2006: School beauty loves me again

Chapter 467 Outsider? (-in-)

The most cutting-edge science in the human world is created by politics and capital.

Fangyuan probably understood this simple truth, but he really couldn't imagine that such a lot would appear in such a "high-end" auction venue.

The "Flame Red Lips" auctioneer then introduced the auction situation, which gave him a deeper understanding.

The laboratory located underground in France and Switzerland cost a lot of money. After it was built, it belonged to all mankind in name, but only in name.

In fact, the time that non-European and American countries can conduct scientific research there is very short, and the location is very remote. Take China as an example. The location borrowed from the Institute of High Energy Particles is only a small and remote corner of its laboratory.

Other groups of scientists often stay there for several years, given the strong capital and state support behind them.

This is the first time that Laboratory No. 6 has been vacant for a year and a half. It just so happened that a research team finished its work and sold the remaining time...

Fangyuan glanced forward and looked at the back of his head, figuring out the key. Some people present were funding the scientific research team.

There is no starting price, or the starting price of each item is known except for the radius.

There was no sign representing the numbers on site. Position 1 just pressed a button on the coffee table, and the auctioneer on the stage said: "150 million US dollars, position 2."

There was no shouting "once, twice, three times, deal", just like the little blonde beauty introduced before, everyone seemed to have a chance to bid.

This scene, which was completely different from the plot of the TV movie, left Fangyuan a little confused.

He had no money, and he really couldn't figure out why the palace asked him to come to a place like this. It was magical, but not interesting.

At the scene, he was like an outsider, like a Sanpao who had just entered the city.

No. 2 position was not pressed, nor was the palace at No. 3 position.

Fangyuan secretly guessed that these two people did not fund the physics science team.

"Gong Ge is playing with the media. He doesn't need to take pictures." While thinking, he explained to He Yan and Zou An. It didn't matter whether they were willing to listen or not. In short, he really wanted to talk now. If he didn't talk about something off-topic with others, he would I felt like I was about to explode.

The fresh air system and air conditioner blew scented cold air, and with the on-site aromatherapy, the environment was very comfortable, but he just felt inexplicably anxious.

The No. 5 position button was clicked, and the price of the auction became 200 million.

Every time the price was 50 million, Fangyuan understood again.

Sanchez and his son were at No. 7 and also called the price.

Number eight also called.

Looking over, Fangyuan suddenly found that the white-haired old man on No. 8 looked familiar, much like the global president of IDG.

Five of the first eleven people bid, and the one-and-a-half-year ticket for the right to use the No. 6 large-scale laboratory turned into 350 million US dollars. Fangyuan was stunned and pressed the button with a cup. Whoever pressed it would fight to the death. .

The expected continued bidding did not appear, and a middle-aged woman in seat 10 quietly took the ticket.

Then, on-site handover.

The familiar blond beauty led a young man in a suit holding a stack of documents to the white lady's seat and politely put down the documents. At the same time, the lady stretched out her hand and shook it on the scanner in the blond beauty's hand. one time.

With a "ding" sound, the payment was cleared.

"Palmprint scanning? Advanced." Fangyuan clicked his tongue twice.

He Yan on the side said: "Ring, that person wears a black ring on his hand, and others also have it on their hand."

Fangyuan was stunned, He Yan said again: "You didn't."

"Thanks for the reminder! I know I didn't."

People are like this. On the one hand, they are as poor as dogs. They are not happy to be ignored in big occasions. Fangyuan's self-esteem is slightly frustrated.

After the handover was completed, the auctioneer said on the stage: "Lot No. 2..."

Fangyuan looked over attentively, wondering what weird thing the next thing would be.

"Hey, tell me, is it possible that we have the right to explore Mars, hahaha."

Fang Yuan tried to calm down his anxiety with a little joke, but He Yan and Zou Ping didn't talk to each other. They turned their heads and Fang Yuan saw that they were clicking on their mobile phones.

"What are you two doing? You are so close and you still need to send text messages to each other?"

