Chapter Seventy-Four: Rags Make a Lot of Money
The display of the auction items is located in the most lit part of the hall, and the sunlight outside the window is just right on the display table.
At this time, the two glass beads and a "fairy tears" placed on the platform were shining under the illumination of the light, and the brilliance was dazzling, which caused everyone present to have straight eyes and reluctant to look away.
"Such a treasure, I'm sorry for such a beautiful thing when the price is low, I will pay two hundred and forty gold!"
Seeing that someone took the lead in quoting the price, others refused to lag behind, and bid one after another, vowing to take these two glass beads into their pockets.
"How can two hundred and forty gold be enough? I'll give you two hundred and eighty gold! ”
"Why don't I make it up, and I'll pay three hundred gold."
"Three Hundred and Twenty Gold ......"
Just called all the way down, and Shao Xi was a little panicked. He couldn't figure out how two marbles became treasures in the eyes of the ancients? Willing to give so much gold, this is simply unbelievable in the modern world.
The price went all the way to four hundred and sixty gold, and the scene gradually quieted down. Although they are all not bad money, it is indeed a little stressful for many of them to take out so much gold at once.
Shopkeeper Cao didn't seem to be satisfied with the price he was currently calling, so he stood up and said, "Everyone! Maybe you think that 460 gold is a very high price, but what I want to say next is that such a rare glass bead may not be owned even by the royal family, and now that the opportunity is in front of you, don't you want to seize this opportunity? A chance to own a royal treasure, a chance to rival all the treasures in the world. ”
I have to say that the business methods of Taihe Commercial Bank are indeed clever, and the words of the shopkeeper Cao immediately made the scene hot again, and some people couldn't bear to raise the price again.
"Don't say anything else, I'll pay five hundred gold directly, is there anyone higher than me?"
Shao Xi grinned when he heard this, and said in his heart that there are really a lot of rich people in Daliang City, Kyoto, and someone is willing to pay 500 gold for just two glass beads. How much is 500 gold? You have to do the math when you go back.
The price of five hundred gold is indeed not low, and many people present hesitated again.
At this moment, the voice of a man caused a commotion among everyone present.
"Six Hundred Gold ......"
The crowd began to talk.
"Six hundred gold? Bid 600 gold directly? Who would dare to fight for this? ”
"What a rich man!"
"I don't know whose lord it is? It's really admirable to shoot so generously. ”
While everyone was talking, Shao Xi looked at the person who made the bid. This person was wearing a black robe, a wide cloak covered his body, and his face could not be seen clearly, but he could only roughly see that this person was relatively thin, and his voice was not old, and he was estimated to be in his thirties.
"Good! Now that someone has paid 600 gold, has anyone offered a higher price? If anyone wants to bid, hurry up, otherwise the treasure will be obtained by this nobleman. ”
After repeatedly confirming that no one bid, the shopkeeper Cao finally decided that the glazed beads belonged to the guest in the black robe.
Shao Xi was so happy at this moment, it was six hundred gold! That's 600 gold! Just two glass beads were sold for this money, thinking about it, if he sold all his things, wouldn't he become one of the few richest people in this Daliang City?
When Shao Xi was excitedly discussing with Lao Wu where to go for a big meal for a while, he turned his head and saw that this old guy didn't know where he had gone? It is estimated that there may be another urgency to urinate.
At this time, only the last lot remained, which was the "Fairy Tears", which was named by Shao Xi, which was appropriate.
Anyone who has seen "Rupert's Tears" knows that this thing is not only extremely hard, but also refracted light on the surrounding surface, which looks like it is wrapped in a small rainbow, which is very pleasing to the eye, and these small physical and optical characteristics have become a terrible thing in the mouth of the shopkeeper Cao.
"Everyone! This is the last item of the day, and the most valuable item of the day, and I have said it many times to all of you, and now I want to introduce it to you why it is called that. ”
Cao's shopkeeper's trickery, Shao Xi sincerely admires it. Shao Xi knows best why this thing is called "Fairy Tears", but he thinks that it is too unauthentic to call a foreign name to take a local name, and he didn't think much about it at first, and he didn't know what new tricks this shopkeeper Cao was going to play.
"The reason why this thing is called 'fairy tears' is not only because it is as wonderful as the colorful glow, but more importantly, it is extremely hard, and it is difficult to hurt it with knives and axes, as the so-called fairy tears are condensed, it can be said that it is a rare hard thing in this world, this is a divine object!"
As soon as Shao Xi heard Shopkeeper Cao's explanation, he almost slipped directly from his seat to the ground. This simple appearance cooled down rapidly, making the physical tension relatively concentrated, and it turned into a mythical story in the mouth of the shopkeeper Cao, which is also too good to make up!
However, I have to say that the story of this shopkeeper is really good, and these dignitaries in the field were not calm for a moment when they heard that this thing was a divine object.
"Don't say so much, just talk about the reserve price, we have to bid now."
