"You go slowly! This time the hospitality is not good, I'm very sorry. I will make up for it if I have the chance in the future. I hope we will have a chance to cooperate next time!"

Guan Fei stood at the door and solemnly saluted a group of jewelers who were about to leave.

"If you have a chance, if you have a chance..."

Hearing his words, the jewelers smiled bitterly, gave a few words helplessly, hugged their fists, turned around and left quickly. The people with him also accelerated their feet, as if they wanted to leave this place immediately.

They were really scared by this mainland officer who did not understand the auction rules at all.

When the auction started, all the merchants were very enthusiastic. After all, the jade brought by the other party was indeed the best. If you find a famous artist to take action, you might be able to make a store treasure. Besides, for the sake of the Hong Kong branch, everyone should also support it, so the jewelers have been increasing their investments repeatedly, and you add 50,000 or 100,000, all of them are showing the attitude of being determined to win.

In a blink of an eye, the price quickly surged to two million.

This is almost the same as a more reasonable psychological price given by various jewelers after professional judgment.

Not to mention that it is difficult for famous artists to hire, they may fail during processing. Even if they make a treasure worth a huge million yuan, it is still a matter of whether the buyer recognizes it. The higher the value, the less the base of buyers who have the capital to take action. A treasure that has won praise from everyone may not be able to be sold quickly. If you put it in your hand for a few years, you will lose a lot.

There are too many factors to consider, so each company has a bottom line in mind.

After reaching its actual price, jewelers continued to increase the price, but the increase rate has been greatly reduced. From tens of thousands or tens of thousands in the early stage to tens of thousands or thousands in the early stage, there were several relatively long pauses in the middle.

In their opinion, the price is almost the same, and Guan Fei should take the hammer.

But Guan Fei was very thick-skinned and pretended to be a useless person who knew nothing, and showed a cold face that he would not be able to approach. He stood on the stage with his hands behind his back and said nothing, then swept his cold eyes around everyone's faces, resolutely refused to drop the hammer.

If you have no choice, then continue to bid.

The initial passion of various jewelers also faded, and everyone continued to increase the price list listlessly. You are one thousand, and I am two thousand, and they drink water from time to time to wait for him to make the final decision. The venue is so simple, and a group of pampered bosses sit on the hardwood chair, feeling that this is already a torment.

If it weren't for the fear and the intention of pleasing the mainland, some people would have already left.

A bid that should have ended soon was dragged by Guan Fei for almost an hour, and the price finally reached 2.6 million.

At this time, everyone refused to increase the price anymore, so they sat down and stared at Guan Fei to see who couldn't hold it in.

They came to support and make fun of it.

It’s like getting on the door of an official, giving a red envelope is normal. It’s okay to be able to get in touch with the other party, and it’s nothing to pay a little. But if the other party insists on opening the red envelope on the spot, it means that the gift is too light, which is a bit too much. Even if you really want this piece of jade, it’s okay to add a little bit of price, but if the price is too high, they will not buy it.

Guan Fei put all the expressions of everyone in his eyes. After judging by the biological brain, these people were determined not to add any more money, so they determined the final winner of the auction and checked the money and delivered the goods on the spot.

At this time, the merchants had no intention of chatting with him. When they saw the bidding ended, they all stood up. The sound of chairs moving on the field was whirling out. Before the transaction was over, the people left empty, leaving only a bowl of leftover tea and a sweet potato seed and peanut shell.

Guan Fei sent the last guest away and then returned to the warehouse with great excitement.

The soldiers were standing against the wall like before, straightening their chests and raising their stomachs, looking straight ahead. But each of them had red silk in their eyes, tears shining, and their bodies trembled slightly. More than a dozen young men, their noses expanded and contracted rapidly, and heavy breathing sounded in the warehouse.

Is this the end?

The piece of jade brought by the brigade commander was really sold? It even sold for millions of dollars?

No one could believe the reality. I heard that this piece of jade might be more valuable before. But that was all speculation. Facing the real money in front of them, they suddenly felt like they were in a dream.

Before they came out, none of them dared to have hope for this trip, and they were simply forced to do nothing.

More than a thousand people have to eat, without oil, water, meat and fish. An adult has to eat a pound of rice a day. The physical energy consumption of being a soldier is particularly high. If they are allowed to eat with their stomachs, they can eat a pound of rice in one meal.

The consumption per day is 750 kilograms!

The local area is located in a high-altitude mountainous area, with barren and small land. In addition, the farming technology is backward, and the yield per mu can only reach a pitiful one hundred, two or three. The people still can't eat enough, and the harvest of a hard year is only enough for several months of food. It would be thankful that it would not be possible to provide surplus grain to the army.

When they came out, there were only a dozen tons of food left at home!

Not enough food for a month!

At that time, they were so desperate. The hopes of more than a thousand people were placed on them. Everyone was heavy in their hearts. Everyone was forced to hold on, and even had the idea of ​​robbing, stealing, and making money with their lives.

