No one in the big banquet hall of the Mellon family manor expected that this inconspicuous box that had not even bid for the bid just now would soar to a full ten million US dollars in just a few minutes!

Just after Mr. Cole Smith offered a low price of $120,000, everyone thought that the mysterious tycoon would win the same mysterious box at a low price. The result was Harper Lawrence from Boston, who also participated in the bidding.

Judging from the rules of the auction, it is understandable that Harper Lawrence does this. After all, the auction is a place for bidding, and whoever has the higher price will take away the auction items.

But the problem is that this is not a formal auction, and you, Harper and Lawrence, clearly didn't like this half-box, otherwise why didn't you bid just now?

You have to wait until Cole Smith bids before you bid. You are clearly having a problem. In this case, in Yanjing dialect, this is a very deteriorating thing.

The most important thing is, can Harper and Lawrence really see the value of this box? Or do you really need this box? The Mellon family has been thinking about it for almost a century but hasn't figured out what the box is for. You can figure it out just by bringing it out?

To put it bluntly, you are clearly targeting Cole Smith.

And from the perspective of action, you clearly do that.

Cole Smith quoted a low price of 120,000, and you would quote 200,000. Cole Smith quoted a low price of 210,000, and you would quote 500,000... After reporting, Harper Lawrence reported a broken box that was unbidden just now to a sky-high price of 10 million US dollars.

You Harper and Lawrence are indeed rich, and your net worth may not be able to fight a billion dollars, but you, as you know, are stingy and stingy, if you can be willing to spend ten million dollars to buy such a useless broken box, then that will make the sun rise from the Pacific Ocean.

You are not bidding, you are just here to make trouble. You are slapping the Mellon family's face in Hongguoguo.

Timothy Mellon and Skeve's faces had become extremely ugly. Even Paul Mellon, who had never loved to manage family business, could not sit still. That is, Richard King Mellon returned to his room early. If the old man was there, with the old man's temperament, he would have to blow this mess out.

"One thousand, ten thousand..." Yang Jing still said a number so calmly. As expected, his offer was only 10,000 US dollars higher than that of Harper Lawrence, the foolish guy.

Although the people at the scene didn't know if the mysterious Cole Smith was fighting Harper Lawrence, they could see that even if it was fighting, Cole Smith was full of confidence.

But it is obvious that Harper Lawrence, who was just here to make trouble, really became a fight this time. After Cole Smith said the number 10,010,000, he almost didn't even think about it and offered a "twenty million" price.

As soon as the price was released, a low cry suddenly sounded in the hall.

This box is different from the bronze sculpture of "The Mountaineer" just now. The sculpture is of value, and everyone present basically knows the value, but this broken box cannot be worth 20 million US dollars in any case. Harper and Lawrence are clearly making a fool of themselves when they report this price.

With a "bang!", Paul Mellon, who was over 80 years old, slapped the table and stood up, "Mr. Lawrence, this is Meilong Manor, not your Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, please respect it."

As soon as Old Paul said this, the audience suddenly became silent.

Everyone knows that although the third-generation core figure of the Mellon family does not manage the family business, his temper is known to everyone in the circle. More than 40 years ago, at a party of top senior officials celebrating the victory of World War II, Paul Mellon, who was in his forties, scolded President Truman on the spot because of a disagreement. If someone hadn't stopped him, Truman would have been beaten up by Paul that day.

Although Old Paul is over 80 years old, his temper is still as good as that of the past.

"Mr. Lowell, this is the Mellon family, not you Boston, so please respect your people!" As soon as Paul finished speaking, he directly targeted Alex Lowell, the chairman of the First National Bank of Boston and the core character of the Lowell family.

Unlike the domineering Harper Lawrence, Alex Lowell is the core flag figure of the contemporary Boston consortium. Among the Boston consortium composed of several major families, Alex Lowell is the real core figure. Among the eleven people who smoked cigars in the cigar house with Yang Jing and others just now, Alex Lowell, but not Harper Lawrence.

It was just unexpected that even though Old Paul got angry, Alex Lowell just smiled bitterly and shook his head with his hands. The meaning was clearly saying: "I can't care about that guy, it's useless for you to find me."

