Chapter 129: Auction
There was a whisper in the audience, and many people had incredible expressions on their faces, and their eyes were full of surprise when they looked at Xu Yi.
This Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually took out 500,000 gold coins in one go!
What's even more surprising is that what he took out was actually a super-large golden ticket issued by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce!
You must know that the Chimera Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce on the Sainz continent, and it is not easy to get their recognition to issue you a golden ticket, and it is even more difficult to get the Chimera Chamber of Commerce to issue such a large golden ticket.
Although the chambers of commerce where these people present are not weak, most of them used the golden tickets issued by the Lampari Commercial Bank opened by the royal family of the Lampari Kingdom when they paid the deposit just now, or directly used some contract bonds as collateral, and only a few chambers of commerce took out the golden bills issued by several other recognized and authoritative chambers of commerce, including the Chimera Chamber of Commerce.
In the eyes of everyone, having a golden ticket issued by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce is itself a proof of status.
And with the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is no such qualification at all under normal circumstances.
In addition, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually paid a deposit of 500,000 gold coins in one go, which proves that Xu Yi actually intends to participate in the competition between the two mines.
With the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, being able to compete for one of the smaller mines is already incredible, let alone competing for two!
But the reality is in front of us, but everyone can't help but believe it.
Watching Xu Yishi Shiran walk off the stage, President Morgan narrowed his eyes slightly.
From the five oversized golden tickets issued by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce. He smelled something unusual.
These two iron mines that the Falcao Chamber of Commerce is aiming to obtain may have some variables.
Soon. The representatives of the Chamber of Commerce who participated in the auction paid the deposit one after another, and everyone was shocked. According to the number just announced by the host, the 38 chambers of commerce that finally participated in the auction were 38 chambers of commerce, and if the deposit was counted, the host had now received a huge amount of more than 10 million gold coins.
It is no wonder that the outside of the banquet hall has long been protected by heavily armed soldiers, and no idlers are allowed to approach.
That's more than 10 million gold coins! That's enough to drive most people crazy!
Soon, in the excitement and nervous anticipation of everyone, the host announced the official start of the auction, and the auctioneer invited by the Earl of Satsuma from Anweimar City appeared.
"No. 1 mine, the starting price is 500,000 gold coins. The minimum markup is 5,000 gold coins, and we are ready to go!"
After the gavel in the hands of the auctioneers fell, several chambers of commerce could not wait to report the figures.
In just a few moments, the auction price rose from the reserve price of 500,000 gold coins all the way to more than 600,000 gold coins.
At this time, the enthusiastic scene in the banquet hall can be regarded as subsided, and the sound of bidding has stopped a lot.
"Seven hundred thousand gold coins. A voice suddenly sounded, and the hall instantly turned into silence.
Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction where the voice came from, the last bid just now was only 610,000 gold coins, and this guy actually directly added 700,000 gold coins, there is something wrong with it, right?
After seeing the crowd of people bidding. But everyone was stunned.
Of course, the Falcao Chamber of Commerce will be determined to win these two mines, and President Morgan directly increased the price by a large amount, which can be regarded as showing everyone's determination of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, this price is already sky-high. But it still couldn't frighten people, and after a moment of silence in the hall, someone soon shouted the price of 710,000 gold coins.
More than the price of 700,000 gold coins. It made many chambers of commerce hesitate.
Such a large amount of money is by no means something that can be taken out lightly.
But the hesitation only lasted for a moment. It soon became clear to them that the smaller of the mines was now being auctioned. The price will obviously be lower.
If you can't even take this mine, then wouldn't it be even less extravagant to have a second, bigger mine.
As a result, although the outcry is no longer as enthusiastic as before, it has never stopped.
The bidding went up again, and soon approached the 800,000 gold mark.
In everyone's opinion, 800,000 gold coins can actually be regarded as a very suitable price for this iron mine.
Beyond this price, even if you can still get a lot of income from it, but compared with the subsequent input and output, it can no longer be regarded as a special profit.
Of course, there are people who are attracted to the benefits, so there are still many representatives of the Chamber of Commerce who are moved and ready to raise the price again.
But then, President Morgan spoke again.
"Nine hundred thousand gold coins!"
The banquet hall fell silent again.
The crowd looked at President Morgan with amazement.
No matter how much you Falcao Chamber of Commerce want this iron mine, you won't increase the price like this, right?
If you don't open your mouth, forget it, as soon as you open your mouth, you will increase the price of 100,000 gold coins, which is clearly to tell others that you are determined to win.
It should be said that this bidding strategy of President Morgan is not uncommon.
When bidding for a particularly popular and highly competitive auction item, this practice can directly scare off many lucky people and save a lot of trouble.
However, after showing his determination in this way, it is very likely that he will encounter a deliberate price increase.
Whether it is a pro or a cons is actually difficult to predict.
The hall was quiet for a while, and just as the auctioneer was about to open his mouth to confirm, someone raised the price again.
