Chapter Forty-Six: Strange Numbers

Therefore, in the anticipation of more than 80 bidding groups, the auction officially began.

As mentioned earlier, there will be neither a price tag nor a small wooden hammer. Each team that intends to participate will hand over the sealed envelope that has been prepared to Liji on the spot.

Among them, there is a stack of jade seals and a stack of Ten Commandments. Because in fact, many people simply paid a deposit of 100 million euros to watch the excitement, so in fact, there are not many people who really participate. The jade seal handed over seven envelopes, while the Ark of the Covenant handed over fifteen.

It is worth mentioning that, basically, those who compete for the jade seal of the country are all Eastern countries, while those who compete for the ark of the covenant are all Western countries. But both sides of the H country handed over the envelope, apparently believing that their country had legitimacy over both the Eastern and Western worlds.

This move attracted all the representatives at the scene to scold.

Liji walked to the side of the jade seal first, opened the envelope on the spot, and quoted the competitor's offer. The first is the Yue country that followed the island country to join in the fun.

"Vietnam, 4.5 billion euros. ”

There was a low laugh at the scene, which provoked the Vietnamese delegation to look at them angrily.

This is not a high price, and it even quadruples the record for the highest price at auction in the world. Yue Guo is not without hard work, they really want to get the jade seal. In order to get more say in the sphere of influence in Southeast Asia.

Their officials, with all the idle funds on hand and a large number of mineral resource certificates, have formed a 5 billion euro capital pool.

But after all, the strength of the country is too weak, and all the people present are the capital tycoons from all over the world, and 5 billion euros to buy the orthodoxy of the Eastern world? Even the bigwigs of the West will laugh when they hear it.

Li Ji waited a few seconds to make sure that the Vietnamese representative had no objection to her offer, and opened the second envelope.

"Temasek, €23.3 billion. ”

Temasek is a long-established company in Po Village, and although it is rarely mentioned on social media, it is a leading player in the global shipping industry.

The company occupies the key points of Malacca, monopolizing more than 60% of the world's ships and more than 50% of the world's shipping routes.

Pocun itself has little demand for heirloom jade seals, but since there are many Chinese descendants in the country, the people are interested in this historical treasure. That's why Temasek is offering funding to participate in the auction on a symbolic basis. The purpose is to show the strength of Banpo Village internally and externally.

Their representative was a man with a red and black face, and after confirming the offer of 23.3 billion euros to Liji, he smiled apologetically at Colonel Wei Kaicheng.

Colonel Wei Kaicheng nodded and signaled to receive it. The two run on the South China Sea all year round and are old acquaintances. But now each has its own country and its position is different.

"Country H, the offer is 47 billion euros, but the offer is invalid. ”

After opening the third envelope, Liki announced with a blank face.

"Why!"

The representative of country H took the case and rushed to the crown angrily, showing the momentum of reprimanding his subordinates in the company on weekdays. But because he was beaten by Colonel Wei last night, his blue nose and swollen face at this time were very unconvincing.

"We have a pool of 47 billion euros, why do you say it's invalid!"

"Because you bid for the ark of the covenant at the same time, is your offer in that envelope zero dollars? I can open it now. If the pool overflows, please make up for it immediately. ”

In fact, both offers in country H are 47 billion euros. They felt that it was a huge sum of money, and both sides could try their luck. In any case, the auctioneer did not stipulate that a pool could not be subject to two bets.

If you are lucky and both sides win the auction, then country H can also use the rules to transfer it to those forces who particularly want it. This time you may be able to catch a treasure for nothing, and some will make a profit.

"You don't have to worry about this, who stipulates that a pool of funds can't bid for the jade seal and the ark at the same time. The representative of country H arrogantly mocked, "You are just a part-time worker, do you have the right to speak!" Ask your boss to come out and explain!"

That's how the country likes to mess around. Internationally, they can sometimes take a small advantage because of this style. But here in Liji, here in Sun Xiang, his set doesn't work.

Liki did not get angry in the face of the shouting of the representative of country H, but just signaled to the guards who maintained order in the venue, and ordered, "Throw him out." ”

Four men with guns stepped forward and held the man down.

At this time, the entire H country bidding group was gone, and there were more than 30 of them in total, and they let go of their voices and shouted. People in this country are already very loud:

"Protest!

"It's unfair!

"The organizers don't follow the rules, no matter what the result is today, our country H will definitely not accept it!"

They shouted and even began to agitate the other delegations next to them to protest together. The guards tried to stop them, but as soon as their hands touched them, that person immediately fell and rolled on the ground.

More than 1,000 people in the audience frowned when they watched the giant baby performance of the delegation of country H. Whatever the case may be, it's a shame.

Liki lost her patience and pressed the headset to say a few words. In less than a dozen seconds, Gru rushed in with a dozen of his men, each holding a strangely shaped gun. At the forefront was Gru.

"Huh, the organizers still dare to openly shoot?" The representative of country H came to his heart, and he finally got his wish to make things bigger.

He pointed at the strange firearm, straightened his waist, and shouted to the delegations of the whole hall: "Have you seen it! This is not an auction at all, but a conspiracy." It's a trap, they want to snatch all our money and wipe us out!"

