I don't know how long it took, but the beautiful girl finally finished speaking, glanced around with her big beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "The auction starts, the starting price, 100,000 silver coins!"

This price code immediately caused an uproar in the exchange.

"One hundred thousand?!"

"It's just that the starting price is so high"

This group of gentlemen, real or fake, some took off their top hats, some silently clenched the crutches in their hands, stared at the lustrous and warm ivory carvings on the display table, shook their heads and sighed.

The people who sigh and babble are all masters who have no money, and the real rich businessmen are all peaceful, quietly waiting for the price to be raised.

After two minutes of commotion, the exchange quieted down again, looking at the people in the audience, the girl pursed her lips and said with a disappointed look: "Didn't any bold gentleman raise the price?"

In other words, you are so cowardly.

I don't know if I've been waiting for a long time or if I want to get the heart of a beauty, and finally a sonorous voice sounds.

"I'll give 110,000 silver coins!" the man, who was no more than thirty years old, raised his arms and shouted, and after shouting, he looked around with the corner of his eye, looking proud.

The local merchants of Venice knew that this was an unfamiliar face, and it must be a new boy, who did not know the height of the sky.

The man's smugness stayed on his face for only two seconds, and someone stepped up.

"120,000 silver coins!"

Followed by.

"Two hundred thousand!"

After that, there was a brief silence in the hall of the exchange, and then it quickly boiled.

soared directly from 120,000 to 200,000, this kind of courage made the beautiful girl on the stage can't help but raise the corners of her delicate mouth, and gradually, it rose to the arc of admiration.

The man who spoke was a well-known wealthy man of Venice, who owned several castles and estates in the countryside, and had eight wives, all of whom were beautiful young women, and when they sailed together in small boats through the staggered river, pointing to the scenery on the shore and laughing, the men on the side of the road would turn their heads to peek, whether their wives were around or not.

200,000 yuan, although it has not reached the psychological price of Thomas's old gentleman, can also be collected, and this price is just enough to pay off the gambling debts owed by his son.

Thinking of his son, he clenched his fists in anger, if it weren't for that bastard thing, how could he be willing to sell the ivory carving given by his friend!

He lowered his head and sighed, rubbing his delicate little pipe, and was about to take a puff, when he suddenly heard a voice: "I'll give 250,000!"

Following the voice, it was the young man from before, his expression was still so proud, in the eyes of everyone, it was purely youthful and arrogant.

Two hundred and fifty thousand, and if it goes up, it is not a small amount, the rich man frowned, raised his eyes to look at the ivory carving, and carefully considered whether he wanted it or not.

After a long time, he couldn't raise the price, so the beauty of the exchange came to the center of the stage with a smile and announced in a coquettish voice: "Then, this treasure is"

"Three hundred thousand!"

The rich man's almost roaring shout once again set off the ** in the exchange.

"Wow!"

"Awesome, awesome!"

"Our Tulun lord is really not ordinary, let that foreign boy see the strength of our Venetians!"

In addition to these astonishing, pompous merchants, there were a few who lay firmly in their chairs, unmoved.

Those are the real bigwigs, with all the family property from Eastern Europe or West Asia, they are reluctant to raise the price, not too expensive, but not interested, this kind of ivory carving is not the first time they have seen it, in the eastern Celestial Dynasty almost every dignitary family has it, it is not very rare.

In the corner, Hans couldn't stand the crazy expressions of the crowd, and whispered, "I really want to shoot them!"

"How many can you shoot in one shot?" Santiago continued to stumble upon him.

"I'm collapsing one by one!"

Zheng Fei ignored their noise, touched his chin, and his eyes swept over everyone in the exchange.

The one in the wool coat, who sat there without speaking, and played with the agate ball in the palm of his hand, was probably a rich man.

The one standing in the easternmost part had a fierce look in his eyes, and his hand was always unconsciously placed on his waist, most likely a bodyguard, with a short-barreled musket pinned to his waist.

Gradually, perhaps because they felt that they had been showing off their surprise too boring, the merchants finally calmed down.

The young man who had called 200,000 yuan before, with a blue face, suddenly showed an indifferent smile after the exchange returned to quiet, whistled at the beauty on the stage, and said flatly: "I will increase the size, 500,000 silver coins." ”

The beauty blinked, pushed the long hair in front of her forehead behind her ears, as if questioning his strength, and asked confirmatively, "How much did you say?"

"Five hundred thousand!"

The high-pitched voice penetrated everyone's ears, and the young man's smug expression did not decrease, and he also crossed Erlang's legs, not at all like a person who could take out 500,000 silver coins.

It can even be said that he doesn't even look like a businessman, but like a prince who has become a red face.

"Do you mean 500,000?" the beautiful woman bit her lips and looked puzzled, unable to believe her ears, as did the others.

"That's right. ”

With that, the young man got up from his seat, swept around, and repeated, "I'll pay 500,000 silver coins for this ivory carving!"

The decisive tone caused a brief silence in the transaction, and then, the pan was fried instantly.

The questioning voices of the merchants, the incredible shouts, seemed to tear off the roof.

"What's this guy's way from?!"

"Look at the way he looks! he can't take out 10,000 silver coins, can he?!"

As a seller of ivory carvings, the old gentleman Thomas almost fainted with happiness, and after being helped by someone, he lay on the seat with an uncontrollable smile on his face, and even the ink-black crutch he had been holding was thrown away, and he trembled with excitement.

Half a million silver coins may not be much in a big port like Venice, but in some small towns, it is enough to become a figure second to none, and Thomas is looking for a small town to retire in lately.

Hearing this price, the most excited person was Zheng Fei, except for Thomas.

The ivory carving on the stage and the mammoth tusk in his hand are simply the difference between an apple and a watermelon.

This can be sold for 500,000, and 2 million for mammoth ivory is considered less!

He smiled, and with a casual glance, his smile suddenly froze.

The easternmost man, taking advantage of the commotion, quietly left his seat and climbed up to the second floor, avoiding everyone's attention, and reached out for his musket to try to aim at the young man.

The distance was too far for Zheng Fei to stop.

"Bang!"

It was not the sound of gunshots, but the door being kicked open, and dozens of soldiers with muskets on their backs rushed in to stand in line, and then the appearance of a man immediately aroused the awe of the merchants.
