Chapter 244 Mine Auction
The nobles in the major cities of the Irrus Empire suddenly discovered that it seemed that the price of the magic crystal had completely collapsed overnight.
Not only are the merchants in the market selling magic crystals, but even the largest shipper, the Kadir family, are shipping crazily in warehouses everywhere. This situation not only did not allow speculators to take the opportunity to enter the market to buy goods, but instead caused a chain reaction and the market collapsed faster.
"Have you heard it? Master Gene of Silver City has made a technical breakthrough, so the demand for magic crystals has dropped greatly!"
"Really?"
"Of course! That's why the supply in the market is saturated and the price has collapsed because it can't be sold!"
"The Kadir family monopolized the magic crystal transactions in the Irruth Empire. More than 90% of the magic crystals were sold to the City of Silver. Now the City of Silver does not need to import magic crystals from the Irruth Empire. It is estimated that the Kadir family will be miserable."
"Ha, of course the Kadir family can't sit still. I dare say that selling and clearing up the stock is just the first step. Then they will definitely find a way to deal with those magic crystal mines. Now for them, those mines are burdens."
"Aren't you going to take the opportunity to buy a mine?"
"I don't have that spare money. Besides, the price of Magic Crystal is so low now. What if I lose money by buying the mine?"
"Too……"
Rumors always spread quickly. Before Frank's decision could be heard, those with sensitive sense of smell had already noticed the future trend. Therefore, when Frank's people came to invite those people to the auction, many people looked as expected.
Even though they had no intention of buying a mine, the Grand Duke Frank still had to give him face, so he still attended the mine auction that day.
The familiar imperial nobles greeted each other with hypocritical smiles at the venue, carefully concealing the greedy and full of eyes looking at other women companions, while maintaining their so-called noble identity, while carefully testing the ideas of others...
Aurelia, who attended the evening outfit, felt disgusted when she saw those people. In the years since she became a "night song", she has seen too many dirty faces of the nobles. For them, whether public or private, Aurelia has no favoritism at all.
In private, Aurelia is a girl with a rebellious personality, otherwise she would not have become the famous "night song". She knew all the dirty things that the nobles did in private. How could they have any good feelings for them?
Yu Gong and the nobles undermined the power of the royal family and forced the Irrus royal family to choose the path of reform. When the royal family was unwilling to safeguard the interests of the nobles, the two sides were no longer a community of interests, but an enemy.
However, she was a princess after all. No matter how disgusted she felt, she would still act like a princess - not to mention that the annoying guy was behind her, how could he underestimate him!
"What's wrong?"
Fiona, who accompanied Don Eun, noticed that Don Eun's mood was a bit strange.
"Nothing, it's just a feeling...well, it should be an illusion."
Tang En touched his nose, and he seemed to feel a familiar aura - it seemed to be from Ye Ge - but in this situation, even Ye Ge, who is very bold, dare not openly break through, right?
"Welcome! Welcome Baron Don, who is this?"
"My friend, and my financial assistant, Ms. Fiona."
"Hello, Ms. Fiona."
Fiona smiled very gracefully, but she held Don't speak without saying anything.
In fact, she is now trying her best to restrain her emotions and grab Tang En's arm tightly.
The Kadir family is one of the leaders of the aristocratic sect, which means that they also "make a contribution" to the destruction of the Jin Qiangwei family.
Frank was originally squinting his eyes, and when he deliberately made a smile, he became even more exaggerated. He could hardly see his eyes, but because of this, it was impossible to figure out what he thought.
Frank said with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect Baron Don to accept our invitation."
"Of course."
Tang En deliberately smiled bitterly and said, "The Kadir family has a great family and is not worthy of this business. I can't do it. Ellington is so poor and so many people are counting on me for dinner, so I have to take a gamble."
Frank's eyes flashed: "But Baron Don, don't you know the market situation of the Magic Crystal?"
"It's because I know that I need a gamble."
Tang En spread his hands helplessly: "If the market hadn't collapsed, it wouldn't be my turn to enter the market."
"That's right, I hope Baron Don will return with satisfaction."
Frank finished speaking with a smile and left.
"It's fine for Princess Aurelia, but who is that young man? He can actually welcome the Grand Duke Frank himself."
