"Mr. Trini brought all his savings. But your risk is still very high." Mendoza said, "Captain Lin who captured you is very greedy. He hopes to get fifteen hundred yuan from you."
Voucher.”
"What is a negotiable instrument?"
"It's the currency we have here." Mendoza said hurriedly, "Mr. Trini has promised to use all his savings here to help you, but his savings are far from enough to make up this amount..."
Marina was so nervous that she almost fainted. Fortunately, Miss Mendoza's next words made her relieved, "...the Jesuit priests are also very sympathetic to your experience. They donated a few hundred yuan, and now you are specially
Mr. Rini can buy you for two thousand circulation coupons╠╠I don’t think anyone at this venue will offer such a high price.”
Marina expressed her heartfelt thanks with an almost trembling voice. She watched with tears in her eyes as Mendoza quietly walked out of her sight.
In the darkness, Lin Hanlong was sitting on a small square table on the left side of the catwalk. Drinks and cigars were already placed on the table. In order to facilitate the reception, admission tickets must be registered and received in advance. He was smoking a cigar while waiting for the auction to start. Follow him
At the same table were old colleagues from the machinery factory. They came here early to have a meal after work. On the way here, everyone said they just came to see the scene and had absolutely no intention of buying a Yanmar. But when they arrived at the venue, everyone
I still chose a very front seat, only one table away from the catwalk. The nearest table had already been reserved by some crazy guys on the bbs.
Lin Hanlong took a look and saw that there were about seventy or eighty elders who came, but they didn't appear to be deserted. It seemed that most of them didn't want to reveal their greedy looks.
"Old Lin! Old Lin!" Lin Hanlong felt someone tapping his shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was Dongmen Chuiyu. Dongmen held an unlit cigar in his hand and said to him, "Lend me your cigar cutter!"
"
Lin Hanlong responded, picked up the cigar cutter from the table and handed it to Dongmen Chuiyu. This cigar cutter was made by himself when he had time. It was light, beautiful and easy to use.
"Old Lin! Which of these foreign horses do you like?"
Lin Hanlong waved his hand: "No, no, I just came to have a look, it's fun." In fact, Lin Hanluan's other veterans who said "just came to see" were also duplicitous. He had already seen the Yanmar introduction and photos on BBS
I picked up a girl with blond hair and blue eyes. Not only because of this girl’s body shape and appearance, but also she seems to have a strong interest in natural science. Lin Hanlong is not particularly interested in simple exchanges of bodily fluids, but if he can have spiritual communication with the girl, then
It's quite different.
Dongmen Chuiyu said "hehe" a few times and already cut the cigar in his hand. He returned the cigar cutter to Lin Hanlong and said, "Actually, I just came to take a look."
Lin Hanlong casually picked up the lighter on the table and lit it up to help Dongmen light the cigar. He watched Dongmen Chuiyu take the lit cigar and walk back to the table in the front row step by step. He secretly laughed in his heart. "Come and see? Liar?"
Ghost."
Before the auction, the Yangma girls were led to the stage one by one by the female naturalized staff. Like the models of later generations, they first walked slowly to the stage, and then there were countless greedy, curious or obscene models in the audience.
They stood looking directly at each other, turned around a few times, and then walked back to the curtain next to the catwalk to wait for the auction. Of course, they were very different from the models. They were all wearing uniform white dresses, with their hair tied up.
There was no cat-like walking style on the road. Most people were either timid or afraid to walk, or they were led by others with blank eyes. Lin Hanlong heard that in the human traffickers' market in the Middle East, they were allowed to do whatever they wanted without wearing anything. He
I don’t want it to happen again here╠╠It’s just selling meat and is vulgar.
Finally he saw the blond girl he was interested in. As soon as she appeared, her smart eyes were looking around, as if she didn't care about her situation and was just curious to see the world. Lin Hanlong thought, this girl is not simple!
Someone seemed to have stood up at the table in front of her and moved towards the feet of the blond girl. The rain was blowing at the east gate! This guy also took a fancy to this girl! Lin Hanlong's heart sank. It seemed like there was going to be a fight tonight.
As soon as the bell rang, a bald man wearing a neat suit jacket and tie walked over with a cheerful face. He climbed onto the auction stage from the steps on the right side of the stage.
This person is He Fanghui. He has been working in the financial department since he was transferred back to Lingao from Sanya, because his major in the old time and space was auction, and he was familiar with the auction business and the process of disposal of non-performing assets by banks, courts and customs. However, the security war has wiped out the entire island.
After the reform of land and agricultural taxes, there was a large number of disposals of confiscated assets, so he quickly returned to his old business,
This auction was his duty. It was also "serving the elders", so of course he couldn't refuse. To show formality, he also put on the old suit he wore at the auction house.