Who would have thought that the broken stone brought by the brigade commander turned out to be priceless jade!

At this time, their dry hearts seemed to pour into a sweet spring, rekindling hope. They were looking forward to it, and finally waiting for the bidding to begin.

The opening offer shocked the bunch of rustic buns who had never seen the world.

One million, one million!

Not to mention that they have never seen such a large amount of money, they have never heard of it. Even in China, their parents' monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan.

What is a million? They are completely unimaginable in their minds.

Seeing the brigade commander come back after sending the guest, they all want to turn their heads to him, but their necks are as if they are frozen. They can't turn over no matter what they say. They can only stare at him with their blood-filled eyes. There is blood boiling in their chests, but their lips are shaking. Even if they bite them with their teeth, they can't stop their trembling.

Guan Fei stood quietly at the door, looking at them and his soldiers.

His eyes were also a little wet, but he still forced himself to control himself with his strong willpower so that he would not lose his composure. After several years of tolerance, he had been planning along the way, racking his brains, trying every means to establish relationships with the country, and even pretending to be crazy and wanting to be shameless, he received today's results.

Too difficult!

Today, he ignored his face and kept raising the bidding price. It was not that he was too greedy, but that he was forced to do so!

He moved to the table step by step with unprecedented slow motion, looking at the box of banknotes, and using all his strength, he said in a trembling voice: "Comrades, we... have succeeded!"

"Ao!"

A heart-wrenching sound, a long hissing sound like a crying voice came from behind.

It was like igniting the fuse, and more roars rang out. He turned around with tears in his face and saw his soldiers kneeling softly on the ground, crying bitterly, or slapping on the wall, tears flowing. Even the person with an extremely strong willpower moved his lips and murmured without knowing what he was saying.

"Congratulations, Comrade Guan Fei!"

A long shadow was cast by the sunlight in front of him, and it was Xue Yangyuan.

His face was also a little excited, but in the end he was not as strong as Guan Fei and the others. He walked over and stretched out his hand to Guan Fei to congratulate him.

"Thank you! I want to thank you for your strong help in China. If it weren't for you, no matter how good that piece of jade was, it would be just a stone that could not be eaten or drunk in your hand! Thank you!" Guan Fei took a long breath, restrained his blood and held the other person's hand tightly.

"I just did what I should do..." Xue Yangyuan smiled and patted the back of his hand to help him stabilize his emotions. "Now you can buy food back."

“Woo…”

Hearing his deep words, all the soldiers started to cry.

Guan Fei rolled his throat up and down several times before asking in a relatively gentle tone: "I wonder what the food price in the port is now?"

"The grain in the port is mainly imported from Thailand. The current international grain price is about US$125 per ton of grain. According to the latest foreign exchange price, the price of a ton of rice is HK$725." After Xue Yangyuan knew that they had a piece of jade, he began to ask for the price of grain and immediately replied in a deep voice.

725 Hong Kong dollars per ton.

Guan Fei had biological auxiliary brain-assisted calculations and immediately gave the answer. The whole brigade had more than 1,500 people, and the consumption was 750 kilograms per day, which was 22.5 tons per month. To meet the annual grain demand, he had to buy almost 300 tons of rice, which was more than 190,000 Hong Kong dollars. Including the domestic train freight and the handling labor, the price was not too high, and more than 2 million was enough for them to eat for thirteen years.

But as the leader of the military and political leaders, it is impossible for him to only consider the military aspect, but also think about the needs of the masses in the defense zone.

Since the defense zone was recovered, he came out in a hurry again, and the specific situation of the civil affairs department was not yet available.

Assuming there are 10,000 people, then 300 tons of rice is only enough for the military and civilians to eat for a month, and the total consumption per year is as high as 3,600 tons.

The income from selling jade will be eaten up in just over a year!

Moreover, the account is not calculated in this way. If you don’t think about it in the long run, you need many people to realize his vision, the more the better. Without enough food, you cannot support more people. Without people, it is impossible to expand your strength, and his plan will not be possible!

More than two million is more than a drop in the bucket!

Guan Fei's congested brain gradually cooled down, and his face became cold again. He held Xue Yangyuan's hand tightly and said, "Old Xue, we don't have a legal identity in the local area yet. It is not convenient to go out to buy food. If you want to trouble you again, you will be more troubled and help us buy 1,000 tons of rice. At the same time, the freight driver also needs to contact you. In addition, you will be sent to the country to clear the customs and dispatch the car, etc., I'm afraid you will have to come forward to solve the problem."

"No problem! I have asked my superiors for instructions. The society helps to issue documents. When the convoy arrives at the port, they can pass the clearance directly. As long as they are transported to Guangzhou, they can be loaded and shipped back. But there is one thing that we can only help transport the grain to Menghai Town on the border. You will need you next." Xue Yangyuan agreed readily.

"I finally solved the urgent problem for the time being." Guan Fei grabbed his hand and swayed hard, "But besides this, I have some other things, I want to ask you..."
Chapter completed!
