Volume 1 WTO Accession Chapter 19 Murder and Goods
Lin Hao and He Guofu, the old and the young, looked at each other and smiled, destined to suffer a little for the royal family of the sect who came to the Brilliant Heavenly Stone.
"Ten million, I'll give out 10 million gold coins!"
The bidding in the hall lasted for nearly ten minutes before finally reaching the threshold of 10 million.
Seeing that the bidding has reached the level of 10 million, it is time for the financier in the box to make a move. Lin Hao and He Guofu stood up in unison, walked to the bidder, and waited quietly.
The auctioneer in the hall obviously knew that the highlight of the auction was just the beginning at this moment, and his eyes were staring directly at the box in front of him, for fear of missing a bid.
"Ten million for the first time!"
"Ten million for the second time!"
"10 Million ......"
The auctioneer waited slowly with a voice, but the people in the dozen or so boxes were not in a hurry, and it was not until the auctioneer was about to spit out the word "sale" that the third box on the left opposite side of the booth slowly raised a bidding sign of 13 million.
"Thirteen million, the VIP in Box No. 3 bids thirteen million!"
More than a dozen people in the box, except for Lin Hao and He Guofu, all came for the Huang Shantide, one person shot, and the rest of the people were not far behind, and for a while, the bidding sound came and went, and in just a few tens of seconds, the price had risen to a high of 25 million!
After the bidding was called to 25 million gold coins, the pace of bidding began to slow down.
After a long while, I heard the person in the fifth box bid: "Thirty million!"
He Guofu looked at Lin Hao and said, "Thirty million is already approaching the true price of the Brilliant Shan Tian Stone, we should make a move!"
Lin Hao smiled faintly, picked up the bargainer and shouted, "Forty million!"
"Forty million, the guests in box 15 bid 40 million!" The auctioneer was obviously surprised by Lin Hao's abrupt bidding, and shouted excitedly.
"You're crazy! How can you bid like this, you have to take your time to increase the price, you suddenly add it, what can you do if others don't want it?" He Guofu was taken aback by Lin Hao, slapped his hand, and blamed.
"Don't panic, Lord He, the true price of this immortal-level Huang Shantideva Stone is about 50 million, I think it's too abrasive for them to add little by little, so just help them and let them finish their work and go home early, wouldn't it be better!"
He Guofu shook his head and didn't say anything more.
"Forty-five million!"
A deep voice suddenly came from the box next to Lin Hao and the others.
Lin Hao looked sideways at the window of the box next door, and saw that it was covered by a curtain, only a thin slit was exposed, and he couldn't see the situation inside. This was their first bid since the auction began, apparently without a rabbit or an eagle.
"Box 14 bids ......!"
Before the auctioneer could finish speaking, another "50 million" bid sounded in the No. 1 box.
"Fifty-one million!" the next box asked again.
"Fifty-five million!"
"Sixty million!"
In the box next to Lin Hao and the others, a richly dressed young man held a wine glass and shouted slowly.
"The guests in box 14 bid 60 million!
"Uncle Chen, shall we add more?" In the No. 1 box, a delicate young man asked the gray-clothed man standing beside him.
"Back to Your Highness, the gold coins we brought this time are only 60 million, which is not enough to increase the price!" the man in gray leaned over and replied.
"Hey!"
The boy sighed, slightly unwilling.
"Sixty-one million!" Before He Guofu could stop it, Lin Hao had already shouted again.
"Damn! You're crazy, it's already 60 million, do you still add it?" He Guofu asked in a panic.
"Didn't you say you wanted to give Miss Xingyu a big gift? I'm doing you a favor!" Lin Hao replied with an innocent face.
He Guofu saw that there was no one outside to pick up the stubble, panicked like an ant on a hot pot, and said: "But, no matter what you say, we have to ensure that someone will continue to bid after we bid, others are not fools, no matter how precious this Shantideva Stone is, if the price is too outrageous, people will not follow it!"
"Okay, you don't have to worry, I have my own measure!" Lin Hao patted He Guofu's shoulder and signaled him to relax.
He Guofu glanced at Lin Hao, turned around and sat down on the chair, twisted his head to the side, and stopped looking at him.
"61 Million Third ......"
Just as the auctioneer at the booth raised the auction hammer in his hand and was about to say the deal, there was another cry in the box next door: "65 million!"
"Sixty-five million, the guests of Box 14 bid sixty-five million gold coins!" shouted the auctioneer with a trembling hiss.
"Sixty-six million!"
Hearing Lin Hao's bidding, He Guofu's brain exploded, and his body collapsed into the chair as if he had no bone support, screaming, and looked at Lin Hao weakly.
"Who is in the box next door, have you inquired clearly?" In the fourteenth box, the young man in Chinese clothes threw away the wine glass in his hand and asked angrily.
"His Royal Highness, it is said to be He Guofu, the city lord of Kamikaze Guoqing Yang City!" replied a man dressed as an attendant.
"Didn't you say before that no one from the Kamikaze Kingdom participated in this auction?
The attendant looked at the young man's anger, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and replied worriedly: "Your Highness, my subordinates have indeed inquired before, and no one in the kamikaze country who has the strength to compete for this Brilliant Shan Tianshi has come to participate in this auction. Although this He Guofu is the lord of Qingyang City, he will participate in every time there is an auction in the galaxy, but he has never bought a single thing. It is rumored that he is just a minister under the skirt of Xingyu, and he came to the auction just to praise the scene, so he didn't take him to heart, please forgive your Highness!"
