The Last Mecha

Chapter 172 Auction ([-])

In the 40 years since Lawrence opened, there has never been a situation like today.

The auctioneer who increased the price halfway, 4 yuan is such a small sum, to buy a machine for medical treatment, or a first-release test product, are you kidding?

It doesn't make any sense.

"Five hundred, I told you."

Wu Gou's voice suddenly increased, and it took a while for the salesman to react, clearing his throat and shouting.

"Twenty-five hundred times!"

Now it was Jerry's turn to tremble. The news he got was different from the status quo. He said that he had no upper limit on the quota, but how could such a thing be possible? He was just a delivery man.

Now that the salesman had called for the second time, he took a breath, raised his eyes cautiously, and looked at Russell with a questioning look in his eyes.

Russell sighed inwardly, then nodded slightly in the smallest range that could be observed.

But obviously this couldn't escape Jiang Mulin's eyes. He broke off a small piece of malt, raised his eyebrows and said: "The little shopkeeper has a good relationship with you? He can't be your illegitimate son, right?"

"You're joking, Jiang."

The corners of Russell's mouth twitched for a long time, and his eyes were on fire.

It wasn't a matter of money in the first place, he just had a feud with this Xia Guo martial artist, plus the matter of the paper lantern festival a few days ago, new and old grudges were added together, and he wanted to hurt Jiang.

But now it seems that instead of being able to get rid of the bad breath in his heart, he was slapped twice.

"Add two hundred."

Jerry stretched out two fingers, carefully checking Russell's face every time he raised the price.

"Five hundred." Wu Gou looked at him calmly, loosened one arm and loosened his shoulder, "Let's speed up, I'm so tired."

"You lied to me!" Jerry bit his lip angrily.

"It's all business."

After coming and going, the price has already gone up to [-], and Jerry's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Although the amount was enough, it was the line that Russell had drawn for himself earlier.

But when he looked at Russell again, he still got the gloomy nod of the Breton man.

He gritted his teeth, and immediately stretched out a finger after being cruel, but Wu Gou hit back and added a thousand to him.

"If you are not decisive, I will help you."

The boy's dark eyes seemed to swallow him up.

The price climbed up and down, and even rose by five thousand in five or six rounds. Wu Gou's method of increasing the price made Jerry breathless.

Thirty-five thousand yuan was not far from his new quota of forty thousand yuan, but there was another problem here.

If you can get the first letter out, why can't you get out the second?
Now that it has completely changed from an economic confrontation to a psychological warfare, Russell's face is gloomy, but he can only see the actions of the Xia country boy after reaching [-].

He also had to consider the possibility that Jiang Mulin's side would suddenly stop after the price reached an outrageous level. As a member of the chamber of commerce, he didn't have a particularly strong connection with Lawson Heavy Industries, so he couldn't rule out the possibility that he would be manipulated.

There is no nationality in front of interests, this is his belief.

"Thirty-six thousand and five hundred times!"

"."

"Okay, our current price has come to [-]."

"."

"Thirty-nine thousand times!"

Many Caucasians from Europa had blood on their faces. This highly immersive tug-of-war made everyone feel excited, waiting eagerly for the final decision.

"forty thousand."

Wu Gou raised his finger and directly filled up the amount.

Jerry looked at Russell again, coughed, and said in a low voice, "Add one hundred."

"Forty thousand and one hundred and one times!"

The salesman shouted, and turned his eyes to this unfamiliar Xia Guoren. At this moment, Wu Gou became the focus of the audience.

"Forty-one thousand."

This sentence shocked the entire audience into an uproar, because before the highly anticipated young man had time to make any movements, the unfamiliar Bleidian language came from a third person.

People followed the prestige, and saw sitting in an inconspicuous corner at the other end was a Western boy in a gray plaid shirt.

Very ordinary and unremarkable Caucasian appearance, slightly long hair, high nose bridge, and freckles, almost no one will notice him among the many Europeans.

After he gave the price, he didn't express anything else, just sat upright, as if he was a lifelike doll.

"Forty-one thousand times!"

A flash of shock flashed across Wu Gou's face, and then he frowned, his clasped fingers turned blood-red like a tide, and he didn't increase the price.

"Forty thousand one thousand two times!"

Jerry shrunk his head and looked towards the high platform, but Russell had no idea about the Breton that suddenly appeared.

From the corner of his eye, he looked at Jiang Mulin who was frowning slightly beside him. The expression on this old oily guy's face may not represent his true thoughts.

but--

"His emotion was surprise, not fake."

The weak voice was transmitted to Russell along the metal buckle in the cochlea, and someone has been observing the state of the middle-aged man from the side.

This was the first time Jiang Mulin showed such emotion in the whole auction.

"Forty-one thousand three times!"

