Chapter 440 Appetizers
"12.5 billion!" The representative from the Charles Federation raised the price to 12.5 billion. ￥⊙dǐng￥⊙ǎn￥⊙small￥⊙ said, ¤.2←3.⊕o
"12.6 billion!" Godwin of the Silver Eagles silently increased the value by 100 million.
"12.7 billion!" This time it was the Phoenix Empire.
"12.8 billion!" Star Alliance.
...
The numbers on the display of the bidding system are still increasing, and there is a faint smell of gunpowder in the scene. Although the game between countries is rarely emotional, most of the time it is based on interests, but people are emotional animals, and they always There will be likes and dislikes,
For example, the Silver Eagle Group and the Charles Federation, the grievances between the two have gone through more than ten years of precipitation, no matter in the international environment or the domestic environment, they have always been used to blackmailing each other. Godwin of the Regiment and Ptolemy of the Charles Federation, as long as one bids, the other will bid again soon.
Ever since, the on-site bidding circulated in the form of reincarnation, recirculation!
In the end, the price of the 10 Ypsilon relics stopped at 15 billion, which was the price quoted by the representative of the Phoenix Empire.
In fact, this price was nearly 1 billion higher than Tang Fang's psychological expectation.
After all, they are some old foxes in the diplomatic arena. No matter how fierce the quarrel was before and how much they danced, when it comes to serious business, they are still very measured.
Take Star Alliance representative Jonah as an example, 14 billion is his psychological bottom line, and it is also the limit price set by relevant government departments after various considerations.
Unexpectedly, the quotation finally rose to 15 billion, which was more than 1 billion. Even if the Phoenix Empire was the biggest potential enemy of the Star Alliance, he would not continue to increase the price.
These representatives are still very sensible, they must consider the country behind them, and Tang Fang's purpose is only to take advantage of the "dispute among nations" to gain some benefits. 1 billion star coins are enough to buy two Longsword-class frigates, which is already a big profit. What else is he not satisfied with?
A benefit!
If White David knew that 1 billion star coins was just "a benefit" in Tang Fang's eyes, he didn't know how he would feel.
People like him may not be able to earn this amount after working hard for a lifetime.
"Crack!" There was a clean sound of falling hammers from the sound system.
The remains of 10 Ypsilon ruins were finally purchased by the Phoenix Empire at a price of 15 billion stars.
White David twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, the smile on his face was uglier than crying. He suddenly realized a problem. For 15 billion star coins and 10 pieces of Ypsilon remains, what is the unit price of the two pieces of Ypsilon pieces that Tang Fang pre-sold to the "Wanderer Technology Consortium" at a 15% discount?
1.275 billion... This is tens of millions higher than the market price!
At this moment, Tang Fang slowly opened his eyes, smiled at him, got up and walked towards the door of the private room.
White David was stunned, wondering why Captain Tang turned around and left without saying a word, was he going to the toilet?
Claire is learning a dish -- braised lion's head, and Grant has turned the discount page to 15. There are still 30 pages left, and the singing of the Galaxy Demon Girl has long since ended, and there is a kind of "quiet" atmosphere gently rippling in the private room.
White David wanted very much to talk to someone, if nothing else but to break the silence.
The temperature in the room was very comfortable, and the fragrance was wafting in the air, but for some reason, he felt a fire burning in his chest, as if all the oxygen had been taken away.
The silence was finally broken. It was not because of Tang Fang's return, but because the holographic projection equipment in front of the coffee table sent two brand new three-dimensional graphics into White's field of vision.
"Huh?" he exclaimed loudly.
His voice was full of shock and doubt. Because the original wreckage of the Ypsilon ruins in the picture was replaced by two strange things, from the appearance point of view, one of them should be an aircraft, with a simple and unpretentious shape, which looks like a big bug at first glance, and the other is not of the same size. big. It is only at the level of a car, with 4 legs on the lower body and a human-like torso on the upper body. The most striking thing is the 4 light cannons on the front of its arms.
Tang Fang sat back again, still smiling at him. Going back and forth this time makes people feel like a movie is rewinding, and it has a taste of unreality.
The corners of White David's mouth twitched twice, habitually picked up the small square cup, put it on his lips to dip it, only to find that there was no more wine in the cup.
He smiled awkwardly, put down the glass, turned the engagement ring on his middle finger again, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Your?"
"Yes, mine." Tang Fang nodded vigorously.
The handsome assistant gasped, suddenly he didn't know what to say next, how to answer, he still felt that the question just asked was stupid, these two items that seemed to be the complete ruins of Ypsilon, besides Captain Tang, Anyone else have a hand?
"You...you want to sell them?" White David walked to the water supply table next to the refrigerator to get a glass of pure water, drank it up after a while, and then licked his wet lips, asking this sentence with a normal rhythm and tone talk.
Tang Fang shrugged: "Otherwise, why would I make them public."
White David once again felt like he was acting like a fool. He asked the first question very stupidly, and the second question was not very clever. Li Christian's assistant, who has seen a lot of big things in the world, should be more mature and more stable.
