Goldfinger is a bit strange

The auditorium in Nikolayev was packed early.

This auditorium can accommodate about 500 people. Although there are only more than 30 people participating in the auction, with the assistants they brought, as well as various journalists, and some politicians in the city, the huge auditorium was packed.

Liu Qingshan had already taken his place. He was the first to sign up, so he was holding a number one card.

Only Li Tie followed him.

In the back row was Boss Huo, who also had a number card in his hand. He was more relaxed because he knew what his mission was, which was to cover Liu Qingshan and successfully take over the aircraft carrier.

The first few rows were all bidders, including Looney, Mitsui and others, who were all in the line, staring at Liu Qingshan with unfriendly eyes.

An interesting phenomenon is that most of the bidders are young people, and no one knows why.

The only exception is that among the young talents, there is a gray-haired black man, about 50 years old, wearing a pair of reading glasses, reading the information in his hands.

The rows of seats behind the bidders were the guest seats, where all the dignitaries of the city sat.

General Vasily was also in the row, and next to him sat the young Vera, who kept glancing forward, looking at Li Tie.

Liu Qingshan also saw the duck eggshell gentleman. This time, Hilton did not bring a bodyguard with him, only a female assistant.

The last few rows were the press seats, with many cameras.

At 9:00 a.m., the mayor took the stage and gave a brief speech, mainly welcoming the guests.

As the mayor announced the start of the auction, a professional auctioneer took the stage. This was an auctioneer invited from Sotheby's auction house, and he was a member of the white gloves.

The middle-aged auctioneer bowed and said:

"Welcome to this auction. I am auctioneer Thomas. I am also honored. After all, it is the first time in history to auction an aircraft carrier."

Liu Qingshan took the lead and clapped his hands lightly. The atmosphere on the scene was a bit tense and depressing. Liu Qingshan did not like this atmosphere very much.

The auctioneer briefly introduced the auction rules: each bid is not less than one million, and the highest bidder wins.

As for the reserve price of the auction, the leaders of Nikolayev, under the instruction of some people above, directly set it at 190 million.

This price is actually Liu Qingshan's initial offer. Obviously, the leadership of Xiaowu wants to take the opportunity to make a small fortune.

There is no way. Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Soviet Union is about to split completely. Before the separation, who doesn't want to make a little money.

"Now I announce that the auction of the aircraft carrier code-named 106 has officially begun." The auctioneer, wearing his beloved white gloves, announced the start.

But after he finished speaking, none of the more than 30 bidders made a bid, and the scene was silent for more than a minute.

White Gloves' forehead was a little sweaty: No way, you came all the way here, aren't you here for the aircraft carrier?

The reporters in the last few rows also began to whisper, and this strange situation was also beyond their expectations.

In everyone's opinion, scrambling for it and sparks flying is the rhythm that should be.

Many people's eyes were focused on Liu Qingshan, because most people guessed that Mr. Mountain must be determined to get this aircraft carrier.

But what they saw was that Liu Qingshan was leisurely fiddling with the number plate in his hand, and had no intention of bidding at all.

Liu Qingshan was of course not in a hurry, he would not take the initiative to jump out and be a target.

And Liu Qingshan, the weather vane, did not bid, so people like Looney and Mitsuiki did not dare to bid.

Their goal was to block Liu Qingshan. If the target did not appear, what were they blocking?

What if they were so rude and shouted out a price, and then everyone bid, wouldn't the aircraft carrier fall into their hands?

What do they want the aircraft carrier for, as a big toy?

Although there are more than 30 bidders, not many really want it.

Boss Huo was a little impatient, but he remembered the plan that Liu Qingshan had discussed with him last night, and forced himself to hold back and didn't raise his card.

Because if he raised his card to bid, the reason would be similar to Liu Qingshan, and he would also be blocked by those people from European and American countries.

In this way, the price would go up.

Although Liu Qingshan was determined to get the aircraft carrier, he didn't want to be the victim, and he didn't want to give Looney and Mitsuiki and others a chance to retaliate.

