Chapter 197: Maritime Affairs

The price of 600,000 taels has exceeded the price that Zhao Hengyi had expected!

This is not a copper plate, it is the silver of the white flowers of the special meow!

It is said that Yangzhou City is luxurious, and now, Zhao Hengyi has opened his eyes!

When the price exceeds 600,000 taels, the price increase becomes slow, as if those who bid for it deliberately leave it to competitors to weigh up, and in a psychological game, there will always be people who give up first.

With the continuous bidding, the atmosphere of the whole auction gradually changed, and the shock of suddenly seeing the glass pagoda at the beginning slowly walked out, and everyone's attention shifted to the rising outrageous prices.

Because of avoiding suspicion, Hengtong Trading did not send anyone to follow Zhao Hengyi, and Xining beside him was also very unfamiliar with the top trench merchants in Yangzhou City, so those who still insisted on bidding, Zhao Hengyi did not know the identity of the other party.

However, Zhao Hengyi keenly discovered that until the sky-high price of 600,000 taels, the people who were still unwilling to give up were not the same group of people who were full of confidence at the beginning!

Moreover, those who were sitting in the best position under the booth at the beginning did not look very good-looking, and let others continue to shout prices, but they no longer made a sound.

These people know each other well, which can be seen in the mutual greetings they exchanged before the auction starts, and the mutual humility and nodding of each other during the auction of the lots in the previous pad field.

And now those who are still insisting on shouting are all sitting on the edge of the venue on the third floor, and even a few of them are like Zhao Hengyi, and they didn't get into the position at all......

These people's faces were gloomy, and their eyes were extremely unkind when they looked at others, and the entourage they brought with them also exuded a fierce and even fierce aura......

Even those guards who maintain order, as if someone had explained in advance, did not dare to approach those strange bidders...... These people are really weird.

"Brother-in-law, let's go first."

Xining was born in the palace, and he was forced by life to be the best at observing words and feelings, although he didn't see anything, but he instinctively noticed that the atmosphere was not good, "The treasure has been seen, and it can be regarded as an eye-opener, and it will be crowded when it ends...... Let's go home early. ”

Eye-opening, naturally worried that someone would overhear the conversation between the two, Xining, who has been accustomed to seeing people since childhood, has always been very cautious when she is outside, perhaps except when she stays in Elm Bay.

This is also why Zhao Hengyi will bring Xining, who has little combat effectiveness, to watch the auction together, this kid's brain is too bright, and because his own experience is extremely forbearing, and the angle of thinking about things is different from everyone else, he will always draw some strange opinions through clues, so Zhao Hengyi attaches great importance to it.

In the view of Zhao Hengyi, who has been a human being in two lifetimes, people's abilities can be cultivated, and even thoughts can be transformed, but some things that are born and grow in their bones are difficult to change.

Xining's tragic experience since he was a child made him inevitably different from ordinary people in terms of thinking, and even prone to extreme or distorted thoughts, but it was everything he experienced that shaped him now in a sense.

And the big dye vat in the palace is even more similar to raising Gu, and Xining can emerge from it, which is not a kind of strong person after screening.

These, Zhao Hengyi thinks that if he changes his identity, he will definitely not be able to do everything that Xining has done.

On the contrary, Xining is sincerely friendly to Miao Xiaoyu and the six little ones, and even can be called loyal, and the lack of family and affection in his life makes him put all his expectations and desires for family and family affection on the kind Miao Xiaoyu and the six little ones.

In addition, Zhao Hengyi's imperfect Datong theory hit Xining's life directly, so Zhao Hengyi has now accepted Xining, and has the plan to gradually let Xining get in touch with the core secrets and cultivate him step by step.

"More than 600,000 taels, it's really an eye-opener, I've been hit, let's go home and earn money, let's go."

Zhao Hengyi smiled and muttered a few words to Xining, pulling the kid's arm and squeezing towards the staircase together.

"Six hundred and fifty thousand taels! Hehehe, the old man wants to see how many families the Haisha Gang has today! Du Laosan, follow on! ”

Zhao Hengyi and Xining had already squeezed to the staircase, but the sound of bidders fighting each other could be heard behind them.

"Sixty-five hundred and one thousand taels, my Haisha Gang is a bunch of poor ghosts, with no family background, I laughed."

A gloomy voice sounded, presumably it was Na Du Laosan.

The rules of the auction are to increase the price at least 1,000 taels at a time, so Du Laosan will bid 651,000 taels, if he is allowed to increase the price by one tael, I am afraid that he will really only increase the price by one tael!

"Hairy eggs! Six hundred and sixty thousand taels! ”

Zhao Hengyi's body stagnated, returned to normal in an instant, and squeezed down the stairs with Xining in the cracks, and the shouting and the sound of mutual ridicule behind him had nothing to do with him.

The price was so high that all the famous local trench merchants stopped bidding...... It turned out that the gang was also there.

The richest group of people in the southeast is not the salt merchants.

The salt merchants became famous solely because of the wealth of these guys, which was visible to everyone, and many of them had accumulated over several generations.

It can even be said that there are fixed channels for the accumulation of wealth by salt merchants, even if the amount of wealth obtained will be somewhat different every year because of the different shares they compete for, but the stable financial resources are finally digested within this group.

But another group of wealthy people who are not well known to the world are maritime merchants.

It's just that, compared with the salt merchants, most of the maritime merchants are the spokesmen of the family, most of them are low-key, and even many people have bad opinions about their business, and they are even more mixed, and outsiders rarely know the inside story.

When it comes to maritime merchants, you can't get around pirates, and if you want to get wealth from the sea, you must first have the power to protect yourself.

The Haisha Gang, which has just been mentioned, is a well-known gang in the coastal area, and it is said that it is very good at sea and has an extremely brave style...... Presumably, those who are still bidding today are roughly of a similar identity.

This is also the reason why the local trench merchants no longer participate in the competition for the glazed pagoda.

If you really have to take out more money than anyone else, the sitting tiger in Yangzhou City may not be able to fight for a role like the Haisha Gang.

But people are holding knives and handles in their hands, and they really make trouble, and they don't even talk about the reason, far from being comparable to the official army or regimental training, although the local trench merchants are the head snakes of the land, but they don't want to make enemies with people like the Haisha Gang because of a glass treasure, so they are simply pressed by these cross-river dragons.

Zhao Hengyi walked out of Songhe Tower, with the invitation in his hand, a soldier who maintained law and order on the street took the initiative to escort him, went out of the street, got into the carriage prepared in advance, and returned to the house purchased by Hengtong Firm.

"Brother-in-law, those people...... Is it a maritime merchant? ”
