Chapter 61: The Mysterious Skinny Old Man
At this time, almost all of the people who were watching the excitement on the side knew Kong Ming, the second young master of the Kong family, and thought that Kong Ming was going to joke with this thin old man, so they said next to him:
"Yes, fair trade, the highest price wins! Except for Second Young Master Kong, I'm afraid that no one can afford the high price of twenty silver coins anymore!"
"You little old man, do you have the eyesight to see a child? This one next to you, but the famous second young master of the Kong family, will he take advantage of you?"
"Little old man, if you can climb the high branch of the second young man of the Kong family, it must be that your ancestor burned high incense! What else is there to hesitate, twenty silver coins should be sold quickly!"
"By the way, remind you, little old man, since you shouted 'the highest bidder wins', and Second Young Master Kong's bid is the highest in the audience, this transaction is considered completed. You can't go back, or you'll break the rules of this auction!"
............
Listening to the discussions of everyone around him, the thin old man really wanted to cry without tears. He could understand the meaning of everyone's words: if Kong Ming's bid of twenty silver coins was the highest price in the audience, then the "treasure map" in his hand belonged to Kong Ming.
Seeing that everyone around them was vying to speak for Second Young Master Kong, how could someone be uninteresting and run out to bid with Second Young Master Kong?
It seems that these twenty silver coins are really a magic obstacle for me today!
In the end, the thin old man could only stretch out a hand to Kong Ming pitifully, and said, "Okay, twenty silver coins are twenty silver coins, little old man, I really poured eight lifetimes of mold today! Who said that the auction is an easy place to get rich? Little old man, I will lose all my money!!"
The thin old man kept shaking his head and sighing as he spoke. Kong Ming smiled indifferently, handed a silver ticket to the thin old man's hand, and said: "Sometimes, to suffer a loss is to take advantage! Sometimes, if you take advantage, you may suffer a loss! In this world, there are no absolutes in the world, and who can say clearly about taking advantage and suffering losses?"
The thin old man took the silver ticket from Kong Ming's hand, glanced at Kong Ming deeply, then sighed and left the auction hall with a shrunken hand.
Many people who watched the excitement laughed loudly, thinking that the appearance of this thin old man was completely to add laughter to everyone. Moreover, the second young master of the Kong family is also very funny, and he would rather spend twenty silver coins than make a joke with this thin old man! Why didn't you see it before, the second young master of the Kong family is still such a person with humorous cells?
However, among these people who watched the excitement, who knew what kind of story twenty silver coins had for Kong Ming and the thin old man?
Everyone treats the thin old man as a joke, but do you know if the thin old man is also laughing at all beings?
At least, there were still people in the auction hall who saw that the thin old man was a little weird, and Merlin was one of them!
As an excellent businessman, Mei Lin did not dare to say that she was familiar with all the 300 guests who participated in the auction, but at least she had some impressions. However, this thin old man is obviously not among the three hundred guests!
Since the Cuenca City Chamber of Commerce Alliance dared to hold such a large-scale auction, the relevant security measures were naturally achieved to the extreme, if there were outsiders who could sneak in unknowingly, Mei Lin would not believe anything. At least, from this thin old man's body, Mei Lin couldn't feel the slightest fluctuation of Yuan power, so it wasn't that such a thin old man was actually a hidden powerhouse, right?
Moreover, looking at the appearance of this thin old man, it is obvious that he has a story with the second young master of the Kong family! Since the appearance of this thin old man did not bring any trouble to the auction, why bother to get to the bottom of him?...,
As a businessman, in the absence of interests, it is naturally better to have more than one thing! So, in Mei Lin's heart, she quickly put down the matter of the thin old man, and what she is most concerned about now is how much profit this auction can bring to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance!
In the end, the annual auction in Cuenca City came to a successful conclusion, and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance naturally made a lot of money, and the Kong family became the biggest winner in this auction!
The three fathers and sons of the Kong family, plus Moyue and Qin De, when the group walked out of the auction hall together, it can be said that they all had smiles on their faces. After all, the Kong family took advantage of the auction this time, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?
However, what was somewhat unexpected was that when Kong Ming and his party had just left the auction hall, a thin figure blocked their way.
This thin figure is the mysterious thin old man, as for his purpose in stopping Kong Ming, of course, it is not to block the road and rob, but to solve a question in his heart!
"Second young master, you won't mind if little old man calls you that, right? There is one thing that little old man really wants to know the truth of Lu Dao! Is that ring really Torya's ring? You pity poor little old man's body bones, just tell little old man the truth!"
Kong Ming smiled slightly, slowly raised his hand, and then, as if playing a trick, took the "treasure map" directly from the storage space in his hand, and then put it back into the storage space. If it was three times in a row, the thin old man didn't even blink an eye.
After a long time, the thin old man sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's really Torya's Ring! Why didn't I see it before? Alas, these eyes are really not as good as being blind! The treasure is right in front of you but you miss it, it's really a joke!"
After shaking his head and sighing for a long time, the thin old man raised his head and looked at Kong Ming and said, "The second young master is right, whoever suffers a loss will take advantage, this matter is not clear." In short, if someone suffers a loss, someone will definitely take advantage! If the second young master, you have pity on me, a little old man, you can go to the little old man's residence to see me when you have a chance in the future. By the way, the little old man's name is Eugene, and he lives in the wild forest, and the place name is Fengleiling, but it is not easy to find. Alas, I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future!"
As the thin old man spoke, he turned around and walked away slowly, looking at his shrunken back, it was quite funny, but Kong Ming had a thoughtful expression.
Obviously, this thin old man is definitely a mysterious figure! Even though he looks weak and impenetrable, Kong Ming does not underestimate him in the slightest, and keeps his appearance firmly in his heart.
Because Kong Ming has a feeling: one day in the future, he will definitely meet this thin old man again!
