Hello 1983

All of them could only keep their faces ashen, and secretly luck in their hearts: See you at the auction!

At this time, the reporters who couldn't wait for a long time finally gathered around and began to ask Liu Qingshan questions:

"Mr. Mountain, when will you become a Leland citizen?"

"Mr. Mountain, what is the purpose of your purchase of an aircraft carrier?"

The latter question was the most frequently asked, so Liu Qingshan followed this up and said first:

"It's very simple. I own oil fields in Liland, and I need to have enough power to protect my property."

A female reporter asked with a smile, "Is it because Liland is in chaos?"

Liu Qingshan said seriously: "No, beautiful lady, what you said is old news."

"Although the political situation in Liland has been relatively turbulent in recent years, all tribes have put aside their prejudices and fully cooperated to continue exploring oil fields at sea."

"Even the previous pirate business has been abandoned, so my country is getting better and better."

Because Liland is relatively remote, the news is not very smooth, and the reporters don't know what's going on there.

Hearing what Liu Qingshan said, the reporters couldn't help being surprised: Are all the pirates abandoning evil and doing good?

Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile: "You can ask Mr. Looney and Mr. Tony Getty about this. Their oil company is cooperating with the local tribes in Liland."

The reporters hurriedly went to find Looney and the others, only to see those few sitting alone on the sofa, looking like little pissed off daughters-in-law who had been neglected.

When Liu Qingshan didn't come just now, they also enjoyed the treatment of the stars.

But with the presence of Liu Qingshan, the current situation has changed.

Compared with Liu Qingshan, their popularity is far worse.

One is the rich generation who started their own businesses and has many talents; the other group does not know how many generations are rich, relying on the inheritance of the family, this is what makes them look like dogs.

These two types of people are of course very different.

The reporters didn't bother to go over and asked directly here: "Mr. Looney, is that so?"

Looney was so angry that he simply stood up and walked away. Before leaving, he said:

"Mr. Mountain, let's see you at the auction and see if you have more oil wells or our family has more oil wells!"

At this moment, I saw a group of people rushing in, headed by a well-known reporter, who shouted loudly:

"Big news, another large oil field has just been discovered in Liland!"

Looney stopped in his tracks immediately, and then laughed loudly: "Haha, this must have been explored by our Rockefeller Company. We have sent a total of five exploration teams!"

Rockefeller?The reporter who reported the news just now was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:

"No, it's still the place called Rainbow City, and a large oil field was discovered in the sea area where it belongs, which belongs to Mr. Mountain's territory."

Liu Qingshan walked up to the reporter: "Man, thank you for the news. If you have time, you can come to my place for a drink."

"Mr. Mountain, congratulations, your wealth has increased again."

The reporter was overjoyed, not to mention whether there would be any benefits if he went there, this kind of treatment alone was a kind of honor.

Liu Qingshan then turned to Luni: "Sorry, I have two oil fields now, maybe I will think about it and replace one of them with an aircraft carrier."

shit!

Looney cursed inwardly, then turned back to the room without a word.

He wondered, are the company's exploration ships all waste?

Several ships added together are no match for one of them, they are simply a bunch of waste.

What makes Luni even more depressed is that Liu Qingshan's wealth has increased sharply. I'm afraid no one can compete with him in this auction.

How did Looney know that Liu Qingshan bought the mining rights for the several sea areas that may produce oil.

As for the money that Rockefeller bought the sea area exploration rights, it is destined to be thrown into the sea for nothing.

Seeing Looney and others leave in a huff, Mitsuigi from the island country also felt that it was boring. Instead of staring at him here, he might as well go back to his room and sleep, out of sight and out of mind.

Stimulated by the news of the new oil field, the reporters also became more energetic, arrested Liu Qingshan, and bombarded him wildly.

The name of the lucky child has also become more resounding because of this.

After dealing with the reporters, Liu Qingshan picked up Boss Huo and returned to the yacht.

"Brother Qingshan, even I am a little jealous of you now." Boss Huo also envied Liu Qingshan's good luck.

Oil fields are not so easy to find, and Liu Qingshan never imagined that Li Sanjing's character exploded this time, so he could change his name to Li Yijing.

Liu Qingshan was not complacent about it either. When Li Tie came back from General Vasily's house, he brought a lot of materials, all of which were bidders who participated in the auction.

"So many?" Boss Huo looked at the more than 30 documents visited on the table, and he was a little confused.

Liu Qingshan blinked: "It's not bad, at least it can make us open our eyes and see who are friends and who are enemies."

Three days later, in an auditorium of the Nikolayev City Hall, the world's first aircraft carrier auction officially opened.

Chapter 962 Please Bid

The auditorium in Nikolayev City was full early on.

This auditorium can accommodate roughly 500 people. Although there are only more than 30 people participating in the auction, plus the assistants they brought, as well as various journalists, and some political figures in the city, the huge auditorium is crowded. It's full.

Liu Qingshan was already in place, he was the first to sign up, so he held the No. [-] card in his hand.

By his side, only Li Tie followed.

Boss Huo was in the back row, also holding a number plate in his hand. He was relatively relaxed because he knew what his mission was, which was to cover Liu Qingshan and successfully take down the aircraft carrier.

The first few rows were filled with bidders, including Luni, Mitsuki and others, staring at Liu Qingshan unkindly.

A more interesting phenomenon is that most of the participants in the auction are young people, and the reason is unknown.

The only exception is that among a group of young talents, there is a gray-haired black man sitting around 50 years old, wearing a pair of flower glasses, and reading the materials in his hand.

