Chapter 42 They seem to have no money
"Three hundred and fifty gold coins!"
Valen bid again.
However, the high price of 350 gold coins still cannot stop these people from taking action.
"Three Hundred and Sixty Gold Coins!"
"Three hundred and seventy-five gold coins!"
Terry's neck had exposed veins. Obviously, after buying a pound of fine salt before, the price was almost at his limit.
"Four hundred gold coins!"
Valen still did not give up. He only used 100 gold coins for a pound of fine salt. Relatively speaking, the pressure was not so great.
Hearing Valen add four hundred gold coins directly, Terry shook his head with a wry smile. This was beyond the limit he could bear. It was not that he could not take out so many gold coins, but that after he took them out, he almost had no gold coins in his hand. Cash flow in business is very important, otherwise his ability to resist risks would be too poor.
"I give up!"
Terry gave up the price increase, and currently only Valen and Brown are bidding on the court.
Although merchants who come here today can be called big merchants, big merchants and big merchants are still different. For example, Valen, Brown and Terry, the three of them are in the first echelon, and the others are in the second echelon. The financial resources of the others are not as good as those of these three.
Seeing Terry give up, both Valen and Brown breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and now one competitor has been removed, leaving only each other.
"Four Hundred and Twenty Gold Coins!"
Brown had a slight spark in his eyes. Although he and Valen were good friends, he would not give in to his interests at the moment.
"Four Hundred and Thirty Gold Coins!"
Valen continued to follow up without any permission.
"His Excellency Brown, we are all so familiar with each other, why bother to fight and give you a face? I will make a backup gift in the future!"
"His Excellency Valen, you are familiar with it and business is business. This cannot be confused!"
Brown smiled and shook his head.
"Four hundred and fifty gold coins!"
As soon as the price was released, the scene suddenly became quiet. Valen frowned. He didn't have many gold coins in his hand. He believed that as long as he bought half a pound of white sugar and operated a little, he would definitely make sure to make a profit. However, the problem arises in this operation. He has less than 500 gold coins in his hand. It may be more troublesome after buying it.
But Valen still didn't want to give up, so he gritted his teeth and made a bid for the last time.
"Four Hundred and Eighty Gold Coins! If you bid higher, I'll give up!"
Seeing that Valen was not a fake, Brown knew that this had reached his limit.
In normal times, Brown might become a beauty, but it doesn’t work now. This is probably the only white sugar in the country or even the world!
"Four hundred and ninety gold coins! Then thank you, Lord Valen, for your accomplishment!"
Brown did not add a gold coin to disgustingly, but directly added ten, which gave Valen enough face.
"Why……"
Valen sighed. Although he didn't want to give up, his wallet was not allowed!
"Four hundred and ninety gold coins for the first time!"
Blanche never dreamed that this half pound of white sugar could sell so many gold coins. She looked at everyone with some hope. Is there anyone else who has increased the price?
"The second time for four hundred and ninety gold coins!"
It seems that there is nothing left. Both Valen and Terry gave up on bidding. Since that's the case, Blanche is not in a bad mood.
"The third time for four hundred and ninety gold coins! The deal was made!"
Dong!
"Let us congratulate Mr. Brown for buying half a pound of white sugar that is likely out of print at the price of 490 gold coins!"
Blanche is also quite scheming. She said that it might be out of print. As for whether it is possible or impossible, this is the final say of Zhang Feng.
Smack sex~
Zhang Feng took the lead in applauding, and the merchants began to congratulate him.
They were all very envious. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that buying this thing is profitable, but because of the fact that the funds were not as strong as others, they could only give Brown an envious look.
Brown did not bring so many gold coins on him, so he asked the servants standing outside to pick up the gold coins.
Taking advantage of the money, Zhang Feng winked at Blanche, and Blanche understood in seconds.
"Our auction continues, and next are some gadgets, I hope everyone can enjoy it."
Blanche clapped her hands and several graceful etiquette ladies came on stage again.
Each of them carries different items.
A kitchen knife, a long spoon, and a shovel.
"You may not know much about our city lord. Let me briefly introduce it. Our city lord comes from the far east, which is an extremely mysterious country. Like fine salt and white sugar are brought by the adults!"
Blanche seemed to have said something that was not important to the auction, but the merchants were all attracted and didn't even pay much attention to the tools on the stage.
"The distant East? Is it the capital?"
Some businessman was confused.
"No, it's obvious that it's not the capital. The capital does not have fine salt and white sugar!"
Brown shook his head, and he bid for the fine salt and white sugar and was about to sell it to the capital. He was quite familiar with the situation of the capital.
"It's even further than the king. Is it the Kingdom of Luoyan? Or the Kingdom of Gama?"
“Even further?”
The merchants were talking in a low voice, and everyone was still very interested in the origin of the city lord Zhang Feng, but seeing that Zhang Feng didn't want to say much, they did not come to ask Zhang Feng on purpose, as that would only make people sick.
Seeing that everyone was attracted, Blanche said again:
"And the three kitchen utensils I have brought from his hometown by Mr. Zhang Feng. Their material is not gold or silver, but a special metal called stainless steel. It will never rust! And it is heat resistant, high temperature resistant, low temperature resistant, corrosion resistant, and wear-resistant..."
Blanche said a lot of "defense" in one breath, and the more the merchants listened, the brighter their eyes became.
"Then it was made using super high craftsmanship! You can experience it yourself. I believe you have never seen this material and this craftsmanship."
The etiquette lady brought the kitchen utensils to the merchants.
Valen picked up the square kitchen knife, which was heavier than expected. The blade shone silver, and Valen did not doubt its sharpness at all.
"It's a good knife! What a pity..."
It’s a pity that Valen’s knife is too small, so it would be great if it were a knight’s sword.
Generally, knight swords are forged with iron, and you have to spend coins every day to maintain them, otherwise they will rust and scrap in no time.
If this is a knight sword, it will definitely be sold at a sky-high price!
Spoons and shovels are much lighter than kitchen knives. This completely different metal makes merchants love it.
After all, rare means business opportunities.
Although most people may not care too much about kitchen utensils, if there are better choices, the great nobles will not be stingy with their gold coins.
"So, first of all, this stainless steel kitchen knife starts at ten gold coins!"
"Twenty!"
“Twenty-eight!”
"thirty!"
“…”
In the end, the stainless steel kitchen knife was bought by fifty gold coins, the stainless steel shovel was sold for forty gold coins, and the stainless steel spoon was also sold for forty gold coins.
At the same time, Brown's gold coins had also been sent. Looking at the golden gold coins, Zhang Feng felt that the auction was a complete success. These people probably didn't have much money, so the bidding items behind were almost the same.
