Chapter 662: A Person's Name Triggers a Sale
The servants of the two families of Shantai and Linghu followed me? Nangong hired me to pick me up? Is there a connection here? Using domestic servants to follow Hu Ben to command such a childish move would not be a decision made by experienced people, if there is no accident, it should be those juniors who are playing tricks, and it is not good that Nangong hired to be in the same group as them, but that guy is more open.

Ding Kui slowly straightened out his thoughts.
How did my future daughter-in-law's family pull in? Even if they don't like it, they won't be able to come out on top. No, I have to be careful about what they do, stupid people often do stupid things, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't go too far.
The inspection office and the unknown people need more clues to judge, it is always easy to have problems when there is no one around me, and I haven't felt that the water in the capital is so deep when I come back, and I should leave the capital as soon as possible before the strength comes up.
"Young Master, Deacon Dong of the Lu Chamber of Commerce asks to see you. "He Cripple's work efficiency is quite high, and it didn't take long to get the people of the Lu Chamber of Commerce back.
"Yes, please. Ding Kui put aside the stalker's affairs first.
A thin man who looked like a monkey walked into the study quickly, glanced at Ding Kui and immediately bowed, and said, "Villain Dong Song, the deacon of the VIP Hall of the Shaodian National Association of the Lu Chamber of Commerce, I came to meet at the order of Ding Yuma. ”
Aha, good name, it's right to play mahjong to find him, know how to send.
Ding Kui smiled secretly in his heart, and responded seriously on the surface: "It turned out to be Mr. Dong, fortunately, please sit down." ”
"Ah, hehe, where is there a villain's seat in front of you, just stand up. "Dong Song is a person who specializes in serving high-level VIPs, and he is impeccable in both speech and etiquette.
Ding Kui knew that the duty of a person like Dong Song was to please others, so he didn't be polite to him, and asked directly: "What is the situation of your annual auction? Are there any conditions attached to my participation?"
Dong Song shook his head and waved his hand and said: "Don't joke with villains, we can't invite guests like you, why do you need any additional conditions?"
Every year, we collect a number of relatively rare objects for sale, and because of the more VIPs who come, who have valuable things that cannot be seen on the market will also be handed over to us for sale, and this annual auction is how it comes.
This year coincides with the five-year small feedback, in our annual auction the price of the items auctioned will be 90% off, the Lu Chamber of Commerce will give the VIP that 10% of the money, so the number of participants is more than in ordinary years, and there will be more people at that time when the big reward is once every ten years. ”
"How much is the big reward?"
"Eightfold. ”
"Twenty percent off, you can take it away for 800,000 for one million gold coins, this reward is really big enough, you can get a lot if you don't have to send the transaction fee, Lu Guoren is really good at trading. Ding Kui couldn't help but be speechless.
The auctions are basically large-scale transactions, and the ninety-fold and eight-fold conversion involves a large amount of money, and the Lu Chamber of Commerce can be said to have made a big profit.
"As long as the VIPs are satisfied, it is worth it for us to suffer a little. Dong Song smiled all over his face.
"Well, can I bring some people in?" Ding Kui became interested and decided to go to the auction to have a look.
"How many people do you want to take with you? I'll go back and apply to the Chamber of Commerce and do my best to meet your request." "Dong Song is afraid that Ding Kui will not go, why not go more people to see more things.
"About seven or eight friends, but most of them should have invitations. ”
"This is no problem at all, the Chamber of Commerce has specially reserved a VIP room for you, which can seat more than ten or twenty people, as long as you leave a domestic servant at the door, you can take your friends through a special passage to enter the VIP room, no invitation is required. ”
When He Cripple said that Ding Kui wanted to know about the auction, the Lu Chamber of Commerce had already reserved a VIP room.
"How simple is it?" Ding Kui said.
"This year's auction is scheduled for August 5th, and I will send you the auction list three days before it starts, and you can always tell me if you need to call up funds. Dong Song could see that Ding Kui was going.
"Hehe, I'm just going to take a look, and by the way, choose a gift for the princess. Ding Kui didn't think about buying big.
After sending Dong Song away, Ding Kui kept spinning in place, and there were words in his mouth: "I just remembered something important, why did I forget it in a blink of an eye?"
He Guangsheng passed by the door, saw Ding Kui's appearance very strange, ran into the study and asked, "Young master, what has been dropped?" I'll help you find it. ”
"I just can't remember what I lost. ”
"What else is there in the study besides books?"
"Book! Lose!Haha, I remembered it, I know how to send, why didn't I think of this thing?" Ding Kui patted his head, and that important thing was mahjong.
"Ah, is this the found?" He Guangsheng looked confused.
"Yes, you have done a great job, go back and let your grandfather reward you. Ding Kui put his arm around He Guangsheng's shoulders and led him out of the study, "Go and ask Steward Jiang to come over." ”
Mahjong, a tool for entertainment, but also a tool for gambling, mahjong parlors are not uncommon in areas where Chinese stay, and it is a good business if it is run well.
