"Cough", I saw an old man standing on the high platform of the auction coughing loudly. The people below immediately fell silent and looked at the old man on the high platform. Today's protagonist is on stage. What are you talking about? The person on the high platform is the general manager of the Beijing Auction House, who is fully responsible for all aspects of the Beijing Auction House. You want to ask who is the boss of the Beijing Auction House? That is an incredible person—the current Holy Emperor.
"Everyone, today our Beijing Auction House is about to start the most grand annual auction. Today everyone will be happier and more excited than in previous years, because today there are five mysterious treasures, all worth more than 500,000 taels of silver. In addition to In addition, the emperor also gave special instructions today. Today, three lucky guests will be selected from among you. They will be able to choose any treasure among the treasures with a starting price of less than one hundred thousand taels, and the original owner of the selected treasure will receive One hundred thousand taels of silver, and you can also get a yellow mantle given by the emperor." The chief steward loudly told the attendees below about the gift of the emperor.
"Yellow mandarin! If you wear a yellow mandarin, you don't have to be afraid when you meet those officials. It would be great if this yellow mandarin can be sold. I will buy it for one hundred thousand taels." One look and you can tell that he is from the nouveau riche. The fat man said to his friend next to him.
"You only have one hundred thousand taels. I am willing to give up my three years' money to get this yellow mantle. This is a matter of honoring our ancestors!"
…
The chief steward also had a smile on his face. He was also very surprised when he just learned about the emperor's decision. This yellow jacket cannot be bought with money!
I looked at the people outside who were so excited by the current emperor's move. I also began to think that this emperor was quite powerful. Giving him a few yellow jackets had no impact at all, but because of this, everyone was grateful to him. , and the reputation of this auction house will become even greater in the future.
"Everyone, let me announce the list of these three people." The chief manager said loudly, and his voice echoed throughout the venue. It seems that this chief manager is also a martial arts master!
Looking at the participants below who had completely fallen silent, the chief manager continued: "These three people are Li Tianxiang, the eldest son of the Li family who spent the most money on treasures at the auction house this year. They provided the most precious Buddhist treasure - Jade Guanyin. The hero king's shirt, and the provider of today's conference venue, the richest man in the capital - Brother Wan San."
The group of people below are all very angry. Isn't this opportunity for these guys the icing on the cake? Do they still lack this treasure of 100,000 taels? But everyone also knows that there is nothing wrong with the auction house's selection of people. One is the one who spends the most money, and the other One provides Buddhist treasures, and the other provides the venue for today’s conference. What's the use of being angry!
"Okay, now the real theme of today - the annual auction has begun. We invite the famous appraiser - Mr. Wang to preside over today's meeting!" The general manager was full of confidence, and his voice enveloped the entire venue. When everyone looked towards the high platform, There was already an old man in gorgeous clothes standing at the venue.
"Hello everyone, I won't talk nonsense. Today's auction items are all high-quality products, all of which are more than 10,000 taels of silver. First of all, I would like to invite today's first auction item - the greatest smelter of Qinglong Continent, Senior Ouyang, when he was young. The work - Fish Killing Sword, the Fish Killing Sword is shorter. Although it is not a top-notch killing sword, it is definitely the best in the world in terms of being used in the kitchen. The base price is fifteen thousand taels of silver. The bidding starts now!" This king The old gentleman was really straightforward in his work. He started the auction as soon as he came on stage.
"I'll give you 20,000 taels." A lean guy was a little proud there. He added 5,000 taels in a flash. I guess no one would compete with him, and he would be sure of next year's cooking competition.
"I'll pay twenty-one thousand taels." A guy standing not far from him immediately raised his price and looked at the thin man: Next year's cooking competition is still in my pocket.
Everyone looked at these two guys. Everyone knew them. These two guys were the two most famous chefs. It seemed that this thing was in the hands of these two people.
"I have twenty-two thousand taels" "I have twenty-three thousand taels"...
"I want this thing, and my wife will use it to cook for me when I get home!" A middle-aged man walked up to the high platform.
"Oh, it turns out to be the hero Wang Shi. Since Wang Daxia will choose this kitchen treasure, we must give this 'fish-killing sword' to Daxia Wang. I wish the couple Wang Daxia a long life, and Mrs. Wang has She is really lucky to have such a good husband like Mr. Wang!" Mr. Wang was so straightforward at the beginning, but now he said a lot of compliments. He really didn't show his true face!
The hero Wang smiled and seemed very satisfied. After taking the fish-killing sword, he said loudly to the crowd below: "The fourth day of March next year will be the day that my wife and I have been married for 20 years. At that time, I There will be a grand banquet in my hometown of Yangzhou. I hope you will give Wang some face and be sure to be there. Everyone, I will go down first and let the conference continue." This great hero Wang walked off the platform in a very graceful manner. The people below were still praising Wang Daxia's character.
