Chapter 21 Strange Iron Mine
() There is a small round platform in the center of the hall, about three meters in diameter and about thirty centimeters above the ground. This is specially built to display the latest products.
Usually when new products are put on the shelves, almost all customers who are selecting items will put down the items in their hands, and then gather around the circular platform, hoping to find good things as soon as possible.
For the sake of fairness, when the goods are displayed for the first time, Xingtong Chamber of Commerce will not allow customers to pick them up in person, which may cause conflicts between individual customers. Therefore, when a batch of goods is displayed for the first time,
, there will be staff guarding the items, placing them one by one so that everyone can see them, but they cannot take them.
Next, interested parties can make a quotation within the specified time. In order to solve the problem of multiple people buying a product at the same time, although the product itself has a price mark, if two or more customers are interested in a certain product at the same time,
items, then they can engage in price competition, which is equivalent to a small auction, and the one with the highest bid gets the item. And in this process, there is no host, no one to explain, everything depends on the eye.
, maybe I fought with others and ended up buying a piece of trash.
When Shangguan Yun and Yao Qinghan came to the center of the hall, the round table had been packed up, and several staff members were already standing beside it waiting to be decided. Shangguan Yun looked around for a long time, but did not see the products to be displayed. It turned out that they had not been arranged yet.
He didn't wait long. After a while, an iron door on the right side of the hall was opened. Shangguan Yun took a closer look. It turned out that there was a staircase leading to the top behind the small door. There was another floor above the hall. Look at this situation.
, maybe the items collected above are more precious than this level.
Sixteen guards carried two large boxes out of the hall. Each of the boxes was three meters long, two meters wide, and one meter high. No wonder eight people were required to carry such a large object.
When the guards placed the box on the round platform, all the staff around them took action. They carefully opened the box and took out the items inside one by one, taking out antiques, handicrafts, etc. that were easier to break first. Fortunately,
The items in this box are packed in a relatively orderly manner, and so many bits and pieces are placed neatly, making it easier to take them out.
From the moment the first item was unveiled, all the customers' eyes began to shine, trying hard to use their own eyesight to catch the 'unparalleled treasure' in their eyes. With everyone's hard work, the usual good
Most of the things were bought the first time they appeared, but the chance of good things appearing is not high. After all, the Xingtong Chamber of Commerce has already screened them once.
Shangguan Yun was also watching carefully. Although he had no intention of buying anything, he had the idea of taking a look, maybe he would find something good, and then reminded Yao Qinghan not to let Xingtong Chamber of Commerce lose a lot of money.
Buy and sell.
The customers are also all seasoned. Even though some people have chosen a certain item, they will remain silent in order not to attract other people's attention. In the end, they will succeed with one strike.
Although Yao Qinghan was the son of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, in order not to arouse the resentment of others, he stood aside politely and did not touch anything.
As the items were placed on the round table one by one, the bottom of the first box had been reached. Shangguan Yun didn't find anything special, so he couldn't help but shook his head and looked at Yao Qinghan. Yao Qinghan shrugged, he was
I don’t have any discernment, and I don’t know Shangguan Yun’s thoughts. I just want to pick a few beautiful-looking works of art at the end.
After everything was taken out of the first box, the staff then opened the second box. Placed outside the round table were books, antiques and other things that you need to get close to see clearly, but the inside can be seen at a glance
Outstanding color, shape of materials and those bulky weapons.
The items in the second box were also taken out one by one. Because there were no large items in the new shipment this time, the round table could be placed, whereas in the past, it sometimes had to be placed several times.
The staff are all very experienced, and each one is quick and carries out their work in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, a strange stone-like gray object attracted Shangguan Yun. At first glance, this object looked like a relatively large piece of pure iron ore, with a diameter of about thirty centimeters. Shangguan Yun had never seen such a big piece before.
Iron ore. Generally, pure iron ore is in the form of granules, which is relatively common, with a maximum diameter of about five centimeters.
There is another characteristic of pyrite ore. Impure pyrite ore is black. This piece of pyrite is gray, which can only mean that it is pure pyrite. Moreover, as soon as the pyrite ore is artificially smelted, it will be destroyed.
It will turn into a deep color that is almost black, unless it is smelted under high temperature and high pressure, and that can only be achieved in the center of the earth using the power of the earth, so generally only pure natural iron ore will be gray.
