Chapter 667: The Annual Auction Begins

Hua Nuan, who was standing behind Ding Kui and Kong Ren, moved her lips, and her mouth seemed to say, "You treat me as a dead man." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Of course, the people around Ding Kui have seen mahjong, they are the first batch of people to learn to play mahjong, Jiang Li, Jiang Xi, and Long Tan are the second batch.

"Tinder Jade, it feels good, how do you play?" Kong Ren had seen a game with so many cards for the first time.

"Wait for the dragon to come and tell you, come, recognize these cards first. Ding Kui didn't care about eating, and taught Kong Ren to recognize the cards.

At this time, He Guangsheng took Long Shuang to the VIP room, and Ding Kui's friends came.

Long Shuang's interest in mahjong is not as great as Kong Ren's, and he only has cultivation in his world, but because of Ding Kui's face, he listened patiently and listened to Ding Kui's detailed explanation of mahjong gameplay.

"There are 136 cards in total, and it's hard to repeat the exact same hand, it's a lot more complicated than I thought. "Kong Ren prides himself on being knowledgeable and proficient in various chess and card games, and it is not easy to get started with mahjong for the first time.

"It's also a matter of luck, and I don't like things that I can't control. To put it bluntly, Long Shuang hates the feeling of losing.

"It's not good to get this thing out for entertainment, it's not good for a few friends to get together to sit and chat or go to the Fengyue place, people always have to have some color in life. Ding Kui began to perform the Dafa of flickering again.

"Live with color. Hua Nuan read softly, accidentally attracted by Ding Kui's fresh words.

There were few people in the room, so Ding Kui simply let all the guards and his entourage sit in, and according to him, the atmosphere was a little more lively.

Babbling, the door opened, and Yang Mian walked in with Fan Jun, Bao Lei, and Mu Ran.

"There are a lot of friends who came today, and Yang couldn't greet you in time, forgive your sins, forgive your sins. Yang Mian gestured as soon as he came in.

Ding Kui, Kong Ren, and Long Shuang stood up to greet the new four.

"Brother Yang's warm invitation is enough to see his heart, today is full of friends, don't bother for us, if it weren't for the fact that this place is too small, I should let it out to greet Brother Yang's friends. Ding Kui pulled Yang Mian to sit on the main seat.

"It's still a way for the master of the horse, it's extremely difficult to get a VIP room for the five-year small feedback of the Lu Chamber of Commerce, and my eyes are hot." But as you said, the room can't fit a few people, and it's not suitable for anyone less, and the hall has the benefits of a hall and is spacious enough. Yang Mian resolutely refused to sit on the main seat, but just sat down next to Ding Kui.

"Brother Yang treats everyone equally, and he will not treat his friends differently because of his status and status, and there is no second one in the capital that is so interesting. Fan Jun patted Yang Mian's ass slightly.

Fan Jun, Bao Lei and Mu Ran were at the same time as Ding Kui, and it was necessary for them to come up to greet Yang Mian, not to envy Ding Kui for having a VIP room.

There are a few more people who still focus on mahjong, such as Yang Mian is the most interested, and is worried that organizing activities is a bit monotonous, and one more entertainment can make the activities much richer.

There were three gongs downstairs.

Yang Mian got up and said, "Brother Ding, I will come to visit another day, the auction will start, I will go down first." ā€

Fan Jun, Bao Lei, and Mu Ran also followed Yang Mian back to the hall.

"Ding Kui, I don't care what you buy for the eldest princess, my sister-in-law can't do without. "Long Shuang is very protective of the family.

Hua Nuan, who ran to the window to watch again, pricked up her ears and listened attentively to what Ding Kui answered.

"Yes, yes, Lord Taiwei sent me five years of money in one go, these 500,000 gold coins are specially used to buy gifts for the eldest princess and Long Yan, okay?" At this time, Ding Kui didn't complain about anything, and generously auctioned out five gold coin cards of 100,000 yuan.

"My monthly routine is five gold coins, and I have to work for 100,000 months without eating or drinking to have so much money. Hua Nuan counted with his fingers.

He may have never done anything or earned money, and he didn't mention the income requirement when he applied for a job with Ding Kui, but now he realizes that the gap is a bit big compared to Ding Kui.

"Brother Hua, how can you use your monthly example to compare with the young master? Ordinary people only spend about five gold coins a year, and you have been a year for others. He Guangsheng said in Hua Nuan's ear.

"It's only five gold coins a year!" Hua Nuan couldn't believe it.

"No, the young master can make money, but there are also many places to spend money, there are four squadrons of guards like you in the old mansion, even if each person has five gold coins a month, that is two thousand gold coins, more than 20,000 a year, and there are also slaves and maids. He Guangsheng felt that he was more sensible than Hua Nuan.

"Two thousand a month for four squadrons, wow, how much does a division need!" Hua Nuan's fingers were not enough.

"Fifty thousand. He Guangsheng calculated it at once, "Who will have so many guards?"

"Well, I heard that the Emperor of the Northern Empire had a division of the Imperial Guards. Hua Nuan realized that she had said a little too much.

Knock knock, a dense drum beat, a middle-aged man with a short beard on his face walked onto the auction table.

"Distinguished guests and friends, Lu Bu would like to thank you all for coming. The middle-aged man's appearance is mighty, but his voice is very gentle.