This weird atmosphere at the scene also made the auctioneer a little at a loss. He glanced at Mr. Mountain, the No. 1 seed, and said:

"Gentlemen, you can bid now."

Liu Qingshan still turned the number plate in his hand calmly, but he didn't raise it.

His action even aroused the suspicion of some bidders present: Is this guy not interested in aircraft carriers again?

In the past two days, they also heard some rumors that Mr. Mountain's appetite has grown after owning another oil field, and he is negotiating with the shipyard to purchase a cruiser.

This news came from Makarov, the head of the shipyard, and should be more reliable.

Thinking about it, it is still very likely. Getting an aircraft carrier without weapons and equipment can only be used as a decoration, but a cruiser is different. It is a real killer. In the backward place of Lilan, it can really dominate.

However, Comrade Makarov looked down on Mr. Mountain and publicly told reporters that he would never sell the cruiser to an individual. That was an extremely irresponsible act.

With this episode, these people could not figure out Liu Qingshan's mind, and no one dared to bid.

What if he really didn't want it, and you jumped out to take over, wouldn't that be bad luck?

The auctioneer was really embarrassed. He coughed lightly and spoke again: "Gentlemen, you can bid now. Our reserve price is 190 million."

As soon as the voice fell, someone finally spoke, but it was not a bid.

I saw Boss Huo stood up and complained: "I have an opinion on this reserve price. It's too high. It hit the top all of a sudden. Can you adjust the price down?"

There is no precedent for this situation, but this time, the leadership of Xiaowu's side is really too ugly. Are they crazy because of poverty?

After Boss Huo sat down, Looney also stood up and expressed his opinion: "Yes, this reserve price is indeed not reasonable. Shouldn't you, the organizer, ask for our opinions in advance?"

Looney certainly had ulterior motives. The reserve price was too high, which scared everyone away from bidding. How could he raise the price for Liu Qingshan?

Afterwards, several other participants also expressed their opinions, which made the leadership of Xiaowu embarrassed.

They went out to hold a temporary meeting and made a few phone calls before returning to explain to the auctioneer.

The auctioneer finally breathed a sigh of relief and announced excitedly:

"After readjustment, the reserve price is set at 150 million US dollars, and each bid will be no less than 1 million. Now everyone can bid!"

Boss Huo also spoke again: "This time it's about right, but I still can't afford the price of 150 million. If I run a gambling ship, I will never make it back in my lifetime. Forget it."

The government officials stared at him: We have good food and drink here, and we are treated like masters. You just said you don't want to play anymore. So we have worked in vain, right?

Boss Huo didn't care. He gestured to others and then sat down to watch the show.

At this time, Liu Qingshan raised his sign: "Add one million."

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief: Finally a bid, waiting for you for a long time!

Rooney immediately followed up, raised his sign, and also added one million.

Soon after, several people raised their signs, and the price rose to 158 million.

The scene finally had some auction intentions, and it was no longer dead.

Liu Qingshan was indeed a weather vane. When he moved, others followed him.

Liu Qingshan naturally wrote down these followers in his little notebook. These guys would be his enemies in the future.

If there was a chance, Liu Qingshan would strike them without mercy.

No matter whether these people's intentions were against Liu Qingshan or the country Liu Qingshan represented.

Even Mitsui Mu mustered up his courage and raised a sign. He was not as thick-skinned as Boss Huo, so he had to symbolize it.

Unexpectedly, after he raised the sign, no one followed up. The scene seemed to have been paused.

"Mr. No. 15 bid 159 million. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"

The auctioneer took advantage of the opportunity to continue to mobilize the atmosphere on the scene.

However, this pause also disrupted the rhythm, and no one continued to bid.

Hehe, Boss Huo laughed, the sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Mitsui Mu who was not far away to hear.

Mitsui Mu's head buzzed, and he really wanted to slap himself hard: I told you to talk too much!

Because the number 15 sign was Mitsui Mu's code name.

If this aircraft carrier really fell into his hands, his father would probably throw a knife in front of him and force him to have a laparotomy.

