Chapter 1309: Bidding
The auction continues!
Even if the stewards of the organizers are usually high-ranking and powerful, they are in charge of hundreds of millions of wealth, but compared with Sissi, they are still different from each other, and now they can take the opportunity to send "Pulp Fiction" to see her, and they are familiar with each other, so there was a dispute, if they didn't remember their identities, they would have to add up their fists and kicks.
"That's enough, send it quickly, don't let His Highness wait for a long time!"
In the end, it was the highest-ranking director who got the opportunity, and he hurried away excitedly.
"Whoa!"
Sissi took the novel, looked at it a few times, and handed it to Downton.
The director saw Homer put the novel away, his eyelids jumped, this is an auction item worth 200 million, His Royal Highness actually said that if you give it away, you will give it away, Downton's shit luck is too domineering.
"How much is 200 million?"
The little girl asked, in her mind, a hundred gold coins was a sky-high price.
"Well, for bacon, you can spread it all over London!"
Hu Tao is not witty, but he doesn't know how to describe it at all, so he simply chooses the stupidest conversion algorithm, but it's very intuitive.
"Huh, so much, how long can you eat it?" the little girl was dumbfounded, and subconsciously muttered, "If you change to black bread, wouldn't it be possible to spread ten layers?"
The little girl's family is relatively poor, and she can eat meat once a year, so she knows that it is a very expensive thing, and she can carry a lot of bread.
"Do you want to be my sister?"
Brown bread is the worst food, mixed with a lot of sand and stones, in addition to being hungry, it is terrible to eat, Elaine remembered that when she was a child, her brother always kept the best for himself, and then nibbled on black bread himself.
"I don't want to leave my mother!"
The little girl knows that she can live a good life with this big sister. But she was reluctant to give up her mother.
"Good boy!"
Elaine stroked the little girl's forehead.
"Your Highness, is there anything I can do for you?"
The main thing brushed with a sense of existence, although he was ignored by Sissi, but he didn't dare to have a trace of dissatisfaction, and still stood respectfully by the door.
Outside the door, there are six secretaries in charge. If they knew that the always strong boss had become so quiet, they would have been surprised to burst into their eyes.
"The sixteenth auction item, the Brilliant Crystal, comes from the Heavenly Plane, it has extremely strong purification powers, can dispel all unclean effects and curses, and can allow the user to directly promote to a large rank, and the combination with the priesthood is even more complementary. It can produce unexpected magical effects, if a pregnant woman takes it, she will give birth to a child, and the divine bloodline will definitely be born!"
Before the auctioneer's words fell, Sissi had already stood up, this crystal, she was determined to get, because it had a miraculous effect on Downton.
The other aristocrats were also talking excitedly. Especially those who don't have a family bloodline, they all expect to be strong with the next generation.
Arguably. This crystal brings a bloodline and an inexhaustible wealth!
What do parents want to leave behind? It's not a lot of inheritance, because the inheritance will eventually run out, what they want to leave to their children and grandchildren is opportunity, a bloodline, which means that even if the family declines. It also has the opportunity to make a comeback.
"The reserve price is one billion gold coins, and each increase is not less than ten million gold coins, and the bidding begins!"
The auctioneer's announcement directly made two-thirds of the nobles in the hall look dead, this sky-high price. They simply couldn't afford it, and just when someone gritted their teeth and decided to vomit blood to make a bid, the Rockefeller family spoke.
"1.5 billion!"
There was silence in the hall, and all eyes fell on little Rockefeller, who greeted the people with his red wine glass, as if the brilliant crystal had been in the bag.
"This pride, tsk, sure enough, hope also needs to be maintained by money!"
The nobles gave up in despair, they should have thought that only wealthy families have the strength to bid for this kind of item.
"1.6 billion!"
Othello spoke, and the White Rose family made a move, which was extraordinary.
"Aren't you bidding?"
Seeing the wealthy families competing with each other, Princess Freya asked Cardinal Mancini beside her, "If you give it to the Holy Maiden, your chances of sitting on the Pope's seat will be a little greater." ”
"Downton's bloodline is the Heavenly Flame. ”
Mancini looked at the box where Downton was, and pointed out everything in one sentence, Downton fought in the east and west, destroyed several countries, and robbed countless wealth, not to mention that there is a free trade zone that is making money every day, and it has only been a few years, which has made him the richest man in the north, and even if he is a poor egg, there is also Sissi.
"Sissi, who is dead set on Downton, will definitely get the Brilliant Crystal at all costs, and I, a poor ghost, should not join in the fun. ”
Mancini teased.
