I kidnapped an alien civilization

There was no anxiety on Xie An's face, but a gentle smile was still on his face: Professor Li, it's like this.

Because this auction item is unprecedented and priceless, in order to avoid unnecessary disturbance. We, Forbes Auction House, deliberately set a small threshold.

threshold?

Li Mo understood what he meant, just like some private clubs will issue membership cards to restrict the entry of invalid people, but it is rare for an auction to set a threshold.

He asked suspiciously: Could it be to pay a deposit? The auction itself is a commercial activity, and this kind of threshold can only be related to money, and there will be absolutely no restrictions on age, height, weight and the like.

That's right. Xie An nodded, Every guest who receives an invitation letter must transfer 200 million US dollars in cash to the auction house's exclusive account as a deposit.

so much? Li Mo keenly noticed that Xie An used the word cash.

With the continuous development of society, many bigwigs with net worth of tens of billions have emerged in the world. But the so-called net worth of these bigwigs, including holding stocks, real properties, investment income expectations and other uncertain assets, cannot be equated with cash. There are even some superficial millionaires who have become negative after their assets have been counted and calculated.

Even in the kidnapping case of the son of a gangster that shocked the world in the last century, the kidnappers only offered a ransom of less than US$150 million to the richest man in Hong Kong with a net worth of US$30 billion.

It can be said that there are not many people in the world who can use 200 million U.S. dollars casually as a deposit, but at this time there are more than 20 such bigwigs sitting in the auction house, which shows the strength of Forbes Auction House .

How many invitations did you send out? He asked casually curiously.

30 copies, with years of professional experience, we screened out 30 potential customers.

Xie An said as he pushed open a door next to the corridor, and made a gesture to welcome in.

This should be where the auction venue is located.

There are no magnificent lights, no slim hostesses, and even no large screens necessary to display artworks. If it wasn't for the familiar faces in the audience, Li Mo even thought it was just an ordinary classroom.

No one can imagine that such a classroom is full of bigwigs with a net worth of tens of billions.

These bigwigs with their own aura can also be at ease in this rough environment, just in line with an old saying: When a person is strong to a certain level, he does not need to rely on external objects to show his identity.

On the display stand, there is a golden wooden square table, which is also one of the few furniture in the venue.

Before Li Mo even set foot on the booth, a unique fragrance came over his face. The aroma is not vulgar but not greasy, graceful and fresh, which invisibly shows the goodness of the wooden table, which is also the heritage of a century-old store.

There was no applause, no cheers, and the bigwigs in the venue just looked at him with a trace of doubt.

Just when Li Mo was hesitating whether to go on stage to introduce himself, the consultant next to him strode onto the booth and picked up the microphone that had already been placed: Welcome everyone to participate in the Forbes Auction in our busy schedule. A special auction held at the Bank.

Actually, I'm just as curious as everyone else. What kind of auction items will Professor Li Mo, the first person on Earth to land on Mars, offer?

Is it the patent of the Moxing battery?

At this time, Musk, the founder of Stella, who had been replying messages with his mobile phone in the audience, suddenly raised his head, and a gleam flashed in his sharp eyes. Although the Moxing battery has been available for less than two years, it has already occupied 99% of the new energy battery share by virtue of its unimaginable advantages. As the largest new energy vehicle manufacturer in country M, Stella contributes most of its profits to Mozi Technology every year.

Or, is it the right to use the quantum chip? Xie An is really good at mobilizing the emotions of customers. Before the words fell, Bill Gaizi, the boss of the Microsoft Group, almost stood up excitedly. As the leader of the world's largest PC software development company, he had the idea of ​​getting involved in hardware over the years, and made some attempts. They bought mobile phones, game consoles, and even music players, but they all failed under the siege of their opponents.

The emergence of quantum chips gave him a glimmer of hope. This newly constructed CPU means the arrival of a new era. If he can get the ownership of the quantum chip, or even a limited right to use it, he is confident that he can create a computer that is popular all over the world with his huge software empire.

A wise man, sometimes, just needs to be one step ahead.

Or the Navigator? Xie An had an extremely exaggerated expression on his face.

Knowing that this was just a warm-up joke, several Middle Easterners wearing white turbans in the back row had already grasped the diamond-encrusted mobile phone in their hands, and one of them even opened the bank account to check the digits of the balance.

There is a limit to everything!

Professor Li Mo will personally reveal the mystery for everyone! Seeing the excited expressions of the customers in the audience, Xie An knew that continuing to exaggerate would only be counterproductive.

pit!

Big pit!

Mozi batteries and quantum chips are the cash cows of Mozi Technology, and they will never be sold. As for the Navigator, it is even more impossible to sell it without the materials used to make the engine.

Fubi dug a big hole for himself!

Li Mo complained in his heart, but his face was full of joy. The adult world is too complicated.

Hello everyone!

I won't say anything polite, I believe everyone is very busy, and of course I am too.

His sincere words caused a roar of laughter. The combined net worth of all the people in this room is more than the GDP of a medium-sized country. Can you not be busy?

Under the gaze of more than 20 top bosses, Li Mo opened the suitcase, took out a page of paper, held it in his hand, and waved it towards the audience.

This is the item for this auction!

Just as he was about to introduce in detail, whispers in various languages ​​came from the audience.

A note?

Still blank?

Is it blank?

Li Mo looked at the paper in his hand suspiciously, there was indeed nothing blank on it.

What's going on? He turned his head and asked Zhou Dong behind him with his eyes. When he set off, he specially told Zhou Dong to print the designed pattern on it with a printer.

Zhou Dong looked at the boss's puzzled eyes, shook his head with an aggrieved face, and pouted at him again.

What's the meaning?

Misplaced?

Li Mo suddenly understood that the pattern was indeed printed on the paper. It's just that the page with the pattern on it was left in the office in a hurry.

Can you explain to them: Is this white paper the legendary chicken eating rice map?

Just when Li Mo was thinking about how to explain it, the most intelligent guests in the audience had already seen some clues. This Professor Li didn't bring the auction item!
