At ten o''clock, the auction begins.
Master of ceremonies Humphrey stepped on the stage from behind the stage and followed him, and a cart covered with red velvet was pushed to the center of the stage.
A waiter raised his hand to lift off the red velvet, revealing a simple and colorful Buddha head.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the fourth auction of the 25th asylum villa, with the theme of [rare treasures]."
"Let''s take a look at the first auction of this auction, Apsaras, from the stone carved flying fairy Buddha head in the ancient Khmer Queen''s palace deep in the jungle of East India..."
The master of ceremonies could hardly be heard backstage. At the corner of the stage, lieutenant general Louis de relano looked silently at the scene in front of the stage through the gap in the curtain.
"How do you feel, lieutenant general?" Arthas approached indifferently and bowed with restrained politeness. "I mean, compared with the usual formal auction, does the asylum villa refresh you?"
"The way is very novel." lieutenant general leilano said expressionless, "the venue specially designed for dark shooting is also the only one I have seen in my life. But I crossed the ocean and came to the new world not for visiting or exhibition."
"Mr. Jin, when you persuaded the minister, you promised that an auction would solve our military spending gap in the next two years. We gave our full cooperation. We did our best according to your proposal, whether in the previous accident or later publicity."
"But you seem to exaggerate some things in front of the minister. For example... The head of the stone woman was photographed. The rich you invited don''t seem to have such a strong desire to buy as you describe."
"Facts speak louder than words, sir." Arthas did not hasten to explain, "your navy''s minimum guarantee for rage is 60000 gold Louis, and the expected value is 120000 gold Louis, while my promise to the minister is 80000. The part with insufficient turnover is supplemented by Morgan, and the part with more than 160000 needs to deduct Commission."
"Therefore, from the moment when rage officially boarded the stage of the shelter villa, the minimum needs of your navy have been met. All you need to expect is a surplus. You can relax yourself."
"As for the cold situation on the stage now... Ah, it seems that No. 2 is going to be photographed. The jade in that stone clearly has the opportunity to set off a climax... Who do you think caused the situation that no one cares about the precious auction?"
Lieutenant general ralano snorted discontentedly, "do you want to say that I caused it?"
"Fury should have been the final finale of all six auctions. The top chaebols came for it, holding a large amount of money and becoming generous in the illusion of abundance. This is the only reason why I used 17 meetings to persuade Mr. Minister and give such generous auction conditions."
Arthas bowed his head.
"However, Mr. Minister chose you to be the Plenipotentiary of the Ministry of the Navy. You are worried that the final auction will increase the risk of encounter between you and acquaintances, forcing us to advance our rage and insert it into the middle of the fourth game that has already been arranged."
"We don''t expect to make a profit this year. Before the fury, the rich guests will be tied up. After the fury competition is over, the enthusiasm of the guests will be exhausted. We have foreseen the arrival of a large-scale offshore tide."
Lieutenant general leilano''s expression was seven points shocked. It was not that he felt guilty about Morgan chamber of Commerce after his selfishness was exposed, but that he could not imagine that this small American businessman dared to complain to him so blatantly.
Who is he?
He is a senior general of the great French navy. He is highly valued and has a bright future!
The great French Navy paid so much for this group of countrymen in the new world that it was even forced to resell design plans to maintain military supplies.
Doesn''t this annoying American know gratitude?
How could there be such a brazen man in this world!
Relano took a deep breath: "Mr. king, I think..."
"You don''t have to apologize," Arthas interrupted appropriately. "We accepted your request to adjust the auction order. Before accepting it, we had foreseen today''s dismal situation."
"But we bet on the future. Like you, we also look forward to the performance of rage and its charm to create a unique auction that is enough to make the asylum villa go to a higher level."
"The bet has been put up. We just need to wait."
……
Two open hammers and two flow rackets.
Even if the private secret auction that cannot see the opponent has been created, and even if only a few of the bidders present are really angry, the cautious atmosphere still rises uncontrollably and permeates the whole audience.