He Fanghui scanned the hall with an expert's eye to make sure that all the observers were in place╠╠The latter were all maids. The main purpose was to ensure that everyone's bids were quickly transmitted to the auction platform without missing a beat.
He Fanghui sneered at the old time and space auction model of holding number plates, thinking that this was a manifestation of low auction technology and no enjoyment. Therefore, each seat in this auction has a fixed number. The bid is entirely up to the buyer.
Use hand signals, no need to hold up any number plate.
In addition to the elders who are interested in participating in the bidding, there are also several indigenous Europeans present here. Some of them are known by He Fanghui. I don’t know why they are allowed to participate in the auction. It is said that this is the request of the Intelligence Bureau╠╠ Could it be?
To show the majesty of my Senate?
Since the Executive Committee approved the participation of "Ghost Guy", there was a reason. He didn't have time to think too much. He raised the gavel three times and the hall fell into silence.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We are providing you with 17 S-class white female slaves tonight. The specific details have been published on the intranet. We ask you to start from the first place."
The first slave girl was brought to the display stand by the maid. The other two maids opened the curtain on the large display board, which revealed detailed data about her name, ethnicity, height, hair and eye color, and body measurements.
"I'll start from two hundred dollars," he said.
As the bids in the audience came one after another, the observers watched every small move on the seat: a touch on the collar, a raised finger, a raised pen.
"Two hundred and fifty yuan... Two hundred and seventy-five yuan... Is anyone willing to pay three hundred yuan?" He Fanhui shouted passionately, "There is someone on the right who is willing to pay three hundred yuan! Three hundred yuan! Someone is willing to pay.
……"
Marina watched the auction outside nervously. The first auction ended quickly: a seventeen-year-old girl from Persia was sold for 475 yuan.
"It seems like Zahra is very popular with people here."
"You know her?"
"We met at the slave market in Basra. We were auctioned together by a slave trader and became friends." The blonde girl said.
"Are you friends with a pagan?" Marina was puzzled.
"First of all, we are slaves." The blonde girl sighed. She pointed to the two Europeans who were drinking in the distance and whispered, "That's the Englishman who bought us in Basra. He is a big man."
The slave trader bought two hundred female slaves from Basra in one go! It turns out there are such wealthy customers here!"
"You must have suffered a lot."
"The British treated us very well, but it was hell on earth in the hands of the Barbary pirates..." The blonde girl shuddered, as if she didn't want to think about it, "Fortunately, they wanted to sell me for a big price, so they didn't torture me╠╠God
Bless me! Every slave trader I deal with thinks I can fetch a big price."
Marina simply couldn't imagine what terrible experiences this blond girl had had, and she couldn't help but tremble, praying that she could be rescued smoothly.
The foreign horses were pulled out for auction one by one. Lin Hanlong focused on the blond girl and did not pay too much attention to the auction situation of other female slaves. However, he could feel that the competition for the female slaves with whiter features was obviously much fiercer. The blond girl
There are a lot of people vying for the blue-eyed girl. The blond girl is one of the last ones╠╠It seems that the office is very familiar with the popularity of female slaves. The ones behind are obviously the last products, and the price is probably not low.
.
While he was worried, he hoped that everyone would have bought the big white Yangma by then and not come to snatch it from him. However, this guy Dongmen Chuiyu was obviously determined to win the girl and had never made a bid. As far as he knew, Dongmen Chuiyu
His daily expenses are very small, and he didn’t spend a lot of money to buy a maid. Basically, he used the maid subsidy to buy it in full. He probably has a lot of savings like himself.
However, Lin Hanlong has a sufficient advantage in terms of the amount of money. He enjoys many allowances: "technician level allowance", "harsh environment allowance", "heavy physical labor allowance"... these are all added up to a considerable amount.
.
The auction went quickly, and Marina found that the slave girls with light hair seemed to be more popular here, and the transaction prices were more than 800 yuan. The ones who were young and had good measurements were more than 1,000 yuan. There was a blond girl from Poland.
Although the girl was older, she still sold for a high price of 850 yuan. However, the Persian slave girl with brown hair and big almond eyes was also very marketable, and the bidding kept rising, with each transaction price not less than 600 yuan.
In a blink of an eye, the tenth slave girl was auctioned. The eleventh slave girl was the blonde girl. When the maids came to take her to the stage, she smiled at Marina: "Don't always have such a sad face."
"What's your name?" Marina suddenly realized that she still didn't know the girl's name.
"I am Sonia Lili Sharpe, a naturalist from Lisbon, may God bless you!" she said and was led to the stage.
