Chapter 439: 10 Ipsilon Wrecks

The incident continued to ferment. When the accusations and rebuttals of all parties caused an unmatched hurricane on the radio programs and computer networks of various systems under the jurisdiction of "Babylon", at this critical moment, the most famous "Somal" auction house in "Air Garden" threw a bombshell to various commercial media. Three days later, a batch of Ipsilon remains will be auctioned on the 18th floor of the Star Building in the central square of "Air Garden", inviting major arms dealers in the Tianchao Star Zone and merchants from various countries to attend.

Generally speaking, the transaction of the remains of Ipsilon can be completed independently through the free trade platform of the commercial district. Few people choose classic offline auction methods, because doing so is not only troublesome and inefficient, but also requires a considerable commission to the middle party, which is much higher than the platform usage fee drawn by the government.

Those who learned about this news were surprised, but when they saw the number of auction items, they suddenly realized that 10 pieces of Ipsilon remains were packed and sold, which was definitely a big deal.

Even though the "Babylon" star system is the trading center of the entire Hillenbel region, the transaction frequency of the Ipsilon remains is much higher than that of other star systems, on average, it takes about a month to deal with an Ipsilon remains, and it will be auctioned by dozens of or hundreds of arms companies. It is still unknown who will eventually fall.

Now 10 pieces appear at once and are packaged for sale. Who is not tempted by the top forces in the Tianchao Star Zone? In the field of development and research on Ipsilon ruins, the probability of scientific and technological output of a single Ipsilon ruin is too low. But if 10 pieces are tied together, it is definitely not as simple as 1 plus 1. This is different from those ancient handicrafts. The more the number, the more it will depreciate. The more valuable the Ipsilon ruins are.

Being able to exchange renewable resources such as banknotes for non-renewable resources like the remains of Ipsilon is a big profit. Although it is gambling, how can you do business without risks? What's more, this business is not good and will be related to the rise and fall of a country.

If the dispute between countries is a hurricane, then this news is a thunder and lightning that pierces the night sky, penetrates the clouds, falls to the ground and shows a red face.

People are always attracted by more novel things. The "10 pieces of Ipsilon ruins and wrecks are bundled and auctioned" caused a great response in the "Air Garden" business circle for a while. Even senior executives from various countries have temporarily suspended the dispute and turned their attention to the upcoming auction.

The current situation of "Babylon" is like laying a layer of straw mat on a wildfire. From the surface, it has returned to calm, but in fact, the flames have not only not yet extinguished, but have added a bunch of firewood to it.

Some commercial media have tried to pry open the mouth of the manager of the "Somarr" auction house to find out the origin of these wreckages of Ipsilon. After all, since the completion of "Babylon", auctions of this scale have rarely appeared.

Which organization that has the ability to get so many wreckages of Ipsilon ruins is not a large enterprise with strong financial resources. How could they take out these treasures for auction? Is there anything wrong with this?

The heads of major arms companies racked their brains and couldn't understand the twists and turns in it, but they would still participate in the auction on time because there had never been any problems with the "Somal" auction.

…………

On the tenth day, "Air Garden" time at 13:30, after lunch. Tang Fang took Claya, Aros, Hausen and Grant from the hotel to the Starlight Building.

As one of the landmark buildings of the "Air Garden", the Starlight Building is like the most shining star under the night sky. It stands 200 meters north of the central square of the commercial area.

Compared with the adjacent buildings, it is not only taller, but also has a gorgeous shape, like a pair of lighthouses dotted with stars.

The auction venue is located on the 18th floor of Building A, where there is a venue specially purchased by the "Somal" auction house. Tang Fang has not yet started the auction. He was appointed by staff from the "Roamer Technology Consortium" to access the venue and arranged a private room with very luxurious decoration on the second floor.

Corey Christian was not present, and the person in charge of receiving Tang was his assistant White David. This was the second time the two met, less restrained and more familiar.

White David's clothes were still so meticulous, without any wrinkles, a milky white shirt, black tie and black leather shoes, his hair was shaped with hair wax, and the front end was pinched into burrs, making him look heroic and solemn.

Hausen complained in his heart why did Old Corey not arrange a beautiful woman, but instead sent such a young man to receive them. Could it be that he wanted to seduce Claya?

Tang Fang didn't care at all. He had already known that this would be the case on the way here. After talking politely to White David, he turned his attention to the decoration of the room.

The entire room covers an area of ​​about 60 square meters, with the walls painted in metal silver. Under the illumination of the crystal lamp array on the ceiling, it is like a sharp mirror. In the center of the room is a long glass tea table with tea cups and teapots waiting for guest utensils. Behind the tea table is a row of black leather sofas with integrated massage systems. There is a vertical refrigerator in the right corner of the door, which contains various wine, fruits and vegetables. There are water supply facilities, coffee machines, juicers, etc. next to it. You can make tea and drinks by yourself.

In front of the coffee table are holographic projection equipment and spiritual realm system. The former is used to observe auction items, and the latter is used to adjust the room environment.

