- Franz Kafka (Austrian novelist)

After the careful introduction of the beautiful woman beside him, Bai Feng had a preliminary understanding of the auction ceremony of Westminster Auction House, which is not only a feast for Westminter Auction House to make money, but also a comparison for the dignitaries of the imperial capital.

Of course, this understanding of the auction ceremony came from Bai Feng's own thoughts, not Martha's introduction, and Martha, who was born in a commoner, was just a maid cultivated by the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, and she didn't dare to comment so much about the auction ceremony and the imperial magnates.

After wandering around the auction house for a long time, Bai Feng, who felt a little tired, was taken by Martha to the VIP room marked with the number 27, which not only had a variety of food and wine, but also a transparent magic glass, which could make the people in the VIP room look like the auction house.

There are only a hundred VIP rooms for VIPs like this in the auction house, which means that only a hundred real imperial magnates can participate in tonight's auction ceremony in the VIP room, and other imperial nobles who are not powerful enough can only participate in the auction ceremony in the auction house.

One hundred rooms and five hundred seats are all seats at Westminster, and each row can only sit one person, and a maximum of five people are allowed in the room, effectively limiting the number of people attending the auction tonight to 1,000.

There are more than a thousand powerful nobles in the imperial capital, there are hundreds of nobles at the earl level, not to mention that they also have the children of their own families, not to mention the local nobles with real power, their family members in the imperial capital have much more power than the counts of the imperial capital!

Bai Feng, who was lying on the sofa slightly, fell into deep thought, letting Martha stand behind him and massage his forehead for himself, all his thoughts were on the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, thinking about what the true identity of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce was.

As the minutes passed, while Bai Feng was pondering, more and more imperial magnates came to Westminster Auction House with their retinues, and their entourages would be arranged by the attendants of the auction house to rest next door, and they themselves would enter the auction house alone.

For the true magnates, they can bring four of their retinue or four friends with them into the lounge, and the entrance of each room is marked with a numerical serial number along with the identity of the nobleman who entered the room tonight.

There is no low-key element in the personality of the nobles of the Celestial Dragon Empire, especially in a grand event such as an auction ceremony, how to show the power and status of their family as much as possible is a problem that the nobles are full of thinking, and they will not hide their identity.

Therefore, the No. 27 VIP room where Bai Feng is located, the door of which clearly displays the words 'Marquis of Llorente'; even if the Marquis of Llorente himself is not in the imperial capital, Bai Feng's identity is the second son of the Marquis of Llorente, so he can naturally represent the Marquis of Llorente family.

Bai Feng, who didn't know how many imperial magnates had come outside, only cared about himself thinking about things in the VIP room, and when night fell, the auction house full of nobles finally started tonight's auction ceremony, and it was Duke, the head of the auction house, who presided over the commentary.

Duke first praised the nobles who participated in the auction tonight, and then began to talk about the glorious history of the auction ceremony.

After the opening remarks of more than ten minutes, Duke did not immediately enter the official auction session tonight, but took out the Yamato Imperial treasures that Bai Feng had given him, and explained that these treasures came from the collection of a mysterious family.

As soon as the words 'mysterious family' and 'collection' came out, the nobles in the auction house were boiling, and these nobles who lived a luxurious life and had no worries about food and clothing were most interested in these things, and Duke's introduction just made them itch.

So, under the expectant gaze of the nobles, the first treasure of the Yamato Empire was carried to the auction table by two attendants, a set of Yamato Imperial samurai armor made of pure gold, with a glittering golden light and a strange and strange shape, which immediately caused the magnates to exclaim.

Duke, who quietly withdrew from the auction table, handed over tonight's auction to his gold medal auction host, who had just come out with a beautiful face and a sweet voice, and introduced the armor with a magic microphone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a special piece of armor from a mysterious family, its luxurious forging method and strange armor shape are unseen and unheard of by us, and such an armor may even be unique in the entire continent.

If any of you can bring this armor home, you will have a unique heirloom treasure, and as a thank you for your love of our auction house, our starting price for this armor is 10 gold coins!"

"Ten gold coins?!" The nobles who exclaimed in surprise did not expect the starting price of this armor to be so low!

Bai Feng, who was also slightly startled, was immediately relieved of Duke's bid price after thinking of the methods of those auction houses on the earth; the starting price is ten gold coins, but it does not mean that the transaction price is ten gold coins, the Westminster Chamber of Commerce's means of doing business are really extraordinary!

"I'll give you 1,000 gold coins!" As soon as the reserve price was released, a wealthy businessman with deep pockets directly increased the reserve price by a hundredfold! Being able to participate in the auction ceremony where the powerful gathered, this rich merchant's family property is estimated to be amazing, and a mere 1,000 gold coins is really nothing to him.

"I'll give you three thousand gold coins!" As soon as the rich merchant's offer fell, a young nobleman decisively offered a higher price.

"Three thousand five hundred gold coins!" was an offer from an older nobleman.

"Five thousand gold coins!" ......

The higher bids were all made by the aristocratic and wealthy merchants in the auction house hall, and none of the imperial capital magnates in the entire hundred VIP rooms made any bids, which made Bai Feng quite strange.

"Fifty thousand gold coins!" When the original price was still forty thousand gold coins, the rich merchant who initially quoted directly quoted the highest price.

In the silent hall, no nobleman was willing to offer a better price, and the beautiful woman who was presiding over the auction smiled and raised the gavel in her hand, hammered it down and shouted: "Fifty thousand gold coins for the first time, fifty thousand gold coins for the second time, fifty thousand ......."

"100,000 gold coins!" The sudden offer in VIP room 14 interrupted the final blow of the beautiful host, and also made the silent hall boil again, and the rich merchant who wanted to win this suit of armor decisively gave up the bid.

The nobles who can be in the VIP room are the most powerful few people in the empire, and the rights and status of these people determine that the nobles and wealthy merchants in the hall are not qualified to compete with them, which is the most basic rule in the auction house.

Only if the magnates in the VIP room do not bid, the nobles and wealthy merchants in the hall can bid for what they like, and once the magnates in the VIP room start to bid, it is not a competition that the people in the hall can mix.

"110,000 gold coins!" The nobles and wealthy merchants in the hall gave up their bids, but it didn't mean that the nobles in the VIP room would also let the nobles in VIP room 14 buy this armor;

"150,000 gold coins!" The offer in VIP Room 14 will not stop there.

"160,000 gold coins!" Well, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is VIP Room 9 deliberately provoking VIP Room 14.
