Four hundred and thirty-eighth
"Wait." I couldn't help but ask, "What is the other box on the table?"
"Well, this is an accessory of the Great Killing Mirror." said the auctioneer.
"That means, if you take a picture of the big killing mirror, the things in the box will be given for free?" I asked again.
"It's a pity, not." The auctioneer shook his head, "The price of the accessories starts at 95,000 taels, and the total of the two is 100,000 taels. The auction catalog is clearly written..."
"I didn't write it clearly at all, right?" I could only smile bitterly, "And why are the accessories more expensive than the body?"
"Oh, this is just that the person who writes the catalog is old and has a weak color, has deteriorated memory, and has made the price of both wrong." The auctioneer said, "However, the total auction price of 100,000 taels is not wrong. Please feel free to buy it."
"Then what is the function of this accessory? You should say it in advance, right?" I said.
"Okay." The auctioneer turned the hammer handle and picked up the lid of another box.
There was a black stone in the box.
"It's just such a broken thing, you can buy 95,000 taels?" someone couldn't help but question.
"This broken thing has a magical effect," said the auctioneer.
"What's the effect?" the man asked.
"As long as there is sunshine on it, it will light up." As he spoke, the auctioneer pushed the box into the sun.
The black stones really began to shine, like burning red coals.
"Is it possible that without the sunlight shining on it, it will light up?" the man asked again.
"Good question!" The auctioneer raised the big killing mirror, "As long as you use the big killing mirror to refract the sunlight and shine it on it, it will light up - now, that's it."
...
"When did I change to an auctioneer?" I did not say this to the outside world, but was unable to fall back on the chair.
"A large auction like this lasts at least one hour, and it is normal to change a few auctioneers in the middle." Wanliang Tong said.
The auction of the Big Killing Mirror ended soon, with five hundred taels jumping, and was finally caught by Wan Wusheng with seven thousand taels.
No matter how powerful the auctioneer is, this is always a useless thing, and spending these few thousand taels is not cheap.
Next item.
The mysterious glowing black stone, starting from 95,000 taels, jumping from 95,000 taels.
"Nine thousand five hundred taels!" I was the first to shout.
"100,045,000 taels." A price tag lit up in a private room opposite.
"110,04,000 taels." I followed the price.
"Twelve three thousand five hundred taels." He raised another card in the opposite box.
"133,000 taels." I did not relax and immediately followed up.
"142,500 taels." The opposite box pressed step by step.
"Frequently two thousand taels." I shouted and fell down on the chair: "Oh my mother, this price is too tiring, right? How good is it to make an integer? I have to take a calculation in my hand to avoid miscalculation..."
"Hey, brother, this is not the case for auctions." Wanliang Tong said, "You have to learn to hold up signs at the limit, be at ease, and try not to turn auctions into fighting spirit."
"I don't know who is bidding on the other side." Wan Wusheng said curiously, "What's the point of fighting for such a black stone?"
"This thing is useless to fall into other people's hands." I told the truth, "It is only valuable if I make up a set in my hands."
"Oh? There is a whole set?" said Wanliang Tong, "Then are you going to live together now?"
"It's not all." I said half-truely, "This set of gems has a total of seven, and I only have one on hand."
"Only one," Wan Wusheng said.
"Then maybe, the people in the box have more hands." Wan Liang Tong said, "If this is the case, then it's not easy for you to get all this set of treasures."
"There are more people in the box..." I pondered, "If this is the case, it would be a great thing."
There are now five of the seven scabbard gems that are missing. If they happen to be in the other party's hands, wouldn't it save me endless effort?
"It seems that you are determined to win this gem." said Wanliang Tong. "But no matter how valuable a treasure is, there will always be a price - even if it is a price, then this city is the price - for you, how much can this gem cost at most?"
"I don't know either." I smiled bitterly, "Even if this gem is important to me, it's impossible to take it all out. After all, there are seven gems, and this is just one of them."
"Okay, then I'll set a price for you, 500,000 taels, how about it?" Ten thousand taels of bronze waved.
"Okay." I nodded.
Although we keep talking, the auction competition continues, and the price has been called to 190,000 taels.
It is already a bit outrageous to raise the price of a mere piece of unknown black stone to this level.
Because Wan Yushen’s complete set of industrial contracts just now, he sold a sky-high price of hundreds of millions of taels { converted into copper coins, which is 100 billion}. Now, the number of more than 100,000 taels is in people’s ears, and they don’t feel much weight.
Let’s make a calculation for everyone: Nowadays, the common people in ordinary counties can earn about one tael of silver per month {1,000 copper coins}, which is twelve taels a year, and work for a hundred years in a lifetime, without eating, drinking or having fun, the money they can save is only 1,200 taels.
In other words, an ordinary citizen must be a slave for more than 120 lifetimes to earn 190,000 taels of silver!
Even the King of Hell frowned when he saw this kind of tragedy.
Of course, if we look at it from another perspective - if we change it to more than 120 ordinary people, we can earn this number in our lifetime, what if the number of people increases?
An ordinary county town has about 30,000 people.
An ordinary city with more than 100,000 people.
A super city like Yanzhou City has more than 500,000 people!
As the number of people continues to increase, the amount of wealth created is extremely amazing.
And we must remember that these are just the wealth created by ordinary people for themselves. In fact, the wealth they create for other people {jobs} is much more valuable than this.
Therefore, no matter how great a person's value is, he still seems so insignificant to be devoted to the torrent of social wealth.
"Three hundred thousand taels!" Just as I was thinking about it, a sudden shouting sounded from a box next door.
Another competitor?
Wait, this sound...
Generally speaking, the VIPs in the VIP private room either change their voices or are done by their followers, or even just hold up signs and do not really shout out.
But the owner of this voice obviously did not care about these unspoken rules.
Nothing to dream!
"Why did he get in with one leg?" Wan Wusheng also recognized Wan Wuhua's voice.
"Five hundred thousand!" Wanliang Tong frowned and raised his sign decisively.
When this situation occurs in the auction, the focus is on making a concerted effort to suppress the opponent's momentum.
But will Wan Wuhua be suppressed so easily?
"Hahaha." He let out a low laugh, "Do you still want to fight me...one million!"
