In the end, it was Archduke John who paid the highest price and got the belt.
He picked it up and nodded with satisfaction, then began to tie it around his waist.
Although the collision of Chinese and Western styles looked particularly weird, he didn't care at all and proudly showed it to the nobles next to him.
"Lord William, when will you return to Watt City? I will send someone to sign the transfer document of the forest farm with you then!"
Fabialo came to William with a smile and asked.
William's face was now as dark as when he returned from Africa.
This time, not only did he spend three thousand silver coins to buy back the ruby ring he gave away, but more importantly, he also threw away the important forest farm in the territory.
But in front of so many nobles making a bet, he didn't dare to default on the money, otherwise he would not be able to mix in this noble circle in the future.
At this moment, the nobles who had just bid were gathered around.
"Fabialo, if there is such a good thing in the future, don't forget us!"
"Yes, look at Archduke John's proud look, hahaha, you must find one for me if you have the chance in the future!"
"Fabialo, how many fishing grounds do you have in Porto? Are you interested in selling your catch to my territory?"
The surrounded Fabialo actually felt happy, as if he was the favorite surrounded by a group of big guys.
These nobles all knew that since Fabialo could buy one such treasure of the Tang Dynasty, he might be able to buy a second one.
Since he has such channels, it is worth them to befriend him.
Fabialo happily chatted with various lords and nobles, and made up his mind to find old Peter as soon as possible after returning to Porto.
"Sneeze!!" Old Peter, who was far away in Porto, sneezed, rubbed his nose and muttered: "Who is thinking about me? I don't know if Lord Fabialo's trip to the capital is going well."
Looking at the exquisite porcelain bowl in his hand, old Peter smiled broadly.
I didn't expect that Tang Ping would have so many good things, and it seemed like he didn't know about it yet.
Do you want to buy some more things on the pretext of going to see him, and bring some things back?
After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. I still had to see the reaction of City Lord Fabialo after he came back. If he was really interested in the treasures of the Tang Dynasty, he could just go to Tang Ping himself.
For these noble masters, they can't seem to get their things too easily.
Things that are too easy to obtain are often not cherished so much.
A peaceful period of time passed in this way, and on the Outer Anhop Island, a row of simple bungalows had been built.
As long as everyone can stay here first, there is no rush to slowly develop this island in the future.
Then the craftsmen will start building the dock for Tang Ping and the others.
The last time Tang Ping and Alaric went to Porto, they bought several fishing nets.
There are many fishing grounds in Porto, and they used the fishing nets they bought to catch a lot of fish near the island.
After the problems of food and housing were gradually solved, the residents of the island really began to have hope again.
"Why hasn't that old ruffian come yet?" Lao Cui asked beside Tang Ping. The old scoundrel in his mouth was naturally the old Peter who wanted to give away his bowl after eating.
In order to sell his chamber pot, he cleaned the chamber pot but ran outside the house to pee every night.
Tang Ping guessed and said: "I guess he is also waiting for the lord of Porto to come back!"
And his guess was indeed correct. Old Peter appeared in the castle of Porto today. It was Fabialo who had returned from the capital city who invited him.
"Mr. Peter, please sit down!"
I have to say that Fabialo is still a better person than William.
At that time, Alaric and Tang Ping gave the elder William the wine-making recipe. The other party invited the younger William to have a meal with them, but only asked them to watch from the side.
But today, in order to win over old Peter, Fabialo directly invited him to dinner.
"This is the cheese I brought back from the capital. It tastes quite good. You can try it!"
"Thank you, Lord City Lord!!"
Seeing Fabialo's enthusiasm, Old Peter knew that the matter was done. Fabialo must have gained a lot from this trip to the capital, otherwise he wouldn't have to treat himself like this.
Of course, he would not put on airs in front of Fabialo, but still remained quite respectful.
After the meal was over, Fabialo spoke out his purpose: "The Tang Dynasty tapestry belt you gave me this time is worth a lot of money. It was sold at an auction in the capital for a high price of one hundred gold coins!"
As he spoke, he proudly told Old Peter how he and Big William had bet against each other, and how the auction was going on.
This can also be regarded as his proud achievement.
"Congratulations to the city lord for taking over the forest farm in Watt City!" Although Old Peter also did business in Watt City in the past, he had no special feelings for Watt City.
"Hahaha, it's all thanks to you. Since you gave such a big gift, I won't treat you badly. From today on, all the things for the expansion of our Porto Knights will be purchased by you!"
Old Peter looked overjoyed, wasn't this his goal all along?
Although it hurts to hear that the belt given to Fabialo was sold for a full hundred gold coins, he can still make a lot of money by winning this order.
"One more thing is that when I was in the capital, I met Archduke John and others who were very interested in the exquisite products of the Tang Dynasty. I would like to ask, since you can find imperial products such as the tapestry belt, what about other Tang Dynasty products? Treasure, do you have any connections?"
Then he said something to reassure Old Peter: "Don't worry, I don't care where your things come from. I just hope you can sell them to me at the market price."
As long as Old Peter can find these luxury goods from the Tang Dynasty, even if he collects the market price and sells them at the original price without making a penny in the process, the connections and favors he gains are also very important resources.
"I came today just to show the city lord something I recently received." Old Peter brought up the porcelain bowl that had been in the box for a long time.
“This is also a ceramic product from the Tang Dynasty!!”
Fabialo's eyes lit up and he carefully took the porcelain bowl and started playing with it.
"Not bad, beautiful, really beautiful! This glaze is like a magical light, which is pleasing to the eye!"
Fabialo looked at old Peter: "I saw you right. Peter, please give me a price. I will charge you as much as you want for something like this."
Old Bi was not idle during his stay in Fabialo. As a businessman, he naturally had his own connections, and he had already inquired about the value of this bowl.
"In that case, Lord City Lord, what do you think of twenty gold coins?"
