Main Volume Chapter 184 I Don't Want to Cause Trouble (Kill Them All)
"I offer 1,600 ingots of gold!"
"I offer 1,700 ingots of gold!"
"I'll give you two thousand ingots of gold!"
…
Suddenly, the rich man kept shouting and bidding various prices, which scared those who were unaware of the situation.
What are we going to do today?
Although the item being auctioned is a mysterious stone, there is no need to be so ruthless. Why not just bid up to more than two thousand gold bars?
In the past, there were only more than 500 gold ingots at most!
This quadrupled in one breath!
Which sucker would continue to raise the price?
However, they underestimated Zhang Yun's determination to obtain the mysterious stone, and also underestimated the amount of gold coins in Zhang Yun's backpack.
Zhang Yun slowly raised the sign again: "Three thousand ingots of gold!"
Everyone: “…”
No, brother, why did you jump up another thousand gold?
Did this money really come from the wind?
Don’t you feel sorry?
However, in the eyes of another group of people, that is...
"Oh, you raised the price by one thousand gold ingots without hesitation. It's really the Apocalypse Stone!" The owner of another suspended private room waved his hand and said, "Ah Wei, go back and tell my father to prepare 10,000 gold ingots. I must buy this mysterious stone today!"
At the same time, the hostess in another suspended private room also waved her hand and said, "Keep raising the price. The starting price is 5,000 gold ingots, and there is no upper limit. We must get this Apocalypse Stone today!"
Sitting in the normal ordinary seats was a leader from Southeast Asia who came to travel to the imperial capital of Daxia. He had hundreds of gold mines at home and was not short of money at all.
He had no intention of buying anything, he just came to the treasure appraisal meeting to take a look around and see what treasures Da Xia had. He didn't expect to meet Zhang Yun, a super rich man who raised the price crazily.
Yo huh?
There is someone more generous than me?
That won’t do. There are countless wealthy people in our Nanyang Kingdom, and I am the richest among the rich. I will never allow anyone to be more generous than me!
Isn’t it just a price increase?
I can do it too!
So, the three big guys whose financial resources far exceeded those of ordinary people started competing with each other, and kept raising the price, from three thousand gold ingots to four thousand gold ingots, and finally to five thousand gold ingots.
Such crazy price increases are no longer something that ordinary businessmen and officials can participate in. They wisely withdrew from the "battle" and silently watched this competition between the rich.
Of course, some people were unwilling to give up and vowed to get the stone. Even if they couldn't buy it openly, they could get it secretly by other means...
"Well?"
“Liu Ting, didn’t you say that this stone is only worth 500 ingots of gold?”
"How come these people can raise the price to five thousand gold?"
Liu Ting: “…”
Brother, you asked me, and I also want to ask you, why are you raising the price so crazily?
He said slowly: "There are many people participating in the treasure appraisal meeting. They may be people from the Twelve Clans like us, or they may be the biological son of a local lord, or they may be a wealthy man doing business in many cities..."
"Of course, there are people of all kinds of personalities among them. Maybe they can't stand you because your price increase is too high, so they deliberately raise the price to disgust you."
"It's also possible that they don't understand the market, and when they see you raise the price, they think the item is valuable and they raise the price mindlessly."
Zhang Yun touched her chin and said, "Is that so?"
After a pause, he turned around and looked at Liu Ting: "By the way, is there a limit to how much gold can be exchanged for this gold coin?"
"If I take 100,000 gold coins, can I exchange them for 10,000 gold ingots? How about 200,000? Or even more?"
"There is also the Philosopher's Stone. How many gold ingots is one stone equivalent to? Is there a limit to how much you can exchange it for?"
Hearing this, Liu Ting swallowed his saliva, because he guessed Zhang Yun's thoughts and also figured out that this big brother's pocket money was far beyond his imagination...
Oh My God!
Brother, are you the gold mine leader of the Nanyang Kingdom?
Liu Ting said with indescribable admiration, "Brother, there is no limit to currency transactions here, especially with Western gold coins of equal value. They will take whatever you have."
"After all, as long as the gold coins are melted and recast, they can become brand new Great Xia gold, and the difference won't be too great."
"At most, they will spend some labor costs, and they will only charge you an extra handling fee. They will not lose money, but will make a small profit."
"It's not a big deal..."
After hearing this, Zhang Yun understood that she didn't need to worry about the flow of gold coins being restricted here, and she could just continue to raise the price boldly.
hey-hey!
I'm sorry!