This was the last chance, and Wu Gou who was not far away was still bewildered.

Russell breathed a sigh of relief and gave no further instructions.

"make a deal!"

The gavel of selling officials fell, and this exciting auction ended with a very dramatic result. The Briton boy who suddenly came out won the second-generation biological machine tool.

Jiang Mulin narrowed his eyes, his gaze flicked back and forth between the Breton boy and Wu Gou.

I saw that the two had been winking since the hammer fell, and the corners of their mouths were so crooked that they could hang a teapot.

Then Wu Gou turned around and smiled at him.

Seeing this scene, Russell's face was frighteningly dark. He pressed the hat on his head, turned around and walked out of the exit.

"Busy business, farewell, Jiang."

"Hey, in such a hurry, why don't you leave without a meal? I'll treat you."

Jiang Mulin turned around and yelled indifferently, but unfortunately the disappearing figure ignored him.

Outside the venue, a small, bearded Breton was waiting for Russell.

"Horses stumble, people stumble, Xia people like to say that, my dear friend." Ola flicked out a cigarette, and couldn't tell if he was smiling, "Recently, you seem to be on this oriental martial artist. , suffered too much loss."

"Letting him use 4 yuan to buy something with a reserve price of [-] yuan is also an outlet for me." Russell took the cigarette thrown by the other party, with a low tone.

"I don't think you look angry. Besides, if someone really needs medical treatment, 4 yuan will not be a loss. Lawson Heavy Industries' cutting-edge Samsung factory caught fire last week. I'm afraid the biological machine tool will stop production for a few days. Months. If you miss this opportunity, if you have a difficult disease, you can only send the patient to Breton, not to mention the tossing of the journey, and the cost of 4 yuan will not be covered.”

"You said this just to see my joke?"

"No, no, Mr. Euler is your close ally, now and in the future. I just want to ask, you have always had a character of vengeance, can you let it go like this? It was photographed, and there is still a delivery , you didn't move?"

"Hmph, if it wasn't for preventing the kind of thing you said, there is no need for him to show up, and I won't bother you anymore. Hmph, wait, do it next time, it won't be a matter of money. I want him life."

After Wu Gou left the auction house, he turned a few turns in the alley and saw the Breton boy who had killed him again.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then grinned at the same time.

The boy suddenly grabbed his half-short blond hair, and then pulled it violently, revealing the short cropped hair underneath.

He took a rag, sprayed the special remover on his face a few times, and the delicate makeup and fake nose bridge were finally removed, revealing the original oriental face.

Duan Longbow.

"Is it exciting?" Wu Gou asked.

"Exciting, I couldn't move when I yelled [-]. Fortunately, I didn't need to yell again. For three days, I practiced this sentence for three whole days."

Duan Changgong touched his chest, with a look of lingering fear, and then handed a piece of Lawrence's voucher to Wu Gou.

The second-generation biological machine tool is here.

"Dun's mouth is straight." Wu Gou praised with a thumbs up.

"Did I make a contribution?"

"Make a great contribution."

Hearing this, Duan Changgong was so happy that the corners of his mouth curled up. He thought that after working on the oil bottle for so long, he finally got a rib, and immediately his chest was going to stand up.

But the corner of his eyes dimmed in the next second, and he saw a middle-aged man with a round face and short neck standing at the entrance of an alley not far away, and his whole body suddenly looked like a deflated ball.

"Yes." Jiang Mulin asked while breaking the candy with his broad fingers, "Do you want to eat candy?"

"I. You. No."

Duan Changgong couldn't complete a sentence all at once, so Wu Gou reached out to take it, grinning and said, "Thank you, Master Jiang."

"Boss Cao's idea, or yours?" Jiang Mulin asked.

"his."

"This Cao Yong has some skills."

Jiang Mulin said a few words lightly, and then patted Duan Changgong's shoulder with his broad hand.

That silly boy was stupefied at first, but now he was patted twice, but he didn't dare to move for a moment, he just stood there in a daze like a sculpture.

"What's your name?" Jiang Mulin asked.

"Section, section, section."

"The name is quite long."

"Duan Changgong." Wu Gou slapped him on the back suddenly, and after he regained consciousness, Duan Changgong carefully swallowed his tongue and nodded.

"Okay, I remember you. I was a bit impressed when I saw you fighting before. You haven't practiced martial arts in your life, have you?" Jiang Mulin asked again.

"No, just a few days before the sixth round, my brother taught two hands."

"Okay, if you want, you can go to the Guoshu Museum later. Do you know Song Yunqian, my great apprentice."

"Know it."

"You go and talk to him. I told you to take the status of an outer disciple. He will take care of it. If you have any questions, ask him to come to me. Do you understand?"