Poof, a glass of wine just poured into his mouth was squirted out by Ding Kui, almost hitting Long Shuang next to him, and Long Shuang immediately dodged it with a backflip.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Long Shuang and Kong Ren together.

"Well, nothing. Ding Kui took the handkerchief handed over by Hua Nuan, wiped the wine stains from his mouth, and casually put the handkerchief into his pocket, "This person has the same name as Grandpa Qian, I suddenly feel a little funny." ā€

Hua Nuan glanced at Ding Kui's trouser pocket, and finally chose to keep her mouth shut.

"It's the first time you came to the auction so you don't know him, Lu Bu has been the chief auctioneer of the Lu Chamber of Commerce for more than ten years, and the regulars here are all familiar with him. Kong Ren didn't think it was funny, but out of habit, he still explained it to Ding Kui.

Lu Bu didn't know about this episode in the VIP room upstairs, and continued to stand on the auction table and said: "I believe everyone is familiar with the rules of the auction, but take care of the new friends, and I'll tell you about it later."

Every table in the hall and every room upstairs will have a bidder who will help you bid and guide you through the transaction when something is successfully auctioned.

Each lot will have a reserve price and a minimum markup, and you can bid before I ring the gong, and once the gong is sounded, the subsequent bids will be invalid. If you are excited, you must act in time, and don't wait for this broken gong to sound.

Before the auction starts, I will show and introduce the auction items, who thinks that my introduction is not detailed enough, you can ask questions immediately, after the bidding begins, you will not be questioned, once the transaction gong rings, our association will not return.

There is an hour-long break before the end of the auction, during which the delivery of all the lots will be completed, and in case a buyer carelessly does not bring enough money, his auction items will be recycled and put into the final cash auction.

The final cash auction is simple, everyone shouts and presents the corresponding cash and gold card or collateral approved by the chamber of commerce, and the highest bidder delivers the money in public, so it is best for you to check your money bag now. ā€

"Huh?" Ding Kui felt that there was a problem after listening, "What if someone makes a malicious bid and deliberately lets a certain auction item enter the cash auction, and the person who wants to buy it is unwilling to show up?"

At this time, Dong Song just walked into the room and replied, "VIPs can find the deacon of the Chamber of Commerce during their break and ask us to bid on their behalf, and other guests do not have this privilege." ā€

"Hehe, it's a bit interesting to be a VIP of the Lu Chamber of Commerce. Ding Kui was satisfied with Dong Song's answer.

I don't know how many times the annual auction of the Lu Chamber of Commerce has been held, and the number of times is too many to remember, and the auction process is basically free of loopholes.

"Okay, let's announce below, the auction has officially begun!" Lu Bu picked up a small mallet and sounded the transaction gong with a "bang".

"Today's No. 1 auction item comes from the 'Wind and Snow Forest' in the north of Lu Kingdom, and it is the core of a thousand-year-old wind cedar. ā€

Lu Bu motioned for the two beautiful assistants to open a rectangular jade box and take out a reddish-brown round wooden stick.

"Wind cedar is a special product of the wind and snow forest, after thousands of years of felling, the tree is more than 1,000 years old wind cedar is very rare, its role does not need to be said by me, anyone who buys it back can be regarded as a treasure of the town. ā€

A beautiful woman held a wooden stick to her chest and stood beside Lu Bu.

"The reserve price of the No. 1 auction item is one million gold coins, and each increase in price shall not be less than fifty thousand, who still has any doubts?"

Lu Bu gave time for the buyer to come forward and look at the auction item up close to identify the authenticity of the auction item.

"Okay, no problem then shouting to start!"

"A million!" shouted the guy at one of the tables closest to Lu Bu.

"Start pulling, start pulling. ā€

Tangtai Xiu, Tangtai Jin, Nangong Ping and Linghu Yu gathered in the No. 2 VIP room, which was set in the name of Princess Tangtai and was more than twice as large as Ding Kui's No. 11 room. If it weren't for the eldest princess's mother, they might not have been able to enter the No. 2 VIP room in their lives.

Ling Hu Yu looked at the No. 1 auction item below with great interest.

"You don't have to look at it, the reserve price is only a million gold coins, and the rednecks can't afford it, and we don't have that much money combined. "Tan Tai Jin is lazy, but he can't be interested in facing such a large auction.

Taixiu and Nangong Ping were deeply impressed by her words.

Ding Kui from Room 11 asked Dong Song: "The people in the hall can get close to see the auction items, but the VIP room is a little far away, isn't it a loss?"

"Hehe, my lord, if you want to see it, you can order someone to pick it up, and the same goes for other VIPs. If more than one VIP is favored at the same time, then the order of inspection will be in the order of room number, and your eleventh room is the eleventh serial number. "Dong Song will be squatting in room 11 today.

"Although the core of the millennium wind cedar tree is good, it is mostly used on the elderly, and it is harmful to the young people whose bones and meridians are not shaped. Master, no matter how carefully you look, it's useless. "Hua Nuan is afraid that his master will not understand.

Kong Ren glanced at Hua Nuan in surprise, strange that this guard with ordinary appearance and strength actually understood such a valuable object.

"Oh, his parents used to run businesses overseas and knew more about valuables than I did. Ding Kui saw the question in Kong Ren's heart and explained it for Hua Nuan.
