Chapter 687 I Want the only One
George flipped through the auction list and found that the documents were all mine development licenses from a bankrupt company, with about ten years of use left on them. But the location was in the Death Mine - where various magic crystals (including time-space crystals, Andora crystals and other special crystals) are abundant.
"Master, this kind of mining has always been a gamble. The magic interference in the Death Mine is very large, and no one knows what can be mined in the end. So the transaction price of the license is often uncertain." Jasmine said while flipping through the documents: "But according to the intelligence, the geology finally chosen by this bankrupt company is very good. There should be "Huise Bismuth Mine", "Hexagonal Crystal Silver Mine" (containing high-energy crystals) and "Needle Leaf Emerald Gold" (time-space crystals, etc.). But apart from the boss of this company, only a few consortiums know about this situation. 30,000 gold lions was agreed upon by all parties - this price is actually very low."
George nodded. These minerals are more expensive than gold, so if these things are really dug up, it is not mining, but digging for gold lions. Although these precious minerals are all associated minerals, as long as one ton (the weight of 30,000 gold lions) is dug out, the investment will be paid back.
If this company really won the lottery in the end, then in ten years, not to mention the mining efficiency of Yueguo. Even if it is manual mining, and all the iron, copper and other messy mines are thrown away, it is also buying a cash cow!
Unfortunately, the founder of this company is a gold digger who sold his family property. Although he is a noble, he has no foundation. So after winning the lottery, he was targeted by various large consortiums.
These consortiums are operating in secret while working together in secret. It can be said that they have been operating for several years for this piece of fat meat.
A small nobleman has no power to resist a group of bloodthirsty lions. Although his company discovered the "gold mine", it could not purchase equipment, nor did it buy his goods. In addition, people in the company kept leaving and changing jobs. In the past few years, the company can be said to be unable to make ends meet, and the boss can no longer support it.
For the noble, the 30,000 gold lions can only be regarded as a return on investment. However, in the transaction, the big boss of the consortium promised him a title and a fiefdom. With this fiefdom and title, plus the 10,000 gold lions after his bankrupt company was sold, he would have the foundation and the funds for starting a new business.
After that, as long as the big bosses of the consortium support him a little more in the future, the resurgence of his family will be just around the corner.
On one hand, it is bankruptcy + offending a group of big bosses. On the other hand, there is a chance to join the consortium. The nobles know very well what they can eat and what they will be stuffed to death after eating. Therefore, they finally compromised.
There is also an agreement between the three consortiums. One of them got this license - and then they can secretly use the license to invest and enjoy dividends.
One acquired the noble's company and the land - it will be the actual new boss, and also got a piece of land.
The other has the exclusive right to purchase 50% of the minerals and the most favorable purchase right - whether it is processed and sold to the market or used by itself, it is a huge benefit.
It can be said that the three lions have eaten the meat they wanted the most.
Including the early operations, license auctions, and company acquisitions, the total cost is less than 50,000 gold lions, which is only the cost of arming a thousand knights. If they are magic knights, it is more than 200.
But the value of this piece of fat meat is ten times greater than this cost!
In this meat-sharing, even if other followers knew some news, they did not dare to participate.
So, today's scene is actually a bloody meat-sharing among a group of lions.
"Which consortium acquired that company?" George couldn't help but envy. From the information, it seems that the company was acquired by a nobleman from the Saudi country.
"Master, it's you," Jasmine said, "The shareholders are new-style nobles, people from the Queen's side. The one with the most favorable rights is an academy - actually the power of the Forbidden Sanctuary, because they have the best equipment and engineers, so any mine must share with them. The things that the noble sold to them before were very expensive, and the development volume was very low. So they were offended. This matter was mainly caused by the Forbidden Sanctuary."
George opened his mouth and took a long time to react.
"Her Highness Irene said that you will be very happy. She also said that if you are happy, we can unite with the royal family and kick the Forbidden Sanctuary out."
George knew that Irene had made her position clear this time. Originally, she operated this mine, probably for her brother.
"In addition, she has also prepared things such as the magic hub. It was in the auction of several alchemy studios before. It will be transferred to the shelter later."
George nodded, thinking to himself: 'Although this girl often makes trouble, she is really efficient. '
Some of the subsequent licenses are also varied, for trade, auction houses, and casinos. There is also a plundering permit, and even a permit to travel to the Forbidden Island - without this permit, the Forbidden Sanctuary will not trade with the merchant group.
However, compared to the auction items, George is more concerned about the buyers and sellers. Although most of this information is confidential, Jasmine has extremely detailed information.