.And this piece of hot iron ore is 30 centimeters in diameter and is covered with natural stripes, so it looks weird.
If there is something inside the mineral that makes the diameter so large, it can only be caused by the fact that the iron ore is wrapped in the molten state. Shangguan Yun knows the liquid temperature of the iron ore, and basically no material can withstand it.
Yes, iron ore is famous for its resistance to high temperatures.
After observing for a while, Shangguan Yun suddenly realized that the stripes on the iron ore were not natural stripes, but were clearly engraved runes of a certain formation! Now, Shangguan Yun became even more interested.
"That piece of stuff is rather weird." Shangguan Yun said softly to Yao Qinghan beside him. Yao Qinghan nodded after hearing this and had a preliminary impression of Zhitie Mine.
In the following time, Shangguan Yun also saw several products whose prices were inconsistent with the actual value. Some products were priced at about two thousand gold coins, but if you find the right person, it should not be difficult to sell them for five thousand gold coins. However, Xingtong Chamber of Commerce
It cost 1,800 gold coins to buy the goods, so I am not afraid of others taking advantage of the price difference, and I will not lose money.
Finally, all the products were placed. Shangguan Yun also stopped observing. He also looked at what he needed to see. Among all the products, only the huge piece of iron ore caught his attention.
All customers have their own plans in mind. Yao Qinghan touched Guanyun and said softly: "Is there anything you like?"
Shangguan Yun looked at the price tag of one thousand on the Zhi Iron Mine, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, there is nothing very important to me yet."
Yao Qinghan followed Shangguan Yun's eyes and looked over, and saw the huge piece of iron ore. In addition, Shangguan Yun had just mentioned it to him, so he felt confident. He pointed at the piece of iron ore and said, "Is it that piece of iron ore?"
Iron lump?"
Shangguan Yun waved his hand indifferently and replied: "Oh, I'm just a little interested in that thing. I don't have any big ideas at all."
"As long as you are interested, everything is easy to discuss, haha." Yao Qinghan didn't care about Shangguan Yun's last words at all, and put his arm around Shangguan Yun's shoulders.
The staff announced that it was time to start bidding for items, and customers who had been waiting for a long time began to choose their favorite items. Some items encountered competition, so they started bidding. Some items only had one candidate, so they were successfully sold by that person.
A man bought it, but the piece of iron ore had been lying there, no one cared about it.
Yao Qinghan waved his hand, called a staff member, pointed to the piece of iron ore and said: "You, bring me that piece of iron ore, I want it." Because there was no competition, the staff successfully removed the piece of iron ore.
The iron ore was handed to Yao Qinghan.
Yao Qinghan held the iron ore with both hands and frowned, because it was relatively heavy. He couldn't wait to hand it to Guanyun and said, "Here, take it, it's too heavy to carry, and I don't want to take it."
Shangguan Yun was a little stunned and didn't react for a while.
Yao Qinghan got a little impatient, threw it into Shangguan Yun's arms, and complained: "If you want to take it, just take it quickly. Really, it was so stupid that it didn't move for a long time."
Shangguan Yun subconsciously hugged Zhitie Mine, and then explained to Yao Qinghan: "No... no, I don't want it, why are you giving it to me?"
"Aren't you interested in it? I think you are only interested in this iron lump among so many things, so I am going to give it to you." Yao Qinghan looked matter-of-fact.
"Send...give it to me?" Shangguan Yun still didn't react, giving himself such a big pile of dusty iron ore? This scene seemed a bit funny.
"Yes, I'll give it to you. What's the matter? I don't believe it. I can't make the final decision on such a thing? Really, mother-in-law." Yao Qinghan's tone became manly again at this time. He thought Shangguan Yun disliked iron.
The mine owner doesn't want to take it.
"Okay..." Shangguan Yun held the iron ore in his arms and expressed his acceptance. It is worth a thousand gold coins. Although it is expensive, who can tell Yao Qinghan is rich? If you give it away, you will give it away. It's just that the price of this thing is a bit different. If
If it was really an ordinary iron ore, then I would be dumbfounded. If I took a lump of iron ore back home, my second brother, Shangguan Fenghua, would laugh to death.
