Chapter 440： Appetizers

"12.5 billion!" The representative from the Charles Federation raised the price to 12.5 billion. ￥⊙dǐng￥⊙ǎn￥⊙小￥⊙ say, ¤.2←3.⊕o

"12.6 billion!" Goldwin of the Silver Eagle Group silently increased it 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 growing, and the scene is filled with a faint smell of gunpowder. Although the game between countries is rarely emotional, in most cases it is based on interests, but people are emotional animals. There will be likes and dislikes,

For example, the Yinying Group and the Charles Federation, the grievances between the two have been precipitated for more than ten years. No matter in the international environment or the domestic environment, they have always been accustomed to each other. Therefore, the citizens of both sides inevitably wear colored glasses in their communication. Godwin of the regiment and Ptolemy of the Charles Union, as long as one party makes an offer, the other party will bid again soon.

Ever since, the on-site bidding recycles and recycles in a reincarnation situation!

In the end, the price of 10 relics of Epsilon stopped at 15 billion yuan, which was quoted by representatives of the Phoenix Empire.

In fact, this price is nearly 1 billion higher than Tang Fang's psychological expectations.

After all, it is some old foxes in the diplomatic field, even if they were noisy and happy before, but when it comes to serious matters, they are still very measured.

Take Star Alliance representative Jonah for example, 14 billion is his psychological bottom line, and it is also the limit price set by relevant government departments after many considerations.

Unexpectedly, the quotation will eventually rise to 15 billion, which is more than 1 billion. Even if the Phoenix Empire is the biggest potential enemy of the Star Alliance, he will not continue to increase the price.

These representatives are still very sensible. They must consider the country behind them, and Tang's goal is only to take advantage of the "dispute between nations". One billion stars is enough to buy two Longsword-class frigates. It is already a big profit. What is he not satisfied with?

One benefit!

If White David knew that 1 billion star coins were just "a benefit" in Tang Fang's eyes, he didn't know how he would feel.

I am afraid that a person like him will not earn this amount for a lifetime of hard work.

"Pop!" The sound system heard a clean hammer drop, and 10 pieces of the remains of Epsilon were finally purchased by the Phoenix Empire at a price of 15 billion stars.

White David twitched the corners of his mouth, the smile on his face was uglier than crying. He suddenly realized a problem, 15 billion stars 10 pieces of the remains of Epsilon, then what is the unit price of the two pieces of remains of Epsilon that Tang Fang pre-sold to the "Rover 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 private room door.

White David was stunned, very surprised why Captain Tang turned and left without saying anything. Did he go to the bathroom?

Claire is learning a dish-braised lion's head. Grant has turned the discount page to 15. There are 30 pages behind. The singing of the Galaxy Demon Girl has long since ended, and there is an atmosphere called "Quiet" rippling gently in the private room.

White David wanted to find someone to speak, not for anything else, just to break the silence.

The temperature in the room was very suitable, and the fragrance was floating in the air, but for some reason he felt a fire burning in his chest, as if he had taken all the oxygen away.

The silence was finally broken. It was not because of Tang Fang's return, but because the holographic projection device in front of the coffee table sent two brand-new three-dimensional graphics into White's field of vision.

"Huh?" he exclaimed.

There was a deep shock and doubt in his voice. Because the original remains of the Ypsilon in the picture were replaced by two strange things. From the appearance, one of them should be a flying machine. The shape is simple and unpretentious. At first glance, it looks like a big bug, and the other is not in shape. Big. At the level of an s, the lower body has 4 feet, and the upper body has a human torso. The most striking thing is the 4 light cannons on the front of its arms.

Tang Fang sat back again, still smiling at him. This time, it feels like a movie is rewinding, and it has an unreal taste.

White David's mouth twitched twice, and he habitually grabbed the small square cup, put it under his lips, and found that the wine in the cup had already dripped.

He smiled awkwardly, put down the cup, turned the engagement ring on his **** again, and asked in a trembling voice: "Yours?"

"Yes, mine." Tang Fang tried hard.

The handsome assistant took a breath. Suddenly he didn't know what to say and how to answer the conversation. He also felt that the question asked just now was very silly. The two items suspected to be intact Yipsyron's relics were in addition to Captain Tang. Can anyone else offer it?

"You... you want to sell them?" White David walked to the water supply counter next to the refrigerator and took a glass of pure water. After a while, the cows drank and licked their wet lips. He asked this sentence in a normal rhythm and tone. words.

Tang Fang shrugged, "Otherwise why should I make them public."

White David once again felt that he was acting like a fool. The first question was very stupid, and the second question was not very clever. This did not match his identity-he was Ke. Li Christian’s assistant, who has seen a lot of worlds, should be more mature and more stable.

