Chapter 260: Auction of Qingyang Mountain

Three days later, the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Canxing Auction House.

The auction hall, which can accommodate more than 1,000 bidders, has only a few hundred people seated today.

But this is only a few hundred people, which basically represents the current top level of the great powers in the Qing State.

Unlike normal days, there is very little whispering between each other in today's auction room, and most people are sitting upright and waiting.

Soon, the time came to nine o'clock in the morning.

Amid the sound of footsteps, more than a dozen people entered through the back door of the auction hall and came to the presiding stage.

Walking in front of more than a dozen people was Su Can, the owner of the Canxing Auction House.

Behind him were the five big sword kings, as well as the young Huo Yuanjia.

Further behind are Hartung, Luo Jialing, and more than a dozen beggar gang cronies.

"You've been waiting for a long time! Today's auction is presided over by me. ”

Su Can came to the middle of the auction hall and stood down, glancing at the crowd in the audience.

There was a slight commotion in the audience, and most of the people who participated in the auction straightened their bodies, their eyes focused on Su Can.

"The auction target, I think everyone knows it. This auction is the 20-year mining right and forest right of 'Qingyang Mountain'. ”

Su Can put his hands behind his back and announced loudly.

He was a little nervous now, according to Meng Chen's explanation, today's incident was his last plan in the Demon Capital.

Once that's done, he'll be able to leave the place.

Putting it on the back burner, he still felt very reluctant to leave the glamorous Demon Capital. But now, since Meng Chen personally entered the palace to assassinate Cixi, he couldn't sleep well every day, and he couldn't wait to leave the demon capital and leave the Qing Kingdom as soon as possible.

Although it turned out that Meng Chen's predictions were all right, and no one associated Cixi's death with him, he just didn't know the bottom in his heart, and he felt uneasy every day.

On the other hand, others may not know, but he Su Can knows it like a mirror in his heart.

Where are there diamonds in Qingyang Mountain?

There is no hair!

......

After Su Can announced, the audience was immediately silent, and everyone paid attention to the auction host.

"Ahem...... cough dryly, cleared his throat, then turned his head and took a small box from the hand of the big sword king Wu and opened it, and then said: "This is the Qingyangshan mining rights document and the transfer document, if you are not at ease, you can let people come over for identification." ”

There was another commotion in the audience, and thirty or forty foreigners stood up one after another, and brought their cronies to the side of the host platform to line up.

The document appraisal inspection lasted another twenty or thirty minutes.

After that, the men returned to their seats and sat down.

"Since everyone has already checked the documents, then let's talk about the ugly things in front, if there is a conflict between the transfer of mining rights and the yamen, our Canxing Auction House will not be responsible at all!"

Su Can closed the box and glanced at the audience.

There was another whisper in the audience.

This matter has actually been mentioned in the auction invitations sent to the leading figures of various countries, but such regulations still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the great powers to participate in the auction.

Su Can felt a little incomprehensible about these. But he also wants to open it now, anyway, what his cousin tells him to do, he just does what he does.

"Mr. Su, let's announce the starting price!"

The audience shouted loudly.

"Okay! Now I announce...... The starting price of Qingyangshan's 20-year mining rights and forest rights is ...... Three tons of gold, or the equivalent of silver!"

Su Can didn't say anything more, and announced directly.

"Boom!"

The mood of the auction house exploded all at once!

"Three tons of gold?"

“......”

"This Su Can ......"

......

This starting price directly surprised all the foreigners in the entire auction hall, and the titanium alloy dog's eyes crackled to the ground.

Not too high, but too low!

It is as low as the value of twenty or thirty larger "real diamond" diamonds.

Now not only the people of Dongying have received the information that Su Can is mining in Qingyang Mountain, but it can be said that the leaders of the great powers who have some channels have learned the fact that Su Can's diamonds came from Qingyang Mountain in one way or another.

Of course, they didn't do it as thoroughly as the Dongying people, and they personally sent people to sneak in and see it with their own eyes.

"Is this Su Can a fool?"

"Well, doesn't what he did before prove that he's a fool?"

"This person's IQ is a bit up and down, especially in terms of management, he really doesn't understand anything!"

......

The foreign devils in the audience had different thoughts, but most of them laughed at Su Can in their hearts.

At the same time, this starting price also immediately detonated their enthusiasm for participation.

"Four tons of gold!"

Immediately a white man stood up and exited to bid.

"Hahaha......"

Inside the auction hall, there was a burst of laughter.

"Well, that's good! This gentleman's bid is also counted in the bidding! Now, the auction begins!"

Su Can nodded directly in approval of the white man's offer, and then announced the start of the auction.

"Five tons!"

Immediately, someone raised their hand to participate.

Since the hosts of the auction house have approved it, others naturally don't mind, and it is the right thing to participate in the bidding as soon as possible.

"Six tons!"

"Six-and-a-half-ton!"

