Chapter 266: Exchange of needs for needs
Although the masked woman did not speak fluent Chinese, she still understood her words. She suppressed the anger in her heart and asked in a deep voice, "How to bully?"
"Money, I want her a lot of money." The masked woman looked nervously outside the room as she spoke.
I don’t know why this masked woman is so afraid of others seeing her talking to her. Judging from her appearance, she should be an unmarried woman waiting to be married. It must not be that her husband is strict, but it is a special custom of foreigners and is not allowed.
Woman talking to strange man.
Knowing that time is tight, he keeps his words concise and concise, focusing on the key points, "Who bullied her?"
"Maka, the people from Maka Mountain are bad people." The masked woman answered eagerly.
"Maka Mountain?" Repeated confirmation.
"Maka Mountain." The masked woman nodded.
At this time, Aguduo outside the house had already introduced the sweat-blooded horse to everyone, and the group began to turn around and enter the house. The house where the two of them were located had six connected rooms. There was a wooden platform to the west and a large number of rooms to the east.
Seats, no doubt the auction takes place here.
Seeing everyone entering the house, the masked woman hurriedly turned around and left, but stayed where she was, picking up a bunch of grapes and putting one in her mouth.
The people participating in the auction this time all had number plates. Li Dexin knew that it was the 28th, so he diligently guided him to the corresponding seat.
After sitting down, he asked Li Dexin in a low voice, "Where is the masked woman in front of me from?"
"Back to the general, this person must be from Khotan." Li Dexin said in a low voice.
"Where is Khotan located in Tingzhou? How long is the distance?" asked.
"Due to the west, it is more than a thousand miles away from Tingzhou, but these more than a thousand miles are all desolate desert." Li Dexin replied.
While the two were talking, the black stallion had been led into the house and stood on the wooden platform on the west side. Aguduo personally presided over the auction. There were five old men sitting on the north side of the wooden platform, including a barbarian.
There are also Han people. According to Aguduo, these five people are all well-informed shopkeepers and ministers from different regions and can value the valuables brought by people participating in the auction.
The auction was hosted by Agudo himself, and there was an assistant on the stage, holding a gong in his hand. Agudo sounded the gong, and the bidding began.
There are three bloody BMWs participating in the auction this time, one is the golden-furred stallion, and the other is the pregnant mare. Compared with these two horses, the price of this black stallion is undoubtedly higher.
Go lower.
> The starting price is one hundred thousand taels, and each bid can only be a multiple of ten thousand taels. As the gong rang, someone in the audience immediately bid one hundred thousand taels. Others did not hesitate to wait and see, and raised their hands to increase their bids. Everyone was already
Knowing that he had inherited all the properties of the Ni family in China and was extremely wealthy, and that he had committed a killing spree before the auction, everyone became more and more wary of him. They did not dare to get their hands on the golden-haired stallion and the pregnant mare, so they could only
He placed his hopes on this relatively common stallion, and after a while, the bidding rose to 200,000 taels.
After reaching 200,000 taels, the price increase began to slow down. I had not participated before, but now I finally took action and directly bid 500,000 taels.
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes were focused on . Everyone's eyes were different. Some were shocked at his wealth, and some were puzzled by his direct offer of an astonishingly high price. But most of them were still
Disappointed, this black stallion is the most common among the three horses. He directly offered a high price, showed his attitude, and showed his determination. He undoubtedly wanted to catch all three bloody horses.
After bidding 500,000 taels, no one bid again, because 500,000 taels of silver is equivalent to 50,000 taels of gold, which is already an extremely shocking number.
Aguduo was extremely satisfied with the bid that was five times the starting price. He counted down quickly to ten beeps. After ten beeps, the final decision was made and he successfully won the black stallion.
Five hundred thousand taels was a large amount, and Aguduo was worried that he wouldn't be able to get it, so he politely asked for capital verification.
"Without capital verification, Tingzhou's Taiping Trading Company is worth five hundred thousand taels." He said casually.
Aguduo is also a businessman himself, so he naturally knows how much the Taiping Trading Company in Tingzhou is worth. Five hundred thousand taels is just a conservative estimate, but in fact it is far more than five hundred thousand taels.
When doing business, it is important to put the villain first before the gentleman, and the contract that should be performed must be strictly performed. A transfer document was written on the spot, stamped with the gold seal previously donated by the Ni family, and witnessed by Li Dexin, the governor of Tingzhou. Both parties signed and pledged, and the transaction was completed.
Everyone who participated in the auction was not jealous because they got the bloody BMW, because in their opinion, the price paid was a bit high, and the most unfair thing was that he was directly increased from 200,000 to 500,000. He was completely
You can slowly increase it and get this bloody horse at a smaller cost.
He could guess what everyone was thinking, but he didn't regret that he directly offered the sky-high price of 500,000 taels. There is a common problem in the world, that is, they all hope to get the maximum return with the minimum effort. This is actually not shrewdness, but
Stupid, there are so many advantages to take advantage of in the world. At least nine out of ten people who suffer losses and are deceived want to take advantage. People who want to pay less and get more will only end up with two ends. One is to be annoying and be rejected by others.
