Treasures with a starting price of one hundred thousand gold coins are indeed eligible to participate in the "Ten Thousand Treasures Club". Moreover, if the Alchemy Book put up for auction this time is really a forged book passed down by Master Tie, then the price of 100,000 gold coins can even be said to be a low price!
Who is Iron Master? That was the forging master from a thousand years ago! Even a thousand years later, whenever people mention the profession of blacksmith, they will still recommend Master Tie as the number one in Liangzhou! As for the items forged by Master Tie during his lifetime, almost none of them were inferior to the quality of Yuan Weapon Spiritual Weapons. There were even several very famous top-level Yuan Weapon Spirit Weapons that were made by Master Tie!
It is said that Master Tie was not recruited by any wealthy family at that time. He only liked to live alone and had a very eccentric personality. Anyone who wanted to ask him to forge must bring their own materials, and the items he forged would also require Can interest Iron Master. It can be said that as long as you make Master Tie feel interested, he will forge it. Otherwise, even if there is a mountain of gold piled in front of him, he will never be able to invite this master.
Since the death of Master Tie, there has never been a forger as skilled as him in Liangzhou, and there is no news that Master Tie is still alive. Now a forged book inherited from Master Iron suddenly appears, which is really surprising, but as long as this forged book is authentic, it can indeed be called a treasure!
With the goodwill of "Changlong", since we are sure that this forged book inherited from Master Tie is authentic, then it must be authentic! And such a treasure actually appeared at the current auction. For everyone who participated in this dark auction, it was really an unexpected surprise.
Kong Ming's heart moved slightly, and he finally understood that Ji Honggao specially invited him to participate in this secret auction, probably because he wanted to use this forged book as bait to do some tricks secretly.
In Kong Ming's view, Ji Honggao had no reason to deal with him. Even if Ji Honggao wanted to plot against him, he was probably entrusted by someone else!
So, who would want to plot against Kong Ming
At this moment, a figure of a woman disguised as a man appeared in Kong Ming's mind, and the slippery feeling of grabbing her seemed to still remain on his fingertips!
If there is really someone who can ask Ji Honggao to deal with him, maybe it is the female think tank of the Cao family - Cao Jun'e!
Kong Ming could tell that there must be an unusual relationship between Ji Honggao and Cao Jun'e. As long as Cao Jun'e comes forward, there will definitely be a way to make Ji Honggao ignore the overall situation and help the Kong Ming scheme even if he doesn't hesitate to offend the Kong family. Otherwise, as a businessman, Ji Honggao, what reason would he have to be an enemy of Kong Ming
Now it seems that this Cao Jun'e really has extremely powerful methods. In order to scheme against Kong Ming, he can even take out Master Tie's forged book!
When Kong Ming was in Cuenca City, he bought the Nine Yang Fire Pond at a high price, and the first battle in which he became famous was when he borrowed the Yuan Rong Crossbow of Yuan Bing quality to defeat Cao Pojun, the third son of Cao Cao, and fled in embarrassment. With Cao Jun'e's wisdom, if she couldn't see that Kong Ming had a deep connection with Zhuo Zao, she wouldn't be the female think tank of the Cao family.
Master Tie is the most famous blacksmith in Liangzhou for thousands of years, and his ancestral home is in Karasuma County. Wuwan County has always been famous for its rich production of ironware, and only in such an environment can it be possible to cultivate the best blacksmith in Liangzhou!
With the power of the Cao family in Karasuma County, as long as the iron master has the book of forging passed down and is in Karasuma County, it will naturally fall into the hands of the Cao family. Now, Cao Jun'e most likely borrowed Ji Honggao's help and used Master Tie's forged book as bait to plot against Kong Ming. As for what Cao Jun'e will do specifically, it depends on what happens next. But no matter what, as long as this Master Iron Forging Book is true, Kong Ming has no reason to let it go!
Since Cao Jun'e is willing to hand over the forged book with both hands, why should Kong Ming be polite
As the saying goes, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree! Master Tie's reputation in forging is indeed well-known in Liangzhou. Now that he heard that his forging book appeared in this auction, everyone was naturally excited.
The starting price of 100,000 gold coins is indeed not cheap, but what kind of person is Iron Master? How can the forged book he passed down be measured in money? Anyone who can afford the price will never let go of such an opportunity.
The ensuing bidding scene can be described as a raging crowd. Without the auctioneer using any means to heat up the atmosphere, the bids continued to rise, and soon reached the price of 200,000 gold coins. After reaching this price, there were not many people who could afford to bid. However, the temptation of this forged book was too great, and the price continued to rise, but the growth rate slowed down.
