Xi Qing never expected that he would be treated as a liar just because he was holding something. He was stunned for a while, and when he was about to explain a few words, he suddenly found a figure popping up beside him.
"Oh my god! Is this a cherry?!"
Xi Qing stared at the gray-haired old man in front of him, and nodded.
Xi Qing was going to take out all the things in the backpack just now, but in the end he only took out a box of cherries, and when he heard the appraiser saying that he was going to be kicked out, he was shocked and prepared to explain, so he didn't I had time to put down the cherries in my hand.
Staring at the big, red, and beautiful agate-like cherries in the box for a long time, the old man reluctantly looked away, and looked at the appraiser beside him: "Bastard! Why did you put this The guests are driven out? Are you blind with such a good fruit?"
The originally high-spirited appraiser immediately apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, Master Lin, I didn't know this little brother had such a good fruit, I saw him hesitating..."
"As long as anyone who can enter the auction has been strictly inspected, how can you conclude that he does not have an invitation letter? Are you more professional than those machines outside? If that is the case, then you should guard the gate." Master Lin said coldly Said loudly.
The appraiser panicked immediately, he knew that Master Lin was definitely not joking, as long as he said that, he would definitely not be able to survive in the auction house: "Master Lin, I was really wrong, I will never do this again next time .”
Master Lin didn't want to look at him at all. There are many appraisers here, but distinguished guests are rare. From the moment Xi Qing took out the cherries, Master Lin knew that this was definitely a distinguished guest from their auction house. He would not To offend him for an appraiser whose hands and feet have been dirty for a long time.
Master Lin waved his hand, signaling the security to drag out the appraiser who kept begging for mercy, and then looked at Xi Qing kindly: "Hello, my name is Lin, and I'm also an appraiser of this auction house. What do you call my little brother?"
"My name is Latiao." Xi Qing said with a smile.
Since he couldn’t reveal his identity, Xi Qing thought of a name for himself at will. There is no spicy bar in StarCraft, and it is estimated that no one will make it in the future. In addition, Xi Qing really misses the spicy bar on Earth, so he said this.
Spicy strips?
Why does this name feel a bit strange?
Master Lin frowned, and continued to ask: "Mr. Spicy, did you come here to auction cherries?"
"Yes, but more than that." Xi Qing said, and continued to take the things he brought from the backpack. Of course, in order to prevent the mustache from falling off, he still moved slowly.
Just like that, Master Lin watched helplessly as the man with a strange face and a strange name took out cherries, cantaloupe, green grapes and ginseng from his backpack at a snail's speed.
Xi Qing brought a lot of things, so much that the table in front of him was already full and he couldn't put it down. In the end, he held two bags of ginseng in his hand. placed on the ground.
The corners of Master Lin's eyes kept twitching: "..." Such a precious ginseng, you just throw it on the ground like this?
Although it was not his own, Master Lin felt his heart was bleeding when he saw it, quickly picked up the two bags of ginseng, put them on his seat, and asked standing up, "May I ask a question?" , Are you the investor of No. [-] Orchard?"
After corn became popular among the stars, regarding its origin, First Orchard explained that it was a variety brought by their new investor.
Now everyone on the Internet is discussing who this mysterious investor will be, but the first orchard's confidentiality work is too good, and no news has been released, making the identity of the "investor" confusing.
Although Master Lin usually doesn't surf the Internet very much, the popularity of corn is too high. He is also a fan of corn, and he also secretly learned a lot of conjectures about the identity of investors.
So when he saw Xi Qing took out so many rare fruits and medicinal materials, he subconsciously thought that he was the investor.
Xi Qing nodded: "That's right, it's me."
Xi Qing's plan early in the morning was to combine these two identities, so he immediately admitted it.
Master Lin's eyes lit up: "Then you don't plan to auction the corn too?"
He unknowingly put on his honorific title. Although these things in front of him are very precious, the corn left a deep impression on Master Lin, and he believed that if corn appeared in their auction, it would definitely be a big deal. to expand the popularity of their auctions.
Unfortunately, Xi Qing shook his head.
Master Lin could only turn his eyes back to the current fruits with regret, but to his surprise, not only cherries, but all the fruits Xi Qing brought out were extremely fresh and of good color, even the ones that had never been on the market No matter how popular the green grapes are, they are all tender and smooth, and you can smell the sweet and fruity aroma from a distance.
