Chapter 34 The Rich Chrysanthemum House (II)
It's not from the chrysanthemum house that spent thousands of dollars to buy a long sword before.
It's not a plum house that competes with the chrysanthemum.
Not to mention the rest of the six houses on the second floor that have not been silent.
The madness of 30,000 taels came from an unknown merchant in the hall on the first floor, with a slightly chubby figure, a ruddy complexion, and a brocade robe.
After seeing that everyone was looking at him, the brocade merchant coughed twice in embarrassment, and hurriedly confessed: "The little girl in the family asked, and the old man couldn't help it, otherwise it would be difficult to go back. ”
As soon as these words came out, several people in the audience also showed the same bitter and doting smiles.
Yes, who called this willow is really too attractive.
Sure enough, when 40,000 taels of silver were shouted out in the private room on the second floor, the previous brocade-robed merchant smiled bitterly and no longer participated in the auction.
Since the auction has been held from the beginning of the preliminary planning to the finale auction, the confidentiality measures of each link have been very good, especially the VIPs in the box on the second floor, who do not know each other's details.
Apart from...... The boss Yuan Youtao.
Who would have thought that the owner of the auction would personally go down and buy what he was going to sell?
There were even a few times when the price was raised.
If it spreads, it will definitely make people scold a shameless sentence.
"The one who sold 40,000 taels is the eldest son of the Hu family in Runan City, Huangzhou, who used to have a relationship in Los Angeles, and heard that his younger brother worshiped a certain cultivation sect in Kunlun Mountain, presumably he bought this "Yulin Bell" to use for his younger brother's enlightenment. ”
Yuan Youtao knows the identity of each guest well, because he personally evaluated and selected the invitations, in order to grasp their needs and maximize their own interests.
However, since he said earlier that he wanted to give this painting to Lan Qingqing during the meal, the bid of the rest of the people was meaningless.
Yuan Youtao only waited for a price that could calm everyone down before he made a move, and then won it in one fell swoop.
"Sixty thousand taels. ”
According to Yuan Youtao, these people are either for the needs of the enlightened people around them, or they have a cultivation sect directly behind them as a backer, so they dare to shout so indifferently.
Their ultimate goal is the enchantment map of Luyang Moonwatch.
Most practitioners do not set foot in the world, but they will eventually come into contact, for example, at this time when it is necessary to auction off some things that practitioners themselves also need, it is inevitable that there will be some kind of coexistence relationship, such as the sect supporting the secular industry.
Cultivators practice the path of immortals, take the path of immortality, and naturally look down on worldly money, and have never heard of cultivators making trouble for money that leads to big fights, but there are often some things that are not worldly in the world, so at this time you need some worldly methods to solve your own needs.
Practitioners don't have money, but they have resources that are more precious than money.
Supporting the family or going down to the mountains to preach are some of the channels that connect with the world, so that it will be much easier to do anything, especially under the strict control of the Divine Dynasty.
Yuan Mei, as a member of the Yuan family, naturally favored his own young master without a trace, and before the auction, he had already got the idea that the young master wanted to buy back "Yulin Bell", so he gave full play to the seller's means and raised the price step by step to the range that the young master wanted.
"Eighty thousand taels. ”
"Eighty-five thousand taels. ”
"One hundred thousand taels. ”
The last voice directly shouted the price of 100,000 taels of silver.
There was an uproar in the hall on the first floor, you must know that 100,000 taels may be the entire net worth of your business, but listening to the tone of the private room on the second floor, it is like giving money to a beggar without care.
Previously, Yuan Mei made an estimate of 80,000 taels of silver for this "Yulin Bell", which is a very pertinent price, because it is just an ordinary copybook, even if you add the name of the Liu family, it is almost this price, after all, it is not the magic weapon or cultivation method of the Hongchen Word Saint.
The rumored statement that you can realize the Tao from the text is just a rumor after all, and even if there is, who can guarantee that you will be able to realize it?
After all, cultivation depends on chance and talent.
So 80,000 taels of silver is already very pertinent.
100,000 taels is a bit high, Yuan Mei feels that the rhythm on the field is once again beyond his control, in his career as a seller, this situation is already rare, and it is worth it if it appears twice?
He decided that he couldn't let this stain happen again, and he decided to kill the source.
So he looked at the chrysanthemum.
He hoped that his young master could feel the expectation in his gaze, and then bid to end everything.
However, when another private room on the second floor joined the battle with a shout from the crowd, the hope in Yuan Mei's heart turned into a bubble and dispersed with the wind of the Qinhuai River.
He found himself underestimating some people's attachment to the Yoo family.
"Why is this woman bidding so hard?"
Yuan Youtao exclaimed in the private room.
Because it involved the Liu family, Lan Qingqing was particularly concerned, staring intently at the situation on the field, and when she heard about the 120,000 taels of silver, Rao was also taken aback as the eldest lady of the Lan Mansion.
"Who is she?"
Lin Zhi frowned.