Zou An looked at him, frowned, and said nothing.

He Yan said: "You know..."

Suddenly, the little blonde girl came forward and reminded them to be quiet and maintain order in the venue.

Fangyuan looked forward, and the heads of seats in front of him were looking back. The lady in seat ten even smiled at him.

Fangyuan immediately blushed and signaled Zou An and He Yan to pay attention to their quality.

Auctioneer: "Banana."

Fangyuan: "..."

banana?

What is this?
Banana engraved with yellow diamonds?

Stunned but forced to calm down, Fangyuan stared blankly.

"Brazil and Ecuador, the two major South American banana producing countries, have total futures trading rights for the next natural year, No. 1."

Day, my day!

This dog egg auction is really... unpredictable.

Position 1 didn't call, position 2 didn't call, these two people probably didn't trade.

But Fangyuan is playing with bananas.

There are more than 1500 countries growing bananas in the world, but there are only six main producing countries. In addition to China, there are India, Indonesia and the Philippines in Asia. The remaining two are Ecuador and Brazil. The total annual production of these two countries exceeds million tons.

According to the average sales price of the production area last year, it was 2 yuan and 40 cents per kilogram...

That’s a market worth more than 30 billion...

Total futures trading rights? Are you kidding me?
Is that something that an individual can monopolize?

Is the government on board?
Fangyuan was confused, and the palace raised a price, which made him even more stunned.

Boss Gong likes to eat bananas?
The auctioneer smiled at Gongge at this time.

"No. 3, cash settlement?"

Gongge shook his head and made a gesture that Fangyuan couldn't understand.

The auctioneer nodded and announced: "The trading exchange rules will be activated in position three, and the advertising rights of twenty-six A-level media will be exchanged throughout the year. Position four."

No. 4 did not call, and no one else called after that. This seemed to be a tacit understanding.

"No. 12."

The auctioneer's voice came, and Fangyuan hadn't recovered yet.

Let’s not talk about the reason why Gongge used tens of billions of stable advertising revenue in exchange for bananas, a piece of junk that will break as soon as the storm hits.

The key point is that there is no low-price announcement in this auction, which means that everyone present except you knows the low price.

What does it mean? Don't you want to play with me?

Then why are you still calling my number?

Fang Yuan angrily pressed the second cup on the button.

The blond beauty walked to Gong Ge in the first row. Similarly, the young man in a suit put the documents on the coffee table. Gong Ge glanced at the ring on his hand and said "ding", the transaction was completed, extremely fast.

Fangyuan felt that at this rate, if the auction could continue until dark, the transaction volume would probably be higher than the entire A-share market.

After the delivery of the two "things" was completed, he felt that it would not be strange even if the officials put an alien who could sing and dance on the stage.

What is this for?
why?

Fangyuan felt that the scene in front of her was like a dream, unreal.

Or is this the way the world is?

The illusion of Zhuang Die's mutual dream was suppressed for an instant.

Fortunately, Lot 3 was a real object and not an alien, but it was still beyond his expectation.

A square piece of brown amber was cut into the size of a student's pencil case.

The big screen at the scene lit up for the first time, showing Amber's detailed photos and introduction.

The auctioneer lets everyone see it and is not responsible for explaining.

There are weeds, gravel and dust sealed in the amber. It is not too transparent, but there is also a small eight-clawed spider sealed next to it. It looks scary with its teeth and claws. There are several air bubbles densely packed next to the spider.

The introduction said that it was not air, but water droplets, water droplets from 130 million years ago.

Amber is not valuable, dirt and grass roots are not valuable, spiders are not valuable, and water droplets are not valuable either.

What's more, Fangyuan is afraid of spiders and gets upset whenever he sees one.

After a burst of laughter, the auctioneer said: "Bad things, rare but not expensive, No. 1."

The No. 1 position button is pressed, five thousand.

Five thousand yuan, not fifty million.

Position 2 also clicked, for $10,000.

