The display stand for the auction items was placed in the best light position in the hall, and the sunlight outside the window just hit the display stand directly.
At this time, two glass beads and a "fairy tear" placed on the stage shone brightly under the light, making everyone present stare blankly and reluctant to look away.
"It's such a treasure. The price is too low for such a beautiful thing. I'll pay you two hundred and forty gold!"
Seeing that someone was the first to report the price, others refused to lag behind and made bids one after another, vowing to get these two glazed beads in their pockets.
"How can two hundred and forty gold be enough? I'll pay two hundred and eighty gold!"
"Why don't I come and make up for it and just pay three hundred gold."
"Three hundred and twenty gold..."
The bidding continued like this, making Shao Xi feel a little panicked. He could never understand why two marbles became treasures in the eyes of the ancients. Being willing to offer so much gold is simply unbelievable in the modern world.
The price was raised all the way to 460 gold, and the scene gradually became quiet. Although the people who came here were all wealthy people, it was indeed a bit stressful for many of them to take out so much gold at once.
Shopkeeper Cao seemed to be dissatisfied with the current price, so he stood up and said: "Everyone! Maybe you think four hundred and sixty gold is a very high price, but what I want to say is, such a rare glazed bead, even if Even if it is the royal family, it may not be owned. Now the opportunity is in front of you. Don’t you want to seize this opportunity? An opportunity to own a royal treasure, an opportunity that is comparable to all the treasures in the world. "
I have to say that Taihe Trading Company's business methods are indeed clever. Shopkeeper Cao's words immediately heated up the scene. Some people couldn't bear it and raised the price again.
"If nothing else, I will directly offer five hundred gold. Is there anyone who can offer more than me?"
Shao Xi grinned after hearing this and thought to himself that there were so many rich people in Daliang City, Kyoto, but someone was willing to pay five hundred gold for just two glass beads. How much is five hundred gold? You have to make careful calculations when you turn around.
The price of five hundred gold was indeed not low, and many people present hesitated again.
At this moment, a man's voice caused a commotion among everyone present.
"Six hundred gold..."
Everyone present began to discuss.
"Six hundred gold? Just offer six hundred gold? Who dares to fight for it?"
"What a rich lord!"
"I don't know which family the master is from? It's really admirable to be so generous."
While everyone was discussing, Shao Xi looked at the bidder. This man was wearing a black robe and a large cloak covering his body. His face could not be seen clearly, but he could only roughly tell that he was relatively thin and his voice was not old. He was estimated to be in his thirties.
"Okay! Now someone has offered six hundred gold. Is there anyone who offers a higher price? If you want to bid, hurry up, otherwise this treasure will be obtained by this noble man."
After repeatedly confirming that no one bid, Shopkeeper Cao finally decided that the owner of the Liuli Bead should be the guest in black robe.
Shao Xi was extremely happy now, that was six hundred gold! A full six hundred gold! Just two glazed beads were sold for this money. Think about it, if all my belongings were sold, wouldn't I become one of the few rich people in Daliang City?
When Shao Xi was excitedly thinking about discussing with Lao Wu where to have a big meal later, he turned around and saw where the old guy had gone. I guess it may be urgency to urinate again.
At this time, there was only one last lot left, which was the "Tear of the Fairy". This name was given by Shao Xi, which was quite appropriate.
Anyone who has seen "Rupert's Tears" knows that not only is this thing extremely hard, but the surrounding surface will refract light, making it look like it is wrapped in a small rainbow, which is very pleasing to the eye, and these small physical and The optical characteristics have become a big deal when it comes to shopkeeper Cao.
"Everyone! This is the last item today, and it is also the most valuable item today. I have told everyone here many times about this name. Now I want to introduce to you why it is called this name? "
Shao Xi truly admired Shopkeeper Cao's trick. Shao Xi knows best why this thing is called "Tears of the Fairy". He just thought that calling it a foreign name was too unauthentic, so he chose a local name. He didn't think much about it at first, and he didn't know what Shopkeeper Cao was going to do. New tricks coming.
"The reason why this object is called 'Fairy's Tears' is not only because it is as magical as colorful rays of light, but more importantly, it is extremely hard and cannot be damaged by any knife or axe. It is the so-called condensation of fairy tears." It can be said to be a rare hard thing in the world, it is a divine thing!"
When Shao Xi heard Shopkeeper Cao's explanation, he almost slipped from his seat to the ground. This simple appearance is rapidly cooled and the physical tension is relatively concentrated. In the mouth of shopkeeper Cao, it turned into a fairy tale. This is so easy to make up!
However, I have to say that the story told by Shopkeeper Cao is really good. When the dignitaries in the venue heard that this object was a sacred object, they immediately lost their composure.
"Don't say so much, just say the minimum price. We will bid now."
Shopkeeper Cao saw that the lie he made up was effective, so he quickly quoted the lowest price.
