Chapter 145: Ten Thousand Gold Auction
Clear sky, clear water and blue sky. Under the cool sunshine of late autumn, Beihai City, located in the northernmost part of the Eastern Continent and located on the coast of Beihai, is filled with a cheerful and lively atmosphere.
The osmanthus trees of Huangdiandian, the golden cosmos, the red kapok, and the hot zinnia decorate the city with colorful and joyful spirits. Thousands of households are planted with dogwoods, and the autumn is high and refreshing.
On this day, in the central street of Beihai City, it was very lively, many merchants, big families, princes and nobles, led a large team of guards and attendants, drove the phoenix chariot and dragon car, mighty and mighty, and invariably marched slowly towards an ancient and majestic dome-like building.
Originally a site from ancient times, this domed building was renovated by the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce and transformed into the largest auction venue in Beihai City. The 10,000-gold auction that united more than a dozen large-scale business alliances from four continents was about to be held here.
Poetry clouds: Rui Qi auspicious sky, golden light Wandao. The benevolent wind is light and light, and the sun is very beautiful. Thousands of maids are worn before and after, and the five guards are lined up on both sides. Holding the golden gun, the axe, the double pair, the silk candle, the incense of the imperial furnace, the haze is dignified. Nine oxen and phoenix, ten dragons. Wealthy businessmen and businessmen are golden, and princes and grandsons are linked. Jiefu millennium over Shunyu, Shengping Bandai Saiyao soup.
The people who can enter the venue today to participate in the auction are either the presidents of the major chambers of commerce, or the princes and nobles of the major ancient countries, and none of them are not prominent and wealthy.
Bei Yuanting, the president of the Nawanjin Chamber of Commerce, with many attendants, stood in front of the door of the venue early, greeting those guests and friends from all over the world with a smile.
You see, the head of Nabei is well-dressed. Wearing a gold silk crown, wearing a collar embroidered brocade robe, stepping on a pair of unicorn boots, a white jade belt around the waist, full of red light, and giving up the gift. The face is full of red light, and people are in good spirits at happy events. Give up the courtesy, smile and welcome friends from all directions.
Many of the businessmen who came to the venue were old friends of Pei Yuanting, and it was natural for friends to have a greeting when they met.
Here, a team of attendants, leading a cart pulled by ten pure white Sacred Court yaks, had just stopped. Two beautiful maids walked down with a noble lady in their arms. Although this lady is a. But it is very good at maintenance, the noodles contain spring, and the charm still exists.
This person's background is not small, the big name is Yuan Wei. It is the second largest chamber of commerce on the Eastern continent today. The current president of the Yuan Chamber of Commerce. Although the Yuan Chamber of Commerce and the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce are both from the Xia Kingdom. But it's much older than history.
When the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce was still a small commercial house facing bankruptcy, the Yuan's Chamber of Commerce was already a strong man on the side of Xia Guofu. It is said that the rise of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce was still inextricably linked with the Yuan family.
Seeing Yuan Wei, Pei Yuanting led people down the steps quickly. He smiled and said: "Sister Yuan, don't come to be harmless, Xia Guo has reached thousands of rivers and mountains, I didn't expect you to also arrive in Beihai City, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome!"
Yuan Wei hid her face and smiled, returned the courtesy, and said jokingly: "I heard that Shao Kangjun was a guest in the mansion, how dare I come to the door to disturb me!"
"Sister Yuan said with a smile, that is Shao Kangjun can afford to be below, please take a seat first, wait for a few days after the auction is over, and let me do my best to be a landlord!" Bei Yuanting said with a smile, and someone brought Yuan's party into the venue.
A gust of wind blew over there, blowing the onlookers' robes and hair into the air, and it turned out to be a group of dozens of fiery red flying beasts that landed on the square in front of the venue. More than two hundred guards wearing leather helmets descended from the backs of the flying beasts, and an old man dressed in white hair walked up the steps.
