C1937 Play with You
Actually, a million dollars isn't expensive at all. What could it do? Buying a fighter jet was just selling one. But... This is just a port area that hasn't been developed yet. It needs to be developed... To invest a large amount of money, and to be developed at the same time... It would also benefit the Sanctity Country. Therefore, this price was quite low. If the starting price was successfully bid, it would be a useless price.
But now, it was very obvious that they shouldn't count on the starting price anymore. The smell of gunpowder between the two sides was very strong.
"Three million." The representative of Lion City, Li Ming, said.
There were many similarities between Lion City and Han Country. Both of them belonged to the Eastern race. Their living habits were very similar, and their names were the same as Han Country's. However, if they were considered distant relatives of Han Country... If they wanted them to be closer to the Han Country, they would be gravely mistaken. For many years, they had always hated and rejected the Han Country. In their eyes, the Han Country was their enemy. So, don't be fooled by their appearance. For example, they were here to ruin their own reputation.
Of course, it was better to let them suffer a huge loss. Only then would they be able to learn their lesson.
The starting price was one million. The other party skipped four levels in an instant and directly reached three million. His raising of the card was only the beginning, absolutely not the end. It was only the first few levels of Mount Huashan.
"Ten million." The Lu raised the token and shouted at the other party. You have only increased by two million, yet I have increased by seven million in an instant. This time, the smell of gunpowder became even stronger.
To the auctioneer, they were eager to see the price. The higher the price, the better. Now, from one million to ten million, it had increased by tenfold. This was not the end.
"Eleven million." Li Ming shouted. There was no need to increase the price by too much. He was afraid that he would directly say twenty million. The hammer hit the ground with a bang. Once the sound of the hammer hitting the ground was fixed, he would be at a disadvantage.
"Twenty million." The Lu shouted again. The moment she shouted, Li Ming felt his heart tremble. This woman was too detestable. Are you trying to scare us away?
Of course not. When we came here, we were already prepared. No matter how much effort we put in, we have to take down this port for future benefits.
"21 million."
"30 million."
"Thirty-one million."
"Forty million."
Li Ming's forehead began to sweat. He already had a premonition. The other party kept increasing the price in order to push them away. The reason why he had obtained this port was merely to empty it and have nothing to do with it. They wouldn't create any benefits. If their price was too high... The shareholders would be unhappy if they lost money in the future.
What should they do?
"50 million, 50 million." The people on top deliberately created a tense atmosphere. "50 million going once, 50 million going twice."
When he shouted fifty million going thrice, he would have to hammer. Now, the hammer was raised high up!
"51 million!" Li Ming shouted.
This should be enough, right? 50 million was definitely the other party's bottom line. After all, the other party was a company from a developing country. If it wasn't for the firearms, there was no need to say 50 million. 500 thousand wouldn't be enough.
How would he know Qin Guan's true trump card? The recent storm... It was Qin Guan who stirred it up. As the initiator, Qin Guan had long begun preparations. Needless to say, just the oil and futures market alone was enough for him to earn 40 billion. This little bit of money was like a drizzle to him. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to provoke the people of Lion City into falling into his trap... Qin Guan didn't need to waste his time here. What he was looking forward to the most right now was... That's the look on each other's face.
"51 million going once, 51 million going twice." When the host said this, Li Ming used his hand to support his tie. Hmph, it's already at your bottom line, right? Let's see if you still dare to continue?
"One hundred million." Right at this moment, the Lu continued to raise its sign. This feeling was as good as it could get. This was the feeling of spending a lot of money. The Lu was playing very happily.
One hundred million was nothing to forty billion. Qin Guan planned to invest ten billion here. Repairing the port and building the railway was more than enough. After all, this was only the middle of the 1980s. Eagle Yuan was still very strong. In the future... Eagle Yuan was impatient to spend money, not because of the Y Country's hard work of printing money. Distribution. National debt! Ah.
One hundred million! This voice was like a bolt out of the blue, ringing in Li Ming's ears. The other party actually dared to bid one hundred million? What was the other party doing? Did they have so much money?
He couldn't help but look over. Just as he was looking over, he saw Qin Guan making an insulting gesture towards them. The rest of his fingers formed a fist. Only his index finger moved out and hooked towards Li Ming.
This gesture didn't matter in many countries. The way you came over to express your feelings, but... In some countries, it would be considered an insult, because it would be called a dog... If it was in the Lion City, it would be the biggest insult. Because this gesture represented death.
All of you, die! This was Qin Guan's declaration. Now, Qin Guan's gesture had completely infuriated the other party.
"One million and five hundred thousand!" Li Ming shouted. Now, he was furious. The lowest bid was five hundred thousand. If it wasn't for this, he would only be one more dollar than the other party. Even if it was one more dollar, it would still be a lot. In any case, he had to suppress the other party!
"One million five hundred thousand going once, one million five hundred thousand going twice, one million five hundred thousand going thrice. One million five hundred thousand going once, one million five hundred thousand going twice, one million five hundred thousand going thrice. Slap!" The host knocked the hammer down and shouted to the audience, "Hong Kong International Company from Lion City, deal at one million and five hundred thousand!"2
Humph, are you afraid? Li Ming glanced at the other party, his eyes full of pride. It was only a bid of five hundred thousand and it was already won. However, when he looked over, he did not see any depressed expression on the other party's face. It was as easy as going out for a walk and throwing trash.
Wait a minute, this isn't good. I fell into the trap. The other party is trying to increase the price. This was a trick, a trick used by the Sanctity Country and the Han Country to set up a trap for us. This broken port was worth at most five million, but it was forcefully raised to a hundred million. Oh, damn it, I must be confused. I actually won the bid of one million and five hundred thousand. How am I going to explain it to the shareholders when I get back?
Li Ming had already understood by now. He had fallen into a trap. He had been tricked!
However, he did not know that his nightmare had only just begun. The next blow was the most terrifying.
"Now, General Abbas, please explain the details of this bidding and the additional terms. Please."
What? There are additional terms? What was going on?
