Chapter 246

The nobles in the major cities of the Ilus Empire suddenly found that, as if overnight, the price of magic crystal had completely collapsed.

Not only those merchants in the market are selling magic crystals, but also the largest shippers, the Kadir family, are crazy in their warehouses around the world. This situation not only did not allow speculators to take the opportunity to enter and sweep goods, but caused a chain reaction, and the market crash was faster.

"Have you heard? Master Jean of silver city has made a technological breakthrough, so the demand for magic crystal has greatly decreased!"

"Really?"

"Of course! That's why the market is saturated and the price is bloody, because it can't be sold!"

"The Kadir family monopolized the Magic Crystal Trading in the Ilus empire. More than 90% of the magic crystals are sold to the silver city. Now the silver city does not need to import magic crystals from the Ilus empire. It is estimated that the Kadir family will be miserable."

"Ha, of course, the Kadir family can't sit still. I dare say that selling and clearing is only the first step. Then they must find a way to deal with those magic crystal mines. Now for them, those mines are a burden."

"Aren't you going to take the opportunity to start a mine?"

"I don't have that spare money. Besides, the price of magic crystal is so low now. What if I buy the mine and lose money?"

"Also..."

Rumors in the market always spread quickly. Before Frank's decision came out, those who had a sensitive sense of smell had already noticed the future wind direction. Therefore, when Frank's people invited those people to participate in the auction, many people were as expected.

Even though they had no intention of buying the mine, Duke Frank still wanted to give face, so they still dressed up and attended the mine auction that day.

Familiar imperial nobles greeted each other with hypocritical smiles, carefully covered up the greedy and * * * * eyes of their female partners, maintained their so-called noble identity, and carefully tested the ideas of others

Aurelia, who attended the evening dress, was filled with disgust when she saw those people. In the years when she became a "night song", she had seen too many dirty faces of the nobles. Aurelia had no good feelings for them, whether public or private.

In private, Aurelia is a girl with rebellious character, otherwise she will not become a famous "night song". She knows all the dirty things that the nobles do in private. How can she have any good feelings for them?

Yu Gong, the aristocrats overhead the power of the royal family, forcing the Ilus royal family to choose the road of reform. When the royal family is unwilling to protect the interests of the aristocracy, the two sides are no longer a community of interests, but an enemy.

However, she is a princess after all. No matter how disgusted she is, she will look like a princess - not to mention that the annoying guy is right behind her. How can he underestimate himself!

"What's the matter?"

Fiona, who accompanied Donne to the scene, noticed that Donne's mood was a little strange.

"Nothing, just feeling... Well, it should be an illusion."

Donne touched his nose. He just seemed to feel a familiar smell - it seemed to be from the night song - but on this occasion, even the bold night song, he didn't dare to break in openly?

"Welcome! Welcome, Baron Donne, who is this?"

"My friend and my financial assistant, Ms. Fiona."

"Hello, Ms Fiona."

Fiona smiled very gracefully, but took Donne's arm and didn't speak.

In fact, she is now trying to restrain her emotions and clinging to Donne's arm.

The Kadir family is one of the leaders of the aristocracy, that is, they also "contributed" to the collapse of the golden rose family.

Frank was originally squinting. When he deliberately piled up a smiling face, it was even more exaggerated. He could hardly see his eyes, but because of this, people couldn't figure out his idea.

Frank said with a smile, "I didn't expect Baron Donne to accept our invitation."

"Of course."

Donne deliberately smiled bitterly and said, "the cadier family has a big business. I can't see this business. Ellington is so poor and so many people expect me to eat, so I have to gamble."

Frank's eyes flashed: "but don't you know the market situation of magic crystal, Baron Donne?"

"It's because I know that I need to bet."

Donne had no choice but to show up: "if the market hadn't collapsed, I wouldn't be able to enter the market."

"Yes, I hope Baron Donne will be satisfied."

Frank smiled and left.