Obviously, the copycat Beckham was too demanding on his own requirements. The corporate 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, these two newly added auction items are complete. The relics of Ypsilon, and these two relics of Ypsilon are not only intact, but also working normally.

Of course, since the idea of ​​adding new items to auction was a temporary decision made by the owner of the Epsilon Ruins, the auction house has not yet received the actual product, nor has it verified its authenticity. Now it is just a pre-sale advertisement, a real auction. The session will take place in 7 days.

The complete and functioning remains of Epsilon, let alone two, is only one, and its value is much higher than 10 pieces of the remains of damaged Epsilon.

The scene suddenly boiled over. The large enterprises and representatives of various countries in the private room on the second floor hate itching teeth. One guilty conspiracy is enough, but two consecutive visits do not count. It's not enough for everyone to jump in the fire pit once, and we have to jump again. This is simply torture.

Especially Hume James from the Phoenix Empire, his back molars are almost flattened by him.

Corey Christier knew that Tang Fang had 12 remains of Epsilon, but he didn’t know that he still had 2 complete remains of Epsilon, and White David didn’t even know it. He looked at the remains behind him. Two things of unknown technology that keep rotating, look at Captain Tang, who is as steady as Mount Tai on the sofa. Can't help but shudder.

He felt that he had already taken a high look at Tang Fang, but he didn't expect that his so-called high view was only halfway up the mountain. This kid was too tricky. He felt that 10 pieces of the remains of Ipsyron were used to ask for directions.

Because of the earlier "country disputes", the final bid for the 10 remains of Epsilon has been nearly 1 billion higher than the actual value. What about these two complete products?

You must know that the remains of Ypsilon and the complete product are two concepts that are not the same. Representatives of various countries can remain calm and restrained in the face of the former, but what about the latter? The auction house has said that they can operate normally. Does the implication mean that humans can activate or even manipulate them?

Judging from the three-dimensional model above the holographic projection system, one of the two epsilon relics belongs to an aircraft and the other belongs to an attack vehicle. The relevant technology is sufficient to affect a country’s national strength. Faced with such a temptation, who is willing to tolerate ? Who can bear it?

Whether it was White or Old Corey, they believed that Tang Fang deliberately delayed the day. Anticipating disputes among the parliaments, I wanted to take this opportunity to make a small profit. But now it seems that he has a great appetite. The 10 remains of Epsilon are clearly used to sway people's appetite. The real auction items are the two complete relics of Epsilon currently appearing.

The air conditioning system sent a breeze, which was very comfortable on the face, however. White David felt that it was more like a yin wind than a breeze, a yin wind that could eat bones!

Tang Fang stood up, smiled at him slightly, and said, "I saw an acquaintance just now, let me leave." Turn around and walk towards the door.

Claire first closed the webpage, then pa, got up slowly, and said politely: "Thank you Mr. White for the hospitality, goodbye."

White knew that she was talking about the bottle of whiskey, more than half of the whiskey in Howson's stomach.

Grant has stopped turning over discount information. Although he turned 15 pages, he added almost every item to his shopping cart.

He looked very unhappy. The two eyebrows were twisted together, like tangled old tree roots, because there are many similar products in the shopping cart, and the price-performance ratios of these similar products are similar. He really doesn’t know how to choose. At this moment he suddenly envied some women, because there is an animal in this world called a girlfriend.

He raised his head and looked at Captain Tang, thinking that the man would not ask for trouble. He looked at Howson behind him again, thinking how stupid he would be to get his idea on that guy.

Tang Fang started, behind the Aros Palace, and it wasn't until the group of people walked out of the private room that White David recovered his senses and got up and sent him away, but when he chased the door, Tang Fang in the front had disappeared without a trace, only the waitress. Ying's charming smile echoed before his eyes.

She is a beauty. There is something else in her smile, but he has no thoughts and no time to deal with her. White smiled unnaturally, then ran back to the private room and dialed the number of old Corrie. .

…………

There is a very luxuriously decorated cafe on the 5th floor of the "Starlight" Building, which has always been loved by the rich and powerful, and even the old lady of Corey is also a frequent visitor here.

Most of the time, this is a paradise for women, especially women who have nothing to worry about. 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, with two cups of fragrant Italian coffee in front of them, but neither of them moved, because they were used to drinking the dǐng-class coffee from Corrie, and their mouths were a little awkward.

Looking into the distance from where the two are sitting, you can see Pinghu at the end of the field of vision, the endless stream of vehicles, and pedestrians hurrying with briefcases or shopping bags in their hands.

Claire has a kind smile on her face, and occasionally two very shallow pear vortexes emerge from the corners of her mouth. They are cute and pure.

Tang Fang's gaze fell on the face of the person directly opposite, with some sorrow, some melancholy, and some nostalgia.

