Chapter 216: Phase II
It was early in the morning when they arrived, and the Citadel was not yet at its most active stage of the day. After Shen Chao got off the ship, he first went to a not very famous auction market on the Divine Castle, rented the right to use the venue for a few hours, hired an auctioneer, and then he began to wait.
Before disembarking, he asked Lex to help him get some of the famous arms dealers in the castle, and if some went well, they would be able to sell all the loot in a few hours.
Lex didn't disappoint, and a few hours later, their auction was packed with arms dealers from all stripes of the Citadel, far more than he had imagined.
This was somewhat surprising to the Divine Dynasty, he had already traveled to the Divine Citadel once, and it was hard to imagine how there could be so many arms dealers in the Divine Citadel, which was ostensibly safe.
These arms dealers are also of all races, with the Salareans and Touareg making up the largest proportion. It fully demonstrates that warmongers know no borders or races.
These arms dealers have a wide range of qualifications in the industry, ranging from those who deal only in the legal trade in light weapons to those who specialize in the illegal trade in heavy arms.
Some arms dealers only trade in the Citadel, while others are interstellar arms predators. More often than not, they are small arms dealers who walk in the gray area of the law, and from time to time they will trade in prohibited arms in violation of the law.
For Shen Chao, these people all have a very important characteristic, that is, they are all willing to buy Jace's weapons at a large price.
The frequent activity of the Jace race during this period of time has alarmed many races in the Citadel space, and many governments and defense contractors have sought to purchase Jace's various weapons in order to develop countermeasures.
Due to the large number of potential sellers, but the whereabouts of the Jace fleet are uncertain, and the combat power is very strong. Therefore, the purchase price of Jace Weapons is refreshing upwards every day. There is a strict shortage of demand in the market.
That's why Lex only contacted a few familiar arms dealers, and now the auction room is full. Every arms dealer wants a piece of the deal.
After confirming that the most powerful arms dealers in the Divine Citadel had arrived, Shen Chao and Lex began to prepare for the auction at the pace they had arranged before.
They first took the captured weapons to the auction room one by one and put them in front of these well-known arms dealers, so that these guys could have a close look.
And then. After the clash dealers had taken a closer look at their weapons, the official auction began, and the auctioneer was invited to the stage. Each captured Jace weapon was then put at a floor price, and finally an open bid.
As soon as the auction began, the arms dealers placed bids one after another, auctioning off their loot one by one. Since the weapons are sold in branches. So the later it goes, the more fierce the competition, and the higher the price of the same weapon.
One million, two million...... The cumulative total of the auction continued to increase, and even Lex began to be amazed, and it only took 1 hour. They finished the auction of light weapons.
After the auction of light weapons, they auctioned off Jace's heavy weapons, and since they were still on the castle, the auction of heavy weapons could only be attended by large merchants with heavy weapons purchase licenses, and other arms dealers without licenses could only watch dryly.
Their heavy weapons auction included Jace's individual heavy weapons as well as important accessories from Jace's Colossus. These powerful firepower equipment are especially valuable, because they are very valuable to the armies of all races.
Although there are not many merchants who can participate in the auction. The price tags for these weapons are not as intense as for light weapons. But the price is also much better than they originally expected.
After 6 hours, they finally sold all their weapons, and the profits were surprisingly good. A total of 349 complete Jace individual weapons were sold for a whopping 7.8 million Star Coins. 2 times their earliest estimates. …,
If it weren't for Jace's corpse, which must be handed over according to the rules of the Star Alliance, their transaction volume might even exceed 10 million! At the end of the auction, most of the merchants left disappointed, because they didn't get the weapons they wanted or the amount they needed.
There were also quite a few arms dealers who gathered here. surrounded Shen Chao and Lex, and handed over their electronic business cards one after another. These are well-informed people. Some of them even bribed the Normandy crew who left the ship, and found out that Shen Chao was Shepard's commissioner appointed to handle Jace's loot.
At this time. These active-minded businessmen are thinking the same thing. They had found out that there were several fairly intact corpses of Jace in the booty of Normandy, which were worth much more than those Jace's weapons, if they could be sold......
Of course, after hearing the meaning of these arms dealers' words, Shen Chao expressed regret to them. Saying that he was not authorized Yunyun, he said as he received the electronic business cards of all the arms dealers into his multi-tool.
