Starting From Zero

Chapter 115 The Darkest Auction

"Take it apart and sell it?" I looked at Su Mei and waited for her explanation!

"It's very simple. Let the people come to bid. When the highest price is determined, the buyer decides how much to buy. If there is any left, let the remaining guilds bid again until they are sold out!"

"What a great idea! That's it!" I finally made the auction plan!

In the following time, everyone was busy with their own things, and Essinger now had a lot of things to do. Managing a city is not as simple as imagined. It is especially difficult for a high-simulation game like "Zero", especially since we are still in the early stages of construction, and this is the most chaotic period! Ying wanted to increase his publicity efforts, so he left Essinger to find Feng Yin Piaomiao. I took Su Mei and a group of technicians to make final modifications to the ship.

When the battleship modification was about to end, Shura Ziyi suddenly ran over. "I just thought of a question. What if the Japanese buy a warship and then attack Isengard?"

"This...! Let me think about it!" I looked at the row of warships parked in the port. It was really a problem. "It seems that we didn't think comprehensively at the beginning! But now that you brought it up, I finally have a solution!"

Su Mei doubted: "You have a way? I can't even think of a way, you thought of it so quickly?"

I don’t even think about what my family does, selling arms! It has become a common practice to leave technical loopholes in export weapons. This fleet is also a kind of weapon, so it is certain to leave a backdoor! "As long as we install explosives in the ship, that's it! We can blow up the battleship if necessary! I heard that Crystal Chocolate has a way to set off explosives from a distance!"

"Then let her come over quickly!"

"You wait!"

Found Crystal Chocolate in the private chat, luckily she was online. A few minutes later she was at our place. "What do you want from me?"

"You have a way to remotely detonate a bomb, right?"

"Yeah! What are you doing?"

"Then help me load these battleships with remote-controlled explosives!"

"Do you want all of these?"

"kindness!"

"Good boy! The project is not small!" Crystal Chocolate looked at the more than 500 battleships. "Tell me where to install it? How much power is needed?"

I looked at the battleship and said: "Put all the explosives into the ballast shaft at the bottom of the ship. It will be more powerful. It is best to blow up the ship in half!" The reason for putting the explosives in the ballast shaft is because hidden! Generally, the ballast shafts of wooden ships are solid, but in order to transport gold, our battleships make the shafts movable. When the explosives are put in and the seals are sealed, no one can find it!

"That's no problem! You can help me with a few people!"

"Okay! But you have to act fast, and you have to install them all before 12 o'clock tonight!"

"Can!"

Crystal Chocolate brought several technicians on board to load explosives, while I continued to supervise the transformation. I was busy until it got dark at night, and basically everyone was off. Only Crystal Chocolate and I were still there. I didn’t need to rest, because she hadn’t finished yet! In the end, she still failed to complete the work at the scheduled time. It was not until after three o'clock that she crawled out of the last cabin with two panda eyes.

"Well, this is the detonating crystal!" She gave me a crystal stone! "When you need to detonate it, just input magic power into it, but this thing has a distance limit and can only be used within 5 kilometers. It won't work any further! Okay, I'm going to get off. I can't do it anymore. I'm about to faint. Got it!"

I took the crystal stone and placed it carefully. This is the guarantee of our safety. Whoever dares to attack us, as long as I get within 5 kilometers, I can blow up all the warships!

The next time was spent in busyness. Everyone was offline. I was the only one. NPCs in the city came to ask me if they had anything to do. I was so busy that I was dizzy! It was hard to hold on until dawn when everyone was online. First, we handed over the work, and then brought a few key personnel on board. This time it was an auction, not a war, and there was no use in large numbers, so I only got 6 people. Su Mei and Rose are the brain trust, so we can't go without them. Eagle is the chief planner, and it won't work without him. Shura Ziyi and Ziyue are responsible for maintaining order at the scene, and they also work part-time as etiquette ladies. Among the female players in our guild, they are the two with the most arrogant equipment! King Chuang is the commander-in-chief of my navy. Although he will soon become a naked man, I still have to take him to sea!

