Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 273

This is Dagan's first ever bidding event, and a first for this world.

It is said that it is a bidding, but in fact, the rules and procedures are very different from the real bidding activities that Li Changfeng knew in his previous life. The bidders’ on-site quotations have no confidentiality at all, and it is more like an auction.

This was done deliberately by Li Changfeng in order to control everything.

Earning more and earning less is their own choice. When the quality of the project is reached, he will set up a supervision agency, and anyone who dares to fail to meet the standards will be punished.

He was even ready to chop off a few heads.

In this matter, there is no possibility of getting away with it.

Feng Quji, the head of the civil servants, Ye Qingcang, the military representative, the six ministers, Yushitai... Almost all the court officials came, and many private wealthy businessmen also came to the scene, which crowded the hall on the first floor of Dian Dude den den.

Li Changfeng presided over it himself.

"Everyone, the bidding is open today. This prince promises not to favor anyone, including this prince himself. Everyone can rest assured and boldly participate in the bidding."

With a smile on his face, Li Changfeng glanced at Feng Quji and Ye Qingcang after speaking.

The biggest role of the two of them is to give Li Changfeng a platform, and now it's time to play their role.

Ye Qingcang made a gesture of invitation to Feng Quji. Feng Quji bowed slightly to express his thanks, and then stood up first.

"The old man supervises it personally, everyone can rest assured that there will be no problems, just follow the procedures."

After speaking, he sat down, and then Ye Qingcang stood up.

Ye Qingcang's speech was not so gentle, and he said coldly with a sullen face: "I will put the words first, who dares to make small moves behind, don't blame the old man for being rude!"

Talk quickly, do what you say, and follow his usual style of doing things

Those who participate in the bidding have joys and sorrows.

The good news is that everyone has a fair chance to compete.

The worry is, Ye Qingcang's words are not just kidding, he can really kill people.

Li Changfeng smiled slightly: "Okay, the first tender, the railway construction project one hundred miles north of the imperial palace, the project requirements, I think everyone has read it, but I need to reiterate it again..."

Li Changfeng took the trouble to introduce it in detail again.

This is the first bidding section of the Dagan Railway, and it is also a section for the people of the world and Emperor Qianwu to see the results. Its importance is self-evident.

Those involved in the bidding also understand this.

Close to the palace, Emperor Qianwu can see it at any time, whoever takes on this project and does a good job will be in the eyes of Emperor Qianwu.

This is very beneficial to their future career.

Therefore, the competition for this lot was very fierce, and finally it was taken by the younger brother of Gu Tiancheng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, at a very low price.

Li Changfeng could understand Gu Tiancheng's thoughts.

As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he was aggrieved for not playing a leading role in the construction of such a large-scale project. It would be too shameful if he didn't win back the most important part.

Next is the construction project of the Beijing Railway Station, and the competition is fierce.

Shangguan Feiyun's obese body filled the entire chair. He looked at Li Changfeng with a faint smile on his face, and exchanged a few words with the people around him from time to time.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that the last bidding item, the rail supply, came.

Although the previous bidding had been completed, almost no one left, obviously wanting to see the contest between Shangguan's family and Li Changfeng on this matter.

"Okay, in the end, because my prince participated in this project, I won't host it. Please ask old Prime Minister Feng Quji to do it for you."

Li Changfeng withdrew and Feng Qujiu took the stage.

He smiled slightly at the crowd and said: "Okay, let's not talk nonsense, there are only two applicants for bidding, namely His Royal Highness Ninth Prince and Shangguan's family, let's start bidding directly."

As soon as the voice fell, the scene immediately fell silent.

The main event is coming!
All eyes were on Shangguan Feiyun.

The smile on Shangguan Feiyun's face became more friendly, he stood up and bowed his hands to the crowd, then saluted Li Changfeng, and said, "80 taels!"

Hearing this number, the knowledgeable people at the scene nodded secretly and whispered to the people around them, saying that this number is reasonable.

Not too high, not too low, profitable and room for bargaining.

Then everyone looked at Li Changfeng, wondering what price he would quote.

Li Changfeng looked indifferent, and said to Zhang Haihui beside him: "No matter what price they offer, we will be 5 taels lower than him."

When he said this, he didn't shy away from it at all. Almost everyone heard it, and their nerves tensed up.

This is tough!

One represents the royal family and the other represents the aristocratic family. Is this going to war?

People's minds are different.

Shangguan Yunfei also heard Li Changfeng's words, and his smile became a bit far-fetched.

Zhang Haihui glanced at him coldly.

"75 taels!"

Shangguan Yunfei twitched his face and quoted another price.

"74 taels!"

Zhang Haihui sneered: "The Shangguan family is nothing more than that, 69 taels!"

Shangguan Yunfei's smile subsided slightly: "68 taels!"

"Hmph!" Zhang Haihui snorted coldly, without concealing the contempt in his eyes, and said loudly, "63 taels!"

At this moment, Shangguan Yunfei could no longer maintain the smile on his face, and gave Li Changfeng a blank look.

When the project was publicized, he summoned the best ironsmiths in the family to analyze it according to the published material requirements.

With their forging technology, counting labor, etc., the cost can be reduced to 65 taels, and the price of 80 is to have room for negotiation.

The base price in their hearts is 70 taels.

It doesn't matter if you earn less, the main reason is to participate in this project to show the strength of their family.

Of course, the head of the family also gave privileges. Depending on the situation, the family can choose not to make money, or even lose money.

But Li Changfeng's performance was too strong.

Now that he was losing money, Shangguan Yunfei hesitated whether to continue.

At this moment, Zhang Haihui provocatively said: "What? Are the Shangguan family afraid to follow?"

Li Changfeng also looked at Shangguan Yunfei playfully.

Shangguan Yunfei chuckled dryly and said, "It's not a matter of daring or not. Now that the price is no longer profitable, I have to think about it."

The knowledgeable people at the scene also chatted quietly at this time.

"The five-hundred-mile railway track has such high requirements for steel materials. There is no money to be made here, and it is simply a loss!"

"It seems that His Highness the Ninth Prince has no intention of making money, but wants to wrestle with the Shangguan family!"

"Hush! Just know it in your heart, don't say it out loud."

"..."

Zhang Haihui said impatiently: "Stop talking so much nonsense, just say follow or not!"

Shangguan Yunfei's face was a bit ugly, he thought for a while and said, "62 taels!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Haihui shouted without any thought, "57 taels!"

Then he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

"Come on, continue!"

Shangguan Yunfei twitched his face, and said with a dry smile: "No, our Shangguan family will not do this kind of loss-making business."