"Seven tons!"

"Seven points a ton!"

"Seven and a half tons!"

......

Quotes quickly more than doubled and are still rising.

"Eight tons!"

"Eight and a half tons!"

"Eight-six-ton!"

"Eight-seven-ton!"

......

After more than eight tons, the offer was a little more cautious.

"Ten tons!"

A voice rang out from the right side of the auction floor.

Everyone in the audience shook slightly, and most of them turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from.

"Dongying people ......"

I saw that the person who quoted the price of ten tons of gold was Nakata Sniper from the Dongying Consulate.

"Ten tons of gold! This gentleman has bid ten tons of gold, is there anything higher?"

Su Can's voice was slightly excited, and his eyes glanced at the others in the other auction halls.

"Ten points a ton!"

An old man sitting in the corner drooped his eyelids and said lightly.

"Huh!"

Including Su Can, everyone on and off the stage once again saluted the old man.

This person, Su Can also already knows his information.

A member of a diamond family from the West.

"Eleven tons!"

Before everyone could see the old man's appearance clearly, Nakata Sniper on the other side had already opened his mouth to quote again.

"Eleven a ton. ”

The old man of the Diamond Family still drooped his eyelids, looking weak.

However, the quote in his mouth is still shocking.

"Eleven and a half tons!"

Another voice, for the first time, is also involved.

Sassoon & Co. ......

The people who spoke this time basically knew the leaders of the Demon Capital.

"Eleven six tons. ”

The old man of the diamond family did not hesitate, and the price was increased by 100 kilograms each time.

"Twelve tons!"

Nakata Sniper's third exit bid is still with an indomitable momentum.

"Thirteen tons!"

A new voice joined.

"Americans ......"

This time it was a young man who exited, but only a few people knew him.

"Thirteen points a ton!"

The old man of the diamond family still exports to keep up.

"Fourteen tons!"

Nakata's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the newly emerging young man.

The young man shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak again.

It seems that he only plans to bid this time, catch it when he catches it, and stop playing if he can't get it.

"Fourteen and a half tons!"

Sassoon & Co. continued to bid.

"Fifteen tons!"

Nakata gritted his teeth.

"Fifteen a ton!"

"Sixteen tons!"

"Sixteen a ton!"

"Seventeen tons!"

"Seventeen points a ton. ”

......

After that, only the old man of the diamond family and Nakata Sniper remained.

Neither Sassoon nor the young American spoke.

"Twenty tons!"

Nakata stood up abruptly and raised the price by a big cut again.

"Wow!"

There was an uproar throughout the auction room.

Dongying people have always been low-key in the magic capital, but I didn't expect this time to be so atmospheric.

"Made, the little devil is a hook!"

Su Can's palms were sweating slightly, and his heart was excited.

"This gentleman has bid twenty tons of gold, is there anything higher?"

Although he was excited, he did not forget his work, and while continuing to ask for the price, he glanced at the corner of the auction hall from the corner of his eye, intentionally or unintentionally.

There, a gray-haired middle-aged man sat quietly.

"The price is too high!"

On the other side, the old man of the diamond family muttered a sentence and stopped bidding for exports.

They have also investigated Qingyangshan, but the specific situation is not clear, compared with the large diamond mine discovered in Africa more than ten years ago, the auction price of Qingyangshan is now a bit high.

Although it seems that the diamond reserves in Qingyangshan are larger and easier to mine, this old man no longer wants to take risks.

"Twenty tons of gold for the first time!"

Su Can announced as he glanced at the gray-haired middle-aged man again, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Twenty tons of gold for the second time!"

Su Can's eyes drifted away and announced for the second time.

"Twenty-one tons!"

After his eyes left, the gray-haired middle-aged man spoke lightly.

"Boom!"

The auction house immediately boiled.

Most people didn't expect that when the price came to this, there would still be people who dared to compete.

On the other side, Nakata Sniper also frowned and glanced deeply at the gray-haired middle-aged man.

But he just glanced at it, and immediately turned away.

In the midst of the faint notice, Abner, the owner of the 'Britannia Auction House', who was sitting in the middle of the crowd, made an OK gesture towards Nakata Sniper.

On the other side, the owner of Sassoon & Co., as well as the owner of the "Caesar's Auction House", nodded lightly to Nakata Sniper.

"Twenty-two tons of gold!"

Nakata breathed a sigh of relief and immediately bid loudly again.

"Twenty-three tons!"

"Twenty-four tons!"

"Twenty-five tons!"

......

In the exclamations of the crowd, Nakata Sniper and the gray-haired middle-aged man were inseparable.

"Twenty-nine tons!"

"Thirty tons!"

......

Nakata Sniper soon raised the offer to the thirty-ton mark!

The gray-haired middle-aged man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Nakata.

Nakata's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

"You're amazing!"

The gray-haired middle-aged man's mouth moved, and he nodded to Nakata without making a sound.
