Chapter 626

12:05, pier 17.

The wind was strong and the waves were strong, but the waves had nothing to do with valkiri.

Pier 17 has the best sheltering conditions in the whole waijuster.

Two ridges extending to the sea cut it off from the adjacent docks 16 and 18 on the left, deeply surrounded in the middle.

The 270 meter long wind reduction zone and the average water depth of more than 12 meters make it a pocket deep-water port. Even in such bad weather, the port can still ensure general calm.

Boom, boom

Western thunder.

Bell snapped his pocket watch and looked strangely at the broken cloud covered sky.

"Is this thunder a little strange?"

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

"18 minutes." bell raised his pocket watch. "However, neither lightning nor thunder clouds were observed."

"Maybe it's far away?" Wang also came out and stretched his arms to move his body.

Bell and acharinzizi shook their heads.

"No?"

"On the contrary, it's very close and frightening." acharin frowned. "If I hadn't been able to find the smoke of gunpowder all the time, I would even think it was the sound of naval guns."

"Ah?" Wang also sighed, "what about the naval gun?"

Bell drew a picture of the sea from the box in the bow of the ship, brushed it and opened it: "if the naval gun is used, it can only be Pier 1. But the docks in waijuster are wooden buildings and close to the jungle. If a warship bombards the land, it will catch fire."

Wang couldn't help rolling his eyes: "this judgment method is too..."

In the middle of his words, he suddenly caught the watchman jumping in mid air.

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

"I have sent out the bloody maple leaf. At her speed, I can tell us what happened at Pier 1 in about 15 minutes."

"Blood maple leaf..."

Considering the needs of Lorraine, valkiri abandoned the standard configuration of six submachine boats and adopted the special configuration of two large and two small.

The two small boats are long boats with 5-meter sharp bottom paddles. The cocked bow and stern are somewhat like Viking long boats, but they are still ordinary human powered assault boats in their bones.

The two are 15 meter Bermuda slupp transformed into a detachable mast, with green dew and blood maple leaves.

Blood maple leaf is a newly built ship, with a maximum speed of more than 20 knots. It is the fastest and most reliable reconnaissance and communication ship on valkiri.

Wang also clearly felt Bell's uneasiness: "Captain, haven't they come back?"

"Yesterday's auction took the longest night, lasting 3 hours and 17 minutes. Today, there is fury. Even if it takes 4 hours, it is normal."

"Shall we leave the island after the furious auction?"

"Well, whether we have to shoot or not, we left the island after the rage. The pirates haven't shown any trace up to now. I discussed with Lorraine yesterday. 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 moment, "I think we can pull up the anchor first, so..."

Acharin suddenly pinched bell and Wang Ye's hands: "the thunder has changed!"

Bell looked tight and quickly pricked up his ears.

The thunder changed. Previously, it was far away in the sky, like a stuffy cloud, but now it suddenly mixed with sporadic and very close roar, which hit people's chest intermittently like a heavy hammer.

"Bloody maple leaf!" the three shouted in unison.

At the same time, the lookout on the top of his head shouted: "the bloody maple leaf is heading home!!!!!! position at the mouth of the bay!"

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

Boom!

Thick smoke, rising from the direction of Pier 1

……

"260000!" the emcee screamed, "lights on No. 2, No. 7 and No. 16 at the same time, 260000! Master renisso's first auction show is 260000, and the group paintings are 260000 to the sea!"

"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's hard to imagine that this is the first time Mr. Ibias renisso has landed at an international level auction. How high will the final transaction to the sea be? Let's wait and see!"

"The next auction..."

Carmen clenched his teeth.

Drake's money has bottomed out. The money left in his hand can only support the light again, and Lorraine has not sent back good news so far.

Auction has auction rules, especially secret auction. Once the auction is broken, the MC will announce Drake's abstention.

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

In the final analysis, social intercourse is etiquette and etiquette is the rule. In the civilized world without rules, the upper class society pays special attention to the conventions of the social field, because this is the absolute core that they claim to be noble, different from the lower civilians and barbarians.

The destroyer of the rules will be expelled and violated. Once publicized by people with intentions, Drake will pay an incalculable price.

So, will anyone hype it?

Carmen's brain is spinning fast.

SIG's people have proved that the privacy protection of the Morgan chamber of commerce is the king's new clothes, but even naked, it's still dark.

The anger of No. 2 and No. 16 is a risk that can be borne, because their propaganda is "speculation", and Drake's public relations can resist it.

What really worries Carmen is the organizer Morgan chamber of Commerce.

