In the private room, more than a dozen sons could barely sit down, but no one was dissatisfied.
One is that they are very familiar with each other and don't care about these details.
The other is that the person who asked them to come was Cheng Chumo.
Although Cheng Chumo is a playboy like them, at least he has a father who is a prince.
"Brother Cheng, stop talking nonsense, where are the goods?"
A boy is a little impatient.
"That's right, after talking about it for a long time, it can't be that there is no one?"
"Take it out, Brother Cheng!"
When it comes to this, everyone else is very interested.
"Have you brought enough money? This thing of mine is very precious, and the one with the highest price will get it." Cheng Chumo said shrewdly.
"Don't worry, money is definitely enough!"
Those sons and brothers looked at each other, and Qi Qi showed a strange smile.
In fact, they had already discussed it before they came, and one person would buy it at a low price, and then they would divide it among themselves.
Hearing this, Cheng Chumo carefully took out something from his arms.
It was the red sandalwood that Li Xiao gave him earlier.
only……
The red sandalwood that was originally the size of a palm is now less than one-third the size.
Even so, the appearance of this piece of rosewood instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
"My God! What a fine rosewood!"
"There's nothing wrong with this smell. It's definitely rosewood that has survived for hundreds of years."
"Looking at the texture, it seems to be small-leaf rosewood, hiss!"
"Small-leaf red sandalwood that is hundreds of years old is rare in the world!"
Some people started to exclaim.
At this time, Chang Sun Chong, who had just arrived on the second floor, was also shocked.
"Hundreds of years of small-leaf rosewood?"
"My lord, it seems to be Cheng Chumo and the others." The servant whispered beside him.
Hearing this, Changsun Chong rolled his eyes and realized suddenly.
It turned out to be the case.
It's he who thinks too much.
Li Xiao didn't come here to buy food from major commercial firms.
Think about it too, how could there be money to buy such a huge amount?
That is to say, the purpose of Li Xiao's coming here is for this piece of red sandalwood.
"No, I must take this thing!"
Changsun Chong secretly made up his mind.
He knew very well that His Majesty might not be very interested in this red sandalwood, but there are many people in the harem who like it.
The next moment, Chang Sun Chong directly pushed open the small door of the private room.
There are more than a dozen people in front of him, but Li Xiao is the only one missing.
Chang Sun Chong frowned slightly.
As Chang Sun Chong stepped in, more than a dozen young masters immediately looked at Chang Sun Chong in unison, with deep surprise on their faces.
"Eldest grandson?"
"Master grandson, why are you here?"
"Chongsun Chong!"
The last sentence was Cheng Chumo's voice.
He frowned slightly and looked at Chang Sun Chong with an uneasy expression on his face.
"Brother Cheng!"
Chang Sun Chong ignored the others, but said to Cheng Chumo with a smile on his face: "Just now I heard that there was a red sandalwood tree here by chance, and I was so excited, I couldn't hold back and pushed the door open. I hope you forgive me for bothering you." .”
The next moment, Chang Sun Chong's gaze was attracted by the rosewood in Cheng Chumo's hand.
"It's such a pity that Brother Cheng wants to sell such a treasure."
The eldest Sun Chong looked heartbroken and continued: "If Brother Cheng is in a hurry to use the money, why don't you ask Brother Wei to borrow it? With the relationship between you and me, how can I be stingy?"
After a few words, everyone thought that the two were brothers who had a very close relationship.
This also happened to be the result Chang Sun Chong wanted.
He didn't need to guess, since the red sandalwood was still there, then Li Xiao must not have gone far.
He just made it for Li Xiao to see.
The implication is that Cheng Chumo is my good brother, so don't even think about this piece of rosewood.
"you sure?"
The corner of Cheng Chumo's mouth twitched playfully.
"Since you are so kind, you can just lend me tens of thousands of taels of silver, and I won't have to sell my red sandalwood."
Chapter 98: Clever but Misunderstood by Clever
Chang Sun Chong was embarrassed on the spot.