The gold coins in our backpacks are much cheaper than dragon diamonds and resurrection coins. We won’t feel bad if we spend hundreds of millions of them!
So Zhang Yun shouted again: "Ten thousand ingots of gold!"
In order to avoid wasting more time, after Zhang Yun finished shouting out his price, he held up the voice transmission treasure in his hand that could announce the price to the whole audience and continued, "If anyone raises the price from now on, I will add 10,000 gold ingots on top of it. There is no upper limit... I can't help it. I really like collecting these kinds of mysterious stones, so I hope you can be kind enough to give me this little stone..."
In a word, he not only shows his super rich image, but also behaves very modestly. He does not rely on his financial resources to mock others. He just shows that he likes this kind of stone very much, so he is willing to spend money on it.
If other people were sane, they would give up after hearing these words. After all, if this kind of fighting continued to the end, it would probably cause huge trouble for themselves.
but.
Zhang Yun still underestimated the appeal of the Apocalypse Stone to these people.
And how wealthy the real Nanyang mine owners are.
One of the men said, "I'm sorry, brother. I also like this stone very much and I am determined to get it today, so I hope you can be so kind as to give up the bidding and give it to me..."
"For this, I am willing to add another 5,000 ingots of gold. The offer price is 15,000 ingots of gold!"
The woman was not to be outdone: "I'll also add another 5,000 gold bars, and offer a price of 20,000 gold bars... Oh, no, that brother always raises the price by 10,000 gold bars, so the price I'll offer this time is 30,000 gold bars!"
Ah!
Little brother!
Didn’t you say you would add another ten thousand to each quote?
Keep adding if you can!
I want to see, are you really that rich, or are you just pretending to be so rich that you dare to snatch things from our Sun and Moon Chamber of Commerce!
At this time, the real local tyrant in Nanyang also joined in and said loudly: "I will also add 10,000. The offer price is 40,000 gold ingots!"
Hearing the random price being shouted out by the man sitting in the ordinary seat, the man in the suspended private room was immediately furious. He thought to himself, where did this idiot come from? How dare he get involved in our competition and keep asking for ten thousand?
If you can afford so much money, why would you not sit in a private room and sit with those ordinary small businessmen?
Are you kidding me?
After thinking about it, the man picked up the sound transmission device and asked loudly: "Hey! Where are you from? What do you want to do? Are you deliberately bidding a random price?"
"I request the Treasure Appraisal Association to appraise this man's assets to see if he really has so much money, or if he is just doing this to disrupt the competition with malicious intent!"
Hearing the man's question, the Nanyang mine owner sneered and responded, "You little bastard, do you think everyone is like you? You have to be different because you have money. You have to sit in a private room floating in the air and look down from above. Don't you feel your neck is sore?"
"Tell you!"
“I really am rich!”
"Do you know about the Abra Mining Company in the South Sea Kingdom?"
"That's my house!"
"Gold like this is like mud in our place. We can have as much as we want!"
Holy crap! Is there really a chieftain from the Nanyang Kingdom here? And he's one of the owners of Abra Mining? Doesn't this mean he can just buy out the Treasure Appraisal Association?
The man looked at her with disdain: "Tsk ! You are just a bumpkin from Southeast Asia! Don't think you are so awesome just because you are rich! This is the territory of our Great Xia Dynasty! Be careful or you will lose your head!"
The Nanyang mine owner sneered, "Haha! Are you so arrogant? How dare you threaten me?"
The man said, "I didn't, I'm just worried about you. If you're such a rich mine owner and you're not careful when you go out, you could be kidnapped by some money-hungry people at any time!"
The Nanyang mine owner continued to sneer: "Haha! Come if you have the guts! I donated 500 warships to the Twelve Dragons of Daxia two days ago! To help them open up the North Ocean! I want to see! Who dares to touch Aladdin under the eyes of the Twelve Dragons!"
Hearing this, the man drooled and cursed in a low voice: "Asshole, you are quite smart. Go and get close to the relationship of the Twelve Dragons first..."
"snort!"
"never mind!"
"I'll let you go today! Don't let me catch you next time! Otherwise I'll cut off your head and make it into a ball!"
While the two were fighting with each other, Zhang Yun was frowning and thinking.
this……
Something is wrong?
Apart from the Nanyang mine owner who was obviously trying to show off, what about the other two people? Why did they have to be so aggressive and snatch the mysterious stone from me?
