Soul Summoner

Chapter 170 Auction

There is only one auction house in Rouge Port. Without background, it is absolutely impossible. The Xiao family is the force behind the scenes. There are two most famous auction houses in the Lufeng Kingdom. One is in the capital of Tancheng, and the other is controlled by the Xiao family. The Rouge Harbor Auction House holds an auction once a week. Relying on the extensive water and land transportation of Rouge Port, it brings together wealthy businessmen and various forces from all over the world. Economic and commercial center, one of the most developed areas in the Lufeng Kingdom, has the reputation of "Tancheng in the north and Rouge Port in the south" since ancient times.

The auction house was full of people. Since Li Si was the seller and the product was alchemy equipment, as soon as he came in, Wei Ye personally presented a beautifully made platinum card. This was a card symbolizing a high-ranking VIP. Under the guidance of a beautiful hostess, Li Si came to the VIP area on the second floor. The seats here are designed to be independent and semi-open. If you don’t check it from the front, no one will know who is sitting on the seat. Who is it, and the VIP area has a special passage to enter and exit. This design fully considers the privacy of VIPs, and it is worthy of being the commercial center and cultural center of the Lufeng Kingdom.

Li Si ate a few delicious fruits. The seats on the first and second floors were almost full. Li Si had keen ears and heard the people sitting next to him whispering about the auction items. Most of them were works of art from all over the world. After a while, their words When the topic turned to the alchemy equipment, Li Si listened carefully. At first he thought he was talking about his four sets of alchemy equipment, but after listening for a while, he realized that he was talking about another one. Li Si was very surprised. The small port turned out to be a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Apart from Nangong Xiao, he had never seen other alchemists. Li Si immediately became very interested, but someone from the seat next to him brought a woman in to flirt, and from time to time a woman's babbling could be heard. Li Si got impatient, walked out, and looked for the seat where he was speaking. In a box on the right side of the front row, two young men looked up at Li Si. One of the young men in blue asked, "Is there anything you want?"

Li Si smiled and said, "I'm really sorry to disturb you two. My name is Sri. I just overheard you two talking about today's auction item. I'm very interested in alchemy equipment. I wonder if I can ask you two for advice."

The young man in blue said displeasedly: "How can you eavesdrop on our conversation? Please go back to your seat." The other young man in gray smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Mr. Grandpa, all the guests here are guests." The young man in clothes stood up and said to Li Si: "My name is Yuan Rong, and his name is Zu Ping. We are businessmen from the Black Flag Kingdom who came to Rouge Port to do business. Brother Sri, if you don't mind, please sit here."

Li Si smiled and said: "I'm really sorry, I'm too abrupt, brother Zuping, brother Yuanrong." He walked into the box, Shi Shiran sat down, and asked: "I'm not from Lufeng, I'm from the Deqing Kingdom I came here to buy a batch of goods, I heard that the auction here is very interesting, so I came to see the excitement, "

Yuan Rong said: "It's not just as simple as watching the fun, the people who can enter the VIP area on the second floor are not ordinary people,"

Li Si chuckled and said, "Where is it? It just so happened that I entrusted the auction house to sell some things, so I can come in. I am just an ordinary businessman."

Zu Ping said: "Oh, do you have something to bid for? What is it?"

Li Si pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "The most important thing about a friend is to be honest. Since I have met each other by fate, I will not pretend to be a joke. In fact, what I took is a few pieces of alchemy equipment."

Both Yuan Rong and Zu Ping were taken aback, and Zu Ping blurted out: "A few pieces,"

"Four sets, a total of twelve pieces, four flame swords, four ice shields, and four flame armors,"

Zu Ping exclaimed: "So many, God, brother Sri, you must be hiding a master alchemist at home, right?"

This question was rather childish, Li Si smiled and came to acquiesce.

Yuan Rong said: "No wonder Brother Sri is interested in alchemy equipment. I don't know what kind of business Brother Sri's family is doing." Suddenly feeling that he asked too abruptly, Yuan Rong smiled and said: "I am a family friend with the grandfather's family. In the Black Flag Kingdom, the business of medicinal materials, grandpa’s family is big, and he is in the food business,” Zu Ping said modestly, “We are nothing, I’m afraid the sum is not as good as Brother Sri’s.”

Li Si waved his hands again and again, and said: "Don't say that, in fact, I'm the one who sees the big witch, let's not hide it from you two, in fact, I don't have a few gold coins left in my pocket, haha..."

Yuan Rong said: "There is no money now, when the auction is over, brother Siri will be the richest person among the three of us,"

After talking nonsense for a while, the auction has already started, Li Si changed the topic to the alchemy equipment they mentioned just now, Yuan Rong said: "We don't actually know what the alchemy equipment is for this auction, I heard it is the alchemy master Jiang Chan Du's works,"

It is said that this Jiang Chan is a descendant of the ancient alchemist Jiang Yazi. Every piece of his work is a treasure. It is said that it has been ten years since he took out his works for public auction, so this auction will be full of seats and overcrowded. Everyone wants to know what Jiang Chandu's ten-year sword work is.

Li Si felt very upset, what the hell is going on here, as soon as I come, you are out of the mountain, what is [-] pieces of equipment, judging by the situation, these people's attention is all on Jiang Chandu , my brother became a foil instead, and my brother was jealous.

