When Li Mo was about to end the auction, a crisp voice resounded throughout the audience: "I will give out 300,000 gold coins!"

After hearing the quoted numbers, everyone in the audience turned their heads and looked at Anna, who was holding the number 21 number plate in her hand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info and Anna stared at Li Mo, who was also staring at him, and winked at him mischievously.

When Li Mo and Anna made eye contact, the No. 47 merchant, who had previously quoted 213,100 gold coins, put down the number plate in his hand in frustration. With a long sigh, his face full of helplessness. An opportunity to make the family thrive just slipped away in front of his eyes.

It's just that the gold coins I brought are really not enough, otherwise, I have to fight for everything. It's all my fault, I don't pay enough attention to the auction of Thor's hammer. However, the businessman had no intention of retaliation. Because, he knows who is bidding with him.

Anna Lawrence's appearance is known to the businessmen who often travel around the continent. And her royal status is no secret. In fact, the Raphael royal family was the main disseminator of the news in the first place. Although Anna, the princess, is not worried and has organized a continent-wide scenery tour group, no matter how headache she is, Raphael's old emperor can't let her run around without asking. Anna's true identity is also a kind of protection for her. Anyone who wants to hurt her, take into account the power of Raphael's empire.

Fortunately, none of the mercenaries that Anna usually comes into contact with can afford the wrath of a country. Therefore, her Rose Thorn Mercenary Group is alive and well, running around all day long, and the tasks are doing well. I don't know if Raphael's old emperor who loves his daughter is repentant behind his back.

At this time, Anna looked at Li Mo, who had been in a daze, and laughed mischievously: "Giggles, what's the matter, don't you still offer?"

Only then did Li Mo come back to his senses and continue to perform his duties as an auctioneer: "Okay, now, our No. 21 auctioneer is bidding 300,000 gold coins, I don't know if there is a higher price?"

"300,000 gold coins once, 300,000 gold coins twice, 300,000 gold coins three times! Again, you can choose to go back office now or wait until after the auction to get your lot back. ”

There would no longer be a higher price than 300,000 gold coins on the field, so Li Mo simply announced the ownership of the Flame Knife after three quotations, and the others present did not raise any objections to this. Except for the lost No. 47, the other merchants secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since I didn't get it, I didn't get it done by other businessmen, which is the best result. Now, we're all on the same starting line again.

Anna Lawrence nodded, but still sat in her chair, apparently waiting until the auction was over to pay. However, Li Mo was not like just now, worried that Anna would not pay and bid maliciously. After all, the face of Raphael's royal family cannot be discarded with just 300,000 gold coins.

"Now let's ask for the next piece of equipment, which is still a knife, but a two-handed weapon, a broadsword. This knife was also created by Master Karui using the super enchantment process....."

Li Mo continued to auction the next equipment step by step. In fact, the rest of the equipment is a super enchanted weapon created by Karui. With Li Mo's introduction, the people in the audience also started the auction. It's just that this time, everyone's prices are starting to become rational. Referring to the auction price given by the actual value of the weapon, there were no more cases of sky-high equipment being auctioned.

After all, the method of winning favorability by throwing money at it only works the first time. Now that the first opportunity has been missed, everyone is of course starting to return to the route of rational bidding. It's that simple. Just do the right thing at the right time.

It's just that while presiding over the auction with ease, Li Mo is thinking about another question in his heart. Why did Anna pay 300,000 gold coins to auction this piece of equipment? The merchants were vying for this piece of equipment for the benefit of the back of the equipment. But, let's be honest, these profits are tempting wealth in the eyes of a businessman. However, for the Lawrence family, who own an empire as an asset, it will not be taken into account at all.

The wealth of the royal family does not come from the profits of trade. They also won't want to participate in competition among merchants. For they stand on a higher ground, and their money comes from the taxation of all business activities in their territory.

Since all those who do business are taxed, there is no need for the nobles to go shirtless and compete with their own people for the benefits of commerce. Instead, they encourage the business practices of the common people, and then trade frequently to bring them more money.

If the nobles of a territory organize a merchant group by themselves, then a very terrible phenomenon will occur. Under his protection, his own merchant groups would monopolize trade throughout the realm. Then the consequences of the monopoly are obvious. There will be fewer and fewer merchant groups in this place, and there will be fewer and fewer civilians in the territory. Eventually, the nobility loses their taxes and their own people.

This is tantamount to fishing and burning forests and hunting, which is absolutely not a cost-effective method.

Then, as a member of the royal family, the Raphael Empire would never allow Anna to form a merchant group to sell super enchanted equipment. Then Anna herself knows that her subordinates, driven by interests, will also begin to monopolize the trade of super enchantment equipment in the Raphael Empire.

The laws of capital are controlled by money and human nature. As for the law, it has not been one of the factors that change this law. In this regard, after so many years of development, the rulers of various countries have a deep understanding of this.

Since, taking pictures of this piece of equipment can't bring benefits to Anna. Why did she snatch this piece of equipment from other people's hands at a sky-high price at the last moment?

Do you like this piece of equipment? Li Mo felt that his thoughts were funny, and fools knew that this piece of equipment was not worth so much money at all. And the reason why this knife was auctioned at a sky-high price, Li Mo believes that Anna definitely knows it very well in her heart. It's not the weapon at all.

Moreover, now that Karui has mastered the craft of super enchantment, there will be countless flame knives in the future, each of which is much cheaper than this one. With 300,000 gold coins, you can buy a lot of flame knives. Saying that she likes knives, it is better to say that she likes me, Li Mo laughed at himself in his heart.

"So, what is it for?"