"The base price of this item is 300 gold, and there is no upper limit. You can pay as much as you nobles have! This kind of opportunity does not come every day."
"Okay, without further ado, I'll pay you three hundred and fifty gold!"
"I'll pay you three hundred and eighty gold!"
"Four hundred gold..."
Shao Xi was panicking when he heard this. He was thinking, is it okay to defraud people of their money like this? I and Guo Youde used to make this crap a lot back then, but some of them seemed to have impurities, so they were thrown away. If all these were sold, the entire Daliang City could be bought.
The things Shao Xi sold today would have been commonplace and worthless if placed in the original world. But now it's good, it's really turning waste into treasure. Now Shao Xi really knows what it means to exchange rags for money.
Just when Shao Xi was thinking about it, the price of this "Fairy's Tears" had been raised to a full 780 gold.
Shao Xi is really panicked!
If one day someone knew that this thing could be made casually, the person who bought it would probably hire people to hunt him down all over the world. He really didn't want to sell it so expensively.
When the price reached 860 gold, the scene gradually became quiet, and everyone was hesitant whether to continue to increase the price. At this moment, the man in black robes announced the price again, shocking the audience again.
"One thousand pieces of gold..."
"boom……"
The scene suddenly became sensational.
Everyone is talking about who this person is? Why does every sale have to be at the highest price? The price he offered was such that no one in the industry could compete with it.
Shopkeeper Cao saw that the price had reached this level and did not want any other changes, so he immediately sold the "Fairy's Tears" to the man in black robe for one thousand gold.
Shao Xi never dreamed that the eye stone only sold for 280 gold that day, but the glass thing he made sold for 1,600 gold. If he had said this when he was a security guard, everyone would probably laugh at him as an idiot.
The bidding meeting ended with the final sale of "Fairy's Tears", and everyone left the venue and dispersed. Those who photograph the goods will be arranged to enter various small rooms for more private silver delivery. This is also the rule of Taihe Trading Company. Not only does business, but also keeps secrets for all customers.
Although Shao Xi also took pictures of something, he didn't have any cash on him, so he had to drink tea in the tea pavilion on the third floor and wait until everyone else had finished handing over before making the delivery with Shopkeeper Cao.
Watching from a distance, all the buyers who had photographed the goods happily left with their treasures. Shao Xi was also in a very happy mood at this time. After all, what he got today was something he had never dared to imagine in his life, so he was very patient. Waiting slowly while drinking tea.
When he saw the man in black robe leaving with the wooden box in his arms, Shao Xi knew that everyone's procedures had been completed and it was his turn.
A clerk from the trading firm came to say that Shopkeeper Cao had invited him, so Shao Xi came to Shopkeeper Cao's room.
"Shopkeeper Cao, I really want to thank you for helping me so much today. You can charge as much commission as you want. Don't be polite to me."
Shopkeeper Cao said with a smile: "Don't thank me in a hurry, thank you in a hurry! Let's finish handing over what we got today first."
With that said, he pushed a wooden box in front of Shao Xi.
"The Sky Eye Stone was sold for two hundred and eighty gold today, and Young Master, you bought a piece of soft gold silk armor, which happened to be two hundred and eighty gold. The price offsets the two, regardless of calculation. This soft gold silk armor is now Young Master's. It’s yours.”
Shao Xi asked with some confusion: "Shopkeeper Cao, although the price is two hundred and eighty gold, the people who entrusted your company to sell this soft armor must have received a commission. Why do I sell the Sky Eye?" Shi, why don’t you take a commission?”
"Young master, what you said is out of touch. If you can hold the gold medal of our big shopkeeper in your hand, you are already a distinguished guest of our Taihe Trading Company. How can we charge you a commission for this first transaction today? It's all what we should do. This matter There’s no need to mention it, Master.”
"In this case, for the items I entrust your bank to sell next, I also ask your bank to draw commissions according to the rules. I accept today's favor, and there is no pretense."
Shopkeeper Cao smiled cheerfully and said: "Young Master is indeed a sensible person. If this is the case, then we will take a commission on the items sold later. Here is the 1,600 gold earned by Young Master today. Please keep it."
Shao Xi was stunned when he looked at the stack of banknotes handed over by shopkeeper Cao.
"There are also banknotes here? Shopkeeper Cao, how long have we been using these banknotes in the Central Plains?"
"Since the beginning of the Jingyuan Dynasty, there have been attempts to use this paper to print silver notes to replace large sums of gold and silver."
"Aren't you afraid of someone forging it?"
When shopkeeper Cao heard this, he smiled and said, "Master, please look at the words printed under this banknote."
Shao Xi picked up a banknote and looked at it carefully. He saw eight small characters printed on the bottom of the banknote: "Anyone who forges will be killed by all nine tribes."
"Good guy! The whole family died due to the fake."
