Cosma Empire

Chapter 337 Auction [Part 1]

After a week of rest, Durin spent the time observing the topography of the city of Otis. There are many deserted military fortifications around the city of Otis. During the Civil War, the invasion of the federal army was so overwhelming that it almost hit the hinterland of the empire. . In order to ensure the safety of the imperial capital, a large number of military facilities were arranged in Odis, a place where the north and the south are transparent. It was not dismantled after the war, and it was left idle there.

The city is basically surrounded by flat land, and there are low mountains in the east and west directions. This is why Odis is underdeveloped in the heart of the empire. The two walls cut off the east-west transportation, and there is no water transportation. The hub will definitely not be placed here.

Once any region has a star-level city, it will involuntarily draw out the human resources of other cities, and this is the case in Odis City. The young people all went to Namirindes, which is more than 200 kilometers away. It is the transportation hub in the heart of the empire. It has a huge throughput, not only land transportation, but also abundant water resources and water transportation. It is not much less lively than the imperial capital. .

After viewing the vicinity, Du Lin found the local chronicles of Odis City, and found that the land around Odis City was undeveloped and without any ownership rights. He immediately decided to hold an auction, and also notified the insiders of the New Party, as well as some wealthy people in the society, that the content of the auction was the land around the city of Otis.

When the New Party and many wealthy people learned of Du Lin's invitation, their first thought was that this guy was ill, and the illness was unclear, and his mind was already confused. To put it bluntly, it is whimsical, but to put it bluntly, it is crazy about money.

If he is auctioning off the land around Montel, Illian, or the imperial capital, he doesn’t need to invite anyone, as long as he reveals a little bit of information, soon there will be rich people gathered, and everyone wants to get it from his fingers. Order something out and lick to fill your stomach.

But what is he going to sell?

It was the city of Odis, where there were not many passers-by in the daytime. Apart from the woods, that ghostly place was probably only woods, and no one would choose that ghostly place even for hunting.

Some people took it as a joke, but others were serious, such as Alexander and Gardfield.

Du Lin couldn't be sure whether they had nothing to do to hang around, just to see how miserable he was, or they really wanted to come over to find business opportunities. He deliberately walked around the city with the two of them, and the expressions of the two gradually became more exciting. When they returned to the city hall, neither of them said anything on the way.

Soon, it was time for Durin to auction off the land in Odis City. Two staff members from the Ministry of Justice came from the imperial capital. They will strictly supervise the auction process and handle all the procedures for the winner.

No way, the only judge in Odis City is over seventy years old, and he is the only one in the judicial system. Not to mention asking him to do this, even getting him to stand up is probably very difficult, so Du Lin sent an official letter to the Ministry of Justice in the imperial capital, asking for cooperation there, so they sent two Come here personally.

The auction was held in the meeting hall of the city hall. With Odis as the core, Durin planned ten pieces of land in the area radiating out from the surrounding area, nearly 200 square kilometers, and all of them were designated for planning purposes.

Dufer, who was a guest auctioneer, came to the stage, said hello to the two staff members of the Ministry of Justice, and then smiled with the only three auctioneers in the audience.

Yes, there were only three people in this auction, and even the judicial staff from the imperial capital were laughing at the specifications and scale of the auction, but Du Lin didn't show any embarrassment on his face, instead he had a kind of embarrassment that others couldn't see. Dress confidently, as if what they are auctioning is not some barren land, but gold mines with amazing reserves.

"The first place we're going to auction is the No. 1 site in the plan, next to the railway, the total length..." After reporting a lot of data,

Only then did Dufo raise his head, "The starting price is 100 yuan, and each sign is 20 yuan. Gentlemen, you can start!"

Du Lin raised the sign in his hand, and waited for almost a minute. After no one continued to raise the sign, Duffer knocked the gavel three times, completing the first transaction. The two young guys from the imperial capital couldn't help laughing again. Such a large piece of land was only sold for a hundred yuan. It's really interesting. It's not like selling land anymore, but toys! One of the guys was a little curious, and he was going to buy a piece of land to play with. Anyway, looking at the posture, it was only a hundred yuan, which cost him more than a month's salary, but after buying this land, it belonged to him forever.