"Three and six billion!"
Little Rockefeller continued to bid, Othello hesitated, there are many treasures that can give birth to bloodlines, he doesn't want to spend too much money, after all, the auction is not even a third, who knows if there is anything better behind.
"Give up!"
Othello nodded at Locke, "Your opponent hasn't made a move yet!"
"I know. ”
Little Locke pouted, and sure enough, the next moment, he heard an offer of four billion.
No one was amazed, because Sissi's local tyrant style has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one dares to call it the first than the wealth of Bavarian roses.
"Four billion gold coins!"
Locke Jr. added.
"Wait, let me do it!"
Downton stopped Sissi and motioned for Elaine to hold up her sign, he didn't look like he was being treated like a soft eater.
"You're too outward!"
Sissi frowned.
"Four two billion gold coins!"
Elaine was very nervous, her voice was a little out of tune, there was no way, she had never crossed so much money, even if the Blood Queen gave her five big cities as fiefdoms, she was still the thrifty girl next door.
"Oops, I forgot, if I raise the price by 10 million at a time, will I shout too much?"
Elaine asked Sissi.
"It's too little!"
As soon as Sissi finished speaking, Xiao Locke shouted a forty-five billion out, "With a wealthy family as an opponent, you have to show the momentum of breaking the boat!"
"Shout five billion!"
Downton wanted a quick fix.
"Duke of Downton, congratulations!"
Locke Jr. gave up and raised his glass to Downton.
"Five billion twice. Is there anyone else bidding?"
The auction prepares for the hammer to fall.
Just when the nobles thought the dust had settled and congratulated Downton, a loud voice resounded through the hall.
"Five and a half billion!"
The nobles turned their heads and saw that it was the blonde Charles.
"Young Master!"
The old butler who followed Charles was startled, the seller of this brilliant crystal was the Stuttgart family, although he turned a few hands to cover it up. But if it is dug up, the reputation of the family will stink.
"What do you know? The value of this crystal to ordinary people is only this number, but for Downton, at least seven billion, I won't let him take advantage of the family. ”
Charles gritted his teeth.
Downton began to raise the price by 100 million 100 million, and Charles chased after it, and soon the number soared to 8 billion.
"Young Master, that's enough. In case Downton doesn't want it, we're going to smash the crystal in our hands. ”
The old butler persuaded.
"No, Downton doesn't, and Sissi, you don't know, Sissi once spent 30 billion to buy a Supreme Ring for him!"
Thinking of this, Charles went berserk with jealousy.
"Why didn't you shout?"
Sissi saw Downton hesitate. Just help him.
"Don't. ”
Downton stopped.
"Why? That crystal helped you a lot!"
The gold is gone, and you can earn it again. But when it comes to Downton's rank, it will be difficult to rise again, and Sissi also wants to see Downton break the record of stepping into the realm of Saint Ao Xun the fastest.
"It's not worth it. ”
Downton shook his head, "I'm not a tyrant, more than eight billion gold coins. It can improve many facilities in the country and make the people's lives better. ”
"My money is yours. ”
Sissi is stubborn.
"Forget it!"
Elaine is also dissuading.
The principal standing on the side was envious, and was in love with Sissi, even if Downton didn't have to struggle. can also reach the pinnacle of life, and others are not as good as him for dozens of lifetimes.
"More than eight billion is waste. Homer teased, "It takes courage to be the boss in front of so many people." ”
"Young master, something is not right!"
Cold sweat broke out on the old housekeeper's forehead, if he bought it himself, the intermediary fee alone would be hundreds of millions, which was a pure compensation.
"Hmph, Downton is cheating. ”
Charles seemed calm, but in fact, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, so he opened his mouth to run, "Downton, this is the essence of a wealthy family, without Sissi, you are nothing!"
"What did you say?"
Hu Tao rolled up his sleeves and prepared to turn out of the box and beat people.
Charles had a middle finger.
"Okay, eighty-five billion, there is a kind of you continue to follow!"
Downton pretended to be vicious and gave a middle finger in return.
"Nine billion!"
Charles smirked, Downton is a muscular, simple-minded idiot, hasn't he been toyed with by himself?
"Ninety-five billion!"
Bang, Downton leaned on the railing with his hands, staring at Charles angrily, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, "Duke Ben has a free trade zone, and he is making money every day, and he is still afraid of you as a slave trader?"
"Who do you say is a slave trader?" Charles was also annoyed, "Ten billion, sorry, more than wealth?