Touching the rough runes on the iron ore, Shangguan Yun took a closer look. After a few glances, Shangguan Yun was shocked. It turned out that he saw that this was a smaller version of the magic sealing array. He guessed
, there should be an item in this scorching iron mine with relatively large source power fluctuations, otherwise the magic sealing array would not be used.
While Shangguan Yun was thinking about it, he suddenly felt as if he was locked by something. It was a kind of soul lock, similar to the previous lock in Yantian, but the effect was far worse.
Turning around suddenly, Shangguan Yun saw an old man in black robes looking at him with bright eyes, or to be precise, looking at the iron ore in his hand.
Seeing that Shangguan Yun had discovered him, the old man in black robes averted his eyes and instead walked towards Shangguan Yun calmly.
The old man in black robe has already bought several things, and as long as he likes something, he will definitely buy it, and even compete with others at a high price. At this time, he walked towards Shangguan Yun, and most of the time he liked it.
The iron ore in Shangguan Yun's hands.
Shangguan Yun examined the old man in black robe and then looked at the items in the old man's hands. He found that this old man in black robe specialized in buying crystal stones related to energy, or rare materials that looked like crystal stones. Originally, he had already
This time, he had bought everything related to crystal stones and had already stopped to rest, but Shangguan Yun caught his attention, so he showed signs of taking action again.
The old man in black robe slowly walked up to Shangguan Yun and asked in a hoarse voice: "Little brother, can you show me what you have in your hand?" From the look on his face, he should also be interested in this piece of iron ore.
A little skeptical.
Before Shangguan Yun could speak, Yao Qinghan rushed to say: "This thing already belongs to us, why should I show it to you?" Because he had already given this piece of iron ore to Shangguan Yun, so he didn't want others to covet it.
.
The old man in black robe narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said to Yao Qinghan in a slow and unhurried manner: "This young master is joking. I just saw you get this item directly without going through any formalities.
That is to say, this item has not gone through price competition, so how can you say that this item is already yours?" With the eyesight of the old man in black robe, he was able to identify Yao Qinghan's gender in one go and directly called him Young Master.
.
Yao Qinghan didn't have a very good temper towards strangers. When he saw this old man, he was still entangled, so he immediately revealed his identity, spread his hands, made a sorry gesture and said: "I'm sorry, old gentleman,
I am the second young master of the Xingtong Chamber of Commerce. No one was interested in this item at first, so why didn't you buy it? Now I have it, so even if you want it, you have no right to compete."
The old man in black robe just raised his eyebrows slightly at Yao Qinghan's revealed identity, and then he didn't react. He obviously didn't take it to heart. Then he said: "Even if you are the second young master of Xingtong Chamber of Commerce, you must abide by it."
Rules, this is a business transaction. If you break the rules because of your identity, wouldn’t it lower the credibility of the Xingtong Chamber of Commerce?"
When Yao Qinghan saw the old man using the reputation of the Xingtong Chamber of Commerce to suppress him, he immediately became angry. He didn't like being threatened by others. When he was angry, Yao Qinghan was not in the mood to show off, and he was also very tough.
"You old man, are you threatening me? I just took it away. This store is owned by my family. I can do whatever I want. I won't tell you any rules. At worst, I won't open it."
Yao Qinghan said angrily.
Shangguan Yun pulled Yao Qinghan with his hand and told him to calm down and not make the matter a big deal, because he saw that the old man was extraordinary. An old man who could use his soul to coerce, Shangguan Yun felt that this old man in black robe was even better than Song Xuan
Chen Xiu from the academy is even stronger.
After the old man in black robe heard Yao Qinghan's words, his eyes were instantly filled with anger. However, he stabilized himself and finally held back, as if he had any scruples. However, he ignored Yao Qinghan and went straight to his work.
The officer said: "I will pay 10,000 gold coins to buy this thing." After speaking, he pointed to the iron ore in Shangguan Yun's arms.
The staff member looked at Yao Qinghan a little embarrassed. He didn't know what to do for a moment, so he stood still.
"Hey, you even asked for a higher price. Okay, I will use my identity as a customer to compete with you, so as not to say that I am using my identity. I will offer you one hundred thousand gold coins. Really, compare my money." Yao Qinghan waved his hand and
