Text 0627 is like a bombardment

Scavengers in the dark night

Bang!

The sound of the heavy hammer announces that Lot No. 14 has not been auctioned.

As the 9th unsold treasure in this auction after the 13th, neither the master of ceremonies nor the guests will be surprised anymore.

The next one was on the fifteenth, and Lorraine vaguely remembered that it was a certain mural from the Mayan civilization.

Did the Maya paint murals too? Probably painted.

Lorraine couldn't guess how the friendly Spaniards delivered some warm blankets to the natives in the process of obtaining this mural, and he didn't want to interpret the splashes of history.

Anyway, the Maya are almost dead as a civilization. White people will not be sentimental for them, and poor ghosts have no spare money to place orders.

Lorraine rolled his eyes surreptitiously.

In order to seize the furious design drawings, he has pledged all the cash, ancient gold tools and high-value borrowed loans. Now he is truly penniless.

How long has this feeling been?

The impression seems to go all the way back to when Shaq was expelled from the house, when Tavistock got on the carriage to Plymouth.

Was it 15 years old? Are you still 16 years old?

"Little Drake!" Dukov knocked on the coffee table dissatisfiedly. "Should you keep your full attention when talking to your elders? Even if you are out of wandering things, you should be wandering quietly!"

"Ah? Sorry." Lorraine came back to his senses. "I just thought of the next lot, and I was distracted. But then again, shouldn't you first review the boring Russian jokes that were only popular in the 17th century? Very boring!"

"I grew up listening to these boring jokes on the farm!" Dukov let out a thick smoke. "And don't change the subject, little Drake. Russia is determined to win the rage, so give me a price now. Then give me a week..."

"Please talk to my client about this matter." Lorraine shrugged, "As the client's agent, I have no right to lend others' things."

"Then tell me who your client is?"

"No comment."

Blue veins popped up on Dukov's forehead: "As everyone knows, the little guy, Drake has friends in the United Kingdom, the United States, Spain and even France who are beyond business relations. There is no hint that I can only rule out France. There is no answer to this puzzle! "

"But that's your business, old guy. The complexity of communication was originally one of the reasons Drake was selected."

"Really not accommodating?"

"Honesty, sir, unless your asking price exceeds Drake's honesty value, don't talk about it."

Old Dukov sighed at once: "Buy the integrity of Drake... Russia can't afford so much money."

"I guess so……"

With a dark face, Hamilton listened to the old and the young killing each other in love, until the decisive battle came to an end, and he slammed his drink.

"Lorraine Drake, reason! Why do you have to entertain your friends in my box! Can't your own box work? Or this gentleman's box..."

"This gentleman is a Russian maritime legend." Lorraine pointed to the old Dukov's face. "I set sail at the age of 12 and joined the pirate ship at the age of 15. At the age of 16, he robbed a merchant ship with the regiment at the age of 16, and met his lover in the hostages. Ms. Josephine."

"Incidentally, Ms. Josephine is a close cousin of today's Catherine the Great. Of course, when she met the old Dukov, she was just the daughter of a downtrodden nobleman, insignificant except for her beauty."

"Old Dukov overthrew his captain for the sake of Ms. Josephine, brought pirates loyal to him ashore, and got a Prussian privateer permit under the recommendation of another noble gentleman he rescued. He started from scratch to Wealth and welcoming relatives, and now look at Russia’s leading position and financial resources..."

Speaking of this, Lorraine made a subtle pause and looked at Hamilton.

"As one of the few top chaebols in this world who is truly not controlled by the nobles, and loves your revolving door plan as much as I do, I thought you would happily accept my kindness."

"Am I wrong, Alexander?"

Hamilton was dumbfounded, and the moment of dementia was firmly grasped by the old and cunning Dukov.

The rare rich man in the world laughed presumptuously like a child, and stomped his feet on the coffee table.

"I said that girl Xavier was clearly in box 7, how could you meet me in box 30. It turned out that this young gentleman was General Washington's interim secretary of finance, Mr. Hamilton who proposed the revolving door and the dollar plan! People! Don't show your face!"

He took two deep breaths and calmed his breath: "Minister Hamilton, when we meet for the first time, I am Gregorian Dukov, the chairman and current chairman of the Dukov Chamber of Commerce."

"Little Drake once introduced us to your revolving door and dollar plan, and the association council agreed that they are the most talented economic plan in the world, and they are full of respect for businessmen. I am very interested in them."

Hamilton? looked at Lorraine from a different place.

Lorraine gave a smirk: "No thanks, courtesy."

Hamilton caught Lorraine's central idea in an instant. In the previous bridge loan, Hamilton gave up all the proposals that benefited him personally and chose to maximize the benefits for the country.

On the one hand, Lorraine accepted his opinion, and on the other hand, he gave him a personal gift of gratitude that was of special significance to him, which was this affair with Dukov.

The significance of this affair to Hamilton can be large or small, especially Lorraine took the initiative to lead the topic to the revolving door plan that entrusted Hamilton's entire political report. Dukov also made it clear that he was interested in the revolving door.

Hamilton cleared his throat and calmed himself down with this little gesture.

"President Dukov, I have long admired the name. I am Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton, a member of the Confederate Assembly, and the minister of the Confederate Interim Finance Department." He said, "You just said that you are very interested in the revolving door?"

"The term interested is probably not accurate." Dukov thought for a while, "Did Drake not tell you? Your plan is excellent, but it has caused a lot of trouble to Baishang Associated Press."

"Distress?" Hamilton found Lorraine's eyes in a puzzled way. "Lorraine didn't say anything. I wonder what trouble you said?"