The current Mitsui Group, no matter what, can no longer come up with more than 100 million funds.

"One hundred and fifty-nine million, the first time..."

The auctioneer spoke very slowly, and he didn't want to make a deal at this price, otherwise it would even affect his reputation as a white glove.

However, no one continued to bid on the spot.

Mitsui Mu's forehead began to sweat, and his eyes looked at Looney, his eyes full of help.

Although you can choose not to fulfill your obligations after the auction, if you do that, your reputation will be ruined, and you will be blacklisted by all auction houses in the future and will not be allowed to participate in auctions.

Moreover, the deposit paid would definitely not be returned. For Mitsui, the 5 million deposit was not a small amount.

Faced with Mitsui's pleading eyes, Looney could only pretend to ignore it. He did not want to be the buyer.

As the auction progressed, Looney began to doubt his judgment, because from all indications, Liu Qingshan did not show a posture of being determined to win the aircraft carrier.

Perhaps it was really as the reporters said, this guy was fickle and set his sights on other warships.

"One hundred and fifty-nine million, the second time..."

No matter how slow the auctioneer spoke, he would have to finish his words. He could only bite the bullet and shout the second time.

Mitsui's face turned green. He was really scared. He wanted to raise the price for Liu Qingshan, but when he was raising the price, he suddenly found that he was riding in a sedan chair.

Is this considered shooting himself in the foot?

Even the politicians in the city of Nikolayev looked grim: If we had known this would happen, why would we have held the auction? Wouldn't it be better to sell it for 190 million?

Now they made such a big show, but ended up selling at a loss, which is really laughable.

These people couldn't understand: who of the bidders didn't have a big family, why did they all become stingy when they arrived at the scene?

These Russians were still too isolated from the news and didn't understand the real intentions of these people, otherwise they wouldn't be so optimistic at the beginning.

And Hilton, who proposed this auction method, couldn't help but wipe his bald head with his hand, cursing in his heart:

These dandies are not good at doing things, but more at making trouble.

Hilton knew very well in his heart: Liu Qingshan must be determined to get the aircraft carrier.

But these family children are still too young, they can't judge the situation clearly, and they are timid and can't accomplish anything big.

What cruisers are just smoke bombs released by others, don't you even have this judgment?

Now it's good, it's like this, and in the end even he, the one who came up with the idea, has to blame.

In Hilton's eyes, Xiaowu's senior executives were all a bunch of fools.

But it was better this way, as it would be easier for him to fool people in the future.

Everyone present had their own concerns, and Mitsui Mu was the most miserable.

The cold sweat on his head was dripping down. If it wasn't in public, he would have wanted to kneel down:

Please, just increase the price, please!

At this time, Liu Qingshan turned his head and nodded to Mitsui Mu with a smile: "Mister Mitsui, congratulations."

At this moment, Liu Qingshan's smile was so terrifying in Mitsui Mu's eyes, as if it was the smile of a devil.

"One hundred and fifty-nine million, the first..."

Just as the auctioneer raised the hammer helplessly and was about to drop it, someone finally raised a sign, and an extremely vicissitudes of life sounded at the scene:

"I'll add one million."

Everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and Mitsui Mu was even more relieved, and he collapsed directly in his seat, breathing the air in big gulps.

Everyone looked at the person holding the placard, who turned out to be the black man who was over fifty years old. This was also his first bid.

There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and everyone seemed to be trying to find out the background of this black man.

The reporters were very capable and well-informed, and soon someone recognized him, so a name began to spread rapidly in the venue: Mandela.

That's right, it was the leader of South Africa, but he was not the president yet, and his reputation was not as widely praised as it was in later generations.

The auctioneer was excited again: "One hundred and sixty million, Mr. No. 25 bid one hundred and sixty million, is there anyone else bidding?"

Liu Qingshan turned his head and nodded to President Man. The two had met once and had a good chat.

However, as competitors on the field, Liu Qingshan did not shy away and raised the placard in his hand: "Add one million."

After that, he raised his hand to Looney and others and said: Please bid.