White David gave the few people to the sofa and sat down, then called the girls outside the door to serve tea, and then sat on a sofa and talked slowly about the "Babylonian" situation with Tang Fang.

Now, he finally knew why the Tang side did not take action immediately after receiving the arraignment from the "Roamer Technology Consortium". I am afraid that the "Morning Star Cast" Oss calculated that the situation in "Babylon" would have ripples, so he was patient and waited until today to hold an auction.

For example, if the terrorist attack of "Ankalim" was a cluster of wildfires, then the countries that later practiced Tai Chi were the people who picked firewood, and the guy sitting in front of him was the person who was waiting for the barbecue with an iron rod full of chicken wings in his hand.

…………

The host's speech was heard from the broadcast system. Half of the whiskey in the small square cup had fallen. White David looked at Tang Fang, whose cheeks were slightly red, and felt no reason. He suddenly realized a problem. This guy not only had an iron rod full of chicken wings in his hand. He also held a banana fan in his other hand.

As the two talked, some people came in the first floor hall one after another, sat down according to the seats, and quietly waited for the auction to begin. There were many familiar people among them, and they could not whisper and talk.

"Babylon" has been so lively these days. Whether it is just watching the lively or the representatives of the business group who are interested in purchasing, they all secretly wondered about the origin of these 10 pieces of Ipsilon remains. Why did it not appear early or late? It appeared at this time.

A strategy that is implemented in secret is called a conspiracy. A strategy that is open and conspiracy is called a conspiracy. A strategy that is placed on the table and willing to take the bait is called a conspiracy.

Everyone is a businessman, and the distance between a businessman and a smart person is very close. Sometimes he can even draw a number as a smart person. They know that this is an open conspiracy, but even though they know that, they still have to jump in, because if they don’t jump, can it still be called an open conspiracy?

So they were very unhappy, very unhappy, very depressed, but they had to endure the unhappy. They endured the unhappy and came to participate in the auction.

The people on the second floor were gradually filled with people. Those who could be arranged in private rooms were representatives of some large arms companies, and even directly were specialists sent by governments of various countries.

While chatting with White David, Tang Fang ordered Emma to use the wireless network to hack into the auction's central data host to remotely monitor and screen the attendees' members.

Since these people are interested in the remains of Ipsilon, they believe that most of them are industry insiders, and they may interfere with them at any time in the future. It is better to do more homework now so that they can get things done in the future.

The whiskey in the small square cup does not come from the refrigerator in the corner of the room, but is brought by White David. It belongs to the collection of Old Corey, made with mountain spring water and selected rye distillation. It is stored in an oak barrel for 38 years. It has a soft and soft taste and a strong Irish flavor.

The cup in White David's hand was empty. This was the first and the last one, because the flat round wine bottle on the coffee table with beautiful patterns was already empty, and there was no drop left.

It was drunk by that guy named Hausen.

White David narrowed his eyes slightly, put down his small square cup, and gently stroked the engagement ring on his middle finger with his right hand. This was his habit, just as natural as going to the fencing hall after get off work every day.

People have their own little habits, touching earlobes, pushing mirror frames, pinching chins... In most cases, it is natural, but it is a bit unnatural in the eyes of some people.

The "some people" here include Tang Fang, but he said nothing and did nothing.

He just drank all the wine in his cup and ordered a song - the song of the Galaxy Demonic, which surprised Grant and Aross. Didn’t the Captain always be inconsistent with Miss Charlotte?

The soft singing sounds are like a gurgling stream. The spiritual realm system is activated independently, and a bright color flashes by, with flowers filling the wild, white clouds vast, wild rabbits surround, and clear rivers flowing on the rocks.

White David frowned and said nothing more. He looked up at Tang Fang and found that the captain seemed to be asleep, and there was a slight snoring sound from his nose.

Looking at Grant and Claya next to him, it seemed that they treated the captain as air. One was browsing the discount information in the mall, and the other was studying how to cook Chinese dishes.

He grinned, not sure whether he should cry or laugh. The 10 remains of the Ipsilon ruins are about to be auctioned, the holographic projection equipment has been turned on, and the light intertwined in mid-air into three-dimensional images.

Did he really care?

Tang Fang moved for a moment, and White David thought he was uncomfortable sleeping and needed to change his position.

In fact, the captain didn't sleep at all. He looked so drunk that he was just for White David to watch. His attention had long turned to his mind. There was the surveillance video of the venue provided by Emma. From the front hall to the back hall, and even the entire "Starlight" building, no one could escape his eyes.

As for the moment he moved just now, it was not that he felt uncomfortable in his posture, but that he found a person and an acquaintance among the participants!

…………

The auction arrived as scheduled, and 10 pieces of remains of Ipsilon ruins appeared on the display screen, and several representatives of military-industrial enterprises were also included. They were inspectors selected by the "Somal" auction house from the attendees to prove the authenticity of the auction items.

