Chapter 227: Waves at the Auction
Sure enough, after the price was paid, the scene instantly boiled, and everyone began to guess who it was, so rich!
Noah seemed to inadvertently raise the curtain used to separate the private room from the outside world a little, so that people could see Dojin's face faintly.
Sure enough, someone in the lobby immediately recognized Duojin as the eldest young master of the Chamber of Commerce, and then many people who knew each other immediately chose to give up the bidding. After all, no one present has the confidence to win too much gold.
Of course, there are some people who are unbelievers.
Although Dojin's family is rich, it has no history after all, and it has not been a nobleman for a long time, so it is inevitable that it will be looked down upon. Some people will think: Isn't it just relying on how much stinky money you have? The mansion that originally belonged to the Clark family, and if you want to move in with the background of Dorkin's family, I'm afraid you don't have that qualification!
Sure enough, after several rounds of bidding back and forth, a waiter who couldn't hold his breath finally popped up.
In the private room where Duojin was located, in the room opposite them, a strange voice suddenly came out: "I don't weigh how many catties and taels I have!" Do you really think you can do whatever you want with a few dollars?! Immediately afterwards, the curtain on the bread compartment was opened, revealing the face of the bidder, who lived in the west of the city, Earl Hall.
The Earl of Hall has been gaining momentum in recent years, and he is lacking a good mansion. He saw that Duojin was a hairy boy in his early twenties, so he didn't take him seriously at all, and simply shouted for a 10% increase in the price.
Seeing the other party's face, Duo Jin was slightly stunned, and then felt a little embarrassed: no matter what the other party said, he was also an elder. He said it so ugly, should he continue to shoot or not? After all, my father repeatedly warned that people in business should be tactful and not offend people at will.
When Dorjin was hesitating to continue shouting, Noah smiled slightly, and then directly shouted the price, doubling the price!
Although Noah's voice was not loud, his actions could be regarded as completely annoying Duke Hall. Count Hall didn't expect that after he had already said such things, this kid was still so uninteresting, and he dared to continue to raise the price with himself! It's just a lot of the sky! So he couldn't help but scolded directly, saying something like "a little hairy boy who doesn't know the height of the sky", those words are as ugly as they are!
For a while, the atmosphere at the auction scene began to become a little awkward because of Earl Hall's sarcasm.
Even the expression on the host's face was slightly subtle.
Duojin nested in the private room, feeling very embarrassed;
Noah, on the other hand, still had a calm expression, as if he had never taken Count Hall seriously at all.
Finally, as Count Hall was about to hear another wave of angry scolding, Noah slowly opened the curtain of the box so that he could be at eye level with Count Hall. Then, Noah said unhurriedly: "Count Hall, have you scolded enough, don't you feel tired?" ”
As soon as Hall saw that Noah was also in the box opposite, he was a little stunned and immediately stopped scolding.
The other people sitting in the hall couldn't help but feel a little strange when they saw that Hall, who was originally arrogant, was now reacting like this. So they all stood up one after another, wanting to see what the sacredness was, and they suppressed the arrogance of the always domineering Earl Hall with a single word!
Noah looked at Hall calmly, then smiled as if nothing had happened, "Count Hall, long time no see. ”
An embarrassed smile appeared on Hall's face, and he could only laugh and say, "It's you, Noah...... Duke, it was such a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
It's no wonder that Earl Hall has such a big reaction at this time, after all, Noah is already a duke now, so his status in Double Moon City is no longer what it used to be.
Of course, if it was just that, it wouldn't make Earl Hall so alarmed. What he really cared about was the relationship between Noah and the king.
Most of the princes and ministers in the court are suspected of forming parties for personal gain in the struggle for the throne. Most of them secretly attached themselves to and supported different princes, in order to gamble on their own future and fate.
But who knows, the only person who survived in the end would be the little prince Rand, who had nothing to do with the court before! This also means that none of the old people in the current court are attached to the new king, and the king will naturally not treat them as confidants. Therefore, the ministers also know in their hearts that a complete reshuffle is about to usher in the court!
Fortunately, everyone in the court is like this now, and everyone has no friendship with the king. Therefore, Hall, the nobles who have stood in line, are not too flustered because of the shuffle, and their lives are still the same as before, at least they still look very good. But if they meet someone like Noah, who doesn't take sides in the first place, and has a good personal relationship with the king, then the situation is different.
Now that Xia Zuo is missing and his whereabouts are unknown, Noah has become the first noble son of Two Moon City and the most promising young nobleman in the eyes of everyone. In addition, Noah and the king are still classmates, and their personal relationship will not be bad. So there is a great possibility that Noah will become a celebrity in front of the king in the future, and even a confidant minister.
So at a time when the situation is as delicate as this, offending an upstart like Noah is a very brainless act, and Hall will not be so blind.
And after everyone in the hall recognized the bidder as Noah, they knew that he had a very good relationship with the original owner of the house, and no one dared to raise the price with him.
After all, the situation in Double Moon City is not clear yet, and everyone is worried about the big reshuffle in Double Moon City after this, and no one has any reason to offend the most promising potential stocks in Double Moon City at this time. Not to mention, Noah's family has a long history of talent and a long history, which is basically the same as the history of the Moon Country, and the strength itself should not be underestimated. So at such a delicate moment, naturally no one dared to have anything to do with him.
So in the end, although Earl Hall was unwilling, he could only choose to give up the bid for this mansion.
Noah got his wish and took the former residence of the Clark family into his pocket.
Noah is still quite satisfied with this result, after all, the money spent on photographing this mansion is much lower than Noah's previous estimate!
