Chapter 945: A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way
"make a deal!"
"For seventy taels of silver, this manuscript of "Emergency Chapter" was purchased by Mr. Pang. After the auction is over, this work will be delivered to you. Please be patient -"
Yi Xiaotian brought a small wooden hammer in a decent manner, and even put on something called a glove that no one could understand. It seemed quite formal.
It's not that they can't understand the auction format, it's just...it's just that the speed of the young man on the stage, including the rhythm of his words, makes it difficult to calm down.
Seventy taels of silver is actually quite a lot of money. The middle-aged Confucian scholar named Mr. Pang's family is still relatively wealthy, but this time he only brought a hundred and ten taels of silver - the author of this "Ji Jiu Zhang"
For the calligraphy book, he originally expected it to be around fifty taels, but now...he might not be able to buy another calligraphy work that he originally liked.
It can be seen that Mr. Pang's expression was quite relieved after taking a picture of a calligraphy work, but those who had not bought their favorite work were anxious.
Unexpected competition, higher-than-expected prices, and fast-paced auctions made it impossible for them to think calmly.
can only say…
It can only be said that Yi Xiaotian really knows how to make money.
Huang Xiang, Yu Fan and others looked dumbfounded in the audience. In less than a stick of incense, Yi Xiaotian took three pictures of calligraphy in a row, and all of them exceeded their original value - not that Huang Xiang was belittling.
At his own level, he simply has never seen calligraphy and painting and yet he can sell it quickly in this way.
Before...he wanted to sell a piece of calligraphy before, but it was all written dryly and waiting for others to come to ask for it.
A gentleman has a right way to acquire wealth, of course... to put it more harshly, it means he cannot lose face.
"Hehehe, little brother Zhantang is really shameless. His method of selling calligraphy made me want to buy a few of them - well, it seems that I can leave it to him.
It is indeed quite appropriate.”
Zhang Hong smiled happily. He was not in a hurry, because he knew that the calligraphy work he wanted to buy was still behind him. The key was...even if he did not buy the calligraphy work, what he really expected was the so-called "
The finale."
Yu Fan planned to watch a show. He was not very interested in calligraphy. What he really wanted was how Yi Xiaotian's plan to save Sun Shangxiang was going to proceed. In order to dispel his doubts, he had to be present.
.
The real anxious person is not any of them.
But...it was the jealous Chen Fuan who had been staying at the end of the corridor.
——
"Damn it! Damn it! How could this be? Do these people have no brains? That kid made a lot of money for nothing - it's just a little trick, can't anyone see it?"
To correct one statement, Chen Fuan is not useless - he is actually quite accomplished when it comes to making money.
This form of auction only lasted for a short time before Chen Fuan saw through Yi Xiaotian's trick.
In fact, he himself had already thought about doing this once - but... Huang Xiang, his cheap father-in-law, simply cut off the relationship with his daughter because of his reputation.
When he got married in Huangming, he had not thought about discussing this money-making model with Huang Xiang. However... Huang Xiang was unwilling to give him even a piece of calligraphy. This matter made Huang Xiang jealous.
Until now.
The results of it?
As a result, it was obviously the method he thought of first and the method he first wanted to implement to make money. The young man named Zhantang on the stage got there first.
Just look at the fanatical impulse of these leeks in the audience, and look at their self-awareness that they are not aware of their wallets being emptied. It is easy to imagine how rich Chen Fuan would have been if he had succeeded back then - even though
He is also very rich now.
The gap between classes is difficult to bridge by ordinary means.
Art is one of the few bridges.
What is Chen Fu'an's ultimate goal? He wants his family to become a new aristocratic family, so that he can transform from a despised businessman into a true nobleman. But now... all the methods that have been put in front of him:
Calligraphy and painting business - can easily mix with these upper class people.
His friendship with the Gu family could free him from the constraints of the Zhang family.
All these methods seem to have gradually become impossible because of one person.
Therefore, the jealousy and anger in Chen Fu'an's heart broke out.
"Stupid! What kind of bullshit calligraphy is just a piece of crap on the street. A few broken characters can be sold for seventy taels of silver. The person who wrote it is despicable and the person who buys it is even more ignorant!"
"What did you say?"
Huang Ming was startled when his husband suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted to the stage with such a loud voice.
Mr. Pang, who had just been relieved to buy a calligraphy work, became angry and wanted to retaliate when he heard that his behavior was said to be blind.
The results of it?
"Let him continue talking! Brother Pang, don't be angry. It's just a villain. It's nothing to care about. You and I know the level of writing is so high. Whether it's worth it or not, it's the turn of outsiders to judge it."
"Brother Zhantang, just keep going."
Zhang Hong obviously knows that at this time, if you talk to someone like Chen Fuan, it will actually give him a reason to continue to pester him.
As soon as the big shot spoke, he immediately calmed down the situation.
Mr. Pang lifted his sleeves, quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, and sat down calmly.
Yi Xiaotian stood on the stage, looking like he had expected it. Chen Fuan's teeth felt itchy when he saw it.
"Since Mr. Zhang has said so, let's continue."
"The next picture——"
——
The auction was proceeding steadily under such a magical situation.
Next, more than a dozen calligraphy works were exhibited one after another. Whenever a calligraphy work appeared, many people would compete for it. During this period, the price of dozens of taels gradually increased to hundreds, two or three hundred taels.
Every piece of calligraphy was quickly photographed, and most of the people who took the pictures were satisfied.
Except for a certain calligraphy work on display, he will criticize it from the side and add a sentence at the end:
"I wouldn't want this kind of rags even if they were given to me!"
"Shopkeeper Chen, do you really not want to buy a calligraphy work?"
"Speaking of which, there is also a complete manuscript of urgent chapters here. Unlike the previous fragments, this complete manuscript of urgent chapters is the work of Master Huang's daily hard work. No more, no less - I will sell it to you for one thousand taels of silver.
alright."
When Chen Fuan heard what Yi Xiaotian said, his lungs almost exploded with anger.
"A thousand taels of silver? Why don't you go and grab it? Haha... You can't hide your ugly face at last, right? You know that I have nearly a thousand taels of silver in my hand, so I really want it, right?"
But soon, Chen Fuan seemed to have figured it out. After he figured it out, he laughed loudly under the gaze of everyone.
"Hahahaha...I see, that's it, this thousand taels of silver - you really want it, don't you?"
He took out the nugget of gold from his arms again.
Putting on an expression of pity, he laughed at Yi Xiaotian:
"What a pity. Today... you won't even get a penny from me!"
