Chapter 247

The auction went on steadily, but the eyes of those present were more and more strange.

There were hundreds of imperial nobles present, but none of them raised their cards.

Only Baron Donne from Ellington raised his cards frequently.

Does he want to show his financial strength deliberately and make a name for himself in Alex, or is he really optimistic about the future market of magic crystal?

But on second thought, they couldn't help laughing again.

Can the vision of a hillbilly Lord compare with that of grand duke Frank who has been in this business for decades?

Whose vision is more trustworthy, the answer is obvious.

As the auction went on, eight small mines and three medium-sized mines all went into Donne's pocket.

There are still two medium-sized mines and one large mine.

"The Arcelor magic crystal mine, which is located to the east of yarinks, is a medium-sized mine. The quality of magic crystal is quite high. Even compared with large mines, it is no less... The starting base price of Arcelor mine is 10 million gold coins!"

Ten million gold coins!

Everyone present couldn't help taking a breath of air-conditioning. Before, there were millions of gold coins. This time, it suddenly jumped to tens of millions. Even for them, 10 million gold coins may be their income for several years. This kind of business must be cautious again and again.

Will Baron Donne of Ellington continue to fight?

A group of people watched the change.

The venue was silent.

Charles looked forward to Donne, but Donne didn't raise his card at all. His face became a little pale.

In fact, those before were appetizers. The three mines behind, two medium-sized mines and one large mine are the really important big heads!

But Charles thought about it and understood why Donne didn't raise his cards.

Obviously he has no money.

In the previous auction, Donne has spent 20 million gold coins. Even if his Datang chamber of commerce is making money every day, even if he has rich background, it is impossible for Donne to make so much wealth in such a short time.

These 20 million gold coins are likely to be all his wealth.

But who else would be willing to buy if Donne didn't raise his cards?

Charles is in a hurry.

Frank is in a hurry, too.

Originally, he expected that Donne must have something to do with Victor, so he had a backhand for the magic crystal mine. He would certainly buy all the mines without hesitation, but now the really important mines have appeared, he stopped.

This made Frank feel that his judgment was wrong.

Did they not cooperate? Donne just wants to take the opportunity to get in?

"Ten million, ten million gold coins, no bid?"

Charles didn't give up. In order to sell as soon as possible, the price was very low. If it couldn't be sold, it would be a big joke.

After repeatedly bidding, when Charles desperately thought he was going to shoot, a clear voice suddenly sounded.

"Ten million."

Charles was stunned and looked at Aurelia strangely.

"I said, ten million."

Aurelia's voice was clear and sweet. She frowned when Charles stared at her: "Marquis Charles?"

"... oh... Oh!"

Charles looked back and shouted in surprise, "Princess aurelia, 10 million gold coins! Who else is bidding?"

Princess Aurelia!?

There was a commotion in the meeting place.

Frank's face sank slightly. How could she bid?

Aurelia will come. Frank just thought she appeared on behalf of the Royal attitude, but he didn't expect her to bid!

Is Victor crazy?

Frank doesn't think so. He must not be stupid to become an emperor and persist for so many years in the face of the overhead of aristocracy.

So, with a tight Treasury, he did not hesitate to save valuable military expenses, but also wanted Princess Aurelia to buy the mine. What was his intention?

What is missing? What information do you lack?

Why did Donne and Aurelia buy the mine?

"Princess aurelia, could you please answer our doubts?"

A noble couldn't help asking: "we all know that the price of magic crystal is closely related to the city of silver. In the next days, the market will inevitably collapse. Now investing money is just floating. Why do you buy a mine at this moment? Does your majesty Victor know some insider information we don't know?"

His question made everyone present applaud!

Due to the question of identity, Aurelia had to answer his question positively, but could not avoid it. Moreover, his last question was very tricky and vicious, which pushed Victor's Royal faction to the opposite of the nobility at once.

Aurelia stood up unhurriedly and said faintly, "you are the pillars of our Ilus empire. You have supported this country..."

"Poof..."

A group of people looked at Donne.

"Well, sorry, I can't help it. Please continue."

