Chapter 359 Fierce Competition
Only two businesses on the entire second floor hadn't made much of a move; everyone else was competing. Prices were skyrocketing, and for a wealthy woman like Gu Qing, the price difference seemed like an insurmountable chasm.
"If all the minerals on this planet were mined, the money earned would definitely be several times more than this. Otherwise, do you think these powerful families are stupid?" Lou Xiaoyu complained, leaning back in her chair.
"Speaking of prominent families, why doesn't your Lou family participate?" Gu Qing said to Lou Xiaoyu, playing with a fruit in her hand.
"The old folks in this family are too scared to care about these things right now, and I, who can take care of them and make decisions, don't care about these things for the time being." His nonchalant attitude was infuriating.
Gu Qing knew that Lou Xiaoyu was only considering buying him Planet 2.
In the end, the Federation bought the mineral planet. If the difference in the auction price was too large, these powerful families would not give way. However, if the difference in the auction price was not so large, they were still willing to give the Federation face.
The auction for one planet lasted for more than an hour. Next up was planet number 2. Everyone sat up straight. The 3D projection of the second planet allowed them to clearly see its condition.
The vast ocean, occasionally teeming with strange creatures, is incomparable to the two isolated landmasses.
However, the good thing is that both of these lands are very suitable for planting, as one is evergreen and the other has distinct seasons.
"This planet currently belongs to the First Mercenary Group, and the ownership and documentation are clear. The land on the planet has been cleared by the mercenaries, and there are no large exotic plants or beasts. Although its area cannot compare to that of the ocean, it is sufficient for cultivation."
Of course, it can't be said that this planet is without its flaws. After all, the planet has a large ocean area, and mercenary groups cannot control the ocean, so it is inevitable that there are many ferocious beasts and strange creatures on it.
Moreover, at the beginning and middle of each year, large numbers of marine creatures come ashore during the tides.
Although the group of strange beasts that have come ashore appears to be large for the time being, their level is not particularly high, but this cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, in order to avoid being held accountable, the First Mercenary Group specifically asked our auction house to make a statement on this matter, stating that once the planet is auctioned off, they will no longer be responsible for the security of the planet's interior.
Of course, for this reason, the price will be adjusted accordingly.
The auctioneer then gave a detailed description of where the beaches were, where crops could be grown, where there were mountains, and where there were freshwater river systems on land.
"The auction on this planet is different from the previous ones where all payments were made with credit points. Now, you need to pay with the corresponding purification plants or purification pills based on the credit points you have."
Those interested in this planet have likely already read our information carefully, so I won't go into detail here. Now, I'll discuss the planet's reserve price.
The starting price for Blue Star No. 2 is 32 billion credits. Each bid must be at least one billion. The bell rang to begin the auction.
Bidding was incessant, and soon the price rose from 32 billion to 57 billion. This was Qiu's private room, and the price jumped directly to 60 billion.
Gu Qing and her group haven't made a bid yet. "The Qiu family is really rich," Gu Qing remarked casually.
The lights in another box, number 10, which hadn't been used before, also came on, and the price rose to 61 billion.
Next up was VIP room number 14, where the bid went straight to 65 billion.
The Qi family in Box 3 immediately added another billion.
After several rounds of observation, it was found that, apart from the rough voice representing the Federation not bidding, all the private rooms on the second floor had made their bids.
Gu Qing sighed inwardly. She had thought there would be fewer competitors for Planet 2, but she hadn't expected it to be so fierce.
After another round, the price had risen to 80 billion. At Bo Chuan's signal, Gu Qing pressed the auction button in their private room.
The price of 81 billion did not stop others; soon after, the price reached 90 billion.
At this moment, the loudspeaker in box 11 blared, "Our Gao family really needs this land worth 93 billion. If anyone needs purification or pure exotic plants in the future, I will give you a discount."
Isn't the Gao family the same as Gao Yan? That's right, their family belongs to the Purifier family, so they have pretty good connections in the interstellar world.
As soon as she said that, several people spoke up, saying, "Are you a high-level purification master? Last time, thanks to your arrangements, my junior was safe. Okay, since you want it, then we will withdraw."
"Yes! We still have to give Senior Purification Technician face."
Lou Xiaoyu pursed her lips upon hearing these words. "She's just taking advantage of the upcoming gathering of Purifiers."