The second is to be taken advantage of by bad people and suffer losses.
In addition, different people have different opinions on the value of something. As long as you think it is worth it, don't worry about how much it is worth in the eyes of others.
Then came the second mare, a pregnant mare with a starting price of 150,000 taels.
When others were bidding, he took out the baggage that Song Cai had prepared for him and handed it over to the people responsible for estimating the value.
After opening the baggage, the five people were all dumbfounded. The two scrolls had not yet been unfolded. What shocked them was undoubtedly the Blood Spirit Pearl and the Luminous Pearl.
He originally thought that the value of the Blood Spirit Pearl and the Luminous Pearl would be higher than the calligraphy and painting, but the valuations of the five people were contrary to his guess.
One hundred and eight Blood Spirit Beads polished from Water Rhinoceros horns are valued at 800,000 taels. The reason why they are so valuable is because these 108 fingernail-sized Blood Spirit Pearls are all made from the bloody horns inside of Water Rhinoceros horns.
It is polished from the heart. The blood of a slaughtered rhinoceros has spread out. There is no blood in the horn, and the character is gray. Only the blood of a rhinoceros that has died will be restrained in the heart of the horn, and the color is red. A rhino horn of this quality can only be used for beads at most.
Polished three, in other words, this string of blood spirit beads was taken from at least thirty-six water rhinoceros who died of their old age. The ancients said that the body of the cloud has no colorful phoenix and double flying wings, and the heart has a clear connection. This object is the most psychic and is one of the eight treasures of Taoism. It is worn everywhere.
Not only can it enhance spirituality and speed up cultivation, it can also see ghosts and ghosts, avoid poisons and exorcise evil spirits.
The Dragon Night Pearl is also valued at 800,000 taels. The magic of this object is not just that it emits light in the dark night, but that it can be carried by living people to keep their appearance from aging, and it can be kept in the mouth of the deceased to protect the body from decay.
Wu Daozi's painting of Zhong Kui and Yan Zhenqing's hundred-character calligraphy are both valued at millions. The reason is that these two paintings and calligraphy are indeed authentic works by the two people. They are truly divine works of writing and ink and national treasures.
It is difficult to understand why calligraphy and painting have such high value. In his opinion, no matter how good the painting or writing is, it is just a calligraphy and painting.
As soon as the estimates came out, all the people participating in the auction were stunned. What shocked everyone was not the high value of these four treasures, but their
They couldn't believe that these treasures would be exchanged for the Bloody BMW, because in their opinion, the value of these four treasures has far exceeded the Bloody BMW.
In a hurry before leaving, Song Cai did not explain in detail the magical features of the Blood Spirit Pearl and the Luminous Pearl. After hearing the comments from the appraisers, he was reluctant to exchange the Blood Spirit Pearl and the Luminous Pearl for one hundred.
Wanliang, used Wu Daozi’s paintings to photograph the pregnant mare.
Needless to say, the golden-haired stallion was also photographed by him using Yan Zhenqing's hundred-character essay.
Although the trip was in vain, the people who participated in the auction did not feel depressed or regretful, but only had endless regrets. The regret was not that they did not get the bloody BMW, but that a young and energetic fool actually exchanged a peerless authentic work and a national treasure passed down from generation to generation.
several horses.
But he didn’t know what everyone thought of him. He only knew that calligraphy and painting were of no use to him. He had to keep the Blood Spirit Pearl and Night Pearl. The Blood Spirit Pearl could be dismantled and given to Datou and others, and the Night Pearl could be given to Ni Chenyi, which originally belonged to the Ni family.
The things were left in a hurry that day and they didn't have time to take them away.
The bidding ended, and the three hard-earned horses returned home.
He did not take away these three bloody horses, but temporarily fostered them in Dayao Goods Yard. He then returned to Taiping Trading Company and ordered everyone to pack up and prepare. After he came back, he moved his family back to the Central Plains, away from this outside the Great Wall.
The cold wind and yellow sand.
Taiping Company has external business, and Shopkeeper Ma knows about Maka Mountain. Maka Mountain is the only way to travel from east to west. It is located at the end of the desert. There are thousands of horse bandits entrenched on the mountain. These horse bandits rob homes and do all kinds of evil. The merchants in the past have suffered a lot.
Its harm.
Shopkeeper Ma only knew this, but he didn't know who the leader of the horse bandits on Maka Mountain was or what his level of cultivation was.
After listening to what Shopkeeper Ma said, he knew better. The reason why he was in a hurry to end the bidding was because he was worried about the safety of everyone in the Ni family. As the saying goes, people are cheap when they leave their hometown. The Ni family left their hometown and brought a lot of gold and silver with them. Such a foreign country
A person is most vulnerable to being coveted by evil people, and he must rush over to help as soon as possible.
He didn't tell Shopkeeper Ma where he was going. After leaving Taiping Store, he bought dry food and water bags from the street, then got on his horse and galloped westward.
At sunset, one person and one horse entered the vast desert. Looking up, there was only endless yellow sand.
