Chapter 40 - sky-high transaction
From fifty gold coins to a hundred gold coins, Warren’s generosity surprised the merchants.
Everyone was a little silent, not sure where Warren’s bottom line was.
For a while, no one dared to make a move.
“One hundred gold coins for the first time!”
“One hundred gold coins for the second time!”
“One hundred gold coins for the third time!”
“make a deal!”
“Let’s congratulate Mr. Warren for taking a pound of refined salt!”
Blanche’s face flushed with excitement, a hundred gold coins! It was the first time she had seen so many gold coins in her life!
“Clap clap clap!”
Zhang Feng took the lead in applauding. Although everyone didn’t know the meaning of his actions, they thought it was similar to congratulations, so they naturally followed Zhang Feng to applaud.
It was at this moment that those businessmen reacted and slapped their thighs.
Miscalculation!
I was fooled by Warren!
Thinking about it now, it is absolutely not a loss to buy a pound of refined salt for a hundred gold coins!
Because they had all received the refined salt gift from Zhang Feng before, they had tasted it themselves, and knew that what the auctioneer said was true. This refined salt is not comparable to the current coarse salt in terms of appearance and taste.
A hundred gold coins and a pound of salt seem to be very expensive, but again, different people have different purchasing power. Naturally, no one will buy it if you sell it to the commoners, but if you sell it to the nobles, or even the royal family, you can definitely make a profit!
What do the nobles and royal families care about the most?
It’s the face!
And refined salt represents the face! These are shiny gold coins!
“Congratulations to Your Excellency Warren!”
“congratulations!”
“Your Excellency Warren is very good! Congratulations!”
The businessmen are a little bit insincere, and even a little regretful. If they were given another chance, they would never give up the refined salt so easily!
“you are welcome!”
Warren had a big smile on his face. When he saw so much refined salt, his budget in his heart was about 100 gold coins. Now that he can win it smoothly, luck is a big factor.
“Congratulations!”
Brown also congratulated him. Although he and Warren are also considered competitors, among these people, the relationship between him and Warren has recently been reached. The two have already reached a strategic cooperation agreement. For the first time, he did not compete with Warren. The second time Warren did not shoot.
Brown doesn’t believe that Zhang Feng has only one auction item.
Sure enough, after the on-the-spot transaction, the hostess brought a wooden tray covered with red cloth.
The crowd became quiet again, and even Warren, who had promised not to shoot for the second time, showed his expectant gaze.
The first time it was a treasure like refined salt, how could it be worse the second time?
“Let’s ask for the second auction item, it is – refined salt!”
Blanche carefully lifted the red cloth, and three small bowls were placed in a zigzag shape. The pure white salt in the bowls glistened in the sunlight.
“There’s even refined salt!”
After the merchants were stunned for a moment, they immediately boiled over!
The first time I completely failed to seize the opportunity and was stunned by Valen, this second time, I will never give up!
Brown’s eyes also lit up, this time Warren promised not to shoot. But looking at the bright-eyed businessmen next to him, Brown has a big head, feeling that this time the competition may be more intense!
“A pound of refined salt, the starting price – ten gold coins!”
As soon as Blanche finished speaking, Brown immediately spoke up.
“One hundred gold coins!”
The first price increase directly doubled tenfold!
Quiet, the scene was quiet for three seconds, and then the discussion broke out.
“Wow, I’ve already been fooled once, I really thought we’d meet for the second time!”
“One hundred gold coins? Oh, I have one hundred and ten gold coins!”
“One hundred and twenty gold coins!”
“One hundred twenty-five!”
“One hundred and thirty-five!”
“one hundred forty!”
“…”
“One hundred and fifty pieces! I hope you can raise your hand, I, Brown, owe you a favor! And no matter what the third auction item is, I will never shoot it again!”
This is Brown’s second bid, directly adding fifty gold coins!
He also had no choice. He had already missed it the first time, and he must not miss the second time. After all, the output of this refined salt is so low, if you buy it, you will earn it. This is an opportunity!
One hundred and fifty gold coins, but it is more than half of the price that Warren just sold, this time he is bound to get it!
Hearing Brown’s words, many businessmen began to hesitate. One is that Brown’s worth is indeed much higher than them. If they really want to fight financially, unless they join forces, they can’t really fight one-on-one. Another one, one hundred and fifty A gold coin is also the default transaction price in their hearts. Besides, Brown also promised to owe them a favor, so there is no need to fight to the death. After all, being a businessman, there are many ways to have many friends.
So people are not bidding.
Blanche looked at Zhang Feng with a vague gaze, because strictly speaking, Brown’s words were not appropriate. After all, the auction is the auction, and as many gold coins as you need to pay, there is no way to overwhelm people with power.
Zhang Feng shook his head slightly, expressing he didn’t care.
For the sake of his extra fifty gold coins, Zhang Feng didn’t care about such trivial matters.
This is exactly Brown’s cleverness. If he had said this when he directly shouted out a hundred gold coins, he would have been blasted out by Zhang Feng long ago.
After Blanche understood Zhang Feng’s eyes, she immediately dropped the hammer.
“One hundred and fifty gold coins for the first time!”
“One hundred and fifty gold coins for the second time!”
“One hundred and fifty gold coins for the third time!”
Boom!
“make a deal!”
“Let’s congratulate Mr. Brown for winning a pound of refined salt at the price of one hundred and fifty gold coins!”
Blanche’s voice was a little hoarse. She thought that 100 gold coins was the most gold coin she had ever seen in her life, and it was also the item with the highest unit price in the auction that she hosted, but after just a few minutes, her personal record is broken!
“Congratulations!”
“Congratulations, Your Excellency Brown!”
“Thank you, everyone, when you need me Brown in the future, just say it!”
Although Brown spent fifty more gold coins, he still had a big smile on his face.
You must know that one of the reasons why he is richer than others is because he has a son in the palace of Buck Kingdom!
If this relationship is used, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com can sell refined salt to the palace, and he is confident that he can earn more than Valen!
Brown generously handed the bag of gold coins to the hostess, and then carefully got his own refined salt with a smile on his face.
“Let’s congratulate Mr. Brown again!”
“Then next is the third auction item!”
It was still the lady of manners full of aristocratic temperament, the same wooden tray, and the same red cloth.
Even everyone could vaguely see the three bowls under the red cloth.
“No way, is there still refined salt?”
“Didn’t it say that only one pound can be extracted in a good year…”
The smiles on the faces of Warren and Brown, who were the first to buy, were a little stiff. Could it be that they were tricked?
And Blanche seemed to know what everyone was thinking, so she spoke directly.
“This is the last pound of refined salt, and there will not be a second sale of refined salt this year. Even the gossip I heard said that the consumption of coarse salt needed to make these refined salts is too high, and it is likely that in the next three years or even more I haven’t made refined salt for a long time!”
Blanche’s words contained deep regret, and this regret was naturally not fake, because Zhang Feng told him, and she believed it.
Blanche thought that she might never see so many gold coins in the future, and the most real emotions were revealed.
Hearing that this is the last batch of refined salt this year, it is very likely to be the last pound of refined salt in the next three years. Even worse, this pound of refined salt may become out of print!
“Hoo~”
These businessmen’s breathing suddenly became heavier, they were panting heavily, their eyes were red, and they were like a bull about to start fighting!
