Chapter 85 The World Is so Big, He Wants to See It
With the steady development of Datang Daily, more and more people learned about Lord Tang En's development plan, and began to actively participate in it - because of the generous salary.
Even Fiona and Tang En didn't expect that Datang Daily's appeal would be so strong. After recruiting a large number of people, the steelmaking project was in full swing and took office.
With the gradual formation of the steelmaking plant, on the other side, in the mountain city of Beiyin, the Datang Chamber of Commerce also caused a huge wave.
After Hilton and Thomas bought a store, they distributed leaflets along the street according to Tang En's instructions. As Tang En expected, those people were almost rushing to get the leaflets, and because of this, the popularity of the store named "Datang" was instant. It surpassed many Beiyin's old-fashioned stores, and the well-known result is that Datang stores ushered in waves of hot sales.
Today, the Datang Chamber of Commerce will bring the second wave...
Bei Yin, the Goldstone Auction House under Star Diamond Bank is full of invited guests. The poorest of these guests are also rich men with tens of thousands of gold coins, not to mention those nobles with tens of millions of gold coins Regal.
On the auction platform in the center, a round of auction had just ended. The short stature goblin host was very satisfied with the auction item ahead, and he believed that the next item would also make these nobles obediently take out the gold coins from their pockets.
"The next item to be auctioned is provided by the Tang Chamber of Commerce, a treasure from the elves—a bottle of Crescent Moon wine!"
As the host's voice fell, the nobles who had already received the news were refreshed and their eyes lit up. For these people, the amount of wealth is not very meaningful, and it cannot distinguish them from other rich people. Apparently, competing for financial resources is no longer what they are after, instead they are replaced by various rare objects.
Things like a quill once used by a famous mage, or a stool on which a legendary hero sat, or a famous painting handed down from those countries before the Chaos War.
And there is no doubt that the new moon wine of the elves is also one of them.
Normally, Jinshi Auction House would not name the provider of the auction item, but this time at Hilton's request, it specifically mentioned the name of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. In Tang En's words, this kind of free advertising It is idiotic to give up the opportunity.
"The Great Tang Chamber of Commerce? Isn't it the Chamber of Commerce that sent people to distribute 'flyers' on the street a few days ago?"
"I've been to the store in that chamber of commerce. Although they don't sell many things, the mints taste really good.
, I bought a large box, and now I eat it every day, and my wives also like it very much. What I have to say is that after eating the mints, the feeling of kissing with them is different. "
"That's right. Apart from mints, the soap they sell is also very good. My servant said that it is very useful for washing clothes and they are very clean."
Another rich man said with contempt: "What is soap? The peppermint soap they sell is the real good thing! My servants now use peppermint soap for one gold coin to wash their clothes. Not only are they clean, but also the clothes are clean after washing. There is also a fragrance on it.”
So the rich man who used soap before couldn't hold back his face, and secretly made up his mind that he must buy a box of peppermint soap after the auction.
"Speaking of which, this new moon wine is something from the elves, right? The elves have basically been unable to see it these years, and their things have been handed down?"
"This is also normal. Sometimes in the towns on the edge of the Emerald Forest, you can occasionally see elves come out to exchange some things. It is said that the Great Tang Chamber of Commerce is from Ellington? That place is not far from the Emerald Forest."
"Although it is on the edge of the Emerald Forest, after so many years of peace, it seems that there is another slave hunting team ready to move. They are really a bunch of idiots. Aren't they afraid of offending the gods to come again?"
"I'm afraid the elves are going to hide again. Can Ellington really trade with elves?"
"If it can't be traded, how did this bottle of New Moon wine come from?"
"Maybe some slave hunting team snatched it..."
The goblin host listened to the discussion below and nodded in satisfaction. No matter how arrogant these humans are? Isn't it time to look at the faces of our great goblins?
what! Great leader Rivez Goldtooth, you are the savior of our goblins!
After praising Rivez Gold Tooth in his heart, the goblin host tapped the hammer and shouted loudly: "I believe that the name of Crescent Moon Wine doesn't need me to introduce too much, every noble with taste and background knows it Now, this bottle of Crescent Wine provided by the Datang Chamber of Commerce will be auctioned, with a starting price of 5,000 gold coins, and a minimum increase of 100 gold coins every time!"
"Fifty-five hundred gold coins!"
"Go away, poor ghost! That's New Moon wine! I want to buy 5,500 gold coins too!? 7,000 gold coins!"
"You are the poor ghost! How do you know the value of New Moon Wine? Nine thousand five hundred gold coins!"
"Eleven thousand gold coins! This bottle of wine is mine!"
As those people quarreled, the price of New Moon Wine rose steadily, and soon surpassed 10,000 gold coins. The goblin host on the stage grinned, and the gold teeth glistened under the magic crystal lamp. .
