On February 5, 1970, the Chinese Empire Shusheng Company officially held the first virtual network bidding meeting in the virtual network.

Zhang Shusheng took Zhang Bing and Zhang Chen into the virtual network early in the morning. He first changed his image, and then came to the office building set up by Shusheng Company in the virtual world.

This is a very grand office building. It is not set up in Nok's virtual network node, but a network node that Zhang Shusheng applied to the virtual network company alone.

In other words, from now on, the empire will have its own virtual online community. Soon, this virtual online community named Yanhuang Planet will begin large-scale construction and operations.

At present, there are only a few buildings. There is the Empire Virtual Office Building, which is responsible for external reception and handling some international affairs. The other two buildings are the office building of Shusheng Company and the other one is the office of the Empire Foreign Trade Department.

building.

The three buildings each perform their own duties, which can be regarded as a grassroots team on the empire's virtual network.

"The empire's virtual network economy is still in a state of ruin. We need to think carefully about how to develop it later."

In the interstellar era, although the real economy still dominates, the virtual economy cannot be underestimated, especially in some well-known virtual economy developed countries, where the virtual economy accounts for a considerable part of the national economy.

As for the Empire's virtual community, it has only been applied for less than a month, and there is still plenty of time to build it.[

Zhang Shusheng saw that people had entered the office building of Shusheng Company one after another, so he walked over with his two children.

"Sir, please show your ID."

Although this is not a real society and there are no violent cases, for the sake of confidentiality and privacy, ordinary people are still not allowed to enter.

Zhang Shusheng did not want to reveal his identity, so he handed over the special communication certificate that had been prepared. The staff checked and found that it was wrong, and then let him go.

The bidding auction was held in a hall, which could accommodate two to three hundred people. Now it was actually 70% full, which made Zhang Shusheng slightly surprised. It seemed that the market was very good today.

Even if these people are in a group of three or five, there are still a lot of them, at least dozens of companies want to participate in the bidding.

"Tsk, tsk. I didn't expect so many people."

When the registration deadline, the empire received a total of more than 40 registration applications, but later a group of countries strongly requested to extend the registration period, which is what it is now. Zhang Shusheng is afraid that the seats will be filled immediately.

At first glance, I didn't recognize anyone here.

"I guess it's to keep it secret. I guess I used virtual technology to change my appearance."

This is understandable. No one wants to let the news of buying a battleship spread.

Zhang Shusheng's heart moved. He had already obtained the detailed information of this group of people through Zhang Bing. But he couldn't help but secretly smile. It seems that this bidding will be exciting. There are so many countries coming this time and the scope is wide. Even extremely distant countries.

Coming here to participate is really exciting.

To be honest, if he had not looked at the list of bidders, he would not have expected that so many people would participate, and the coverage would almost reach the entire Southwest Star Territory.

This was announced on the official website of Shusheng Company at that time. If the distance was further, it would exceed the scope of the Southwest Star Territory. Buyers could only pick up the goods by themselves, and Shusheng Company could not deliver the goods, and it was impossible to connect them with one-way connections.

Jump gate.

After reading the list, Zhang Shusheng had an idea in his mind and immediately found many acquaintances.[

For example, Hughes from the Harv Empire.

For example, Admiral Gaolong from the Orion Alliance.

For example, Rong Chen, a senior member of the Rong family from Lanke, actually took action personally.

He basically didn't recognize the others, but he had heard of some of their families. For example, Wang Zhouquan, the representative of the Nok Merchant Alliance, was a descendant of the Wang family of the four major Nok families, and he actually held the important position of Minister of General Equipment.

"The general armament minister of Nok, the general of the Orion Alliance, the prime minister of the Lanc people, and the special envoy of General Miankang of the Harv Empire, these are all very powerful. However, in other countries, even the princes and princes

Both, are they here to bid or gain experience..."

Zhang Shusheng sighed secretly, this is a virtual community anyway, so we are not afraid of danger, and after the real-name registration is authenticated, we are not afraid of easy leakage of secrets.

Everyone who came to the bidding meeting paid a deposit in accordance with the requirements of the meeting, so as to avoid a bunch of people coming to make trouble. Except for Zhang Shusheng's special pass, which was not paid, other bidders, whether individual or national, had to pay 10 million yuan.

A deposit of at least 3 billion Universe coins must be issued by the Universe Bank.

People quickly arrived, and He An, the arms bidding host of China Shusheng Company, also came on stage.

"First of all, on behalf of Shusheng Company, I would like to extend a grand welcome to everyone who has come from afar to participate in this bidding meeting. In addition, I must convey the blessings and greetings from His Majesty the Emperor of our country Zhang Shusheng to everyone. I hope that in the future, including this bidding meeting,

Shusheng Company’s arms bidding will satisfy everyone.

Now, I announce that the bidding will officially begin. 300 Tianlong battleships are packaged to start bidding, and the base price of a single ship is 5 million universe coins. Each increase in price must not be less than 100,000 universe coins."