Maybe when it will develop here?

When the second piece of land was being auctioned, he raised his hand and said that he would also bid, but it was a pity that the price of this piece of land quickly rose to an unacceptable level - 1,000 yuan.

He could only withdraw his hand silently, and then cursed a few words in his heart, these three people are all lunatics!

Of the ten lands, Durin took eight, and Garfield and Alexander each took one. Regardless of whether they really want to invest here, it doesn't cost much to invest in a piece of land, but it can also sell Du Lin's face, so why not do it?

This auction with the lowest grade and the smallest scale in history ended with an offer of 100 yuan for Durin. After two staff members quickly wrote and stamped various legal documents, they handed them over to three people. One of them said with a smile: "I believe that the city of Otis will definitely develop very well. The investment vision of the three gentlemen is very wise. From now on, the land you take will belong to your private property. No one can take away these properties without your consent."

Du Lin shook hands with him, "Thank you very much for coming here despite your busy schedule, thank you very much!" He took the document bag containing a series of legal documents from the man, and handed it to Dufo, Then after thinking about it, he took out a check book from his pocket, tore off two sheets, each with a thousand dollars written on it, and threw it on the ground. When everyone in the room didn't know what Du Lin was doing, he bent down and picked up the two checks with his own name on them, and put them into the other party's pocket, "I picked up the checks just now. There are two notes, our judge is currently ill and cannot handle these things, please handle it as appropriate."

This is just bribery, but no one can find fault with Du Lin's bribery method. First of all, he did not contact the two people from the Ministry of Justice in advance to discuss the conditions, which means that there was no premeditation. Secondly, this incident happened after the auction, so there were no illegal behaviors and operations, and the results of the auction were still valid. In the end, under the "witness" of as many as five people, Du Lin did pick up the note, and he didn't say it was for the two Justice Department staff, but asked them to handle it as appropriate.

This is not bribery, but the most correct way for a gentleman with good moral character and upbringing to pick up the lost property. Even if he wants to file a lawsuit for this matter, he can't lose in the highest court of the empire, Durin.

The man was taken aback, and just about to refuse, he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled before his hands touched his pockets. He paused, glanced at the smiling Du Lin, and finally gave up his thoughts.

That's a thousand dollars!

They didn't have this money after working for a year, and they can accept this money with peace of mind. After all, they didn't break any rules for Du Lin, let alone cover up or do things that violated conscience and the law for him.

After thanking Du Lin very warmly, the two left their contact information, then turned and left. After the two left, Du Lin would say something that was not suitable for outsiders.

"To be honest, I didn't expect that you would really buy a piece of land. If I knew it was like this..."

Before Du Lin finished speaking, Alexander interrupted him, patted Du Lin's arm while smiling, "We are friends, aren't we? So when I can, as long as I have the ability, I will definitely will help you."

Garfield also said in a timely manner that as long as he can do something, he will definitely help.

They didn't just put up a sign and call for the lowest price like Du Lin did. Alexander quoted a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan, and Garfield did the same. This amount of money is not much in terms of their wealth, but it is enough to express their friendship, and it can even be said to be a bit too much.

You must know that the money obtained from these land auctions by Durin will not fall into Durin's own pocket, but will be transferred to the fiscal account of the Odis City Hall. This is the "official empire" money!

Du Lin retorted funny, "Damn, wait until I finish." He looked at Alexander and Garfield, and after confirming that they would not interrupt, he continued: "I mean, if I know that you are going to vote for one Damn, I'll just draw two smaller places! Damn, do you know how much my heart hurts right now? This is a deal worth tens of millions, and it's actually taken away by the two of you for a hundred thousand dollars!"

His expression was exaggerated, and he held his chest in pain, but this didn't make Alexander and Garfield laugh, and their faces gradually became a little more serious. There is no doubt that Dooling helped them, and they have already started to make money. Whether it is the mines that Garfield acquired in the past six months or the hotels that Alexander invested and built in other places, they have all started to operate benignly.

This also let them know that Du Lin is definitely a business genius, at least his sense of smell is very keen!

Now he said that the barren land in their hands was worth millions or even tens of millions, and they had to believe Du Lin's judgment!
