Chapter 35 Yongchang Auction House

Worry-free took Feng Wenzhuo out of their place, and Feng Wenzhuo transformed into a miniature red bird, the size of a sparrow.

Carefree looked at the city he was familiar with and walked slowly. Along the way, he and Feng Wenzhuo had questions and answers.

"Big brother, what do you see in front of you?"

looked at the stall in front of him with a lot of animal skins, and said in a low voice: "Wen Zhuo, this is a store that buys and sells animal skins. ”

"What are animal skins and can you eat them?"

"Hides can't be eaten, they are used for heating or decoration, the hides are the furs of animals in the mountains and forests, the furs of some beasts are very expensive, most of the furs he sells here are some common furs, the types are not small, you see, the golden spots are leopard skins, the stripes are tiger skins, the black shiny bearskins, the cyan wolf skins, the gray dogskins......"

"Oh, I see, the animal skins you are talking about are those beasts in the mountains and forests that are lower than our demon clan, we are demon beasts, they are beasts. ”

"Big brother, what is the use of the fur of these beasts, what do you mean for heating and decoration?"

For Feng Wenzhuo's questions, Wuwu replied one by one: "The meaning of heating is very clear, after the weather gets cold, how can you demon beasts survive the winter?"

"What's winter?"

Feng Wenzhuo's question made Wu Wu stunned: "What is winter, don't you know that there are four seasons in a year?"

"We monsters only have tomorrow and night in our eyes, and we don't know about the four seasons. Oh, when you say it's cold, that's the season when the snow falls, right?"

Worry-free nodded: "Yes, the snow season is very cold, humans can wear clothes made of beast fur to shield from the cold, and the decoration is that humans have a beautiful nature, they make some beast fur into patterns, and wear them for people to admire." ”

"What does it mean to be a pattern, and what does it mean to admire?"

Feng Wenzhuo asked again.

Wuwu sighed and said: "Wen Zhuo, I will tell you these things slowly in the future, this time I come out, I want to sell a few fire crystals, and find a quiet place to live, the place where we live is too noisy, I am afraid that it will affect Lie'er's cultivation, I will take you to the auction house." ”

"What is an auction house?"

"The auction house is a place to auction items, of course, these items are precious and difficult to see, in the auction house, people who want to buy a certain item can bid with each other, and the highest bidder can get what he wants. Let's auction a few fire crystals in our hands, get the silver, and then find a quiet place to rent. ”

If you don't have to worry about it, let Feng Wenzhuo nod.

Wen Zhuo twisted his head and stood on his carefree shoulders, looking at the people coming and going on the street and the various shops selling goods, his eyes full of excitement.

Tianmu City has not turned around for more than ten years, this time he came out, he brought five high-grade fire crystals, according to the current market price, one high-grade fire crystal can be sold for 10,000 taels of silver, five is 50,000 taels, 50,000 taels of silver can be regarded as a huge amount of money.

In the seven countries of Wulian, except for the capitals of the seven countries and a few large cities, ten taels of silver are enough to allow a family of five to live for a year.

The cost of living in the big city is much higher, such as Tianmu City, if calculated according to the lowest standard, a person needs at least ten taels of silver to spend a year in Tianmu City, and these ten taels of silver can only sustain one person from starvation.

If you include the cost of clothes, the minimum cost of a person in Tianmu City for a year is twelve taels of silver.

The big courtyard in Linzi, the capital, cost six hundred taels of silver, but that wasn't the real price of that courtyard. The real value of the yard at that time was two thousand taels, but the owner of the house was in a hurry to get rid of it at that time, so he bought it without worry.

The price of houses fluctuates greatly, far less stable than the price of food, which is related to the fact that Wulian is a cultivation planet.

In the seven countries of Wulian, there are many cultivators, and those who are in the high realm can affect the weather, and the production of grain will not be affected by drought and flood.

The wind and rain are smooth and smooth is a true portrayal of the cultivation realm, and on the cultivation planet, there will be no major drought and flood.

As a result, food prices in Ulian have always been stable.

Like Tianmu City, the price of wheat and rice here is almost the same as that in those remote places. But for those who live here, their other costs are much higher than in remote places.

The city construction fee, which is a fee for all those who live in the big city. The construction fee for the city in Tianmu City is one or two silver per person per year. The rental cost of the house is also higher than that of remote places, so that the cost of living in Tianmu for one person is enough to cover the cost of living in a small place for a family of five or six.

If you sell five high-grade fire crystals, you can get a huge sum of 50,000 taels. But Wu Wu didn't want to sell these five high-grade fire crystals like this, he wanted to find an auction house to sell them.

With the red fire monster of the Hengduan Mountains gone, the price of this fire crystal is bound to rise, and the auction house is a place where you can get the ideal price.

After walking a few streets, according to his memory, on a street called Liumu Street, Wuwu saw the building - the Yongchang Auction House was there.

Seeing the word Yongchang in Yongchang Auction House, he thought of the Ruyi Danfang where he had stayed on Yongchang Street. He is fifty-two years old, and more than forty years have passed and he has never been there again.

Yongchang Auction House is a chain auction house, and its founder is a master in the middle of the Yuan Infant Period, called Ji Yongchang. Ji Yongchang has an indescribable and unclear relationship with the royal family of the Ming Kingdom.

Ji Yongchang founded Yongchang Auction House 2,000 years ago, and now he is long gone, and now he is presided over by his grandson, Ji Qing, who is also in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty

Yongchang Auction House has branches in all major cities in seven countries. They can be regarded as having hands and eyes, if they are counted, Yongchang Auction House and the other two auction houses are the top three in the entire Wulian.