Caution is perhaps the most unpopular virtue in the auction market. Once cautious, people will look ahead and worry about gain and loss. As a result, it is clear that the first two auctions are worthy of the theme of rare treasures, and the starting price released by Morgan chamber of commerce is also worth money, but in the end, they are reduced to the point where no one cares.
Lorraine saw that the Emcee''s forehead was sweating and his high voice began to float. He could obviously feel that he was trying his best to mobilize the atmosphere.
In this embarrassing excitement, the second piece was pushed down, and the third piece was pushed to the center of the stage covered with red velvet.
The waiter lifted the velvet and exposed the wooden support below. A pair of arm armor was embedded on the support, which was slightly shorter than the ordinary people''s forearm. The surface was blackened and hairy, neither conspicuous nor shiny.
Hannah''s eyes lit up.
"Look at today''s third auction, the arm blade of the legendary assassin atel Ibn rahad."
"Arter is an assassin master subordinate to asasin in the 12th century and one of the most famous assassin mentors in Levant''s history. Like all asasin with a good end, his life is a mystery. There is no data to prove that he has participated in any assassination."
"But he was a worthy assassin master. After his death, his arm blades were enshrined in the holy Hall of Levant fortress until eagle''s nest city was destroyed in the Mongolian Western Expedition. These arm blades fled West with the remaining assassins until they fell into the hands of French collectors in 1358."
"It is worth mentioning that the kingdom of Jerusalem wanted arter briefly at the end of the 12th century, and this wanted was similar to the assassination of Jerusalem King Conrad. Some collectors insisted that arter was the assassin who assassinated Conrad. Although there was no more powerful evidence, in some areas, the pair of arm blades were still called the blood of saints by rumored believers."
"Now, asasin arm blade saint''s blood, the starting price is 4400 pounds, and each increase is 500 pounds. The bidding starts!"
Silence spread again.
In the middle of the box, Haina stared at Lorraine, neither saying nor moving.
Lorraine couldn''t help rolling her eyes: "do you want it?"
"Yes."
"Let edley light the light if you want."
"But our capital is very dangerous. Although I don''t understand it, I also know that 5000 pounds may decide the outcome."
"Your worry is right." Lorraine thought for a moment, but decided to tell the truth. "5000 pounds is likely to determine whether we can stand out in the fierce competition. After all, the opponent this time is no one else. Old dukov is our old friend. That guy never makes sense in spending money."
"Asasin arm blade saint''s blood, the starting price is 4400 pounds. Is there an offer?"
"The starting price is 4400 pounds. It is said that the legendary weapon used to assassinate King Conrad of Jerusalem. Is there an offer?"
"Assassin''s arm blade, the blood of saints, the weapon of the legendary assassin atel Ibn rahad, and Assassin''s belief magic weapon. The final quotation countdown!"
The dry encouragement of the master of ceremonies came from the stage, and Haina''s eyes scattered light.
Lorraine suddenly pulled off the baffle of the yellow light.
"No. 7! The price of box No. 7, Assassin''s arm blade, Saint''s blood, box No. 7 is 4400 pounds! Is there any higher offer!"
The master of ceremonies'' tone tore the dome, and the orange soft light drove away the haze of the box.
Lorraine smiled softly in the light.
He whispered, "although patting the arm blade may lead to the failure of rage, I prefer to make you smile more often than satisfy the desires of those lords of the Navy."
"Asasin arm blade saint''s blood, 4400 pounds a time!"
"The legendary assassin Altai''s magic soldier, 4400 pounds twice!"
"Adele Ibn rahad''s arm blade, 4400 pounds, deal! Congratulations to the distinguished guests in box 7, 4400 pounds to pocket Lot 3!"
Sporadic applause broke out. Carmen''s mouth was deflated and he took out a handkerchief to cover Haina''s face.
"Oh! It''s not fair..."
