Several guards at the entrance of the banquet hall stopped Li Yinguang and others, but after taking out the invitations, they were let through without even counting the number of people.
not serious!
Li Yinguang just came to join in the fun and didn't really want to buy anything. Lan Ling was on the left, Xiao Man was leading with the right hand, and Sophia was following behind, walking towards the inside.
The auction venue was also temporarily built, but it was very large and a lot of people had gathered inside. Most of them were the 'Iron Armored City Lords'!
"Old Shik, do you want to sell that shabby armored ship? You are not young anymore. Isn't it a good idea to stay in Manbach town and marry a concubine with two wives to live out your old age? You are living in the open air, what are you doing!"
"That's right, it would be unworthy to be exposed in the wilderness!"
Several iron-clad city lords gathered around Old Shike and joked with each other, their words full of sourness. Because in the past few days, they all knew that Old Shike had made a fortune in the 'Zhenbei Ancient Battlefield'.
The reason why they pay attention to them is because Li Yinguang and Xiaoman saw this old Shi Ke at the supply point camp in the snowy wilderness.
"Get the hell out of here, I'm strong, I can't even die if you leave your corpse in the wilderness."
Lao Shike naturally responded not to be outdone. He was full of energy and didn't look senile at all. People are in high spirits when happy events happen, and that's what he is like now.
"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Do you want to get a close route map to the 'Zhenbei Ancient Battlefield'? Hey, I'll give you thirty thousand silver ox coins per person, whoever can come up with it, I'll give you the route map."
'Give it to whom!"
Listening to Old Shi Ke showing off his pride, the others looked at each other a few times, feeling a little unhappy privately.
"Thirty thousand silver ox coins? Why don't you go grab it, you old fool!"
"That's right, I can't make money as fast as you can if I rob!"
Old Shi Ke didn't mind either, he chuckled and said proudly: "Don't you know how to praise me? I, Old Shi Ke, can go in and out of the 'Zhenbei Ancient Battlefield' several times, and come back with great results every time. How can I do that?"
?Isn’t it just this road map that can ensure everything is foolproof! Thirty thousand silver ox coins per person, you can’t even make a penny!"
The high-spirited look will not only provoke more resentment.
"Old Shi Ke, from what coordinates was that ruined armored city salvaged? Tell me the location and I'll give you five thousand silver ox coins!"
A young man, accompanied by two bewitching girls, walked over, interrupted the chat of Old Shi Ke and others, and interrupted to ask.
‘Bad Boy’ Cordean!
A relatively well-known wealthy second-generation Iron Armor City Lord in the city. His father was once the vice-president of the Iron Armor City Lords Guild in Manbach Town, but died in a guild fight.
When it comes to fame, ‘Bad Boy’ Cordean is not as famous as ‘Bruce’, the idiot aristocrat!
"Five thousand silver ox coins? Hehe, that's a bit less, right? Near that coordinate, as far as I know, there are at least four ruins of armored cities, and each one is larger than the one I brought back. There is even one of its own.
It also carries a radiant light, which is absolutely extraordinary!”
Old Shi Ke narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
The old guy is better at bragging. Li Yinguang had heard of this when he was at the restaurant at the supply point camp, but he didn't expect that the old guy was quite famous and could meet him everywhere.
'Bad boy' Cordine's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said with a smile on his face: "Everyone said that you are an old man in your late teens and you have only a few years to live. You said that you have no children at all."
Wu Nu, to whom will the wealth that you have worked so hard to accumulate be given to in the end?"
"Fuck you, I'm blessed with a great fortune. As you said, even if you die, I'll still be alive and well." Lao Shike squinted his eyes and yelled back.
"You won't sell it even for five thousand silver coins?"
"You bad boy, get away from me. I won't sell it to you even if it's 50,000 silver ox coins!" Old Shi Ke snorted coldly.
Cordienne said with a smile: "Look, you've become annoyed without even saying a few words."
Li Yinguang stood aside and listened for a few words. Seeing that there was no big news, he led Lan Ling and Xiaoman, followed by Sophia, and walked forward.
I just didn't expect that although Lan Ling wore a scarf on his face, his hot figure still attracted the secret attention of others. For example, this "bad boy" Codeen.
Among the dandies in Manbach Town, Cordine is definitely one of them, bullying men, dominating women, and causing trouble.
"Go and find out what the other party's background is!" Codien ordered the middle-aged man who was following behind him.
Others have at most three or four attendants around him, but beside him, there are seven or eight people including girls, attendants, servants, guards, etc., far exceeding the others.
Li Yinguang was guided by the maid and sat down on the seat.
"Distinguished Lord of the Iron Armored City, there will be a dinner later, and several grand auctions will be held before the dinner. The auction items include captured 'monsters', the remains of the Iron Armored City, advanced smelting furnaces, precious metals, special machine weapons, etc.!"
Many of the maids responsible for reception are from the lord's mansion. Although I can't say how good they look, they are better than they are young.
Li Yinguang asked curiously: "Are all the auction items prepared by the party organizer?"
The maid shook her head: "Not necessarily. If you have precious items in your hand that you want to bid on, you can do that, but you need to pay a part of the fee. The person in charge of the auction team will specifically grade the items you provide and give a reasonable auction price.
It’s up to you to decide whether you want to auction it or not!”
Li Yinguang said thoughtfully: "In other words, a large part of the things to be auctioned come from the 'Iron Armored City Lords' themselves?"
The maid nodded: "Yes!"
After a slight pause, he continued: "There is also a small store over there. Some items that are valuable but not qualified for auction will be there for everyone to trade privately."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to an entrance to the east. There was a space connected to it, and people could walk in by themselves.
A 'large' event like this basically costs a lot of money to prepare. It is led by the Lord's Mansion, and its main purpose is to sell the goods in hand.
After all, there are only a small number of products suitable for auction. Many items can only be considered relatively good, but they do not attract much interest from people when put up for auction. There are quite a lot of such products, so a special transaction is reserved for them.
Place.
This is almost the same as the street stalls outside, except that the items are more precious and rarer.
And Li Yinguang also asked, whether you are a buyer or a seller, as long as you have the product in hand and agree to pay the tax, you can take it, mark the price, and place it in the sales area.
As the organizers, the Manbach Town Lord's Palace and the port mainly earn "taxes" and more importantly act as intermediaries.
It’s impossible to do something on such a large scale and in such a big venue if you don’t make some money from it!
