In just a few minutes, the Golden Gate Bridge project has more than tripled from 300 million. It seems that the level of this auction is definitely the highest in the United States. The atmosphere at the auction site has begun to rise, and some people have already started Sweating!

The auctioneer smiled, and shouted in his provocative language: "Friends, 700 million, is there a higher bid, and is there any..." The auctioneer dragged his voice for a long time, and looked at the crowd. After searching carefully, after confirming that no one bid, he held up the gavel high, and finally said loudly: "700 million for the first time, 700 million for the second time, 700 million for the second time..." Suddenly he saw the price in the On the right side of the back row, someone raised the quotation card in his hand high, and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Oh my God, a gentleman quoted 1000 million! I have to confirm whether I read it wrong , No, there is no mistake, it is 1000 million! I now believe that today is definitely an unusual auction, and someone quoted a high price of 1000 million at the beginning..."

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 459 Hongmen Banquet (Part 0) (Second [-]

Now many people turned their attention to the back row, with incredible expressions on their faces. There were a few inconspicuous Chinese sitting there. The people in this auction have all gone through strict identity and fund verification before, which makes people have to believe it.

Ma Gongfu held the quotation board high, looking triumphant in the surprised eyes of the people.

"Is there anyone with a higher bid? 1000 million for the first time, 1000 million for the second time, 1000 million for the third time, deal!"

The Golden Gate Bridge project came into Qiao Zhiyong's pocket as he wished.

Next, Qiao Zhiyong did the same and harvested eight American industrial projects, namely the Orleans section railway project, the Memphis iron ore project, the Houston oil well mining project, the Dallas trade center construction project, the New York commercial residential project, and the Chicago Lakeside natural gas mining project. , Boston Passenger Line Project, Philadelphia Chesapeake Bay Port Construction Project, the acquisition of these nine projects brought Qiao Zhiyong's total bid to a jaw-dropping $9 million. I am guessing, what are the origins of these Chinese people and why they have such great strength. So far, the total amount of bids by Qiao Zhiyong alone has exceeded the one-month transaction quota of Ge's Auction House, and has also created an American auction. The highest single-day transaction volume since the business was launched!

Now, everyone is holding their breath, focusing on the last and most important auction item of this auction, the reconstruction project of downtown San Francisco after the earthquake.The reserve price is 5000 million US dollars, and people are paying attention to what kind of amazing move this Chinese will make!

Singapore, the new residence of the Yuan Mansion.

Yuan Shikai, Lu Yongxiang, and Fan Xuecheng left the theater garden in the front yard, and walked to the back yard under the guidance of the housekeeper and servants.

Yuan Shikai introduced to Lu and Fan the artificial beauty of the four places while walking. It seems that the designer really spent a lot of effort on the construction of this house, ranging from small flowers and trees to large pavilions and pavilions. They are all patchwork, and the craftsmen have almost moved the Suzhou gardens here intact, and there is no trace of man-made ax chiseling at all, so that people can enjoy the best gifts from nature when they are in it.

As he was walking, Liu Zhongji turned around and saw that there were more than [-] heavily armed guards behind Fan Xuecheng, so he stopped, grinned at Fan Xuecheng, and said, "Mr. There are many female relatives, if your guards all go in, it may be very inconvenient, you see..."

Fan Juncheng blushed, hesitated for a moment, turned around and confessed to the captain of the guard: "You take ten brothers and follow me in, and the rest stay here and wait."

The captain of the guard said anxiously: "Commander, how can this be done, we are responsible for your safety, just in case..."

"Bastard! What if? Could it be that the governor will kill me in his new house!" Fan Xuecheng severely reprimanded his captain of the guard, and at the same time glanced at Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai is good at acting, so his face sank immediately, and he said: "If Commander Fan has any doubts, he has the right to treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs."

Fan Xuecheng hurriedly said: "Where, where. Your Excellency Governor is suspicious. If I, Fan Xuecheng, were a person who looked forward and backward, I would not have come to this church meeting."

Lu Yongxiang also smoothed things over and said: "Hehe, there are no such eight things at all. I, Lu Yongxiang, dare to be the guarantor. If someone dares to touch you, Commander Fan, kill my surname Lu first. Brother, you and I are responsible for the security In Singapore, we need to assist the Governor-General, and we must also cooperate with local administrative affairs. Everyone is connected by blood. It’s not like there are so many secret intrigues in Beijing’s officialdom. The Governor-General has kindly invited us. It’s too unreasonable. I don’t care about you, anyway, I’m hungry now, if you don’t want to go to the banquet, I can go ahead.” As he spoke, Lu Yongxiang made a gesture to move forward.

