There was a murmur in the audience, and many people had incredible expressions on their faces, and their eyes were full of surprise when they looked at Xu Yi.
This New Flying Chamber of Commerce actually took out half a million gold coins in one go!
What was even more surprising was that what he took out was actually a very large money ticket issued by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce!
You must know that the Chimera Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce on the Sainz continent. It is not easy to get their recognition and issue you a golden ticket. And you want the Chimera Chamber of Commerce to issue such a large amount of golden tickets. , that is extremely difficult.
Although the chambers of commerce of these people present are not weak in wealth, when they paid the deposit just now, most of them used gold tickets issued by the Lampali Trading Company run by the royal family of the Lampali Kingdom, or directly used some Contract bonds were used as collateral, and only a few chambers of commerce came up with golden tickets issued by several other recognized and authoritative chambers of commerce on the mainland, including the Chimera Chamber of Commerce.
In everyone's eyes, having a golden ticket issued by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce is itself a proof of status.
With the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, under normal circumstances, there is no such qualification at all.
In addition, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually paid a deposit of 500,000 gold coins in one go, which proved that Xu Yi actually intended to participate in the competition between the two mines.
With the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is incredible for everyone to be able to compete for one of the smaller mines, let alone compete for two!
But the reality is before their eyes, but no one can help but disbelieve it.
Seeing Xu Yishi step down from the stage, President Morgan narrowed his eyes slightly.
From those five extremely large money tickets issued by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce. He smelled an unusual smell.
These two iron mines are what the Falcao Chamber of Commerce is determined to acquire. There may be some variables.
soon. The representatives of the chambers of commerce who participated in the auction paid their deposits one after another, and everyone was shocked to realize that according to the data just announced by the host, thirty-eight chambers of commerce finally participated in the auction. Counting the deposits alone, the host has already received the deposits. A huge amount of more than 10 million gold coins.
No wonder the outside of the banquet hall has long been protected by heavily armed soldiers, and no random people are allowed to approach.
More than 10 million gold coins! This is a number that is enough to drive most people crazy!
Soon, everyone was excited and nervous. The host announced that the auction had officially begun, and the auctioneer specially invited by Earl Satsuma from Anvilmar City appeared.
"Mine No. 1, the starting price is 500,000 gold coins, the minimum increase is 5,000 gold coins, let's start!"
After the gavel fell in the hands of the auctioneer, several chambers of commerce could not wait to report the figures.
In just a moment, the auction price rose from the base price of 500,000 gold coins to over 600,000 gold coins.
At this time, the lively scene in the banquet hall had calmed down, and the bidding sounds stopped a lot.
"Seven hundred thousand gold coins." A voice suddenly sounded, instantly turning the hall into silence.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound in shock. The last bid just now was only 610,000 gold coins. This guy actually directly added 700,000 gold coins. Is there something wrong with him
After seeing clearly the people bidding. Everyone was suddenly stunned.
Of course, the Falcao Chamber of Commerce is determined to win these two mines. Chairman Morgan directly increased the price significantly, which can be regarded as showing the determination of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce to everyone.
Of course, although this price was already considered sky-high, it still couldn't scare anyone. After a moment of silence in the hall, someone soon shouted out the price of 710,000 gold coins.
The price exceeding 700,000 gold coins made many chambers of commerce hesitate.
Such a large amount of money cannot be easily obtained.
But the hesitation only lasted for a moment, and these people soon figured out that the smaller mine was being auctioned now, and the price would obviously be lower.
If you can't even win this mine, then there's no need to hope for a second, larger mine.
So although the bidding was no longer as enthusiastic as before, it never stopped.
The bidding rose again, and soon approached the eight hundred thousand gold coin mark.
In everyone's opinion, eight hundred thousand gold coins can actually be regarded as a very appropriate price for this iron mine.
Beyond this price, even if you can still get a lot of profit from it, but comparing the subsequent input and output, it is no longer particularly profitable.
Of course, if there is profit, people will be interested, so there are still many chambers of commerce representatives who are interested in it and are ready to increase the price again.
But at this moment, President Morgan spoke again.
"Nine hundred thousand gold coins!"
The banquet hall fell into silence again.
Everyone looked at President Morgan with surprise.
No matter how much your Falcao Chamber of Commerce wants this iron mine, you can't raise the price like this, right
It's okay if you don't open your mouth. Once you open your mouth, you raise the price of one hundred thousand gold coins. You are clearly telling others that you are determined to win.
It should be said that Chairman Morgan’s bidding strategy is not uncommon.
When bidding for an auction item that is particularly popular and highly competitive, this approach can directly scare away many people who are interested in taking chances and save a lot of trouble.
However, after expressing your determination in this way, you are very likely to encounter deliberate price increases.
Whether it is a benefit or a drawback is actually difficult to predict.
The hall was quiet for a while. Just when the auctioneer wanted to confirm, someone raised the price again.
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand."
