Chapter 1309 Bidding(2/2)
Downton shook his head, "I am not a tyrant. I have more than eight billion gold coins. I can improve many domestic facilities and make the people's lives better."
"My money is yours."
Sissi is very stubborn.
"never mind!"
Elaine is also discouraging.
The principal standing by was drooling with envy. Being loved by Sissy, Downton could reach the pinnacle of life even without struggling. Others who had been around for dozens of lives were not as good as him.
"More than eight billion is a waste." Homer joked, "It takes courage to be taken advantage of in front of so many people."
"Master, something's not right!"
The old housekeeper was sweating on his forehead. If he bought it by himself, the agency fee alone would be hundreds of millions. This would be a pure loss.
"Huh, Downton is cheating."
Charles seemed calm, but in fact he was feeling uneasy, so he said, "Downton, this is the foundation of a wealthy family. Without Sissi, you are nothing!"
"What did you say?"
Hutao rolled up his sleeves and was ready to get out of the box and beat someone up.
Charles gave a middle finger gesture.
"Okay, 8.5 billion, if you have the guts, keep following!"
Downton pretended to be vicious and gave him the middle finger in return.
"Nine billion!"
Charles smiled proudly, Downton was just a muscular idiot with a simple mind, wasn't he being manipulated by him?
"Nine and a half billion!"
Bang, Downton leaned on the railing with his hands and stared at Charles angrily, with veins popping up on his forehead, "This Duke has a free trade zone and makes a lot of money every day. Why am I afraid of you, a slave trader?"
"Who are you calling a slave trader?" Charles was also annoyed, "Ten billion, sorry, compared to wealth? I also have a lot of gold coins!"
"Okay, then you can buy it!"
Downton shrugged his shoulders and sat back in the box.
"Ah? What's going on?"
The nobles who were waiting to see the good show were dumbfounded. What had they agreed to fight to death? Who would not be their grandson? Why did Downton suddenly give up?
"you……"
Charles's hands and feet suddenly became 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.
Plop!
The old housekeeper was even more decisive. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted to the ground.
"Go check the seller of that crystal!"
Sissi ordered, and she also saw that something was wrong. At first she thought that Charles was deliberately raising the price to cause trouble, but now it seems that it is most likely a trap.
"Aren't you afraid that Marquis Charles will not follow?"
The boss asked in a playful manner.
"Then I'll buy it!"
If Charles hadn't run against Downton, he wouldn't have been able to discover the opponent's little tricks. After all, under the mirror, emotional fluctuations will also show up.
"Congratulations, Marquis Charles!"
In order not to expose his flaws, Charles smiled and accepted the compliments from the nobles, but in his heart he already wanted to rush forward and kill Downton.
"The next auction item can be said to be of immeasurable value. I believe everyone has heard of Guns N' Roses. It is currently the most popular air transportation company on the mainland, and its development is based on airship technology. Now,
An opportunity presented itself to transcend it."
The auctioneer moved his lips and aroused the emotions of the nobles, "This is the blueprint of the Warsong Battleship. It comes from the highest magical civilization Netheril and is the crystallization of the pinnacle of magical technology. According to professional estimates, the cost of a Warsong Battleship is only a few hundred million gold coins.
, but the benefits it brings are hundreds or thousands of times."
Wow!
Discussions arose in the hall. In the past year, the name of Guns N' Roses has frequently appeared in major newspapers. As the first company to conquer the blue sky and develop the tourism transportation industry into the sky, the wealth it has gained is huge.
Many business groups have studied and found that this is a brand new industry. As long as you have an airship, you can join. In addition to economic benefits, it also has great strategic significance. If it is not passengers, but soldiers, war supplies, and even
It was a bombing, and the consequences would be absolutely terrible.
Downton destroyed two countries with battleships, which is the best proof.
Only the nine empires have air fleets. Maintaining them requires huge military expenditures, but it is not necessary to deal with second-rate countries. Therefore, the fleets are mostly a deterrent force. However, after the emergence of Guns and Roses, various countries gradually began to increase the use of their air forces.
Invest.
"The base price is 100 million gold coins, and each increase will be no less than 5 million!"
The price quoted by the auctioneer was less than expected, but this is understandable. Things like drawings have different values in the hands of different people.
"Do those magical technical barriers still exist? With today's technology, it may not be possible to restore the Warsong battleship, right? There are many words on Wuyou Novel Network"
Othello inquires.
"Don't worry, this drawing is very detailed. Even a factory in a second-rate country can produce it!" the auctioneer assured.
"One billion!"
Charles couldn't wait to speak. His family made its fortune as a slave-catching group, and later its business areas were land transportation and shipping, so he knew what a huge threat air transportation would be to his family. They once offered Guns N' Roses at a high price.
The drawings of the battleship were unfortunately rejected.
The princes of the second-rate countries raised their placards excitedly, but then they were silenced by the wealthy nobles who opened their mouths one after another. Everyone wanted this blueprint.
"Ten billion!"
Charles bit his lip and quoted the price. His eyes were bloodshot, as if if anyone opened his mouth again, he would rush forward and bite him like a mad dog.
"Eleven billion!"
Sissi's voice was cold, "Don't think about it, I won't let anyone threaten my Guns N' Roses!"
"Twelve billion!"
Charles snorted coldly, an offer is the simplest reply.
"Fifteen billion!"
Sissi raised her chin proudly.
"Twenty billion!"
Ciel roared and squeezed the bidding card so hard that water would come out of it.
Everyone in the audience exclaimed that this price was the highest today.
Sissi was silent.
Charles originally wanted to say a few words and vent, but thinking of Sissi's worth, he shut his mouth again. The most important thing now is to get the drawings quickly.
"let me!"
Downton wanted to raise his sign, but Sissi held his hand.
"That's not necessary!"
Sissi blinked her eyes mischievously, while Hu Tao was still confused. The smart Elaine had already understood that the seller of the drawing was definitely related to Sissi. (To be continued...)
