Chapter Seventy-Seven, a Thousand Dollars

The auction is hosted by the merchants on the "Golden Mile" in turn, and this month it is the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce that is in charge of it. This chamber of commerce has a close relationship with the Republic of West Brulyka, and more than one of the top members of the chamber of commerce is from West Brulyka. Relying on the sailing technology of the land of tigers and whales, their ship wreck rate is far lower than that of other chambers of commerce, so they have a huge advantage in shipping. Specifically, their greatest advantage lies in passenger transportation, and almost all of the mid-to-high-end cargo ships in the entire Port of Molai are under their control.

In addition, there is a saying that when the pirate king Barbarossa was young, he used to avoid trouble and learn art in West Winglaika, and the predecessors of the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce took good care of him at that time, so after he became famous, he rarely attacked this Chamber of Commerce, so this Chamber of Commerce had an advantage in shipping.

Of course, this kind of hearsay is not enough evidence, and the panda is not interested.

He was interested in what would be auctioned tonight?

With a curious and excited look on their faces, Jack disembarked at the entrance to the Golden Mile - commercial carriages could only be delivered here before and after the auction, and if you wanted to enter, you had to have a shop in the Golden Mile to enter.

This is also a way to distinguish status, can be reached by carriage, naturally the rich and powerful bigwigs, can get VIP treatment - of course, the bigwigs may not all own the shops in the Golden Avenue, but there will definitely be a special carriage to greet them.

As for those who came on foot, it was just a supporting role, and it didn't matter.

Panda didn't care if he had a supporting role, he took Jack to walk down the street that could accommodate four carriages in parallel, and it was quite interesting to watch the merchants hurrying by on both sides, and the carriages that occasionally galloped past in the middle of the road.

The gap between people is fully manifested at this moment.

Jack looked at the carriages enviously, and after a while, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Pan, why don't you make a reservation for a carriage? ”

The big auction offers "special car" reservations, as long as there is no criminal record and a deposit of more than 50,000 gold coins. This Mr. Bell Penn can say things like "fund a boat" without hesitation, and he will definitely be able to get the deposit.

"There's no need. Panda said nonchalantly, "I'm interested in the goods of the auction, not the carriage." ”

Jack nodded thoughtfully, feeling that he had learned a little more.

When they came to the door of the narwhal Chamber of Commerce, the guards at the door did not stop anyone, but the waiter asked them if there was an invitation.

"Can't you go to the auction if you don't?" asked Panda.

"Of course you can, we are businessmen, and businessmen will never turn away customers. The young but calm waiter smiled and said, "However, if you don't have an invitation, you can only participate in the auction in the ground floor hall." Because the seats on the second floor and the box on the third floor have been predetermined, there is no surplus for one seat per person. ”

Panda nodded in understanding, and then asked, "Do you have a list of items that you plan to auction tonight?"

"This ...... The list was all in the box, and I couldn't touch it......," the waiter said embarrassedly.

Panda smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "The young man is very promising, keep up the good work." ”

With that, he and Jack followed the flow of people and went into the hall on the ground floor.

The hall is a fan-shaped structure, and the "fan handle" position is the auction table, and there is a magic array for display on the auction table, which can project the items to be auctioned in the air so that everyone can see clearly. The patrons were seated in chairs next to each other, the first few rows were already filled, and Panda and Jack had to sit in the back seats.

But that doesn't matter, because each row of chairs is taller than the one in front of you, like a staircase on earth, and unless you're unlucky enough to have a big guy like Yunero sitting in front of you, you don't have to worry about obstructing your view.

Panda and Jack were lucky, the people sitting in the rows in front of them were not very tall, which did not affect their vision at all.

After some time, when the port's bell struck eight o'clock in the evening, the auction officially began.

The auctioneer was a tall and thin middle-aged man who was not at all "Mo Laigang", and his face looked very cold, not like a businessman, but like a killer. And the panda can clearly feel a wisp of murderous aura from his body, there must be a lot of lives under this person's hands. I don't understand what the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce thinks, and actually find such a person to be in charge of the auction.

The auctioneer didn't mean to introduce himself, and he started to introduce the first item straight to the point.

"A set of pearl necklaces, the auxiliary beads are all first-class archipelago pearls, and the main bead is a mermaid's tear. With his introduction, the appearance of the necklace was projected in the air, the round pearls were white and flawless, obviously all of them were of the highest quality, and the azure teardrop-shaped gemstone in the center of the necklace continued to reflect the beautiful brilliance, attracting everyone's attention.

The auctioneer didn't go into detail about the purpose of the necklace, but Jack was somewhat knowledgeable and whispered to the panda, "The Mermaid's Tears are special gems made by the mermaid people, and they can be worn on the body to avoid drowning." This necklace is estimated to cost at least a thousand gold coins. ”

"The reserve price is two thousand gold coins, and each increase is not less than one hundred gold coins. ”

Jack touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.

"You're right, in terms of the value of magic items, this thing is actually about a thousand gold coins. An old man next to him smiled and said, "It's just that you ignore the value of its 'jewelry'." ”

The panda, of course, was not interested in this necklace and sat still. The old man shouted the price once when he was two thousand four hundred gold coins, and he didn't shout again after it was exceeded. In the end, the necklace was sold for 2,600 gold coins, and it was only a difference between a chubby merchant, the merchants of Molaigang, who seemed to be chubby, at most "slightly fat" like the old man next to them, or "very fat" like the merchant who bought the necklace.

Looking at the fat man in the room, the panda couldn't help but think of a joke:

Zhang San traveled to Chongqing and ate food stalls at night, he emphasized that "I don't eat spicy", and then the owner and chef replied: "When we cook here, there are only heavy spicy and slightly spicy, and there is no 'not spicy'." ”

Of course, this is just a joke, Chongqing cuisine is also not spicy at all, just like the merchants in Molaigang are actually very thin.

For example, buy the old man who bought the auction item behind him, a bottle of "Majestic Potion".

The old man's whole body was almost shriveled, but when he shouted the price, his voice was louder than anyone else's, and he was menacing. Especially when bidding with a big fat man in the first row, he was almost roaring, and his eyes were about to pop out.

The panda felt that the reason why the big fat man retreated in the end was not because he didn't want the bottle of magic potion that could make a man "majestic" for about half a month, but because he was afraid that the old man would jump up and strangle himself......

The final transaction price of the "Majestic Potion" was 1,800 gold coins, and most of the next few auction items were above 1,000 and below 3,000.

This kind of price is probably a little expensive for this kind of magic item or strange object potion, but it is not very exaggerated.

It's just that...... Watching them auction one by one, each mouth is a thousand or even thousands of gold coins, and the panda can't help but think of an idiom.

Extravagantly.

Isn't every one of their businesses a real "daughter"!