Fan Xuecheng was squeezed by Yuan Shikai and Lu Yongxiang, his face was flushed, as if he was a ghost afraid of death, he gave the captain of the guard angrily, and cursed: "Son of a bitch, I will deal with you later!"

The three continued to move forward, but the housekeeper Liu Zhongji turned around and counted, and there were only eleven guards left behind Fan Xuecheng.

Everyone walked through halls and courtyards for a while, and finally came to a courtyard, which is located deep in the Yuan Mansion, the courtyard is not big, and two or three locust trees were planted in the middle, covering the entire courtyard with shadows of trees dancing around. Occasionally, there are a few insect singing, which brings out the tranquility and elegance here.

To the north are three houses, all of which are blue-gray brick walls, red and green glazed tiles, and white pine rafters, all of which look more antique and give people a sense of being outside the world.

Fan Xuecheng took a deep breath of the fragrance of pine wood and soil, and couldn't help but praise: "Good place, Mr. Governor is really elegant."

Yuan Shikai smiled and did not answer, but made a gesture of invitation, and the three of them walked into the main hall together.

Fan Xuecheng's guards were about to follow in, but Liu Zhongji stretched out his hand to block the way. He said solemnly: "Brothers, I have something to say first. It is your duty to protect the safety of Commander Fan. I I can't say anything, but this room is reserved for the governor and the two army commanders to have a banquet, and depending on your identities, it might not be appropriate to go in."

The captain of the guard froze for a moment, speechless.Fan Xuecheng turned around and glared at the captain of the guard: "What are you messing with, can you come in here too? Honestly, stay outside!"

Liu Zhongji hurriedly smiled again: "Yes, yes, since you are guests of the Yuan Mansion, you must not neglect the brothers. We have already prepared a banquet in the West Wing Room, please go there for a little dinner together." How about a few drinks?"

When the captain of the guard heard this, he had no choice but to agree, and the guards under him were eager to eat and drink to be happy, so they walked into the west wing room under the guidance of Liu Zhongji...

Yuan Shikai, Lu Yongxiang, and Fan Xuecheng walked into the main hall, where a table for the Eight Immortals had already been arranged, and the three sat down as guests and hosts.From the inner room came three young girls who looked as beautiful as flowers and jade, and they filled a cup of fragrant tea for each of them.Fan Xuecheng has been in the army all his life. Even though he has no worries about food and clothing, he has never enjoyed this kind of happiness. The girl next to him is only seventeen or eighteen years old. A pair of plain hands are as soft as boneless.The cup of green tea in front of me filled the room with fragrance even before I drank it.Fan Xuecheng had a smile on his face, and he felt a little drunk before drinking.

The three drank tea for a while and chatted about irrelevant officialdom for a while. Yuan Shikai looked at his pocket watch and ordered "serve".The three girls shuttled back and forth constantly, and dishes of exquisite dishes were served from the inner room at a regular price. coveted.

Yuan Shikai laughed loudly and said: "All these were transported overnight from Hangzhou by car and boat, and the master who was in charge of the spoon was also invited from the famous Louwailou in the south of the Yangtze River. Let's take a look at my Dukang wine. Come and pour it liquor!"

The three girls filled up the wine for the three of them respectively. Fan Xuecheng only felt the smell of the wine, impatiently put the cup on his lips and sipped it, full of praise.Yuan Shikai picked up his wine glass and said: "It's rare to invite two army commanders to my house today. Yuan is very happy. Come, let's have a drink together. In the future, the overall situation of Singapore will depend on the support of the two. Woolen cloth."

Lu Yongxiang smiled and said: "What is the governor talking about, you are in charge of the overall situation of Singapore, and we naturally only follow your lead, Commander Fan, don't you think so?"

Fan Xuecheng replied dizzily: "Uh...that's natural, that's natural, hehe..."

The three of them had a drink together.

Yuan Shikai picked up his wine glass again, sighed, and said to Fan Xuecheng: "Brother, there are no outsiders here, so I might as well just say it straight. I'm really sorry for what happened last time. I blame Yuan for offending me so much. There is no way to teach a child, and I drink this glass of wine as an apology."

When Fan Xuecheng heard this, he felt a little bit sorry, that Perfume King was just a kiln sister when he told Da Tianer, and it was Yuan Keding who fell in love with him first. Suddenly, Yuan Shikai, the dignified governor, was made unable to step down. Now that Yuan Shikai can ignore the past and treat him with such hospitality, he really feels a little sorry, so he quickly raised his glass and said, "My lord, there is something wrong with this little brother, alas, Don't say anything, let's drink this cup together, and treat it as if it never happened, how about it?"