The palace also clicked, for 20,000 US dollars.

Fangyuan found that the rules had changed again, doubling the price every time.

Everything clicked, and by the eleventh person, the price of amber changed from 512 US dollars to million US dollars.

Fangyuan looked at the button held by two glasses and felt funny. Can I buy something at No. 12?
Number 11 next to him was an unsmiling middle-aged Caucasian man. Fang Yuan had never seen him show his teeth from the beginning to the end, but now he turned over and smiled, spread his hands and said something to Fang Yuan.

Zou An didn't understand Russian, and neither did Fangyuan. He Yan said, "He wants it."

Fangyuan smiled back and said that he didn't intend to bid, but the Caucasian man actually hugged him.

The chaotic price hike still didn't happen, and No. 11 spent more than five million US dollars to buy a sealed little spider.

Fangyuan wished in her heart that he would be able to find a beautiful woman one day.

Then two more physical items were auctioned, one more ridiculous than the other.

Lot No. 25 was an ultra-old bicycle with a huge front wheel and a huge rear wheel. The chain was stained with rust, but it was used by the old man Einstein on his crotch. It was eventually bought by Sanchez’s father for US$. From his big smile and generous posture, it can be seen that the old ship king is a guy with a childlike innocence, and he looks much easier to contact than Sanchez, who always has sinister eyes.

Lot No. 5 is a living creature, a blue macaw that can say "goodluck". Throughout the auction, it stood on the shoulders of the graceful auctioneer and called "goodluck". It moved its neck back and forth in a very naive manner. .

Fangyuan liked it very much, but when he came here, the parrot's worth was already as high as 70. He thought that if he trained a myna to say hello, he would never be able to spend this much money, so he gave up.

Subsequently, the first price increase on the scene occurred on a parrot. In the end, the white-haired old man in position 135 who looked like an IDG boss bought "goodluck" for US$ million.

The process of auctioning parrots was fun and lively. The beautiful but weirdly dressed auctioneer showed her age-appropriate personality for the first time and interacted with the people below.

The old ship king asked in Spanish-accented English whether the bird could fly?
The auctioneer asked him to shake his shoulders. The big parrot unfolded its huge wings and flew around the venue. It was good luck while flying. Fangyuan wanted to buy it even more, but it took a lot of effort to suppress the impulse to buy.

Before introducing the sixth lot, the beautiful auctioneer moistened her mouth. When she raised her head to drink water, the cape and hat on her head fell off. Her jade neck was slightly raised, her throat was surging, and her beautiful red lips were very tempting. After drinking the water, she didn't put on her hat anymore. She gently flipped her hair and began to introduce the auction items. She looked directly at Fangyuan as she spoke.

"Lot No. 6, the three-year cooperative use rights of PAI's West African route."

There was no sound at the scene, but there was no uproar or anything like that. Everyone except Fangyuan seemed to have known about it for a long time.

Every word fell into Fangyuan's ears, and his back molars almost broke.

"I object."

"invalid objection."

The faster he spoke, the faster he replied.

The auctioneer smiled coquettishly, pursed his lips, and looked at Fang Yuan with a smile.

Fangyuan said loudly: "Why? This route belongs to me, and I am one of the shareholders of PAI. Why don't you notify me when the right to use my route is auctioned???"

After speaking, he turned his head slightly and stared at Sanchez's expression.

The latter just gnawed on a bright red snake fruit with ease and looked at him with a calm smile.

The auctioneer said calmly: "Please bid according to the order, or the fixed price, or you will be expelled from the scene."

Fangyuan felt humiliated in her heart and was about to leave the table angrily, but she saw Gong Ge turning back and shaking his head slightly.

Suppressing his anger, Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and waved to the blonde beauty.

"Mr. Fang, what do you need?"

"Shaving razor."

"A razor?"

The little beauty thought for a moment and said, "Please commit suicide and leave."

Fangyuan sneered: "Electric, I want to shave."

"OK, just a second."