Master Lin immediately became more solemn. Although he is not as accessible to precious fruits as Huo Yan, he still knows about cherries and cantaloupe. The former is a gift given to the emperor by the Academy of Sciences, while the latter It directly created the auction record of the year.
These fruits caused an uproar at the time, but the quality of the fruits Xi Qing brought out was more than ten times better than the previous ones.
Not to mention the two bags full of 30-year-old ginseng. Although the age is not as good as the [-]-year-old ginseng that the royal family asked for from the Liao family, its appearance and completion are much better.
Master Lin's hands were trembling slightly, and he had a premonition that this auction would become the most sensational one ever.
-
When Xi Qing came out of the office, he happened to bump into Shen Jian who came to look for him.
Shen Jian took two steps closer and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"No, let's go."
The two returned to the auction venue, and just as they sat down, the lights dimmed, and the auctioneer walked onto the stage amidst everyone's expectations.
"There are a lot of auction items today, but the ones in the front are not interesting, and the most important things are in the back." Huo Yan handed the auction catalog to Xi Qing.
Leaving good things behind is a consistent method of auctions, which can actively arouse everyone's interest and improve the atmosphere of the venue.
Xi Qing opened the catalog and looked, and found that the items in the front were basically rare calligraphy, paintings and antique books, while the energy stones and asteroids that really caught the eye were placed at the end.
Just like what Huo Yan said, at the beginning the bids were made by people from small families. They didn't have much budget, and they didn't have the strength to compete for the valuables at the back, so they put their energy in the front.
But in the middle of the auction, a sudden change occurred, and a dark photo was put up.
There was nothing in this photo except for the black as deep as ink. Everyone looked at it in confusion, and some people couldn't help asking: "What is this?"
The auctioneer smiled and said, "This is a mine vein, which contains energy stones."
As soon as this remark came out, there was an immediate uproar.
Everyone knows how important energy stones are, and now in front of everyone, there is a whole vein of mines, which may be able to mine countless ores. If you can win this vein, you will not only have no worries about food and drink , even the whole family will benefit greatly.
But soon someone noticed something was wrong: "Is this vein reliable?"
The price of a mineral lode must be priceless. If there is nothing in it, it is equivalent to spending a pile of gold in exchange for a basket of stones, and the gain outweighs the loss.
The auctioneer restrained his smile when he heard the words: "Not necessarily. Our appraiser found that there is a [-]% chance of finding ore in it after identification, but we don't know the exact number."
In other words, it can only depend on luck.
If you are lucky, there may be endless energy stones inside. If you are unlucky, it is very likely that the entire mountain will be hollowed out and you will not find a few pieces.
As soon as these words came out, the enthusiasm of many people was immediately extinguished.
Not everyone has the courage of the capital family. They don't have enough money to support them to gamble. If this is a real mine, which is sure to contain a lot of energy stones, it's okay, and they will not hesitate to spend a lot of money. The money was for one, but the answer given by the auction house was uncertain, so they had to give up their thoughts.
"The quotation is ten billion."
"My God, it's so high!"
"Just kidding, don't you even think that this is an energy stone!"
"With such a high price, no one can afford it except the few families in the capital, right?"
As soon as the auctioneer announced the price, many people started discussing it.
Listening to their conversation, Xi Qing looked at Huo Yan with some doubts: "Shall we shoot later?"
In fact, Xi Qing didn’t want to shoot. He never liked gambling, no matter what it was, because it was like leaving his life to the gods to decide, and you could only stand on the sidelines and keep praying. There is nothing else to do.
However, the price of ore veins is much cheaper than the same amount of energy stones. If the content of energy stones in this ore vein can reach 30.00%, and if it is mined and sold, it will definitely add [-]% to the current price. More than double.
"Shoot." Huo Yan said, "But let Shen Jian do it."
Xi Qing always felt that there were other meanings in Huo Yan's words, but it's not safe to have ears on the wall, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After the venue became a little quieter, the auctioneer said, "The bidding begins."
In fact, everyone thought that the bidding this time would be very slow. After all, there were too many uncertainties in the vein and the price was too high. If you want to make a sale, you must carefully consider it. But unexpectedly, the auctioneer just finished speaking. Someone raised the number plate: "110 billion."
"Wow—"
One hundred million was added to the bidding so quickly!
