Chapter 558: A New Collaborator
As the storm of the explosion of the living in the restaurant gradually subsided, the second auction began on time at 2 p.m.
This time, instead of fooling people with those messy rags, the auctioneer came up with a few things of real value.
Especially the inconspicuous black stone on the podium at the moment turned out to be a substance that Zhang Cheng had never seen before, so he did not hesitate to join the ranks of the offer.
In an instant, the stone soared from 50 gold dinars to 2,000 gold dinars.
Obviously, although these "wrongdoers" lack the eye to recognize the value of magical items, they are not really stupid and know how to distinguish which of the buyers in this room are more knowledgeable.
Once these people make a bid, they will immediately follow up and will not give up easily if they do not exceed the maximum limit of their ability.
Fortunately, 2,000 dinars was already an out-and-out price for most of the outside auction participants, and in the end, only an old man in his sixties and a middle-aged woman in her forties still did not choose to give up.
"Two thousand and fifty!"
"Two thousand one hundred!"
"Two thousand one hundred and fifty!"
"Two thousand two!"
......
Seeing these two guys adding up little by little with hideous faces, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile, and directly raised his arm and said, "Five thousand!"
When the auctioneer heard this price, he immediately waved his small mallet and shouted: "Five thousand! This gentleman pays five thousand gold dinars!
The audience was silent!
Even the old man and middle-aged woman who had just bid chose to remain silent.
On the one hand, the five thousand gold dinars had exceeded the limit of what they could bear, and on the other hand, they had heard of the clash in the restaurant at noon, and their hearts were full of fear for the young people in the VIP seats.
After all, the direct heirs of the oldest Marcus family in North America all say that they will blow up, and even Lafern, the member of the Supreme Council, just acted as a peacemaker and did not make any form of punishment, even idiots can feel the unusual atmosphere.
"Five thousand for the first time!"
"Five thousand for the second time!"
"Five thousand for the third time!"
"Congratulations to this gentleman for acquiring a mysterious stone from the region of ancient Mesopotamia!"
Seeing that no one continued to bid, the auctioneer immediately dropped the hammer and announced the ownership of the strange sale.
In fact, he never dreamed that the mysterious stone, which he had no idea what to do with it, would be sold for a high price of five thousand gold dinars.
Just when Zhang Cheng was about to get up to pay the money and get this piece of unknown substance in his hand earlier, a rather familiar figure suddenly ran in from the door, sat beside him, and said breathlessly: "Yes...... It works! That bottle is really working! My son's lymphoma is going away! Thank you! Thank you so much! I don't know what words to use to describe my mood at the moment!"
"As I said, tonic potions can cure all diseases, curses, poisons, and negative magical effects. ”
"Yes! Yes! I shouldn't doubt you! I apologize!"
Obviously, the guy who suddenly broke in was none other than Chester Basham, who had bought a bottle of tonic potion for three hundred and fifty gold dinars in the morning.
Although he was sweating profusely and the skin on his face was red after strenuous exercise, he was in good spirits, without the slightest trace of worry and decadence that he had shown before.
"Congratulations, sir, may you and your children always be healthy. Hearing that the child was out of danger, Elizabeth hastened to send her blessings.
Chester Basham wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with a smile, "Thank you too, kind and beautiful young lady." Oh yes, and to show your appreciation, you can always call me whenever you need anything in the future. I swear that as long as it is within my means, I will never refuse. ”
"Oh, can you help me launch two satellites?" Zhang Cheng suddenly remembered the many good things he had brought back from the Marvel world, and maybe it was time to take them out and bask in the sun.
To be honest, it's a bit overwhelming to get used to the advanced electronic devices provided by S.H.I.E.L.D., and then to use the smartphones and junk computers that are just getting started in this world.
What's more, he also has an artificial intelligence program written by Iron Man Tony Stark, and once it is connected to the satellite, many exploration missions will be much easier, such as the Spanish treasure ship that is silent at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
"Launching satellites?" Chester Basham visibly froze. "This kind of thing just needs to be reported, and you can do it with money, right?"
Zhang Cheng smiled and shook his head: "No, it's different. My satellite is a bit special and I don't want anyone to check it. ”
"I see...... No problem, I happen to know some friends from NASA, and maybe I can get a little busy, but it will take a little time. Chester Basham hesitated slightly, but quickly replied in the affirmative.
While doing so may require some connections and a lot of money, it's nothing compared to the potential rewards.
After all, there is no rich person who is not afraid of death, especially those cancers that make people feel jealous, painful and hopeless.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many billionaires in the world, vying to serve the parliament, so that they can buy some magical items that can increase lifespan and fight terminal diseases at the auction at the end of the year.
But now, he is lucky to meet an "insider" who can provide this potion, so he naturally wants to tighten the relationship to ensure that he and his relatives can get a small bottle of life-saving potion when they encounter the same situation.
"It's okay, I've always been patient. And I promise that if you can do this, you can always come to me in the future and buy all kinds of magic potions for dollars if you need to......"
In order to make the other party more motivated, Zhang Cheng decisively offered an extremely tempting condition.
As the saying goes, "if you want to take it, you must first take it".
If you just want Mar to run fast and don't give Mar grazing, then you will definitely not get any good results in the end.
He has always been generous to his collaborators, but only if the other party can meet his requirements.
"Three months! three months is enough!" Chester Basham clenched his fists, his eyes glinting strangely.
Can you buy a magic potion that cures all diseases with dollars?
It's a door-to-door package!
He can already imagine how many contacts he can expand in the world of ordinary people if he masters such a resource channel.
Whether it's a Wall Street banker hiding behind the scenes and manipulating global finance, or a black-hearted politician in Washington, D.C., they all choose to owe themselves a favor under the threat of death......