This statement inevitably made others on the scene suspicious, after all, everyone is a civilized person, and they participate in a civilized auction, and the one with the highest price wins.

It is understandable that the organizers have deployed a lot of additional defense forces for the sake of safety. But if it is just because of a battle of words, it is too much to shoot the VIPs who participate in the auction.

Everyone will be worried about their own safety, and even more so about the safety of the auction pool.

Gru, of course, saw the situation in his eyes, he laughed, and shouted in a huge voice that everyone could hear: "Catch it all, I like this statement!"

After saying that, Gru pressed the launch button on the representative of country H.

A large net erupted from the barrel of the gun and fell from the sky, knocking down the entire representative of country H into the net.

Other subordinates also launched explosion-proof nets one after another, and in less than two rounds of shooting, the entire H country auction group of more than 30 people was really wiped out. They cursed and tore wildly in the net, trying to get rid of it. However, this kind of explosion-proof net is specifically aimed at these diehards, but the more they struggle, the tighter they get.

In the end, only the mouth was left to move.

Then Gru ordered them to be gagged, and it really all stopped.

With a wave of her hand, Gru and her men dragged two nets and dragged all the members of the H country auction team out of the venue. I didn't know how many tables, chairs and steps I bumped into along the way, and the people in the painful net snorted again and again.

It's just that no one sympathizes with them now, and the behavior of country H bidding for the jade seal and the ark of the covenant at the same time is annoying.

The auctioneer used non-lethal weapons such as explosion-proof nets to quickly deal with the riots, and this civilized and bold style made many people present admire. If you put yourself in the same position, it seems that you can't do better.

Sure enough, the mysterious and low-key power that can take out the jade seal of the country and the ark of the Ten Commandments should not be underestimated. Such a shrewd and capable housekeeper (Liji), such a strong and meticulous guard captain (Gru), can only be possessed by a hidden family with a long history and profound heritage!

Seeing that the riot subsided, Liji smiled and told the audience a big truth: "If it weren't for so many people watching, I would have thrown them all into the sea to feed the fish." ”

There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience, and everyone listened to Liji's big truth as a joke. Who could believe that such a beautiful lady could do such a cruel thing.

"My host, is a peace-loving person. Liji looked sweetly at Sun Xiang in the front row, and the head of Sun Da also smiled and nodded at her. The small estrangement between the two because of Yu Xiaoyue was resolved in this slight smile.

Liggie continued: "What he likes most is that everyone is like a truly civilized person, friendly to each other, polite, and behaves according to the rules. ”

"Then let's move on. Huaguo bidding group, quotation ...... 170 billion euros. ”

It's a staggering number, and the scene is full of gasps.

Huaguo, it is so tyrantic!

Some people just stood up!

Haha, of course, it was some small forces that were shocked, and the bigwigs in the front row were silent. Huaguo's offer was not unexpected by the bigwigs.

In fact, the pooling of funds of the parties is not too much of a secret.

It is impossible for such a large sum of money to be hidden in a computer case, and its source must be from the income and expenditure accounts disclosed by all parties. As long as there is a will, there are traces of how much money has been roughly withdrawn by all parties.

Lightning is also using the same method to monitor the capital movements of the five major shareholders of Luhe. If there is a huge injection of money from the United States, then the identity of the internal traitor can be determined. However, so far lightning has not found anything, and perhaps the answer will not be revealed until the temporary replenishment of the pool.

In recent decades, Huaguo's national strength has been booming, especially the strong rise of Luhe Group, which has enabled Huaguo to achieve a decisive victory over the United States in the new energy revolution. Therefore, it is reasonable for Huaguo to come up with such a huge amount of wealth to bid for national treasures.

What everyone is really uncertain about is the offer from the island country.

"Next, the offer of the island nation ......"

Liji opened the envelope with her hands, and Wei Kaicheng in the audience licked her lips a little nervously.

Before coming, the analysis team had already concluded that the size of the island country's capital pool was between 140 billion and 190 billion, which was almost the same as China's capital pool.

It's not that Huaguo can't come up with more money. It's just that Shangfeng thinks that it is not too cost-effective to buy a symbolic antique with more money. After all, it is more affordable to spend money on improving people's lives and national defense, what do you do when you buy a big seal of an ancient emperor, do you really use it to stamp documents?

Another reason that made Wei Kaicheng nervous was the rules of bidding in this auction, which was the so-called "the highest bidder wins, pays the second highest price".

So far, the highest price has been 170 billion euros for Huaguo, and the second highest price has been 23.3 billion euros for Temasek. In other words, if there is no change, then Huaguo only needs to pay 23.3 billion plus 1 euro to bring home the important weapon of the country that has been lost for many years.

The price is quite affordable, and it's a bonus.

But if the island country quotes a price of 150 billion euros, then although the heirloom jade seal still belongs to China in the end, the price to be paid becomes 150 billion euros.

That's disgusting!

Just thinking about it, the final bid price of the island nation was quoted:

"Island country offer...... 11270420 euros. ”

The audience was in an uproar.
