Chapter 196: The Auction Begins
On the 15th of July, after several days of heavy rain, the Spark Collar finally cleared, and the people who cursed the rainy day complained about the scorching sun shortly after going out. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As the owner of a medium-sized chamber of commerce, Nick, a businessman who is less than 1.5 meters tall and has a beard and a wine trough nose, looked at the dazzling sun in the sky and decisively entered the luxuriously decorated carriage.
Taking advantage of the peace talks between the dwarves and the elves, he once again contacted his younger brother Dick on the dwarves' side, but fortunately, his shrewd brother did not have an accident in the previous war between the elves and the dwarves.
After the end of the war, the two brothers fought for many years by taking advantage of the reputation gained from the previous trade between humans and dwarves, and became successful among the merchants on the human and dwarf sides respectively.
And since he has always been a local businessman in the Spark Territory, there was a copy of Nick's invitation at the beginning this time, which made him feel very proud, especially when many businessmen from other places wanted to get an invitation but had no way, this pride was even stronger.
Although it has been rumored that someone has been selling invitations since then, he already has an invitation, so he has not investigated these things.
"Lord Giggs is really, the auction didn't say a specific time, now I have to pass early in the morning, if the specific time is written on the invitation, maybe I can still negotiate a deal~"
Shaking the invitation in his hand, he looked at the scene of people coming and going on the street through the window of the carriage, and couldn't help but read it in pieces.
The royal restaurant is Giggs's own property in the mansion, because Giggs announced the establishment of the Rising Sun Kingdom, considering the increase in the number of royal family members in the future, the assets belonging to the royal family are not good to mix with the Ministry of Finance, so Giggs directly handed over his previous savings to the recruited merchants under his command and began to develop some assets, at least to ensure the future expenses of the royal family.
And these recruited businessmen have also become employees of the royal family, enjoying a high social status while also handing over their future to the royal family, after all, if they want to do something, the intelligence service is not a vegetarian.
The merchants on the street in front of the royal restaurant were ordered not to open today, and of course, Giggs, who wanted to do this without wanting to lose the hearts of the people, naturally paid a sum of money as compensation for these merchants.
The inside and outside of the restaurant are covered with soldiers of the guards, not only to maintain the order and safety of the auction, but also to serve as a façade and guarantee for Giggs's travel.
Nick's coachman searched for a long time and finally found a vacant seat on the side of the street, quickly stopped the carriage, and looked at the signboard of the royal restaurant nearly a few hundred meters away from the carriage, Nick couldn't help but wail in his heart.
The long pain is better than the short pain, Nick walked directly on his little short legs, ran to the restaurant in a hurry, took out the invitation letter that was carefully protected, and after careful inspection by the guard soldiers at the door, Nick successfully entered the royal restaurant where he had not yet come.
The lavish décor and exquisite construction are completely in line with the fact that this building was designed to be dedicated to the accommodation and dining experience of the wealthy at the beginning of its opening, but what surprised Nick even more was that the temperature of the restaurant was so cool, not at all like the summer weather.
After receiving his number plate, Nick began to search for his seat by the number next to it, and finally saw his seat 67 on the second floor near the railing.
Seeing that there were still a few familiar faces around him, Nick also joined their conversation very simply, asking about the doubts that he had been having since he came in just now.
"Do you know why it's so cool here? I just looked around when I was looking for a spot, and I didn't find anything to put ice cubes. Moreover, even if ice cubes are put in, the temperature cannot be so low~"
"Hey, who should I be, it turned out to be Nick, this question of yours, we didn't know before we came, but just look at this and you'll know. The first item in the auction tonight is the drawing of this thing. A tall and thin businessman heard Nick's question and handed Nick a very delicately framed book.
Puzzled, he opened the cover made of leather, only to see that the first side of the book gave an object that looked a little strange.
"The air chiller drawings, powered by magic crystals, are able to reduce the temperature in a closed room by up to fifteen degrees on a hot summer day. As a heat-relieving artifact developed by King Giggs himself, it only needs a goblin or dwarven craftsman who is skilled in inscription engraving to make it. “
After seeing this introduction, Nick's eyes couldn't help but light up, maybe other people who bought this blueprint would have to spend a lot of energy to find goblins and dwarves who could engrave inscriptions, because it was still more troublesome for a human to look for dwarves.
But he has a younger brother who is almost no different from the dwarves now, but he is thriving on the dwarves' side, I believe it is not too difficult for him, as a businessman, of course he knows the business opportunities in this drawing, and he has made up his mind to get this drawing.
While looking through the other auction items in the booklet, Nick had some discussions with these peers from time to time, and when it was time for lunch, the royal restaurant specially prepared delicious snacks for the merchants who came in advance to satisfy their hunger.
Nick also knew that the auction would start at 3 p.m. and continue until 11 p.m., when the last lot was sold, and Ryan Giggs would be with them until the end of the auction.
Under this discussion among businessmen, as the number of people in the royal restaurant increased. The merchants were full of wealth and nobility, and the people in the royal restaurant were buzzing, until it was nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, with a shout from the door, Giggs entered the restaurant, and immediately made everyone stand up and pay the highest respect to the man who had built a kingdom for himself.
On the third floor of the restaurant, in a large open area specially prepared for Giggs, Giggs sat very calmly on a chair covered with fine pile cushions, and the only woman who followed Giggs in this auction was Diana, the dwarf Lori, who was pestering her.
Because the rest of the women knew that Giggs's action this time was actually more political, and Giggs also made it clear that the auction process would be very monotonous, so in the end, only this one already liked to stick to Giggs's little Lori.
After Giggs took his seat, he waited a little while, and one of Giggs's well-spoken secretaries announced the start of the auction, and under Giggs's teaching, the auctioneer, who already knew how to mobilize the atmosphere of these merchants and make them pay a little more money, excitedly introduced the first lot.