Everyone looked in the direction of the placard. Everyone thought they would see someone who was an upstart with a lot of money, but they didn't expect that person to be Huo Yan's adjutant Shen Jian.
Even though Huo Yan has been demoted now, Shen Jian has changed from a general to a major general, but everyone knows that no matter what he does, he represents Huo Yan, that is to say, the person who actually ordered the bidding is Huo Yan.
"Huo Yan is so fierce? Is he very sure?"
"I don't know, maybe I want the Huo family to rise too much, and put all my treasures on it."
There were constant discussions, and Yu Jie, who was not able to sit still, motioned to the assistants around him. The next second, they also raised their number plates: "110 billion 5000 million."
Yu Cheng, who had been watching this side closely, squinted his eyes, and shook his head at the assistant beside him: "Wait a minute."
Shen Jian didn't delay, and immediately continued to quote: "12 billion."
Yu Jie also followed: "12 billion."
"13 billion."
Amidst their successive quotations, Yucheng thought of what he heard in the bathroom today.
"Sir, are we sure we want to win today?" The voice was very familiar to Yu Cheng, and it was Yu Jie's assistant who was always by his side.
And Yu Jie, who was questioned by him, nodded: "Sure, the information is accurate, we can't let such a good thing be taken away by others."
In fact, the royal family has not always been able to sit on the throne of power safely and soundly.
For so many years in the empire, the position of the royal family has changed several times. Although it has always belonged to the Yu family, but now as the credibility of the royal family is getting lower and lower, its wealth and ability are also declining, and its status among the masses is not as high as before. up.
Correspondingly, the power of the government began to gather continuously. Once the government's public support rate surpassed that of the royal family, they would be able to re-election and overthrow the existing royal family.
The two announcements about Huo Yan issued by the military department before have greatly reduced the impression of the royal family in the hearts of the masses. If nothing is done to save the image now, Yu Jie is afraid that it will not be his father's turn to retire. The house is about to pack up and get out.
So today's energy stone vein must be taken.
After he left with his assistant, Yucheng slowly came out of the bathroom. Although Yujie didn't say clearly what they wanted, Yucheng already knew it from the undercover agent next to Yujie. What is it.
A lode.
Harmony in the family, brotherhood and brotherhood are never words suitable for the royal family. What they have is just calculating each other and guarding against each other. Yucheng also doesn't feel that he has any relationship with his two brothers other than interests.
So as early as several years ago, he bought an assistant beside Yu Jie. After so many years of testing by Yu Cheng, he has confirmed that that person is 100% loyal to him.
So when the assistant secretly handed over to Yucheng the news that Yujie had secretly received—"There will be an ore vein with a content of energy stones as high as 70.00% for sale at the auction" to Yucheng, he was preparing for today's auction.
However, Yucheng was very suspicious, and waited until he was sure he had seen Yu Jie's reaction at the auction before deciding whether he wanted to participate in the bidding.
"130 million."
At the time of Yucheng Huangshen, the bidding for the mine had already reached a high price of 130 billion.
In the beginning, there were still many aristocratic families participating in the bidding, but by this time, only Huo Yan and Yu Jie were left to bid.
It just so happened that these two people were his deadly enemies, and what they were fighting for was exactly what he had his eye on.
Yucheng didn't delay any longer, and raised his card: "130 billion."
The moment he opened his mouth, Yu Jie became anxious. He didn't expect that not only Huo Yan, but also Yu Cheng would start making trouble. He frowned, and finally chose to follow the price: "130 six!"
"Marshal, are you still calling?" Shen Jian asked in a low voice.
"Call."
Shen Jian nodded: "140 billion!"
At this point in the bidding, Xi Qing gradually realized something was wrong. Huo Yan beside him, why didn't he seem nervous at all?
If it's a real mineral vein, and Huo Yan really wants to get it, he shouldn't be so calm anyway, isn't it so simple?
The matter was indeed not simple. After a while, Xi Qing suddenly discovered that Shen Jian had quietly withdrawn from the bidding, while the two brothers of the Yu family who were still raising the price did not notice at all.
The two of Yucheng really didn't notice it, they were so envious now that their necks were thick, so they didn't care about Huo Yan's actions.
Shen Jian was actually a little puzzled. They could have raised the price even higher. After all, if you want to trick a fool, you have to be tougher, and Huo Yan has never been merciful, but today he specially shouted at him 170 After [-] million hours, it stopped.