The rows of seats behind the bidders belonged to the guest seats, and all the dignitaries of the city were seated.

General Vasily was also on the list, and next to him sat Vera, who was just young, her eyes flicked forward from time to time, and she was looking at Li Tie's side.

Liu Qingshan also saw that Mr. Duck Eggshell. This time, Hilton didn't have a bodyguard with him, only a female assistant.

The last few rows are the press seats, with many cameras set up.

At [-] in the morning, Mr. Mayor took the stage and delivered a short speech, mainly greeting the guests and other clichés.

As the mayor announced the start of the auction, a professional auctioneer came on stage. This auctioneer was invited from Sotheby's auction house and belonged to the white gloves.

The middle-aged auctioneer bowed first, and then said:

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

Liu Qingshan took the lead and slapped his hands lightly a few times. The atmosphere at the scene was a bit tense and depressing. Liu Qingshan didn't really like this kind of atmosphere.

The auctioneer briefly introduced the rules of the auction: Each time the price is increased, it should not be less than 100 million, and the highest bidder wins.

As for the reserve price of the auction, the leaders of Nikolayev City directly set it at 9000 million at the behest of some people above.

This price was actually Liu Qingshan's initial asking price. Obviously, Xiaowu's leadership wanted 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 be completely split up. Before the separation, no one wants to make more money.

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

It's just that after his words were over, none of the more than thirty bidders below made a bid, and the scene was silent for more than a minute.

There was a little sweat on the forehead of the white gloves: No way, you came all the way here, didn't you just come here for the aircraft carrier?

The reporters in the last few rows also started whispering. This strange situation also exceeded their expectations.

In everyone's mind, you fight over each other and sparks fly, which is the proper rhythm.

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

But what they saw was that Liu Qingshan was leisurely fiddling with the number plate in his hand, without any intention of bidding.

Of course Liu Qingshan is not in a hurry, he will not take the initiative to jump out and become a target.

And Liu Qingshan, the weathervane, did not bid, and people like Luni and Mitsuiki did not dare to bid.

Their purpose is to block Liu Qingshan, if the target does not appear, what are they blocking?

In case of arrears, shout out a price, and then everyone bids, wouldn't the aircraft carrier fall into their hands?

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

Although there are more than 30 people participating in the auction, there are not many people who really want it.

Boss Huo was a little impatient, but he kept in mind the plan that Liu Qingshan had discussed with him last night, so he forcibly held back and didn't raise his placard.

Because if he raises a placard to bid the price, the reason is similar to that of Liu Qingshan, and he will be blocked by those from European and American countries.

In this way, the price will rise after going back and forth.

Although Liu Qingshan was determined to win the aircraft carrier, he didn't want to be taken advantage of, and he didn't want to give Looney, Mitsuki and others a chance to take revenge.

The weird atmosphere at the scene also made the auctioneer a little at a loss. He glanced at the No. [-] seed player, Mr. Mountain, and said:

"Gentlemen, you can bid now."

Liu Qingshan was still on the ground, flipping the number plate in his hand over and over again, but he didn't lift it up.

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

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

This news came from Makarov, the person in charge of the shipyard, so it should be more reliable.

Thinking about it, it is still very possible. An aircraft carrier without weapons and equipment can only be used as a display, but the cruiser is different. It is a real killer. In the backward place of Liland, it can indeed be the king. .

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

With this episode, these people are even more unable to understand Liu Qingshan's mind, and no one dares to bid.

In case people really don't want it, isn't it bad luck for you to jump out and be the receiver?

The auctioneer was really embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said again: "Gentlemen, everyone can bid now. Our reserve price is 9000 million."

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

Boss Huo stood up and complained: "I have a problem with this reserve price. It's too high, and it hits the top all at once. Can you lower the price?"

There is no precedent for this kind of situation, but this time, Xiaowu's leadership is a bit too ugly, poor and crazy, right?

After Boss Huo sat down, Looney also got up and said, "That's right, the base price is really not reasonable. Shouldn't your organizer ask for our opinion in advance?"

Of course, Looney had ulterior motives, the reserve price was too high, and everyone was afraid to bid, so what competition is there, how could he raise the price for Liu Qingshan?

Afterwards, several participants also expressed their opinions one after another, which made Xiao Wu's leadership feel ashamed.

They went out for an impromptu 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 base price is set at 5000 million US dollars, and each increase is not less than 100 million. Now everyone can bid!"

Boss Huo also spoke again: "It's about the same this time, but I still can't afford the price of 5000 million. If you are a gambling boat, you will never make it back in your life, so forget it."

Those government officials all stared at him: We eat delicious food here, and serve it like an uncle. If you just say a word and stop playing, we are all busy working together, right?

Boss Huo didn't care, he reached out his hand to the others, and then sat down to watch the show.

At this time, Liu Qingshan held up his number plate: "Add 100 million."

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief: I finally bid, I have been waiting for you for a long time!

Looney followed immediately, raised his sign, and added 100 million.

Immediately, a few more people raised their placards, and the price rose one after another to 800 million.

The scene finally felt like an auction, and it was no longer lifeless.

Liu Qingshan was indeed a weather vane, as soon as he moved, someone followed him.

Liu Qingshan naturally kept these followers in his notebook, these guys will be his enemies in the future.

If there is a chance, Liu Qingshan will hit him unceremoniously and show no mercy.

Regardless of whether these people's intentions are aimed at Liu Qingshan or the country represented by Liu Qingshan.