In the past, there were mahjong parlors everywhere in Ding Kui's city, and he didn't see a boss who lost money. He picked up a pen and wrote on the white paper, drawing on it, and drawing the appearance of mahjong in his memory.
Jiang Nai was in Ding's mansion, and when he received a report from He Guangsheng, he rushed over and saw Ding Kui concentrating on painting.
"What is this?" Seeing that Ding Kui had half drawn, Jiang Nai couldn't help but ask.
"It's a kind of chess, I'm sure a lot of people will like it, it's called mahjong. "Ding Kui finished painting the southeast and northwest and turned white, and was painting 10,000 tubes and so on.
"Do you want to make it?" Jiang Nai deserved to be the old housekeeper, and he could see at a glance the purpose of Ding Kui looking for him.
"That's right, it's better to use high-grade materials, and let the rich learn to play it first. Ding Kui saw the look of doubt on Jiang Nai's face, so he explained, "This thing is addictive, and it is very easy to gamble, the poor are already tired of making a living, how can they have time to play this; ”
"Wonderful, the young master's mind to do business is a must, magazines and chilled stores are what others can't think of and won't do, and now what kind of mahjong has been made, you have all the food, drink and entertainment, and there is no conflict with the traditional business overlords, it is difficult to convince you. Jiang Nai's vision is unique, and when he heard Ding Kui say this, he felt that mahjong had a future.
"It's less than ten days away from the annual auction of the Lu Chamber of Commerce, and I don't have time to publicize it, so I don't need to rush to make this mahjong, let's create a few samples for me to see, and I'll choose the best version." Ding Kui pinched his fingers and found that there was not enough time.
"Well, high-end materials need to be carefully created by skilled craftsmen, otherwise it is not good to waste materials, it just so happens that the old slave has a familiar craftsman master, and this matter is wrapped in the old slave. Jiang Nai knew it.
In addition to solving the quota of the auction, he also thought of mahjong, Ding Kui was in a good mood, and wanted to invite a few acquaintances to come to the house for two cups. The outside threat was not investigated, and he chose to stay at home as much as possible.
"It's no problem for the young master to find a friend to come back and sit, but ......" He lame man stopped talking.
"Well, if you say something, your family doesn't have so many scruples. Ding Kui sensed that He Cripple had something to say.
"Young master, you went to the battlefield after you got married, and some etiquette was not fulfilled and others couldn't say it, but you are now in the capital, and if you don't do it, you will cause criticism. "He lame is spitting, I hope Ding Kui can know if he doesn't say it too well.
"What's the matter? Am I not doing well?"
"That, that, shouldn't you visit the Long family?"
"Ahh What the hell am I thinking about this day? My father-in-law must go and see him, otherwise if he really suspects that I am married to the princess, he will not want Long Yan. You go and prepare a generous gift at once, and we will go to the Weiguo Mansion. ”
Ding Kui was recently stunned by the marriage, and even forgot to go to the Long family, and people were embarrassed to come over to urge the horse to visit his father-in-law, isn't this a competition for status with the king?
He Cripple immediately went to the warehouse, prepared a gift for Ding Kui to bring to the Long family, and left Ding Kui alone at the gate.
"Do you want to change your clothes? Forget it, it's okay today, save some trouble." Ding Kui looked down at the clothes on his body and muttered to himself.
At this time, a person walked in outside the door, black hair and yellow face are not tall, and his appearance is very ordinary, and you can't find it at all if you throw it into the crowd at a glance.
"Who are you, why are you coming to my house?" Ding Kui tilted his head and looked at the visitor.
The person who came said in a low and hoarse voice: "My name is Hua Nuan, and I am here to apply for a nursing home, please take me to meet the master here." ”
"Hua Egg?"
"Yes, warm warm. Hua Nuan was slightly stunned.
"Oh, hehe, I'm sorry. Brother Hua came to apply for a nursing home, but you don't have enough head. Ding Kui straightened his chest.
In fact, Hua Nuan is not very short, about 1.65 to 1.7 meters, but he is short in front of Ding Kui, and he has just reached Ding Kui's chin.
"I'm a knight, please don't insult me!" Hua Nuan stood shoulder to shoulder, her arms naturally drooped, and she had a posture of moving if she didn't agree with her.
Seeing this, Ding Kui said solemnly: "I'm sorry, Huanuan Knight, Ding Kui shouldn't judge people by his appearance, please accept my apology." ”
"You, you, your name is Ding Kui? is the master here?" Hua Nuan seemed to have been hit by an electric current, and his whole body trembled.
Yo, I'm so famous, it scares people.
Ding Kui thought that Hua Nuan had been suppressed by the self-registration number, and felt a little interesting, and said: "I am also a knight, and it is my fault that I failed to remain humble in front of you, and you don't care about my other identities." Judging by your movements and exhalation, you should be a Blade Knight, and from now on you will be a guardian of the Protector's Mansion. ”
"Ah, ah, ah, what should I do?" Hua Nuan's expression was a little flustered.
"Well, I'm just about to go out, so you can be my escort first. Ding Kui raised his hand and patted Hua Nuan's shoulder.
