"The warm-up auction is over, let's get to the main topic today, the ghost wine auction. I believe many people already know a lot about this unique magic wine, but I still have to repeat it today.
This kind of magic wine has special effects on priests, people with excessive yang energy, especially women. However, ordinary people must not drink too much, otherwise it will cause unimaginable consequences. Please be sure to remind you when selling it.
customer.
The ghost wines of Chateau Vizeme come with their own anti-counterfeiting mark of the estate. Please look for it because all the wines are packaged uniformly.
There are ten bottles in each box, and a group of ten boxes. The bidding for the first group is now with a base price of 10,000 gold coins, and each increase in price will not be less than 100 gold coins. Start now."
Regina personally opened the black wooden box belonging to another half-elf girl beside her and took out a bottle of packaged ghost wine.
Under the illumination of the rising sun, the businessmen in the first five or six rows could clearly see the image of a miniature manor, floating in the wine bottle, changing its position as the wine continued to sway.
Although most businessmen have not seen the appearance of Vizeme Manor, they are 100% sure that it is the epitome of Vizeme Manor.
"Twelve thousand."
"Thirteen thousand."
"Ten thousand and fourteen."
"Fifteen thousand."
After a relatively fierce competition, the first group of ghost wines settled on 18,000.
The price is slightly higher than Holy Light Spirits, but it is relatively limited. It is estimated that this will be the market price in the future, and the fluctuation will not exceed 30%.
The merchants present are all the best among people. They predict the market very accurately. Once the forecast line is exceeded, they will no longer increase prices rashly.
What's more, they don't believe that this is the only group of ghost wines, and there are still opportunities to take action later.
The next auction will basically revolve around the number eighteen thousand.
The highest group only managed to capture 19,500, not even 20,000.
The lowest group didn’t drop even 16,000, so there was some element of aberration in it.
No more, no less, the Vizeme Estate auctioned a total of one hundred groups of ghost wines, totaling 10,000 bottles, with a total value of 1.88 million.
Including the ghost eyebands and ghost cloaks previously auctioned, Gavin's ghost wine auction brought in nearly two million.
Facing this terrifying figure, all the businessmen's eyes turned red.
Looking at the Vizeme Manor and the vineyards, it was obvious that something was different.
Money moves people's hearts.
This can already equal the entire income of an ancient dragon's nest.
For this wealth, countless people can ignore the terrifying power of the ancient dragon and embark on the road of dragon slaying.
Not to mention a small manor.
They didn't know that not all of these ghost wines belonged to Gavin personally, but that there were shares of the other two companies in them. After excluding the principal and dividing the shares, it would be great if he could only have half left.
The methods merchants use to pay are also varied.
Those who directly use boxes and boxes of currency to trade are only a minority among the few.
Most of the deductions are made with goods, and the goods are also varied.
The largest quantity among them is naturally food.
This is a hard currency with a relatively stable price, plus Gavin had previously said that he would eat a lot of grain, and the valley was a famous granary in the surrounding area.
When the boatloads of food came to rest, Gavin had to face a happy worry, where to store the food?
It can't be piled up here like a mountain. The rainy season of Cormanso is coming next month, and it will rain continuously for a month.
When the rainy season is over, these grains will also become moldy and rotten.
The rest are jewelry, metal ingots, weapons and armor.
It is worth mentioning that there was even a Sambian businessman who traded the finest cotton from Mifune Feiyu Valley.
Another person directly sold the two extra cargo ships to Gavin at a discount.
Gavin naturally refused to accept anyone who came, and even if the price asked by these two businessmen was a little exaggerated, he readily agreed.
Who makes him wealthy now, yet he is in short supply of both supplies?
With these three ships of high-quality cotton, his ghost textile workshop can start to operate. As long as it starts to move, it will create more value.
The two cargo ships made up for the gap of having sailors but no ships, and he no longer relied solely on halflings for water transportation.
The ghost wine auction only lasted one day, but the subsequent transactions took five full days.
The accounts were so numerous and messy that Gavin had no choice but to use bionic technology or even overclocking to enhance his intelligence to help settle the accounts.
There is no way, let alone a calculator, Faerun does not even have an abacus, everything must be calculated by hand and mentally.
And Gavin currently lacks talents in this area. Even the half-elf girls led by Regina are not very effective in this matter, and they are not as useful as the dog demon.
In the end, Gavin had to recruit his old friend Bede as a strong man to assist him in later transactions.
He is an old expert in this field. He not only has strong mental arithmetic skills, but also knows the prices of most commodities. He is also good at appraising and bargaining, which is really helpful. Otherwise, Gavin would have lost 30,000 to 50,000 yuan just for this alone.
If there is an opportunity in the future, I will try my best to improve Faerûn's trading methods and make trade simpler.
To put it simply, this matter is simply a problem of financial institutions.
It's hard to say it's difficult. If there is not strong enough support behind it, let alone whether this financial institution can be recognized by people, security is definitely a big problem.
Do you think those dragons can resist the temptation of piles of gold coins?
Especially the evil colorful dragons.
…
Blood horn.