These are dwarves from the volcanic regions of the southern continent, and due to their perennial cave mining, they are shorter than other humans, but they have a lot of strength. The boiling red fruit that only bears fruit once in 10,000 years, the elixir that nourishes the primordial spirit, and the necessary thing to seal the reverse scales are found in the place where the nine veins converge when the dwarves are mining.
As soon as Bei Yuanting saw Yuan Wei enter the venue, he turned around to greet the old man in the dwarf race, and said, "The chairman of the Iron Hammer Chamber of Commerce's Moro has come to the venue in person, which really makes Beihai City shine!"
"President Bei is polite, I have to thank you for taking care of our business in the Eastern Continent, Ha Luha!" the dwarf old man bowed his hand in return, and said with a hearty smile.
This Iron Hammer Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce alliance of many dwarf tribes, and belongs to the third largest business alliance on the southern continent, mainly selling goblins, mineral deposits and elixirs grown in volcanic areas, etc., and has extremely close cooperation with the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce on the Eastern Continent.
The southern continent is separated by dozens of countries in the vast South China Sea, and the two have not seen each other for a long time, so they patted their shoulders and hugged each other and exchanged pleasantries. Pei Yuanting then ordered someone to take those flying beasts down so that they could be fed, and personally sent the dwarf and his party to the VIP seats.
Suddenly, there were several loud noises from the other side of the square, and several huge iron anchors fell from the sky, smashing several deep craters into the boulder ground of the square. Pei Yuanting led people to hurry out to take a look, and it turned out that several huge flying ships were roaring, directly docked in the square in front of the venue!
"Who is so arrogant, driving an airship that does not dock at the city's airport, but drives directly here?" said one of the guards of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce angrily, and wanted to go up and ask for an explanation.
Bei Yuanting hurriedly stopped it, pointed to the stern of an airship and said: "You see there is a golden bull flag there, it must be the Wall Chamber of Commerce from the Western Continent that has arrived, they are not good, don't act rashly!"
Before the words fell, I saw dozens of people falling on the flying ship, all of them with high martial arts, and the weakest one was also the strength of the Human Fairyland. A man at the head, with a slender body, blond hair and blue eyes, long hair fluttering, wearing a set of white fine scale heavy armor, and a red cloak on his shoulder, walked up to Bei Yuanting, and said with a smile in an unkind tone: "I am Di Yun, the vice president of the Wall Chamber of Commerce in the Western Continent, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." Hehe, the floor of this square is not smashed, and President Pei won't blame us for breaking like this, right?"
Bei Yuanting squinted and smiled, and Shi Li said: "The ship of the Wall Chamber of Commerce is big sails, I think it is the first time to come back to Beihai City, and I can't recognize the way, so I don't have to do it, I don't have to do it." I don't know if President Ren's body is still strong, why don't you see him come to join in the fun?"
Na Di Yun's eyes rolled. The heart said that this Wanjin Chamber of Commerce really had two hits. The western continent is separated by two continents and an ocean, 59,700 miles apart. Although it was the first time for their Wall Chamber of Commerce to officially set foot on the Eastern Continent, because of their reputation, it was not surprising that others would recognize the banner of the Chamber of Commerce. It's just that their president's whereabouts are erratic, and he rarely shows up, but this president Bei seems to recognize it, and he thinks that the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce has also laid a lot of eyeliner on the Western Continent. Immediately, his tone softened slightly, and he arched his hand and asked, "President Ren Shenlong sees the head but not the end." We don't know where he is. Does President Bay recognize him?"
"Hehe, I had a one-sided relationship in a hurry, and I don't recognize it. You must be tired from the long journey, please go and rest first. The auction is about to begin. Pei Yuanting replied ambiguously. While arranging for people to bring this group into the venue.
Di Yun listened. Taken aback, I don't know if this president has personally been to the Western Continent, or if their own president has been here. I wanted to ask, but I saw that Pei Yuanting had already turned around to greet the other guests. I had to wave my sleeves and lead my men into the venue with the attendant.
The venue was full of people and friends. Pei Yuanting waited at the gate until most of the guests came before turning around and entering, to prepare for the auction at the end.
