Chapter 964 Throat of the World (seeking a monthly ticket)

   This is Liu Qingshan's second bid. He made the first bid just now, which triggered a wave of follow-up. In the end, the baton was passed to Mitsui Ki, who almost knelt down as a result.

  So now Liu Qingshan is provoking Looney, but Looney dare not take it lightly, after all, Mitsuki is still paralyzed in his seat.

  Looney stared at Liu Qingshan, hoping to find something from the expression and eyes of the other party.

  But he was quickly disappointed, Liu Qingshan always looked at him with a smile, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

  Looney moved his hand holding the sign, but finally didn't have the courage to lift it up.

   "Coward!" Boss Huo muttered.

  This sentence also made Looney feel angry. How has he ever been despised as a descendant of the Rockefeller family?

   But Looney's mind is still clear: Could it be that the other party deliberately provoked me?

  The more I think about it, the more likely it is. The strategy they formulated before was to provoke deliberately and then raise the price wildly. Why does the other party seem to use this trick?

   Glancing at Mitsuki again, Looney endured it.

  Liu Qingshan also shook his head slightly, as if he was very disappointed with the performance of Looney and others.

   Without any words, it was just a shaking of the head, but it made the children of these big families feel like they were slapped **** the face twice.

   "Add a million!"

  Finally, Tony Getty couldn't bear the humiliation, and raised the sign in his hand again.

  The auctioneer on the stage was overjoyed: "Mr. No. 8 bid 162 million, is there anyone else who bid?"

  The scene fell into silence again, and the situation was almost the same as before. When the baton was passed to Tony, he stopped.

   It's like playing a game of drumming, now it's Tony's turn.

  When everyone's eyes were on Liu Qingshan, he didn't intend to increase the price at all, but put on an appearance of watching the show.

  Tony Getty was also a little flustered, but he was much stronger than Mitsuki just now, at least he was still calm on the surface.

   "162 million, the first time..."

  The auctioneer sees that no one bids anymore, so he can only follow the procedure.

  Tony was getting more and more flustered, and he regretted his impulsiveness just now.

  The key is that he wants an empty-shell aircraft carrier, which is really useless. Should it be converted into an ocean-going tanker that transports oil?

  In that case, it is better to buy a new one.

   "162 million, the second time..."

  The voice of the auctioneer was like a curse, which made Tony feel a headache. He glanced at Looney and the others beside him, but those few were indifferent and chose to be wise and safe.

   What kind of friends are these?

  If Tony knew idioms, he would definitely scold a friend like a fox friend.

   "I'll add one million." Another black uncle raised his sign.

  Tony wanted to kiss the other party's black cheek, and he secretly swore in his heart: If I bid again, I will go to hell!

   "Mr. No. 25 bid 163 million, who else bids?"

  The auctioneer continued to yell. He has presided over many large auctions, but this is the first time for such a weird auction.

   "I'll add one million." Liu Qingshan raised his card for the third time, this time, he didn't look at anyone.

  No one made any more bids. Looney and his group were completely discouraged, and no one dared to fight.

   And Uncle Hei also shrugged his shoulders: "Mr. Mountain, I don't have oil fields in my hands, so I quit."

  Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded towards President Mann to express his gratitude.

   Then, and then there is no more, the expected scene of you coming and going did not appear, Liu Qingshan relaxed and casually took pictures of the aircraft carrier.

  The most important thing is that the price is nearly 30 million lower. Who do you want to reason with?

  The dignitaries on Xiaowu’s side almost regretted it: If I had known this, what kind of auction would they be doing?

  Thus, these people looked at Hilton with complaints: it was all this guy's bad idea.

  Hilton was even more annoyed. He was sure that if he participated in the auction next time, it would be strange not to raise the price to 300 million.

  It's a pity, a group of raw melon eggs are worthless, and people take advantage of them for nothing.

  After the auction ended, the audience and reporters at the scene still started applauding.

  Liu Qingshan stood up, and then bowed around. He still had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't look very excited, as if he had done an ordinary thing such as eating and drinking water.

  However, his heart is far from being as calm as his appearance.

  If there were not so many people present, Liu Qingshan really wanted to raise his arms high and shout: The aircraft carrier is ours now!

   "Brother Qingshan, congratulations, your wish has come true." Boss Huo and Liu Qingshan clapped their hands together.

