Reckless Through The New World
Chapter 339: a thousand bucks
The big auction is organized by various merchants on the "Golden Avenue" in turn, and the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce is in charge of hosting it this month. This chamber of commerce has a close relationship with the Republic of West Brunei, and more than one of the top executives of the chamber is from West Brunei. Relying on the navigation technology of the land of tigers and whales, their shipwreck rate is far lower than that of other chambers of commerce, so they have a huge advantage in shipping. Specifically, their greatest advantage lies in passenger transportation. Almost all medium and high-grade cargo ships in the Port of Molai are under their control.
In addition, there is another saying that when the pirate king Barbarossa was young, he used to avoid misfortune and learn art in Laika, West Brunei. At that time, the seniors of the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce took good care of him, so after he became famous, he rarely paid attention to him. This chamber of commerce started, so this chamber of commerce has an advantage in shipping.
Of course, such anecdotal things are not enough to prove, and pandas are not interested.
What interests him is what will be auctioned tonight?
With a curious and excited Jack on their faces, they got off the carriage at the entrance of the Golden Avenue. During the period before and after the auction, commercial carriages can only be sent here. If you want to enter, you must have a shop in the Golden Avenue. Row.
This is also a way to distinguish identities. Those who can arrive by horse carriage are naturally rich and powerful bosses who can get VIP treatment - of course, the bosses may not all have shops on the Golden Avenue, but there will definitely be special ones. The carriage greeted them.
As for those who came on foot, they were just supporting roles and were insignificant.
Panda didn't care about supporting roles or not. He walked with Jack on the street that could accommodate four carriages in parallel, watching the merchants hurrying by on both sides, and the carriages galloping from the middle of the road from time to time. , find it quite interesting.
The gap between people is fully manifested at this moment.
Jack looked at the carriages enviously. After a while, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Pan, why don't you reserve a carriage? With your wealth and ability, you can definitely book one."
The big auction will provide a "special car" appointment, as long as there is no criminal record and a deposit of more than 50,000 gold coins. This Mr. Bell Pan can say things like "fund a boat" without hesitation, and he can definitely get a deposit.
"No need." Panda said nonchalantly, "I am interested in the auction goods, not the carriage."
Jack nodded thoughtfully, feeling that he had learned a little more.
When they came to the door of the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce, the guards at the door didn't stop anyone, but the waiter asked them if they had an invitation letter.
"Can't I participate in the auction without it?" Panda asked.
"Of course you can participate, we are businessmen, and businessmen will never turn customers away." The young but calm waiter said with a smile, "However, if you are a customer without an invitation, you can only go in the lobby on the ground floor. Participate in the auction. Because the seats on the second floor and the boxes on the third floor have been reserved in advance, there is no extra for one seat and one person."
Panda nodded, showing understanding, and then asked, "Do you have a list of items you plan to auction tonight?"
"This... list is placed in the box, I can't touch it at all..." The waiter said embarrassedly.
Panda smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "The young man is very promising, keep working hard."
Having said that, he and Jack walked in along the flow of people and came to the hall on the ground floor.
The hall is a fan-shaped structure, and the position of the "fan handle" is the auction table. There is a magic circle for display on the auction table, which can project the items to be auctioned in the air so that everyone can see it clearly. The seats for the customers were one next to the other, and the first few rows were already full, and Panda and Jack could only sit in the back seats.
But this doesn't matter, because each row of chairs is higher than the previous row, just like a stepped venue on the earth, unless you are unlucky and there is a big guy like Yunero sitting in front of you, you don't have to worry about being blocked. sight.
Panda and Jack were lucky, the people sitting in the rows in front of them were not tall enough to affect their sight at all.
After a while, when the big clock in the port struck eight o'clock in the evening, the auction officially started.
The auctioneer was a tall, thin, middle-aged man who was not at all "Mo Lai Hong". Moreover, the panda can clearly feel a murderous aura from his body, and there must be a lot of lives under this person's hands. I don't understand what the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce thought, to find such a person to be in charge of the auction.
The auctioneer did not intend to introduce himself, but started to introduce the first item directly.
"A set of pearl necklaces, the auxiliary pearls are all first-class archipelago pearls, and the main pearl is the tears of a mermaid." Following his introduction, the appearance of the necklace was projected in the air. The round pearls were white and flawless. Obviously they are all high-quality goods, and the blue teardrop-shaped gemstone in the center of the necklace constantly reflects beautiful brilliance, attracting everyone's attention.
The auctioneer did not explain the purpose of this necklace in detail, but Jack had some insight and whispered to the panda: "The Tear of Mermaid is a special gem of the Mermaid tribe. Wearing it on the body can avoid drowning. This necklace is estimated to cost at least Thousands of gold coins."
"The base price is 2,000 gold coins, and each increase is not less than 100 gold coins."
Jack touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.
"You're right. In terms of the value of a magic item, it's actually more than a thousand gold coins." An old man next to him said with a smile, "It's just that you ignored the value of its 'jewelry'."
Of course the panda was not interested in this necklace and sat still. The old man called the price once when it was 2,400 gold coins, and didn't call again after it was exceeded. In the end, the necklace was sold for 2,600 gold coins, and it was sold by a fat businessman - the merchants in Mo Laigang seemed to be fat, at most "slightly fat" like the old man next to them, or like buying It's just the difference between being "fat" like the businessman under the necklace.
Looking at the full house of fat people, Panda couldn't help but think of a joke:
Zhang San went to Chongqing to travel and eat food stalls in the evening. He emphasized that "I don't eat spicy food", and then the owner and chef replied: "We only cook heavily spicy and mildly spicy, and there is no 'not spicy'."
Of course, this is just a joke. There are also Chongqing dishes that are not spicy at all, just like the businessmen in Molai Hong Kong are actually very thin.
For example, the old man who bought the next auction item, a bottle of "Mighty Potion".
The old man was almost shriveled, but when he made the bid, his voice was louder and more aggressive than anyone else. Especially when he was bidding with a big fat man in the first row, he was almost roaring, his eyes were about to pop out.
Panda felt that the reason why the big fat man flinched in the end was not necessarily because he didn't want that bottle of magic potion that could make men "prestigious" for about half a month, but because he was afraid that the old man would jump up and strangle himself...
The final transaction price of "Potion of Prestige" was 1,800 gold coins, and the prices of the next few auction items were mostly above 1,000 and below 3,000.
This price is probably a little expensive for this kind of magic item or strange medicine potion, but it is not exaggerated.
It's just... Seeing their auctions one by one, each mouth is worth a thousand or even a few thousand gold coins, Panda couldn't help but think of an idiom.
Big bucks.
Each of their businesses is a real "daughter of gold"!