This abrupt mountain peak rises from the ground and is located in the open space between Thunder Peak and Sebo Lake. It looks like a huge red tooth and the terrain is very dangerous.
This land once belonged to the Sesiren Valley, also known as Death Valley, because it has disappeared into the dust of history for a century.
In 1232, Sethren Valley, led by the Twilight Lord, went to war with Bow Valley to compete for the ownership of the Thunder Rift Valley, a key entrance to the East Trade Road, but was defeated by Bow Valley.
Bow Valley accused the Twilight Lords of using evil witchcraft to kill or drive away the residents of Sesiren Valley, destroying the buildings, farmlands and mines they could see.
The most vicious thing is that Bow Valley sprinkled a lot of salt on all the land suitable for farming in the Sai Seren Valley afterwards, destroying the soil here and making it impossible for those who fled Sai Seren Valley to return to their hometowns and rebuild their homes afterwards.
.
Nowadays, the place has become desolate and remote, and there are rumors that the Twilight Lord has resurrected as a powerful ghost for revenge. He is recruiting his own army of death to take revenge on Bow Valley, his enemies a century ago, especially the Akon family.
Therefore, except for a few bold trappers and loggers, few people come to this land.
Today, this land welcomed a visitor who was incompatible with this land.
I saw this visitor, wearing a crisp tuxedo and a pair of polished leather shoes, walking in the air, acting elegantly, as if he was preparing to attend a banquet where celebrities gathered.
If Gavin were here, he would be able to recognize the identity of this visitor at a glance - Carter, the representative of the Sambia Business Council.
Carter's destination was the stone mountain covered with bright red rocks, barren of any vegetation.
What few people know is that Bloodhorn is the home of a red dragon.
Carter is one of these few people. Not only does he know that the red dragon is called Thraxata, but he also knows that he is the red dragon that has caused trouble on the East Road for many years, nicknamed the Disaster of the East Road.
The East Trade Road starts from Yehong in the east, crosses Odulin, and runs through the entire Sambia. It then passes through Tase Valley, Bow Valley, crosses the Thunder Rift Valley, and then crosses the entire central region of Cormyr. It is Sambia.
One of the core business principles.
Thraxata has been causing trouble on this trade road for decades, and it has still not been found and destroyed by Sambian merchants sending mercenaries.
It's not because it's powerful enough, nor because its hiding place is so secret.
But it never plundered the caravans of Sambian merchants. On the contrary, the competitors of those Sambian merchants often suffered disasters. Not only did the entire army be wiped out, but the goods might appear in the hands of their rivals in the blink of an eye.
If it is a coincidence once or twice, if it has been the case for decades, then it is no longer a coincidence.
This shows that this red dragon has a cooperative relationship with Sambian merchants.
After Carter arrived at Bloody Corner, he felt like he was in a deserted place, which is the best proof of this.
It's not that the Blood Horn was defenseless. Ever since Carter approached the Blood Horn for ten kilometers, there were sneaky figures following him both above his head and below his feet.
But the aura emanating from his body made those creatures dare not approach rashly.
That is the dragon power belonging to Thraxata, the supreme ruler of this place.
When Carter arrived, there was already a behemoth lying on the top platform of the Blood Horn. The red dragon scales blended into the rocks beneath it. If it hadn't been for the thick smoke in its breath, it would have almost killed him.
People mistakenly thought it was a red rock.
It is none other than Thraxata, the owner of this place. It seems that it has already known that Carter is coming and is waiting for him here specially.
No dragon will easily allow others to enter its dragon lair, not even allies in a cooperative relationship.
Carter only knew that Thraxata could be found in Blood Corner, but he was not sure whether the cunning red dragon's lair was located here or if it was just a disguised target nest.
"Tell me, which chamber of commerce are you planning to target this time?" Slaksata snorted lazily, smelling of sulfur, "I was very dissatisfied with the final payment you gave me last time, so this time
, you pay first and do the work later.”
After Carter bowed and saluted, he defended: "The intelligence was wrong last time. The chamber of commerce that we dealt with had its own problems. It suffered a huge deficit and did not harvest much wealth at all. We have already given everything to you. We just followed.
It’s all a waste of work.”
"The news error is your business, not mine, so I don't care, I still have to make up for the agreed part, even if you pay for it out of your own pocket." The red dragon stared at Carter with red eyes, and followed.
The flames jumped, and a terrifying pressure spread from his body.
Carter seemed unaware of this pressure and leaned forward and said: "The losses from the last time have been completely made up this time. No, it should be countless times more, because just a few days ago, they made a one-time account of two million."
According to the previous division of accounts for Nobao's goods, you will make a net profit of 1.5 million Nobao!"
"One and a half million Nobles!" When the red dragon heard this number, not only did the body of the Red Dragon stand up, but its flaming eyes also turned into the shape of golden Nobles.
His current treasure trove combined is only half of this number.
As if to prove his words, Carter took out a gemstone and stirred with magic power.
A holographic image appeared in front of the red dragon. There was a sea of people inside. An auction was going on, and bids came and went. Each bid was not hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands or tens of thousands of Nobles.
Listening to Slaksata's passion, her heart beat faster.
