Chapter 5 Auction (2)
"Cough", an old man stood on the platform of the auction and coughed loudly. The people below immediately calmed down and looked at the old man on the platform. Today's protagonist appeared. What are you talking about? The main manager of the Beijing Auction House on the platform, who is fully responsible for the various affairs of the Beijing Auction House. You have to ask who the boss of this Beijing Auction House is? That is an amazing person - the current emperor.
"Everyone, our Beijing Auction House will soon start the most grand annual auction. Today, everyone will definitely be happier and excited than in previous years, because there are five mysterious treasures today, all worth more than 500,000 taels of silver. In addition, the emperor also gave special instructions today that three lucky guests will be selected from you. They will be able to choose any treasure with a starting price of less than 100,000 taels of silver. The original owner who was selected will receive 100,000 taels of silver, and can also receive a yellow jacket given by the emperor." The chief supervisor loudly told the participants below the present emperor's gift.
"Yellow jacket! When you wear yellow jackets, you don't have to worry about those officials. If this yellow jacket can be sold, I will buy it for 100,000 taels." A fat man who knew it was a nouveau riche said to his friend next to him.
"You only have 100,000 taels. I am willing to give up all my money for three years. I also want this yellow jacket. This is the matter of glorious ancestors!"
The chief manager also had a very nice smile on his face. He was also very surprised when he learned about the emperor’s decision just now. This yellow jacket is not something that money can buy!
I watched the people outside get excited by the current emperor's trick. I also began to think that the emperor is quite powerful. Giving a few yellow jackets has no effect on him at all, but this makes everyone grateful to him, and the auction house will become more famous in the future.
"Everyone, I'll announce the list of these three people." The chief manager said loudly, his voice echoed throughout the venue. It seemed that the chief manager was still a martial arts master!
After looking at the participants who had completely calmed down below, the chief executive continued: "These three are Li Tianxiang, the eldest son of the Li family who spent the most money to buy treasures at the auction house this year. They provided the Buddhist treasure - the great hero of Jade Guanyin, and the provider of today's venue, the richest man in the capital - Brother Wan San."
The group of people below were very angry. Isn’t this opportunity to add icing on the cake? Are they still lacking this treasure of 100,000 taels? But everyone also knows that it is understandable that the auction house chooses people. One is the one who spends the most money, the other is the one who provides Buddhist treasures, and the other who provides today’s venue. What’s the use of being angry?
"Okay, now the real theme today - the annual auction begins. Please invite Mr. Wang, a famous expert, to host today's conference!" The chief executive was full of confidence and his voice enveloped the entire venue. When everyone looked at the platform, an old man in a gorgeous costume was already standing on the venue.
"Hello everyone, I won't talk nonsense. Today's auction items are all high-quality products, all of which are more than 10,000 taels of silver. First, please give out the first auction item today - the work of Senior Ouyang, the greatest smelter in Qinglong Continent when he was young - Fish Killing Sword. Fish Killing Sword is short. Although it is not a top-level killing sword, he is definitely the best in the world in the kitchen, with a base price of 15,000 taels of silver. Now it starts to shoot!" Mr. Wang was really straightforward in doing things, and he started the auction as soon as he came on stage.
"I'll pay 20,000 taels." A thin guy was a little proud of him, and he added 5,000 taels at once. I guess no one will snatch it with him. I'll be sure of next year's cooking competition.
"I'll pay 21,000 taels." A guy standing not far from him immediately increased the price, looking at the thin man: Next year's cooking competition will still be my favorite.
Everyone looked at these two guys, everyone knew them. These two guys were the two most famous chefs. It seemed that this thing was in the hands of these two people.
"I'm 22,000 taels" "I'm 23,000 taels"
"I want this thing, and when I get home, my wife uses it to cook for me!" A middle-aged man walked to the platform.
"Oh, it turns out to be King Wang. Since Wang Daxia has chosen this kitchen treasure, we must give this "fish killing sword" to Wang Daxia. I am here to wish Wang Daxia and his wife a long life. It is really her blessing to have a good husband like Wang Daxia!" Mr. Wang was so straightforward at the beginning, but now he has said a lot of compliments, and he is really a real person who doesn't show his appearance!