Obviously, something was wrong today. It was originally just an unknown broken box, but the broken box became a fuse. Now the fuse has been ignited, and the other end of the fuse is connected to the two giants, Boston Consortium and the Mellon Family.

No one who can come here is fool. They are all human spirits, so they immediately realized something was wrong, and the entire banquet hall immediately became quiet.

This involves the battle between the two major consortiums. Although everyone at the scene knows that the Mellon family and the Boston consortium have had a strong secret battle in the past decade. Although the Mellon family has a little advantage, the advantage is not very obvious.

Behind the Mellon family is an alliance between the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, but behind the Boston Consortium is there no alliance between the DuPont family?

However, this kind of secret struggle is only limited to a specific range, neither the Mellon family nor the Boston consortium will expand the scope or make this kind of struggle superficial. They all know that once the two major consortiums really work openly and live ammunition, the entire US economy will be seriously affected, which is something they don’t want to see.

Unexpectedly, this situation that had been under control for more than ten years was vaguely about to explode today because of a small broken box.

This is one of the bases of the Mellon family. The core figure of the Boston Consortium openly provokes the Mellon family here. This is really hard to say.

The white glove auctioneer on the stage was already sweating profusely at this time. He wished he could immediately confirm the ownership of the broken box, but he did not dare to do so.

On one side is the huge Boston consortium. Although this is just a mysterious Cole Smith, the man just smoked a cigar with the core figures of the top ten consortiums. After coming out, he had a great conversation with many top tycoons. Everyone could see that this person’s background was unfathomable.

Especially when Old Paul got angry, this matter has now risen to another level of fighting, which is far from something that a small person like him can control. To calm this matter, unless one of these two masters voluntarily withdraws, it is obvious that the mysterious Cole Smith obviously does not want to withdraw, and that Mr. Harper and Lawrence are obviously already angry now.

It may be possible to get one of them to voluntarily withdraw at this time, but it is definitely not something that he, a small auctioneer, can control.

You didn't see that even Mr. Paul was angry, but the bidding still seemed to be unable to stop.

Bloomberg also swallowed dryly, pulled Yang Jing's neck of clothes and whispered: "Cole, do you really want to continue the competition? I don't think this is a good idea. The people in the Boston Consortium are obviously standing together."

Yang Jing shook his head lightly, but still said nothing.

He can't tell what's going on in this situation now? He is now inadvertently involved in the battle between two consortiums.

Yang Jing wanted to not want to be stuck in the middle, but the box suddenly reminded him of an extremely important thing. If he hadn't suddenly remembered this matter, he wouldn't have let go of the box.

Later Tang, Li Congke, the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, the royal Lu Ban box, the silk that was filled in the Lu Ban box...

It seems that it is okay to take out any of these things alone, but if they are connected together, Yang Jing immediately reminds him of a legendary thing. If the silk in this box really has traces of the legendary thing, let alone 20 million US dollars, even 200 million US dollars, Yang Jing will take the box without hesitation.

It’s really that legendary thing is too expensive. Even if you just guess that the silk hidden in this box may be related to that thing, it is definitely worth taking the box.

What if I guess it? What if there are clues about that thing on the silk silk?

Therefore, Yang Jing will never let go of this box.

Moreover, in Yang Jing's plan, he will acquire several banks next year. As long as the Dragon Fund acquires those banks, it will inevitably have conflicts with the Boston Consortium. In other words, in the next few years, the Dragon Fund is destined to fight with the Boston Consortium.

Since that's the case, today the people of your Boston Consortium took the initiative to provoke first, so don't blame me for being rude!

Especially once we really compete with the Boston Consortium next year, even the scale of the Dragon Fund's funding needs to win over several allies.

The Mellon family gave Yang Jing a good impression, and Yang Jing and Skeve were also very good at chatting. Since the Mellon family could not come with the Boston Consortium, why not express their attitude at this time? I believe the Mellon family is also willing to form an alliance with KY Investment Fund.

Mellon family, our Dragon Fund or KY Investment Fund is on your side. I will help you get your face back today. When my buddy can use you in the future, you can't refuse...
