Chapter 343 Give up the Auction

Lin Wanxia and her group returned to the manor.

Dinner time was also meeting time.

They sat around the long dining table, and none of them had much appetite.

Chen Manshu was the first to express his opinion: "I am a professional in business, but I don't know anything about aircraft carriers. I can honestly say that among those who came to the meeting today, only two families have the real ability to buy this aircraft carrier.

To be precise, it is a country.

As W's brother from the same mother, Da E obviously wants to continue to own this aircraft carrier, which is less than 70% complete, after the separation. Unfortunately, because the family was severely damaged by the separation, their country cannot afford the money.

But they don't want to let M and our country buy the ship."

The baby-faced man spread his hands: "We are bodyguards. In the words of Comrade Chen: I am a professional in fighting, but I don't know anything about aircraft carriers."

Several special forces members nodded.

Jiang Sinian didn't say anything, but just looked at one of the silent people.

Lin Wanxia followed Jiang Sinian's gaze.

She had noticed this man when she came here. He was older than Da Pingzi and there was no sign of him having been a soldier.

The special forces squad that Jiang Sinian used to be in had all received professional training, which was a bit like "returning to basics".

Ordinary officers and soldiers all had signs of training on their bodies, which were muscle memories formed by long-term training.

Their walking posture, muscles and even hairstyle would betray them.

But Jiang Sinian and the others were different. If they were thrown into a crowd, there would be no difference if one did not judge them by their appearance.

So Lin Wanxia did not think much about it.

The man pushed his glasses and shook his head at Jiang Sinian.

Jiang Sinian did not say anything, but turned to ask Lin Wanxia: "What do you think?"

"I did not even see the ship, how can I see it?" Lin Wanxia spread her hands.

At today's negotiation meeting, she was shown a few photos.

Even the "Little Dragon Girl" was helpless, and the others had no good suggestions.

Jiang Sinian suggested: "Then let's study our opponents first."

This is the truth, but it is still a bit troublesome to implement.

Jiang Sinian and his team have no problem with their skills, but they don't speak the language.

Finally, He Yucheng said: "Maybe I can help a little."

So He Yucheng came forward, and Jiang Sinian and his team went out to "visit" as He Yucheng's bodyguards.

After everyone left, Chen Manshu asked Lin Wanxia: "Do you think we can succeed this time?"

Lin Wanxia shook her head, "If it goes smoothly, wouldn't it be in vain that those powers blockaded us for so many years?"

"Our own people are so smart, can't we develop it ourselves? Anyway, as far as I know, this aircraft carrier is just an empty shell when it comes to us."

"Then do you know why it took ten years from the time we bought it back to the time the first aircraft carrier came into being? Building an aircraft carrier is not that simple. It's not that we haven't thought about building it ourselves, and the preliminary research and preparation alone took seven years. Building an aircraft carrier is a time-consuming and laborious task.

Although the aircraft carrier of Country W is a semi-finished product, if we take it back, we can at least save half of the research and development time. Moreover, this aircraft carrier under construction is more advanced in all aspects. It is still a great help to us. "Lin Wanxia explained.

Chen Manshu nodded: "As for the money, it's on me. But the rest is up to you."

Lin Wanxia didn't say anything. Can she change the humiliating road of buying an aircraft carrier in this virtual world?!

***

Country W sold the aircraft carrier because of financial constraints.

When it first started selling, it thought it was a rare item and offered a sky-high price of hundreds of millions of dollars.

However, no one was interested.

Country W's first ideal buyer was its fellow country, Country E, but unfortunately Country E also had no money.

Of course, Country E would not admit that it had no money, but just made a random offer.

Disappointed, Country W turned to the second buyer, Country M.

They thought Country M would buy the aircraft carrier in order to block the aircraft carrier technology.

As a result, Country M only put forward a bunch of conditions to Country W.

The aircraft carrier was not allowed to be sold to the country, but only to individuals, and it could not be used for military purposes but only for commercial purposes.

All weapons, shipboards and other equipment on the aircraft carrier were removed.

In short, the main point was that if I don’t buy it, you can’t buy it either.

At the second investment conference, the number of buyers decreased by one-third.

Country W stated that the aircraft carrier would be sold in the form of an auction.

Everyone publicly bid and the highest bidder won.

The reserve price of the auction was 10 million dollars.

This time, Country W was very efficient and started the auction directly on the spot.

Chen Manshu refused to follow up after raising his card to 20 million.

In their team, the man with glasses was a little anxious, "Why don't you raise your cards? They're still adding more!"

The number of 20 million was estimated.

Except for Chen Manshu and Lin Wanxia who had the ability to "predict", the rest of the people didn't know how much it would cost to take down the aircraft carrier.

Chen Manshu explained: "Those who are still raising the price are not real buyers. They know we want this aircraft carrier urgently. So they bid maliciously. If we insist on following, do you believe they will not stop bidding until it reaches 100 million?"

"But..." The man with glasses frowned, his face full of anxiety, "It can't be bought by others!"

Lin Wanxia glanced at the man with glasses and comforted him, "Don't worry! This aircraft carrier is ours, no one can drive it away except us."

Sure enough, as Chen Manshu said, after Chen Manshu gave up the bidding, no one bid again after a few rounds.

The aircraft carrier was bought by a businessman from country x for 50 million dollars.

The man with glasses became even more anxious, "Hasn't the aircraft carrier been bought?"

Jiang Sinian patted him on the shoulder and lowered his voice, "Engineer Liang, don't worry!"

After the auction, the group returned to the manor.

Engineer Liang angrily threw his hat on the table in the living room, "What do you mean? Don't make promises if you can't do it! Do you know what this aircraft carrier means to us? How can you just give up?

Do you know that we are bullied by these powerful countries at sea all day long just because we don’t have an aircraft carrier?”

Chen Manshu didn’t know Liang Gong, and he felt unhappy when he heard him speak so impolitely, “What do you mean by giving up just like that? Do you know how much 50 million dollars is in RMB? "

According to the current exchange rate, it will cost four hundred million.

This is not a price that anyone can afford.

Of course, He Yucheng can come up with it, but he didn't prepare so much when he came. No matter

how rich a big family or the people in a big family are, most of the money is just on paper.

Take He Yucheng for example. When we say that he has assets of one hundred billion, it refers to his company, stock funds, various investments, and movable and immovable properties. It doesn't mean that he can come up with four hundred million in a minute.

He also needs time to cash it out.

In front of money, backbone is sometimes worthless, let alone anger.

After a brief silence, Foreman Liang sighed, sat on the sofa with his head in his arms, "This aircraft carrier is really important to us! Everyone is waiting for us to bring the aircraft carrier back!"

"You guys? "Lin Wanxia captured the key words.