The King of Wang smiled and seemed very satisfied. After taking the fish-killing sword, he said to the crowd below: "The fourth day of March next year will be the 20th anniversary of my marriage with my wife. At that time, I will hold a banquet in my hometown Yangzhou. I hope you will give Wang a face. It will definitely come. I will go down first and let the conference continue." The King of Wang walked down the platform with great grace. Everyone below was still praising Wang's character.
"Brother Wang, who is that hero Wang? He seems to be very proud!" I, a rookie who knows almost nothing about the outside world, asked Brother Wang, who is well-versed in ancient and modern times.
"That King King King is not an ordinary person. He is a perfect figure in Yangzhou. His family is extremely rich. This King King King is even a third-rank master, which is the master of the fusion period mentioned in the young master's secret book. He is both civil and military, and is extremely affectionate with his wife. He is a very generous person and often supports the down-and-out martial arts people, so he has a very good reputation." Brother Wang carefully explained the main situation of the King King King King King to me.
I nodded. Wang Shan seemed to be a pretty good person. I just didn't know what he was like inside. I turned my eyes to the auction items again.
"Dear seniors, I, Li Tianxiang, are here to thank the Beijing Auction House for the rewards. There is another thing I want to announce that I will enter the Guowu Academy this year. My Li family will donate two million taels of silver to the Guowu Academy. I will go down first and let Grandpa Wang host the auction." A little boy who is almost ten years old is very free and easy on the platform.
"Wow, it's not a pity that he is the leader of the four major families. He can take two million taels at one move. Look, the eldest son of the Li family is even more powerful than adults. No wonder the Li family has always been the most powerful family for hundreds of years!" An old man in a brocade costume said in a VIP room.
"Yes, I guess the Li family will be stronger in this kid's hands." The other old man sitting next to him also agreed.
I looked at the boy below, Li Tianxiang, the head of the next generation of Li family, and felt hostility in my heart for no reason.
"Okay, the ordinary items today have been auctioned off. Please invite the original owner of the items taken away by the three lucky guests to come to the stage. Please invite the chief supervisor to reward the yellow jacket in person." Our Mr. Wang finally spoke, who are the three lucky guys today?
"Ah! No, why are there only two except the chief executive?"
"Who else, don't even want this opportunity, so give it to me. I paid 100,000 taels of silver to buy this opportunity."
"Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm Li Tianchang from Taiyuan. Two of these three selected items are mine, hehe." The two guys on stage were taller, took a step forward and explained this issue to everyone.
"No, I'm so lucky, how lucky I've left? I also have two auction items today."
"Stop doing this, people are so angry that they are more awesome, alas!"
"Master General, can I sell one of the yellow jackets to someone else?" Li Tianchang asked the chief general quietly.
"You can sell it, but the yellow jacket you were sold: one is of no use, no one will admit it, and the other is to be careful that the emperor will punish you for deceiving the emperor." The chief executive was also angry and funny. He had never seen such a person before. He actually wanted to sell the things given by the emperor. He really wanted to pay money and live.
"Oh, thank you for the reminder of the chief executive, thank you for the chief executive!" Li Tianchang was so scared that he was sweating coldly. His whole face turned a little white, and he seemed to have his lips dry, and he tried his best to lick his lips with his tongue.
After I reached the Golden Elixir stage, my hearing and vision improved greatly. I knew this myself, but I didn’t expect that in addition to hearing Li Tianchang’s conversation, my hearing also heard the sound of him swallowing desperately. Seeing Li Tianchang’s ugly appearance, I even disappeared a lot of the bad emotions that I had just seen Li Tianxiang.
When we saw the yellow jacket, another guy was very happy, but Li Tianchang didn’t smile, which made the people below very depressed: this guy didn’t even smile at all when he got two yellow jackets. We couldn’t get them. People were so angry that they were so popular!
Li Tianchang looked at a yellow jacket on his body and a yellow jacket on his hand, but he was a little scared and worried that the chief executive would tell the emperor about the fact that he wanted to sell the yellow jacket today. When the emperor got angry, he thought about it and then sweated again.
Finally, he could step down. Li Tianchang asked the Grand Chief on the stage, and the Grand Chief guaranteed that he would never tell the emperor about this matter countless times before he was willing to step down.