He just said it casually, but he didn't expect Cheng Chumo to be serious this time, it's really shameless!
He didn't want to be with these idle dudes.
But in order to grab this piece of rosewood from Li Xiao, he had no choice but to greet him with a smile.
"Brother Cheng, let's stop gossip. How are you going to sell this red sandalwood? Make an offer, and I'll take it." Chang Sun Chong said immediately without doubt.
Hearing this, the others didn't have the slightest intention to fight for it.
Compared to Changsun Chong, they are nothing, just look at them.
Obviously, Cheng Chumo also saw that other people were a little afraid of Chang Sun Chong, and he felt even more resentful towards Chang Sun Chong in his heart.
After thinking about it, Cheng Chumo said: "This kind of treasure is naturally for the one with the highest price."
"That's naturally good."
Chang Sun Chong was even happier when he heard this.
Whoever pays the most?
Who else can compete with him here?
Who dares to compete with him?
I'm afraid it's only Li Xiao.
This is a bit troublesome.
But he changed his mind, if he could beat Li Xiao with money and embarrass Li Xiao, it would be good.
Just as Chang Sun Chong was waiting to bid.
Cheng Chumo suddenly said: "There is another rule. During the price bidding process, no irrelevant sounds are allowed, no gestures and other behaviors are allowed to communicate, no..."
"and many more!"
Chang Sun Chong interrupted Cheng Chumo with a frown, and said impatiently, "Then how do you bid?"
"Little Second!"
Cheng Chu let out a silent cry.
"Guest officer, what are your orders?" Xiao Er came up and asked respectfully.
"Bring paper and pen, take as much as you have!"
"Dele!"
Soon, paper and pen arrived.
Cheng Chumo distributed them one by one, and said at the same time: "Write your quotations on paper, and only show it to me. Whoever has the highest price will take this piece of rosewood!"
Hearing this, Changsun Chong frowned and stared at Cheng Chumo closely, with an unhappy expression on his face.
He never expected that Cheng Chumo would be so cunning.
In this case, no one knows the price written by others, and the bid amount is completely estimated by oneself.
If you really want this red sandalwood, the bid will inevitably overflow.
Cheng Chumo, who is the owner of the rosewood, will earn even more.
When did this fat man become so smart!
Chang Sun Chong scratched Cheng Chumo with his eyes, thought for a while and asked: "Brother Cheng, this method is excellent, I agree very much."
After finishing speaking, Changsun Chong turned his head and winked at his subordinates, and said, "Have you brought any silver? I only have 1000 taels here."
The subordinate immediately understood and shook his head immediately.
Only then did Chang Sun Chong nodded in satisfaction, looked around, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Cheng Chumo's face darkened.
What Chang Sun Chong said was not to tell others clearly that he only has so much money, and whoever bids more than 1000 taels will settle the score after the fall!
"Brother Cheng, you can start now."
Seeing the expressions of other people, Chang Sun Chong was quite satisfied, and urged them impatiently.
"and many more!"
Cheng Chumo suddenly said: "I also have an appointment with a distinguished guest who is next door and he wants to bid."
As he said that, Cheng Chumo asked Xiaoer to also bring paper and pen to Li Xiao.
When Li Xiao heard it, he instantly understood what Cheng Chumo meant.
He couldn't help but smirk.
This fat man!
Well done!
And Chang Sun Chong also immediately understood that the distinguished guest Cheng Chumo was talking about was probably Li Xiao.
"Alright, let's start bidding!"
After doing all this, Cheng Chumo announced the start of the bidding.
All quietly write their prices on paper.
However, these rich children knew very well that with the eldest grandson Chong here, there was nothing wrong with them.
So I just went through the motions and wrote a very low price casually.
Chang Sun Chong thought about it first, and then wrote down 200 taels on the paper.
Li Xiao must have heard his words before.
He guessed that Li Xiao would bid over 1000 taels.
One thousand two hundred taels, just to take down the rosewood.
After everyone finished writing, they handed the note to Cheng Chumo.
next door.
