Chapter 42: They Seem to Have No Money
"Three hundred and fifty gold coins!"
Valen bids again.
But the high price of three hundred and fifty gold coins still couldn't stop these people from making a move.
"Three hundred and sixty gold coins!"
"Three hundred and seventy-five gold coins!"
The green tendons on Terry's neck were exposed, and it was obvious that after buying a pound of refined salt before, the price was now almost at his limit.
"Four hundred gold coins!"
Valen still didn't give up, he only used a hundred gold coins for a pound of refined salt, relatively speaking, the pressure was not so great.
Hearing that Valen directly added four hundred gold coins, Terry shook his head with a wry smile, this is beyond the limit of what he can bear, it is not that he can't take out so many gold coins, but after taking them out, he has almost no gold coins in his hand, business cash flow is very important, otherwise the ability to resist risks is too poor.
"I give up!"
Terry has waived the price increase, and the only ones who are currently bidding on the field are Valen and Brown.
Although today's businessmen can be called big businessmen, big businessmen and big businessmen are still different, such as Wallen, Brown and Terry, the three of them are the first echelon, and the others are in the second echelon. The financial resources of the others alone are not comparable to these three people.
Seeing Terry give up, both Valen and Brown breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and now one competitor was removed, leaving only each other.
"Four hundred and twenty gold coins!"
There was a slight spark in Brown's eyes, although he and Valen were good friends, but at the moment, he would not back down.
"Four hundred and thirty gold coins!"
Valen continued to follow up without giving in.
"Your Excellency Brown, we are all so acquainted, why bother fighting, give face, and I will give you a big gift when I go back!"
"Your Excellency Valen, familiarity is familiarity, business is business, this can't be confused!"
Brown smiled and shook his head.
"Four hundred and fifty gold coins!"
As soon as this price came out, the scene was instantly quiet, Valen frowned, there were not many gold coins in his hand, he believed that as long as he bought this half catty of white sugar and operated it a little, it would definitely be a sure profit, but the problem appeared in this operation, he only had less than five hundred gold coins in his hand, and it might be more troublesome to operate after buying it.
However, Valen still didn't want to give up, he gritted his teeth and made one last bid.
"Four hundred and eighty gold coins! If you bid higher, I give up! ”
Seeing that Valen didn't seem to be faking, Brown knew that this was already his limit.
In normal times, maybe Brown will be an adult, but not now, this is likely to be the only white sugar in the country or even the world!
"Four hundred and ninety gold coins! Thank you, Your Excellency, for making it happen! ”
Brown didn't add one gold coin to disgusting people, but directly added ten, which can be regarded as enough face for Valen.
"Hey......"
Valen sighed, although he didn't want to give up, but his wallet didn't allow it!
"Four hundred and ninety gold coins for the first time!"
Blanche never dreamed that this half catty of white sugar could be sold for so many gold coins, she looked at everyone with some hope, has anyone increased the price?
"Four hundred and ninety gold coins for the second time!"
It seems that there is no more, and both Valen and Terry have given up on the bid, and since that is the case, Blanche is not inking.
"Four hundred and ninety gold coins for the third time! Deal! ”
Boom!
"Let's congratulate Mr. Brown on buying half a pound of white sugar, which is likely to be out of print, for the price of four hundred and ninety gold coins!"
Blanche is also quite thoughtful, saying that it may be out of print, as for whether it is possible or impossible, this is what Zhang Feng said.
Bang Bang Bang ~
Zhang Feng took the lead in applauding, and the businessmen began to say joy.
They are also envious one by one, anyone with a discerning eye can see that when they buy this thing, they earn it, but they don't have as much money as they have, so they can only cast envious eyes at Brown.
Brown didn't have that much gold with him, and he told the servant standing outside to fetch it.
Taking advantage of the effort to withdraw the money, Zhang Feng glanced at Blanche, and Blanche understood in seconds.
"Our auction continues, and here are some gadgets that I hope you will enjoy."
Blanche clapped her hands, and several graceful hostesses took the stage again.
Each of them carried a different object.
A kitchen knife, a long spoon, a spatula.
"You may not know much about our city lord, let me briefly introduce that our city lord is from the far east, where it is a mysterious country, like refined salt and white sugar are brought by the lord from there!"
Blanche seemed to say something that didn't matter to the auction, but the merchants were so attracted that they didn't even pay much attention to the tools on the stage.
"Far East? Is it the royal capital? ”
Some businessmen are confused.
"No, it's obviously not the royal capital, the royal capital doesn't have refined salt and white sugar!"
Brown shook his head, he bid for refined salt and white sugar and was ready to sell it to the royal capital, and he still knew a lot about the situation in the royal capital.
"Farther than the royal capital, that's the Luoyan Kingdom? Or the Gamma Kingdom? ”
"Or even further?"
The merchants all whispered, and everyone was still very interested in the origin of Zhang Feng, the city lord, but seeing that Zhang Feng didn't want to say more, they didn't deliberately ask Zhang Feng, which would only make people annoying.
Seeing that everyone was attracted to it, Blanche said again:
"And the three kitchenware I have at hand are brought by Master Zhang Feng from his hometown, and their material is not gold or silver, but a special metal, called stainless steel, which will never rust! And it is resistant to heat, high temperature, low temperature, corrosion, and wear......"
Blanche said a lot of "patience" in one breath, and the more the businessmen listened, the brighter their eyes became.
"Then it's made with super high craftsmanship! You can feel for yourself, this kind of material, this kind of process, I believe you have never seen it. ”
The hostess brought the kitchen utensils to the merchants.
Valen picked up the square kitchen knife, which was heavier than expected, the blade was shining silver, and Valen had no doubt about its sharpness.
"It's a good knife! It's a pity ......"
Valen unfortunately this knife is too small, this is a knight's sword.
Ordinary knights' swords are forged from iron, and they have to spend money every day to maintain, otherwise it won't take long for them to rust and be scrapped.
If this is a knight's sword, it will definitely sell for a sky-high price!
Spoons and shovels are much lighter than kitchen knives, and this completely different metal makes merchants a little bit loved.
After all, rarity means business opportunity.
Although the average person may not care too much about kitchen utensils, if there is a better choice, those big nobles will not be stingy with their gold coins.
"So, first of all, this stainless steel kitchen knife, the starting price is ten gold coins!"
"Twenty!"
"Twenty-eight!"
"Thirty!"
“……”
In the end, the stainless steel kitchen knife was bought for fifty gold coins, the stainless steel shovel was sold for forty gold coins, and the stainless steel spoon was also sold for forty gold coins.
At the same time, Brown's gold coins have also been delivered, looking at the golden gold coins, Zhang Feng felt that this auction was a complete success, and these few people estimated that there was not much money, so the bidding items in the back were almost as casual as they wanted.