The warships left the port one after another and then reorganized in the open sea. This is not a battle formation, but a new formation based on tonnage, which will be easily auctioned when the time comes! It was only after nine o'clock when we arrived at the scheduled sea area, but there were already many ships waiting there. It seemed that all the guilds were working hard!

We dispersed the fleet, and then let the Biling park outside the fleet as a security guard for the auction. The entire fleet was not equipped with artillery shells, and the Biling must be prepared to deal with emergencies. We allow the guilds that arrive first to visit each warship. Anyway, our warships are very well configured. If they see it clearly, they will be more powerful!

All morning, small warships carrying bosses from various guilds came to participate in the auction. It seemed that there were really many people who were interested! At the appointed time, all the guild presidents gathered on the deck of a special ship, which we specially modified for the auction. It was originally a small civilian ship, and we tore away the superstructure and made room on the deck to install a lot of seats. In order to facilitate the observation of the auction items, we cut off the outer perimeter of the ship's deck and even the guardrails. The entire ship's deck is just a flat plate!

The guilds coming today are not only from Asia, but also from Europe! Although he is not their president, they also sent an agent here, which shows that they are very interested in our fleet! After all the guild bosses sat down on the deck, I roughly counted more than 500 people, which was really a lot! You must know that each guild only allows two people to come up. These more than 500 people represent nearly 300 guilds! Thanks to the demolition of everything on the deck, otherwise there wouldn’t be such a big deck for so many people to use!

When the time came, I walked on deck with a stack of data. Standing on the podium at the bow of the ship and looking down at it, it's really spectacular. Almost all of the more than 500 people below are equipped with top-notch equipment, and they can almost see rare good things. They are all bosses of big guilds!

I softly throated and began to speak. "First of all, welcome everyone. I won't say any more nonsense. Everyone knows the current situation. There are not many warships left in the world. My fleet is definitely the number one fleet in the world, at least in the world. This was what other guilds were like before they built new warships! Therefore, everyone should know their advantages. Now, let me announce the auction rules!"

Hearing me talk about the rules, the people below couldn't help but sit upright.

"Everyone knows the basic rules of the auction. Let me talk about the special rules. Because the auction this time is a battleship, and it falls in this special time period, the price will be quite astonishing. Considering that everyone may not be able to afford the entire fleet, so We decided to sell them separately!" There was an uproar below, but it soon became quiet again. "Look behind me now!" I pointed back. According to the plan that had been arranged long ago, King Chuang commanded the 37 large warships to come from our side and park in front of us.

"As you can see, these are large warships. Our base price is 1 million crystal coins each. There are 37 ships in total! Now you can look to your right!" Everyone immediately turned their heads. A fleet was already waiting. There it is. "These are medium-sized warships. The base price is 700,000 crystal coins each. There are 371 ships in total. Okay, please look to the left again. Here are small warships, a total of 1), each with 500,000 crystal coins. Our shout The price rule is to add at least 10,000 crystal coins to each bid. You can add more at one time, but it must be an integral multiple of 10,000!"

Knocking on the table to get everyone to return their attention, I continued: "Now we will auction the small warships on the left first. These warships are made of high-quality walnut and crystal wood, and each ship is equipped with 840 artillery pieces." In fact, it turns out that These ships have more than just these cannons, but because the power system was removed, part of the gun room had to be restored into a propeller room! "What needs to be mentioned is that the warships we are auctioning this time are equipped with stamped dragon cannons produced by our guild's patented technology. They are more powerful than most artillery in Europe today, and their 'firing' range is up to kilometers. They are more powerful than ordinary naval guns. Large, with a longer range and faster shooting speed, it is definitely a must-have naval gun for burning, killing, looting and traveling at home!"

Suddenly someone below raised his hand, and I had to stop and let him speak. "Excuse me, if the artillery we buy is damaged or destroyed, how can we replenish it?"