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand. ”
President Morgan looked in the direction where the voice sounded and found that it was the president of the Leo Chamber of Commerce who Xu Yi and he had seen just now who shouted the price.
The eyes of the two collided, and President Morgan sneered and said loudly: "One million!"
Some representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, who were still hesitant to speak, involuntarily closed their mouths.
Everyone looked at President Morgan and President Brno with some excitement.
Judging from the current situation, this auction may have become a wrestling place for these two people.
Sure enough, after hearing President Morgan's bid, President Brno did not hesitate at all. Immediately shouted: "One hundred and fifty thousand." ”
President Morgan paused for a moment, then immediately followed: "One million thousand." ”
"One hundred and fifty thousand. ”
"One and a half million. ”
......
After the two have met several times. The bidding has exceeded 1.5 million in the blink of an eye.
Everyone in the hall almost held their breath and did not dare to speak.
No one thought of it. The mine, which has a starting price of 500,000 yuan, will eventually soar to as much as 1.5 million!
Even if all the chambers of commerce present are powerful, for any chamber of commerce, if they want to come up with a huge sum of 1.5 million gold coins, they need to be carefully considered.
Even President Brno couldn't help but change his face after hearing that President Morgan quoted the sky-high price of 1.5 million gold coins without hesitation, and hesitated again and again before gritting his teeth and shouting "1.51 million".
Hear the number. Everyone in the hall sighed involuntarily.
In the past, when the two of them were bidding, they both increased the price of 50,000 gold coins at a time, but now President Brno only added 10,000 gold coins this time, which shows that he has no confidence in his heart, and this bidding is just a fluke, and betting on President Morgan has also reached the limit.
However, President Morgan sneered at President Brno, and directly shouted out 1.6 million!
Meeting President Morgan's cold gaze, a few drops of cold sweat broke out on President Brno's forehead.
He wanted to add another 10,000 to try, but he was afraid that President Morgan would suddenly give up.
If this is the case, it means that the Leo Chamber of Commerce will buy the mine for a sky-high price of 1.61 million gold coins.
Although the Leo Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as the largest Chamber of Commerce in Saltan City. However, it cannot be compared with the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, which is considered the top in the Lampari Kingdom.
Really took out 1.61 million gold coins in one go, which was definitely nerve-wracking for the Leo Chamber of Commerce.
The mining of iron ore also requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the investment is huge.
Because of its main business in minerals, the Falcao Chamber of Commerce has long had extremely rich mining experience. Mining an extra iron ore mine is just a common thing for them, but it's not the same thing for the Leo Chamber of Commerce.
Compare it. The Falcao Chamber of Commerce's income from mining this iron ore is definitely far greater than that of other chambers of commerce, so President Morgan will increase the price again and again without blinking an eye.
Seeing President Brno's face struggling. President Morgan sneered again, turned to the auctioneer on the stage, and said, "Can you time the time?"
The auctioneer glanced at President Brno. Seeing that he didn't react, he raised the gavel in his hand and said loudly: "One million six hundred thousand ...... for the first time"
"Wait!" President Brno suddenly raised his hand, stopping the auctioneer's movements, and then stared at President Morgan fiercely, before squeezing a few words out between his teeth. "One million six hundred and fifty thousand. ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
In the past, President Brno only added 10,000 gold coins when bidding, but this time he actually added 50,000 in one go.
What does he want to do?
Could it be that the Leo Chamber of Commerce is as eager for this iron mine as the Falcau Chamber of Commerce?
President Morgan glanced at President Brno and also unexpectedly called out the number "one million six hundred and sixty thousand."
Seeing that President Brno hesitated for a while, and there was another move to increase the price, President Morgan glanced at him with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice: "President Brno, do you Leo Chamber of Commerce really plan to fight with our Falcao Chamber of Commerce to the end? I think I need to remind you that even if this iron ore is sent to your Leo Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that you will not be able to mine half of the iron ore." ”
This time, not only President Brno, but also the rest of the hall were strange.
President Morgan's words were clearly an implicit threat.
But everyone had to admit that his threat was only likely to become a reality.
The Falcau Chamber of Commerce controls almost all the miners in the Lampari Kingdom, and as long as they say a word, I am afraid that none of the miners will dare to work in the Leo Chamber of Commerce.
In that case, even if the Leo Chamber of Commerce gets its hands on the mine, it will be difficult to mine it.
And even if you find a way to pick it up, I'm afraid it's not so easy to sell it.
The expression on President Brno's face changed several times, but finally he sighed and lowered his hand.
Seeing him give up, everyone couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
The first auction ended with such a result, so the second auction was just afraid that no other chamber of commerce would dare to compete with the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.
This auction is actually settled.
President Morgan gave a triumphant smile and turned to look at the auctioneer on the stage.
The auctioneer is naturally also a master of observing words and feelings, and when he saw the situation under the stage, he did not hesitate to raise the gavel again.
"One million six hundred and sixty thousand for the first time...... 1,660,000 second ...... One million six hundred and sixty thousand third ......"
Seeing that the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"1,800,000!" (To be continued......