"Okay, then you can buy it!"
Downton shrugged his shoulders and sat back in the box.
"Huh, what's the situation?"
The aristocrats who were waiting to see the show were dumbfounded, and said that they would be good and that they would be grandchildren? Why did Downton suddenly give up?
"You ......"
Charles's hands and feet were suddenly cold, and his body trembled uncontrollably, he knew that he had been tricked, ten billion gold coins, and the commission alone would cost hundreds of millions.
Poof!
The old butler was even more crisp, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted to the ground.
"Check out the seller of that crystal!"
Sissi commanded, she also saw that something was wrong, at first she thought that Charles was deliberately raising the price to find trouble, but now it seems that nine times out of ten it is a trust.
"Aren't you afraid that Marquis Charles won't follow?"
The principal asked interestingly.
"Then I'll buy it!"
If Charles doesn't run Downton, he won't be able to discover the other party's tricks, after all, under the Spiegel, emotional fluctuations will also be revealed.
"Congratulations to the Marquis of Shire!"
In order not to show his flaws, Charles smiled and accepted the compliments of the nobles, in fact, he was already eager to rush up and kill Downton.
"The next auction item can be said to be of immeasurable value, everyone must have heard of guns and roses, it is currently the hottest air transport company on the mainland, and its development is based on airship technology, and now, an opportunity to surpass it has appeared. ”
The auctioneer stirred his lips and tongues, mobilizing the emotions of the nobles, "This is the blueprint of the Warsong battleship, from the highest magical civilization Netheriel, the pinnacle of magic technology crystallization, according to professional estimates, the cost of a Warsong battleship is only hundreds of millions of gold coins, but the income it brings is hundreds of thousands." ”
Wow!
In the hall, there is a lot of discussion, in the past year, the name of Gunhua Aviation has frequently appeared in major newspapers, as the first company to conquer the blue sky, the development of the tourism and transportation industry to the air, it has seized a huge amount of wealth.
Many merchant groups have studied and found that this is a completely new industry, as long as there is an airship, you can join, and in addition to economic interests, there is also great strategic significance, if it is not passengers who are transported, but soldiers, war materials, and even bombing, the consequences are absolutely terrible.
Downton's annihilation of two countries with a warship is the best proof of this.
Only the nine empires have air fleets, and maintaining them requires huge military expenditures, and it is not necessary to deal with second-rate countries, so the fleets are only a deterrent force most of the time, but after the guns came out, countries gradually began to increase their investment in air forces.
"The reserve price is 100 million gold coins, and the price increase is not less than 5 million each time!"
The price quoted by the auctioneer is less than expected, but this is also understandable, and the value of such things as drawings is different when it falls into the hands of different people.
"Do those magic guide technical barriers still exist? with the current technology, it may not be able to restore the Warsong battleship, right?"
Othello asked.
"Rest assured, this drawing is so detailed that even a factory in a second-rate country can build it!" assured the auctioneer.
"Billion!"
Charles couldn't wait to speak, his family made a fortune as a slave hunter, and later operated in the field of land transportation and shipping, so he knew how great a threat air transportation would be to his family, they had asked guns for the blueprints of the battleship at a high price, but unfortunately they were refused.
The princes of the second-rate countries excitedly raised their cards, but then they were stopped by the wealthy nobles who opened their mouths one by one, and everyone wanted this drawing.
"Ten billion!"
Charles bit his lip and quoted the price, his eyes bloodshot, as if anyone who wanted to speak again would rush up and bite like a mad dog.
"Eleven billion!"
Sissi's voice was cold, "Don't think about it, I won't let people threaten my guns!"
"Twenty billion and twenty billion!"
Charles snorted coldly, the quote is the simplest return.
"Ten and five billion!"
Sissi lifted her chin proudly.
"Two tens of billion!"
Charles roared, clutching the bidding cards so hard that he was about to pinch out the water.
The audience exclaimed, this price is the highest today.
Sissi was silent.
Charles originally wanted to squeeze a few words and vent, but when he thought of Sissi's worth, he kept his mouth shut again, and now the most important thing is to get the drawings quickly.
"Let me come!"
Downton wanted to hold up the card, but was stopped by Sissi.
"There's no need!"
Sissi blinked mischievously, Hu Tao was still puzzled, the smart Elaine had already understood that the seller of the drawings definitely had something to do with Sissi. (To be continued......)
PS: I'm really sorry, I have something to do today, so I updated it so late!