   Then, looking at the ashen-faced Luni and the others, Boss Huo grinned:

   "Brother Qingshan, you got a great deal. You were planning to spend 300 million yuan, but now you have only used half of it. You must treat me, hahaha!"

   Hearing what he said, Looney and the others turned green.

  They lost, they lost with almost no resistance. At the critical moment, they lacked enough courage.

  But now that the dust has settled, it's too late to say anything, so I'd better leave here quickly, so as not to become someone else's background board.

  The one who was most unwilling was Mitsui Ki, the opportunity for revenge was right in front of him, but unfortunately he didn't cherish it, and if there was another chance, he might have to wait ten thousand years.

  After Liu Qingshan completed the delivery procedures and was interviewed by reporters, he left the city hall and returned to the cruise ship.

  As Boss Huo said: This event must be celebrated.

   Waiting for them to return to the cruise ship, they found that the invited guests were already waiting on the ship.

   "Sir, thank you for your support." Liu Qingshan and Uncle Man hugged each other.

  President Mann had a kind smile on his face: "Mr. Mountain, what I have done for you is nothing compared to what you have done for us."

  That's right, President Man's appearance at the auction was also invited by Liu Qingshan.

  During this time, he was on a friendly visit to some countries along the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, and was invited by Liu Qingshan to help out.

   From the effect point of view, it is quite good.

  As for Rainbow City’s plans to purchase cruisers, it was naturally the smoke bombs released by Liu Qingshan through reporters to confuse opponents.

  Under the careful layout of Liu Qingshan, those who were hostile were forced not to act rashly, so the aircraft carrier was auctioned off at a lower price.

   While Liu Qingshan was on the cruise ship, tasting the joy of victory, the news of the successful auction had already been sent back to China through some means. Of course, only a few people knew the inside story.

   "Good job, we really saw the right person, Qingshan is a good comrade!" Even the leader gave such an evaluation.

   Several leaders present nodded in approval, but they also knew that this was just the first step.

  The next task is heavier and more difficult. I have to travel across the ocean to bring the aircraft carrier back. I don’t know how much resistance there is.

  Liu Qingshan in the shipyard enjoyed a relatively leisurely time, dismantling the equipment on the aircraft carrier naturally didn't need him, a layman, to stare at him, and professionals were in charge.

  This process will probably take nearly two months, and Liu Qingshan will wait here with peace of mind.

  After mid-May, Chen Dongfang returned in a hurry. The drawings had been handed in smoothly, and they successfully completed the task.

   Accompanying Chen Dongfang, Yu Guangming, Ma Laosan and others, everyone knew that they would have to deal with various difficulties in the future, so they all rushed over to help Liu Qingshan in the same boat.

  During this period, there was another happy event. The relationship between Li Tie and Vera had been established. Liu Qingshan officially held the engagement ceremony on behalf of the man's parents.

  Brothers got engaged, and Li Tieniu was the happiest. Once he was happy, he made everyone else drink too much.

  After drinking Li Tie's engagement wine, Chen Dongfang and others left temporarily to go to some countries in Eastern Europe, first to see the business of Longteng International Trading Company, and second to say hello.

   At critical moments, maybe they can help out.

   Wait until mid-June, the shipyard finally notified the delivery.

  Liu Qingshan led the team to check and accept it. According to several professionals who have been in charge of the ship, the situation is not bad.

   Except for the internal facilities that have not been built, the main body of the aircraft carrier has been completed.

   Except for the dismantling of the power system and weapon system, the rest are basically left untouched, which also provides the greatest convenience for subsequent reconstruction.

  Since there is no problem, Liu Qingshan will happily settle the final payment. Now, this aircraft carrier belongs to him completely.

   However, there is no power system on it, and if you want to transport it back, you must use a large tugboat.

   And one can't be towed at all, at least two are needed.

  Liu Qingshan directly hired three tugboats to avoid encountering strong waves at sea. Although the aircraft carrier claimed that it would never sink, the original Titanic also said so.

  There are tugboats at the shipyard, but Liu Qingshan doesn’t use theirs. Chen Dongfang and the others have already contacted them. They hired three tugboats and more than a dozen sailors from the ancient civilization of the Aegean Sea.

  As the trade of Longteng Company grows bigger and wider, Xiguo is also their partner now.

   After all, on the way home, Xiguo is also the only way to go.

  After staying in Nikolayev City for more than two months, Liu Qingshan finally achieved his wish and was ready to embark on a long journey home.