Could it be that because I raised the price, this group of people regarded this mysterious stone as a treasure, so they would rather spend a huge price to get it?
possible.
After all, from the man's questioning of the Nanyang mine owner, we can know that he really wants this stone and does not want some ignorant people to bid a random price.
Well, this is not easy to do. Although money is not a problem, if I keep adding like this, I always feel that there will be some big problems...
Zhang Yun was right. The other people who were bidding on the spot were all wealthy and powerful people who were not easy to mess with. If he took the stone away by raising the price endlessly, he would definitely offend the other three people and then be retaliated against by them.
Especially that man, his father was a general of Daxia, commanding a large number of troops, and his family tree was also one of the twelve clans, equivalent to Liu Ting and Li Jin.
Therefore, even the Twelve Dragons would give his father enough face.
As the son of an official who is rich and powerful, the man is as arrogant as Li Jin. Similarly, it is easy for him to kill people.
For example, this Nanyang mine owner, if he had not taken the initiative to donate a warship to the Twelve Dragons to establish a relationship, as soon as the treasure appraisal meeting was over today, the second-generation official who was angered by the Nanyang mine owner would definitely order his strong men to kill him.
No matter you are a Nanyang mine owner or something else, as long as you have nothing to do with the Twelve Dragons, I will kill you, what can you do to me?
You mean revenge?
Haha, I have tens of millions of soldiers and countless masters in Da Xia. Come on and see if you can kill me!
You mean starting a war?
Haha, I laughed. We, Daxia, are recognized as the strongest country in the entire continent. Even if all the kingdoms in the West unite, they may not be our opponents. How dare you, a small tribe in the South Sea Kingdom, go against us?
You mean assassination?
Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Just send an assassin. If he can touch a hair of mine, I will personally take off my head and give it to you!
In addition to this second-generation official man, that woman is not easy to mess with either. She is the head of the Sun and Moon Chamber of Commerce that is spread throughout Daxia, and knows many people in the shadow zone.
As long as she is willing to spend money, she can hire a lot of killers to kill the opponents who annoy her, and at the same time use money to please the Great Xia Dynasty without being punished.
but……
Revenge is revenge...
Whether the other party dares to do it, whether they can succeed, and whether they can defeat Zhang Yun, that is another matter...
Zhang Yun didn't want to cause trouble, so he turned around and asked, "Liu Ting, if I keep raising the price and the other party keeps raising the price, and neither of us gives in, what should I do?"
“Is there any solution?”
Liu Ting scratched his forehead and said, "Ah, brother, I don't know either. This situation is really rare."
"And what you are bidding on is just a mysterious stone, not some rare treasure. Logically speaking, when the price of such a thing is raised to one thousand gold bars, it has far exceeded its value."
"The bidder..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Jin, who had been looking at Lucina, suddenly turned his head and said calmly: "Isn't this easy to solve?"
"Why not just tell everyone else to get lost and say my name?"
"You know that I am Shen Zhilong's biological brother, and you are with me. Let's see who among these grandsons dares to add money, and who dares to snatch this thing from you?"
Zhang Yun: “…”
Of course I know this method, and I even have a better one. I can just call on Veronica to use a big move to kill everyone in the field, and then leave with the inheritance stone without spending a penny.
If you want, I can also let Veronica blow up the capital of your Great Xia and take away all the inheritance stones, leaving none behind.
But I still want to abide by the rules of the Treasure Appraisal Association and bid in a civilized manner... Well, to be honest, I don't really know the rules of the Treasure Appraisal Association...
Just now, this kid Liu Ting quietly spent a large sum of money to buy a treasure, but he did not reveal his identity as Zizhi Long's cousin.
I thought this place was noble enough. The identities of officials and people with connections were useless. One must rely on financial resources to prove oneself.
I didn't expect it to be so tacky. As long as you have connections and power, you can force others to give up the chance to compete with you and hand over the treasure to you...
It seems that Liu Ting is too naive. He has a good background given by God, but he doesn't know how to make good use of it.
Fine!
I know what to do!
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun looked at Li Jin and Liu Ting and said politely: "Okay, I understand. Then please tell me your identities and help me get this mysterious stone!"
"Money is not a problem. As long as you give up this stone, I can give each of the three of them 10,000 gold ingots, and at the same time give you two enough compensation..."
"The main thing is that I don't want to waste time with these people, and I don't want to cause trouble in your Daxia territory."
Um.
correct.
To cause trouble means.
Let the heroes kill all those who are competing with me for the inheritance stone...
