95: Chapter 95 You're trying to lower my price? Are you crazy?
Qin Yang shrugged at this. After all, his base was in Syria, so the Government Forces were essentially on his side! He might as well help them out a bit!
Soon, the day of Syria's national founding arrived! It was quite a grand occasion! Bard had brought out everything he had, and high-ranking officials from over a hundred countries were there to observe! Regardless of their true feelings, everyone wore smiles and greeted Bard warmly!
Finally, Bard stood at the podium and delivered a passionate speech, also announcing the military ranks and positions of various generals!
Finally, Bard said in a deep voice, "Now, please welcome the greatest hero who helped Syria escape the chaos of war! Qin Yang!"
Qin Yang walked slowly onto the stage, dressed in the uniform of the Leopard Mercenary Group!
Bard shouted excitedly, "Today, our government, representing the nation, specially requests Qin Yang to serve as the Grand Prime Minister of Syria!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a stir below! Good heavens, was this a direct move to go legitimate? Moreover, the power of this Grand Prime Minister was not inferior to that of the President!
But soon, the people of Syria were relieved! After all, Tali Province had previously been the safest place in Syria! Having Qin Yang as the Grand Prime Minister would also benefit Syria!
Watching the live stream, Sleepy Emperor was furious! Damn it! By legitimizing him directly, what would happen to his plan?
A senator said, "President, please calm down! He is the Grand Prime Minister, but his forces are not! Furthermore, as a Grand Prime Minister attacking another country's territory—isn't that a clear act of war?"
Sleepy Emperor took a deep breath and said, "Fine! Gather all the evidence. In two days, we will convene the United Nations! Send our smartest people there!"
The founding ceremony was still ongoing, and it wasn't until that evening that Qin Yang's auction officially began! Qin Yang was even very happy to act as the auctioneer!
Qin Yang hyped up the crowd enthusiastically from above: "Next is the highly anticipated auction. Without further ado, let's bring out the B-2 Stealth Bomber! Cough, cough! No, it's a B-2-like stealth bomber!"
Representing China this time was Minister Lei Chengze! He stood up with a faint smile and said, "I won't play any games! Fifty million US dollars! If anyone bids higher, China will not compete!"
Good heavens, fifty million US dollars right off the bat—this price was at the ceiling! And there was no doubt that once they got it back, they would definitely study this fighter jet thoroughly!
Qin Yang struck the gavel and said, "Since no one is raising the bid, it's sold to China for fifty million!"
The netizens watching the show were stunned! Good grief, are arms really this valuable?
"Whoa! Isn't this faster than robbery? That's equivalent to 350 million Chinese Yuan!"
"Holy crap! I always thought mercenaries didn't have much money! I didn't expect Big Brother to be so wealthy!"
"Did you guys forget that Big Brother stole this? This is a net profit of fifty million US dollars! Mercenaries have no money? Do you know that one minute of Big Brother's artillery fire is worth fifty years of your salary?"
This event also refreshed everyone's impression of mercenaries! If someone could take down Qin Yang, wouldn't they strike it rich instantly?
"Next, the second one!"
The representative from Russia stood up and said, "Fifty million US dollars! We only want this one!"
Qin Yang smiled; the two of them had clearly discussed this beforehand! Fifty million US dollars, and since it was one of The Five Permanent Members, no one else bid! Those countries were all waiting for the next two fighter jets!
"The third one!"
As soon as Qin Yang finished speaking, the representative from Great Eagle Country stood up and said in a heavy voice, "We in Great Eagle Country only want this one! We won't participate in the rest! Ten million US dollars!"
When these words came out, the countries below looked at each other, for a moment not knowing if they should raise the price! After all, the threatening tone was already so obvious!
"Holy crap! This Great Eagle Country is truly shameless!"
"Don't be in a rush, person above! Didn't you see Big Brother getting angry? He's going to have a hard time next!"
Steven was feeling very comfortable right now! His original budget was thirty million US dollars! The first two bidding fifty million had given him a shock! Then he thought about it—Qin Yang had such a good relationship with those two countries; they must have been shills!
Using his status as one of The Five Permanent Members, plus the price of ten million US dollars, he figured no one would compete with him! When the time came, could he manipulate things with the extra twenty million US dollars?
While Steven was still secretly congratulating himself on his maneuver, the President of Great Eagle Country was already slamming the table in rage! Was Steven an idiot?
"Doesn't he know this is a live broadcast? And who told him to do that? Damn it, what Qin Yang cares about most is face! Isn't he just looking for death?"
Not just him, even Sleepy Emperor of Lighthouse Country had a strange expression!
No way! Is he really that brave? I originally thought The War God of Yan was unrivaled under heaven, but whose general is this? To be so bold?
Most of the people on the scene were caught up in the auction atmosphere and didn't notice anything for a moment! Only a few sharp-eyed ones saw Qin Yang's darkened expression! Their mouths twitched instantly!
Big brother! Don't you know whose price you're lowballing?
"Hehehehehe!"
At that moment, a series of low laughs from Qin Yang pulled Steven back to reality. Steven's expression suddenly changed! Holy crap! He had just been blinded by money and forgot that this was Qin Yang's turf!
Qin Yang's expression suddenly brightened as he said, "Not bad! The representative of Great Eagle Country! Hmm! Steven! Choosing to add ten million! Bidding sixty million to take this bomber! Does anyone have a higher bid?"
Steven's eyes widened instantly! No! You're extorting me?
Qin Yang's eyes turned like knives, staring fixedly at Steven. With a smile on his face, he said, "What? Do you have something else to say? Or do you want to raise the bid further?"
*Gulp!*
Steven swallowed hard! He had a premonition that if he had said even one more word just now, he would have died on the spot!
Although his life was saved, the money was gone! When he got back, wouldn't the President tear him apart!
He had thought he would be the biggest winner of the night; now, he had directly become the biggest sucker in the room!
The fourth plane was taken for thirty-five million US dollars! The country that won it was not one of The Five Permanent Members! They breathed a sigh of relief!
As expected, as long as it wasn't lower than Qin Yang's psychological expectation, it was fine! Looking at it this way, Qin Yang was actually a decent person! If Great Eagle Country hadn't used its power to pressure him, perhaps it could have been taken for thirty million or so!
Qin Yang smiled and said, "Next is the highlight! I won't set a starting price! I believe in everyone's strength!"
As the latest stealth fighter jet made its appearance, the auction reached its climax!
"Fifty million US dollars!"
"Seventy million US dollars!"
"Eighty million US dollars!"
"One hundred million!"
"One hundred and fifty million US dollars!"
The sudden increase of fifty million US dollars caused the restless crowd to fall silent. Then they looked at the person who made the bid! Instantly, everyone understood what was going on!
Wasn't this Israel, the top lackey of Lighthouse Country? That wasn't surprising! Lighthouse Country couldn't participate, so they let their lackey buy it back! It was very logical!
Qin Yang didn't care at all and said with a smile, "Good! Since no one is raising the bid, it's sold to Israel for 150 million!"
