Chapter 350 Buy It Back
After seeing the price of this bottle of genuine special drink being raised to an unbelievable level, Xiao Zhen couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity as if she was being teased by fate.
The fragrant fruit juice that he had worked so hard to grow, which was once a slow-selling product with no one interested in it, has now transformed into a high-priced treasure sought after by many wealthy interstellar collectors. The current situation is really unbelievable to him.
Captain Madara exclaimed in a strange voice: "Wow!"
“…”
"Let me see, isn't this someone's slow-selling product? How much is it now?" Captain Madara flapped his wings and jumped in front of the image. "Tsk tsk, the starting bid is three million credits. Three million. Let me think about how much someone sold a bottle for, 15 or 1,500?"
Xiao Zhen pinched Captain Ban's chicken mouth with a slap, and turned to ask Mr. Cat: "What about that Mansfield's favorite drink?"
"How should I know?"
Xiao Zhen stared at Mr. Cat. Mr. Cat asked, "Does anyone have any stock?"
"No more, not a single bottle left!" Xiao Zhen said hatefully.
"hehe."
Liu Xingquan, who was standing by, was confused. After Xiao Zhen's brief explanation, he looked surprised and asked, "Is this the drink you made?"
"Well, God knows how it got to this price."
"Since you made it, just make another bottle." Liu Xingquan said. Ren Anzhi nodded.
Xiao Zhen shook his head. He told him that in this auction of the collectors' world, all the items have been tested and certified by experts, with certificates issued by the guild and special marks on the body. Xiao Zhen has no raw materials on hand now. Even if he immediately purchases the finished scented fruit or has enough time to replant the scented fruit, it is impossible for the real selected special drink to be exactly the same as the previous batch, not to mention forging a perfect identification mark of the collectors. And the key person who has the information about the bounty hunter obviously only has the target of this auction item. Sometimes the auction item itself is not important. What is important is that it has gone through the auction process, which is the embodiment of its value.
"That's right." The informant twisted his forelimbs. "That gentleman only wants this item at the auction. In his heart, only this item can be compared with the kindness he once showed and the afterglow of the sunset. I'm sorry to humiliate you from the alien planet."
Xiao Zhen thought that the Xiyiqi people must have other ways of understanding the word humiliation, but he didn't have the heart to delve into it now.
"As long as I can get this bottle of drink, I can make him relax?"
"Yes, yes. That's right." The informant began to babble on about adjectives like sunset grace.
Captain Ban said: "It seems that you can only find a way to buy back your special drink, and buy it back at a high price."
"..." Xiao Zhen admitted that this was the only option left at the moment.
Captain Madara let out a strange and noisy laugh.
Xiaozhen really wants to eat chicken tonight.
…
…
"Borrow money?"
"Yes, I need some small funds here." Facing Duke Jill on the screen, Xiao Zhen politely considered her words, "to bid for the target item."
"No."
"Think about it again!" Xiao Zhen said, "This is a very worthwhile investment!"
"Don't think about it." In the flickering 3D image, one could vaguely see the frosty expression of the Duke of Xilin. "I already know that you will be participating in the recent auction of the Trade Winds Auction House. I hate the Trade Winds Auction House, so don't even think about borrowing my money and throwing it on the territory of my enemy."
"Enemy?"
"No." The screen disappeared. Duke Gil cut off the communication with a straightforward attitude. The big money sponsor that Xiao Zhen could rely on at the moment ruthlessly rejected him. Speaking of which, Duke Gil had not acted with them since they got off the ship. From what they said, the relationship between the local auction house and the Luoya forces represented by Duke Gil was quite tense. This was probably one of the reasons why Duke Gil asked to conceal his identity from the beginning.
Xiao Zhen quickly turned his head to look at Mr. Cat. His tone slowed down, his eyes sparkling, "Mr. Cat..."
"No." Mr. Cat answered simply.
"I haven't said it yet!"
"The Overwatch Eye doesn't have the budget for this." Mr. Cat narrowed his eyes, "Please solve it yourself."
"..." Xiao Zhen lowered her voice, "You really don't want to lend it to me?"
"The Eye of Supervision is not my personal vault." Mr. Cat said, "No loan."
“…”
After being rejected by two sponsors in a row, Xiao Zhen silently calculated his existing funds. He still had to thank a certain Xilin noble. Duke Jill was very generous after boarding the ship, and paid the promised travel expenses of 3 million and confidentiality fees of 1.5 million credits, which was also the largest amount of funds Xiao Zhen currently held. The Zejin has been trading routes for some time, and there are about 200,000 liquid funds on the books. In addition, the Star Network account he opened in the name of Yan Zhen currently has more than 200,000 credits. In this way, he has about 5 million credits in cash. This amount of money is a huge sum of money that any citizen of the Interstellar Federation can enjoy for a lifetime.
But to be honest, it would be a bit difficult to use this money to go to the rich man's playground and spend huge sums of money to bid for items with those princes, nobles and alien tycoons.
Especially an item with a starting price of three million.
That piece of junk juice actually costs three million, are you kidding me? Xiao Zhen angrily belittled her past achievements, but the only legal way to get clues about the bounty hunter was to buy it back at an auction at a high price. This kind of thing was so stupid just thinking about it.
Liu Xingquan was very uncomfortable, and his heart was filled with anxiety and guilt. Xiaozhen was busy running around for him, and now it seemed that she might even have to pay a huge sum of money. When he came to Xiaozhen and tried to persuade her not to do this, Xiaozhen patted his shoulder. He said, "Let's go to the auction and take a look!!"
"Yan Zhen, this price is too expensive no matter how you look at it."
"If he hadn't come here to retrieve the bounty hunter, Duke Gil wouldn't have boarded our ship, and I wouldn't have received this huge sum of money. This was originally a windfall because of you." Xiao Zhen smiled, "There's nothing wrong with using the money back now."
“…”
"Don't worry!" Xiao Zhen said, "Let's go to the auction venue first!"
Liu Xingquan looked at his friend's lively face and nodded.
The starting bid is three million, and I still have about two million to spare, Xiaozhen thought to herself, hoping that there would be fewer idiot tycoons bidding for this bottle of junk juice.