In addition to Yongchang Auction House, there are two other auction houses on the planet Wulian, and these two are on the same scale as Yongchang.

Hengfeng Auction House also has branches in all the big cities of seven countries, and the owner behind it is very mysterious, and it is rumored that the owner behind Hengfeng Auction House is the royal family of several countries.

Xingrun Auction House is an auction house opened by the Xiuzhen Alliance, just because Yongchang and Hengfeng are opened by Wulian locals, although Xingrun has a large backstage, it can only rank him in third place.

As the saying goes, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Yongchang and Hengfeng are the second eldest and second in Wulian Auction House, and the Xingrun of the Xiuzhen Alliance is ranked at the bottom of the top three.

In addition, there are many auction houses in the seven countries of Ulian, all of which involve the interests of all parties, but they are too small compared to these three.

Wu Wu had only been to Yongchang Auction House once, and this time he wanted to sell his five high-grade fire crystals here.

Looking at Yongchang's signboard hanging at the door of the auction house, Wuwu remembered the time when he and Uncle Lin came here.

Ning Lin took Wuwu to Yongchang Auction House once, and they auctioned a few much-needed herbs for the family, and Wuwu saw the grandeur of Zheng Qianjin in the auction house here.

"Wen Zhuo, there are masters in this auction house, don't talk anymore. ”

After whispering, Wu Wu walked a few steps closely, and said with a smile to an old man in blue clothes standing at the door of the auction house: "This eldest brother, there are a few things I want to auction in your bank, and I hope that the eldest brother will pass it on to your place on behalf of the younger brother." ”

The old man standing at the door of the Yongchang Auction House had a kind face, and he smiled and hugged his hand and said, "Please come to me." ”

As he spoke, the old man glanced at Feng Wenzhuo on his carefree shoulder and couldn't help but be surprised: "What a beautiful little bird." ”

Worry-free hurriedly said: "This is a cardinal that I have raised for many years, and when I am ripe, I will bring him with me." ”

The old man smiled and shook his head, but he didn't speak, just stretched out his hand and motioned for Wu Wu to follow him.

Passing through a corridor, the old man in green shirt brought Wuwu to an elegantly decorated room, the size of this room is more than 50 square meters, and there are many rare items on the walls inside, including antiques, spars, precious herbs Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, etc., all of which are placed in the partition of the wall one by one, which is very eye-catching.

There was a young woman in her thirties sitting in the room, she was very beautiful, her eyes were very smart, and when she looked at people with her eyes, she would give the other party the feeling of being seen through her heart.

"Old Pan, who did you bring here?"

"Pavilion Master Zhang, this brother said that he has a few good things that he wants us to auction in Yongchang, so I will bring him to see you. ”

Pavilion Master is a kind of honorific title for the person in charge of the auction house on the planet of Wulian, and this title proves that the manager of the Yongchang Auction House in Tianmu City is this beautiful woman surnamed Zhang.

"Oh?"

The beautiful woman surnamed Zhang looked at Wu Wu, she glanced at Wu Wu, and then her eyes narrowed, looking at Feng Wenzhuo on his shoulder.

"What a handsome bird. ”

The eyes of the beautiful woman surnamed Zhang lit up, she looked at Wu Wu and said, "I don't know if you sell this bird?"

Wuwu waved his hand again and again: "This is my companion, he has been with me for a long time, I am not selling him, but this ......"

Worry-free took out the five high-grade fire crystals he had brought.

"The fine flint stone is not bad, the price on the market has risen to 10,000 taels of silver a piece, and now that the red fire monster in the Hengduan Mountain Range is gone, the price of this fine flint stone will definitely skyrocket a lot. Okay, these five fine flint stones, we Yongchang will do it for you, the old rule, the commission is one out of one hundred. ”

The items sold by the auction house have a handling fee, and most of them are calculated according to one hundred draws. There are also items that are one out of a thousand, and most of these auction items are rare treasures with such an algorithm.

"Dare I ask you if you are an outsider or a local?"

Looking at the beautiful woman surnamed Zhang and asked herself with a smile, she said without worry: "Under the name of Wuwu, it is a foreigner who rents a small business in Tianmu City, and he has collected these five fine flint stones from other people's hands, but now he needs silver to use, I heard that Yongchang is the largest auction house on Wulian Star, so I want to sell these fine flint stones here in exchange for silver for emergency relief." ”

"I see, I have a proposal, if you are willing to sell this red bird on your shoulder to us Yongchang, I will give you a price of one million taels of silver. If you let us Yongchang auction this bird, I will give you a guaranteed price of one million taels of silver, and it is better if the auction is higher, and the commission is 10,000 draws. ”

Wu Wu gasped, why did this beautiful woman surnamed Zhang see that Feng Wenzhuo was worth so much silver, if it was auctioned, her commission would be one of ten thousand, which was lower than the commission drawn by those rare treasures in the auction.

The low commission does not mean that the auction house takes a small draw, but the price goes up, even if it is 10,000 draws, it is a lot of money.

Auction houses have their own experience and vision, and if the commission is 1 out of 100, it means that the item they are trying to auction is just something precious. If one out of a thousand, it proves that the item they auctioned is a rare and rare item. Now that she has set Feng Wenzhuo's commission at 10,000 draws, where does she fancy Feng Wenzhuo.

How could Feng Wenzhuo be worth such a high price.