"Brother Wang, who is that Hero Wang? He seems to have a lot of face!" I, a rookie who knows almost nothing about the outside world, asked Brother Wang, who is knowledgeable about the past and present.
"That hero Wang Shi Wang is not an ordinary person. He is a well-known figure in Yangzhou. His family is extremely rich, and this hero Wang is a third-level master, which is the master of the fusion stage mentioned in the young master's secret book. He is both civilized and military, and he is very affectionate with his wife. It was a good talk in the world for a while. Moreover, he is very generous and often helps the down-and-out martial arts people, so he is very popular." Brother Wang explained to me carefully. The main situation of the hero Wang Shiwang.
I nodded. This Wang Shan seemed to be a pretty good person, but I didn't know what he was like inside. I turned my attention to the high platform where the auction items were being auctioned.
…
"Seniors, I, Li Tianxiang, am here to thank the Beijing Auction House for the reward. There is one more thing I want to announce. I will enter the National Martial Arts Academy this year. My Li family will donate two million taels of silver to the National Martial Arts Academy. I will go down first. Come on, let Grandpa Wang preside over the auction." A little boy who looked almost ten years old was very free and easy on the high platform.
"Wow, you are indeed the head of the four great families. You can spend two million taels in one move. You see, the eldest son of the Li family speaks and behaves better than an adult. No wonder the Li family has been the most powerful family for hundreds of years. Ah!" said an old man in brocade clothes in a VIP room.
"Yes, I guess the Li family will be even more powerful in the hands of this kid." Another old man sitting next to him also agreed.
I looked at the young man below - Li Tianxiang, the head of the next generation Li family, and felt a sense of hostility in my heart for no reason.
"Okay, today's auction of ordinary items has been completed. I would like to invite the original owners of the auctioned items that were taken away by the three lucky guests to come on stage. I would like to ask the general manager to come and reward the yellow mantle in person." Our Mr. Wang finally spoke. Today Who are the lucky three guys
"Ah! No way, there are only two people besides the chief manager."
"Who else doesn't want this opportunity? Then give it to me. I paid one hundred thousand taels of silver for this opportunity."
…
"Everyone, I'm sorry. I'm Li Tianchang from Taiyuan. Two of the three selected items are mine, hehe." The taller of the two guys on stage took a step forward and explained to everyone. solved this problem.
"No way, you are so lucky. What kind of shitty luck did you have? I also have two auction items today."
"Stop being like this, it's so annoying when people compare themselves to each other, ugh!"
…
"Excuse me, Chief Manager, can I sell one of the yellow jackets to someone else?" Li Tianchang asked the Chief Manager quietly.
"You can sell it, but the yellow mantle being sold: Firstly, it has no effect and no one will admit it. Secondly, be careful that the emperor accuses you of deceiving the emperor." The chief manager was also angry and funny, and he hadn't met him yet. Such a person actually wants to sell something given by the emperor, and he really wants money at the risk of his life.
"Oh, thank you, Chief Manager, for reminding me, thank you, Chief Manager!" Li Tianchang was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. His whole face turned a little white, and his lips seemed to be dry. He licked his lips with his tongue desperately.
After I reached the golden elixir stage, my hearing and vision have greatly improved. I know this myself, but I didn't expect that in addition to Li Tianchang's conversation, my hearing could also hear the sound of him swallowing saliva desperately. See When I saw Li Tianchang's ugly appearance, even the bad emotions I had just felt when I saw Li Tianxiang disappeared a lot.
When he saw the other guy receiving the yellow jacket, the other guy was very happy, but Li Tianchang didn't smile at all, which made the people below very depressed: This guy didn't even smile at all when he picked up two yellow jackets. We can't take them even if we want to. Arrive. People are so irritating!
Li Tianchang looked at the yellow jacket on his body and the yellow jacket on his hand, but he was a little scared in his heart. He was worried that the chief manager would tell the emperor that he wanted to sell the yellow jacket today. If the emperor got angry, then... he thought about it. Another cold sweat broke out all over his body.
…
It was finally time to step down. On the stage, Li Tianchang begged the chief executive for help. The chief executive promised countless times that he would never tell the emperor about this matter before he was willing to step down.
Mr. Wang walked to the front, looked at the eyes of everyone below and turned to him, smiled with satisfaction, and shouted loudly and excitedly: "Everyone, the real highlight is about to begin, and the five mysterious treasures are here." It’s about to be born! Are you ready, please give me the first treasure—"