There were a lot of flashy luxury goods in the auction, and there were many buyers, but the bidding was not enthusiastic. Many people went for the alchemy artifacts in Jiang Chandu. Yuan Rong and Zu Ping also called He bid several times and bought two not-so-expensive souvenirs. Li Si is now a poor man and can only watch. He has never participated in auctions, whether it is now or before time-traveling. I have seen such scenes in Li, but he has always thought that those rich people who spend a lot of money on boring things are big idiots, but after experiencing it himself, he realized that this is actually more like a battle, a competition for financial resources No one wants to lose face. If you don’t buy anything, you will feel that everyone who looks at you despises you. Rich people are not fools. They are not buying things, but dignity.

But, fuck your dignity, Li Si's pockets are empty, and he almost wants to wake up Xue Yan to rob him.

"The following is one of the highlights of tonight." Wei Ye looked around the guests elegantly, and said with a tantalizing voice: "This is an auction item that has not appeared in our Rouge Harbor Auction House for a long time. It is of great practical value." Treasures of Gao, the coming of the sky orbit era, I believe that everyone here is very concerned about their own safety, and these few auction items can just solve everyone's worries. Next, I won't talk nonsense, first please two strong The samurai came up to demonstrate for everyone, "

Li Si knew that he was introducing his auction item, and he was dissatisfied with today's arrangement to a certain extent, which clearly meant that he had a collision with Jiang Chan.

"These four sets of alchemy equipment come from a foreign alchemist. Although he is not as famous as Master Jiang Chandu, he is definitely an alchemist with the most potential. His future achievements are limitless. I believe that as long as this young In time, Master will definitely be the successor of Master Jiang Chandu."

Blow, blow to your heart's content, Li Si rolled his eyes again and again.

"The starting price of each of these four sets of precious alchemy equipment is 1 gold coins. Everyone is welcome to bid enthusiastically,"

The starting price for a single piece is [-] gold coins, and the three pieces add up to make a set, which is indeed much more expensive. Li Si nodded secretly, smiled at Yuan Rong and Zu Ping, and said, "This is the item for the next auction. It makes you laugh."

Yuan Rong and Zu Ping looked at each other, Zu Ping said with a chuckle: "Brother Sri, we have a very unfeeling request..." This kid looks like a second-generation ancestor at first glance, but he still has such a cowardly side, Li Si couldn't help being amused, and said: "Please tell me, as long as I can help, I will definitely not shirk."

Zu Ping smirked and said: "Actually, we also want some alchemy equipment, if Brother Sri can trade some with us privately..."

It turned out to be the back door.

Yuan Rong said: "Brother Sri, we won't let you suffer." He lowered his voice and said, "Actually, the auction house charges a handling fee of [-]%. In fact, we can save the money. Come down, we will give Brother Sri a good price, we will pay whatever the transaction price is later, what do you think,"

As expected of a business family, this little calculation is really good, Li Si smiled boldly: "I thought it was something, this kind of trivial matter is not a big deal at all, how about it, I will charge you half of the transaction price later, They're all friends, there's nothing to talk about, it's all on me."

Yuan Rong and Zu Ping were overjoyed, almost jumped up with joy, half price, what is that concept, this is not half price of a piece of candy, but alchemy equipment, a three-piece alchemy equipment cost [-] to [-] gold coins, Half the price... If you sell it, you will make a fortune if you resell it.

Yuan Rong said gratefully: "Brother Sri, how can this be possible? This is not good. How can we get such a low price? How can we feel sorry for it?"

Li Si smiled and said, "It's about making friends. Friends don't care about these extraneous things, right? How many sets do you want?"

Yuan Rong was so happy that his heart almost jumped out. He tried to calm down his ecstasy, thought for a while, and said, "Fifty sets,"

Li Si was tongue-tied, five...fifty sets, you can kill me, you don’t have to be so dark, this is not going to kill me, these two laymen, don’t they think that alchemy equipment can be mass-produced, right? Flame sword and Li Si is familiar with the flame armor. Li Si can forge three sets of these two pieces of equipment in one day. The ice shield is just for fun. It will take a lot of time. It will take 20 days to finish refining.

Seeing Li Si's horrified expression, Yuan Rong hurriedly said, "Brother Sri, don't get me wrong. We are not trying to make trouble for Brother Sri. We understand that it is already a special favor to give us half price for one set and two sets. Such a large quantity , we can't have the cheek to ask Brother Sri for this price, since we are friends, we will definitely not embarrass Brother Sri, we will still pay the original price, "

Li Si laughed and said: "You guys misunderstood, I didn't mean that, what troubles me is, with such a large quantity, I have to be busy for a whole month, there are too many, I'm going to be exhausted, how about this, Now that I have the flame sword and flame armor, the ice shield is dispensable, if I don’t make the ice shield, I might be able to deliver it in half a month, what do you think?”

Zu Ping suddenly covered his mouth, and said in horror: "You...you mean...you are...a alchemist,"

Yuan Rong also came to his senses and was speechless.

Li Si chuckled and said, "Why, don't I look like that?"

At this time, the people at the auction were no longer satisfied with bidding for one set, and someone offered 20 gold coins to buy them all, and then, it was quickly raised to 25 gold coins. At this price, there are already many people who are not financially strong The guests withdrew from the competition, and the number of bidders gradually decreased. At the time of 26 gold coins, someone suddenly shouted: "32,"

The audience fell into silence, and almost everyone came out of the boxes. After seeing the bidder, even those who wanted to raise the price retreated. That person was none other than Xiao Clan's six Elder Xiao Tianshun,
