The incident continued to ferment, and when the accusations and rebuttals of various parties set off an unparalleled hurricane on the radio programs and computer networks of various systems under the jurisdiction of "Babylon," at this juncture, the most prestigious "Somar" auction house in the "Hanging Gardens" threw a bombshell to the commercial media, and three days later, a batch of remnants of the Ipsilon ruins would be auctioned off on the 18th floor of the Starlight Building in the central square of the "Hanging Gardens," and major arms dealers and merchants from various countries in the Tianchao Star Region would be invited to participate.

Generally speaking, the trade in the remains of the Ipsion remains can be done autonomously through the free trade platform in the Guò business district, and few people choose the classic offline auction method, which is not only cumbersome, inefficient, but also requires a substantial commission to be paid to the intermediary, which is much higher than the platform royalties extracted by the government.

Those who heard the news couldn't help but feel strange, but when they saw the number of items in the auction, they suddenly realized that 10 pieces of the remains of the Ipsisaurus were packaged and sold, which was definitely a big deal.

Even if the "Babylon" star system is the trading center of the entire Hillenbuir region, and the frequency of trading of the remnants of the Epsilon relic, is much higher than that of other star systems, but on average, it will take more than a month to have a piece of the remnants of the Epsilon relic, and it will be auctioned by dozens or hundreds of arms companies, and it is still unknown who will end up with it.

Now that 10 pieces have appeared at once, and they are still packaged for sale, who is not tempted by the top forces in the Tianchao Star Region? In the field of development and research of the Epsilon Ruins, the probability of the scientific and technological output of a single Epsilon Ruins is too low, but if 10 pieces are bundled together, it is by no means as simple as 1 plus 1, which is different from those ancient crafts, the number will be greatly depreciated, and the more the Epsilon Dragon Ruins, the more precious they are. The more the merrier, the more valuable.

Being able to exchange a renewable resource such as banknotes for a non-renewable resource such as the remains of the Epsilon is a lucrative business in itself, although there is a gambling nature in it, but how can there be no risk in doing business? What's more, if this business is not done well, it is related to the rise and fall of a country.

If the strife of nations is a hurricane, then the news is a thunderbolt that pierces the night sky. Pierced through the clouds and fell to the ground to reflect the red face of the person.

People are always attracted by more novel things, and the "bundled auction of 10 pieces of the remains of the Ipsi Dragon Ruins" caused great repercussions in the "Hanging Garden" business circle for a while, and even the high-level officials of various countries have postponed their efforts and shifted their attention to the upcoming auction.

The situation in "Babylon" is like a straw mat spread over a wildfire, and it appears to be calm on the surface, but in reality the flame has not been extinguished, but a pile of firewood has been added to it.

Some business media have tried to pry open the mouth of the manager of the "Somar" auction house to find out the origin of the remains of the Ipsisaurus. After all, since the construction of "Babylon", there have been few auctions of this scale.

Which organization that has the ability to get so many remnants of the Epsilon Ruins is not a big enterprise with deep pockets, a big force, how could they possibly take out these treasures for auction? Will there be anything greasy in this?

The heads of the major arms companies racked their brains and couldn't figure out the twists and turns, but they still participated in the auction on time, because there was never any problem with the things auctioned by "Somar".

…………

On the tenth day, at 13:30 in the "Hanging Garden", lunch will be eaten. Tang Fang took Claire, Aros, Hausen, and Grant from the hotel to the Starlight Building.

As one of the landmark buildings of the "Sky Garden", the Starlight Building is like the brightest star under the night sky. It stands 200 meters north of the central square of the business district.

Not only is it taller than its neighbors, but it is also ornate in shape, like a pair of lighthouses dotted with sparkling stars.

The auction was held on the 18th floor of Building A, where there was a specially purchased venue for the auction house "Somar", and the auction had not yet started when Tang arrived. He was connected to the venue by the staff appointed by the "Rover Technology Consortium" and arranged in a very luxuriously decorated private room on the second floor.

Corey? Christian was not present, and it was his assistant White who was in charge of receiving Don? Davide, this is the second time the two have met, and there is a little less restraint. A little more familiar.

White? Davide's dress is still so meticulous, without the slightest wrinkle of the suit, cream white shirt, black tie and black leather shoes, his hair is shaped with hair wax, and the front end is pinched into burrs, looking heroic and solemn.

Why didn't Hausen arrange a beautiful woman, but instead sent such a little white face to receive them, could it be that he wanted to seduce Claire?

Tang Fang didn't care at all, he already knew on the way here that it would be like this, with White? After a few polite words, Davide shifted his gaze to the layout of the room.

The whole room covers an area of about 60 square meters, the walls are painted in metallic silver, like a bright mirror under the illumination of the crystal lamp array on the ceiling, the center of the room is a long glass coffee table, on which are placed teacups, teapots waiting for guest utensils, behind the coffee table is a row of black leather sofas with integrated massage system, there is a vertical refrigerator in the right corner of the door, which puts all kinds of wine, vegetables and fruits, and there are water supply facilities and coffee machines, juicers, etc., you can make your own tea.