Shopkeeper Cao saw that the nonsense he made up had an effect, and hurriedly quoted the reserve price.
"The reserve price of this item is 300 gold, there is no cap, you can pay as much as you have for your nobles! This opportunity doesn't happen every day. ”
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I'll pay three hundred and fifty gold!"
"I'll pay three hundred and eighty gold!"
"Four Hundred Gold ......"
Shao Xi's heart was panicked when he listened to it below, thinking in his heart, is it okay to cheat other people's money like this? I didn't get a lot of this thing with Guo Youde back then, but some of it seemed to have impurities, so I threw it away. If they are all sold, it is estimated that the entire Daliang City will be able to buy them.
The things that Shao Xi took out to sell today, if they were placed in the original world, would be commonplace and worthless. Now it's good, it's really turning waste into treasure, and now Shao Xi really knows what it means to exchange rags for money.
Just when Shao Xi was thinking about it in his heart, the price of this "fairy tear" had been raised to a full seven hundred and eighty gold.
Shao Xi is really panicked!
If one day it is known that this thing can be made casually, I wonder if the person who bought it will hire people to hunt him all over the world, he really didn't want to sell it so expensive.
When the price rose to eight hundred and sixty gold, the scene began to gradually quiet, and everyone was hesitating whether to continue to increase the price. And at this moment, the black-robed man offered the price again, shocking the audience again.
"A Thousand Gold ......"
"Boom ......"
The scene was a sensation all at once.
Everybody's talking about who this person is? Why is it always the highest price every time you sell? The price he offered, I think that the people in this scene can no longer find the ability to compete with it.
Shopkeeper Cao saw that the price had reached this position, and he didn't want to have any other changes, so he immediately decided to sell this "fairy tears" to the black-robed man at a price of 1,000 gold.
Shao Xi never dreamed that the eye stone was only sold for two hundred and eighty gold that day, but the glass gadget he got was sold for 1,600 gold. If he had said this when he was a security guard, everyone would have laughed at him for being an idiot.
The auction ended with the final sale of "Fairy Tears", and everyone left the venue one after another. Those who find the goods will be arranged to enter various small rooms for more private delivery of silver goods, which is also the rule of Taihe Trading House, not only to do business, but also to keep secrets for all customers.
Although Shao Xi also photographed something, he didn't have any cash on him, so he had to wait for tea in the tea pavilion on the third floor, and wait until everyone else was handed over, and then make the delivery with Cao's shopkeeper.
From a distance, watching the buyers of the goods leave happily with their treasures, Shao Xi's mood at this time is also quite happy, after all, today's income is something he dare not think of in his life, so he is also very patient to drink tea and wait slowly.
When he saw the black-robed man leaving with the wooden box in his arms, Shao Xi knew that everyone's formalities had been completed, and it was his turn.
The guy from the firm ran to say that Shopkeeper Cao was invited, so Shao Xi came to Shopkeeper Cao's room.
"Shopkeeper Cao, thank you for helping me so much today, you should charge as much as you want for this commission, don't be polite to me."
Shopkeeper Cao said with a smile: "Don't be busy, don't be busy!" Let's finish handing over what we got today. ”
As he spoke, he pushed a wooden box in front of Shao Xi.
"This Tiantian eye stone is sold for two hundred and eighty gold, and Gongzi you bought a gold silk soft armor, which happens to be two hundred and eighty gold, this price is offset by two phases without calculation, this gold silk soft armor is now Gongzi yours."
Shao Xi asked a little puzzled: "Shopkeeper Cao, although the price is two hundred and eighty gold, but presumably the person who entrusts your bank to sell this soft armor, you must have taken a commission, why don't you take a commission for the Tianyan Stone I sell?" ”
"Childe's words are outward, Childe can hold the gold medal of our big shopkeeper in his hand, he is already a VIP of my Taihe Commercial Bank, how can you draw your commission for the first transaction today? It's all what we should do, and I don't need to mention it again. ”
"In this case, then the items I entrust your bank to sell next, and please ask your bank to draw commissions according to the rules.
Shopkeeper Cao smiled happily: "Childe is really a reasonable person, since this is the case, then we will take a commission for the items sold later, here is the 1,600 gold that Childe got today, and please take it away." ”
Shao Xi looked at the stack of silver tickets handed over by the shopkeeper Cao, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"There's a silver ticket here, too? Shopkeeper Cao, how long has it been for us in the Central Plains to use this silver ticket? ”
"Since the beginning of the Jingyuan Dynasty, there have been cases of printing silver stamps on this paper instead of large sums of gold and silver."
"Aren't you afraid that someone will forge it?"
When Shopkeeper Cao heard this, he smiled, "Childe, look at the words printed under this silver ticket." ”
Shao Xi picked up a silver ticket and looked at it carefully, only to see eight small characters printed on the bottom of the silver ticket: "Those who forge will be beheaded by the nine clans." ”
"Good fellows! Fake the death of the whole clan. ”
