The first thousand four hundred and sixty-six chapters of the rich Tang's terrorist assets
"VIP No. 6, 150 million!"
The host was the courtesan who had seduced Downton. When he saw him raising his placard to bid, he deliberately rolled his eyes and acted like a jilted lover.
She had been waiting for this scene for a long time, just to create scandal and boost her own worth.
In the entire opera hall, when the courtesan called out the number of the VIP box, they stopped talking and looked over.
Everyone knows that sitting there is the new God of War, His Highness Downton.
The guests who were interested in bidding shook their heads, and then smiled regardless of whether Downton could see it or not.
"Why……"
It was the first time for some young nobles to attend the auction, and they were taken to see the world by their elders. Seeing this scene, they were very puzzled.
"This is a friendly signal and a show of sincerity."
The elder explained.
"But this price is obviously not the bottom line. Those companies just now were so excited that they were determined to win."
The young nobleman questioned.
"Fool, that may be pretentious, tricking your opponents into making big bids, thereby reducing the competition for subsequent auction items. Here, don't trust anyone easily, and don't trust what you see with your eyes. The only thing you can rely on is your experience.
"
The elder was very patient, "Of course, after His Highness Downton bids, nothing will matter anymore."
The young noble curled his lips.
"Boy, you still have a lot to learn. Don't just focus on the auction items. The behavior style of those old nobles is also worth learning. Most of the people sitting here are old foxes."
"Then Downton is the little fox?"
The young noble's eyes lit up, thinking he had discovered a big secret.
"wrong."
The elder shook his head.
"Um?"
The young nobleman was confused.
"Downton is a ferocious beast. There are also those wealthy families, so after they bid, any sound will disappear. Remember, the only ones who can fight with ferocious beasts for food are ferocious beasts."
The elders sighed.
"What about us foxes?"
the young noble asked.
"Of course, follow the beast and eat some scraps."
The elder did not say the second half of the sentence, which was, 'If you have the ability, you can also play with beasts', but it is too difficult to achieve this step.
The last person to do this was Downton, the Fox of the West.
"I understand that there are many valuable things here. The friendship of wealthy families and the favor of the royal family, I should seize those tangible benefits."
The young nobleman suddenly understood.
The elder did not speak, but his eyes narrowed with a look of relief, and he was a teachable child.
"One hundred and fifty million, three times!"
The courtesan has hosted many auctions and is used to this situation, so she speaks faster to avoid wasting time.
"make a deal."
The courtesan announced that the bid for VIP No. 6 was successful, and the opera house immediately burst into warm applause. Congratulations to Downton.
Seeing those big aristocrats and businessmen who usually stood tall and high above them all looking at Downton's box with smiles on their faces, the social butterfly was full of emotions.
"I really want to sit next to Downton as a female companion and enjoy the awe of this kind of master!"
The courtesan sighed deeply. Even if it was only for a moment, it was a pity that this honor belonged to Sissi.
"Hey, why don't they bid anymore?"
Hutao was eating an egg tart, and was preparing for a killing spree.
"Because they like your cuteness!" Downton teased, "Go thank you!"
Although she didn't understand why, the little Loli still stood on the balcony of the box and made a skirt-lifting ceremony below.
"Thanks!"
The applause that had faded away once again sounded.
Downton did not show up in person, which seemed rude, but people had no dissatisfaction except jealousy and envy, because this is not called arrogance, but the attitude that a wealthy family and royal family should have.
The bidding continues, and Hutao is also buying and buying. She has no idea about money, so when she encounters an item she likes, she will sell it.
"Eighty million, deal!"
"Two hundred and sixty million, deal!"
"500 million, deal!"
…
The sound of transaction prices stimulated the eardrums of the guests. More and more people looked at it, and they stayed in the VIP box No. 6 for a longer time.
"What did you buy all this for?"
"There is absolutely no pattern!"
"It seems like I bought it for that little girl!"
The guests guessed the answer, but they couldn't believe it. For a child, more than one billion gold coins were spent in less than half an hour. Isn't this too exaggerated? There are many words from Wucuo Novel Network
"Oh, you don't have to give in to me. Just bid if you want it. In fact, for some things, such as the magic slate, my intention is to take it if I can, and throw it away if I can't."
Hu Tao stood up and shouted towards the audience.
The noisy auditorium was completely deserted.
"There are rumors that Downton is a locomotive, but I believe it now."
The dark psychology of the nobles broke out. There was no way, Hu Tao and Downton had nothing to do with each other. Except for their little lovers, they didn't think a man would spend so much money on a little girl.
With more than a billion dollars, not to mention the courtesans in the royal city, plus the ladies and ladies, they can all sleep with it.