"We have brought hundreds of thousands of backup artillery pieces at the back. If anyone is interested, you can buy them back to use as backup artillery pieces, or you can also use them as concealment artillery pieces!" In fact, those were all forced to withdraw from the ship because of the increase in the pulp chamber. The artillery pieces that were replaced from the battleships will have German ultra-long-range heavy artillery in the future anyway. It’s a good idea to sell these outdated gadgets together!

"Understood!"

The man sat back and I continued: "These warships use dual power of sails and oars, and their maximum speed can reach (knots, which is definitely faster than most warships!" These warships were originally pirate ships, and their speed has always been It is much faster than ordinary warships, even without propellers! "And our warships use a large multi-rudder design, which allows the warship to change its course at will during high-speed sailing. It is definitely flexible! Okay, 'sex' That’s all I can introduce, let’s start the auction right away. But before that, I need to say something. The highest bidder does not have to buy all of them. We will let the buyers choose how many ships to buy, and the rest will be re-auctioned. Of course, the guilds that have already bought will Participation will not be allowed. Second-round purchases, but you can participate again when we auction medium-sized battleships! Okay, so many rules, now the auction officially begins. Small battleships, the base price is 500,000 crystal coins, does anyone bid?"

"00,000!" A guy wearing a suit of shining armor raised a sign in his hand. The sign had the name of the guild and the transliteration of the country on it.

"Japan's Inagawa will bid 00,000, will anyone increase the price?" This Japanese is really fucking rich, four times the price!

Feng Yin Piaomiao raised the sign. "2.3 million!" He got a promise from me. No matter what price he offered, I would give him a 50% discount privately. Although it wasn't much, it was a big advantage compared to others!

Before I could shout, another sign was erected next to me. "(00,000!"

")00,000!"

")10000!"

")20000!"

"3.08 million!"

The bids came one after another without giving me a chance to interrupt!

"3.1 million!" Another Japanese raised a sign.

After a moment of silence, I realized that no one was following the bidding this time. I quickly shouted: "The Japanese Black Dragon Club bids 3.1 million!"

"3.15 million!" Feng Yin Piaomiao almost shouted through gritted teeth!

The Japanese looked at Feng Yin Piaomiao, but did not continue to bid. I quickly shouted: "China's Hot Blood Alliance bids 3.15 million, is there any higher price?"

There was still silence below. I continued to shout a second time, but still no one answered. "Hot Blood Alliance 3.15 million for the third time. Do you have any bids? Okay, deal!" I hit the table hard with the small hammer on the table. "How many do you want to buy? There are 1) small battleships in total!"

"I want them all!"

I was a little surprised, 1) He has a big appetite! "1) Battleship, each costs 3.15 million crystal coins. You need to pay a total of 406.35 million crystal coins! To show the generosity of our company, oh no, our guild, we decided to give away 100 rounds of cannons!" After I finished speaking, I told Feng Yin Piaomiao in a private message while the procedures were going through. "I'll give you a 50% discount. The total is 386,032,500 crystal coins. I don't want any fraction. Just give me 386 million crystal coins!"

Feng Yin Piaomiao replied: "You are really a vampire!"

A voice suddenly interrupted the private chat. "Stop talking, this is already a discounted price!" The voice came from Hongyue. She was sitting next to Feng Yin Piaomiao. Feng Yin Piaomiao must have shared the private message with her!

It was rare that Hongyue actually spoke for me, so I said cruelly: "Let's do it! It's easier for you, I can get it for 380 million!"

"Hey! Thanks!" A contract appeared in front of Feng Yin Piaomiao and I. Of course, only the two of us could see it. After we all confirmed separately, the transfer was automatically completed immediately. Although you have to pay a lot of fees to apply for the auction notarized by the system, the transfer is convenient and safe!

Feng Yin Piaomiao smiled and said: "But it's a comparison, I won't use my sister to repay your favor!"

"What did you say?" Hongyue and I shouted at the same time, but the sound soon disappeared.