Huo Yan noticed Shen Jian's doubts, and said in a low voice: "The limit of the royal family is almost reached."
Compared with some aristocratic families in the capital star, the royal family does not have much property. After all, they do not have many income channels. If Shen Jian keeps raising the price to the point where they cannot pay, then no matter how much the other party wants the mineral vein , could only reluctantly refuse.
What Huo Yan said was right. After Shen Jian withdrew from the bidding, the price quickly hovered around 80 billion. Even if it was added, it was no longer [-] million as before, but tens of millions or even millions. Increased.
In the end, this vein was auctioned off by Yu Jie for 180 billion.
Yu Jie, who had successfully obtained the mineral vein, raised his head high towards Yu Cheng like a victorious fighting cock, and the latter looked away viciously, and left the venue without saying a word.
For Yu Jie's successful acquisition of the mine, the entire venue burst into loud applause. Everyone knew that if the mine was really worth the price, the status of the royal family would be completely different from what it is now.
People who can get to this point are all human beings. Although they hate the royal family, they never show it in front of others, and congratulate them for their good luck. After all, interests come first.
Amid the warm applause, Yu Jie looked in Huo Yan's direction provocatively. When he saw him bow his head and say nothing, he already believed in his heart that Huo Yan must be downcast.
The sarcasm on his face became deeper and deeper: "After all, today is different from the past, our Marshal, let's focus more on those handicrafts."
After Huo Yan heard this, he stood up angrily, as if he was about to say something, but thinking that this was an auction, he finally sat back with a sullen face.
His reaction greatly pleased Yu Jie, and he felt more and more in his heart that he had done a great deed.
After the venue became quiet again, the auction proceeded to the second half.
But with the emergence of mineral veins, the highly anticipated energy stones and planets in the second half seem to have lost their appeal.
However, Xi Qing is still the same as before, especially looking forward to the energy stone being available soon, but the auction before that is an asteroid.
Asteroids have always been expensive, and this time is no exception.
Looking at the soaring price, Xi Qing sighed: "I wish I could afford to buy an asteroid sometime."
Huo Yan heard the words: "Want?"
"That's right, the planet, it must be able to grow a lot of food."
Huo Yan: "..." He has never seen it before, and he only wanted planets for better farming.
Huo Yan whispered: "No need to buy, I have many planets."
"Huh?" Xi Qing was taken aback.
Huo Yan did have a lot of planets. The Huo family's assets included planets, plus the rewards they received after years of military exploits, and the trophies they got from the Zerg, there were already six planets alone.
"And one of them is covered with grass."
When Huo Yan said this, Xi Qing's breathing was stagnant. He knew that Huo Yan had a planet full of grass from a long time ago. Since then, it has become Xi Qing's dream. Thinking of it, Huo Yan suddenly said it.
Xi Qing quickly sat up straight, his eyes glowing: "What about that planet?"
Huo Yan said something, but Xi Qing didn't hear it clearly, because there was a sudden loud shock around him, Xi Qing raised his head with some doubts, and in the next second, he saw the fruits and vegetables being displayed by the auctioneer under the light. ginseng.
Everyone thought that today's surprise was only the mineral lode photographed by Yu Jie, but they didn't expect that there would be such a good fruit and so many ginsengs. After seeing this scene, everyone was surprised.
After all, although mineral veins are rare, they have at least seen them, but such a good fruit on the stage is really unheard of.
"I don't think I need to introduce the quality of this kind of fruit. Take the cherries dedicated to the emperor by the Academy of Sciences as an example. Our appraiser gave the standard. If it is the A-level standard, then the ones in front of me are 3S level standard."
As soon as this remark came out, no one hesitated anymore. The words of the appraiser in the auction house are guaranteed. Since they can give such a disparate evaluation, it means that this thing is really good.
"The starting price is 8000 million."
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, someone immediately began to raise placards:
"9000"
"One Billion"
……
Listening to the higher and higher prices, Xi Qing almost couldn't control the smile on his face. When he was about to distract Huo Yan with a few words, he suddenly found that Huo Yan raised his hand slightly.
"What do you want to do?"
Huo Yan smiled: "Bidding."
"No, don't!"
