Text 0625 Back to Back

12:05, Pier 17.

The wind is very strong, and the waves are also very strong, but the wind and waves have nothing to do with Valkyrie.

Pier 17 has the best wind shelter conditions in the entire Wairost.

Two ridges extending to the sea separate it from the No. 16 and No. 18 piers on the left, and embrace it deeply in the middle.

The 270-meter-long wind-reducing zone and the average water depth of 12 meters or more make it a pocket-sized deep-water port. Even in such severe weather, the port can still be generally calm.

Rumbling rumbling...

The west is thundering.

Bell closed his pocket watch with a snap and glanced at the clouded sky weirdly.

"This Thunder is a bit weird, right?"

"I think too." Yacharin walked out of the cabin and looked at the direction of thunder. "Should there be 20 minutes before and after?"

"18 minutes." Bell Yang raised the pocket watch in his hand, "but neither lightning nor thunderclouds were found."

"Perhaps the explosion is far away, right?" Wang also came out, stretching his arms to move his body.

Bell and Yacharinzi shook their heads together.

"no?"

"On the contrary, it's very close, and it's scary." Yacharin frowned. "If I couldn't find the smoke from looking at it, I would even think it was the sound of a naval gun."

"Huh?" Wang Ye? sighed in a different place, "What about naval guns?"

Bell pulled out the chart from the bow box and swiped it to open it: "For naval guns, it can only be pier 1. But the wharves in Waidust are wooden buildings, and the location is close to the jungle. If there are warships bombarding the land. , It will catch fire, it will start a big fire."

Wang couldn't help but roll his eyes: "This method of judgment is too..."

Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly scanned the watchman who was jumping in the air.

"Really, it seems that we thanked God for the existence of this ridge of refuge last night... Isn't there a more reliable standard of judgment?"

"I have dispatched the Scarlet Maple Leaf. At her speed, I will be able to tell us what happened to Pier 1 in about 15 minutes."

"The Scarlet Maple Leaf..."

Taking into account the needs of Lorraine, Valkyrie abandoned the standard six assault boats in the design and adopted two special configurations.

Both small boats are 5m long boats with sharp-bottomed oars. The raised bow and stern are a bit like Viking long boats, but in their bones they are still ordinary people-powered assault boats.

The two are 15-meter Bermuda Slope transformed into detachable masts, with green dewdrops and blood-colored maple leaves.

Among them, Scarlet Maple Leaf is a newly built ship with a top speed of over 20 knots. It is the fastest and most reliable ship for investigation and communication on Valkyrie.

Wang also clearly felt Bell's anxiety: "Captain and they haven't come back yet?"

"Yesterday's auction lasted 3 hours and 17 minutes, the longest night, and the Fury appeared today. Even if it takes 4 hours, it is normal."

"We will leave the island after the furious auction is over, right?"

"Well, no matter whether we have to shoot or not, we will leave the island after furious. Those pirates have not shown a trace until now. I discussed with Lorraine yesterday and he also said that we must not wait until the end of the conference and let those guys wait for work."

"If we leave the island soon..." Wang also pondered for a while, "I think we can pull up the anchor first, so..."

Yacharin suddenly squeezed Bell and Wang Ye's hands: "The thunder has changed!"

Bell looked tight, and hurriedly pricked his ears to listen.

The thunder sound changed. It used to be far away in the sky, like a muffled cloud, but now it suddenly mixed into the sporadic and close roar, intermittently, like a heavy hammer, hitting the person's chest.

"The Scarlet Maple Leaf!" the three screamed in unison.

At the same time, the lookout above his head hissed loudly: "The Scarlet Maple Leaf is home!!! Location Baykou!"

"God, someone is chasing her! It's shelling! Enemy attack!!!"

boom!

Thick smoke, rising from the direction of Pier No. 1...

...

"260,000!" The master of ceremonies screamed hoarsely, "No. 2, No. 7 and No. 16 lights up at the same time, 260,000! Master Renisho's auction debut is 260,000, and the group painting is 260,000!"

"This auction will go down in history! The greatest painter after Leonardo da Vinci... No! A painter greater than Leonardo Da Vinci was born! It is hard to imagine that this is Ibias. It is the first time Mr. Renisho has landed at an international-level auction. How high will Xiang Hai's final sale be? Let's wait and see!"

"The next auction..."

Carmen gritted his teeth tightly.

Drake's funds have bottomed out, and the money left in his hands can only be used to support the light up again, and Lorraine has not returned good news so far.

There are auction rules for auctions, especially secret auctions. Once the master of ceremonies breaks, Drake will announce that Drake abstained.

Although it is not impossible to re-enter the war, doing so is tantamount to trampling on etiquette. It is not only rude to the emcee and competitors, but also a denial of Drake's integrity.

In the final analysis, social networking is etiquette, etiquette is the rule. In a civilized world that lacks rules and restrictions, the upper class pays particular attention to the conventions of the social field, because this is the absolute core of their self-proclaimed nobleness, which is different from the inferior civilians and barbarians.

Rule-breakers will be expelled and violated. Once they are publicized, Drake will pay an immeasurable price.

So, will anyone publicize it?

Carmen's mind turned quickly.

Seeger’s people have proved that the privacy protection of the Morgan Chamber of Commerce is the king’s new clothes, but even if they are naked, they are still secretly photographed.

The anger of No. 2 and No. 16 is a risk that can be taken, because their publicity is "speculation", and Drake's public relations can probably resist denial.

