Chapter 141: Overwhelming people with power
"I'm going to take pictures of these two Dark Elves!", from the moment he first saw it, Al made up his mind, unless he desperately didn't, go deep into the underground of the Titan Mountain Range, this is the only chance he has to get access to the Dark Elves so far, he has many questions to ask them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Dark Elves used to be an offshoot of the Elves, and the Elves were the only long-lived race known to the El, and he had many questions that only the Elves could answer him, such as what happened in the War of the Five Kingdoms? Why did a genius mage like Vladimir Conrad disappear, not only in the history books, but also in the collection of the Mage Guild? What was the Holy Cult all about, and why did it suddenly rise like a reply? And what exactly happened to the so-called elven invasion and the dark elf war, and what happened back then? Since there is no record in the history books of mankind, only elves in this world may know the answers to these questions.
Just when he was slightly stunned, the bidding meeting had already started in full swing, although the starting price was also a million, but it seemed that it was completely impossible to stop the enthusiasm of these rich people, and the price soon climbed to two million gold coins, until this time the bidding began to slow down, and at this time the host was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Two million gold coins. Al casually tapped the long table in front of him, calculating how much cash he could come up with now. Unlike most of the current aristocrats, he is very concerned about the finances of the Western Territory Trading Company, although he has not yet reached the level of personal accounting, but every month he will convene all the treasurers to take inventory, although he has not formed a strict financial system like those large companies on the earth, but he has basically achieved the money and goods, and the income and expenditure are accounted, which is already very remarkable in this era.
Therefore, although he does not personally intervene in the operation, he has a good understanding of the specific situation of the commercial bank, and the commercial bank has always been excellent in terms of money turnover. It's just that if he suddenly withdraws two million gold coins from the cash flow of the trading house now, it will inevitably affect the daily operation of the trading bank, if the final price is too high, even if he can get the money, he must not bid arbitrarily, you must know that although this trading house is in charge of him, it is not his alone, if it is only to buy two dark elves. How do you want him to explain to Governor Sasha? These are all things that must be considered.
"It looks like we're going to have to use a shameless approach. But Al immediately came up with a solution, but it didn't sound good for the reputation.
Thinking like this, he was about to speak, but suddenly heard someone shouting, "Two million gold coins." This voice is not as old or full of energy as the previous voice shouting, but very young. This made everyone very surprised, thinking that such a young man with such a large sum of money could call the shots, and why did he not call out his number? The voice did not come from around the booth, but from a circle of boxes above, which made the businessmen who knew the details a little suspicious.
The bidder did not stop after the offer, but continued: "I'm Barton van der Vaart, as you must have heard, from the Van der Vaart family. I love these two dark elves, and I hope you can give the Van der Vaart family a face, so I thank you all in advance. Although the words in the mouth are very polite, the arrogance in the sentence can be felt by everyone even if it is separated from the box, and what he said is to give my Van der Vaart family a face, but everyone heard the meaning: no bid to have face, if you bid with this Barton van der Vaart, then the Van der Vaart family will not make people have face.
Al slapped the table excitedly, he almost rushed to the guy's box to give this Barton van der Vaart a hug, this Barton did the idea that Al just thought of: to oppress people with power, with the noble has always been obscene, can't cover the group of rich people who are auctioned below, and although this auction is an anonymous bid, everyone only bids by number, but the "goods" of the auction are two big living people, and they are not antique treasures, which can be hidden, can these two dark elves still be hidden? After a long time, clues will always be revealed, and when the time comes, will the businessman who was photographed still be able to abandon the career of Shenghui City and flee to other places?
All of these businessmen present were all elite and scheming, otherwise how could they run a huge business? All the above-mentioned things were clear in the blink of an eye, and for a time the originally lively auction scene became much quieter, and no one bid anymore.
Marshall gritted his teeth with hatred, this situation has also occurred in auctions before, some shameless nobles directly shouted their identities, resulting in no one daring to bid, some of the bids that could have been auctioned at a high price ended up being unattended, and could only be sold at the bottom price, these nobles are simply eating his flesh and drinking his blood, but he has to always greet him with a smile, and every time there is a major bidding meeting, he will send an invitation one after another against his will, and he does not dare to miss a family, so as not to be resented by these nobles, it is like losing his wife and offering his daughter, what is the reason!
At this time, the host of the auction had already shouted the countdown for the first and second time, and everyone thought that the two dark elves were going to belong to this Barton van der Vaart, and when Al was about to bid, an offer came from another box: "Two million and 110,000 gold coins, number six." Although he can occupy a private room exclusively, this person must also be noble, but he refuses to report his home, but quotes his bid number.
"Who is it that is going against our Van der Vaart family!", an angry gnashing of teeth sounded, the boiled duck flew, this one must be very uncomfortable, in his opinion, deliberately adding only 10,000 to his price, that is deliberately humiliating him, humiliating the Van der Vaart family.
"I can only scare and scare these dirt buns. A lazy voice came, "The Van der Vaart family, such a big tone, it sounds like Grievous." But I think about it, to participate in the round table, there is no Vandervaart name among the six families of the Violet Oath?"
As soon as this sentence was uttered, Barton van der Vaart immediately lost his voice, listening to this person's tone, it seemed that he did not take the Van der Vaart family in his eyes at all, and at this time he was full of smugness and arrogance just now, but panicked all day long, and at this time his mind was full of only one thought: "It's over, I have caused trouble for the family, this time I really kicked the iron plate." Thinking about apologizing to that person, but I don't know which family he comes from, is he going to raise his hand to surrender if he doesn't even know his name, and he has caused an indelible shame to the family in front of everyone, and his identity as the heir of the family will definitely be deprived, and he may even be expelled from the family!
