CHAPTER XVI
"Everyone, be quiet! Everyone, be quiet! A middle-aged chubby man said loudly.
The hall slowly fell silent.
"Today, we have invited Miss Wan Na, a famous auctioneer from Wanguan Commercial Bank, to preside over this auction in person. Everyone is welcome! The middle-aged man said.
"This middle-aged man is Feng Zihao, the most powerful merchant of the Guanhai tribe, and this Wan Na he invited is the most powerful auctioneer on this continent, she is not terrible, what is terrible is the Wanguan Trading House behind her, it is said that the power of this trading house can compete with any medium-sized country." Zixi whispered.
Amid the cheers, Wanna walked to the middle of the stage. This Wanna is really good-looking, has a good figure, and walks gracefully.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are a total of twenty items in the auction today, and you can be optimistic about it, as long as this gavel in my hand rings this gong and drum. Then the object on the table belongs to the bidder. As long as this gavel does not ring this gong and drum, everyone can continue to increase the price! You get the idea. Wanna's voice was not loud, but she could be heard clearly from all corners of the auction room.
So someone on the side said loudly: "I understand, click to start!" ”
"Is there anything you don't understand?" Wanna asked again, and when she saw that no one spoke, she said, "Okay! The auction starts now! ”
As soon as Wanna's words were finished, two fiery dressed women came up carrying a plate covered with red silk and placed it on the table on the table.
Wanna stretched out her hand to uncover the red silk, and a golden light immediately appeared in the entire auction hall.
"The first treasure was an attic made of pure gold unearthed in the Tatura Desert. This golden attic is carved in the same proportions as the legendary first building in the world: Zicheng Pavilion. This golden attic is about a foot long, about a foot high. It weighs more than ten pounds. The carving is exquisite! The starting price for this golden loft is five hundred taels of gold! Wanna said.
These ten catties of gold is one hundred taels, plus the exquisite carving of this gold pavilion, and it is carved according to the Zicheng Pavilion, which is the place where the royal family of the Middle East Sea Kingdom has hidden treasures, and it is seven stories high. The East China Sea Kingdom is still very old, and now there is a carving made of pure gold, which is naturally very valuable. So soon the price of this golden pavilion reached the price of two thousand taels of gold, and it is still soaring!
It seems that the collection at this auction is good, and such a valuable item appeared in the first place!
In the end, this model of Zicheng Pavilion made of gold was obtained by Gu Xiye, the king of Shuoyang from the royal city, at a price of 2,500 taels of gold.
The crowd was envious.
"This King of Shuoyang usually likes to collect, and he is old, and he will not ask to marry a little princess, so he attaches so much importance to this golden pavilion!" The man next door looked at Wen Bufan and said.
"Oh, I see, but I wonder if Your Excellency has taken a fancy to that treasure again?" Wen Bufan asked.
At this time, Gu Xiye, the king of Shuoyang, really led the crowd out of their seats, and they were no longer looking at the remaining treasures.
"Just left?" Wen Bufan couldn't help but say.
"This is the style of the Shuoyang King Gu Xiye, he is still not interested in the rest of the things, so why stay and waste time, it is better to go back and appreciate this treasure that he just gotten." The man said.
"Your Excellency has not yet answered my question, I wonder if you are here for that treasure?" Wen Bufan asked again.
"Come out, you'll know. When the time comes, I hope not to compete with Zaixia. The man said.
At this time, the two girls dressed in heat brought the second auction item to the stage.
"This second lot is a painting." As Wanna spoke, the two girls opened the painting.
Wan Na continued: "This painting is treasured in the palace of the former Donglai Kingdom, and it is from the hand of Master Yuan Guzi, a famous painting master of the previous generation. As we all know, Master Yuan Guzi is good at changing landscapes and characters. However, among the paintings that have been circulated in the world, most of them are landscape paintings, figure paintings are very rare, and the pictures of ladies are even rarer, and the painting we are auctioning today is a picture of a lady from the hands of Master Yuan Guzi! The starting price of this picture of a lady is fifty taels of gold! ”
"Is this really the stuff of the royal family of Donglai?" Wen Bufan asked in a low voice.
"Yes, this picture was originally stored in the royal family's library." Zixi said.
"Do you want it?" Wen Bufan said.
"It doesn't matter." Zixi said.
This picture of a lady from Master Yuan Guzi did not arouse any interest from the auctioneers present, and no one shouted for the bid. Wen Bufan thought to himself, the owner of this lady picture doesn't know what he's thinking, you auction a famous painting of a master in this place where you hunt and graze for a living, isn't this a pearl secret investment?
Still smiling, Wanna looked at the people in the hall and said, "Didn't anyone bid for this painting?" ”
After a while, there was still no one talking.
With a wave of her hand, the two girls put the painting away and prepared to go down. Just when the two girls hadn't left, Wen Bufan shouted: "Fifty taels of gold, I want it!" ”
Wan Na looked at Wen Bufan with a smile and said, "Okay, this son bid fifty taels of gold, is there anyone else bidding?" ”
Wanna shouted three times in a row, but no one spoke. With a crisp gong sound, the famous painting that could be sold for a sky-high price in Wen Bufan's original world was pocketed by Wen Bufan.
Then a girl sent the painting to Wen Bufan's private room and took Wen Bufan's fifty taels of gold.
Wen Bufan admired this famous painting, although he didn't understand it very well, but he also felt that this painting was good.
"Congratulations to Brother Tai, I got what I liked, I didn't expect Brother Tai to be a person who likes elegance." The man next door spoke again.
"Thank you, thank you, I just understand a little!" Wen Bufan said: "This painting is really good. ”
At this time, the third lot was brought to the auction table.
"This is a set of gold soft scale armor, made of more than three hundred gold flakes, much stronger than ordinary armor, but only one-third of the weight of ordinary armor! The auction price for this armor was five hundred taels of gold! Wanna said.
"This armor is actually the same price as the golden attic." Wen Bufan said.
"In the eyes of those who have been fighting all year round, this golden soft scale armor is definitely much more valuable than an object that can only be enjoyed, but most of those who can afford this armor here today have to keep their financial resources to buy the treasure that can be used as a dowry." The man next door said again.
"Aren't there those who don't ask for marriage?" Wen Bufan said.