Maritime group is the largest and most difficult competitor in the shipbuilding industry of Morgan chamber of Commerce. Compared with maritime group, Morgan has failed in shipbuilding and marketing, and there is no room to turn defeat into victory.

If Morgan wants to seal Morgan's mouth, maritime group may withdraw from Boston and even the whole northern United States. If it doesn't, Drake is likely to lose more.

Then, will Morgan use this handle to coerce Drake?

Definitely, I will!

The essence of commercial competition is the balance of interests. Exposing the bidder's privacy by the organizer will certainly damage the image of the asylum villa auction, but Morgan chamber of Commerce will obviously make more profits in the shipbuilding industry, and no one will hesitate.

"The price is too high..."

As the auction entered a new round, Carmen murmured and lit the yellow light, which raised the price of the fury design to ￡ 263000.

"Probably, this is the last..."

"From! From! To! Bid! Price!" Carmen's voice was completely covered up by the sharp cry of the master of ceremonies. "263000 pounds, box 2 has put forward free bidding, and the auction is suspended!!!"

Carmen shook slightly, dropped the shield and sat back on the sofa tired.

Seager looked at her thoughtfully: "escaped?"

"It's more appropriate to stay alive." Carmen took a breath and reluctantly found Haina. "Yesla, ship... How long has Lorraine been out?"

"Ten minutes." Haina walked out of the shadow and put a glass of water in front of Carmen. "There's no sound on the stairs. I guess Lorraine needs some time."

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

"Shh!" Hannah suddenly pressed Carmen's lips, frowned and listened.

The whole box was quiet in an instant.

They didn't have Haina's meticulous hearing and couldn't hear outside through the soundproof door, but under the atmosphere, everyone felt as if something was approaching.

Boom!

Edre knocked open the door and couldn't even breathe: "Ms. Xavier! 400000! The chairman asked me to tell you that your current budget is 400000!"

"400000..." Carmen couldn't believe his ears. "That is to say, with the round trip, the captain borrowed 140000 pounds from the Americans in only 10 minutes?"

"It's 150000," edley corrected excitedly. "The total amount of this loan is 150000."

"Interest?"

"The next Navy order is 15% off."

Carmen got the so-called 15% discount in the blink of an eye: "he really did a great business with an interest of 70000 to 150000 pounds... But fortunately, he was able to fight at last!"

The bidding for box 2 is over.

The master of ceremonies held the light note in his hand like a sacred object and opened it tremblingly.

"Three... 320000 pounds! God, the price of box 2 is increased by 57000 pounds! Master renisso's group pictures offer 320000 to the sea! There are higher..."

"350000!"

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

Red and yellow are the light signals for free bidding, but this is the first time that someone has skipped the delivery of the quotation and directly shouted out his own quotation with his mouth, just like the traditional auction.

The emcee stood in the center of the stage, holding a piece of paper with a sacred symbol of 320000 pounds, and forgot to respond to Carmen's offer at the first time.

350000. Does the organizer agree that other bidders can make this offer?

The answer is obvious.

Carmen's [350000] just landed, and box 2 not far away immediately responded with a rough and low tongue.

"360000! Is it the little girl of Drake chamber of Commerce?"

"Manager Xavier or miss Carmen, President dukov, or do you want me to call you old guy? 370000!"

"380000! Little girl, if you are so aggressive, little Drake will run with girl asasin."

"That's a matter between young people. Don't bother Mr. President! 390000!"

"400000!" old dukov burst out a copper bell like laughter. "There are 362 presidents waiting to attend little Drake's wedding banquet. Europe will see the power of capitalists there! How can I wait until I die in this prosperous age?"

Carmen almost broke his silver teeth.

Dukov's offer was too fast and decisive. The sound of Xiong Ming was no different from Carmen's diction, that is, he used unreasonable means to shape confidence and surplus, so that his opponent could retreat in the face of difficulties.

Good swimmers drown!

Lorraine's hint to Carmen has been broken by dukov. Drake has only the last ten thousand left, but can these ten thousand really crush dukov?

Carmen was deeply suspicious.

She hesitated. During the hesitation, she suddenly felt something against her back.

Haina stood behind her silently, her back against her back, her legs next to her legs, and the light and shadow drew a bright and dark line between them. Just like countless previous days and nights, they stood firmly beside Lorraine.

"410000!" Carmen said loudly, "old man, this is my last offer. If you bring more, Xianghai is yours!"

Silence

The master of ceremonies waved his hammer on the stage like crazy. Once or twice, under the noise of trembling eardrums, the venue fell into inexplicable silence and silence.

People even heard old dukov's sigh.

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