Yuan Shikai laughed loudly and said, "Happy, I see that my brother is a man of great affairs. Come, let's drink this cup together!"

The two gulped down their drinks, looked at each other and laughed.

Lu Yongxiang said: "Don't let all of you drink such a good wine. Come on, let me have a fun too. Let the three of us have another drink."

Everyone applauded loudly and drank another cup.

After drinking three glasses of wine, Fan Xuecheng already felt a little dizzy, after all, he hadn't eaten a bite of food yet.Yuan Shikai raised his chopsticks and said, "Come on, how about trying the handicraft of Hangzhou Lou Wai Lou Master? First try this West Lake vinegar fish."

Lu Yongxiang and Fan Xuecheng each took a chopstick, tasted it, and couldn't help nodding their heads in admiration: "It's really extraordinary, I've never eaten such delicious fish before."

Yuan Shikai narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile: "There is an allusion to this dish, I wonder if you two would like to hear it?"

The two put down their chopsticks together, stretched their necks and said, "Okay, let's talk about it, I didn't expect that today I can not only earn back the food and drink of the governor, but also learn a lot."

Resurrection: World War II Chapter 4 Hongmen Banquet

Yuan Shikai said slowly: "West Lake Vinegar Fish is also called Uncle Chuanzhen. According to legend, there were two brothers surnamed Song in ancient times. , Lu met a woman who was washing yarn by the lake. Seeing her beauty, she wanted to occupy her. After sending someone to inquire, it turned out that this woman was Brother Song's wife, so she used conspiracy to kill Brother Song. The infringement made the uncle and sister-in-law of the Song family very angry. The two of them went to the government to file a lawsuit, hoping to uphold justice and punish the villain. They didn't know that the government at that time had the same nostrils with the evil forces. Instead of accepting their complaints, they punished them. They were beaten with sticks and drove them out of the government. After returning home, Sister-in-law Song told Brother Song to pack up and flee quickly, so as not to be followed by villains to retaliate. Before leaving, sister-in-law cooked a bowl of fish with sugar and vinegar, cooking it in a strange way. Brother Song asked his sister-in-law: How did the fish cook like this today? The sister-in-law said: Fish can be sweet and sour. I want you to go out this time. Don’t forget how your brother died. If your life is sweet, don’t forget In addition to the bitterness of the common people being bullied, don’t forget the bitterness of your sister-in-law’s hatred. The younger brother was very excited, ate the fish, and left with his sister-in-law’s heart in mind. Enemy, punish that scoundrel. But at this time Mrs. Song had run away and could not be found. Once, Brother Song went out to a banquet, and during the banquet, he ate a dish that tasted like what his sister-in-law cooked when he left home. He hurriedly asked who burned it, only to realize that it was his sister-in-law's masterpiece. It turned out that after he left, in order to avoid being entangled by villains, sister-in-law hid her name and hid in the government's house to work as a cook. Brother Song was very happy to find his sister-in-law. I was happy, so I resigned from the official position, took my sister-in-law back home, and started to live a life of fishing for a living. Later, someone ate this dish, and wrote a poem on the wall of the restaurant: "Skirts and clogs together Get drunk, go up to the terrace in the shadow of the green sun, how many lake boats are in front of the door, and half come back from the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon. Why bother to look for Zhang Han's perch (the famous West Lake vinegar fish is better than the delicious Songjiang perch), the delicious fish is said to be the West Lake, thanks to you With this reconciling hand, I knew nothing about Mrs. Song back then." The last sentence of the poem refers to the legend of the creation of "West Lake Vinegar Fish."

Lu Yongxiang sighed while drinking: "A person's life will be unfair in seven or eight cases, so it's better to have fun in time. Come, come, drink!"

The three of them had another drink, and Fan Xuecheng always felt a little awkward listening to this story, as if the matter between himself and Yuan Keding some time ago was somewhat similar, but Yuan Shikai didn't seem to mean something.

At this moment, I saw an adjutant brought by Lu Yongxiang hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear. Lu Yongxiang's face suddenly turned pale, and then he got up and smiled awkwardly, saying: "Governor My lord, Commander Fan, I'm really sorry, I need to go back to deal with something urgent, it seems that I don't have the good fortune to enjoy such good food..."

Yuan Shikai said in surprise: "Isn't this all right just now? Just leave as you say, no, you have to drink to the end of whatever you say."

Sweat broke out on Lu Yongxiang's head, and he said anxiously: "Don't blame me, my lord, I really have to go back and deal with it..."

Fan Xuecheng also asked, "What's the rush?"

Lu Yongxiang waved his hand: "Oh, family matters, family matters, don't mention them, it will make people laugh."