He Yan and Zou An reminded him in a low voice: "Do you know about tail-biting snakes?"

Fangyuan was still angry and shook her head angrily, "Isn't that the thing above your head?"

Zou An clicked his tongue twice, "Let's go out and explain."

He Yan said: "It's strange that you can reach this level now."

Fangyuan didn't understand, but there was a row of young men in suits standing a few meters behind him to maintain order, and they couldn't talk much.

He was still thinking about the lot.

PAI's West African route is an extremely important part of his business layout. Among the eleven shareholders, except Everbright and Summer, the other nine parties have the same rights and responsibilities. Why is this auction hosted by someone who is not sure who chooses the lowest one? A line?
He couldn't figure it out, but he also knew that he had no ability to stop it and could only wait and see what happened.

Subsequently, the trend on the scene once again exceeded Fangyuan's expectations.

Originally he thought it was Sanchez's conspiracy, but it turned out that they didn't bid at all. The right to use the West African route was auctioned off by a real Arab uncle in the ninth position for a price of US$1.5 billion.

1.5 billion US dollars, which is more than the total investment amount of PAI in the beginning. This money did not fall into my own pocket!

The complete and accurate route map on the screen drawn by Fangyuan himself is a red line extending from Southeast Asia, bypassing the entire African continent and connecting the world.

This bright red line was exposed like this, nakedly displayed in front of these top masters. How could he not be angry or ashamed?

Is there no justice in the world? Are there no trade secrets anymore?

The route was like a lead that ignited the anger in Fangyuan's heart again. The Arab tycoon in robes and turban turned back and gave a kind smile, but everything was burned into ashes in the flames from his eyes, and the tycoon's smile was even worse.

He stared hard at the young auctioneer who looked to be in his twenties on the stage, and for a moment he felt like he had eaten the representative of the organizer alive.

Zou An advised him to calm down, and He Yan even helped him pick an orange.

"Don't you love eating this? Eat some to calm down. You can't get angry here. We can't protect you."

Fangyuan regarded the orange juice as the blood of the organizer and swallowed it hard.

Don't tell me, it's quite sweet.

After eating three of them in a row, he calmed down a bit and figured something out.

The auction has been ongoing so far, except for a few nonsensical physical items, the rest are all extremely high-value rights and interests.

In other words, what this auction is selling is...a kind of order?
Fangyuan suddenly thought of the "rules" Gongge had mentioned earlier.

Single futures product monopoly, development of new trade routes...

He scanned the whole place again and suddenly realized.

These people are making some subtle rules in the world. Eleven of them...no, counting the organizers, these twelve people are using their huge connections, funds and resources behind them to guide the business order in a certain period of time in the future. .

These people represent the will of a certain contemporary pioneer field. They control the evolution and direction of the business landscape through general contracting and subcontracting.

I behaved well.

Fangyuan fixed his gaze on Gongge's half-bald head.

Why? Why did he have to bring me to this place? We actually got a special seat.

He felt that with his current strength, he was not qualified to sit in the side seat next to the palace.

The seventh lot is the right to lay and construct the third optical cable under the Red Sea.

"The information industry is linked to the trends in Asia, Europe and Africa!" Fangyuan thought.

Three billion US dollars is very cheap, but what you buy is just the rights. Development and construction require further investment, which is different from the physical bananas in the palace.

The eighth lot is the construction of the entire Brazilian UHV and the right to share profits with the government for fifteen years.

This is a project that takes a long time to build and has a long and stable rate of return. However, it involves the coordination of local governments, and the final equity price is not high, 1.8 billion.

The ninth item is the construction and ten-year use rights of the windmill throughout Outer Mongolia and Alaska.

Wind power involves energy and environmental protection, precise trends and the future. Fangyuan secretly thought that the price would not be low.

As a result, the transaction price was US$800 million, which was very, very low.

The whispers in the front row reached his ears. The simple reason was that Outer Mongolia was a sparsely populated area and labor prices during the construction and subsequent maintenance periods were high.

