That night, Alexander chatted late. By the end, he was already slightly drunk. To tell the truth, Dip admired Alexander's ideals so much that he even called him "Teacher!" a few times sincerely. For Alexander, he lacked nothing in money and status, but still maintained a pure heart. It's just to make magic items affordable for ordinary people.

And in Alexander's words, he also inadvertently revealed: "As long as the price of magic crystals and magic bricks is less than ten gold coins, magic items can be promoted throughout the continent, and if they are close to one gold coin, they can basically be popularized." ”

This made the Huangyan Waterfall Khan at the end of Dipu! Listening to the meaning of his words, you should already know about the new invention of Temo. So when Dipu took Qiu Min to the auction the next day, he still felt a little weak.

Why is his heart weak? Because Dipu's motive for participating in the auction is to make money.

There are so many auctions in St. Louis that they happen every day. Of course, the highlight is the big auctions in summer and winter, but the small auctions that take place every day also have a lot to look up for.

The one that Dipu went to was mainly engaged in bankruptcy auctions. Auctions of collateral from banks are often held. As a "super VIP" of the bank group, the "Auction Catalogue" is sent by a special person from the bank every week. Originally, Dip was not interested, but a letter from Temo and Briss made him change his mind.

In the letter, Temo and the two of them solemnly proposed that the experiment was successful and that they were ready for trial production. However, there are two points worth noting now - one is that a large-scale need for Empty Magic Bricks will definitely cause a shortage of Empty Magic Bricks. The second is that after testing, there is a kind of magic material called "Liang Copper" that is very cost-effective, which can completely replace the universal magic material, and it is particularly precious Mithril.

And the raw materials of the empty magic brick can completely come from the abandoned magic crystal slag mine. As for copper, it is more common on the continent, and it has little magical use, and is an associated mineral for many mineral deposits. It's all not worth much. However, sooner or later, their invention will be made public. The prices of these two deposits are also sure to skyrocket. So Temo and the others suggested that the first strike should be stronger.

It has to be said that although Temo also inherited some of Alexander's ideas, he was essentially the same as Dipp, who was very fond of taking advantage. And after Dip received the letter. But I found some suitable targets in that "Auction Catalog". In order not to attract the attention of others, he had already secretly auctioned several mineral deposits, and only spent a few hundred thousand gold coins in total.

And today, there is a dilapidated aristocratic ancestral property packaged and auctioned, and among them are several large abandoned mines. And the location is also very suitable, suitable for opening a workshop for making empty magic bricks and a workshop for refining beautiful copper, and the transportation is also very convenient, so Dipu is already determined to win.

......

It is impossible for such a small auction to be angry. The participants were all here to pick up bargains. In fact, when the lots before the auction are exhibited, they are all marked with a price, and if you wish, you can buy them on the spot without having to participate in the auction. It's nothing more than the concealment that Dipu wants to do, and he must go through the auction process.

Therefore, there is no need to keep the identity of such an auction secret. The process was similarly uneventful. Dipu made a few moves at will to hide his true goal, and finally bought the ancestral mansion, manor, three abandoned mines, more than a dozen hills and forests, and the mining rights of this place for more than two million gold coins.

And the auction is also very good at business, and it is to divide and auction the property of the ruined noble. So I auctioned off some furniture, antiques, paintings, and then some heirloom jewelry. And as soon as she saw the jewelry, Qiu Min, who participated in the auction for the first time, her eyes lit up.

"Like what. Shoot whatever you want, count me as you'll give it. Dipu said to Qiu Min with a smile.

"Hmm!" Qiu Min nodded, but suddenly, she was coquettish. "No, I want you to buy it and give it to someone!"

Dipu shook his head with a smile and took Qiu Min's arm to continue the auction. At this time, a pearl necklace was displayed on the stage, and it was a very rare black pearl, which immediately attracted Qiu Min.

"What? You like?"

"Hmm!"

While the two were talking, the auctioneer introduced the necklace: "This necklace called 'Black Sea Princess'. Designed by ....... Okay, the low price is 100,000, and the price must not be less than 2,000 each time. Let's go!"

"Two hundred thousand!" In fact, Dipu didn't know any auction skills at all, so his method was very simple and rude, that is, to smash it with money to show that he was determined to win.

"Two hundred and one thousand!" someone on the other side shouted the same price.

Dipu glanced at the man, a personable young man in his thirties. Feeling Dipu looking at him, the man bowed slightly to Dipu with an elegant posture and a strong aristocratic spirit, with an apologetic smile on his face.