These two sentences were said to Duan Changgong as if he was drunk. He stared at the middle-aged man in front of him for a long time, until Wu Gou coughed, and then he came back to his senses. Then he fell on all fours and hit his head on the ground. a big one.

"Okay, go, I have a few words to say to your brother."

Jiang Mulin waved his hand, and Duan Changgong finally got up, stumbling towards the entrance of the alley.

"This is like the reaction of meeting me for the first time. It's not like you. How many minds are hidden in your belly."

Jiang Mulin raised his chin at the back, and then licked the corner of his mouth at Wu Gou.

"If you don't plan well, how can there be so many coincidences in the world? Meeting Master Jiang, and Boss Cao?" Wu Gou greeted him with a calm gaze, "Waiting for opportunities from the sky, waiting for pity, in my opinion, is the same as waiting for death." No difference."

"Hey, you were also the one who taught Duan Changgong the gift just now?"

"Ah."

This martial arts apprentice pays attention to salutations, normally three kowtows is already a great gift, but Duan Changgong's kowtow just now is an even bigger one, because the one who kowtowed three times was on the forehead, and the one who kowtowed was on the top of the skull.

"It seems that you have done a lot of research."

"It depends on man's effort, hard work is never too much."

"That's right, just don't go in the wrong direction." Jiang Mulin took a breath, leaned against the wall and leaned gently, "I really didn't expect that you and Boss Cao would co-act a show. I thought you told me on the spot that I had an extra bank account, and that was all."

"You can't fool Master Jiang, and I'm afraid it's hard to fool the Neapolitans."

"Why, is he smarter than me?"

"That can't be, he is more cunning and vicious than you."

"You can talk." Jiang Mulin smiled, and then his eyes sank, "When did Cao Yong approach you and say you came for investment?"

"The third round is over." Wu Gou said truthfully.

"You agreed then?"

"No, it was the day before the fifth round. He came to me again and told me about it. Some of his commercial spies were at the British Chamber of Commerce. After inquiring about the leak, he said he was willing to help me. Bad food, multi-layer insurance, I agreed, who knows it is really thanks to him."

"Hey, this Cao didn't need to expose it, but he came to you. He wanted to make meritorious service, right? He has a quick mind—what's the name of his foreign firm, Jiaolong?"

"Correct."

"Success, he saved my face, and I will also give it to me, and send me a message to Boss Cao, saying that he can talk to me when he has time, then Xueji Foreign Company must be unreliable, let's see if he can catch it Chance."

"it is good."

"Oh, by the way, you can add a word, tell him, I don't bother to find out who is behind this Manager Cai. As long as you have the ability and heart to do things, and you don't just eat things that eat inside and outside, then it's easy to talk about."

"Master Jiang suspects that Boss Cao directed and acted himself?"

"It's not a question of suspicion. I just want to inform him that I'm not a fool—you're also solving a big concern here. Once the bank has delivered it, your mother will be able to use the latest biological machine tool in the evening."

"Ah."

Wu Gou nodded, his dark eyes sparkled with lively brilliance.

"Don't forget, you owe me a fight."

"I'm still here in the early morning, so I won't forget it."

"Can't you forget? Then where did I get the pen in my big book?"

"."

In the evening, when it was almost dusk, only half of the face of the setting sun was left on the sea.

The ships coming and going sounded their whistles, and the wide hull wrapped in white air cut through the red water.

The man wrapped up his black windbreaker tightly, and he was sitting in the middle of several wooden barrels piled up. His leather shoes knocked on the floor, and he was in a very irritable mood.

There was another sound of the whistle of a ship approaching the shore, and he hurriedly poked his head out, and then when he saw the flag on the mast reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, he suddenly smiled.

He suddenly got up from the pile of barrels, and went up to the flag of the empire on which the sun never sets.

"I think you must be Mr. Russell's Cai."

The captain stood on the deck, wearing a dark green military overcoat, with a pipe dangling from his mouth.

"Yes, I am, Russell promised to pick me up to live in Dunkou after this time."

Cai Mu nodded, his sweat-soaked hair stuck to his forehead, his expression a little excited.

"Well, what's the matter, let's get on board, the Chamber of Commerce just likes to throw me some troublesome things-wait a minute, take a photo, yes, one on the shore, one on the boat, Russell needs publicity, so that someone can take it for me He works."

"What are we going to do?"

"Immediately. What conditions did Russell give you?"

"A decent job in the City, a salary of one hundred pounds a week, a big villa, a blonde wife, and an invitation to a high-society banquet, all of which he promised me."

"Damn it, old bastard, this mouth can really ask for a price." The captain looked at him with a half-smile, and put one hand into his bulging coat, "Then, let's go."

The whistle sounded, and the steam cargo ship moved silently, carrying him towards the boundless shadow at the end of the sunset.
