Just when the auction was about to start, a crow in estrus quacked and flew over the stadium, hoping to attract the favor of the female bird with its loud and clear voice, and tied the knot to lay eggs and fly wing-to-wing.
But who knows, before the partner turned around for it, a burst of flames from anti-aircraft guns shot into the sky, and the poor crow was blown into scattered feathers.
The ground around the stadium was sprinkled with highly toxic insecticide, and laser alarms were installed at every vent. Make sure not even a mouse or an ant can sneak in. Apparently, because Wang Bo confirmed that Shen Ming is a master who can use animal comrades in arms, the defenders received an order to shoot and kill anyone who approaches the gymnasium, no matter whether it is an animal or a stranger.
"Pan Da, a friend of yours was beaten into a roasted bird. Fortunately, you were not allowed to try it." Shen Ming looked at everything that happened in the new market from the hillside through a high-powered telescope, and Pan Da beside him quacked. He pecked at Shen Ming's head. The black-eyed ant lay on his shoulder like a well-behaved pet.
"We have completely lost the monitoring of the internal environment, when will we start?" Xiao Yi worried.
"Don't be so anxious, now we are just supporting roles, the protagonist is Sui Tao, it depends on how he performs." Shen Ming watched the change quietly.
Back in the venue, Yuri, who was wearing an evening dress, combed his gray hair back. The gentleman looked like a European noble marquis.
Luo Xing was still wearing a pure white military uniform, with so many medals that he almost stuck to his buttocks. Unlike in the daytime, he finally took off the mask on his face here, revealing his original appearance.
It was Yuri who was in charge of hosting the auction, and Luo Xing just sat on the sofa next to the podium to witness the birth of the result.
"Dear guests, before the auction starts, first of all, I would like to thank you all for your enthusiasm and the cash you have prepared. After today, I will officially retire from the arms market. I plan to settle here in the future and will not be involved again into an endless war." Yuri said with emotion while holding the podium with both hands.
"What's the matter, old rascal, is there a girl here who lives so well that you can't forget to leave?" Bashkir teased.
"No, I'm just tired. I've been in this business for 30 years, and I've passed by bullets countless times. It's not only the support of everyone, but also luck that I can live to this day. But good luck will run out one day, People must know how to accept what is good. After the civil war in the noodle shop is over, I will have a gold mine, a piece of territory of my own. Although it is not as good as the super rich, it is still possible to buy a few piglets and raise them .” For an arms dealer, dealing with death and huge profits is an instinct.
Some people don't work for money, just because they are addicted to the smell of gunpowder, just like drug addicts. It is really rare to be able to say let go and let go like Yuri.
"Our king of war, can we start? I'm still rushing back to watch the Lakers' basketball game." Byrne urged impatiently.
"Let's get down to business then." Yuri said, pulling out a cowhide envelope from his pocket like Jobs, and taking out a metal iron box from it, which was the Chinese cipher machine that came out after a thousand calls.
"I won't introduce how to use the full version of the Tianchao Communication cipher machine. The starting price is 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, and the minimum price increase is 10 million U.S. dollars every time you raise your hand. Only cash payments in old banknotes are accepted. Pay first and then deliver. In my case, Yuri I believe everyone has no objection to the honor guarantee, right?" Yuri smiled and introduced, and the audience was silent and acquiesced.
"Then, let's start the auction now." Yuri knocked down heavily with a small hammer in his hand, announcing the start of the battle.
Luo Xing, who was full of confidence and thought that the price would rise rapidly, witnessed a quiet anti-massacre! None of the 12 arms dealers who participated in the auction raised their hands to bid, and they looked as leisurely as old men who had eaten their fill and waited for sleep. Some of them were chatting nonsense, either about basketball or their recent new career. chick.
"Hey, you old foxes, you were waiting for me here." Yuri smiled helplessly, "Are you trying to lower my starting price by refusing to bid so uniformly? It's too bad. Mr. S, you don't want to either Have you got the cipher machine back?"
"There is no competitor, so why be so anxious." Sui Tao smiled while drinking light mineral water.
After waiting for 3 minutes, no one raised their hands to participate in the auction. Yuri could only helplessly sigh and say, "The first round of auction failed to meet the requirements of you villains. The starting price has been adjusted to 1.4 billion."
Hitting the hammer again to signal the start of the auction, Yuri can only accept their "threat". After all, the things in his hand are priceless, but only the 12 big bosses in front of him can afford them. Once they say no, the supply and demand relationship will change immediately , Yuri can only accept it.
However, Yuri's sincerity was still regarded as shit by the arms dealers in front of him, and he continued to let time pass by without caring. Everyone has no mood to sleep in the long night, and everyone is good at games that consume energy.
"Crack!" Yuri hit the ground with a heavy hammer, almost smashing the wooden pad.