He didn't expect to encounter them in the "Babylon" star system. The knowledge here is not a creditor.

This person is no one else. It was Philips Eddie, the leader of the business group who hid with Aros and Howson when he was in Crotan.

As a business group engaged in foreign trade, Philips has a wide range of activities. It is normal to appear in "Babylon", but to Tang Fang's surprise, the "Somaer" auction house unexpectedly invited him.

According to Philips' explanation. It turned out that after Marion's insurgents occupied Crotan, the Philips trade group bought the goods needed by the Duke of Congreve of Turanx, United Kingdom, 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 "Babylon". Come here to sell.

"Somaer" auction house originally invited Fitzgerald, the agent of the Duke of Congreve's family business in "Babylon". It happened that Philips came to "Sky Garden" soon and needed to develop contacts. Expanding the social circle, so he begged Fitzgerald to take him to the meeting, so he had this meeting.

When Tang Fang told Philips that the 10 remains of Epsilon were from his hands and that he planned to form a "Morning Star Casting", the old man slipped his hand and almost threw the coffee cup on the ground.

His eyes opened wide, and the crow's feet twisted into a bunch of ponytail at the corner of his eyes. Even my lips trembled, and I didn't know that the coffee was too hot. It was because Tang Fang's statement was too shocking and frightened.

How long is this? In less than half a year, the young man who played hide-and-seek with Francis in Crotan 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, he was shot and killed on the beach by the back wave. No, what kind of waves are there? The young man on the opposite side who is older than Crotan's period is basically a tsunami.

What's too much? He thought for a while, and quickly got the answer he wanted--growth!

Philips lamented that the hero was born a teenager, but Tang Fang had only one emotion. He was very happy, very happy, meeting old friends in "Babylon" is really a thing to celebrate, so he invited Philips to the residence for a small gathering.

Because there was a date with Fitzgerald in the evening, Philips had to push the party until tomorrow, and then went out after the checkout. When he walked downstairs, Howson touched Philips and said a few whispers, which caused the old businessman to laugh. , Patted him on the shoulder, got into a taxi, and went all the way.

…………

The "Somaer" auction house is very efficient. At the next morning, it transferred the funds to the "Morning Star Casting" corporate account, totaling 14.98 billion.

The reason why it only takes 20 million yuan instead of a percentage draw like other auction houses is because of the relationship with Old Corey, and such large auctions can bring higher visibility to "Somaer".

At the same time, the auction house sent a commissioner to check whether the two finished Yipsyron remains are indeed authentic.

The so-called "two complete relics of the Ypsilon" are nothing but counterfeit goods used by the Tang Fang to fool people. Where is the creation of the Ypsilon, it is basically the first-generation transport aircraft and the second-generation immortality of the Protoss in StarCraft. By.

Even if there is a slight difference in style between the Protoss arms and the creation of Ipsilon, but for this kind of non-human machinery, and the technological level exceeds the current hundreds of years, who dares to say that they are not the creation of Ipsilon?

So they went back like that, and the two valuable "Epsyron Relics" were also sealed up by the auction house in a warehouse, waiting for the auction to begin 7 days later.

…………

After sending away the staff of the "Somaer" auction house, Tang Fangchai Grant went to the "Wanderer Technology Consortium" in the "Babylon" branch to find Corey Christian, and put the 2 Epsilon relics. The wreckage was transferred to the "Rover Technology Consortium" at a price of 1.1 billion stars.

After all, Old Corey has put a lot of effort into this game, so he can't chill his heart.

Again, Tang Fang was never a qualified businessman, and he never thought about becoming a qualified businessman. Like many young people, he believes in a rule—how can people be treated? Me, how do I treat people!

Near noon, Grant will finish the matter and return to the hotel.

At this point, the amount on the "Morning Star Minting" corporate account has increased from 630 million stars at the beginning to 40.11 billion stars. Grant feels that he finally knows why the captain rejected Miss Charlotte’s kindness because he did not need!

At present, there are 40 billion stars. If you sell those 2 "complete Epsilon relics", with such wealth, are you afraid that you can't build a space station?

The smile on the deputy captain's face did not last long, and he thought of another question. Is it possible that Captain Tang really intends to sell those two combat machines of unknown origin? Isn't it afraid that the countries will come out of the above counterfeit to deal with people like themselves?

But when he walked into the living room and saw that he was sitting on the sofa with his eyes staring at Pa while his hands were walking around Claire, the shameless Captain, he suddenly felt that his worries were so unnecessary. Guys will suffer? Unless men can have children!

Master Captain could not figure out what conspiracy and tricks he was doing, calculating to knock others off. This can be reflected in the "additional auction item incident", the remains of the Ypsilon? ...Hehe...Bah!