"You don't know him? Lord Ellington, Baron Don!"
"Ellington? Where?"
"To the west of the mountain city of Bein, you must cross the Ladian hills."
"There are territories in such remote places!?"
"Of course! And the Tang Chamber of Commerce, which is now in full swing in Yalinx, is the industry under his name!"
"Dang Tang Chamber of Commerce! No wonder!"
Don ignored the discussions of those people and watched Frank leave.
Fiona suddenly said, "He is suspicious again."
"Only, how many idiots are there who can sit in this position?"
Tang En said casually: "But now that things have come to this point, even if he regrets it, it will be useless."
Frank found Charles who was busy.
“Things have changed.”
"What's the meaning?"
"I still think something is wrong... I will modify the auction quantity. It is meaningless to keep small mines, and it is too risky to keep large mines. We must keep at least one medium-sized magic crystal mine in our hands."
Frank frowned: "Even if the market continues to collapse, we can take action later. Although we know that Victor and the others are calculating us and forced us to make this choice, I always feel something is wrong now. It is very likely that we lack some information."
"Then...I understand."
Charles quickly modified the file.
"Let's do it for the time being."
Frank said tiredly: "No matter what the truth is, after the auction is over, they should open their cards. Let me see what Victor and the others want."
With the arrival of customers, the auction finally officially began.
Aurelia and Tang En looked at each other, and they nodded slightly, and they had a sense of harmony.
"Lord, how many do you think we can win this time?"
"Don't eat them all, don't forget that we don't have gold coins. Aurelia and us were together. If there was an accident, she carried it."
Tang En whispered: "First take down the mine as much as possible with her, and then distribute it."
Fiona nodded slightly to show her understanding.
On the stage, as the representative of the Cadill family, Charles had already started to speak with a smile on his face. After slapping it, he got to the point.
"...so, we decided to give it to everyone, open up the huge magic crystal market, let everyone enter it and make money together."
When the people in the audience heard this, they couldn't help but sneer secretly. Who doesn't know that the price of Magic Crystal has collapsed? Now I'm just rushing to find another family to cheat people?
The main purpose of their visit was to see who would be willing to become a buyer and take over the mess from the Kadir family.
"Today, our Kadir family decided to take out the ownership of a total of fourteen magic crystal mines owned by the family for auction. According to the size of the proven reserves, the starting price ranges from one million gold coins to fifty million gold coins. I hope everyone can take action as appropriate..."
Fourteen magic crystal mines?
Don, Fiona, and Aurelia frowned and subconsciously exchanged glances.
The Kadir family had eight small mines, six medium mines, and two large mines. After Tangen blackmailed a large mine, there should be fifteen mines. In other words, Frank did not take out all the mines for auction?
Without giving Tang En and the others time to think, the auction has begun.
The first auction was a small mine, with prices starting from one million gold coins, however...
"One million gold coins, only one million gold coins can own the ownership of this magic crystal mine. What are you still hesitating about? If you don't buy it now, after this opportunity, you will never have the chance to buy it again!"
Even though Charles was anxious and sweating profusely, the people in the audience were still indifferent, waiting for the show with fun on their faces.
Fiona pursed her lips and whispered: "It's so pitiful...but it's very satisfying."
Tang En, who was smiling, shook his head: "He is telling the truth, but only we know that this is the huge benefit brought by the ambiosis of information."
Charles shouted on the stage several times, but no one spoke. Just when he was helpless and at a loss, a voice suddenly pulled him out of his despair.
"One million."
"One million! Baron Don't offer one million!"
Charles was almost in love with this hateful Ellington Country Boy at this moment!
"Is there anyone else? Is there anyone else who bid? The proven reserves of this mine are amazing, and the total potential value of fully mined is at least at the level of tens of millions of gold coins. Isn't anyone tempted?"
Heart-tempered? Heart-tempered is useless.
A group of people sneered secretly that no matter how high the potential value is, they must be sold in a market. The city of Silver will not accept goods, so where can I sell them?
Only the country baron from Ellington can't wait to have some fixed investments to stabilize its value.
If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that the mine auction of the Kadir family would have become a joke in the aristocratic circle after dinner.