"Hey, there must be a limit to being shameless. Didn't you hear what I said just now? You are still a friend if you accept it when you see it. The starting price... another 100 million reduction. Listen, this is the last time. My patience has a limit. .” Yuri smiled ferociously, and the starting price of 1.5 billion was reduced by 200 million in an instant. It was not a ghost coin, but real money in US dollars.
Yuri's kindness did not bring any good rewards. A group of arms dealers still did not raise their hands to bid, and another 15 minutes passed in vain. The always good-tempered Luo Xing couldn't sit still.
"Yuri, is there any trouble?" Luo Xing's eyebrows showed blue veins.
"No problem, I can handle it. It's just that my colleagues are enemies. To put it bluntly, these bastards just want to gain benefits." Yuri turned back and sneered.
"I understand. You all came here not just to fight for fame and fortune for your master. If you don't get a share of your own things, you won't praise me even if you kill me. Okay, I'm afraid of you guys." Yes, all the bidding prices, I will take 5% of the final transaction price and return it to the bidder, which is already a lot, this is pure profit, if you want more, I will tie you to rockets and beat you back to your own Go to the country!" Yuri finally let go.
"That's great, we didn't say anything!" Hatoyama-san smiled and raised his hand for the first time, and the reserve price of 1.3 billion brought the auction back to normal.
"1.35 billion, I want something." Bourne raised his hand and said.
"I want to take it home with just such a small bid. Isn't the United States in a financial crisis recently? Save the money to solve the unemployment problem! 1.5 billion! Give you the original price!" Bashkir sneered and called the price.
"1.52 billion, Japan's communication technology is underdeveloped, of course it is needed." Hatoyama-san raised his hand.
"1.6 billion." Compared with other bidders, Sui Tao's bid was concise and clear, without nonsense.
"Tianchao's shot is really generous. Let's see if you have the guts. It's 1.62 billion." Byrne said vigorously.
"1.7 billion." Sui Tao raised his hand calmly and said, 80 million came in one go, only Bashkir who was curious just now could compare.
"1.73 billion, little brother, take it easy, the night is long, we have plenty of time to play." Bashkir raised his hand and bid.
"We don't care about other people's things, and no one wants to take our own things. This is our consistent principle... 1.8 billion." Sui Tao's asking price was sonorous and powerful, which made others terrified, but Luo Xing was very happy.
"1.81 billion." The arms dealer from Italy seemed unwilling to be a passerby, and raised his hand once.
"1.9 billion." In Sui Tao's concept, it seems that there is no other counting unit below 100 million.
"Do you really have so much spare money in China? I don't believe it, 1.91 billion!" the German arms dealer asked.
"2 billion." Sui Tao remained firm.
"I like throwing money so much, let me help you! 2.1 billion!" Australia's arms giant sneered and increased the price.
Strangely, Sui Tao, who was rushing to increase the price on one item, suddenly shut up and stopped raising his hands. Not only did he not bid, Bourne, Hatoyama-san and Bashkir also sat quietly and watched the tigers fight.
"2.1 billion, once!" Yuri on the podium shouted loudly, and the Australian arms dealer felt like he was about to have a heart attack.
Because the authorization he has obtained cannot exceed 1.8 billion, but now the asking price has reached 2.1 billion, and the excess part will not be paid for by him, and he needs to pay for it himself. I ate the same rice paddies.
"When you're so old, don't play games that you don't play. Be careful that you play yourself to death." When Sui Tao turned around to warn with a grim face, he raised his hand and offered, "2.13 billion."
"It's finally back to our game time, 2.15 billion." Byrne raised his hand.
"2.16 billion." Hatoyama-san didn't have enough confidence, and the price increase seemed more conservative.
"It's really stupid for us to compete like this. Everyone has become a lamb who can kill each other. Can't we find another way to resolve this dispute? 2.17 billion." Bashkir sighed.
"Yes, it all depends on whether Brother S is in the mood to chat with us, 2.18 billion." Bourne is also under great pressure. The benefits he wants are not on the podium, but on Sui Tao's other Commitment, it also gives his markup a very adventurous tinge.
"That's your problem, we only need this cipher machine, 2.2 billion!" Hatoyama-san's Mediterranean hairstyle was covered with beads of sweat, and it was obvious that he was under even heavier pressure.
"I've said it all, I won't give you anything. On this issue, there is no room for trading, 2.3 billion." Sui Tao raised his hand again.
"Boy, your thinking mode is too rigid, this is not good, 2.31 billion." Bashkir drank the mineral water in his hand on the first floor.
"This price is enough to build a state-of-the-art destroyer. Is it necessary? 2.32 billion." Bourne wiped the sweat off his face with a tissue.
"If you continue to bid, it is necessary, 2.35 billion." Sui Tao continued to fight.
