Chapter 131 Madman

The banquet hall instantly became dead silent.

There were originally some people whispering in the audience, but after hearing the number that Mr. Ross finally said, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak at all. The banquet hall of Nuoda was so quiet for a while. You could hear even a pin drop.

This dead silence didn't last long, and after a while, there was a loud explosion in the hall.

"Five million gold coins? God is above! Is this true?"

"No way? How could the Xinfei Commercial Association have loaned such a large amount?"

"That's right, even if you sell the entire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it won't be worth so much, right? Half a million gold coins are enough!"

"When did the Chimera Chamber of Commerce become so talkative? The last time we applied to them for a loan of less than 800,000 gold coins, all of them were rejected. How could it be approved by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a full 5 million gold coins?"

...

Everyone's eyes are full of incredible.

And the most incredible of them, of course, is President Morgan.

He stared at Chief Ross, if not so many people around him, he even wanted to rush to the stage and slap Chief Ross's face hard to see if he was pretending to be someone else.

However, reason told him that this principal Ross was indeed the principal Ross that he had been in contact with several times in Anweimar City before, and it was absolutely impossible for others to pretend.

Besides, what's the use of Xu Yi finding someone to pretend to be him? If this kind of thing is not approved by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, would Xu Yi dare to do it casually?

After a long while, President Morgan slowly regained his senses and gave Xu Yi a deep look. Turning to Mr. Ross, he asked, "Mister Ross. Can I ask a question?"

Director Ross nodded lightly: "Excuse me."

"I want to ask. Why did the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce let your Chimera Chamber of Commerce agree to the loan application of up to five million gold coins?" President Morgan asked.

This question can be said to be a question that everyone cares about. As soon as President Morgan asked it, everyone looked at Director Ross.

Who knew that Director Ross glanced at President Morgan, but answered blankly: "I'm sorry, there is no comment on this issue."

"Ugh"

A sigh sounded.

Disappointment is disappointment, but everyone knows very well that the answer from Director Ross is understandable.

Why the loan is a matter of the secrets of the Chimera Chamber of Commerce. It is not surprising that Director Ross did not answer.

The muscles on President Morgan's face twitched twice, and he nodded without asking.

Seeing that no one had any doubts, Earl Summer stood up at the right time and announced that the auction would continue.

But the auction continued, which meant that President Morgan had to face the sky-high price of 1.8 million gold coins proposed by Xu Yi.

Although the Joseph family had given instructions to President Morgan before coming to this auction, they must win the two iron mines at any cost, but the Falcao Chamber of Commerce's internal valuation of this smaller mine It's just between 800,000 gold coins and 1.2 million gold coins. When Morgan had grown to 1.66 million gold coins just now, it was far beyond the budget.

And now, if you want to beat Xu Yi's bid of 1.8 million gold coins. That's a lot more than that.

The auctioneer, who was back on the stage, saw that President Morgan didn't speak for a long time, so he couldn't help coughing. Reminder: "Xinfei Chamber of Commerce 1.8 million gold coins, is there any higher? If not, this mine will be owned by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

Everyone looked at President Morgan.

The cold sweat on President Morgan's forehead was several times more than that of President Brno just now. He looked at Xu Yi, then at the auctioneer, hesitated for a while, and finally paused before the auctioneer picked up the gavel. He slowly raised his hand and shouted softly, "One hundred and eighty-five thousand."

"Two million." Just as President Morgan spit out the last word, Xu Yi immediately called out another number.

Everyone in the hall gasped at the same time.

Two million gold coins!

It's just for an iron mine that's not particularly big!

Moreover, Xu Yi actually increased from 1.85 million to 2 million in one breath, which is even more domineering than the previous President Morgan!

Everyone looked at Xu Yi as if they were looking at a lunatic.

Does this Xu Yi know what he is doing?

Did he think the two million gold coins fell from the sky?

Even if your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce got a huge loan of five million gold coins from the Chimera Chamber of Commerce for no reason, you can't just waste it like a low-level upstart, right?

Thinking of the nouveau riche, everyone suddenly remembered that compared to many large chambers of commerce with rich heritage and a long history, aren't Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce just nouveau riche?

But no matter whether it is a nouveau riche or not, Xu Yi has now offered this price. Will President Morgan accept it or not?

President Morgan took out a handkerchief, wiped his forehead hard, and found that the clean handkerchief was soaked all at once, and his hand holding the handkerchief involuntarily trembled slightly.

"Damn it!" President Morgan cursed fiercely in his heart as he looked at Xu Yi who was still wearing a relaxed smile in the distance.

If this guy hadn't suddenly come out to spoil the situation, he could have won this iron ore for 1.66 million.

Although the price is still high, it is still within the acceptable range.

But now Xu Yi quoted a price of 2 million gold coins, which was beyond President Morgan's ability to bear.

President Morgan kept wiping his sweat and hesitating, but until the auctioneer counted three times and the gavel fell, he never made another sound.

"Two million gold coins! Congratulations to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for winning this auction and obtaining the mining rights of No. 1 Mine for 50 years!"

The auctioneer's voice echoed in the banquet hall, but there was no response, not even a courtesy applause.

Everyone looked at Xu Yi and President Morgan with extremely strange expressions.

