Chapter 0498 The Adventures of Tintin (Eight Seven)
Come on, you two should drink some water first. Qin'er handed the cup over, and Dupont Dupont hurriedly took the cup in his hand. He raised his neck and water started flowing. They didn't even have time to take a breath, so they poured a cup of water into themselves.
in the belly
It seems that you are running here at the speed of a marathon, right? Guan Heng hugged his shoulders and asked with a smile: "Tell me, what is it that makes you so panicked?"
Boss Burbold and Alan's group, who had just been taken to the secret prison, were all kidnapped by Laplace's men armed with live ammunition.
Dupont staggered two steps forward and flopped down on the chair: Uh-huh, I'm exhausted. These guys won't let you and Ding Ding go. You must be careful.
Well, we know about this matter. Guan Heng has no time to think about it now. Then he said to Captain Tintin: Hurry to the auction venue. Time is running out.
When several people went out, they took Dupont Dupont with them. According to Guan Heng's words: Although the detectives in these two bureaus are unreliable, they are equipped with guns and can be used as shields at critical moments.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are now auctioning a confiscated property in the suburbs of this city, named Marlinspike Hall, with a reserve price of xxx million
The emcee of the auction, in suits and leather shoes, cheerfully said into the microphone: Those who are preparing to bid, please raise the number plate in your hand to bid. Each time the number plate is raised, the bid will be increased by 10,000.
Good guy, it seems that many people are eyeing the real estate in Marlinspike Hall. He held his hand on the guardrail in front of the venue's seats and raised his eyes to look at the venue: Oh, there are two or three captains of competitors.
Less
Huh, this is my family's ancestral industry. I am determined to win it. With the financial support of the professor, Captain Haddock looked full of confidence. He sat in the middle of the venue with his head held high: I want to see who is so bold and dares to compete with me.
Compete
In the blink of an eye, the bidding for Marlinspike Hall has reached its most intense stage
I offered 3 million, Captain Haddock roared arrogantly. At this time, it was already the sixth time that he had called out the price. Several other competitors either lacked interest or were frightened by him. They would have already
Just gave up the bidding
It wasn't because the captain's price was very high, it was just that the other party wanted to quote the number when he raised the sign. The captain's ferocious look, like a wolf, immediately stared straight at him, scaring the other party that he couldn't even hold the sign. Where could he find it?
Do you have the guts to bid again?
At this time, a loud voice said: I offer 3.2 million. This man is a wealthy Middle Eastern oil king. He is about forty-five or six years old, with a big belly and a rough face. He relies on his wealth and never gives up, and he is fighting with Haddock.
The captain is competing
Humph, this damn fat guy actually dared to meet my sharp eyes. The captain looked disdainful, and he cursed in a low voice: Good boy, I will fight you till the end.
Immediately afterwards, Haddock, with a fierce look on his face, raised his sign and shouted: I offer 3.3 million.
Hey, Captain, you have to be more careful. Ding Ding grabbed Haddock and whispered in his ear: The current price is close to the bottom line of our reserve funds. We can't afford nothing.
Ding Ding said what he said, and Guan Heng helped him by saying: The professor doesn't have a second patent to sell, so he can't help us raise more money. You need to slow down the speed of raising the price with the sign.
Uh, I know. Captain Haddock glanced at the Middle Eastern oil king who was still bidding with him in the distance. He couldn't help but feel anxious. He couldn't help but stood up and stepped forward. Who would have thought that he would bump into a passing man?
Damn you, you are blind. The irritated captain did not think at all. He raised the sign in his hand as if to fight: I will beat you. Do you believe it? He was so frightened that the other party ran away in a flash.
Well, the bearded customer bid again, this time it was 3.31 million yuan. The emcee of the auction could see clearly from the stage, and he said loudly: Is there anyone else who bids higher?
Huh, I was hesitant to give up when I offered 4 million, but I was angered by the captain's price increase. The oil king of the Middle East immediately raised the sign in his hand: Is the uncle's money more expensive than mine? I'll play with you.
Oh my god, Ding Ding almost fainted when he saw this scene. He held the railing with his hands and asked in a trembling voice: Captain, are you crazy? Why are you holding up signs randomly?
The captain of me was so anxious that he almost gave himself two words: I didn’t mean it, what should I do now?
Our offer is 4.1 million. At this moment, Guan Heng didn't even think about it. He took the sign from the captain's hand and immediately raised the price.
Guan Heng, you are crazy too. Ding Ding and the captain shouted at the same time: We only have more than three million funds, and now we have exceeded the budget.
It doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Thanks to me, I was prepared. Guan Heng smiled and handed the sign back to Captain Haddock, and then said to the two of them: Now feel free to bid. I will take care of the funding. Thousand
Never give up your family’s ancestral inheritance
The captain was anxious and nervous, and he kept raising the sign mechanically, and began to risk his life and bid with the Middle East oil king on the opposite side.
In the end, Haddock won. With a sky-high price of more than 7 million, he crushed the confidence of the Middle East oil king, and with a slight advantage, he bid for the real estate ownership of Marlinspike Hall.
Oh my god, how can I pay for such a large sum of money? Captain Haddock's mouth was full of bitterness, and he felt that his heart was tight and swollen. He murmured to himself: Well, that's a deficit of nearly four million.
Ah, I will definitely go to debtor's jail. Haddock couldn't help but feel dejected as he said this. He covered his head and sat there blankly.
At this time, the auction emcee announced: The real estate bidders in Marlinspike Hall are invited to come to the stage to receive the property ownership certificate.
The sound was like a thunderbolt from the blue, causing Tintin and the captain's heads to buzz. Calculus and the Dupont brothers present could only shake their heads and sigh, saying that there was nothing they could do to help.
At this moment, Qin'er, who had just ran away without knowing where she was, suddenly hurried towards everyone's direction carrying a leather suitcase.
Ah Heng, it's just as you expected. When Qin'er came over, she had a happy look on her face. She chuckled and said: There are more than a dozen large and small gems on the scabbard of that scimitar. I put the knife and
The gemstones were sent to a jewelry store for appraisal by an appraiser and sold, earning nearly 5 million in cash.
Look, the money is all here. Qin'er patted the suitcase in her hand, and then handed it to the captain: Well, the money to buy Marlinspike Hall this time should be enough.
