Chapter 21 The Craftsman's Path
Orlanton Dark Gold Auction House.
Zhu Ping was dressed in a pure black tuxedo, holding a sapphire-encrusted cane in his hand, and behind him stood two bodyguards who were two meters tall and had five muscle knots.
I have to say that the muscles of the bodyguard behind the big guy are equal to the mind of the maid next to him, and these are the most important cards to show his identity.
I still lack a competent female secretary...... Zhu Ping glanced at the ordinary freckle girl beside him and licked her dry lips.
Preferably sister flowers......
It's terrible, the aristocracy is too corrosive...... Zhu Ping quickly interrupted the beautiful fantasy in his mind, snapped his fingers, and Lina on his side understood the meaning, and slowly opened the box in his hand, revealing a sapphire reflecting a warm luster.
......The wooden box was closed tightly.
Zhu Ping adheres to his usual straightforward style: "Mr. Tucci, is your auction house interested in taking orders?" ”
Tucci, the president of the Dark Gold Auction House, was a thin old man with piercing eyes, and at that moment, he saw a sapphire the size of a quail egg.
Its size, shape, purity and other qualities are almost as close to the sapphire that King Orlanton wore on his head.
It's a gem!
Governor Tucci's breath couldn't help but become short, but he still maintained the etiquette of a gentleman, and said with a gentle smile: "The quality of the gems in your hands is very extraordinary, if you are sure to go through the auction channel, I will arrange it for you as soon as possible to publicize it......
The fee is normally 5%, but due to its high value, we are willing to reduce it to 1%. ”
"I see your sincerity." Zhu Ping returned with a gentle smile.
In the real cooperative transaction, there are few toss-and-over and over again, it is not a matter of being upper-class or not, and it is not called smart to talk about it for a long time, and always treat others as fools.
Not only is it a meaningless waste of time, but it also makes people feel that they can't be deeply acquainted, and they only attract disgust...... Of course, there is an exception to this rule, with regard to multi-party modern business cooperation.
Zhu Ping is very satisfied with the 1% handling fee, after all, this is the bottom line of the auction house.
The same is true of the president, Tucci, for whom it is not just a matter of money, such a precious gem is auctioned under his hands, and the fame of the president of the Orlanton dark gold auction branch has increased immeasurably.
After a close conversation between the two sides for a while, Zhu Ping shook hands with the president with a smile after taking a stone the size of a fingernail as a deposit.
"Happy working together!" X2
Governor Tucci straightened his monocle and sighed, "With all due respect, you are one of the most personable and temperamental gentlemen I have ever met. ”
"Oh?" Zhu Ping showed a look of surprise, and said in his heart: Why does this old guy look at people so accurately, and he can see my extraordinaryness at a glance? Good people can't always hide themselves......
"Don't say it's a young man, even a mature gentleman will be nervous when he encounters such a large single transaction, and there are really not many people like you." The old man answered his doubts for Zhu Ping.
Then he continued: "If I have the opportunity, I hope to work with you again. ”
"There will be a chance!" Zhu Ping left here with the "cards".
Why panic about this broken stone, after all, he still has a big plan under his hands!
I'm used to touching the big ones, and then I touch the small ones, and there is always a trace of disdain......
The cooperation, which is worth almost a thousand gold coins, is like going to the supermarket to buy snacks, paying the money with one hand and delivering it with the other, neatly.
After Zhu Ping left the auction house.
The president hurriedly urged the employees of the auction house to send invitations to the castles of various nobles, wealthy and other high-class people to warm up for the upcoming auction.
Although the promotion method is simple, it is extremely efficient, after all, the people who can buy this gem are only ten fingers in the capital city of Orlandon, and it is enough to pass the news to the upper class.
……
When the invitation was sent to the nobles, most of the nobles were a little surprised to see the owner of the finale gem, because Baron Hall had just finished the limelight a few days ago, and the heat had not yet passed, and the news came again.
When the two viscounts, Xiao Nong and Lin Zheng, received the invitation, they were naturally very surprised, curious about what this gem, which was said to be almost as valuable as the king's crown, looked like.
Especially Viscount Xiao Nong, when he heard the word gem, he was attracted to attention, after all, the word "gem" appeared in his field of vision too many times recently.
The king was still secretive, and the palace guards and maids did not deliver any news.
However, the two barons, George and Peggy, have once again started a new round of incompetent rage.
"The gems are meant to be ours, they flow out of our land! This thief, this thief! Peggy, who had never suffered any hardship, lost what little aristocratic upbringing she had.
The ball-like body of flesh thundered in the hall, impotent and furious.
George's disdain for Peggy became more and more apparent, and he became more and more disdainful of Peggy every time he heard that Peggy, who was both stupid and ignorant, unabashedly wanted a piece of the pie.