"Oh, I want that too, 100 million gold coins!"
When she saw the maid walking onto the stage carrying a tray with a colorful butterfly pendant on it, Hutao directly offered the price. She felt that this item suited Sissi very well.
"Hug...Sorry, the bidding hasn't started yet."
The corners of the courtesan's mouth twitched. Did this little loli take the money as money? And Downton actually indulged her.
"It's too trenchy."
The nobles had nothing to say, but they also knew that Downton was not short of money.
Although the Lombard Alliance is about to be surpassed by the Kuta Magic Empire, it still barely maintains the title of the richest empire in the continent. As the most beloved princess of Maximilian II, Sissi has enough personal assets to be ranked in the continent.
Top ten richest people.
Not to mention Downton's rich and beautiful wealthy wife, she herself is also an expert in making money. The free trade zone created a precedent for the trade situation. The Guns and Flowers Merchant Group was established less than five years ago.
The dominant logistics company in mainland China, its Goblin Venture Capital Company, is investing crazily and merging a large number of companies, carrying out some mysterious layouts.
The tentacles of the goblins are extending to every corner of the continent, and the glorious business empire that the goblins once established seems to be reappearing.
Except for the Goblin Consortium, only a few people know that the newly emerging Blackwater security company on the mainland is owned by Downton. It provides a large number of experienced mercenaries and is nominally responsible for security. But in fact, it is
Help fight the war.
Barbarians, hill dwarves, bloodthirsty orcs, Krupp giants, drow, and even super beasts can be provided. As long as the customer needs it and can afford it, Blackwater Security can provide it.
Because of the emergence of this company, the competition model among nobles on the mainland is changing. What used to be petty fights, mutual duels, and assassinations has become an upright push.
A mode of proxy war is beginning.
The world has become unstable, and wars are everywhere, which is the stage where the arms dealer giants are active. A pattern embroidered with magic cannons begins to fill the world.
It is the symbol of Krupp Military Industry, representing the most advanced, sophisticated, reliable, and cheapest weapons.
When Downton first became the Duke of the West, he began to spend a lot of money to build a military-industrial system in the underground city of Porus. Now, with the cooperation with Lombardy, Saint Laurent, and Britannia, the system tends to
Finish.
A team composed of Krupp giants, dwarves, gnomes, and hobgoblin craftsmen who are skilled in forging, metallurgy, materials science, etc. are shining with the light of wisdom.
This crystallization of light made the entire continent howl in the flames of war.
Downton really didn't want to earn this kind of money, with every copper plate stained with the fishy smell of blood, but the words of the second son convinced him.
"If you don't make money, someone else will. Rather than handing over the fuse of the war, it's better to hold it in your own hands."
So Downton became an arms giant, selling weapons all over the world. Especially with the powerful logistics of the Guns and Flowers Merchant Group, his weapons could even be sold to the barbarian tribes in the far north and the humid tropical jungles in the south.
The Amazon female warriors living there, if someone gives them a war blade branded with Krupp's pattern, they are not only willing to sleep with him for a few nights, but they will also cut off the other person's head and treasure it in the tree house forever.
In their opinion, the mainlanders who sent the weapons were their lucky gods.
Of course, the salesmen who went to the south to expand trade didn't think so, but the generous salaries allowed groups of men to follow suit.
While selling weapons and acting as war agents, Downton's Explorers Association, composed of dwarves, also under the protection of mercenaries, explores mineral veins, world relics, ruins, and interprets world history...
Of course, the most important task is to explore for valuable things.
As the owner of the Ring of the Lonely Mountain and the nominal king of the dwarves, Downton used a lot of money and reputation to recruit many dwarf tribes. The Explorers Association was composed of these dwarves.
If Downton hadn't allowed it, the slave-hunting group composed of drow elves who had a good relationship with him would have planned to traffic people.
These rangers have been accustomed to killing and blood since they were young. They are simply born adventurers. In their eyes, there is no pity or sympathy, only profit.
Downton's chariot is actually on track and it's impossible to slow down.
Every subordinate who swears to follow Downton to the death needs not only glory, but also benefits. They also have families and tribes to support.
A team will be stable only when it is maintained by interests, which is far more firm than any illusory oaths and beliefs.
There are three gangs of heroes. No matter how capable Downton is, he only has one person and limited energy, so he can only lead the general direction, while his subordinates will implement the plan in detail.
Fortunately, Downton's broad mind has allowed him to recruit too many foreign talents. Those races that are looked down upon by other humans have developed great talents under his hands.
Downton was a little distracted. When he heard Hu Tao's scream, he realized that she had spent another 300 million to buy something that he couldn't even name. (To be continued.)
