Chapter 446: The Golden Crocodiles

The competition continues and it is getting fiercer!

In a blink of an eye, the price of this gold nugget has reached 65 million U.S. dollars, the price was Rick that called out and this is their upper limit of quotation!

Once this price is surpassed, they could only retreat sadly and watch the Canadian national treasure fall into the hands of others and become other people's private collections.

After raising the price, Rick and the others immediately began to look around, staring at the gold crocodiles and the super rich.

They wished that others would withdraw from the competition and no one would raise the placard again, so that they could get what they wanted and bring this rare piece of gold nugget back to Canada and Dawson!

However, things backfired!

The many gold giants and super rich people in the auction hall are the ones with deep backgrounds and powerful strengths! How can they care about the Canadian Ministry of Mines? It is even more impossible to take the little Mayor Dawson to heart!

This huge piece of nugget gold in front of them is a miracle of the North American gold industry. It is a national treasure. It has extremely high research value and great symbolic significance!

Such a treasure is placed in front of them to allow everyone to compete fairly. How can many buyers on the scene miss such a godsend opportunity?

Compared to this piece of gold nugget, the U.S. dollar is the least important thing!

As for the Canadian Ministry of Mines and Dawson City, whoever will take care of them as far as possible!

"68 million dollars, Anthony!"

The Wall Street Morgan Mining investment team took the shot and did not hesitate in the bidding.

Hearing this offer, Rick and the others immediately fell into their respective seats and everyone was desperate! Such as bereavement, despair!

That's it!

This nugget has nothing to do with Canada! In the future, it will become the private collection of a certain famous collector, or the capital of a certain gold giant to show off to the outside world!

In the future, they will not see this piece of gold nugget. The only content related to Canada is probably the area where the piece of gold nugget was found!

Compared with the two Canadian Ministry of Mines officials, Rick is even more desperate.

He understands that with the loss of this piece of gold, his political career is over!

When he return to Dawson, he will surely be overwhelmed by the raging anger of the people of Dawson City and the upcoming election of the next mayor will be completely useless!

The people of Dawson City will never forget that this piece of gold nugget was lost on his term of office and competitors will never let go of this perfect handle, they will definitely bite on it!

He also want to take the opportunity of taking back this nugget to go further in politics. Now it seems that it is just a castle in the air, which is beyond sight!

And who caused all this was the bastard standing in the first row! It was he who ruined his political career!

Thinking of this, Rick's eyes suddenly became blood-red and blood was about to rush out! And the look in his eyes staring at Ye Tian's back has become even more spiteful!

But what can be done? He could only stare at Ye Tian bitterly and couldn't do anything!

Unlike Rick's group and their despair, the rest of the competitors are full of hope at this time and their fighting spirit is high!

Immediately after the Morgan Mining investment team, Canadian Gold Company and Barrick Gold Company shot out one after another and also joined the ranks of competition and the competition has become more intense.

"My dear, it's 75 million dollars now. It should exceed your reserve price, right?"

Betty asked carefully in a low voice, very excited.

Regarding the reserve price of this piece of gold nugget, Ye Tian did not disclose it before, including Betty, this is for the need of confidentiality, but also to capture greater benefits.

Hearing Betty's question, Ye Tian's face immediately burst into a bright smile.

"That's right, dear! The price has exceeded the reserve price. The reserve price I set is 60 million US dollars, which is a bit low! I obviously underestimated the determination of these gold giants!

But it doesn't matter. As long as the reserve price is not announced, these buyers will always have no bottom in their hearts. They don't know how much is the price is appropriate. For the sake of insurance, they can only continue to push the price higher!

This situation is of course what I want to see the most. The fiercer the competition between them, the more dollars I can make. Next, we just need to wait for the auction to end and then we can celebrate!"

Betty stunned for a moment, then chuckled and whispered:

"My dear, you are so bad. With such a reserve price that no one knows, everyone is counted. These gold giants are about to be taken advantage of!"

"Hahaha, the most important thing they need to start a gold company is the U.S. dollar. They can't spend enough money. They don't care about this little money. It's not bad to contribute more to me!"

Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice, eyes full of triumph.

While talking, the price of this gold nugget has soared to 86 million US dollars.

When Anthony announced the price of 88 million US dollars, someone immediately responded and another gold crocodile joined the competition.

"90 million dollars, Anthony!"

The placard is from Johnson, chairman of the Chicago Gold Futures Exchange, a super heavyweight player!

Johnson's voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm, loud and imposing.

Hearing this quotation, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and looked back.

When he saw Johnson, the golden giant also looked at him and then the two smiled at each other, nodded and greeted each other.

Clement and Perez, who were not far away, also turned their heads to look behind and cursed in a low voice.

"Damn it! That old fellow Johnson actually got involved. It's a bit bad!"

"That's right, the old guy likes to fight us. It is not easy to win this nugget gold today. It must be a high price to let Steven benefit!"

Peers are enemies!

The New York Metal Exchange and the Chicago Gold Exchange have always been rivals and there is a competitive relationship in almost every field. Naturally, the relationship between the two exchanges' senior executives will not be harmonious!

In addition, Scott and the others from Barrick Gold Corporation, representatives of Newmont Gold Corporation and several guys from the Morgan Mining Investment team also turned their heads and looked behind.

When they saw that it was Johnson raising the price, their faces suddenly became very solemn and the big thing was not good!

The old man behind is super cruel! Leading the Chicago Gold Futures Exchange, he is a man of great promise in the gold industry and he is extremely powerful!

Can their own gold company beat him? Estimated to be choking!

Even if they can repel this old guy, does their company dare to do that? Do the company executives have the courage? No one knows?

But this was only the beginning and soon, a more ruthless super predator entered the battle.

"No. 60 bid for 90 million U.S. dollars. It is Mr. Johnson of the Chicago Gold Futures Exchange. Welcome to Sotheby's Auction House. Thank you for joining us. It is a great honor!

The current price is 92 million US dollars, 92 million US dollars, which lady or gentleman bids? Please raise your bid number plate, don't miss this opportunity,..."

Anthony raised his hand and gestured to the audience, and continued to shout passionately.

Seeing Johnson, a super predator bidding and participating in the competition, Anthony suddenly became more excited, as if he was hit by blood!

Today, he might be able to create a record of his auction career. If so, it would be perfect!

The situation is developing in the direction Anthony expected and another supporter appears.

"100 million dollars, Anthony!"

The sound came from the first row of the auction hall. Although not very loud, it was very shocking.

Ye Tian looked to the side for the first time, nodded to Clement and Perez, thanking them for their support.

At the same time, he clenched his fist and shook it lightly, secretly celebrating!

The first is to celebrate the price of this nugget gold successfully breaking through 100 million and the second is to celebrate the addition of a super predator. The next competition will be more fierce and he will earn more!

"Damn it! It's Clement of the New York Metal Exchange, we are out of play!"

Scott whispered to his colleagues around him, his face full of frustration and regret.

Like him, representatives of other gold companies also saw the situation in the first row!

Seeing that it was Clemente raising the price, the representatives of these gold companies were also desperate, knowing that their company was completely out of luck with this piece of gold!