"Hey, hey, the one over there, this 10,000-gold auction is not for anyone to enter, don't come here to watch if you don't have anything to do!"
At this time, on the side of the auction gate, there was a burst of laughter and scolding, it was an ordinary-looking, plainly dressed young man, with a long cloth bag on his shoulder, who was about to enter the venue, but was stopped by a long-faced guard.
Look at him, wearing a Zhuangzi square scarf on his head, wearing a coarse linen straight jacket, stepping on old silkworm cloth shoes, and wearing a cowhide belt around his waist, he looks honest, and he has no mounts or retinues, but he dares to break through the door of the 10,000-gold auction alone.
"I'm not here to watch, I'm here to attend the auction......," the young man said earnestly, fumbling in the long cloth bag for a while, and handing over a gold-lettered invitation.
This time, the guests who came to the auction all had this kind of gold sticker in their hands. The gold sticker not only indicates the identity of the guest, but also a mortgage note, because all the families or chambers of commerce participating in this world auction must first deposit five million taels of gold into the money bank of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce as a credit guarantee.
In other words, this gold sticker is worth five million taels of gold at auction. If the purchase exceeds this amount, the bidder will need to present another silver ticket or the equivalent on the spot in order to continue bidding.
The guard took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was a gold post issued by their Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, which clearly said "Zhumen Clan", and squinted at the young man, and said in his heart that this was not where he picked it up!
Although this idea is a bit unrealistic, the gold sticker has runes on it that cannot be lost or stolen unless the person so wishes. But who entered and exited through this gate was not dressed in gold and silver, and who did not have a few guards and maidservants with them?
The long-faced guards had been guarding the gate of the auction for most of the day, and it was the first time that they had seen someone dressed up like this and walk to the venue. I wanted to make it difficult a few more words, but a few distinguished guests came in front of the door, so I had to wave my hand impatiently to let them in.
The young man surnamed Zhu was not angry or argued, took the gold sticker and put it in his bag, and walked into the tall and brilliant hall alone.
After a while, the long-faced guards arranged the brightly dressed and guarded groups of guests with smiling faces, and they didn't even look at the gold stickers in their hands, and just about to forget about the affairs of the youth, a handsome young man in black hurriedly walked in front of them.
"Hey, hey, all the little cubs trying to sneak in from me today!"
The long-faced guard thought as he stretched out his hand to stop the young man and asked, "Don't be busy walking inside, do you have a gold sticker in your hand?"
The young man was in a good mood, but when he was suddenly stopped, he frowned and said, "What kind of gold sticker? Where is your commander Xu?"
"Oh, you kid is so ignorant, what are you doing here without Jin Tie? How can you see Commander Xu? Hurry up and go, don't get in the way here!" the long-faced guard shouted.
The young man was angry at first, but then he thought that there were seven or eight thousand guards from the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce, and it was impossible for everyone to recognize him, so there was no need to argue with others here, so he smiled and said: "This big brother doesn't know how to do things, why don't you want to drive me away without asking who I am?"
When the long-faced guard heard this, he said impatiently: "Hmph, I don't care who you are, there is no gold sticker, even if the king of heaven is here, don't think about going in today." How old are you kids, and you dare to teach me how to do things!"
Seeing that this man was rude, the young man did not want to say anything to him, and just wanted to report his home, but he heard someone behind him shouting his name. Looking back, it was Xu Tianjiu, the head of the guard of the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce, who was escorting the family team of the Sect Ghost to the gate of the auction.
Seeing the young man, Xu Tianjiu jumped off the land game beast in surprise and swept over, and said loudly: "Brother Mingsnake, you can make it easy for us to find it!"
It turned out that this black-clothed young man was none other than Yang Rui, the singing snake who had been missing in Beihai City for two days and two nights!
At this time, the long-faced guard who stood in the way trembled, regretting why he didn't ask the other party's name just now, and actually bumped into this young man who turned the black street upside down, with a depressed look, and said in his heart that retribution came too quickly, and this time he would have to suffer!
(If you want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.) (To be continued......)