The two became friendly because both sides were in the Xiao Nong faction, plus the strength of the Peggy family was strong and belonged to the first echelon of the Baron family, if it weren't for this, George felt that Peggy, a fool, was not qualified to talk to him.
The friendship between the two sides is plastic, and the tailwind can still be maintained, and the headwind is ...... Burst apart? No! George had a better idea.
His eyes moved slightly, and he encouraged Peggy without a trace: "My old friend, since this is the case, why don't you go to Viscount Lin Zheng to intercede, and let him help us get the land back!" ”
Peggy, who was in a frenzy of impotence, calmly wondered for a moment: "What about you?" ”
"I'll go to Viscount Xiao Nong and ask him to support us and prevent the king from interfering in this matter." George said seriously.
In fact, George played a trick in just a few words, leaving Peggy alone to seek the help of Viscount Lin Zheng.
The two of them belong to the people under Viscount Xiao Nong, and the last time they cooperated with Viscount Lin Zheng, they paid a high cost, and the cost alone was enough, and the disputes between the factions and the consumption of favors were of immeasurable value.
Of course, Peggy may understand these details in a normal way, but now his mind is full of thinking about how to get revenge on Baron Hall, how can he still think of this.
……
A day later.
Zhu Ping received the summons from the Court of Arbitration, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook: "I thought they would be more calm, but now it seems that they are seriously overestimated."
At what cost are you going to pay to buy back the land that was thrown to me this time?
Ha ha! I'm sorry, but you want to buy it, but I don't necessarily want to sell it yet! This barren mountain is a great place! ”
"Isn't it true that you will accept it when you see it?"
Zhu Ping heard the delicate voice beside him, and didn't bother to hide and admit the other party's speculation: "Take it when you see it?" Sometimes the way of coping is too weak, do you think that when you see it, it will be over?
They don't think that, you take one step back, they take one step, two steps, three steps...... There is no end to greed.
In the game, people who are too weak will always lose more than they gain in the end. ”
"Forget it, change the subject." Zhu Ping stopped halfway through his words, and then said with a smile: "Lina, you are a very smart person, smarter than most people, both men and women. Wouldn't it be a pity if you only worked as a maid? ”
"Hmm...... I also want to try what it's like to be a noble lady. Lina blinked her eyes coquettishly, and for a moment there was a bit of charm under her green face.
Zhu Ping was speechless, I was molested by a Lori again, is there any king law in this world.
If you weren't worried about the sudden attack of the divine beast, you would have to be convinced.
"This world has extraordinary abilities, you know!" Zhu Ping hurriedly changed the topic, otherwise his face and personality would collapse.
"Hmm." Lina nodded obediently.
"Do you want to learn?"
"Yes."
"I'll teach you!"
"I don't want to learn from you, it's too low!"
Zhu Ping looked back at the little girl deeply, and wanted to refute a few words, but he didn't know how to speak, so he had to turn around again, leaving his back, pretending to be deep, after all, the back doesn't need acting skills.
"Then what else do you want to learn, I can fund you."
"Can I learn to be a wizard then?" The little girl mentioned it in passing, obviously not holding out much hope.
"Ahem...... We'll talk about it after the wizard cultivates the system. Zhu Ping was embarrassed for a moment, because he couldn't afford to learn this line of work himself, and Lina didn't have a noble status for the time being.
"Cut! Aunt Nina was right! A man's mouth, a deceitful ghost! The little girl muttered quietly.
Zhu Ping forcibly changed the topic and said: "I'm more interested in the craftsman system now, I don't know if you're also interested, I think this way is very mysterious, not much weaker than wizards." ”
"Oh......" The girl elongated her voice, and her tone was very perfunctory.
Since she said that this girl was small, she had been talking with thorns, and the intimate little padded jacket became the chain mail in the tip in the blink of an eye, and it became more and more intense for many days, and the revenge of the female creature was really terrible...... Zhu Ping thought so in his heart.
In line with the good mentality of good men not fighting with women, he took care of himself to introduce the craftsman system he had learned.
It's a very mysterious system...... Well, well, there's no such thing as a mysterious......
It is currently known.
Sequence 9 of the craftsman is called the artist, and after this stage of training, the brain will become active, and at the same time, the creative inspiration will gush out, and the dexterity of the fingers will be greatly improved.
Most of the well-known paintings that are popular all over the world are the works of painters or craftsmen who have practiced higher orders.
It is through these masterpieces of art that the artisan path is so well-known, but most of the artisans are located in the Holy Kingdom, and there seems to be only one low-order artisan in the kingdom of Orlandon.
The two walked around and chatted, and although Zhu Ping did not succeed in arousing the little girl's interest, she reluctantly agreed to try to practice the craftsman path.
Pathfinder for Craftsman's Cultivation Path +1...... Zhu Ping was very satisfied.