Although it is reasonable for these fruits to be so expensive in Interstellar, but after living on Earth for a long time, every time Xi Qing sets the price, he will have the illusion that he is cheating people. Although today's price is set by the appraiser, it is still It's quite expensive, and it's okay to cheat others, but not to cheat your own people.
Xi Qing quickly grabbed Huo Yan's hand: "If you want, I can give it to you, as much as you want, don't buy this, those are sold to others."
Huo Yan looked at the hand he put on his palm, and when he heard the "others" he said, the smile on his lips grew bigger and bigger.
Finally, he nodded: "OK."
"Oh my god! Is this a cherry?!"
Xi Qing stared at the gray-haired old man in front of him, and nodded.
Xi Qing was going to take out all the things in the backpack just now, but in the end he only took out a box of cherries, and when he heard the appraiser saying that he was going to be kicked out, he was shocked and prepared to explain, so he didn't I had time to put down the cherries in my hand.
Staring at the big, red, and beautiful agate-like cherries in the box for a long time, the old man reluctantly looked away, and looked at the appraiser beside him: "Bastard! Why did you put this The guests are driven out? Are you blind with such a good fruit?"
The originally high-spirited appraiser immediately apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, Master Lin, I didn't know this little brother had such a good fruit, I saw him hesitating..."
"As long as anyone who can enter the auction has been strictly inspected, how can you conclude that he does not have an invitation letter? Are you more professional than those machines outside? If that is the case, then you should guard the gate." Master Lin said coldly Said loudly.
The appraiser panicked immediately, he knew that Master Lin was definitely not joking, as long as he said that, he would definitely not be able to survive in the auction house: "Master Lin, I was really wrong, I will never do this again next time .”
Master Lin didn't want to look at him at all. There are many appraisers here, but distinguished guests are rare. From the moment Xi Qing took out the cherries, Master Lin knew that this was definitely a distinguished guest from their auction house. He would not To offend him for an appraiser whose hands and feet have been dirty for a long time.
Master Lin waved his hand, signaling the security to drag out the appraiser who kept begging for mercy, and then looked at Xi Qing kindly: "Hello, my name is Lin, and I'm also an appraiser of this auction house. What do you call my little brother?"
"My name is Latiao." Xi Qing said with a smile.
Since he couldn’t reveal his identity, Xi Qing thought of a name for himself at will. There is no spicy bar in StarCraft, and it is estimated that no one will make it in the future. In addition, Xi Qing really misses the spicy bar on Earth, so he said this.
Spicy strips?
Why does this name feel a bit strange?
Master Lin frowned, and continued to ask: "Mr. Spicy, did you come here to auction cherries?"
"Yes, but more than that." Xi Qing said, and continued to take the things he brought from the backpack. Of course, in order to prevent the mustache from falling off, he still moved slowly.
Just like that, Master Lin watched helplessly as the man with a strange face and a strange name took out cherries, cantaloupe, green grapes and ginseng from his backpack at a snail's speed.
Xi Qing brought a lot of things, so much that the table in front of him was already full and he couldn't put it down. In the end, he held two bags of ginseng in his hand. placed on the ground.
The corners of Master Lin's eyes kept twitching: "..." Such a precious ginseng, you just throw it on the ground like this?
Although it was not his own, Master Lin felt his heart was bleeding when he saw it, quickly picked up the two bags of ginseng, put them on his seat, and asked standing up, "May I ask a question?" , Are you the investor of No. [-] Orchard?"

So when he saw Xi Qing took out so many rare fruits and medicinal materials, he subconsciously thought that he was the investor.
Xi Qing nodded: "That's right, it's me."
Xi Qing's plan early in the morning was to combine these two identities, so he immediately admitted it.
Master Lin's eyes lit up: "Then you don't plan to auction the corn too?"
He unknowingly put on his honorific title. Although these things in front of him are very precious, the corn left a deep impression on Master Lin, and he believed that if corn appeared in their auction, it would definitely be a big deal. to expand the popularity of their auctions.
Unfortunately, Xi Qing shook his head.
Master Lin could only turn his eyes back to the current fruits with regret, but to his surprise, not only cherries, but all the fruits Xi Qing brought out were extremely fresh and of good color, even the ones that had never been on the market No matter how popular the green grapes are, they are all tender and smooth, and you can smell the sweet and fruity aroma from a distance.