  When going back, the route will be changed.

   Sea giants like aircraft carriers cannot pass through the Suez Canal at all, so they can only go around from the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean, and then all the way south, around the Cape of Good Hope at the southernmost tip of Africa, and come back in a big circle.

  Liu Qingshan dubbed this voyage a "journey around the world".

   Now that Prince Hamed's luxury cruise ship has completed its mission, Liu Qingshan asked the steward on board to go back on his own.

  For this matter, he will make a special trip to thank him in the future.

   Liu Qingshan has always treated friends with sincerity; of course, he has never been polite to enemies.

  In the early morning of the day of departure, Liu Qingshan led his people onto the deck of the aircraft carrier. At this moment, the summer sun fell on the sea. Standing on the wide deck, it seemed that the entire sea had become small.

  In front of the aircraft carrier, three tugboats are ready to go.

   "Let's go!" Liu Qingshan waved his hand violently, and then Chen Dongfang contacted the tugboat ahead through the walkie-talkie.

  Compared with an aircraft carrier, the tugboat seems a bit small. In fact, if taken out alone, it is also a big ship.

  Three tugboats are arranged in a zigzag shape in front of them, and they start their horsepower together.

  The huge pulling force finally made the aircraft carrier move.

   Oh **** ho ho!

  People on board cheered in unison.

   They have been looking forward to this moment for too long.

  Among the cheers, Liu Qingshan sang the most majestic voice:

   "A laugh in the sea, surging tides on both sides of the strait"

   "Floating with the waves, only remembering the present..."

  Everyone just felt the pride in their chests, and they all let go of their voices, and sang together:

  "The common people smile, no longer lonely, but the pride is still smiling foolishly"

   "La la la la la la..."

  Amidst the singing, the aircraft carrier, which has been under construction for several years at the Nikolayev Shipyard, finally embarked on its first voyage.

  Standing on the high deck, Li Tie held Vera's hand tightly. His face was still stern, but his eyes were extremely blazing.

  As a former soldier, I certainly have a great desire for an aircraft carrier.

   And right now, this wish has finally come true, and he is willing to use his life to wait for all of this.

  Vera's face was also filled with happiness. After obtaining General Vasily's consent, she also joined Liu Qingshan's team.

  Vera is very talented in languages, and she also majored in foreign languages ​​at university. Such a talent is most suitable to be a translator or assistant beside Liu Qingshan.

   It just so happens that Li Tie is also Liu Qingshan's personal bodyguard, and the two in love don't have to separate.

   Wait until the aircraft carrier leaves the dock, the front tugboat starts to accelerate.

  The hired tugboats and sailors, etc. are also a lot of expenses.

   In addition, there are fuel consumption and material replenishment along the way. Added together, the cost is no less than buying an aircraft carrier. Most people really can’t afford such a big guy.

  Everyone waited and watched on the deck for a while, and the sun was getting a bit dazzling, so people were left to take turns guarding the conning tower, and the others went to the cabin below to rest.

   There are basically thousands of staff members on an aircraft carrier. Now Liu Qingshan and the others have more than 100 people, and a few rooms are enough for one person to sleep.

  In addition, the cabins of the aircraft carrier are fully equipped with food and drink, including entertainment rooms, etc. Everyone living in it is not lonely.

   At night, Liu Qingshan found that Li Tie was still in the same room as Li Tieniu, and reminded him with a smile:

   "Tiezi, you should go to accompany Vera, not Tieniu."

   Li Tie said: "We respect each other, everything will wait until we get married."

  Liu Qingshan also knew Li Tie's temper, and he did what he said, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

  Li Tieniu is also a person who came here, hey hey twice: "Tiezi, don't endure too hard, if you can't bear it, you don't need to bear it anymore, hehehe."

   "I can't help it now, let's go, let's go to the gym to practice."

   Li Tie took Li Tieniu and left. Soon, there was the sound of fighting in the gym. It is estimated that Li Tieniu must have been repaired badly this time.

   When crossing the Black Sea, the weather was calm and extremely smooth.

   On this day, the fleet finally came to the Bosporus Strait. The entire narrow strait is composed of three parts. It is the only outlet of the Black Sea and is known as the "throat of the world".

   In the waters at the entrance of the strait, several warships waited quietly there.

  The throat of the world is of course the easiest to get stuck.