"Twenty-five...... Huh?" Dipu shouted as he felt Qiu Min pull him, "What's wrong?"

"Two hundred and sixty thousand!" the man continued to nod to Dip.

Qiu Min on the side whispered in Dipu's ear: "He is the official of the Management Department, and he is a very good person." Let's stop arguing, let's buy the rest, shall we?"

"Hehehe!" Dipu snapped. It doesn't matter if the necklace is gained or lost, since Qiu Min has given up, then ...... Give that official a face!

"The first time, 260,000!", "The second ......", "The third time!", the hammer was final, and the official successfully bought the necklace. He stood up, smiled and bowed to Dipp.

The auction continued, and the scene was peaceful. Dipu also bought a few pieces of jewelry for Qiu Min, and the others also had their own income. When it was over, the official smiled and stretched out his hand: "It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency Dip! My name is Lucien!"

"Hello, Lord Lucien! it's a pleasure to meet you!" said Dip, smiling and shaking his hand.

Then, Lucien graciously raised Qiu Min's right hand and kissed the hand: "Beautiful lady, I'm sorry to take away your beloved thing." ”

"Nothing. Qiu Min also lifted her skirt, and then she glanced at Dipu, "Actually...... I'm already happy. ”

"The virtuous couple are really affectionate!"

"Prizes, prizes!"

"If you have any inconveniences in life, then please come to me and I will try to solve it. ”

"Thank you so much!"

......

As soon as Lucien left, Jerome came over with a smile. In this auction house, there are also shares of the Zhiju Sword Firm: "Your Excellency Dipu! Mrs. Dipu! I heard that you are happy to move in, and the contemptible people have prepared a small gift, and it has been sent to your carriage outside. There are some bargains in this auction, but there are always not many things. If you need anything, please contact us with Childcare Sword. You are our regular customer now, it must be the best price. ”

Dipu said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that we don't have any money? Don't forget, I still owe you a lot of debt." ”

"Hahaha, joke. Jerome smiled and winked at Dipp, "News has been delivered that the first batch of Burst Arrows in your Black Eye Collar has been shipped to the Empire." The second batch will also be produced soon. Why? Can you reveal some inside information? Why are there so many alchemists in your territory? Also, it seems that there are a lot of magic bricks in the Tello Kingdom, and the amount is very large, and I heard that it is also from your Black Eye Collar and several nearby territories. Your Excellency Dip, if you have money, let's make money together! We can fully cooperate. Money is not an issue. ”

"Lie down!" Dipu cursed in his heart. It seems that as long as they are profiteers, their dogs' noses are all very smart! So Dipu laughed and said, "Let's talk about it then! Anyway, those hundreds of millions of gold coins have already broken my muscles and bones." Really need money and will definitely come to you. ”

"That's it!" Jerome smirked, "I still have two abandoned magic crystal slag mines here, so let's invest in you! How?"

"Say it again!" Dipu didn't bother to entangle with Jerome. If he talks too much, he may see something strange.

"Then it's decided?"

"Good. We're leaving!"

"Hehe, then I wish you and Madame a good time. ”

......

After bidding farewell to Dipp, Jerome did not return to the auction house. He got into his carriage and went to a manor house outside the city that belonged to the Duke of Tyne's family. A maid lured Jerome in and met the young master of the Duke of Tyne's family, one of the three sons of Fate.

Seeing Jerome coming, Hidehito lowered his eyebrows and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Jerome bent down deeply: "Young master, my subordinates always feel that these days, the black-eyed viscount's lot is a little strange, and he always goes to buy some scrap mines." Later, he looked at the scrap ore he bought, and it was possible that he wanted to make magic bricks. The subordinates took matters into their own hands and took two waste mines at home to cooperate with him, and tried it first. ”

"Well, well done!" Hidehito nodded, "You can make your own decisions about such a trivial matter! ”

"Young Master!" Jerome suggested, "My subordinates have already tried and want to buy some Burst Arrows." But the black-eyed viscount hasn't let go, are we going to card him in the funds?"

Xiuren smiled and waved his hand: "There's no need. It's not good to get noticed. But that man was lucky enough to pick up so many animal bones for nothing?"

"Isn't it all earned by you, young master?" Jerome complimented with a smile, "Didn't you borrow money from us in the end?"

"Hahaha-!" Xiuren laughed triumphantly, "Leave him alone, it's just a small character." This year's earnings are good, thanks to a few of you. ”

"Yes, that's what subordinates should do. (To be continued.) )
