Chapter 609: Clam King Pearl
Ten thousand taels, what kind of number is this, used to shoot this? The auction conference is not a child's play conference. It would be easy to kick out a guest who yells about whether he has the strength to pay for it.
You, a person sitting in the middle class, dare to call out ten thousand taels without any shame! Why don't you sit on the dome if you have the money?
I won’t let you walk around without food afterwards.
Mo Ai asked on the dome: "Does this person really have so much money?"
Li Ziyi glanced casually and said in a low voice: "Don't worry so much, let's think about how to persuade the two heroines - well, he will be in bad luck. He can't go bankrupt and wash dishes in Wanbao Building for a few months. .”
But the people from Wanbao Tower didn’t send anyone to verify it!
Zheng Du waited for a long time, but didn't see Wanbaolou detaining the person - he turned to look at the golden flower on the other person's chest, and suddenly felt his scalp numb.
And You Chuiyun was as stable as a rock there. It wasn't him who was rich, but Wanbao Tower who was rich. Baili Dongfeng had visited him personally, told about the relationship between his daughter and him, and also asked some tentative questions.
When he learned from Master Jianzheng that his daughter was indeed determined to start a new business, the business tycoon seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
"I didn't expect that I, Baili Dongfeng, would be ruthless in business. I thought that no one could compete with me, but I didn't expect that in the end my daughter would no longer be of the same mind as me."
"Mr. Baili, have you ever thought that this is actually a good thing?"
When it comes to enlightening such a shrewd person, You Chuiyun can only give it a try: "It's not necessarily a bad thing if the eggs are not placed in a box."
Baili Dongfeng narrowed his eyes, not wanting to expose the family scandal. He appropriately expressed his attitude and brought out Jian Zheng's words. It was enough: "I hope Mr. Jian Zheng will take good care of my daughter in the coming days."
"That's natural——"
When Baili Dongfeng left, he handed over the invitation and promised You Chuiyun that as long as it was not the King of Clam Pearls, no matter what kind of object was involved in the auction, You Chuiyun raised his hand wearing a golden flower, and all the expenses would be borne by Wanbao Tower.
Ten thousand taels was Baili Dongfeng's greeting gift to Jian Zheng.
This number is already an astronomical figure. It can buy ten houses under the imperial city... But for You Chuiyun, it feels ethereal. You must know that nominally he still owes one hundred thousand taels of silver to Nantianmen. .
"make a deal!"
The hammer dropped and patted, and the things were delivered to You Chuiyun... The waiters carried brocade plates, and under Zheng Du's eyes, You Chuiyun accepted them, and You Chuiyun also took off the golden flowers on his chest. , replaced by a relatively ordinary violet.
Taking a closer look, this thing is a smooth and shiny wooden stick - er, as long as a forearm.
You Chuiyun rubbed the object in his hand twice... Sensing Zheng Du's gaze, You Chuiyun put the object in his arms, but turned his head and saw Zheng Du looking straight ahead, sitting upright, as if he had never looked over before. .
On the other hand, the other children of the Zheng family were all red-faced and angry... But they were not that stupid. If the other party could afford ten thousand taels of silver, his status would definitely surpass that of everyone in the Zheng family.
Facing such a wealthy person, at least you can't offend him openly——
"Wait and see how our Zheng family deals with you -" the arrogant man muttered in a low voice: "It doesn't matter which big shot you are, the sack is covered and you are surrounded and beaten. Who knows it was us."
"Zheng Wen! Are you crazy? Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you." Zheng Xiaohong warned.
It turns out that this arrogant and arrogant person has a name that is inconsistent with his character, Zheng Wen.
Zheng Wen was dissatisfied with being shouted at, but when he looked up and saw Zheng Du's expressionless face, he finally held it back.
…
"I have said so much, but I can't argue with others about useless things like a little girl, right? Miss Baili."
"Oh, how can it be useless? There is nothing more important in the world than love. Don't you see those beautiful heroes in the world, how many are romantic, but they are trapped by love, and they are depressed all their lives."
Baili early autumn is not at all
Blushing, she has developed a broad mind over the years, and her magnanimity is better than that of many men: "So I, Baili Chuqiu, will never dwell on this issue. Once I fight for it and win, I will never let it go. Otherwise, I will still How do I get out of my father's shadow? My ambition of a hundred miles in early autumn cannot tolerate half a day of sand."
Her words made some people present feel ashamed and ashamed.
Bai Qicai said faintly: "Your words also revealed what was in my heart."
Baili Chuqiu turned her head and looked at this cold woman again, whose appearance, figure, and temperament were not inferior to her own.
"Then - in life, everyone depends on their own abilities?"
"Each one depends on his ability..."
"why are you laughing?"
Bai Qicai shook his head and said, "He and I are friends of life and death, and we are friends in times of adversity. You can't compare."
"Sister, there are no absolutes in the world - I am a businessman and I always know how to make plans."