"I heard that your planned first bank of the United States has a design capital of 10 million pounds, and the association has allocated 40% of it, which is 4 million pounds, Drake 1 million, and the remaining chambers of commerce totaled 3 million."

Hamilton felt tight: "President Dukov, this number is not mandatory, that..."

"Too little!"

"Less?" Hamilton's explanation was swallowed into his throat, choking his lungs so that he almost coughed up, "Sorry, you just said...Less?"

"Yes, too little!" Dukov waved his big hand. "We understand that you want to maintain the political balance between the First Bank and the Mint Committee in the future, but Baishang Associated Press is a multinational business organization, our members, and even members of the board of directors. There is only a loose business partnership. As you can see today, in order to compete for rage, Drake and I never thought of showing mercy to our men."

"You should relax the shareholding restrictions on us! To put it bluntly, compared to those American consortiums that have supported the European aristocracy, our strength is stronger and our connection with politics is weaker!"

This is a super development that Hamilton hadn't considered at all.

In order to promote his revolving door plan, he also started the US dollar minting as soon as possible. After leaving Miami last year, he began to purposefully lobby the consortiums and forces he fancy.

However, the results of lobbying are not optimistic.

Lorraine once said that the United States could not raise 5 million pounds of equity, but in fact, Hamilton's promise was less than 2 million.

The US consortium is generally not optimistic about the profit prospects of the revolving door, and is also full of doubts about Hamilton's debt replacement plan and the future of the dollar.

This is an inevitable conflict between advanced financial thinking and current capital operation methods. Hamilton thought there was no room for resolution. Who knows...

He thanked Lorraine with a look: "President Dukov, are you optimistic about the revolving door plan?"

"It's not me, it's us." Dukov solemnly said, "Although the Baishang Associated Press was established less than 10 years ago, it has become the world's richest and perhaps one of the most powerful business organizations."

"We firmly believe that businessmen can take on more important social responsibilities, have greater influence in civilization and order, and deserve more respect."

"These are the wishes and creeds of all our members, but in Europe, the center of civilization, these wishes are obviously unrealistic."

"France is experiencing the worst economic dilemma in nearly a hundred years. Their emperor is preparing to reopen the three-tier parliament to allow capitalists to join the country's rule. Our colleagues and the French members of the Association are very excited about this. Me, Drake, and a few other friends were pessimistic about this."

"Because this kind of thing is not the first time in European history. The king and his nobles only fancy the gold in our hands, but have no intention of sharing rights with us."

"Even if my wife is the emperor's most trusted best friend, even if Drake is born in a great family like Tavistock, we still don't get real respect."

"The United States is different!" Dukov clenched his fists, his face full of beards like a lion, "We see the respect from your revolving door and the dollar plan, and the invitation. Even if that's not what you meant. , But you accepted Drake's proposal, this is your plan!"

"We are willing to support you, to be your partner, to play a role in the economic revitalization of the United States, and to make profits. You should also cherish our trust and give us more shares!"

Hamilton was very moved, and when he was moved, he couldn't help but be wary: "What are you talking about more?"

"We hope that there is no upper limit on the share of associations!" Dukov is domineering. "Now the revolving door and the dollar plan are only known from the association council and the limited dozen chambers of commerce that we have negotiated. The total number does not exceed 30, but With the addition of Drake, our intention is close to 6 million pounds!"

"You can even give us the right to operate Bank One! We have absolute confidence to provide all 10 million equity, and we are confident to **** the economic take-off of the United States!"

Didn’t that leave the lifeblood of the entire United States to your group of foreign chambers of commerce?

The central government has lost control of the national bank and currency issuance. How could the United States agree to such a ridiculous proposal!

The alarm bell in Hamilton's heart rang, and he said quickly: "President Dukov! Your kindness touched me, but... five million pounds have already been raised!"

"Already 5 million?" Dukov couldn't hide his regret. "In other words, we can only increase our share to 50% at most?"

"To be precise, it is 48.6%. The total amount of funds raised is 5.14 million. Maybe we can have more in-depth cooperation when we raise funds in the future!" Hamilton did not change his face and his heart beat.

"Only 4.86 million..." Dukov sighed, "It seems that this time, the news can't be expanded..."

"Yeah... sorry...hahahaha..."

In this way, ~lightnovelpub.net~ the kindness of Baishang Associated Press was accepted.

Hamilton left the coffee table to Lorraine and Dukov to reminisce about the past. When he left, Lorraine clearly felt the prostration of the rest of his life from him.

When he walked a little further, Lorraine grumbled at Dukov with dissatisfaction: "Old man, you are as impatient as ever."

"What do the little things know? Only bravery in this world can reap huge profits!"

"Hey! Alexander can't raise 5 million under normal development. As I said earlier, we should continue to slightly exert pressure on the United States to keep them from making concessions to other consortia while constantly reminding us of our existence. Wait until the arrow is on the line. At the time, they had no choice but us."

"It's not in my style at all to cringe."

Uh...

Old Dukov hung his cigar arrogantly.

"486 million, get rid of your 1 million, the rest seems to need..."

Lorraine suddenly opened his hand to make him shut his mouth, frowning, seemingly puzzled.

Dukov's speech was cut off, and he couldn't help asking strangely: "How..."

"Did you hear a strange noise, old man?"

"Weird sound?"

"It's just like……"

boom!

There was a sudden roar, and a bright red shell blasted the echo wall of the stage, smashed half of the stage, and blew up the emcee on stage and Lot 16 together.

The fire is burning!

Lorraine looked stupid as if watching the emcee flew past his eyes with a **** tail like a shooting star, and he stuck to the wall with a sound, and it took five seconds to complete the disconnection and reconnection of his mind.

"It's like... shelling?"
