Both Lu Li and Li Junxian looked at Li Xiao, wondering what price Li Xiao would offer.
However, Li Xiao didn't even take the pen, and asked Xiao Er to hand over the blank paper to Cheng Chumo.
Just when Li Junxian and Lu Li were puzzled, they only heard Cheng Chumo from the next door say: "Young Master Changsun, I'm sorry, but the distinguished guest next door offered a higher price."
"What?!" Chang Sun Chong frowned and said immediately, "I want to bid again!"
"This……"
Cheng Chumo looked embarrassed, and after thinking for a long time, he reluctantly said: "Okay, it's my fault that I didn't set the rules in advance, so let's do it, each person only has three chances to bid!"
Soon, Chang Sun Chong wrote down the price again.
This time, he wrote a full 5000 taels.
As for Li Xiao, someone sent him a blank piece of paper again.
Cheng Chumo looked at the quotations of the two, looked at Chang Sun Chong suspiciously, and asked, "Brother Chang Sun, don't you only have 1000 taels of silver?"
"I owe you first, tell me the result quickly!" Chang Sun Chong said impatiently.
"It's okay, but there must be an explanation!"
"What do you want?"
"How about nine in and thirteen out?"
"you!"
The eldest grandson glared at Cheng Chumo, very annoyed.
After being silent for a while, Chang Sun Chong said in a deep voice, "I will give you [-]% interest at most."
"Brother Changsun is refreshing enough, I'm fine now."
Cheng Chumo grinned and immediately agreed.
Nine in and thirteen out, it was just a bluff, and the [-]% interest was already beyond his expectation.
"Hurry up and announce the results!" Chang Sun Chong said impatiently.
Cheng Chumo nodded, looked at Li Xiao's blank paper, and showed an apologetic smile on his face: "Sorry, this time the bidding is still higher than that of the distinguished customer next door, do you want to revise it?"
"how is this possible?"
Chang Sun Chong expressed disbelief, and said, "How much is he bidding? Show me."
"You have to follow the rules in everything, isn't it good for Brother Changsun to do so?" Cheng Chumo frowned.
"Row!"
Chang Sun Chong looked gloomy, glanced in the direction of the next door, and then silently picked up the paper to prepare for the third bid.
At this time, Lu Li and Li Xiao who were next door were laughing, and Li Junxian couldn't help laughing.
Not long after, the last bidding ended.
Chang Sun Chong looked at the two pieces of paper in Cheng Chumo's hand, and his heart jumped to the side of his throat.
This time, he wrote down a full 1 taels.
The value of this rosewood is actually not very sure.
The real value is definitely not as much as 1 taels, and 1000 taels is as high as the sky.
The most precious is the rareness.
It is rare in the world, so the value of this rosewood is enough to double up.
Therefore, if 1 taels can be won, it is still within his acceptable range.
1 taels can be exchanged for His Majesty's appreciation, which is still worth it.
Cheng Chu silently looked at the two pieces of paper carefully, and then looked at Chang Sun Chong with an apologetic expression.
But this time, he didn't speak.
Seeing Cheng Chumo's expression, Chang Sun Chong's heart sank, and he couldn't help it anymore, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that his bid is higher than mine?"
"Now that the three times are over, I'm going to see what his price is!"
Cheng Chumo was a little disappointed to see this scene.
He also wanted to deceive Zhang Sun Chong, but he couldn't be fooled.
He had no choice but to say: "No, no, this time it's the elder brother's price that is high."
As he spoke, he held up Changsun Chong's bid and said, "Brother Changsun is so rich that he actually bid 1 taels. This red sandalwood belongs to you!"
Afterwards, Cheng Chumo immediately threw the small piece of rosewood in his hand to Changsun Chong.
"This thing is handed over to you, when are you going to give me the money?"
Changsun Chong got the red sandalwood, he was relieved immediately, and the anger in his heart dissipated in an instant, and he said casually: "I will send someone to Cheng's mansion later."
"Okay, I still believe what Brother Elder Sun said."
Cheng Chumo nodded, then reached out and groped in his arms for a while, and took out a piece of rosewood again.
He looked around, and said loudly: "The next one is the second piece of rosewood, as usual, the one with the highest price gets it!"
Chang Sun Chong: "???"
Chapter 99: Bargaining
Chang Sun Chong looked at the rosewood in Cheng Chumo's hand, and then at the piece in his own hand.
Immediately, the whole person felt bad.
Both pieces are genuine, no fakes.