He An didn't waste too much nonsense and directly announced that the bidding would begin. The technology of Tianlong Battleship has been promoted as much as it should be, and the video materials and technical materials that should be sent out have also been sent out. As for the more details, they are confidential, unless you

If you buy it yourself, dismantle it and study it, the empire won't be able to give you any more information.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, electronic bidding will be adopted in the early stages of this auction. That is to say, all those present can do is enter numbers on the bidding machines in their hands, which will start very quickly.

"start!"

As He An finished speaking, the numbers on the screen began to jump continuously. With Zhang Shusheng's observation ability, it was easy to find that everyone present had clicked the bid button at least once.

500 universe coins!

5.5 million cosmic coins!

5.88 million universe coins!

6.12 million universe coins!

…

The numbers on the screen almost never stopped beating. Whenever a high price was reached, He An would shout twice and take the lead in applauding.

In less than two minutes, the price of these battleships soared to a unit price of 10 million cosmic coins.

At this time, several companies had already withdrawn one after another, perhaps due to lack of preparation. I did not expect that the Chinese would come up with so many battleships. Even if the price did not continue to increase, 300 Tianlong battleships would still cost 3 billion universe coins. Those few weak

The countries were just here to try their luck, so they just jumped out of the way after seeing this situation.

He An said with a smile: "Everyone who gave up bidding, please be patient. We still have a second round of bidding, and we also hope that everyone can stay and bear witness to this first round of bidding."

As soon as these words came out, those who gave up bidding just changed their positions and watched the excitement happily.

"Not bad, there are still 25 groups of buyers left, and they can still afford the price."

Even Zhang Shusheng himself doesn't know how much the Tianlong battleship should be sold for now. Of course he hopes to sell it as high as possible, but the reality is that this is not allowed. Let the market decide.

There is demand in the market, and the goods are in demand, so they can naturally afford to buy them at high prices. I don't force them. If there are more people bidding, the price will be higher, and if there are fewer people bidding, the price will be lower. Keep this habit, and the empire will grow in the future.

Arms are at least in demand.

He glanced at it and saw that several potential big buyers were still there, especially those who had really come from afar and had persisted. At first glance, they were serious and not just looking around.

"Everyone, we will enter the second stage, raising placards and bidding."

Bidding by placard is much more competitive than bidding by numbers. After all, buyers may wonder if the seller is doing some trick on the system. Therefore, when the price came up, He An started bidding by placard.

"11 million cosmic coins."

Admiral Gao Long was indeed very powerful. Just now he only added 100,000 to 100,000 cosmic coins. Now the real buyers were left. He directly raised his sign and raised 11 million cosmic coins, which surprised the others slightly.

Seeing the looks from those around him, Gao Long sneered in his heart, the alliance is determined to win, and they just want to increase the price to let you see and make up your mind.

However, this price did not last for three seconds and was immediately replaced by another price.

"12 million cosmic coins!"

The person making the quotation this time was the General Equipment Director of the Nok Merchant Alliance. Unlike Gao Long, who was full of confidence, he was already feeling weak.

300 Tianlong battleships, as 300 quasi-F-class battleships, are indeed needed by the Merchant Alliance, especially since the front line is fighting the Longshan people. If a group of main forces join in, the war will be much smoother.

However, this price made him unable to sit still. The price of one million to one million would reach the psychological price of the business alliance in two clicks. What should he do?

There were 25 real buyers, no one was cowardly, and sure enough, the price of 12 million was refreshed by an offer before it stayed for 2 seconds.

"14 million cosmic coins!"

This time it was cruel enough. Prime Minister Rong Chen from the Principality of Lanc was worthy of being the prime minister of a great power. Although he was only the spokesperson of the Rong family, he had the style of a true prime minister. He made a generous sum and directly added 2 million universe coins.

He looked around at the remaining 20 buyers, but he was very calm in his heart, and said to himself: "It seems that the competition this time is fierce, but fortunately the principality has made enough budget, but I don't know which one is the Orion, these damn ones

The Orions must be present."

As soon as the price of 14 million Universe Coins was reported, it was indeed effective, and two buyers were immediately scared away.

It's not that they can't afford the unit price of 14 million, the key is that the atmosphere is no longer right, and they won't be able to win it anymore, so they can only regretfully retreat to the seat next to them and give up bidding for the Tianlong Battleship.

Zhang Shusheng is very satisfied with this atmosphere. Bidding for arms is different from auctioning antiques. There is no need for sensationalism at all. These countries are like monkeys. The early hype of the empire is enough. These countries also know how much financial resources they have and how much they need them.

Battleships naturally don’t need to be as complicated as ordinary auctions.

After the price of 14 million came out, there was a slight silence, but immediately a slightly trembling voice announced a determined price.

"16 million cosmic coins!"

Wang Zhouquan was already trembling a little. He quoted the final price, which was already 1 million more universe coins than the base price. If it was higher, he would have to give up.

He even held out a ten thousandth hope that he added 2 million cosmic coins in one breath to see if he could scare away others.

Of course, it turned out that he was delusional and the competition had just begun.
