Chapter 13: Auction of Wisdom!

After two days of preparation, Jia Lei's auction finally began.

"Welcome to my auction, I have prepared a little gift for you, I hope you like it. Jia Lei clapped his hands and said.

In the next second, the girls of the Mansi tribe came in with fragrant black tea, and they put a pot of tea in front of each of the 13 guests.

"It's Huaxia black tea!" said the guests in surprise.

"That's right! This is Keemun black tea. Jia Lei said with a smile.

As for whether it is authentic or not, he doesn't know, anyway, this group of foreigners can't drink it.

"It's so fragrant, I haven't had such a good tea in a long time. A Hunter said.

"The elders of the Hunter tribe can like my country's tea, and I really feel so honored as a Chinese!" Jia Lei said.

The reason why Jia Lei said this is because he accidentally offended people just now!

When Jia Lei saw him, he thought that he was also a Khante Mansi, but after Sasa explained to him, Jia Lei knew that Khante and Mansi were actually two peoples, but these two nationalities lived on the same land, and people outside often made mistakes, so Jia Lei's slip of the tongue was not taken into account by the Khantes.

"This tea is a good thing, I don't know how to sell it?" asked a Nenets man coldly.

"No matter how it sells, I want to buy some and taste it! After all, I haven't drunk such authentic Huaxia tea for many years. The Komi people said.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, then I will fulfill everyone! Come on, bring the tea!" Jia Lei said.

Then Kerr walked up with 3 carved silver jars, and Jia Lei took a silver jar and opened it and smelled it.

"I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't prepare too many goods! These teas are for our own use, and the Mansi patriarch said that my friends who live in the Ural Mountains like black tea, so I can't help but cut my love...... Took them out and sold them. It's a hot spot for our auction!" Jia Lei said meaningfully.

13 people, 3 cans of tea!

There will definitely be people who can't buy it!

Several patriarchs and elders present glanced at each other, and sparks began to crackle in their eyes!

"How are you going to sell such precious black tea?" asked another man from the Manxi tribe.

"There's a saying in Huaxia that it's worth a thousand gold! So the price of my black tea is 1,000 grams of gold per can. Jia Lei said.

"Yes, the price is ok. I don't know how to increase the price?" the Nenets asked first.

"I don't lack money, and I don't lack gold! Why don't you use gems to increase the price, whoever produces the most precious gems can get a pot of tea! Let me see how strong you are?" Jia Lei squinted his eyes and said.

"Hey! Jia Lei is going crazy? As far as your father's labor protection tea issued by their unit, he sells it more expensive than gold! What price is more than gold, a pot of tea is only 500 grams, and he dares to ask for 1,000 grams of gold, is he crazy? How can anyone buy such an expensive thing?" Mo Bei complained while translating for Chen Dong and them.

"I said a long time ago that Jia Lei had a conspiracy, right? I sent you away with a 3-tael gold bracelet! Now that he is good, he dares to ask for a kilogram of gold for just a pound of tea. Xiang Xi said to Chen Dong.

"That's it, Chen Dong, you lost. Even Luo Nan thinks so.

"Don't talk about it, let me be quiet!" Chen Dong said weakly, clutching his chest.

"Actually, I don't think the people above are stupid! the boss sells things so expensive, surely no one buys them?" said Bol.

"That's it, it's not enough to ask for gold! It actually makes people increase the price of household gemstones, and foreigners are not stupid! Absolutely they won't do it!" Mo Bei said affirmatively,

It's a pity that the person above immediately slapped him in the face!

"The black tea is delicious, the tea is rich in aroma, the color is pure, it is bright red as blood, and it goes well with ruby. The Komi people first took out a ruby the size of a soybean and laid it on the table, saying,

"Oh, is this foreigner stupid?" asked Mo Bei in disbelief.

"Black tea is best drunk with milk to taste better. I think white and black tea go well together. The Nenets man took out a pure white jade plaque from his bosom and said.

"Yes, I think milk tea is the best, but I prefer bubble tea!" said another man from the Manxi tribe, pulling out a white freshwater pearl the size of a glass ball.

"I think that although black tea is good, Huaxia green tea is also the best! If I have the opportunity, I want to try both! Red and green are always the best match......" Hunter glanced at his competitors and smiled contemptuously.

A metamorphosis with the highest purity appeared in front of Jia Lei's eyes!

