Chapter 236: Jewels
Rotlett quickly asked people to go through the relevant procedures, personally signed the title deed and stamped his own big seal, and handed the title deed to Lin Ruhai's hand with a smile and said, "Put away the Lord of Lin Island, from now on, the mountain forest adjacent to the sea in the north is yours."
"Thank you Chief Cheng for this recipe for planting excellent rice and making ice, remind the chief, this recipe can bring a lot of benefits, and I hope the chief will keep it for a good time" Lin Ruhai also handed the two envelopes to Rottlett and reminded kindly.
"I know how precious these two recipes are, thank you for reminding me of them."
"Chief, I came here to buy some gems, I don't know if the chief has a good one in his hand"
"I have the gem here, but I don't know what the Lord of Lin Island wants."
"Naturally, I want the best not to hide from the chief, I bought it to make jewelry for my wife, and I want to make the most special jewelry for her and give it to her on her birthday."
"The Lord of the Island of Lin must be very happy that your wife can be treated sincerely by someone like the Lord of the Island of Lin, and your wife must be very happy."
"My wife and I are indeed in love," Lin Ruhai smiled, his eyes inadvertently revealing a hint of doting.
Rottlett was very interested in a woman who could conquer the heart of such a fairy-like figure as Lin Ruhai, "Presumably your wife must also be a peerless beauty, that is indeed to use the best and most beautiful gems to set off her beauty." ”
This is the Great Elder who said, "Actually, if the Lord of Lin Island wants to buy good gems, he can participate in Ming's auction. The auction was held by merchants from the West, and most of the people who participated in the auction were Western and Malay traders, who often held some very precious gems in their hands. The last auction was a year ago, when a Western businessman bought a bag of diamonds, one of which was the size of a pigeon's egg, from a Malay trader. It is said that the merchants of this Western country bought it back and resold it to the king of their country, and the king made a crown out of the oil diamond."
"That's right, in fact, those big and good gems were bought overseas by those gem miners, and I can only be regarded as mid-to-high quality here. If the Lord of Lin Island needs it, I can also introduce you to a few gem mine owners, and it can be much cheaper to buy gems directly from them. Rottlett said.
"Okay, I'll listen to the advice of the Great Elder and go to that auction tomorrow, if I don't buy the gem I want, then ask the chief to help introduce the gem mine owner" Lin Ruhai was very pleased with the sincerity of Rottlet, this time to Luzon, the biggest gain was not the huge gold mine, but the friend of Rottlet, and the most sincere friendship he gained.
"I'm going to participate in the auction too, so the Lord of Lin Island will come with me then," Rotlett invited.
Lin Ruhai also readily agreed to Rotlet's invitation, chatted with Rotlett for a while, and then proposed to leave, and left Rotlet's palace with the old shadow.
Lin Ruhai and his entourage returned to the small courtyard they rented in the inn, and as soon as Lin Ruhai entered the house, he said, "Uncle Thirteen, you go out to find out about Ming's auction." ”
The thirteenth uncle took the order and went out, and the old shadow asked, "Does the master think there is anything wrong with this auction?"
"That great elder's eyes are erratic, and at a glance, he is thinking that if he is just for money, I will not care, if he has other plans, we should also prepare in advance."
"Do you want the master to go down and keep an eye on the great elder," the twenty-seventh uncle asked.
"It's so hard, Uncle Twenty-Seven has a trip," Lin Ruhai said.
"Why are the masters and subordinates still polite, and the subordinates are leaving" Uncle Twenty-Seven left a little uncomfortably.
"This twenty-seventh uncle, he is still so thin-faced" Lin Ruhai said with a smile, and everyone laughed too.
The old shadow spoke again, "That Great Elder has the most eyes, and now the Chief offered to sell us the right to use that piece of mountain forest for fifty years, and this idea must have come from the Great Elder." Fortunately, the master has a back hand, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to take that piece of land."
"It's all for my own benefit, but there's nothing I just wonder why, as soon as I offered to buy gems from the chief, the Great Elder immediately changed the subject and led us to some auction."
"This great elder won't eat inside and out, and collude with those businessmen to make profits," the eighth uncle said.
"Don't say it's really possible, master, what do you say," the old shadow asked Lin Ruhaidao.
"It's hard to say now, we won't know until the two uncles come back."
In the evening, after Lin Ruhai and the others had dinner and bathed again, the thirteenth and twenty-seventh uncles came back one after another.
"The master is really like a god, and the auction is really boring," the thirteenth uncle said first.
"Oh, let's hear it," Lin Ruhai said.
"The auction was ostensibly held by a merchant in the gem and spice business in Western countries, and most of the merchants offered their more precious things in their hands in the hope of selling them for a good price, and this kind of auction was held once a year. But in fact, half of the proceeds from the auction are going to the chief, so the things in it are good, but the asking price is not low."
Lin Ruhai frowned and pondered, and then said, "I don't think this is like the style of Rotlett, but it is quite the style of a great elder. It seems that the eighth uncle really said that this great elder is really eating inside and out, and filling his own pockets."
"The master is right, his subordinates followed the Great Elder, he went to see a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes after dark, they muttered what the subordinates didn't understand, but the subordinates saw that the Great Elder gave the man a small bag, the bag contained a lot of gems, the big one was the size of a pigeon's egg, the small one was the size of the little finger cover, oh, the largest one was a pink gem, dazzling and very beautiful."
"It seems that this Great Elder is a greedy lord," the old shadow laughed mockingly.
"Forget it, he's just greedy for money, as long as he doesn't go too far, we don't need to meddle in other people's housework," Lin Ruhai said.
"Then do we really want to be the wronged boss, but I heard that the things bought at the auction are nearly thirty percent higher than the usual," Uncle Thirteen said unwillingly.
"We don't lack silver, there is no need to ask for trouble, this is someone's territory after all, and offending a villain like the Great Elder will not do us any good," the old shadow said.
"That's right, do you really think that the chief doesn't know anything about what the Grand Elder did?" is working on recovering the chapter, so please visit it later.
