This matter is not considered a secret, even if Clarence didn't tell it, Zhou Xiuwen would probably tell a few people about it in a few days as a new talking point, so Clarence didn't hide it and mentioned it to the two of them.
However, a few people knew too little about the internal fighting within the legion, or it should be said that they knew that there was little room for discussion, so they only mentioned a few words and then stopped talking. Several people were quickly distracted by other things.
"Auction?"
"Is there such a thing now?"
"?"
The three of them looked at each other, lowered their heads and continued to read the pushed report.
"No, whose idea was this? Why is there still such an old activity now? Where did Sihai Trading Company find out the old almanac to sell as a gimmick? I think they have forgotten the bloody disaster in 1932 Right?" Hillman was speechless for a while, almost poking a hole in the non-existent display screen of the optical brain.
"It wasn't his idea. Pay attention to the co-sponsored name at the end. The water is very deep." Clarence frowned.
Jiang Hui glanced at this report quickly, and his mind was filled with questions. Isn't it just an auction? Why did the two of them react like this when they heard about the auction? Then the reports also had all kinds of exclamation points, using various words like 'once in a million years' and 'extremely rare' to describe it. Did she miss something?
The conversation is still going on over there.
"The consortium on the southeastern front, the major family groups in the west, various organizations, political circles, and military forces are all willing to testify for this auction. What is this auction?
" I'm afraid it's really a great thing. "
The two looked at each other, and both smelled the bloodshed hidden in this unusual movement.
". Well, someone can explain to me why you are interested in the auction. Are you all so surprised? "Someone next to him who had been listening at a loss finally couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Hillman was really surprised, and then he thought about it. Jiang Hui was born in an ordinary family, and his parents died early. , it is not easy to grow up at a young age, and there are many things without the guidance of elders. It is normal to not understand such things.
But without waiting for him to say anything, Clarence took the first step to solve the puzzle for someone who was confused.
It turns out that events like auctions have been a thing of the interstellar calendar for many years. Auctions are a type of transaction set up in the old human era for goods that are difficult to price and are extremely scarce. They are popular among the upper class and are very popular.
Later, in the interstellar world, although humans have changed a lot, they still adopt some practices from the old era. Especially after some rare resources were developed, auctions became more and more prosperous in certain eras, and famous large business houses and consortiums continued to compete to hold them.
But this trend came to an abrupt end in the Seventh Star Era. This was the bloody disaster of 71932 that Hillman just mentioned. This matter is also complicated to talk about, involving many forces and hidden connections, which cannot be explained in words. In short, many people died due to the blood disaster, and many of them were carefully trained descendants of the major forces. After this incident, hundreds of forces started fighting, which was quite chaotic.
As soon as this matter came to light, the ruling bureau convened a meeting in advance to discuss this special issue and set a series of restrictions on the auction, thus abruptly stopping this unhealthy trend. But since then, the auctions have gradually disappeared due to many restrictions, except for some dark venues that are not on the stage, and have become a record in history.
But now Sihai Trading Company is holding an auction in a grand manner and breaking the "taboo" under heavy pressure. What is the intention?
Is this the case in the Interstellar Auction?
This was the first time Jiang Hui had heard of this, and he was a little confused. She didn't expect that the interstellar people could be so capable, pretending to be an auction and selling things, they could kill people.
This is something she doesn’t know. Money can move people’s hearts, not to mention the priceless rare treasures that are far above ordinary property. When something like this appears in front of people, whether it belongs to them or not, they will finally be able to If you can't get it, it will stir up the dark thoughts of some people, and it is not surprising that it will eventually lead to catastrophe.
The whole thing can be summed up as a huge failure of the auction held by the interstellar people before, which made everyone have a shadow and doubts about this kind of activity, so no one was willing to hold it. Somehow this time, this big organization called Sihai Commercial Bank took the lead in handling it again. I don’t know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, but now everyone in the interstellar is watching.
“It’s probably the trick of that group of people again. The military and political circles have been in a period of instability recently, and the front lines are also in turmoil. I guess it’s an unknown force trying to find a way out. I just hope they can cause trouble. It's better to be smaller and stop involving innocent people." This "again" is very spiritual. Several people are accustomed to knowing the sinister nature of those politicians and have even experienced it personally. They always feel uncomfortable when they hear about such incidents. What a wonderful feeling.
"Well, of course, such a grand event is quite interesting. I have never been to such an occasion. I don't know if it will happen again in the future." Hillman said with some regret. He looked at the time and saw that the auction would be during his on-campus orientation training not long after, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Even if you do this time, your grandfather will not let you go." Clarence stated as if he was deliberately breaking someone's fantasy.
"Hey, hey, that's too much! Just think about it, I can't go anyway." Hillman said firmly: "I won't go if I don't go. Anyway, it's just a dirty trick of those adults. I want to know Just ask my big brother in the future." Although this auction is regarded as a source of chaos and full of doubts, as the next generation successor of the Hillman Group, Vitali Hillman will definitely go.
The attitude of the major forces and financial groups is also the same, so whether this auction is successful or not, it is destined to be very grand.
“But it looks like I’m going to make this trip.” Clarence looked up at his two friends and dropped such a bomb in a nonchalant manner, instantly blowing up the tough-talking person. .
"What, you want to go?! This is not fair. No, how can your family let you go?" Hillman suppressed all the irrelevant thoughts in his heart and frowned in an instant. Come. Although he wanted to go and join in the fun, to be honest, it was really for their own good that the elders did not let them go.
As Clarence said, even without high political skills and knowledge, young and ignorant young people like them can see that the water here is very deep, and there are 7The bloody disaster of 1932 is ahead. This auction is really not a good place for fledglings like them to gain experience. Hillman was just talking. Even if his grandfather really gave him the opportunity to go, he would have to consider whether it would hinder his eldest brother.
Now what Clarence means is - someone in his family asked him to go to the auction?