"Oh my God, are these old hairy people crazy? Isn't this tea a good thing at all? They can buy a sack of tea when they get anything in their hands?" Mo Bei said in shock.

"Hehe! You people really don't know anything about power. No wonder he is so good, but he can only be Jia Lei's bodyguard all the time!" said an elder from the Wuyou tribe.

"Please explain to us so that we can understand what is going on?" asked Bre at once.

"Well, I'll explain it to you......" said the elder of the Uyu tribe, and Kerr helped translate it into Chinese.

"Didn't Jia Lei say at the beginning, selling tea is just a warm-up! I want to see the strength of the buyers below......" The elder of the Wuyou tribe explained.

"But does this have anything to do with the fact that tea is so expensive?" asked Mo Bei.

"Of course, it matters, if you can't afford even a tiny pot of tea, you can't afford to buy hundreds of tons of grain. Jia Lei and they met for the first time, and they were not familiar with each other. What if after Jia Lei sold the grain to them, the other party can't get the gold to buy the grain? Jia Lei will take this opportunity to try how much strength and family wealth the other party has?" the elder of the Wuyou tribe explained to everyone.

That's right! This is a test that Jia Lei gave to the tribes who came to buy grain, if he couldn't even pass this level, Jia Lei would never sell grain to the other party.

In case the people of these tribes take the grain and don't admit it, it is impossible for Jia Lei to chase it to the deep mountains and old forests to ask for the account!

Jia Lei doesn't even know where the other party lives, okay?

Who can be the head and elder of a clan, which one is not a human spirit! Jia Lei has said everything so clearly, of course everyone will show their family background with interest.

If you're not interested in tea, show off your worth with some ordinary jewelry. If you really want to buy tea, you have to come up with real treasures to compete!

"The results are out, look!" Bauer hurriedly shouted.

Everyone looked up and saw that Jia Lei had received a alexandrite, a huge ruby and a blue diamond.

And the owners of these three gems also got a pot of tea each.

"Okay, now that everyone's warm-up is over, then our show is officially open! I announce, the auction has begun!" Jia Lei walked to the table in the middle and said.

"I still have 600 tons of grain in my hand, and now I will divide it into five auctions! Quarters of 100 tons and one of 200 tons! The starting price of 100 tons, 25 kilograms of gold or the equivalent of precious stones! Each time the price is increased by 50 grams of gold! The auction has officially begun. After Jia Lei finished speaking, he knocked the small mallet in his hand.

This little mallet was borrowed from a child from the tribe......

"I put 50 grams of gold on the mark. As soon as Jia Lei's words fell, someone immediately raised his hand to increase the price.

"Is it worth it for 50 grams of gold? I'll add 100 grams. The Komi said immediately.

"Double!200 grams!" said the Mansi man.

"When will we add it like this? Let's make a quick decision! I'll increase the price by 500 grams......" As soon as the Hunter made a move, he directly raised the price.

Jia Lei didn't look at it, and looked at the tribes below with a smile and began to compete for the only four portions of food.

"Grab it, grab it! So we can make more money. Sasa said in her heart.

****

When Jia Lei set this share before the guests came, Sasa also objected!

He felt that Jia Lei should not divide the grain into portions, but should wait until the people of each tribe arrived, and others could sell as many catties as they wanted.

"How can I do that? If I don't auction it, how can I increase the price? Rare things are more expensive! The rarer things are, the more people will grab them! As long as they are divided into clear portions, everyone will know that if they don't grab them, they will definitely not be able to buy them! If no one raises the price and competes for the auction, how can the items be sold at a good price?" Jia Lei said with a sneer at the time.

"Jia Lei, why do you divide all the grain into 100 tons?" Sasa asked at the time.

"That's just the right amount, just enough for most of the tribes that come. Jia Lei said at the time.

"Then why do you need a 200-ton one?" asked Sasa.

"This is reserved for catching big fish!" Jia Lei said with a smile.

****

"200 tons of grain, I will pay 100 catties of gold!" When it was the turn of the 200 tons of grain to be auctioned, the Nenets people directly auctioned the case and doubled the price.

"Oh, may I ask this gentleman, I heard it right, 100 catties of gold, do you really want to double the price?" Jia Lei asked with a frown and disbelief.

"Of course!" said the Nenets.

"What the hell do you want to do? How can you grab business like this? If you directly raise the price so high, how can others buy it?" said a tribe who also wanted to compete for the 200 tons of grain.

