Chapter 2768 I Object
With shouts, groups of men and women in colorful clothes walked in.
The guests present also became more and more respectful, because they were all descendants of centuries-old families.
Even the Bilal siblings restrained their arrogance and waited.
Ma Qingqing, who was not far away, glanced at Ye Tianlong, as if he was mocking his peers for being too far behind Prince Mason and the others.
Ye Tianlong didn't even look at it, he just sat on the table and ate melon seeds. For him, these were just the young and old who came to gild, and there was nothing worthy of respect.
Although there were more than thirty people walking towards the door, everyone held their heads high and were extremely proud.
But the most eye-catching thing is the young man in the middle.
He is in his mid-twenties, tall and handsome, his hair is meticulously combed, and his clothes are handmade and very decent.
He is like the son of a god, making countless young girls' eyes freeze and shine.
Prince Mason.
The two men and one woman beside him are also very eye-catching. The woman is dignified and beautiful, and the man is full of energy.
Coupled with the gorgeous clothes from head to toe and the personal protection of bodyguards behind, it can be said that it stands out from the crowd.
A group of more than thirty people walked slowly into the hall, with guests avoiding them along the way.
Three men and one woman looked around and frowned.
The eldest son and young lady from the upper class obviously look down upon this small club. They are always a little picky no matter how they look at people or things.
If they didn't need to come here for gold plating, they wouldn't take the initiative to interact with Uzbekistan.
"Prince Mason, Prince Louis, Miss Windsor, Master Budden, good morning."
As they looked around, Bilal and Castilla led people to greet them, saying with great enthusiasm, "You are finally here."
A dozen well-established European and American men and women also approached, smiling broadly and chatting with Prince Mason and the others.
Although the others showed admiration and flattery to Prince Mason, they also knew their status and position, so they could only watch from a distance and did not dare to get close.
The same goes for Ma Qingqing and other fashionable girls, with sweet smiles but timidity.
Ye Tianlong glanced at the four people and quickly made a judgment for them:
Mason is noble, Windsor is arrogant, Louis is feminine, Budden is arrogant...
"Mason, are you here?"
At this time, another group of uniformed men and women appeared on the stage. Walking in the middle was a bearded general. He glanced at the whole audience and then walked towards Mason and the others.
Castile and the others dispersed.
Prince Mason greeted him with a smile: "Hello, General Ugo. I'm sorry, something happened on the way, so I'm late."
Louis, Budden and Windsor also smiled and greeted the bearded general.
"As long as you can come, it's never too late."
General Ugo obviously admired Prince Mason and did not hide his feelings when he spoke: "And if you don't show up, this cocktail party will be meaningless."
Mason was polite: "Thank you, General, for the compliment."
While they were chatting, Pu Zhanjun and others' faces became increasingly ugly. After drinking a few cups of tea, they were ready to leave.
With General Ugo's attitude, it was obvious that there was no suspense in the afternoon bidding.
However, they were all persuaded by Ye Tianlong to eat melon seeds and drink tea together to promote their relationship.
"Everyone, I am very happy to come to Ukraine, and I am even more happy that you are actively participating in the bidding for the Expedition."
Ten minutes later, General Ugo finished reminiscing with Mason and the others, straightened up and came to the podium, and spoke majestically into the microphone:
“Wu Guo’s original intention was that the bidding for the Expedition would start at US$200 million, with no upper limit, and the highest bidder would win.”
"But Prince Mason reminded me just now."
“Money cannot be the only criterion, but also the importance that buyers attach to it.”
"The nouveau riche have a lot of money and the price they pay is high, but that doesn't mean they will treat it well when they buy it back."
"And in this world, there are still many countries that are not rich, and there are also many forces that don't have enough to eat."
General Ugo said righteously: "We cannot deprive them of opportunities because of money."
Pu Zhanjun frowned slightly: "What exactly does he want to say?"
The rich man smiled and said, "Define the scope and reduce Mason's competitors."
"So I came up with another temporary plan."
General Ugo said loudly: "That is to treat the Expedition as a bargaining chip of 240 million, and you have 24 teams, each with 10 million."
"If you want to get the Expedition, you can pay your opponents to buy it, or you can challenge them to life or death."
"If you don't choose either, Uzbekistan will confiscate the chips."
"If the price is set appropriately, or if the life and death challenge is successful, you can strengthen your chips."
"Finally, the forces that have obtained 240 million chips can transport the Expedition away from Ukraine."
"This is also an opportunity for poor but courageous forces."
"If you have money, you throw money at someone else, and someone else throws money at you, how fair is it?"
General Ugo raised his arms and shouted, and the surrounding soldiers responded in unison. Mason and Bilal also responded happily, and the momentum was very spectacular.
Fu Yuanwai, Ye Tianlong and the others looked at each other and secretly called on General Ugo to stir up trouble in order to improve the reputation and influence of Ugo.
At the same time, it also gives Mason and the others a chance to perform.
During this period, Uzbek soldiers came over with several trays filled with crystal chips stamped with military seals, worth 10 million each.
The soldiers quickly gave one to each of Ye Tianlong and the others. The ten million yuan was directly replaced by the deposit they handed over.
This clearly allows Mason to spend less and do more.
At the same time, the rostrum was quickly raised to 1.5 meters and a red carpet was laid out as a temporary arena.
General Ugo spread his hands and shouted, "Does anyone have any opinions?"
"I disagree!"
When the rich man and his men treated the ten million as a waste of money, Ye Tianlong stood up with his hands behind his back, and his voice was clear and swept the whole audience.
This shout immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience, and Mason and Windsor also looked over.
Seeing that it was Ye Tianlong who was making trouble, Castilla almost picked up a stool to fight.
Ma Qingqing also frowned and looked at Ye Tianlong, feeling that he was not as good as he thought, and felt that Ye Tianlong was grandstanding.
General Ugo's voice sank: "I don't know why this little brother doesn't agree with my change?"
Ye Tianlong was not afraid at all, and calmly met his sharp eyes:
"Rules are rules, how can they be changed at will?"
"Although General Ugo has his own considerations, his starting point is not bad, giving the forces without money a chance."
"But this is still disrespectful to the 24 forces that came to the meeting."
"The deposit has been paid, the money has been brought, and the auction is ready. General Ugo changed the rules temporarily, which is really incomprehensible."
"And this is not fair to me who is so weak."
"Originally, I could win with money, but now because of the life-and-death battle, my probability is greatly reduced."
Ye Tianlong's words resounded throughout the garden:
"The general wanted to pursue fairness, but the result made me unfair."
"I oppose this rule."