Apparently, the copycat Beckham was too demanding on himself. The company representatives in the meeting hall on the first floor and other private rooms on the second floor were all in an uproar. According to the host, the two newly added auction items were complete. The Yipsilon ruins, and these two Yipsilon ruins are not only complete, but also functioning normally.
Of course, since the idea of adding new items for auction was a temporary decision made by the owner of the Ypsilon ruins, the auction house has not received the actual product, nor has it tested its authenticity. Now it is just a pre-sale advertisement, the real auction The session will take place in 7 days.
A complete and functioning Ypsilon ruins, not to mention two pieces, even just one piece, is worth much more than 10 damaged Ypsilon ruins.
The scene suddenly boiled over. The representatives of large enterprises and various countries in the private room on the second floor hated their teeth itchingly. It’s okay to conspire once, but what’s the point of coming twice in a row? It's not enough for everyone to jump into the fire pit once, and they have to jump again. This is simply torture.
Especially Hume James from the Phoenix Empire, whose back molars are almost worn out by him.
Corey Christel knew that Tang Fang had 12 pieces of Ypsilon remains in his hands, but he didn't know that he had 2 complete Ypsilon pieces, and White David didn't know even more. Two unknown technological creations that are constantly rotating, and then look at Captain Tang who is as stable as Mount Tai on the sofa. I couldn't help but shuddered.
He felt that he already had a high opinion of Tang Fang, but he didn't expect that his so-called high opinion was only halfway up the mountain. This kid is too tricky. He used the remains of the 10 Epsilon ruins to throw stones to ask for directions.
Because of the earlier "disputes among nations", the final bids for the 10 pieces of Ypsilon ruins have exceeded the actual value by nearly 1 billion. What about these two complete pieces?
You must know that the wreckage of the Yipsilon ruins and the complete product are two concepts, and they are not the same. The representatives of various countries can still keep calm and restrained in the face of the former, but what about the latter? The auction house has said that they can operate normally. Doesn't the implication mean that humans can activate them, or even manipulate them?
Judging from the three-dimensional model above the holographic projection system, one of the two Ypsilon ruins belongs to an aircraft, and the other belongs to an attack vehicle. Their related technologies are enough to affect the national power of a country. Faced with such a temptation, who would bear ? Who can bear it?
Whether it was White or Old Corey, they believed that Tang Fang was deliberately delaying the time. It was because of the anticipation of disputes among the various countries that they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a small fortune. But now it seems that he has a big appetite. Those 10 Ypsilon ruins were clearly used to whet people's appetite. The real auction items are the two complete Ypsilon ruins that appeared right now.
The air-conditioning system delivered a breeze that was very pleasant on the face, however. White David felt that it was more like a wind than a breeze, enough to kill the bone-eating wind!
Tang Fang stood up, smiled at him, and said, "I saw an acquaintance just now, so I'll take my leave first." After finishing speaking. Turn around and walk towards the door.
Claire closed the webpage first, then closed the PA, got up slowly, and said politely: "Thank you, Mr. White, for your hospitality. Goodbye."
White knew that she was talking about the bottle of whiskey, more than half of which had gone into Howson's stomach.
Grant no longer looked through the discount information. Although he turned over 15 pages, he added almost every item to the shopping cart.
He looked very unhappy, his two eyebrows were twisted together, like old tangled roots, because there were many similar products in the shopping cart, and the price-performance ratio of these similar products was similar, he really didn't know how to choose, At this moment, he suddenly envied some women, because there is an animal in this world called girlfriends.
He looked up at Captain Tang, thinking that the man would not ask for trouble, and then looked at Howson behind him, thinking how stupid he must be to think of that guy.
Tang Fang was in the lead, and Aros was in the rear. It wasn't until the group of people walked out of the private room that White David came back to his senses and got up to see him off. But when he chased outside the door, Tang Fang in the front had disappeared without a trace, only the waitress Ying's charming smile echoed in front of his eyes.
She is a beauty, there is something else in her smile, but he is not in the mood and has no time to deal with her now, White showed an unnatural smile, then ran back to the private room, and called old Corey .
…………
On the 5th floor of the "Starlight" building, there is a very luxuriously decorated coffee shop, which has always been loved by the wealthy wife, and even the wife of old Corey is a frequent visitor here.
Most of the time, this place is a paradise for women, especially women who have no worries about food and clothing, but today, there are a few people sitting at the two guest tables by the window of the cafe, mostly men.
Tang Fang and Claire sat side by side, and there were two cups of fragrant espresso in front of them, but neither of them moved, because they were used to the top-grade coffee given by old Corey, and their mouths were a little tricky.
Looking into the distance from where the two are sitting, you can see the Pinghu Lake at the end of the field of vision, the endless stream of vehicles, and pedestrians hurrying with briefcases or shopping bags in their hands.
There was a kind smile on Claire's face, and two shallow dimples occasionally emerged from the corners of her mouth, which were cute and pure.