Master Lin immediately became more solemn. Although he is not as accessible to precious fruits as Huo Yan, he still knows about cherries and cantaloupe. The former is a gift given to the emperor by the Academy of Sciences, while the latter It directly created the auction record of the year.
These fruits caused an uproar at the time, but the quality of the fruits Xi Qing brought out was more than ten times better than the previous ones.
Not to mention the two bags full of 30-year-old ginseng. Although the age is not as good as the [-]-year-old ginseng that the royal family asked for from the Liao family, its appearance and completion are much better.
Master Lin's hands were trembling slightly, and he had a premonition that this auction would become the most sensational one ever.
-
When Xi Qing came out of the office, he happened to bump into Shen Jian who came to look for him.
Shen Jian took two steps closer and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"No, let's go."
The two returned to the auction venue, and just as they sat down, the lights dimmed, and the auctioneer walked onto the stage amidst everyone's expectations.
"There are a lot of auction items today, but the ones in the front are not interesting, and the most important things are in the back." Huo Yan handed the auction catalog to Xi Qing.
Leaving good things behind is a consistent method of auctions, which can actively arouse everyone's interest and improve the atmosphere of the venue.
Xi Qing opened the catalog and looked, and found that the items in the front were basically rare calligraphy, paintings and antique books, while the energy stones and asteroids that really caught the eye were placed at the end.
Just like what Huo Yan said, at the beginning the bids were made by people from small families. They didn't have much budget, and they didn't have the strength to compete for the valuables at the back, so they put their energy in the front.
But in the middle of the auction, a sudden change occurred, and a dark photo was put up.
There was nothing in this photo except for the black as deep as ink. Everyone looked at it in confusion, and some people couldn't help asking: "What is this?"
The auctioneer smiled and said, "This is a mine vein, which contains energy stones."
As soon as this remark came out, there was an immediate uproar.
Everyone knows how important energy stones are, and now in front of everyone, there is a whole vein of mines, which may be able to mine countless ores. If you can win this vein, you will not only have no worries about food and drink , even the whole family will benefit greatly.
But soon someone noticed something was wrong: "Is this vein reliable?"

If you are lucky, there may be endless energy stones inside. If you are unlucky, it is very likely that the entire mountain will be hollowed out and you will not find a few pieces.
As soon as these words came out, the enthusiasm of many people was immediately extinguished.
Not everyone has the courage of the capital family. They don't have enough money to support them to gamble. If this is a real mine, which is sure to contain a lot of energy stones, it's okay, and they will not hesitate to spend a lot of money. The money was for one, but the answer given by the auction house was uncertain, so they had to give up their thoughts.
"The quotation is ten billion."
"My God, it's so high!"
"Just kidding, don't you even think that this is an energy stone!"
"With such a high price, no one can afford it except the few families in the capital, right?"
As soon as the auctioneer announced the price, many people started discussing it.
Listening to their conversation, Xi Qing looked at Huo Yan with some doubts: "Shall we shoot later?"
In fact, Xi Qing didn’t want to shoot. He never liked gambling, no matter what it was, because it was like leaving his life to the gods to decide, and you could only stand on the sidelines and keep praying. There is nothing else to do.
However, the price of ore veins is much cheaper than the same amount of energy stones. If the content of energy stones in this ore vein can reach 30.00%, and if it is mined and sold, it will definitely add [-]% to the current price. More than double.
"Shoot." Huo Yan said, "But let Shen Jian do it."
Xi Qing always felt that there were other meanings in Huo Yan's words, but it's not safe to have ears on the wall, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After the venue became a little quieter, the auctioneer said, "The bidding begins."
In fact, everyone thought that the bidding this time would be very slow. After all, there were too many uncertainties in the vein and the price was too high. If you want to make a sale, you must carefully consider it. But unexpectedly, the auctioneer just finished speaking. Someone raised the number plate: "110 billion."
"Wow—"
One hundred million was added to the bidding so quickly!
Everyone looked in the direction of the placard. Everyone thought they would see someone who was an upstart with a lot of money, but they didn't expect that person to be Huo Yan's adjutant Shen Jian.
Even though Huo Yan has been demoted now, Shen Jian has changed from a general to a major general, but everyone knows that no matter what he does, he represents Huo Yan, that is to say, the person who actually ordered the bidding is Huo Yan.
"Huo Yan is so fierce? Is he very sure?"
"I don't know, maybe I want the Huo family to rise too much, and put all my treasures on it."