Next, after a brief inspection procedure, the auction will be officially launched to relieve the situation.

According to the organizer's introduction, the starting price of these 10 pieces of Ipsilon ruins is 1 billion star coins, and the price increase shall not be less than 100 million star coins each time.

The host will explain the auction details as usual, and then announce the bidding will begin.

The lights of the venue gradually became softer, and the 10 pieces of Ipsilon remains on the large screen rotated back and forth, and the bidding system was fixed in the center of the stage, which was particularly eye-catching.

Most of the participants' expressions were very serious and their clothes were very formal. Most of them were wearing wireless headphones and holding pdas assigned by the venue staff.

Headphones are communication tools used by representatives to contact senior corporate leaders, while PDA is used for bidding.

When the countdown number on the bidding system display changes to 0, the bidding is officially started.

"1.1 billion star coins!" said a white man with a classic watch on his wrist, pressing the keys on the pda.

His name is Beaufort Joyce, a purchasing specialist from the "Cardmont" group. He is a very nostalgic person. He enjoys collecting antiques from the Earth's era, just like the watch on his wrist, which is a Swiss watch with excellent workmanship.

"Kardemon" Group is a group enterprise engaged in the production of chemical raw materials, and its products are mostly used in planetary environment transformation systems.

The above are the participants' identity information obtained by Tang Fang through the Star Track Command Center. In addition to the above, the participants' names, ages, hometowns, marital status, tax payment records, and even his personal hobbies and habits are recorded by Emma.

"1.3 billion star coins!" Someone directly raised the price by 200 million, and was a black man from "Galileo" mining.

"1.4 billion!"

"1.8 billion!"

"2.5 billion!"

...

The bidders come from the lobby on the first floor, and the specialists of large enterprises in the private rooms on the second floor did not participate in the competition. Because they represent either large military-industrial enterprises or a government, in such occasions, bidding is very important and corporate image is also very important.

The 10 pieces of Ipsilon remains are conservatively estimated at 9 billion yuan, and the current bidding price is only more than 2 billion star coins. Isn’t it shameless to let these representatives of big companies compete with those people in the audience?

Now is not the time for them to take action!

"4.5 billion!"

"4.8 billion!"

The quotation continued to rise, and some participants had already begun to give up. They were invited by the "Somal" auction house to serve as the crowd. If they could win 10 pieces of Ipsilon ruins at a low price, it would be great. If they could not, there would be no loss. Just come here to open their eyes.

A few minutes later, the quotation exceeded 8 billion mark, and most people downstairs had chosen to give up and no longer bidding. Tang Fang turned his attention from the first-floor conference hall to the second-floor private room because some people could no longer sit still.

"8.2 billion!" According to the information, the quoter is the representative of the "Thomas" group, which is an international trading company.

"8.4 billion!" The quoter comes from the well-known arms enterprise of Star Coal, "Eco-Sowopna Group".

"8.6 billion!" Baker Nelson - Assistant General Manager of "Iga Industrial" in the "Babylon" branch.

"9 billion!" The person who directly raised the price of 400 million star coins was not someone else. It was White David from the "Roamer Technology Consortium". Old Corey sent him here this time not only to entertain Tang Fang, but also another task, to get these 10 Ipsilon remains as much as possible. If you consider the situation of "the two Ipsilon remains that have been pre-sold to the "Roamer Technology Consortium" for 15% off", it is acceptable even if it exceeds the expected price.

After quoting the price, White David looked at Tang Fang and found that he was still in his previous state without any change. He couldn't help but shake his head, sighed, and thought to himself that this kid never plays according to common sense in his work.

The captain is actually more clear about White's quotation behavior than anyone else. Not only the price, but also his habitual action of twisting the engagement ring.

Soon, the quotation of 9 billion was broken by an Arabian merchant with a headscarf wrapped around his head, and the price was directly raised by 500 million to a high price of 9.5 billion star coins.

His name is Avala Dufour. According to the information from the "Somar" auction house, he is a businessman from the Republic of Ida and his company is a well-known large military-industrial enterprise.

Of course, Tang would not believe that he was just an ordinary corporate representative. If what he expected was, this person should be the special commissioner of the Government of the Republic of Ida in "Babylon".

"Are you finally unable to sit still..."

As expected, even the sovereign state could not withstand the temptation of 10 remains of the Ipsilon ruins.

"9.6 billion!"

"9.8 billion!"

"10 billion!"

Other large military-industrial enterprises and commissioners from other countries no longer hold their own identities and have joined the competition.

Soon, the quotation exceeded 12 billion yuan. At this time, no one had raised the sign on the first floor, and some representatives of the company who were private rooms on the second floor also gave up the bidding. The remaining few people who were still raising the price were agents from all over the country.

12 billion is not a small amount. Although the bidding price of the remains of Ipsilon in "Babylon" is always higher than that of other places, the unit price of 1.2 billion in ruins of this size is the limit. Now the only motivation to support them to continue bidding is the "bundled auction". (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