Tang Fang's eyes fell on the face of the person directly opposite, his expression was a little sad, a little melancholy, and a little nostalgic.
He never expected to meet them in the "Babylon" star system. It's really an acquaintance in a foreign land, of course. The old friend here is not a creditor.
This person is none other than Philip Eddy, the leader of the business group that he hid with Aros and Howson when he was in Croatan.
As a business group engaged in foreign trade, Philips has a wide range of activities. It is normal to appear in "Babylon", but Tang Fang was surprised that the "Somare" auction house would invite him.
According to Philips' explanation. It turned out that after Marion's rebel army occupied Croatan, Philip's business group got the goods needed by the Duke of Congreve of the United Kingdom of Turanx at almost no cost, and made a lot of money.
After that, he used the money to purchase several cargo ships, and relied on his relationship with the Duke of Congreve to fight in "Babylon". Come here for sale.
The "Sormar" auction house originally invited Fitzgerald, the agent of the Duke of Congreve's family business in "Babylon", and it happened that Philips came to the "Sky Garden" not long ago and urgently needed to develop contacts. To expand his social circle, he begged Fitzgerald to take him to the meeting, so this meeting happened.
When Tang Fang told Philip that the 10 remains of the Ypsilon ruins were from him, and that he planned to form the "Morning Star Foundry", the old man slipped his hand and almost threw the coffee cup to the ground.
His eyes widened half a circle at once, and crow's feet twisted into a bunch of horsetail grass at the corners of his eyes. Even his lips trembled a little, and he didn't know it was because the coffee was too hot. Or it was because Tang Fang's statement was too appalling and frightened him silly.
How long has it been? In less than half a year, the young man who played hide-and-seek with Francis in Croatan had such an ability? Sure enough, the situation is changing, and the times make heroes.
Philips felt that he was old. Before the high tide came, he was beaten to death on the beach by the back waves. No, what kind of wave is this? The young man on the opposite side who is more ǎn than Crotan was simply a tsunami.
What is the extra ǎn? He thought for a while, and soon got the answer he wanted --- grow up!
Philips lamented that the hero was born as a teenager, but Tang Fang only had one emotion. He was very happy, very happy, meeting old friends in "Babylon" is really something worth celebrating, so he invited Philips to the residence for a small gathering.
Because he had a date with Fitzgerald in the evening, Philips had to postpone the party until tomorrow, and then he checked out and went out. When he walked downstairs, Howson snuggled up to Philips and whispered a few words, which made the old businessman burst out laughing. , patted him on the shoulder, got into a taxi, and went all the way.
…………
The "Somare" auction house was very efficient, and the money was transferred to the "Morning Star Foundry" business account in the morning of the next day, totaling 14.98 billion.
The reason why it only took 20 million yuan instead of taking a percentage like other auction houses is because of the relationship of the old Corey, and such a large auction can bring "Somare" a higher reputation.
At the same time, the auction house sent commissioners to check whether the two finished Ypsilon ruins were authentic.
To put it bluntly, the so-called "two complete Ypsilon ruins" are just counterfeit goods used by Tang Fang to fool people. Where is the Ypsilon creation? By.
Even if there is a slight difference in style between the Protoss arms and the creations of Ypsilon, who dares to say that they are not the creations of Ypsilon for such non-human machines with a technological level that surpasses today's hundreds of thousands of years?
So they went back like that, and the two precious "Ypsilon Ruins" were also sealed up by the auction house and put into a warehouse, waiting for the start of the auction in 7 days.
…………
After sending off the staff of the "Somare" auction house, Tang Fangcha Grant went to the "Babylon" branch of the "Wanderer Technology Consortium" to find Corey Christian, and took the two Ypsilon relics The wreckage was transferred to the "Rover Technology Consortium" at a price of 1.1 billion star coins.
After all, old Corey had spent a lot of time and effort in this game, so he couldn't be chilled.
Still the same sentence, Tang Fang has never been a qualified businessman, and he never thought about becoming a qualified businessman. Like many young people, he believes in a principle - how to treat others Me, how can I treat people!
Near noon, Grant finished his work and returned to the hotel.
At this point, the amount on the "Morning Star Foundry" corporate account has increased from 630 million star coins at the beginning to 40.11 billion star coins. Grant felt that he finally knew why the captain rejected Miss Charlotte's kindness, because he did not need!
Now there are 40 billion star coins. If you sell those two "complete Ypsilon relics", with such wealth, are you afraid that you can't afford to build a mere space station?
The smile on the deputy captain's face didn't stay for long, and he thought of another question. Could it be that Captain Tang really planned to sell those two combat machines of unknown origin? Are you not afraid that the countries will use something from the cottage above to deal with people like yourself?
But when he walked into the living room and saw the shameless captain sitting on the sofa staring at Pa while his hands were walking on Claire, he suddenly felt that his worries were so unnecessary. Guy will suffer? Unless men can have children!
The captain may be plotting some kind of conspiracy, planning to rob others, this can be reflected from the "additional auction item event", the ruins of Ypsilon? ... Hehe... Pooh!