Kong Ming watched the good show for a long time, and finally smiled at Mo Yue and nodded.
Mo Yue knew her young master's ability in the art of forging, and had long been eager to take a photo of this book of forging as a gift to the young master. Now that he saw the young master's approval, he immediately reported it without ceremony. A new price: "Three hundred thousand gold coins!"
At this time, the price of the Forged Book had just been raised to about 240,000 gold coins. As soon as Mo Yue came up, he quoted a price of 300,000 gold coins, which immediately made most people in the audience gasp.
The value of the forged book inherited from Master Tie is definitely more than 300,000 gold coins. Even if it is described as a priceless treasure, it is not an exaggeration. However, how many people can actually make three hundred thousand gold coins in one go
Now many people have begun to speculate, what is the origin of the guest in Private Room No. 1? Judging from the limelight he gained tonight, how could he have such strong financial resources if he did not come from a top wealthy family
Normally, in this case, most people would choose to give up, but Master Iron's Forged Book was so tempting that some people were still unwilling to miss it and raised the price by another five thousand gold coins.
At this time, Mo Yue showed her smart side, and she slowly reported a new price: "Three hundred and five thousand and one gold coins!"
After hearing this, Kong Ming smiled slightly and extended his thumb to Mo Yue to praise Mo Yue for indeed mastering the essence of the auction! As for Mo Yue, her smile is as bright as a flower. For her, what could be more satisfying than receiving praise from the young master
It can be said that once the price of Mo Yue was announced, no one was willing to bid.
It is already known to everyone that the guests in Private Room No. 1 have strong financial resources, and they have raised the auction price to 300,000 gold coins in one go, which shows that they are determined to win. Although some people were unwilling to do so and raised the price again. But then, the new price quoted by the guest in Private Room No. 1 only increased by one gold coin.
This quotation once again shows the attitude of being determined to win! That is, no matter how much someone bids, I will add a gold coin. If you are not afraid of completely offending me, just compete with me to see who has stronger financial resources!
Once such an attitude is expressed, unless they want to form a deadly feud, who else is willing to continue bidding
The auctioneer was very satisfied to be able to sell the Forged Book at a high price of more than 300,000 gold coins. Seeing that no one continued to bid, the auctioneer immediately waved the auction hammer in his hand and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the guest in Private Room No. 1 for purchasing the forged book inherited from Master Iron for a price of 305,001 gold coins! Can we just announce that today's Biao King has been born? "
No one raised any objection to the auctioneer's statement. After all, this dark auction was not a "Ten Thousand Treasures Fair". A price of more than 300,000 gold coins was already a sky-high price. How could we expect a second auction? Can’t do it twice
Although a few more items were auctioned next, they could no longer create a climax in the venue. Most of them were just a few rounds of hurried bidding and the final deal was completed. However, this time the dark auction was quite impressive, and not a single item failed to sell from the beginning to the end.
After the auction ended, Kong Ming did not leave in a hurry, but waited quietly in the private room. Sure enough, after a while, there was a knock on the door outside the private room, and Ji Honggao's voice also rang out: "Congratulations, Mr. Kong Er, on your great success in this auction. I have escorted the auction items here and returned them." Please check it, Second Young Master."
Kong Ming signaled Lei Ming to open the door, and then laughed and said: "Brother Ji, why are you and I so indifferent? Don't I, Kong Ming, have the right to be brothers with Brother Ji?"
Ji Honggao's figure soon appeared in the private room, and he also laughed loudly and said: "Brother Kong Ming is joking, Brother Yu is really embarrassed. This time, I also want to thank you for your generosity, brother, which made Brother Yu make a small profit again." One stroke.”
Kong Ming continued to laugh and said: "As long as it's what you want, what does it matter if you spend a little money? By the way, since this is a secret auction, no one else will know about my identity. Bar?"
Ji Honggao remained calm and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Kong Ming, isn't our 'Changlong' brand still worthy of your trust?"
Kong Ming smiled "hehe" and said: "Trust is trust, but what I am most afraid of is getting into trouble! To put it bluntly, if someone brings trouble to me, then I will definitely make it difficult for him! Haha, This kind of little character who is determined to retaliate is really going to make Brother Ji laugh."
Having said this, Kong Ming looked at Ji Honggao with a profound expression, but Ji Honggao was still calm and said without any strange expression: "Brother Kong Ming, what do you have to worry about? In this imperial capital, Who else dares to offend your Kong family?"