In front of the coffee table is a holographic projection device and a spiritual system, the former is used to observe the auction items, and the latter is used to adjust the room environment.

White? Davide let a few people sit on the sofa, then beckoned the lady outside the door to serve tea, and then sat on a separate sofa to talk unhurriedly with Tang Fang about the current situation of "Babylon".

Now, he finally knows the reason why Tang Fang did not act immediately after receiving the summons from the "Rover Technology Consortium", I am afraid that the big boss of "Morning Star Forged" has calculated that the situation of "Babylon" will cause ripples, so he has patience and will not hold an auction until today.

For example, if the "Ankalym" terrorist attack was a cluster of wildfire, then the countries that later practiced Tai Chi were the people who collected firewood, and the guy sitting in front of him was the person holding an iron hammer full of chicken wings and waiting for the barbecue.

…………

The sound of the host's subdued speech came from the broadcast system, and the whiskey in the small square glass was already halfway down, White? Davide looked at Tang Fang, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, and his heart tightened for no reason, he suddenly realized a problem, this guy didn't just have an iron hammer full of chicken wings in his hand. In the other hand, he also held a banana fan.

While the two were talking, some people came in the hall on the first floor one after another, sat down according to their seats, and quietly waited for the auction to start. Among them, there are many people who know each other, and they have to talk about each other.

"Babylon" has been so lively these days, whether it's just to see the excitement. Representatives of the merchant group who still have the intention of buying are all secretly wondering about the origin of these 10 pieces of the remains of the Ipsisaurus, why it did not appear sooner or later, but at such a time.

The strategy that is carried out in the dark and makes people unguardable is called a conspiracy. Bright and magnificent, the strategy of putting the wisher on the table to take the bait is called Yangmou.

Everyone is a businessman, and the distance between a businessman and a smart person is very close, and sometimes you can even draw an approximate equal sign, as a smart person. They knew that this was a conspiracy, but knowing that it was so, they still had to jump into it, because if they didn't jump, could it still be called a conspiracy?

So they are very unhappy, very unhappy, very aggrieved, but they have to endure the unhappiness. Endure the displeasure and endure the grievances to participate in this auction.

The second floor was gradually filled. Those who can be arranged in private rooms are representatives of some large arms companies, and even commissioners sent by the governments of various countries.

Don Fang and White? Davide chatted casually while ordering Emma to hack into the central computer of the auction using a wireless network to remotely monitor and screen the identities of the participants.

Since these people are interested in the remains of the Ipsisaurus Ruins, I believe that most of them are industry insiders, and they may have an intersection with them in the future. It's better to do more homework now so that you need it later.

The whiskey in the small square glass didn't come from the refrigerator in the corner of the room, but from White? Davide brought with him, belonging to the old Corey collection, which is distilled with mountain spring water and selected rye. Aged in oak barrels for 38 years, it is soft and soft on the palate, with a strong Irish flavour.

White? The cup in Davide's hand was empty, the first and the last, for the flat round bottle on the beautifully patterned coffee table was already empty, trickling down.

It was drunk by the guy named Hausen.

White? Davide narrowed his eyes slightly, put down the small square cup, and gently stroked the engagement ring on his middle finger with his right hand, which was his habit, as natural as going to the fencing gym after work every day.

Everyone has their own little habits, touching their earlobes, pushing their frames, and pinching their chins...... All of this, in most cases, is natural, but it is a little unnatural in the eyes of some people.

"Some" here included the Don side, but he didn't say anything and did nothing.

He just drank the wine in his glass and ordered a song, the song of the Galactic Enchantress, which surprised Grant and Aros, didn't the captain always deal with Miss Charlotte?

The soft singing voice is like a gurgling stream, the spiritual system is activated autonomously, a bright color flashes, there are flowers in the wilderness, white clouds are vast, hare flowers are around, and the Qinghe stone is upstream.

White? Davide frowned, didn't say anything, he looked up at Tang Fang, and found that the captain seemed to be asleep, and there was a slight snoring sound in his nose.

Looking at Grant and Claire next to them, they seemed to treat the captain as air, one was browsing the discount information of the mall, and the other was studying the practice of Chinese cuisine.

He grinned, he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, the 10 pieces of the remains of the Ipsisaurus were about to be auctioned, the holographic projection equipment had been turned on, and the light intertwined into three-dimensional images in mid-air.

Does he really care?

Tang Fang moved, White? Davide thought he was sleeping comfortably and needed a change of position.

Actually, otherwise, the captain didn't sleep at all, and he didn't look like he was drinking too much to do for White? Davide looked at it, his attention had already turned to his mind, there was the surveillance video of the venue provided by Emma, from the front hall to the back hall, and even the entire "Starlight" building, no one could escape his eyes.

As for what he just moved, it wasn't that his posture was uncomfortable, but that he found a person, an acquaintance, among the attendees!

…………

The auction took place as scheduled, and the remains of 10 epsilons appeared on the display, along with several representatives of the military-industrial complex, who were inspectors selected from among the participants by the auction house "Somar" to prove the authenticity of the lots.

