Chapter 127: Lights Up
Auston snorted, and with the same beckon, the four strong men behind him carried the big box to the square, far away from the electric lights of the Western Border Merchants, as if the two armies were fighting and the main generals were fighting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The four men opened the box and carefully lifted out a metal oil lamp. The lamp was shaped in the shape of a violet, with a few blooming petals as a lampstand, and budding buds containing the wick, closely connected in a circle, and the petals of different postures held the lamp oil. The whole lamp looks lifelike, exquisite, and better than it looks good, if you want to make an analogy, it is like an ordinary village girl and a beautiful woman performing on the same stage, which can be described as a judgment from high to low, a world of difference.
When Auston's oil lamp was taken out, it immediately caused a great sensation, and these people present had never seen such a delicate and gorgeous lamp, and this ingenious lantern attracted everyone's attention as soon as it was unveiled. Originally, the positions were all left and right, and it didn't matter which side they supported, everyone supported Auston in one go, in their opinion, is this still worth comparing?
Even those business tycoons who were witnesses were a little uneasy at this time, and one of them stepped forward, took a closer look, and said with a little excitement: "Could it be that this is the lantern that was presented as a congratulatory gift on the emperor's birthday at the beginning of the year?" I heard that the emperor is very fond of this lamp, so it is hung in the meeting hall of the palace, and it will never be extinguished. ”
"Not bad. "This lamp was built by a skilled craftsman over several months at my expense, and the structure is so delicate that it will not be blown out even in the face of strong winds." As for the lamp oil, it is a recipe that I have developed after years of experimentation, and I believe that there is no more suitable lamp oil in the world. ”
After he said this, almost all the people present supported the Auston family, and there were many people who had previously invested heavily in the Western Frontier Trading House beating their chests at this time, lamenting that they were really blinded by lard and blinded by the wind and sand, so why did they inexplicably vote for the Western Frontier Trading Company? There are also many people who want to reinvest more money in the Auston family, so as to make a little more money, so as to make up for their losses.
"The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff. Sasha sighed in her heart, "This old fox really has a back hand, but I don't know if this electric light is as magical as Master El said." Even if he came through the wind and waves, he couldn't help sweating slightly on his forehead at this time, and he was a little lacking in confidence. It's just that despite this, you can't lose your mouth, and you can't lose your momentum, "Mr. Alston's oil lamp is so beautiful, but this time the competition is not about whether it looks good or not, but about the service life, which is a pity." ”
Auston didn't bother with him anymore, "Now that the lamps are out, do you want to check my oil lamp?"
Sasha smiled and shook his hand, "Then you don't have to, I trust your character." Seeing that everyone is in a hurry, why don't we start now?", he said and bowed his hand to the central bigwigs and notaries, signaling that the gambling game had officially begun.
I saw that both of them walked to their lamps and began to turn on the lights. At this time, the originally noisy square was silent, and everyone held their breath and stared at the two with wide eyes to see how they moved.
Alston used a fire fold, the light of which illuminated his originally pale face red, and the "whoosh" of the fire fold lit the oil lamp, the yellow-red light looked a little blurry during the day, but it was still clearly recognizable.
Sasha, on the other hand, disappointed those who watched him, and there were no flammers such as fire folds or torches, so he just pulled the string on the disc with his bare hands, and the snow-white and somewhat dazzling light illuminated the surroundings.
Everyone was talking about this, and they were curious, "Hey, did you see it, the man from the Westside Trading House lit the lamp without using fire." ”
"Hey, it's really big in the world, it's all strange, could it be that the lamp doesn't use fire?"
"Eh, don't be kidding, what do you use without fire?
Regardless of what everyone was talking about, after the lights were turned on in both families, the professional notaries present took over the venue. They sprang into action, wrapping both lamps in a light, almost transparent veil that looked extremely thin, almost transparent, and they were doing their work lightly and with great care.
While doing it, there is also a leader to explain to everyone, "This yarn is made of a special silk produced in the south, this yarn is called moonlight yarn, which means that the moon can be clearly seen through a piece of yarn, so as to explain its gentleness, and there is another name called the cicada wing, which is more fragile than the cicada wing, and it will break if you touch it hard." We wrapped the two lamps in moonlight yarn to ensure that no one touched them again after the game began. ”
"In addition, in addition to our notary public who will supervise on site, the Westside Comptoir and the Auston family will keep people here to supervise each other. In addition, the Shenghui City Business Alliance will also send people to be stationed here, and the police force directly under the National Police Department will be invited to maintain law and order on the spot, which will definitely ensure the fairness of this gambling game. ”
This man Rory said a lot of nonsense, and his intention was nothing more than to tell everyone about the fairness of this gamble. However, his words were not in vain, at least now that "the Western Frontier Merchant House will deceive", there are many fewer such rumors, and there is almost no market.
Auston glanced at Sasha, who had noticed that Sasha seemed to be talking to someone in a low voice when others were not paying attention, combined with the unusual speech of the notary who was usually indifferent to the zombie just now. I don't know when, he reached an agreement with those notaries, let those notaries make it convenient, and clarify the rumors by the way, anyway, it doesn't violate their principles of justice, it's just a matter of pushing the boat and raising his hands, but I don't know what kind of price Sasha paid and how he got on that line.
"Who said that those dead faces don't take benefits? If you can really collect it, you can collect it more ruthlessly than anyone else, a bunch of hypocrites, what kind of professional ethics, hum!", Auston was secretly annoyed in his heart, the rumors that caused the gambling injustice were his idle moves, and it was also one of the retreats he prepared, but he didn't expect Sasha to react so quickly and block the road at once.
"That's it, the other side is not an idle person, and it can't be defeated by these small means alone. Looking at the arrangement of these notaries, it is really fair and just, and it also eliminates the possibility of tricks, everything still depends on the final outcome of the gamble. ”
"Winner takes all, winner takes all. ”
