Chapter 288 Crowdfunding Auction
"Is the Metropolis really going to do that?"

Man No. [-] was very thin and well-dressed. It could be seen that he was a refined person, but now he had a hideous face and his body was trembling undetectably.

Lin Guiyao knew that this was obviously a sign of being extremely angry.

"The year before last, a scavenger in Minghai found half a page of nuclear research notes, but was cheated by someone at the same price as collecting garbage. Last year, in the same Minghai, a massacre in a small camp was caused by the accumulation of Half a ton of nuclear waste was dumped, all of this was done by you, right? Can’t you give us a chance?!” Number Seven clenched his fists.

For some reason, as long as there is nuclear-related news in a certain place, the Metropolis will take the lead in the first time, so that the latecomers can only sigh in vain, while he himself has resentment.

He has spent more than ten years of painstaking efforts in this research, and he also has a huge amount of funds, but without the most critical data, he can't make it at all. Now it is rare to hear that there will be such a thing in the Wanwang Technology Auction , but I didn't expect the Metropolis to make a move, still in this oppressive posture.

No. [-] glanced at him, turned his head and shook the bidding sign in his hand, and Mo Yousheng came to his senses:

"City Lord Chen, I understand your obsession with technology, but this is a serious and formal auction, please follow the rules!"

After finishing speaking, Mo Yousheng raised the auction hammer high, cleared his throat and began to count:
"2000 million for the first time!"

"Two thousand..." Buyer No. [-] was about to leave, but was suddenly pressed down by the bodyguard beside him covering his mouth.

Lin Guiyao smiled when he saw the burly bodyguard shaking his head at the man named Chen, who had a look of resentment on his face but could only lower his head helplessly.

Sure enough, this bodyguard seemed to be the main body.

But in terms of financial resources, it seems that Metropolis is even better!

What Lin Guiyao didn't know was that since Mayor Di's policy was different from others', the blood-sucking registration fee collected was basically spent on the construction of the roadbed. After the construction was completed, the connected territories still needed to pay an annual Road maintenance fees, the money can basically be returned in a few years.

Other than that, the Met doesn't even have any big spending.

talent?Just headhunting!
Technological innovation?If it doesn't exist, just buy it!
factory equipment?Development is costly and time-consuming, buy, buy, buy!

Even the army is maintained at an extremely low level, which makes the metropolis have a lot of income, but basically no expenditure, and the liquidity on hand is very sufficient, although for finance, such an approach is very stupid .

But people can get it immediately at an overwhelming price after some key technologies are mature, and others still want it?Take the money to buy it.

This is a bit like the style of a certain boss. He has a research department, but he is only responsible for some key projects.

As for the technology you want, you can wait for others to spend a lot of energy, financial resources and risk of failure to research it, and then buy it when it is verified that it is indeed practical and valuable. Although the price must be high, it is a great saving increase day-to-day research funding and reduce risks.

What if the other party is really unwilling to sell?

Hehe, Metropolis' "Research Department" was not built for nothing. They bought traitors, hired spies, and even directly purchased finished products for disassembly and research. Soon a more perfect product of the same style will appear.

When the copycat is better than the main body, the copycat is not a copycat, and the main body is no longer the main body.

Naturally, other super cities are unhappy with this, but who makes them less wealthy?
They have to raise a group of soldiers, otherwise, who will take care of the rebels and the mobs running all over the mountains and looters?

This is also a fucking dog, they simply don't understand how the metropolis can control those disobedient bosses with only a little army.

Of course, with Lin Guiyao's current limitations, he didn't need to understand.

"2000 million second time!"

"2000 billion for the third time!"

"Congratulations……"

"and many more!"

Mo Yousheng's hammer still couldn't fall. Although he shouted for the third time, as long as the hammer didn't fall, it would be fine.

Player No. [-] shrugged his shoulders, as if he was a little impatient with the final sound for so long, but this time it was the fatty No. [-] next to No. [-] who interrupted him.

He turned the bidding board in his hand and smiled.

"The metropolis has strong financial resources, and the Big Four...and those old super cities don't bother to enter the venue to play this kind of small game. Of course, us small city owners can't fight alone, but..."

Fatty No. [-] narrowed his already small eyes and showed his sharpness: "But if all the super city lords we present jointly bid for...Boss Mo, the auction didn't say it's not allowed, did it?"

Joint auction?

Everyone was stunned, and then their faces became happy, and they started talking.

"Okay, okay, Lao Zeng, you are really good at it, you can imagine this!"

"Count me in, I'm definitely buying this thing today!"

"Yes, yes! Let's all raise money together and smash this girl to death!"

"It's agreed in advance, fair funding, and joint research!"

Mo Yousheng was stunned for a while, thought carefully, and nodded:

"Yes, there is indeed no such restriction in the auction, as long as you have enough money, just shout!"

"Humph!"

No. [-] snorted coldly, but didn't say anything, just casually put down the half-raised bidding board, not sure if he gave up or planned to watch the show first.

After receiving the consent, those impulsive super city lords immediately gathered together to study the plan, and quickly launched No. [-] and No. [-] as joint representatives to participate in the auction on behalf of everyone.

No. [-] is the one with the most financial strength besides Metropolitan Metropolis, and No. [-] is the initiator of crowdfunding, but in fact, it doesn't matter whoever raises the card, so there is no dispute.

"Twelve cities jointly bid, 500 billion!" Fatty No. [-] held up the bidding board and glanced in No. [-]'s direction triumphantly.

This time, because the news released by Wanwang Technology was too sudden, only the fifteen nearby super city owners were able to participate in the auction. Although two super cities gave up the joint bidding for unknown reasons, the remaining twelve The city is not something that a metropolitan city can bear.

But No. [-], the representative of the metropolis, was still the same as before, weakly half-raising the bidding board, with the same indifferent voice:

"3000 billion."

The fat man sneered, and immediately raised the price: "500 billion!"

"4000 billion."

"Forty-five billion!"

"5000 billion."

"500 billion!"

This time it was obvious that No. 5000 was hesitant. Just when Fatty thought that the other party's limit was [-] billion, the other party suddenly looked back at him. Under the mask, the expression could not be seen through, but those eyes...

Seems like a taunt?
"one trillion."
