The auditorium in Nikolayev was filled early.

This auditorium can accommodate roughly 500 people. Although only more than 30 people participated in the auction, the assistants they brought, journalists from all walks of life, and some politicians from the city, made the huge auditorium full of them.

Liu Qingshan has been in his position long ago. He was the first to sign up, so he was holding a No. 1 license plate in his hand.

Only Li Tie followed him.

Boss Huo was in the back row, and he also held a license plate in his hand. He was more relaxed because he knew what his mission was, so he was to cover Liu Qingshan and successfully seize the aircraft carrier.

In the front rows, there were bidders, including Luni, Mitsui Ki and others, all of whom were staring at Liu Qingshan with dissatisfaction.

A more interesting phenomenon is that most of the people participating in the auction are young people, and I don’t know why.

The only exception is among a group of young talents, a gray-haired black man was about fifty years old, wearing a pair of glasses, and reading the information on his hand.

The rows of seats behind the bidders belong to the guest seats, and the people sitting are all the politicians of the city.

General Vasily was also in the line. Beside him, he sat with the youthful Vera, glanced forward twice from time to time, looking at Li Tie.

Liu Qingshan also saw the Mr. Duck Eggshell. This time, Hilton did not bring a bodyguard next to him, but only followed a female assistant.

In the last few rows, there are press seats, with many cameras in place.

At ninety in the morning, the mayor took the stage and delivered a brief speech, mainly to welcome all the guests.

As the mayor announced the start of the auction, a professional auctioneer took the stage, an auctioneer invited from Sotheby's Auction House and belonged to the white gloves.

The middle-aged auctioneer first bowed and said:

"Welcome to this auction. I am the auctioneer Thoms, and I am deeply honored. After all, it is the first time in history to auction aircraft carriers."

Liu Qingshan took the lead and patted a few lightly. The atmosphere at the scene was a little nervous and depressing. Liu Qingshan didn't like this kind of atmosphere very much.

The auctioneer briefly introduced the auction rules: each price increase is no less than one million, and the final price is higher.

As for the auction's reserve price, the leaders of Nikolayev City directly set it to 190 million at the instruction of some people above.

This price is actually Liu Qingshan’s initial offer. Obviously, the leadership of Xiao Wu wants to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

There is no way, now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Soviet Union is about to be completely divided. Before the division, no one wants to make more money?

"Next, I announce that the auction of the aircraft carrier code-named 106 has officially begun." The auctioneer, wearing his beloved white gloves, announced the start.

But after his voice was over, no one bidders below, and the scene was in a state of disarray for more than a minute.

White Gloves' forehead was sweating a little: No, you rushed over from all the way, didn't you just come for the aircraft carrier?

The reporters in the last rows also began to whisper, and this strange situation was also beyond their expectations.

When everyone thinks, the rhythm of fighting and sparks are the ones that should be.

Many people's eyes gathered on Liu Qingshan, because most people speculated that Mr. Mount must be determined to win this aircraft carrier.

But what they saw was that Liu Qingshan was leisurely fiddling with the license plate in his hand, without any intention of bidding.

Of course, Liu Qingshan is not in a hurry, so he won’t take the initiative to jump out as a target.

Liu Qingshan, the weather vane, did not bid, and others like Luni, Mitsuiki, did not dare to bid.

Their purpose is to block Liu Qingshan. If the target does not appear, what are they blocking?

If you owe something, shout out a price and then everyone bids, wouldn’t the aircraft carrier hit them?

What do they want aircraft carriers to do and treat them as big toys?

Although there are more than 30 people participating in the auction, they don’t really want many.

Boss Huo was a little uneasy, but he remembered the plan that Liu Qingshan had discussed with him last night, forced himself to hold it back and did not raise the sign.

Because if he raises a bid, the reason is similar to that of Liu Qingshan, and he will be blocked by those from European and American countries.

After a while, the price will rise.

Although Liu Qingshan is determined to win the aircraft carrier, he does not want to be the sucker, nor does he want to give Looney, Mitsui Ki and others a chance to retaliate.

The strange atmosphere at the scene also made the auctioneer a little at a loss. He glanced at the No. 1 seed player Mr. Mount and said:

"Sir, you can bid now."

Liu Qingshan was still in the old age and kept flipping the license plate in his hand, just not lifting it up.

His actions even aroused the suspicion of some bidders present: Isn’t this guy not interested in aircraft carriers anymore, right?

In the past two days, they also heard some rumors. It is said that after Mr. Mounting owned another oil field, his appetite grew bigger and was negotiating with the shipyard to purchase a cruiser.

