At this time, almost all of the people watching the excitement knew Kong Ming, the second young master of the Kong family. They thought that Kong Ming was going to joke with the thin old man, so they all commented next to him:
"Yes, it's a fair trade, and the one with the highest price gets it! Apart from Young Master Kong, I'm afraid no one can afford the high price of twenty silver coins!"
"You little old man, do you have any eyesight? The man next to you is the famous second young master of the Kong family. Will he take advantage of you?"
"Little old man, if you are able to climb the high branches of the second young master of the Kong family, your ancestors must have burned incense! There is nothing to hesitate about. Let's seal the deal for twenty silver coins!"
"By the way, I'd like to remind you, little old man, that since you shouted 'the highest bidder gets it' and Master Kong Er's bid is the highest in the room, the deal is considered completed. You can't go back on your word, Otherwise, you will break the rules of this auction!"
… …
Listening to the discussions among the people around him, the thin old man really wanted to cry without tears. He finally understood the meaning behind everyone's words: If Kong Ming's bid of twenty silver coins was the highest price in the audience, then the "treasure map" in his hand belonged to Kong Ming.
Looking at the way everyone around them is vying to speak for Young Master Kong, how could someone be ignorant and come out to bid with Young Master Kong
It seems that these twenty silver coins are really a magic obstacle for me today!
In the end, the thin old man could only pitifully extend a hand to Kong Ming and said: "Okay, twenty silver coins are just twenty silver coins. Little old man, I am really unlucky for eight lifetimes today! Who said that the auction will be a A place where it’s easy to make a fortune? Little old man, I lost all my money!!”
The thin old man kept shaking his head and sighing as he spoke. Kong Ming smiled calmly, handed a banknote to the hand of the thin old man, and said: "Sometimes, taking advantage is taking advantage! Sometimes, taking advantage may actually lead to loss! In this world, there are no absolutes, taking advantage and taking advantage Who can tell me clearly about the loss?"
The thin old man took the banknote from Kong Ming's hand, looked at Kong Ming deeply, then sighed and left the auction venue shrinkingly.
Many people watching the excitement burst into laughter, feeling that the appearance of this thin old man was just to add to the laughter. Moreover, the second young master of the Kong family is also very funny. He would rather spend twenty silver coins to make a joke with this skinny old man! Why hadn't I noticed before that the second young master of the Kong family was still such a humorous person
However, among these people watching the excitement, who knows what kind of story twenty silver coins have for Kong Ming and the thin old man
Everyone looked at the thin old man as a joke, but who knew if the thin old man was also laughing at everyone
At least, some people in the auction venue noticed that the thin old man was a little weird, and Mei Lin was one of them!
As an outstanding businessman, Mei Lin cannot say that she is familiar with all the 300 guests attending the auction, but at least she has some impressions. However, this thin old man was obviously not among the 300 guests!
Since the Cuenca City Chamber of Commerce Alliance dared to hold such a large-scale auction, the relevant security measures were naturally implemented to the extreme. If there were outsiders who could sneak in unnoticed, Mei Lin would not believe it. At least, Mei Lin couldn't feel the slightest fluctuation of Yuan Power from this skinny old man. It's unlikely that such a skinny old man could be a hidden powerhouse, right
So, could this thin old man come in with a certain guest? Moreover, looking at the appearance of this thin old man, it is obvious that he has a story with the second young master of the Kong family! Since the appearance of this thin old man did not cause any trouble to the auction, then why bother to inquire about him
As a businessman, when there is no profit, naturally it is better to do less than to do more! Therefore, in Mei Lin's mind, she quickly put aside the matter of the thin old man. What she is most concerned about now is how much profit this auction can bring to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance!
Finally, Cuenca City's annual auction came to a successful conclusion. The Chamber of Commerce Alliance naturally made a lot of money, and the Kong family also became the biggest winner in this auction!
The Kong family, father and son, plus Mo Yue and Qin De, all had smiles on their faces when they walked out of the auction venue. After all, the Kong family took advantage of the auction this time, so what else could they be dissatisfied with
However, what was somewhat unexpected was that when Kong Ming and his party had just left the auction venue, a thin figure blocked their way.
This thin figure was the mysterious thin old man. As for his purpose of stopping Kong Ming, of course it was not to rob him on the road, but to solve a question in his mind!
"Second Young Master! You don't mind when I call you this, do you? There is one thing that I really want to know the truth about! Is that ring really the Ring of Tolia? You pity the little old man. With this body and bone, just tell this little old man the truth!"
Kong Ming smiled slightly, slowly raised his hand, and then, like a magic trick, he took the "treasure map" directly from the storage space in his hand, and then put it back into the storage space. This happened three times in a row, and the thin old man didn't even blink.
After a long time, the thin old man sighed, shook his head and said: "It's really the Ring of Tolia! Why didn't I see it before, little old man? Alas, it's better to be blind with these eyes! The treasure is here But I missed it right in front of my eyes, it’s really a joke!”
After shaking his head and sighing for a long time, the thin old man raised his head and looked at Kong Ming and said: "The second young master is right, whoever suffers will take advantage, it's unclear. In short, if someone suffers, someone will definitely take advantage! If the second young master Master, if you take pity on me, this little old man, you can come and see me at my little old man's residence when you have the chance. By the way, the little old man's name is Eugene, and he lives in the wild forest. The place name is Fenglei Ridge, but not It’s so easy to find. Alas, I don’t know if we will really have the chance to meet again in the future!”
As the thin old man spoke, he turned around and walked away slowly. Looking at his shrinking back, it was quite funny, but Kong Ming had a thoughtful expression.
Obviously, this thin old man is definitely a mysterious figure! Even though he looked weak and incompetent, Kong Ming did not underestimate him at all and kept his appearance firmly in his heart.
Because Kong Ming has a feeling: one day in the future, he will definitely meet this thin old man again!