"Mrs. L.A. Red Snow Week. ”
Yuan Youtao's face was bitter like a bitter gourd.
"This week's Madame's name of the red pile of snow is the most famous Fengyue place in the Divine Dynasty, but also with the name of dance music to move the world, often as the Divine Dynasty to visit other countries accompanying the dance troupe, even Your Majesty is appreciative, I heard that this Zhou Lady is very fond of the Liu family, so I sent an invitation, I didn't expect it...... So loved. ”
"Didn't you go to Los Angeles to do business, how do you know so much about this red pile of snow?" Lin Zhi wondered.
"It's not ..... Doing business...... Always find a clean place to discuss the market or something...... The red snow environment is very elegant....... Well...... That's it. ”
"Hey, anyway, you promised us Qingqing, it doesn't matter what Mrs. Zhou or Mrs. Li she is, a man can't talk and doesn't count. ”
"I'm only sixteen ......"
Yuan Youtao wanted to argue something, but instead attracted a roll of Lin Zhi's eyes.
"One hundred and fifty thousand. ”
The housekeeper of the Yuan Mansion shouted a new round of offers.
A graceful woman in the bamboo hut raised an eyebrow.
The prince of the Wang family in Mei Shezhong's face sank and said, "How can he still have money?"
Then he sneered again: "Let him spend, the appetizer will eat so much, and the main dish will come later to see what he will do, I really don't know what kind of stupid person the person in the chrysanthemum house is." ”
Yuan Mei was ecstatic in his heart, thinking that young master, you can count it, so he confirmed the offer of 150,000 yuan with a little joy in his tone.
Just as he was about to drop the hammer.
"One hundred and fifty-five thousand. ”
Five thousand taels of silver were added to the bamboo house.
Yuan Youtao heard that there was no confidence in that voice as before, and he was planning to fight to the death.
So he did not hesitate to shout out an offer of 160,000.
Mrs. Zhou sighed in the bamboo house, waved her hand, and signaled that her subordinates didn't need to continue shouting.
So this pair of Liu everyone's autographed "Yulin Bell" was bought back by Yuan Youtao at a price of 160,000 yuan.
195,000 taels of silver.
The people in the chrysanthemum house had spent nearly 200,000 taels of silver on only two items, which was already half of the property of a wealthy merchant in Jinling City, and it was only used to buy an ordinary sword and a pair of calligraphy that doubled the expected price.
Everyone began to speculate about the identity of the rich man in the chrysanthemum house.
......
......
The Quzhou calligrapher Jung bought his favorite "Tide Viewing Pavilion Preface" for 9,500 taels of silver, and never sold it again.
The reason is ...... He really ran out of money.
I saw the Shuzhou painter next to him approaching and whispered: "Do you know what kind of character is in this chrysanthemum house upstairs?"
Jung was thinking about the book stickers that would arrive after the auction, and at the same time thinking about how to explain to his family the reason why he had spent such a large sum of money, and after hearing Youwei's words, he said hatefully: "Not to mention Liu's calligraphy, just looking at his bid for an ordinary sword, I concluded that the person in Juzishe is the kind of young master who takes the family's money and does not learn and does not know how to do it!"
"No, in case the family is rich, anyway, the identities of those people on the second floor are there. The painter said uncertainly.
"Even if he is the richest man in the Divine Dynasty, even if he has a wealth hidden in his mansion, spending more than 30,000 taels of silver to buy an ordinary broken sword, his brain is purely sick. ”
Jung patted the arm of his chair and said angrily.
Yuan Youtao, who was called the young master in the chrysanthemum house, put his feet up and down on the table, discussing some cultivation matters with Ning Shu, and chatting with Lin Zhi and Lan Qingqing about some interesting things about Los Angeles, like a young master, as if he didn't care about the 200,000 taels of silver he spent before.
If you let him know that the Quzhou calligrapher Jung made two extreme evaluations of him in less than a day, he would be young and promising, and he would definitely give him a good reward according to Young Master Yuan's temperament.
In fact, both of them make sense, say that he is young and promising, this has Taoju and the auction are all run by him, and the business mind is also the only one in the God Dynasty, say that he is a gentleman, a few years ago when he was in Jinling City, he often went in and out of those buildings, and when he was in a good mood, he still had a lot of silver, even if he went to Los Angeles, it was only a little more restrained.
He didn't have any calculations about the matter of giving Ning Shu the sword, and he didn't even ask about Ning Shu's origin, inheritance, or even cultivation. Because he understands that cultivators have their own secrets, and the most taboo is to be seen by others, and Ning Shu will never take the initiative to ask.
He could see that Ning Shu was a person worth befriending.
If you make friends sincerely, you must first give your sincerity.
......
......
"Now let's enter the last part of this auction, which is also the most special part - the gift of heaven and earth. Yuan Mei on the stage smiled.
After two thrills on the edge of the cliff, near the end, his whole person was extremely excited, and his state was extremely good.
It's like a student who is waiting for the teacher to say a word from the teacher.