President Morgan looked in the direction of the sound and found that the person shouting out the price was President Brno of the Leo Chamber of Commerce that Xu Yi and he had seen just now.
When their eyes met, President Morgan sneered and said loudly: "One million!"
Some chamber of commerce representatives who were still hesitant to speak involuntarily closed their mouths.
Everyone looked at President Morgan and President Brno with some excitement.
Judging from the current situation, this auction may have become a battleground between these two people.
Sure enough, after hearing President Morgan's bid, President Brno did not hesitate at all. Immediately shouted: "One million and fifty thousand."
President Morgan only paused briefly. Then he immediately followed: "One million and one hundred thousand."
"One hundred and fifteen thousand."
"1.2 million."
…
After the two clashed several times. The bidding exceeded 1.5 million in the blink of an eye.
Almost everyone in the hall held their breath and dared not speak.
No one thought that the mine with a starting price of 500,000 yuan would eventually soar to 1.5 million yuan!
Even if all those present are powerful chambers of commerce, any chamber of commerce that wants to spend a huge sum of 1.5 million gold coins needs to think carefully.
Even President Brno couldn't help but change his expression after hearing President Morgan quote the sky-high price of 1.5 million gold coins without hesitation. After much hesitation, he gritted his teeth and shouted "1.51 million".
Upon hearing this number, everyone in the hall sighed involuntarily.
When the two bid before, they increased the price by 50,000 gold coins. Now, President Brno only added 10,000 gold coins. This shows that he has no confidence in his heart. This bidding is just a fluke, betting on President Morgan. It's just reached its limit.
However, President Morgan sneered at President Brno and actually shouted out 1.6 million!
Facing President Morgan's cold gaze, several drops of cold sweat broke out on President Brno's forehead.
He really wanted to try adding another ten thousand. But he was afraid that President Morgan would give up suddenly.
If this is the case, it means that the Leo Chamber of Commerce will buy this mine for a sky-high price of 1.61 million gold coins.
Although the Leo Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as the largest chamber of commerce in Saltan City. But it cannot be compared with the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, which is considered the top large chamber of commerce in the Lampali Kingdom.
Really taking out 1.61 million gold coins in one breath would definitely be a strain on the Leo Chamber of Commerce.
Mining iron ore also requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the investment is huge.
The Falcao Chamber of Commerce has already had extremely rich mining experience because of its main business in minerals. For them, mining an additional iron mine is just a common move, but for the Leo Chamber of Commerce, it is completely different.
In comparison, the Falcao Chamber of Commerce's income from mining this iron ore is definitely far higher than that of other chambers of commerce, which is why President Morgan increases the price again and again without blinking an eye.
Seeing President Brno struggling, President Morgan sneered again, turned to the auctioneer on the stage and said, "Can we start the timer?"
The auctioneer glanced at President Brno and saw that he had no reaction. He raised the gavel in his hand and said loudly: "One million and six hundred thousand for the first time..."
"Wait!" President Brno suddenly raised his hand, stopping the auctioneer's movements, and then stared at President Morgan fiercely before squeezing out a few words through his teeth. "One million six hundred and fifty thousand."
Everyone was in an uproar.
When President Brno bid before, he only added 10,000 gold coins, but this time he actually added 50,000 gold coins in one go.
What does he want to do
Could it be that the Leo Chamber of Commerce is as eager for this iron mine as the Falcao Chamber of Commerce
President Morgan glanced at President Brno and also unexpectedly shouted the number "1.66 million".
Seeing that President Brno hesitated for a while and made another move to increase the price, President Morgan glanced at him with a gloomy face and said in a deep voice: "President Brno, your Leo Chamber of Commerce really intends to negotiate with our Falcao Chamber of Commerce. Do you want to fight to the end? I think I need to remind you that even if this iron mine is given to your Leo Chamber of Commerce, I’m afraid you won’t be able to mine half of the iron ore.”
This time, not only President Brno, but also other people in the hall changed their expressions.
President Morgan's words were clearly an implicit threat.
But everyone had to admit that his threat might very well become a reality.
The Falcao Chamber of Commerce controls almost all the mining business in the Lampali Kingdom. As long as they say a word, no miner will dare to work at the Leo Chamber of Commerce.
In that case, even if the Leo Chamber of Commerce obtains the mine, it will be difficult to mine it.
And even if you find a way to extract it, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to sell it.
The expression on President Brno's face changed several times, but finally he sighed and lowered his hands.
Seeing him giving up, everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh.
If the first auction resulted in such a result, then no other chamber of commerce would dare to compete with the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in the second auction.
The dust has actually settled on this auction.
President Morgan showed a triumphant smile and turned to look at the auctioneer on the stage.
The auctioneer is naturally a master of observing words and emotions. When he saw the situation in the audience, he did not hesitate and raised the gavel again.
"1.66 million for the first time... 1.66 million for the second time... 1.66 million for the third time..."
Just as the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, a voice suddenly sounded.
"One million and eight hundred thousand!"