Donne covered his mouth with a strong smile.

Aurelia tugged at the corners of her mouth and had a little more affection for Donne. She continued: "The Kadir family is also one of the pillars of our empire. As we all know, we Ilus royal family have always trusted them. In order to repay their dedication to the Empire, the royal family handed over the imperial property, that is, the magic crystal mine, to the Kadir family for mining, and the royal family only collected a small amount of tax."

"Now, due to the collapse of the magic crystal market, the Kadir family has given up the right to save the market and continue mining. Then his father, his majesty Victor, as the king of the Empire, must take his own actions in order to save the market."

"Since the Kadir family has given up the mining right, as the representative of the royal family, now I will represent the royal family to recover the mining right of the mine. Of course, our Ilus royal family is reasonable. In order to compensate the Kadir family, we will recover the mine at the current price."

pretty

Donne cheered secretly. Although it was just a few simple words, Aurelia inadvertently changed a concept - transformed the private mine of the cadier family into an imperial one, and just gave the mining right to the cadier family - so now the cadier family has given up the mining right, the royal family has come forward to recover the mining right, and has paid for it. They have nothing to say, public or private.

Rescue the market?

Frank and Charles frowned. They always felt a little wrong, and Aurelia's words were also a little wrong.

What the hell exploitation right is clearly won by the ancestors of the Kadir family in the distribution of interests after the war. The ownership belongs to the Kadir family!

But... It's no use saying that now.

Now that the auction has come to an end, it can only continue now.

After Aurelia answered, she motioned Charles to continue.

"Ten million for the third time... Congratulations on Princess Aurelia's acquisition of ownership of the ansello mine."

"Next mine..."

The subsequent medium-sized mine and large mine all fell into Aurelia's hands without accident.

Finally all sold out

The whole auction was almost the same for Princess Aurelia and Donne.

Charles wiped his cold sweat and said, "the auction is over. Next, please come to the banquet hall to attend our special party. Please Princess Aurelia and Baron Donne follow me to handle the formalities."

Several people and Charles came to the back room. A staff member of the Star Diamond bank was already waiting.

"Baron Donne, a total of 22 million gold coins will be transferred to our Kadir family account, and the contract of these mines will belong to you."

Charles wouldn't want to see Donne at all if he couldn't avoid it.

"Ah? Did you make a mistake?"

Donne looked at Charles suspiciously: "I don't have so many gold coins."

Charles was stunned. His face turned red with the naked eye. He couldn't help roaring in a low voice: "Baron Donne! No money? Is it too late to say no money now?! you dare to bid without money!?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood."

Donne said, "although I don't have money, I can take out the equivalent, and I'm sure you'll want it."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Of course not. If you don't believe it, you can call Duke Frank. I think he should be interested in talking to me."

"Don't shout, I'm coming."

Smiling Frank came in: "I think I need to listen to Baron Donne's explanation."

"Duke Frank."

Don said as if nothing had happened: "Lawrence of caspamiburg asked me to buy a large number of combine harvesters, but I refused."

Frank still smiled, "Oh, why?"

"Materials, labor, cost... In a word, capacity constraints are only enough for our own use."

Donne smiled: "but because I didn't have money, I decided to use the combine to offset the price."

This cunning bastard!

Frank scolded in his heart, but his face remained calm: "I don't know how much you're going to charge for a combine harvester?"

"Ten thousand gold coins."

"Too expensive."

Donne threw out a sentence lightly: "exclusive product, love or not."

Frank's face trembled. "Delivery time."

The smile on Donne's face was very bright: "in a word, we will produce 2200 combine harvesters for you within half a year as the price of buying the mine. I think 2200 combine harvesters may not be enough for the farm owned by the Kadir family."

Frank took a deep breath: "Lawrence needs to get at least 100 units in a week. You can have them all delivered to our designated place in three months at most."

half a year? Half a year later, the spring harvest has passed. Do you want so many combine harvesters at home!?

Donne deliberately pondered for a moment, was happy, and then nodded: "three months is no problem, but we don't include mail... Er, no delivery."

"... deal!"