Looking at the 7-digit number on his universal tool, Shen Chao had to sigh that Shepard was really a mobile vault, and he could turn over whoever he wanted, and he would become rich after a few big fights.
Before this, Shen Chao had also doubted Qian Cheng who followed Shepard, but this auction dispelled his idea. With a large number of newly obtained star coins, Shen Chao went back to the ship directly to report, believing that Shepard couldn't wait to hear the result.
After returning to Normandy, Shen Chao first went down to the second deck and went to the captain's room to find Shepard. However, she was not found there, and after asking the crew of a navigation group, she learned that Shepard was in Lìyala's cabin again.
So he took the infirmary, greeted Dr. Çakovos when he went to the guò infirmary, and clicked the doorbell on the electronic door of the lounge on the upper floor. Lì Yala's cabin was originally intended to be a recuperation room for wounded soldiers.
After the doorbell rang, there was a rolling sound inside, which sounded quite like the sound of getting out of bed in a hurry, hearing this, Shen Chao frowned slightly, which was a little different from what he imagined.
Dozens of seconds later, the electronic door opened, and Shepard greeted him as if nothing was going on, and then asked him if he was done.
Shen Chao noticed Shepard's abnormality after opening the door, first of all, her face was slightly red, obviously she had just experienced a large movement, and secondly, there was a missing epaulette on her clothes, which should have been torn off in the "violent movement". Combined with the voice he had just heard, it was obvious what had happened.
Other than that, Shepard was quite successful in disguise. The whole person really looked like he had done nothing, and the expression on his face was not flawed at all. If it weren't for Shen Chao's excellent hearing, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to determine what happened just now.
"Well, our loot has been sold, here's the list ......" Shen Chao forcibly resisted his surprise and the urge to laugh, and opened his universal tool to explain the task he had just completed.
As he spoke, he looked at Lì Yara behind Shepard, the "young" Asari who looked much more normal, as if he had been knocked into some secret, and looked at Shepard carefully.
: "7 million? Are you sure? After looking at the final sales, Shepard confirmed that this harvest was really beyond her expectations, and with Starlink's funding, God knows when she would be able to fund so many activities.
Shen Chao noticed the obvious change in her eyes, obviously considering whether to sell those Jace corpses as well. Seeing this, Shen Chao lowered his voice again and said the private quotations of several buyers. …,
Shepard raised an eyebrow when she heard the offer, and she neither agreed nor objected. She then lowered her head and paced the doorway with her chin in her hands.
"Agree with their offer, and... You can keep the proceeds of this deal, and you can pay back the money you borrowed......" After obviously a fierce battle of ideas, Shepard finally decided.
She finally decided to put aside the statutes of the Star Federation for the time being, she had realized that her trip to capture Saren would not be easy, and she had to do something beyond the norm with the support of the Star Federation alone, and besides, she was now a ghost, which was not a crime......
After getting her permission, after Shen Chao left Normandy again, as soon as he got off the ship, he contacted several big arms dealers who had left their contact information and made a quick transaction. The 4 corpses of Jace were eventually sold for a whopping 4 million Star Coins. It's worth a lot more than selling Jace's weapons alone.
After completing the transaction, Shen Chao found a hotel in the Circle District and prepared to spend the night. It's already 22 o'clock in galaxy standard time. It's time for a break.
He needed a break after a busy day, and he needed to go back to the base to arrange the next phase of the plan.
Just like the previous time, after checking the security of the room, he launched the crossing in the bedroom of the hotel and made his way back to the crossing area of the second base. At this time, Custer and the others were still waiting for him behind the cover they had set up earlier.
The lights are still bright in the open space of the crossing area. It's like he's never left. After seeing that it was him who came back, the three people who stayed at the base put down their guns.
"What stage is it this time for?" Custer asked, putting down the muzzle. When Shen Chao was not there, he was naturally in charge of commanding.
"In the second phase, we can consider the whole team entering. Shen Chao replied briefly, and as he spoke, he put down the weapons and equipment in his hand.
"Is the whole team in?" Custer continued.
"In the long run, no. We still need a way out. But we can go to the Divine Fort for a day as a team......," Shen Chao replied after thinking about it. (To be continued......)