After the tenth lot was brought up, the young auctioneer's style changed slightly.

A little more playful in the seriousness.

It was an ordinary little cloth bag, made of the same material as the brown robe she was wearing, rough but simple, and it looked like it could hold five pounds of radishes.

wrong!

Fangyuan frowned and pursed her lips.

Given the nature of this auction, things are by no means simple.

Could it be...a space pocket?
Storage magic weapon?

It can't be a shopping bag handwoven by the auctioneer himself, right?

On the stage, he captured the fleeting shyness on the auctioneer's pretty face.

"This is a cloth bag I sewed by myself last week. It can be used at home and on trips. It is very strong."

!

Did you really sew it yourself?
Who are you? !

Why are your handmade products up for auction?

Are there eleven of your fans in the audience?
The hearty laughter of the old ship king once again stood out from the laughter.

The accented English was heard by Fangyuan.

"We all know that little girl is short of pocket money! You don't want to earn from me, I will get the expenses."

Another burst of laughter followed.

Fangyuan didn't understand at all. He looked at the two people beside him. Zou An and He Yan spread their hands at the same time.

"How can we understand the world of your rich people?" Zou An said.

He Yan asked Fangyuan: "Do you want to take pictures?"

"Only idiots take pictures."

The shyness on the auctioneer's face disappeared, and the formal bidding process began.

The old ship king's face was rejected by everyone, and the scene of the macaw appeared again.

Cloth bags that could hold radishes were robbed by everyone.

Can the cost be ten yuan?
When the asking price reached eight million US dollars, everyone tacitly agreed and stopped grabbing it.

Fangyuan was dumbfounded. He firmly believed that this pocket could never hold eleven parrots, poor parrots.

He looked at the auctioneer, and the little girl accepted it calmly, no longer shy.

Which auction in the world can make an auctioneer earn tens of millions at a time?
Who is this girl?
The tenth lot is a deer, a male moose with widely forked antlers.

The lot did not come to the scene, but was shown in videos and photos.

Either a pure white rare "auspicious" one, or an ordinary, dirty moose breathing white vapor, very big.

But Fangyuan was no longer shocked. He was a little "aesthetically tired" and numb.

This thing seems to be a symbol, because no one competes with the palace. For ten thousand US dollars, a deer was taken away by the palace.

After the delivery was completed, the auctioneer announced at the same time: "The next auction will be held by No. 3."

Gongge sat and nodded around, responding to the applause of others.

Auctioneer: "The last lot."

The picture on the screen changed, and a very familiar LOGO from Fangyuan appeared.

“FLY Group’s next round of investment qualifications.”

-

The eleven lots seemed to have been deliberately set up by the organizers.

Except for Fangyuan, the little Kalami who couldn't afford to buy anything, everyone else got one and everyone was happy.

FLY Group's qualification for the next round of investment was taken away by a Belgian in position 2 with an entrance fee of US$50 million. He will lead the next round of investment and select investment partners.

It was obvious that Fangyuan had no autonomy, and the palace had reminded him before.

The auction is just a formality. In fact, everything has been discussed beforehand. This is what Fangyuan wanted to understand the moment the auction ended.

However, this "everyone" does not include him.

The 12th pick is little more than an outside observer in this auction.

Very shocked, very shocked, Fangyuan is beyond words.

There was no dinner after the meeting, but everyone else was chatting with each other, while he sat in his seat and ate fruit.

Zou An and He Yan did not disturb him. They were also shocked and raised their heads in shock.

Fangyuan didn't know about the tail-biting snake, or ouroboros, but they knew a little bit about it from some work in their early years.

They never dreamed that they would reach this place in their lifetime, let alone come with Fangyuan.

The faint scent of medicine hit her, and Fangyuan raised her head to see a beautiful auctioneer wearing a cloth robe from an unknown ethnic minority already standing in front of her.

Looking closer, she is really a beautiful girl whose flaw is hard to find except for her dress.