There were constant discussions, and Yu Jie, who was not able to sit still, motioned to the assistants around him. The next second, they also raised their number plates: "110 billion 5000 million."
Yu Cheng, who had been watching this side closely, squinted his eyes, and shook his head at the assistant beside him: "Wait a minute."
Shen Jian didn't delay, and immediately continued to quote: "12 billion."
Yu Jie also followed: "12 billion."
"13 billion."
Amidst their successive quotations, Yucheng thought of what he heard in the bathroom today.
"Sir, are we sure we want to win today?" The voice was very familiar to Yu Cheng, and it was Yu Jie's assistant who was always by his side.
And Yu Jie, who was questioned by him, nodded: "Sure, the information is accurate, we can't let such a good thing be taken away by others."
In fact, the royal family has not always been able to sit on the throne of power safely and soundly.
For so many years in the empire, the position of the royal family has changed several times. Although it has always belonged to the Yu family, but now as the credibility of the royal family is getting lower and lower, its wealth and ability are also declining, and its status among the masses is not as high as before. up.
Correspondingly, the power of the government began to gather continuously. Once the government's public support rate surpassed that of the royal family, they would be able to re-election and overthrow the existing royal family.
The two announcements about Huo Yan issued by the military department before have greatly reduced the impression of the royal family in the hearts of the masses. If nothing is done to save the image now, Yu Jie is afraid that it will not be his father's turn to retire. The house is about to pack up and get out.
So today's energy stone vein must be taken.
After he left with his assistant, Yucheng slowly came out of the bathroom. Although Yujie didn't say clearly what they wanted, Yucheng already knew it from the undercover agent next to Yujie. What is it.
A lode.
Harmony in the family, brotherhood and brotherhood are never words suitable for the royal family. What they have is just calculating each other and guarding against each other. Yucheng also doesn't feel that he has any relationship with his two brothers other than interests.
So as early as several years ago, he bought an assistant beside Yu Jie. After so many years of testing by Yu Cheng, he has confirmed that that person is 100% loyal to him.
So when the assistant secretly handed over to Yucheng the news that Yujie had secretly received—"There will be an ore vein with a content of energy stones as high as 70.00% for sale at the auction" to Yucheng, he was preparing for today's auction.
However, Yucheng was very suspicious, and waited until he was sure he had seen Yu Jie's reaction at the auction before deciding whether he wanted to participate in the bidding.
"130 million."
At the time of Yucheng Huangshen, the bidding for the mine had already reached a high price of 130 billion.
In the beginning, there were still many aristocratic families participating in the bidding, but by this time, only Huo Yan and Yu Jie were left to bid.
It just so happened that these two people were his deadly enemies, and what they were fighting for was exactly what he had his eye on.
Yucheng didn't delay any longer, and raised his card: "130 billion."
The moment he opened his mouth, Yu Jie became anxious. He didn't expect that not only Huo Yan, but also Yu Cheng would start making trouble. He frowned, and finally chose to follow the price: "130 six!"
"Marshal, are you still calling?" Shen Jian asked in a low voice.
"Call."
Shen Jian nodded: "140 billion!"
At this point in the bidding, Xi Qing gradually realized something was wrong. Huo Yan beside him, why didn't he seem nervous at all?
If it's a real mineral vein, and Huo Yan really wants to get it, he shouldn't be so calm anyway, isn't it so simple?
The matter was indeed not simple. After a while, Xi Qing suddenly discovered that Shen Jian had quietly withdrawn from the bidding, while the two brothers of the Yu family who were still raising the price did not notice at all.
The two of Yucheng really didn't notice it, they were so envious now that their necks were thick, so they didn't care about Huo Yan's actions.
Shen Jian was actually a little puzzled. They could have raised the price even higher. After all, if you want to trick a fool, you have to be tougher, and Huo Yan has never been merciful, but today he specially shouted at him 170 After [-] million hours, it stopped.
Huo Yan noticed Shen Jian's doubts, and said in a low voice: "The limit of the royal family is almost reached."
Compared with some aristocratic families in the capital star, the royal family does not have much property. After all, they do not have many income channels. If Shen Jian keeps raising the price to the point where they cannot pay, then no matter how much the other party wants the mineral vein , could only reluctantly refuse.