"What do I want to do? I just want to live......" said Nenets coldly.

"What do you mean by that?" asked the Mansi patriarch.

"Hmph! You actually knowingly asked, everyone knew ten days ago that a group of grain merchants came over with a large amount of grain. But I didn't expect that, they were obviously coming for our Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, but they turned a corner at the door of our territory and came directly to the territory of your Khantes and Mansi! Nenets said angrily.

"Even then, you don't have to double the price, do you?" said Patriarch Mansi.

"Come on, everybody knows what this year will look like. Of course, you Mansi tribes have bought grain from several tribes this time, so of course you don't have to worry about it! But we Nenets people haven't even bought a pound of grain, and there is still a war in the vicinity! I'm afraid that no one will come to sell grain in the future, and these 200 tons of grain are the only chance for our people to live. Said the patriarch of the Nenets.

His tribe is deep in the mountains and old forests, inaccessible and far from the city, and close to the Arctic Circle, which is about to be closed by heavy snow. In the future, even if Jia Lei comes to sell grain again, they won't be able to buy it!

Jia Lei's batch of grain is undoubtedly a relief for the Nenets people who are short of food!

"In this case, let's not fight with the Nenets, our environment here is better! Wait another month or two, we can maintain communication with the outside world, and everyone can go to other foreign merchants if they want to buy food. Why don't we give up the grain to a Nenets!, what about my proposal?" asked the Mansi patriarch.

People from other tribes didn't want to continue to increase the price, and the temperature here is a little higher, whether it is transportation with the outside world or shopping, it is much more convenient than the Nenets. Everyone was willing to do a favor and give food to the Nenets.

"Now that the auction is over, you can go back and prepare the payment! As for the ratio of precious stones to gold, you can ask Sasa of the Wuyou tribe! He will give you a satisfactory answer. Jia Lei said.

Several buyers nodded when they heard this!

"We Huaxia people have a saying, everyone who comes is a guest! I can't let everyone go back empty-handed, I have prepared a small gift for each guest here, and please don't be polite, accept it!" Jia Lei smiled yes.

Then each of these people received a basket full of steamed buns!

There were also 2 boxes of cigarettes, a pound of fruit candy, and 2 pounds of brown sugar in each basket.

Everything here is a great gift to the locals!

In addition to the basket above, the patriarch of Manxi also got a barrel of ten catties of loose liquor at 56 °C and two taels of tea leaves from Jia Lei!

This is the generous gift that Jia Lei prepared for him!

"Your gift is really so precious, especially to my heart! Especially the wine you gave me is simply the best Chinese wine I have ever drunk!" said the Mansi patriarch with satisfaction.

"If you like it, I think the climate in my hometown is relatively close to yours, and the requirements for the degree of alcohol should be similar! We northerners like to drink this kind of liquor when the weather is cold. Jia Lei said with a smile.

****

"Gold is also money, silver is also money! Gems are also money!" Jia Lei hummed the song he had changed the lyrics of, happily sorting out his harvest.

"Ruby in this red cloth bag! Sapphire in this blue cloth bag! The amount is too small, just put it in my pocket and forget it......" Jia Lei sat in the pile of gems and began to sort the gems they received, while Sasa and the others were laboriously carrying boxes of gold into the back of the jeep.

"What a bumper harvest! What a bumper harvest! This time, I finally earned back the money I donated to the people in the disaster area...... Hahaha!" Jia Lei happily touched the gem and laughed.

Sure enough, war money and national disaster money are the best to make!

Jia Lei took advantage of the chaotic opportunity of the collapse of the Soviet government and made a black fortune in the remote mountainous areas that neither the Soviet Union nor the Russian government could take into account!

Because it is your love and my willingness, plus the mountain tribes who have suffered from losses have not had much contact with the people in the city below, Jia Lei has secretly made a fortune under the nose of the government!

Anyway, now the old and new governments are fighting fiercely, even if they knew, they wouldn't stop it!

Otherwise, they will not distribute food to the below, and the tribes below will not be able to buy food themselves!

Those ethnic minority autonomous regions will definitely be in chaos!

Neither the Soviet nor the Russian side has the energy to take care of these ethnic minorities in the mountains......

Of course, not every minority they don't care about, there is one minority that is an exception!

It is now being watched by both the Soviet Union and Russia!
