"11 million pounds!" The eyes of the Russian envoy Sovitz turned red.
The Russian Empire was not rich at this time.
In other words, the Russian government was not rich. They had already borrowed a large sum of money from the Gauls.
"Twelve million pounds!" The Gaul Minister raised the price again.
One had to know that the Gaul Kingdom of this era was known as a usury country.
Although their industrial development had begun to lag behind, they were very successful in finance. They had borrowed a lot of money from other countries and made a lot of money.
The envoy of the Sun Never Sets, Sir Julidian, frowned.
This price seemed to be too high.
If the Gauls obtained the patent license, then with the relationship between the Empire of the Sun Never Sets and the Gaul, it should not be a problem to obtain the drug.
However, if the Germans obtained the patent license, they would never be able to obtain this drug.
" Thirteen million pounds!" The envoy of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets, Harhausen, made a bid with a dark face.
He looked at Yuan Kewen with an extremely resentful gaze.
After all, the Germanic Empire had given Yuan Kewen a lot of support, and had even provided him with a loan of 500 million marks! Yuan Kewen had a good thing like sulfuric acid, but he didn't cooperate with them. Instead, he sold it. He didn't treat them as friends.
Of course, Yuan Kewen did this for the sake of profit.
"14 million pounds!" Sir Julien spoke.
The Gaul envoy wanted to continue bidding. However, Sir Julien gave him a look.
Being experienced, she immediately understood what he meant.
In order to resist the powerful Germanic Empire, Gaul needed the support of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets. Therefore, they had already become diehard allies. Naturally, they could not offend the people of Sun Never Sets.
The Russian Empire's envoy, Sovici, wanted to continue bidding.
However, this price was already beyond the ability of the Russian Empire.
"15 million pounds!" Minister Harhausen still refused to back down.
He knew that he couldn't lose the license no matter what.
Next, it became a competition between the Sun Never Sets and the Germanic people.
In the end, the price rose to 20 million pounds, and the Germanic people reluctantly withdrew.
The Sun Never Sets People bought the European license for the sulfuric acid at a price of 20 million pounds.
However, Sir Julien had already made up his mind. Next, he would join forces with the Gauls and jointly fund the authorization. The profits from the sale of the sulfuric acid produced would be split equally between the Empire of the Sun Never Sets and Gaul.
In this way, not only could they obtain the greatest benefits at the lowest cost, but they could also become closer allies.
"Thank you for the generosity of the Sun Never Sets Empire. Next, it was the American region's license auction. The starting bid is also one million pounds!" Yuan Kewen's heart was already bursting with joy.
Twenty million pounds was equivalent to eighty million taels of silver! This was a huge sum of money.
"The Lighthouse Nation offers one million pounds!”said Jia Leheng, the envoy of the Lighthouse Nation.
He believed that no one would compete with him. After all, the Lighthouse Nation was the only powerful country in the American region.
However, the envoy of the German Empire, Harhausen, also made a bid.
It was undoubtedly a huge loss to not be able to obtain the patent authorization in Europe.
However, if he could get the patent authorization in the American region, he could make up for it.
At worst, he could just sell the sulfuric acid to the Germanic Empire through smuggling channels.
"Two million pounds!" Minister Harhausen said.
Minister Jiale Heng's expression immediately turned extremely ugly. He did not expect that the Germanic people would actually jump out to compete with them.
Meanwhile, Sir Julien and Sir Pei Ge also realized that the Germans were trying to take advantage of the loophole.
"Three million pounds!" Minister Jiale Heng immediately raised the price.
"Five million pounds!" Minister Harhausen refused to budge.
One had to know that the Lighthouse Country was an emerging powerful country. Their industrial output had already surpassed the Empire of the Sun Never Sets and become the number one in the world. Naturally, they were rich and imposing.
At this time, the Lighthouse Nation could not back down.
Naturally, the number of patents for sulfuric acid in the American region was also increasing.
Soon, it rose to 10 million pounds.
Even so, there was no sign of it stopping.
In the end, the Minister of the Lighthouse Kingdom, Jia Leheng, offered sixteen million pounds to obtain the production and sales license of the sulfuric acid in America.
"Thank you for the support of the Lighthouse Country! Finally, there were patent permits in Asia, Africa, and Oceania. The starting bid is also one million pounds.”Yuan Kewen said with a smile.
"One million pounds!" This time, Minister Harhausen was the first to bid.
The other envoys seemed to understand that Minister Harhausen wanted to obtain the last patent authorization, so as to obtain the production and sales license of the sulfuric acid. They began to bid one after another to stop the German Empire.
This naturally caused the price of the last patent authorization of the sulfuric acid to continue to soar.
This was the last chance for the Germanic Empire, so Minister Harhausen would not back down.
In the end, the German Empire obtained the last patent authorization at a price of 20 million pounds.