But how could there be two pieces of such a precious thing?
It's enough for him to spend 1 taels, so why would he buy another one?
But if you don't buy it, this piece of red sandalwood will definitely fall into Li Xiao's hands.
This is what he doesn't want to see.
"How much do you have left? I want them all!" Chang Sun Chong thought for a while and said.
If a large amount of this red sandalwood flows out, the value of the piece in his hand will also depreciate a lot.
But if everything is in your own hands, it will be different.
If you can still win 1 taels, maybe you can resell it.
"Bidding is the old rule, we'll talk about the rest later." Cheng Chumo said flatly.
Chang Sun Chong thought it over and made up his mind.
Still bidding three times, just to be sure, he bought this piece of rosewood with 1 taels of silver.
Then he stared dumbfounded at Cheng Chumo taking out the third piece.
At this time, in addition to shock, his eyes were filled with resentment towards Cheng Chumo.
What worries him even more.
If you take another piece, there won't be any more, right?
"Brother Changsun, don't worry, this is the last piece."
Cheng Chumo seemed to know what Chang Sun Chong was thinking, so he said hastily.
The bidding process for the third piece of rosewood was still the same, and Cheng Chumo was still operating in the same way.
This time Changsun Chong used 5000 taels to win it successfully!
"Really?" Chang Sun Chong asked tentatively holding three pieces of rosewood.
"It's really gone. Brother Changsun is so proud, he just spent these tens of thousands of taels casually." Cheng Chumo said while holding back a smile.
Originally, this large piece of red sandalwood could be sold for 1 taels at most.
He didn't expect that a fool like Chang Sun Chong would come to bid, so he just gave him tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Chang Sun Chong heaved a sigh of relief after getting Cheng Chumo's confirmation again and again.
If there are a few more bids, he will really be overwhelmed.
He still had to ask his father for the tens of thousands of taels of silver.
After thinking for a while, Chang Sun Chong suddenly punched the private room next door, and said politely: "Which honored guest is here? I, Chang Sun Chong, look out and see!"
Of course he knew that it was Li Xiao who was next door.
It's just that now that the things have been obtained, it is natural to ridicule Li Xiao in front of these rich children.
Li Xiao, who was next door, heard Chang Sun Chong's voice, and walked out without hesitation.
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Yue!"
Chang Sun Chong pretended to be surprised, and then pretended to be panic-stricken, and said: "I really don't know that His Royal Highness King Yue is also bidding. If he had known earlier, he would definitely have given it to His Highness."
The implication is that the king of Yue is nothing more than that, the three bids are lower than him, a poor man!
"King Yue?"
"Meet Your Royal Highness the King of Yue!"
The other rich children were startled and knelt down to salute.
"Get up!"
Li Xiao looked at Changsun Chong, the corner of his mouth curled up, and said, "It's not too late to know now, if you really want to give it up to me, then I will reluctantly accept it."
"what?"
Chang Sun Chong was stunned.
Could it be that Li Xiao couldn't hear that his words were just polite?
Why do you really want something?
Although everything was said, Chang Sun Chong would not hand over the things no matter what, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "I have great use for this red sandalwood, and I will send it to Your Highness later."
Later, no specific time was specified.
Chang Sun Chong left a way out for himself.
In the future, just find an excuse to prevaricate.
And here Li Xiao also heard the voice of the system, successfully dismantled the stage, and rewarded some seeds.
Li Xiao couldn't help showing a smile, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to send it."
"Your Highness, I suddenly remembered that I still have something important to do, so I won't stay any longer, and I will leave!"
Chang Sun Chong had a strange expression on his face, and hurriedly resigned.
At this time, his goal was also achieved.
Now everyone here knows that Li Xiao is very poor, and it is very difficult to take out 1 taels.
Therefore, it is impossible for the rich children of those commercial companies to cooperate with Li Xiao to buy food.
But just to be on the safe side, when Chang Sun Chong was about to leave, he called away all the children from rich families.
Li Xiao didn't stop him either, just watched everyone leave.
"Ha ha……"
As soon as the others left, Lu Li and Cheng Chumo burst out laughing.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts from laughing..."
Cheng Chumo hugged his stomach and almost rolled on the ground.
It took a long time for the two to calm down.
Cheng Chumo looked at Li Xiao seriously: "I've sold so much money this time, I want 1 taels, it's not too much!"
"100 taels." Li Xiao's mouth curled up.
"Are you joking?"