President Morgan finally gave up the bidding, and it was not surprising that everyone was disappointed. After all, the price of two million gold coins was too high, which had far exceeded everyone's psychological expectations.

The Alkao Chamber of Commerce has a great career. Extraordinarily powerful. But you can't waste it like that. It is also reasonable for President Morgan to choose to give up.

And Xu Yi used such a sky-high price to obtain the mining rights of this mine, but no one would be happy for him.

With such a huge amount of money, even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce immediately starts mining, it will never be possible to get the principal back in a short period of time.

What's more, the money was borrowed from the Chimera Chamber of Commerce by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The Chimera Chamber of Commerce is not a charitable organization, so the interest rate must be higher than the loan. If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not operate properly, I'm afraid it won't even be able to repay the interest. . In the end, it may even cause the entire chamber of commerce to be directly dragged down by interest.

In the eyes of most people, Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually made an extremely stupid choice.

So the first auction came to an end in a strange silence, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce won the mining rights of a smaller mine at an astonishing price of 2 million gold coins.

However, this silence was instantly shattered by the sound of bidding one after another at the beginning of the second auction.

The No. 2 mine is much larger than the No. 1 mine, and its value is much greater, but the starting price is only 700,000 gold coins.

Perhaps it was because they saw the madness of the first auction, or because many chambers of commerce were staring at this larger mine from the very beginning, so when the auction started, a bunch of people were enthusiastic.

The starting price of 700,000 gold coins was pushed up to 1 million gold coins in an instant, and then approached 1.5 million like a rocket.

But just when a representative of a chamber of commerce was about to bid 1.5 million, President Morgan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

Don't speak. Everyone was shocked when he opened his mouth.

"two millions!"

It actually directly increased the price by half a million gold coins!

The hall became quiet again, and everyone looked at President Morgan. It was found that the expression on his face at this moment turned out to be a little grim.

Everyone immediately understood that this time, President Morgan would not give up the mine no matter what.

Otherwise, the Falcao Chamber of Commerce will be left empty-handed this time.

After a pause, a representative of the Chamber of Commerce from Anweimar City called out a bid of "2.05 million".

And just after he finished speaking, President Morgan directly shouted "2.3 million".

Although it did not increase by as much as 500,000 gold coins all at once, the increase of 250,000 gold coins was still astonishing.

What's even more amazing is what President Morgan said after the bidding.

"This mine, our Falcao Chamber of Commerce must get it. If anyone wants to snatch it, it will be an enemy of our Falcao Chamber of Commerce! Also, think about it clearly, even if you get this mine, you will be able to mine it. ?"

This is simply a naked public threat.

Earl Summer frowned, a little dissatisfied in his heart, but then his brows stretched, and he did not express any opinion.

Seeing that there was no sound from everyone, President Morgan turned to Xu Yi and snorted coldly: "President Xu, how is it? Do you still want to increase the price? You loaned five million gold coins from the Chimera Chamber of Commerce all at once, and now you pay it back. With three million remaining, aren't you going to come back and fight with our Falcao Chamber of Commerce?"

Xu Yi looked at President Morgan in surprise, and said innocently: "President Morgan, what are you talking about? Did you forget, you told me before that our federation's companions are all good friends, everyone. We should help each other, how can we compete maliciously? Besides, lending five million gold coins doesn’t mean that I have to spend it all, does it? To be honest, spending the two million gold coins has already given me a headache. If It's not that the production of magic machinery by our Chamber of Commerce consumes too much iron ore. In fact, I am not very interested in this mine, do you think so?"

President Morgan stared at Xu Yi fiercely, not believing a word at all.

But Xu Yi has already shown the meaning of giving in, and he naturally won't say much, just staring at Xu Yi to see if he will raise the price at the last moment like he did just now.

However, until the auctioneer finished the countdown and dropped the gavel to announce the end of the auction, Xu Yi just kept smiling, closed his mouth, and said nothing.

After hearing the auctioneer's announcement that the Falcao Chamber of Commerce had obtained the right to mine the iron ore, President Morgan let out a long sigh of relief.

Xu Yi came over at this time and smiled at President Morgan: "Congratulations, this mine finally fell into the hands of your Falcao Chamber of Commerce. It's a pity, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is really Insufficient strength, otherwise I really want to compete."

President Morgan snorted heavily, thinking that if you hadn't made trouble, these two iron mines would have belonged to the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.

Now that there is one less, the Joseph family will definitely be very dissatisfied because of this, and President Morgan has no idea what kind of punishment he will receive next.

Xu Yi suddenly took two steps, lowered his voice and said to President Morgan: "By the way, President Morgan, now that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has started a mine, I'm going to study some magic machinery for mining, I don't know. Are you Falcao Chamber of Commerce interested?"

President Morgan looked at Xu Yi in amazement, and found that his expression was very serious, it didn't look like he was lying, so he involuntarily fell into deep thought.

Although President Morgan despised such a small chamber of commerce as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he had to admit that the magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were all very novel and easy to use, and the most obvious example was the farmland magic machinery.

If Xu Yi really intends to develop some mining magic machinery, then maybe it will be of great help to the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.

Thinking of this, the expression on President Morgan's face changed a few times at the speed of Xu Yi's amazement. He showed a kind smile and said to Xu Yi: "Of course I am interested. Why don't President Xu talk to me in detail?"