The heroic features of her eyebrows are rare among girls. The red lips under her straight nose reminded him more of the snake in the Garden of Eden.

Yes, for some reason he thought of the Garden of Eden.

It seemed that this place had once again refreshed his worldview and once again opened the door to a certain creation in his heart.

Snake girl, Fangyuan almost blurted out, but didn't dare. Everything today stunned him, like a person who realizes that he has deep sea phobia for the first time and sees the endless abyss beneath him.

"Did you have fun?" the girl asked.

Fangyuan stuffed a piece of orange into her mouth and said with a wry smile: "I enjoyed being played by you."

The girl covered her mouth and giggled. Her heroic spirit was gone, but her charm was evident.

"You're funny."

The girl's voice was very clear when she spoke. Fangyuan Ding looked at her for the whole afternoon and couldn't tell how old she was.

He asked: "Are you Chinese?"

The girl said: "Yes."

Fangyuan said: "Why am I here today?"

The girl said: "That's a good question, but I don't want to tell you now."

Fangyuan changed the question: "Who are these people?"

The girl said: "Don't you know Gong Ge? And Sanchez, you have met him too. McGovern and you also have some connections."

Sure enough, the white-haired old man was the global president of IDG.

Fangyuan asked: "I mean, who...are these people?"

He couldn't find a good adjective, but the girl obviously understood what he meant.

"Rich people, very rich, very rich rich people."

Seeing Fangyuan, she still wanted to speak, but the girl added: "The rich on the water. Throughout history, you will find that no matter what era, there will never be rich people on a large scale. The poor will always be the majority. The poor refer to those who have enough food to eat." There are only a few people who have food to eat and those who have no food to eat. Likewise, there will always be some people who can stand on the water in every era."

Fangyuan could actually think of it, but he was shocked all afternoon and wanted to ask for a certificate to put his mind at ease.

He asked: "What about you? As the organizer, who are you?"

The girl pointed at the tip of her nose in surprise, "Me? The organizer?"

She shook her head, "I'm not the organizer. It's my first time to be an auctioneer. I have no money, so I came to sell things for pocket money."

"..."

Fangyuan frowned again and sighed quietly: "Okay, I have no problem, but everything today is too sudden, beyond my original imagination."

The girl smiled and said, "No, it's not sudden."

Fangyuan wanted to leave, but stopped when he heard this.

The girl said: "Nothing in this world happens suddenly, it's just that you suddenly know it."

Fangyuan thought about it and agreed with her words. He nodded and said, "Farewell."

The girl didn't stop him, but he was stopped by a group of people.

The first one was the Arab tycoon who bought the PAI West Africa route.

There was a smell of expensive perfume near him. The wealthy man said hello to Fangyuan, and then handed over the pile of equity documents purchased for US$1.5 billion.

"In the first year, I need to borrow half of your route's shipping capacity to transport some ore. I will only hold 10% of the subsequent use rights. I will pay half of the transportation costs during the cooperation period. So, this thing is a meeting gift, how about it? My dear companion?"

"..." Fang Yuan was confused. He could understand what he said, but he didn't understand it.

A parrot was sent over, and a small amber spider was sent over, as physical gifts.

The construction and use rights of large windmills, ultra-high voltage, and submarine optical cables were all given away with 10% cost-free rights.

Oh, and that bag.

I don’t know who took the lead in stuffing things into the bag, but soon it was full.

After talking to the auctioneer girl, Gong Ge came over and handed over half of the "banana" in his hand.

“Deer are for eating, you can come to Norway to taste them, everything else is here.

"Don't be surprised, it's just a custom. Congratulations on joining the auction seat."

Fang Yuan was carrying a cloth bag that was no heavier than five radishes, and looked at the people who had formed a half circle in front of him like an idiot.

Behind them, the auctioneer girl conjured a miniature cartoon thermos cup out of nowhere and drank hot water.

On the back of the leather sofa next to her, the blue macaw tilted its neck and blinked.

"Good luck!"