Bai Qicai looked at Gao Shan and others: "Does your Baili sister often send supplies to the mountains and win you all over?"
Li Ziyi was about to wave his hand and say no, but was poked in the elbow by Guo Huai. Only then did Li Ziyi remember that Bai Qicai was also the one who often took care of them.
"Sister Baili lived in the mountains for a while... naturally she has feelings..."
Gao Shan can't let go and scold his mother. Even though Senior Sister Bai is already their recognized sister-in-law, no one would mind having another rich and generous sister-in-law.
right.
Hey hey hey.
Just when the two women were about to bicker for an hour, they finally heard the news about Ben Wang Zhu.
"The auction item below is what everyone has been eyeing...the Clam King Pearl, a tribute from the Sea Clan to the current Holy Emperor, symbolizing the authority of Daxia and conquering all the barbarians from all over the world! This is His Majesty's supreme reward, and it is also a daring loyalty to His Majesty's new dynasty!
If you take this photo, you will be the most patriotic citizen of Daxia, and you will be summoned by His Majesty. "
Everyone opened their eyes wide and saw the phoenix flying down again. Unlike before, this time the phoenix took the shrunken pearl into its mouth.
Although this pearl is condensed to the size of a palm, the waves of the ocean and the patterns of the sun still form bright red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple on the pearl...
This is the most beautiful treasure, a beauty that makes people forget to breathe... Unlike humans, it is pure and beautiful because it has no thoughts.
"Starting price……"
After the shopkeeper said these three words, he seemed to take a deep breath: "Three million taels of silver. The price increase will start at 100,000 taels."
"Wow——"
There was an uproar... Three million taels of silver. This figure accounts for one-third of the tax revenue of the entire Daxia country. It seems that many wealthy businessmen have this worth... But the scary thing is that what he wants is cash. ... There may not be anyone in Daxia who can take out one million taels in one breath without blinking an eye.
Therefore, basically those who come for the Beng Wang Pearl are all from the Chamber of Commerce... As the new emperor ascends the throne, we are not the giants like Wanbaolou who collude with Si Tianjian, so they can only work hard on the Beng Wang Pearl. I heard that I could meet the Holy Emperor directly and get preferential treatment, so I had to spend a lot of money to buy the Clam King Pearl and gain the Emperor's trust!
Maybe, the emperor is watching all this from the dome!
So, show up!
A representative from a large chamber of commerce loudly shouted: "Three million and one million taels. No, three million and one million taels!"
call……
The people at the bottom and middle class were almost frightened. This number was so horrifying that it could even help the refugees in half a state and feed them for ten days and a half.
Is this the strength of the top chamber of commerce...
"Three million and a half million taels!"
Doubling it - this is not a pure number, behind this number is the background and strength of the empire's merchants.
And the person who is more solemn than everyone else, with a face as deep as water, is in the dome private room, next to the Emperor of Great Xia - the demon princess Wei Ya... She is literate and has a certain understanding of the country's economy... when
She was already shocked when she knew the starting price of the King Clam Pearl, but what shocked her even more was... counting, no less than ten chambers of commerce were jointly bidding for the King Clam Pearl.
In other words, there are at least ten consortiums in Daxia that can spend three million taels or more - which reflects the economic strength of Daxia country. Compared with the demon country, it is simply dwarfed.
Therefore, the higher the bid, the more solemn Weiya's heart became, and even the Duke of Ross next to her looked confused.
"Your Highness, this..."
Wei Ya made a shushing gesture, indicating that the wall had ears, and then Duke Ross put his hand on Wei Ya's shoulder.
"Your Highness is offended... I want to say, if Daxia is so rich, why is their military power so weak?"
"I know you may not like this, Your Highness the Duke - we were able to break through the northern border at that time, firstly because Wang Xuanba was not there, and secondly because it was the internal strife of the Daxia people that gave us an opportunity to take advantage of -"
"Your Highness, you mean that Daxia is actually far scarier than what we see?"
"Yes... the reason why our demon kingdom has existed for millions of years is probably because our land is too barren. On the contrary, the human race is unwilling to get involved. They just build walls and the Great Wall on the border and do not allow us to come and go freely."
"Your Highness Princess...?" Duke Ross gave her a meaningful look.
"What I want to say is... I actually had a fear of war just now - these days, when I came to the territory of the Daxia human race, I realized how terrifying this country is."
——
The price has already been shouted at five million taels. If the price is raised any higher, it will not please His Majesty, but will make His Majesty jealous... So the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce did not dare to shout.
In the end, the Clam King Pearl was sold for 5.1 million taels... and the Chamber of Commerce, which won't be able to sell this Clam King Pearl in the future, will become the new favorite of the royal family, and everyone is happy.
"I want this clam pearl so much, but it's a pity that my father won't allow Wanbaolou to take action - otherwise I will definitely embroider it on my most beautiful clothes."
