"Come on, you two should drink some water first!" Qin'er handed over the cup. Dupont and Dupont hurriedly took the cup in their hands, raised their necks, and water started to flow. They didn't even have time to take a breath, so they drank a cup of water. Pour it into your stomach!
"It looks like you guys are running here at a marathon speed, right?" Guan Heng hugged his shoulders and asked with a smile, "Tell me, what is it that makes you so panicked?"
"Boss, Boss Bird and Alan's group, who were just taken to the secret prison, were all kidnapped by Laplace's men armed with live ammunition!"
Dupont staggered two steps forward and flopped down on the chair: "Uh, uh, I'm exhausted... These guys won't let you and Ding Ding go. You must be careful!"
"Well, we know!" Guan Heng had no time to think about this matter now, and then he said to Tintin and the captain: "Hurry to the auction venue, time is running out!"
When several people went out, they took Dupont and Dupont with them. According to Guan Heng's words: Although the detectives in these two bureaus are unreliable, they are equipped with guns and can be used as shields at critical moments!
"Gentlemen and ladies, we are now auctioning a confiscated property in the suburbs of this city, called Marlinspike Hall, with a base price of XXX million!"
The emcee of the auction, in a suit and leather shoes, cheerfully said into the microphone: "Those who are preparing to bid, please raise the number plate in your hand to bid. Each time the number plate is raised, the bid will be increased by 10,000!"
"Good guy, it seems that many people are eyeing the property in Marlinspike Hall!" Guan Heng held the guardrail in front of the venue's seats and raised his eyes to look at the venue: "Oh, one, two, three This... captain has many competitors!"
"Humph, this is my family's ancestral property, and I am determined to win it!" With the financial support of the professor, Captain Haddock seemed full of confidence. He sat in the middle of the venue with his head held high: "I want to see who is so bold. , Dare to compete with me!"
In the blink of an eye, the bidding for Marlinspike Hall has reached its most intense stage!
"I'll pay 3 million!!" Captain Haddock roared arrogantly. At this time, he had already called out the price for the sixth time. Several other competitors either lacked interest or were frightened by him. I was so scared that I gave up bidding long ago!
It wasn’t because the captain’s price was very high, it was just that the other party wanted to quote the number when he raised the sign. The captain’s ferocious look, like a wolf, immediately stared straight at him, scaring the other party that he couldn’t even hold the sign. Where could he find it? Do you have the guts to bid again?
At this time, a loud voice said: I offer 3.2 million! This man is a wealthy Middle Eastern oil king, about forty-five or six years old, with a big belly and a sinister face. He relies on his wealth to never give up, and is competing with Captain Haddock!
"Hmph, how dare this damn fat man meet my sharp gaze?!" The captain looked disdainful and cursed in a low voice: "Good boy, I will fight you to the end!"
Immediately afterwards, Haddock looked full of anger, held up a sign and shouted: "I offer 3.3 million!"
"Hey, Captain, you have to be more careful!" Tintin grabbed Haddock from the side and whispered in his ear: "The current price is already close to the bottom line of our reserve funds! We can't afford it. Glove White Wolf!"
"Ding Ding is right!" Guan Heng supported from the side: "The professor doesn't have a second patent to sell. He can't help us raise money anymore. You need to slow down the speed of raising the price with the sign!"
"Uh, I know!" Captain Haddock glanced at the Middle Eastern oil king who was still bidding with him in the distance. He couldn't help but feel anxious. He couldn't help but stood up and stepped forward. Who would have thought that he would bump into a passing man!
"Damn it! Are you blind?" The irritated captain raised the sign in his hand without thinking, "Do you believe I'll beat you up?" He was so frightened that he ran away!
"Okay, this bearded guest bids again, this time it's 3.31 million!" The auction emcee could see it clearly on the stage, and he said loudly: "Is there anyone else who bids higher?"
"Hmph! I'll pay you 4 million!" I was hesitant to give up, but was angered by the captain's price increase. The Middle East Oil King immediately raised the sign in his hand: "It's for you! Do you have more money than me? I Just play with you!"
"Oh my God! It's a big wok this time!" Ding Ding almost fainted when he saw this scene. He held the railing with his hands and asked in a trembling voice: "Captain, are you crazy? Why are you holding up signs randomly when you have nothing to do?" "
"I...he..." The captain was so anxious that he almost gave himself two words: "I didn't mean it. What should I do now?"
"Our offer is 4.1 million!" At this moment, Guan Heng didn't even think about it. He took the sign from the captain's hand and immediately raised the price.
"Guan Heng, are you crazy too?" Ding Ding and the captain shouted at the same time: "We only have more than three million funds, and now we have exceeded the budget!"
"It doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Thanks to me, I was prepared!" Guan Heng smiled and handed the sign back to Captain Haddock, and then said to the two of them: "Now feel free to bid, I will take care of the funding." That’s all, don’t give up the family’s ancestral property!”
The captain was uneasy, and he kept raising the sign mechanically, and began to risk his life and bid with the Middle East oil king on the other side.
In the end, Haddock won. With a sky-high price of more than seven million, he overwhelmed the confidence of the Middle East oil king, and with a slight advantage, he bid for the real estate ownership of Marlinspike Hall!
"Oh my God! What can I do to pay such a large sum of money?" Captain Haddock said bitterly, feeling that his heart was tight and swollen. He muttered to himself: "Well, that's nearly four years old." A million-dollar loss!”
"Ahhh - I will definitely go to jail for money debt!" Haddock couldn't help but feel dejected as he said this, and sat there blankly covering his head!
At this time, the auction emcee announced: “Please come to the front of the stage and receive the property ownership certificate from the real estate auction winner in Marlinspike Hall!
The sound was like a thunderbolt from the blue, causing Tintin and the captain's heads to buzz. Calculus and the Dupont brothers present could only shake their heads and sigh, expressing their helplessness!
At this moment, Qin'er, who had just ran away to nowhere, suddenly came hurriedly in the direction of everyone carrying a leather box!
"A Heng, it's just as you expected!" Qin'er walked over with a happy look on her face. She chuckled and said, "There are more than a dozen large and small gems on the scabbard of that scimitar. I sent the knife and gems to a jewelry store to have an appraiser appraise them, then sold them off, earning nearly five million in cash!"
"Look, the money is all here! Qin'er patted the suitcase in her hand, and then handed it to the captain: Well, the money to buy Marlinspike Hall this time should be enough, right?