This news was reported by Makarov, the head of the shipyard, and should be more reliable.

It is very likely to be a good idea to get an aircraft carrier that has been unloaded with weapons and equipment, but the cruiser is different. It is a real killer weapon. In the backward place in Liland, it can indeed be the king.

However, Comrade Makarov looked down on Mr. Mount and publicly told reporters that he would never sell cruisers to individuals, which was an extremely irresponsible practice.

With this episode, these people are even more unable to understand Liu Qingshan’s thoughts, and no one dares to bid.

If someone really doesn't want it, you jump out as a buyer, isn't that unlucky?

The auctioneer was so embarrassed. He coughed lightly and spoke again: "Sir, you can bid now, our base price is 190 million."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone finally spoke, but it was not a price call.

Boss Huo stood up and complained: "I have an objection to the reserve price. It's too high. It's hit the top all at once. Can you lower the price?"

There is no precedent for this situation, but this time, the leadership of Xiaowu is really too ugly, he is crazy about being poor, right?

After Boss Huo sat down, Luni also stood up and expressed: "Yes, this reserve price is indeed not reasonable enough. Should you organizer ask for our opinions in advance?"

Of course, Luni has ulterior motives. The bottom price is too high, so scared everyone to bid. So why are they talking about competition? How could he raise the price for Liu Qingshan?

Then several participants also expressed their opinions, which made Xiao Wu's leadership lose face.

They went out and had a brief meeting, made several more calls, and then returned and explained to the auctioneer.

The auctioneer finally breathed a sigh of relief and announced excitedly:

"After readjusting, the base price was set at 150 million US dollars, and each price increase was no less than one million. Now everyone can bid!"

Boss Huo also spoke again: "This time it's almost the same, but it's only a price of 150 million. I still can't afford it. If you are a gambling boat, you will never be able to make it back in your life. Forget it."

Those government officials stared at him: We are delicious and delicious, and we are offering them like an old man. You are not playing any more. We are all in vain, right?

Boss Huo didn't care, so he reached out to the others to signal, and then sat down to watch the show.

At this time, Liu Qingshan raised his license plate: "Add one million."

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief: Finally, I’ve bid, wait for you for a long time!

Looney immediately followed, raised the sign, and added a million.

Then several people raised their bids, and the prices continued to rise to 158 million.

The scene finally had a little bit of an auction, and it was no longer lifeless.

Liu Qingshan was indeed the weather vane. As soon as he moved, someone followed him.

Liu Qingshan naturally remembered all these followers in his small notebooks, and these guys will be his enemies in the future.

If there is a chance, Liu Qingshan will attack him without hesitation and will never show any mercy.

Regardless of whether these people’s intentions are directed at Liu Qingshan or the country represented by Liu Qingshan.

Even Mitsui Ki had the courage to raise the sign. He was not as thick-skinned as Boss Huo, so he had to symbolize it.

Unexpectedly, after he raised the cards, no one continued to follow up, and the pause button seemed to be pressed on the scene.

"Mr. No. 15 has bid 159 million yuan, is there any price increase?"

The auctioneer took advantage of the situation and continued to mobilize the atmosphere on the scene.

However, this pause also caused chaos and no one continued to shout.

Hehe, Boss Huo made a laugh, the sound was neither loud nor small, just so that Mitsuiki, who was not far from him, could be heard.

Mitsuki's head buzzed, and he really wanted to slap himself hard now: I told you to talk too much!

Because the No. 15 sign is the code name of Mitsuiki.

If this aircraft carrier really hit him, his father would probably have to throw the knife in front of him and force him to have a caesarean section.

The current Mitsui Consortium will never be able to provide more than one billion yuan in funds no matter what.

"One 59 million, the first time..."

The auctioneer spoke very slowly, and he didn't want to trade at this price. In that case, it would even affect his reputation as a white glove.

However, no one continued to bid on the spot.

Mitsui Mu's forehead began to sweat, and his eyes looked at Looney, his eyes full of asking for help.

Although you can choose not to fulfill your obligations after bidding, then your reputation will become bad and will be blacklisted by all auction houses in the future and you will not be allowed to participate in the auction.

Moreover, the deposit paid will definitely not be returned. For Mitsuiki, the five million deposit is not a small amount.

Faced with Mitsuki's gaze for help, Looney could only pretend to turn a blind eye, and he didn't want to be a takeover man.

As the auction proceeded, Luni also became suspicious of his judgment, because from various signs, Liu Qingshan did not show the attitude of winning the aircraft carrier.