Feng Yin Piaomiao was making fun of us. "Yo yo yo! You're talking to the outside world when there's nothing wrong? Ouch yoyo! Don't pinch, don't pinch!" It seems that he has learned a lesson!

I closed the private chat and continued: "Okay, everyone, please pay attention, we are now starting to auction medium-sized battleships! Most of the data of this model are the same as that of small battleships, but the number of guns is larger. After all, the ship is bigger! This type of battleship The number of artillery pieces is 1,400, and other data have not changed. The base price is 700,000, start bidding!"

"3.5 million!" This time it was Hongyue who shouted!

"4 million!" Dizzy! They didn't let me interrupt again!

"4.1 million!"

"4.4 million!"

These people are shouting more and more crazy prices!

"Five million!" It was the price shouted by the guy from the Black Dragon Club again!

Hongyue glared at the guy. "5.1 million!"

"50,000!" The guy from the Black Dragon Club calmly shouted the price.

"Okay! The Japanese Black Dragon Club is 5.11 million once. Is there anyone else bidding?" I saw that no one continued to shout, so I started counting the times! After three consecutive no-bids, it was finally decided. "There are 371 medium-sized warships in total. How many do you want to buy?"

"300 ships!"

"Yes! Three hundred medium-sized warships, each with 50,000 crystal coins, a total of 1.56 billion crystal coins! We will also give away 100 rounds of shells for each cannon!" Hehe! 1.56 billion crystal coins! Japanese people make comfortable money! I don’t know if I blow up all the battleships after the transaction is over, and the Black Dragon Society representative who came to call out the price will have a heart attack, but I guess if he had a heart attack, Matsumoto Masagi would definitely not be able to escape!

After two comparisons of business, 1.94 billion crystal coins have been obtained. Although the taxes have not been paid yet, there will be no less left in the end. This time it will be distributed!

"Okay, the next auction is for the remaining 71 medium-sized warships. Can the Black Dragon Club participate in this part of the auction? Okay, please ask other guilds to bid!"

"4.5 million!" Hongyue shouted in one breath. No one bids again, the decision is made just once!

"Okay, how much do you want?"

"We want all 71 ships!"

"Okay, 71 ships, 4.5 million each, a total of 319.5 million crystal coins." He quickly opened the private chat. "I'll give you a 10% discount. I don't want any change. 280 million is enough!"

Hongyue only replied lightly: "Thank you!" She didn't say anything else!

We have now obtained 2.22 billion crystal coins, haha, far beyond expectations!

"The auction below is the last large battleship. Because of its huge size, each of this type of battleship has 1,800 cannons, and they all have the ability to equip magic crystal cannons, so they are the most powerful battleships. The base price is 1 million. Now please bid!”

"5.5 million!" Hongyue shouted the price again!

"6 million!" This time it's the Black Dragon Society!

"7 million!" A strange voice appeared, and it turned out to be an American!

"8 million!" The Korean guild offered a sky-high price!

"8.5 million!" Americans shouted again!

"9 million!" Daochuan Hui, who had been silent for a long time, finally got angry!

"9.01 million!" Hongyue squinted at the guy who was bidding. She was obviously raising the price on purpose.

But that guy from the Inagawa Club seemed to be on stimulants. "9.5 million!"

"9.51 million!" Hongye looked at the guy provocatively again.

I quickly called Hongyue in the private chat. "My aunt, please don't disturb the situation. What do you want me to do if he lets me go?"

"Hmph! If you dare to shout, I will give you money! Even if it is not enough now, I will find a way to pay it back!"

Anyway, I am ready to smash these warships into my hands. This red moon is deliberately causing trouble!

"10 million!" That guy from the Daochuan Society was snorting from both nostrils like a bull!

"100,000!" Hongyue shouted, and I even started to sweat!

"13 million!" Fortunately, the guys from the Inagawa Club were also a little out of control!

"15 million!" Hongyue made up her mind and thought no more!

