Chapter 43 Auction
Lalala, lalala, I'm a little expert in canvassing, everyone has to have a ticket in their hands, all vote for Molongchang!
************************
Taoists are very relaxed, and their most obvious feature is that there is a black and white circular pattern on the back, which is said to be called "Tai Chi Tu".
The people of the Legalists all wear high crowns on their heads, and they look very old-fashioned, and their faces are also flat, as if they can't smile, which makes it difficult for people to feel close.
The doctors dressed casually, and the two envoys, a man and a woman, talked and laughed and behaved intimately, looking like a couple. They are all dressed in white, the man is chic, and the woman is quiet and gentle, which can be called a match made in heaven.
Once the guests arrived, the auction began. Presiding over the auction was Mo Zhiwei, a famous engineer of the Mo family.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although this year's machinery auction was held in a hurry, the quality and grade of the lots will not deteriorate compared to previous years, please rest assured." Mo Zhiwei held his big belly, stood on the stage and gave the envoy of the six great families a reassuring medicine first.
Mo Lin said to himself: These envoys didn't come with the purpose of buying things, and most of them should be confused when they saw those lots. However, the quality of Mojia's things is reliable and versatile, and it is not wrong to buy them with your eyes closed.
Mo advocates simplicity, so there is no cumbersome ceremony in the auction, but Mo Zhiwei briefly introduced the number of lots and the rules of the auction, and it officially began.
The Mo family's auctions have been around for a long time, and are said to have a history of more than 200 years, originally just bartering with other families, and then gradually evolved into one of the major events on the mainland. Together with the medicine auction of the doctor, the weapon auction of the soldier, and the auction of the spirit beast of the farmer, it is called the four major auctions in the mainland.
The rules of the four major auctions are universal and relatively simple, except for paying some deposits, so as not to regret after auctioning the goods, everything else depends on the guests to consciously abide by it.
With Mo Zhiwei's introduction, the first lot was put up. Mo Lin looked at the audience and couldn't help but smile and whispered to Lin Bo beside him: "Can this simple machine be sold?" ”
The first lot is really very simple for the ink artists, just an ore separator that Mo Lin usually uses in their manufacturing.
Taking advantage of the different characteristics of various ores, the ore separator can easily break down the composite ore into two elemental ores. This plays a big role in smelting and is one of the common tools that every craftsman has.
To Mo Lin's surprise, such a simple equipment triggered the first rush to buy at the venue.
Thirty pieces of ore separators, priced at fifteen silver coins each. After six battles, in the end, it was the male envoy of the medical family who was very resolute in raising the price and defeating the little fat man of the soldier who was competing with him, and bought it at the price of forty silver coins each.
Mo Lin had been watching the bidding of the two sides curiously, and finally saw the little fat man hanging his head when he gave up, and then realized that the tool that was nothing to the Mo family was actually a treasure in the eyes of other families.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Mo Lin can also understand this truth. No matter how hard they tried, they were not as good as professional doctors, soldiers, and farmers in preparing medicines, forging weapons, and cultivating seeds and livestock, so the amount of money spent on purchasing these materials every year was quite staggering. If analyzed in this way, the Mo family felt that the precious materials must be the same as the ink masters looked at the ore separator in their eyes.
The next auction gradually became lively, the ore separator was just a foreshadowing, and with the appearance of the strange but very practical mechanical products made by the Mo family one by one, the envoys of the six great families have done their best.
Some of the products were specially designed and manufactured by the Mojia for a particular family, such as the latest design of the Mojia plough that can greatly improve the efficiency of ploughing, and the automatic mechanical seeding machine that is five times more efficient than manual seeding. This kind of machinery is obviously the favorite of the farmers, and other families will naturally not grab it.
There are also some products that are used by all the Maisons, such as the refrigerator that has recently been developed by the ink shaft. He added ice-based ore powder to the common wood raw materials, so that the interior of the wooden crate kept low all year round, which was perfect for storing perishable items.
The envoys of the peasants, the doctors, and the Taoists all salivated over the thirty refrigerators, and a fierce bid was launched. In the end, under the mediation of Mo Zhiwei, each family auctioned ten at a price more than three times the reserve price, which was considered a great joy.
In the blink of an eye, most of the auction had already been carried out, and Mo Lin roughly estimated that the Mo family had already earned tens of thousands of silver coins.
"Next, it will be the last three products, and the top three works of this year's artisan final test." Mo knows the taste.
The expressions on the faces of the envoys were already much lighter, they had almost bought everything they needed to buy, and the new craftsmen's works were not particularly worth looking forward to for them.
"The first product is the mechanical dog that won the third place in this final test." Mo Zhiwei said solemnly.
With Mo Zhiwei's introduction, He Xiaogong took his mechanical dog to the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Hello guests. He Xiaogong is also the first time to explain in front of so many people, and he is a little nervous. Fortunately, with Mo Zhiwei on the side to help him explain the principle and structure of the mechanical dog, he gradually calmed down.
"This mechanical dog has been modified by me to have a certain combat effectiveness and can be used for simple patrol and guard work." He Xiaogong proudly introduced his improvements.
"Could you please show me?" A grimacing envoy of the Legalist family seemed to be very interested in the mechanical dog, and asked.
"Absolutely." He Xiaogong put a thick splint on both arms, and after making sure that the protection was in place, he nodded to Mo Zhiwei.
Mo Zhiwei shouted at the mechanical dog: "Bite!" ”
The mechanical dog stood motionless on the ground in a daze, but when he heard Mo Zhiwei's command, he jumped up suddenly, the mechanical body rattled, the dog's mouth opened wide, revealing shiny steel teeth, and bit on the splint of He Xiaogong's arm.
With a "click", the two layers of thick splints were shattered under the bite of the steel teeth, which shows how great the force is at this time. After biting the splint, the mechanical dog did not let go, but hung on He Xiaogong's arm.
"Stop." Mo Zhiwei gave another command, and the mechanical dog let go, fell to the ground, and returned to a motionless state.