"Princess Aurelia is all right, but who is that young man? He can let grand duke Frank meet him in person."

"You don't know him? Lord Ellington, Baron Donne!"

"Ellington? Where?"

"To the west of the mountain city of bein, cross the hills of ladia."

"There is territory in such a remote place!?"

"Of course! And now the Datang chamber of Commerce, which is in the limelight in Alex, is the industry under his name!"

"Datang chamber of Commerce! No wonder!"

Donne ignored the discussion and watched Frank leave.

Fiona suddenly said, "he's suspicious again."

"Normal. How many fools can sit in this position?"

Don said casually, "but it's so far. It's no use for him to regret it."

Frank found Charles who was busy.

"Things have changed."

"What do you mean?"

"I still don't think it's quite right... Modify the auction number. It's meaningless to keep small mines. It's too risky to keep large mines. We should keep at least one medium-sized magic crystal mine in our hands."

Frank frowned: "even if the market continues to collapse, we can do it later. Although we know victor and they are calculating us and forcing us to make this choice, now I always feel that there is something wrong. It is likely that we lack any information."

"Then... I see."

Charles quickly revised the document.

"For the time being."

Frank said wearily, "no matter what the truth is, they should open their cards after the auction. Let me see what Victor wants."

With the guests in place, the auction finally officially began.

Aurelia and Donne looked at each other, and they nodded slightly.

"Lord, how much do you think we can win this time?"

"Don't eat them all. Don't forget that we don't have gold coins. Aurelia is with us. She carried them in an accident."

Donne whispered, "take all the mines with her as much as possible, and then distribute them."

Fiona nodded slightly to show understanding.

On the stage, as the representative of the cadier family, Charles had begun to speak with a smile. After blowing a lot, he entered the topic.

"... therefore, we decided to give profits to everyone, open the huge magic crystal market, let everyone enter it together and make money together."

Hearing this, those people under the stage couldn't help sneering at themselves. Who doesn't know the price of magic crystal has collapsed. Now they're in a hurry to find their next family to trap people.

The main purpose of their coming here is to see who will be willing to become the catcher and take over the mess from the Kadir family.

"Today, our Kadir family decided to auction the ownership of 14 magic crystal mines owned by the family. According to the size of the proved reserves, the starting price ranges from one million gold coins to 50 million gold coins. I hope you can do it as appropriate..."

Fourteen magic crystal mines?

Donne, Fiona and Aurelia frowned and subconsciously exchanged eyes.

Before, the cadier family owned eight small mines, six medium-sized mines and two large mines. After Donne blackmailed a large mine, there should be fifteen more mines. In other words, Frank didn't auction all the mines?

Without giving them time to think, the auction has begun.

First of all, small mines were auctioned, and the price jumped from one million gold coins, but

"One million gold coins. You only need one million gold coins to own the ownership of this magic crystal mine. What are you hesitating about? Don't start now. After this opportunity, there will be no chance to start again!"

Even though Charles was sweating anxiously above, the people under the stage were still indifferent, waiting to see the play one by one.

Fiona pursed her lips and whispered, "what a pity... But it's great."

Smiling don shook his head: "what he said is the truth, but only we know that this is the huge benefit brought by the inequality of information."

Charles shouted several times on the stage, but no one spoke. Just when he was helpless, a voice suddenly pulled him out of despair.

"A million."

"A million! Baron Donne offered a million!"

Charles almost loved this damn Ellington hick for a moment!

"Is there anyone else? Is there anyone else to bid? The proven reserves of this mine are amazing, and the total potential value of complete mining is at least ten million gold coins. Isn't anyone excited?"

Beckoning? Heart has a fart.

A group of people laughed at themselves. Even if the potential value is high, there must be a market to sell. The silver city doesn't accept goods. Where to sell?

Only the hillbilly Baron from Ellington can't wait to have some fixed investment to stabilize his value.

If it hadn't been for him, I'm afraid today's Kadir family mine auction would have become a joke in the aristocratic circle.