The guy from the Daochuan Association stood up with a red face and a thick neck. After holding it in for a long time, he suddenly said: "One million! I want them all! That girl over there, I'm warning you, don't compete with me. I will dare to add you no matter how much you shout." !”

Hongyue also stood up provocatively. "30 million!"

I fell to the ground with a plop, Oh my God! What is this for?

"31 million!" The Daochuan meeting is even more abnormal than Hongyue!

"40 million!" Hongyue looked at the representative of the Daochuan Association without blinking.

"41 million!"

Hongyue shouted again before the guy finished his voice. "80 million! Do you want more?"

"You...you...you...!" Boom! That guy from the Inagawa Club fainted!

This scene is unexpected! 80 million? It's obviously not the actual price, but Hongyue shouted it out, I can't do it without showing off! "Okay, the Goddess Alliance from China bids 80 million for one ship. Is there anyone who wants to bid again?"

As expected, no one dared to speak out, and Hongyue was finally hit. "There are 37 large warships in total. How many do you want to buy?"

"One ship!" Hongyue still has some sense at least. Although she really wants to say one ship, it would be embarrassing if she didn't buy more if she raised the price just like that. Now she just wants to save face and suffer the consequences!

"Okay! A large warship, 80 million each, a total of 1.6 billion!" I quickly connected to the private chat. "It's you who shouted the price. You have to take responsibility. I won't make it difficult for you. If you give me 1 billion, I'll be fine!"

"Humph!" Her only one-word answer was spoken through her nose!

Continue with the auction below. "There are still 17 warships, please continue to bid!"

The guy from the Inagawa Club suddenly got up from the ground. He was obviously pretending just now. He is such a cunning guy. "8 million!" He shouted out the price, it was so low!

I looked at Hong Yue. He was pinching Feng Yin Piaomiao next to him, as if he wanted him to do something. In the end, Feng Yin Piaomiao seemed to give in. He shouted: "Millions!"

Hongyue couldn't raise the price herself, but she let Feng Yinpiaomiao continue to shout!

The Japanese at the Inagawa Society seemed unaware that anyone else dared to bid. "30 million!" Feng Yin Piaomiao shouted tepidly.

"45 million!" The representative of the Daochuan Association shouted the price with a smile on his face. He obviously planned to raise the price one last time and then withdraw. He was obviously trying to harm Feng Yin Piaomiao. But when he looked at Feng Yin Piaomiao, he found that Feng Yin Piaomiao did not continue to bid at all! The representative's forehead immediately began to sweat, and his voice was wrong! "Why don't you shout!"

Feng Yin Piaomiao said slowly: "Why do I shout when I can't afford it?"

I quickly shouted: "45 million once!" The final decision was made three times in a row. As a result, we underestimated the shamelessness of the Japanese. Unlike Hongyue, who is shameless and suffers, the Japanese have no shame at all. The guy from the Inagawa Society directly shouted out that he would only buy one boat, which made the whole audience burst into laughter! Korean players simply shouted: "Beggars can pretend to be wealthy!"

In the end, the Japanese only bought one ship, and the remaining 16 ships were purchased by the Americans for 15 million! In other words, these 17 ships sold a total of 285 million crystal coins. Excluding the 1 billion from Red Moon, I received a total of 2.405 billion per ship, which was already far beyond the budget. After that, we continued to sell the cannons in stock, and hundreds of thousands of cannons were snapped up. Because the battleships are equipped with such guns, the guilds that have not bought a ship want to buy some guns for self-defense! A total of 690 million more cannons were sold, which means that we sold a total of 3.095 billion of these arms, not including the 1 billion from Hongyue!

Just when the happy Japanese were about to leave, I suddenly shouted: "The crew can evacuate, they belong to others!" Then the people of the Inagawa Society and the Black Dragon Society were dumbfounded as they watched hundreds of warships run away. No one is left!

The people from the Black Dragon Society held it in for a long time before they finally said, "Didn't you sell the crew as well?"

"Hey! Did I say that the crew members are also included?" See how I kill you!