"Hmph, rice bucket! Didn't you think that this might be a kamikaze country, so let's let our guard down, but in fact, we sent such an unobtrusive character as He Guofu to participate in the competition?"
"The subordinates are incompetent!" the attendant fell to his knees tremblingly, not daring to plead further.
The young man in Chinese clothes looked at the tray on the booth and asked unwillingly, "How many gold coins did we brought?"
"Back to Your Highness, there are 68 million in total!" the attendant hurriedly raised his head and replied when he saw the young man in Chinese clothes asking.
"Well, this time the kamikaze has taken advantage of the territory, and you have misjudged the news, it is estimated that this Shantideva Stone is about to fall into the hands of others! Just use the 68 million to send another favor to the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce!" the young man in Chinese clothes let out a breath and instructed the other attendant.
"Sixty-eight million! Box 14 bids sixty-eight million gold coins!"
He Guofu, who had lost hope, heard the auctioneer's voice, as if he had found the last straw, jumped up from the chair, rushed to Lin Hao, and covered his mouth tightly, for fear that he would ask for another bid.
Lin Hao looked at He Guofu's appearance, and felt more and more interesting about him, pulled away his hand, shook his head with a smile, and said that he would not speak out again.
"Sixty-eight million at a time!"
"Sixty-eight million twice!"
"Sixty-eight million three times, deal!"
As the auction hammer fell, the young man in the Chinese clothes in the No. 14 box seemed to be a little unbelievable to his ears, and asked blankly: "Did we get the auction?"
"Back to Your Highness, you heard it right, the Shantideva Stone is now yours," replied the attendant who was kneeling on the ground as he stood up with an excited face.
"Congratulations to Your Highness, you have successfully obtained the Brilliant Paradise Stone, with the help of this treasure, Your Highness's breakthrough to the imperial level is just around the corner!" several other attendants bowed in unison.
"Hahaha...... It seems that the kamikaze country is nothing more than this, occupying the geographical advantages of the country, and not even being able to take out a mere 68 million, so that the prince will have a false alarm!
"Your Highness, the Brilliant Shan Tian Stone is extremely precious, and there will be many people staring at it, in the opinion of our subordinates, it is better for us to leave and return to Ruijin as soon as possible!" suggested the attendant who had been standing by the window and asking for a price.
After thinking for a while, the young man in Huayi nodded and said: "It makes sense, this prince has broken the face of the kamikaze this time, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be annoyed and angry, and send people to kill people and seize the treasure halfway." In this way, you will have a long night and a lot of dreams, you take the money to get the Globulence Stone back, and we will set off immediately!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" the attendant received the order, took a spatial ring from the hand of the young man in Chinese clothes, and turned to leave.
The young man in Chinese clothes turned to another attendant and instructed: "You take two people to take a step ahead to find out the situation along the road, but if there is anything unusual, use the spirit bullet to warn!"
After receiving the order, the attendant left in a hurry with the two of them, leaving only five people in the room, including the young man in gorgeous clothes, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Brilliant Shan Tianshi.
At first, He Guofu thought about going to Xingyu to ask Xingyu for a reward after the auction, but after Lin Hao tossed it like this, he lost all interest, and ran out of the auction house as if he were running away with Lin Hao.
Lin Hao walked out of the auction house, shook off He Guofu's hand, and said, "City Lord He, you go back first, and I'll go shopping again!"
"Why, you haven't made enough trouble!" He Guofu asked angrily.
"City Lord He laughed, I was delayed by this auction for a long time, and I haven't done anything yet!" Lin Hao replied with a smile.
He Guofu then remembered that Lin Hao's purpose in coming to the Chamber of Commerce was to find something for Chu Tianlan, so he said: "Then you can find it yourself, I won't accompany you!"
Lin Hao looked at He Guofu's respectful and distant appearance, laughed in his heart, and said: "It's okay, I can do it myself, Don't forget to go back and talk to my master!"
"Then I'll go, if you cause anything else, it has nothing to do with me!"
He Guofu said, turned around and left, for fear that he would do something that would damage his heart after staying with Lin Hao for a while.
Lin Hao looked at He Guofu's distant back, and his expression became stern.
At this time, the young man in Huayi and his group of six people happened to come out of the door of the auction house, and walked to the east in a hurry.
The young man in Chinese clothes and his entourage went from the auction house to the east gate of Qingyang, and there was already a person dressed like his attendant holding a spirit horse waiting there. When the man saw the young man in gorgeous clothes, he hurriedly stepped forward to talk.
In the evening, the people who made a supper at the gate of the city had set up a shelf and started business, Lin Hao found a table at random and sat down, asked for a pot of tea, and poured himself a drink.
After talking to the attendant for a while, the six of them turned on their horses and headed southeast.
Seeing this, Lin Hao still tasted the bitter tea in the cup unhurriedly, and glanced at the city with a blank look, as if he was waiting for something.
After about ten minutes, two swordsmen dressed in gray suddenly appeared on the avenue in the city, one old and one young, and they rushed towards the city gate, which were the two people in the No. 1 box in the Galaxy Auction House.
After seeing them, the man pointed to the southeast direction and grunted a few words, and then rode on horseback with the two of them, chasing the young man in Chinese clothes and galloping away.
"Shopkeeper, settle the score!"
Lin Hao looked at the figures of the three of them in the distance, drank all the tea in the cup, threw down a silver coin, and got up and walked out of the city gate.