What really worries Carmen is the organizer, the Morgan Chamber of Commerce.

Maritime Group is the largest and most difficult competitor in the shipbuilding industry of the JPMorgan Chamber of Commerce. Compared with Maritime Group, Morgan has collapsed across the board in shipbuilding and marketing, and there is no room for turning defeat into victory.

Abandoning the shooting and re-holding will allow Morgan to get hold of the handle. In order to seal Morgan's mouth, the Maritime Group may have to withdraw from Boston and even the entire northern United States. If not, Drake is likely to lose more.

Then again, would Morgan use this handle to blackmail Drake?

Will!

The essence of commercial competition is the balance of interests. Exposure of the bidder's privacy by the organizer will certainly damage the image of the Sanctuary Villa auction, but the Morgan Chamber of Commerce is obviously more profitable in the shipbuilding industry, and no one will hesitate.

"The price is too great..."

The auction entered a new round, and Carmen murmured a yellow light, and swiftly raised the price of the design of the Fury to 263,000 pounds.

"Probably, this is the end..."

"Free! Free! Bidding! Price!" The emcee's scream completely covered up Carmen's voice, "263,000 pounds, box 2 has proposed free bidding, and the auction has been suspended!!!"

Carmen shook slightly, dropped the cover, and sat back on the sofa wearily.

Sig looked at her thoughtfully: "Escaped?"

"It's more appropriate to say that it's more appropriate to linger." Carmen took a breath and found Henna reluctantly. "Yesra, boat... how long has Lorraine been out?"

"10 minutes." Hannah walked out of the shadows and put a glass of clear water in front of Carmen with a chuckle. "There is no sound on the stairs. I guess Lorraine will take some time."

"I hope this point can be shorter..." Carmen held up the cup and sipped, "The last free bid on the 2nd took 3 minutes. This time is likely to be his last blow. It won't be long, it will only be more... …"

"Hush!" Henna suddenly pressed Carmen's lips, frowning and listening.

The whole box was quiet in an instant.

They don't have Hina's in-depth hearing, and they are unable to hear the outside through the door with excellent sound insulation, but under the atmosphere, everyone feels that something is approaching.

Bang!

Edley slammed open the door and couldn't even catch his breath: "Ms. Xavier! 400,000! The chairman asked me to tell you that your current budget is 400,000!"

"400,000..." Carmen couldn't believe his ears, "In other words, plus the round trip, the captain borrowed 140,000 pounds from the Americans in only 10 minutes?"

"It's 150,000." Edley corrected excitedly. "The total amount of this loan is 150,000."

"Interest?"

"15% off the next navy order."

In the blink of an eye, Carmen got the answer of the so-called 15% off: "The interest of seventy to one hundred and fifty thousand pounds, he really did a great deal...but fortunately, he can finally fight!"

The bidding for Box 2 is over.

The emcee held the fluttering note in his hand like a holy thing, and opened it tremblingly.

"Three...320,000 pounds! God, the second box has an additional price of 57,000 pounds! Master Renishaw’s photo poster price is 320,000! There are even higher..."

"350,000!"

The clear and confident female voice suddenly spread throughout the audience. Carmen Tingting stood in the middle of the box, holding on to the guardrail, with red and yellow lights shining on the left and right.

Red and yellow are the lights of free bidding, but in four consecutive auctions, this is the first time someone has skipped the delivery of quotations and directly shouted out their own quotations, just like traditional auctions.

The emcee stood in the center of the stage, holding a note of 320,000 gold pounds like a holy relic, and actually forgot to respond to Carmen's offer in the first place.

350,000, can the organizer accept this offer with other bidders?

The answer is obvious.

Carmen’s [350,000] had just landed, and the box 2 not far away immediately responded with a rough and low tongue.

"360,000! Is it the little girl from the Drake Chamber of Commerce?"

"Manager Xavier or Miss Carmen, President Dukov, or do you want me to call you old guy? 370,000!"

"380,000! Little girl ~lightnovelpub.net~ no matter how aggressive, little Drake will follow Assassin."

"That's a matter between young people, Mr. Chairman, worry about it! 390,000!"

"400,000!" Old Dukov burst into a burst of laughter like a bronze bell. "There are 362 presidents waiting to attend Drake's wedding banquet. Europe will see the power of capitalists there! How can such a prosperous age endure? Don't do it until I die?"

Carmen almost crushed her silver teeth.

Dukov’s quotation was too fast and too decisive. The humming sound was the same as Carmen’s words. It was to use unreasonable means to build confidence and surplus, so that his opponents would retreat.

The good swimmer is drowning!

Lorraine’s hint to Carmen has been broken by Dukov, and Drake has only the last ten thousand in his hands, but can this ten thousand really crush Dukov?

Carmen doubted deeply.

She hesitated, and in a hesitation, she suddenly felt something against her back.

Hina stood silently behind her, with her back pressed against her back, her legs close to her legs, light and shadow drawn a line of light and dark between the two of them, just like the countless days and nights before, they stood firmly in Lorraine. By your side, unwavering.

"410,000!" Carmen said loudly, "Old guy, this is my last offer. If you bring more, Xianghai is yours!"

silence……

The emcee waved the hammer on the stage like crazy, once or twice, under the noise of the trembling eardrum, the venue fell into inexplicable silence and tranquility.

People even heard old Dukov's sigh.

"Baltic... This time, Drake won again..."

Scavengers in the dark night