Next, after a short inspection procedure. Officially enter the auction relief.

According to the organizers, the starting price of these 10 pieces of the remains of the Ipsisaurus is 1 billion Star Coins, and each price increase shall not be less than 100 million Star Coins.

The host explained the details of the auction as usual, and then announced the start of bidding.

The lighting of the venue slowly softened, and the 10 remnants of the Epsilon dragon rotated back and forth on the large screen, and an independent bidding system was fixed in the center of the stage. It stands out.

Most of the attendees were stern and dressed formally, with most of them wearing wireless headphones and holding PDAs issued by the venue staff.

Headsets are used by delegates to contact the top management of the company, and PDAs are used to bid on them.

When the countdown number on the auction system becomes 0, the auction is officially opened.

"1.1 billion Star Coins!" A white man with a classic watch on his wrist said, pressing the keys on the PDA.

His name is Beaufort? Joyce, a purchasing specialist from the "Cardmon" group, is a very nostalgic person. Having fun collecting antiques from the Earth's calendar is like the watch on your wrist, which is a Swiss watch of great workmanship.

The "Cardmon" group is a group enterprise engaged in the production of chemical raw materials, most of which are used in planetary environmental modification systems.

In addition to the above, the participants' names, ages, places of origin, marital status, tax records, and even his personal hobbies and habits were all recorded by Emma.

"1.3 billion Star Coins!" Someone directly increased the price by 200 million, and he was a black man. From the mining industry "Galileo".

"1.4 billion!"

"1.8 billion!"

"2.5 billion!"

……

The markup came from the lobby on the first floor, and the commissioners of large enterprises in the private room on the second floor did not participate in the competition. Because they represent either a large military enterprise or a national government, in such an occasion, bidding is very important, and the corporate image is also very important.

The conservative valuation of the 10 pieces of the remains of the Ipsisaurus is above 9 billion, and the current auction price is only more than 200 million star coins. Isn't it shameless to let the representatives of these large enterprises compete with those in the audience?

Now is not the time for them to make a move!

"4.5 billion!"

"4.8 billion!"

Bids continue to climb, and some attendees, who had been invited by the Somar auction house to fill their heads, have begun to retreat. If you can get 10 pieces of the remnants of the Ipsisaurus at a low price, it is naturally excellent, if not, then there is no loss, and you should come here to open your eyes.

A few minutes later, the offer broke through the 8 billion mark, and most of the people downstairs had already chosen to give up and no longer bid, and Tang Fang shifted his attention from the hall on the first floor to the private room on the second floor, because some people could no longer sit still.

"8.2 billion!" According to the information, the offeror is a representative of the "Thomas" group, which is an international trading company.

"8.4 billion!" The offeror is from the well-known Star Alliance arms company "Eco-Sowopurna Group".

"8.6 billion!" Baker? Nelson - Assistant General Manager of Iga Industrial Branch in Babylon.

"9 billion!" This is not someone else who directly raised the price of 400 million star coins, it is White from the "Rover Technology Consortium"? David, Old Corey sent him this time not only to entertain Tang Fang, he also has another task, to take down these 10 pieces of Epsilon Ruins as much as possible, if you consider the situation of "those 2 pieces of Epsilon Ruins that have been pre-sold to the 'Rover Technology Consortium' at 8.5% off", even if it exceeds the expected price, it is acceptable.

Finished quoting, White? Davide looked at Tang Fang and found that he was still in the same state as before, without the slightest change, he couldn't help but shake his head, sighed, and secretly said that this kid never played cards according to common sense.

The captain knows better than anyone about White's offer, not only the price, but also his habitual twisting of the engagement ring.

Soon, the offer of 9 billion was broken by an Arab merchant with a turban wrapped around his head, and the price was directly increased by 500 million to a high price of 9.5 billion star coins.

His name is Avala? Dufour, according to the information of the auction house "Somar", is a businessman from the Republic of Ida, and his enterprise belongs to a well-known large military-industrial enterprise.

Of course, Tang Fangcai would not believe that he was just an ordinary business representative, and if the expectation was correct, this person should be the commissioner installed in "Babylon" by the government of the Republic of Date.

"Can't sit still anymore......"

Sure enough, as he expected, the temptation of the remains of the 10 Epsilon ruins could not resist even the sovereign nation.

"9.6 billion!"

"9.8 billion!"

"10 billion!"

Other large military enterprises and commissioners of various countries no longer hold their own identities and have joined the competition.

Soon, the quotation broke through the 12 billion yuan mark. At this time, no one on the first floor was holding signs, and some of the representatives of the enterprises in the private room on the second floor also gave up the bidding, and the few people who were still raising the price were agents from various countries.

12 billion is not a small amount, although the bidding price of the remains of the Epsilon Dragon Ruins in "Babylon" has always been higher than in other places, but the unit price of 1.2 billion for a ruin fragment of this size is already the limit, and now the only motive to support them to continue bidding is "bundle bidding". (To be continued......)