What Huo Yan said was right. After Shen Jian withdrew from the bidding, the price quickly hovered around 80 billion. Even if it was added, it was no longer [-] million as before, but tens of millions or even millions. Increased.
In the end, this vein was auctioned off by Yu Jie for 180 billion.
Yu Jie, who had successfully obtained the mineral vein, raised his head high towards Yu Cheng like a victorious fighting cock, and the latter looked away viciously, and left the venue without saying a word.
For Yu Jie's successful acquisition of the mine, the entire venue burst into loud applause. Everyone knew that if the mine was really worth the price, the status of the royal family would be completely different from what it is now.
People who can get to this point are all human beings. Although they hate the royal family, they never show it in front of others, and congratulate them for their good luck. After all, interests come first.
Amid the warm applause, Yu Jie looked in Huo Yan's direction provocatively. When he saw him bow his head and say nothing, he already believed in his heart that Huo Yan must be downcast.
The sarcasm on his face became deeper and deeper: "After all, today is different from the past, our Marshal, let's focus more on those handicrafts."
After Huo Yan heard this, he stood up angrily, as if he was about to say something, but thinking that this was an auction, he finally sat back with a sullen face.
His reaction greatly pleased Yu Jie, and he felt more and more in his heart that he had done a great deed.
After the venue became quiet again, the auction proceeded to the second half.
But with the emergence of mineral veins, the highly anticipated energy stones and planets in the second half seem to have lost their appeal.
However, Xi Qing is still the same as before, especially looking forward to the energy stone being available soon, but the auction before that is an asteroid.
Asteroids have always been expensive, and this time is no exception.
Looking at the soaring price, Xi Qing sighed: "I wish I could afford to buy an asteroid sometime."
Huo Yan heard the words: "Want?"
"That's right, the planet, it must be able to grow a lot of food."
Huo Yan: "..." He has never seen it before, and he only wanted planets for better farming.
Huo Yan whispered: "No need to buy, I have many planets."
"Huh?" Xi Qing was taken aback.
Huo Yan did have a lot of planets. The Huo family's assets included planets, plus the rewards they received after years of military exploits, and the trophies they got from the Zerg, there were already six planets alone.
"And one of them is covered with grass."
When Huo Yan said this, Xi Qing's breathing was stagnant. He knew that Huo Yan had a planet full of grass from a long time ago. Since then, it has become Xi Qing's dream. Thinking of it, Huo Yan suddenly said it.
Xi Qing quickly sat up straight, his eyes glowing: "What about that planet?"
Huo Yan said something, but Xi Qing didn't hear it clearly, because there was a sudden loud shock around him, Xi Qing raised his head with some doubts, and in the next second, he saw the fruits and vegetables being displayed by the auctioneer under the light. ginseng.
Everyone thought that today's surprise was only the mineral lode photographed by Yu Jie, but they didn't expect that there would be such a good fruit and so many ginsengs. After seeing this scene, everyone was surprised.
After all, although mineral veins are rare, they have at least seen them, but such a good fruit on the stage is really unheard of.
"I don't think I need to introduce the quality of this kind of fruit. Take the cherries dedicated to the emperor by the Academy of Sciences as an example. Our appraiser gave the standard. If it is the A-level standard, then the ones in front of me are 3S level standard."
As soon as this remark came out, no one hesitated anymore. The words of the appraiser in the auction house are guaranteed. Since they can give such a disparate evaluation, it means that this thing is really good.
"The starting price is 8000 million."
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, someone immediately began to raise placards:
"9000"
"One Billion"
……
Listening to the higher and higher prices, Xi Qing almost couldn't control the smile on his face. When he was about to distract Huo Yan with a few words, he suddenly found that Huo Yan raised his hand slightly.
"What do you want to do?"
Huo Yan smiled: "Bidding."
"No, don't!"
Although it is reasonable for these fruits to be so expensive in Interstellar, but after living on Earth for a long time, every time Xi Qing sets the price, he will have the illusion that he is cheating people. Although today's price is set by the appraiser, it is still It's quite expensive, and it's okay to cheat others, but not to cheat your own people.
Xi Qing quickly grabbed Huo Yan's hand: "If you want, I can give it to you, as much as you want, don't buy this, those are sold to others."
Huo Yan looked at the hand he put on his palm, and when he heard the "others" he said, the smile on his lips grew bigger and bigger.
Finally, he nodded: "OK."
