today!" Matsumoto Masaga is also extremely disgusted with us.
The players on both sides began to argue with each other, and the queen mother almost started to merge early. In the end, Masaka Matsumoto and I came forward to ask everyone to refrain for a while. Although neither side likes each other, this is definitely not the time to fight. If Indonesia's NPCs fight back. Little Japan will indeed lose billions, but we are not much better.
In order to avoid a recurrence of conflicts. The people on both sides of us divided a five-meter partition on the city wall and found some NPCs to come in and use as a barrier.
There was chaos on land for a while, and it was about the same at sea. The Japanese fleet and our fleet also almost fought, and at first there were too many warships of various countries, and everyone did not pay attention. Later, the two fleets inadvertently came together, and as a result, the alarm was raised on both sides at the same time. The German and American fleets rushed in and separated the fleets on either side, otherwise it would be dangerous.
With the Japanese clash in place, players on both sides of the game began to defend their lots with peace of mind. Asford pulled me aside and whispered, "What if it's really the second option?" â
I shook my head: "I don't know. But I don't think the second option is very likely. â
"Why?"
"Indonesia is such a large area, if 10 million NPCs are swiped out from outside each city, how many troops will it take? I don't think the system will mess around like this. Probably according to the situation, an army will be refreshed to concentrate on attacking a city, and then break through one by one. The last time my city was destroyed in Japan, I checked with the high-level NPCs, and it seems that this counterattack has something to do with the city's defense. Last time, only 10 million ghost troops were spawned in Japan, and this time it is estimated that this number will far exceed that number in Indonesia. â
"What do you want to do if you really can't stand it?" Asford looked worried.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "It's not a big problem for players to die, but it's a pity that the material loss is a pity, if it really can't be held, I'll let the fleet retreat first." As for the city ......! It's really not good to be able to keep the best, anyway, we won't lose money, and the money we make at the auction is enough to make up for the loss. But I will definitely not retreat in advance, the fleet can be withdrawn, and the people cannot go. I'd rather hang back unless I hold the city. â
"I see." Ashuford nodded, and said, "I think we'll fight to the last moment." â
After Ashford's departure, the city gradually quieted down, and the guilds were already in place, and everyone was waiting for the final revenge. As long as the defense is successful, Indonesia will not have zĂ i, but if it fails, it is estimated that the city we bought will not have zĂ i.