After asking, George found that many of these transactions were related to the Mithril Vault - they sold a lot and bought a lot.
The total number of transactions is terrifying. It is enough to empty out the entire wealth of a great noble family for generations.
‘With such a lot of money, perhaps the more than one million golden lions is not a big number for His Majesty ‘Theodorik’. ’ George thought about debt evasion again.
Comparatively speaking, in this Moon Country auction, there were very few luxury goods and jewelry - magical items were all traded within the academy circle, while real luxury goods had been packaged into brands by the Moon Country!
Therefore, gadgets of this level cannot enter this auction—pawn shops have quite a few.
However, there are indeed several famous works of art in today's auction. It allowed George to see how rich and luxurious the people of the Moon Country were.
One of the oil paintings sold for 200,000 silver foxes!
That thing looked like a 'stream of consciousness' piece of art, and George couldn't understand it at all.
It wasn't until he opened his eyes and worked hard to understand that he could vaguely see that the content seemed to be that the knight killed the demon and then rescued the princess's soul from the demon's body. But no matter how you look at it, this painting looks like a child's graffiti - or a lunatic who poured dye directly on it!
"What kind of wall-breaking thing was sold for 200 million RMB?! I have money and no place to spend it?!" George said sourly: "It's all a mystery! In my hometown, this kind of painter is called a 'master'!"
"George." Soraya glanced at George and said with great disdain: "You really don't understand art at all - you can paint to this level! It's definitely extraordinary! Don't you feel the tone? It's a The hope that bursts out of the most oppressive despair!"
Having said this, Soraya took Lorna's handkerchief, and the two of them wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes together. Even Priyanka and Anita had their hands clasped together with shocked expressions on their faces. They were obviously completely impressed by this painting and admired the painter.
The performance of these girls made George roll his eyes for a moment, and he pushed him down: "I really can't talk to you young and artistic women."
Soraya suddenly said: "If my (and George's) little vault hadn't been placed at the end of the auction, I would have decisively bought it today!"
Priyanka nodded fiercely and said, "This collection has at least 10% room for appreciation every year!"
"Will the price of this piece of crap go up? Are you crazy?!" George stared and asked, "Who painted this painting? What year was it painted?"
Jasmine flipped through the list.
"Ahem." The big collector Priyanka couldn't help but interrupt at this time: "Master, I have heard about this piece of art. It does have some background - 'Theodoric' itself is the moon The most famous artist in the country, and this is a painting she made when she was ill, so many people think that it is a scene she once saw in the Kingdom of Heaven, and they think it is a story related to 'Ariadne'. In addition, His Majesty can no longer remember many of his dreams, so this painting is extremely precious to collectors. "
"Damn!" George said, "I asked why it is so expensive. It turns out it's all about the name in the lower left corner!"
Soraya and Lorna couldn't help but glance at George with disdain - he really didn't understand art.
"Qiao, George" Rona reminded carefully: "It is usually signed in the lower right corner."
"Ahem, I usually like to pee on the left side."
Apparently, discussing art with George was a fool's errand, and the girls ignored the guy.
George pulled Aji over and whispered: "Keep an eye on the stupid rich man who bought the painting, and then steal the painting back to me."
Aji quietly made an OK gesture and asked Jasmine for information. Afterwards, Aji rolled his eyes and planned to go out. But this guy was quietly grabbed by Jasmine.
"Young master, I'm begging you," Jasmine said in a low voice, "Don't cause trouble here."
"That group of people are from out of town and have nothing to do with the local area. Maybe they came here just for this painting. After successfully taking the photo today, they will definitely leave. I guess they will change their identities as soon as they go out. It’s hard to find.” Aji leaned into Jasmine’s ear and whispered, “Don’t worry, I’ll do it after the transaction.”
Aji's intimate behavior made Jasmine blush slightly, but she quietly grabbed Aji and refused to let go. I kept praying in my heart. However, there was no response.
After thinking about it, Jasmine suddenly came up with a compromise: "This type of painting is usually layered and can be torn off. In this way, what you take is real, and what they take away is also real!"
"Girl, I've been stealing things for many years, how come I don't know about this?" Aji said, "But if there are two copies of this painting, it won't be valuable."
Aggie really understood what George was thinking - he wanted the only one in the world.
As for this painting, not only did the boss speak, but the boss ladies also paid close attention to it! How can I reissue it?
Jasmine rolled her eyes, and then she sighed and said, "Go find 'Camellia'. She should have a fake in her hands right now. Ordinary appraisers can't tell the difference."
Hearing this, Aji's eyes couldn't help but light up. Then he quietly squeezed Jasmine's little finger, turned around and left.