And Hilton and Thomas were even more excited. As long as the price exceeds 10,000 gold coins, this auction will be profitable, nothing more than earning more and earning less.
Soon, the price approached 15,000 gold coins, and Hilton's breath became short of breath. This was an unimaginably sky-high price!
Tang En only learned about 10,000 gold coins for a bottle of Crescent Wine from Hogg before, but he overlooked one point. Rare things are more expensive. In the situation where the elves can't hide from the world, this price has long been a thing of the past. .
Suddenly, a steady voice sounded: "Two hundred pieces..."
"Pfft..."
Someone below couldn't help laughing.
The face of the companion next to him changed slightly: "Idiot! Don't laugh! That is Mr. Douglas, the lord!"
The man covered his mouth for a moment.
Douglas said again: "Two hundred...star diamond crystal coins, this is the currency launched by your star diamond bank, don't tell me that you don't accept it."
"Take it! Of course I take it!"
The goblin host grinned and said, "Master Douglas bid 20,000 gold coins, is there anyone else bidding?"
"Please do me a favor, I want to celebrate my son's birthday, and I need this bottle of New Moon wine to bless him at the banquet."
"Haha, the lord is serious. Since the lord has spoken, of course we will not compete with the lord for this bottle of wine."
"That's right. Speaking of which, Mr. Karl's birthday is approaching. This year, Mr. Karl's strength has improved a lot. He is about to enter the black iron class, right? He is indeed the first genius in our Bein City!"
"It's all old news! Mr. Karl has already entered the black iron class!"
"Oh my god! He is only twenty-six years old this year! He has already entered the black iron rank, doesn't it mean that he has the hope of becoming a gold rank fighter at the age of sixty!?"
"Sixty years old? Tch, you underestimate the talent of Mr. Karl, I bet he will definitely enter the gold rank at the age of fifty—if he doesn't run away from home anymore!"
He listened to them discussing their son with a smile on his face, but when he heard this, Douglas' face darkened instantly...
That's right, Douglas' son, Carl Bratt, is a genius well-known in the mountains. He awakened his talent as a fighter at the age of fifteen, and became a bronze-level fighter at the age of twenty. Not long ago, he made another breakthrough. Entered the black iron level.
Carl is young, handsome, talented, has good potential, and comes from a famous family. He can be called the girl killer and dream lover of Bein City, but the only bad thing is...
He doesn't like staying at home. In his words, the world is so big and he wants to see it.
He wants to be a bard, travel around the world, taste delicious food, listen to stories from all over the world, and tell you anecdotes from all over the world...
The process of Carl's growth is the process of running away from home and fighting against his father Douglas. It is also in this process that in order to fight against his silver-ranked father, Carl's strength under oppression is rapidly improving...
As the discussion gradually disappeared, the bottle of Crescent Moon wine finally fell into Douglas's hands at a price of 20,000 gold coins.
"Thank you for your concession. Tomorrow is my son's birthday. There will be a banquet in the Lord's Mansion. Everyone is welcome to attend."
"Definitely! We will certainly not miss Mr. Karl's birthday party!"
"As long as the lord doesn't think our gifts are cheap..."
At this time, the goblin host coughed a few times, and said, "Please be quiet, everyone. Next, Ms. Hilton from the Datang Chamber of Commerce wants to say a few words to you when the auction is completed."
Hilton walked up to the stage with a smile, saluted very gracefully, and said, "First of all, I would like to congratulate Mr. Douglas for winning the New Moon wine, and at the same time congratulate your son on his birthday. I can assure you that this bottle is truly new The moon wine will definitely add a lot of splendor to tomorrow's banquet."
Douglas smiled: "The price doesn't matter, as long as the wine is real."
"Of course, we don't dare to sell fakes at the Goldstone Auction House, otherwise the reputation of Star Diamond Bank will be damaged, and dragons will come to hunt us down."
Hilton laughed a little, and then she changed the subject and said: "We have seen everyone's eagerness for Crescent Moon Wine today. Crescent Moon Wine can be said to be a treasure among wines. I understand it very well. People are hungry for the idea of it.”
"Therefore, I want to tell you a piece of good news. Our Datang shop will put out a bottle of Crescent Wine for auction every month. It will be supplied for one year. After one year, it will no longer be available. At that time, everyone will be invited to participate."
"Hiss—a bottle every month!? Supply for a year!? Are you bragging!?"
"Of course not! Our Datang Chamber of Commerce will do what we say!"
Hilton said very seriously: "To prove our sincerity, tomorrow, that is, at the birthday party of Mr. Carl, our Datang Chamber of Commerce will present Mr. Tang En, the lord representing Ellington, with a bottle of Crescent Moon Wine for everyone to taste! "
boom!
The people below exploded in an instant, no longer doubting the authenticity of Hilton's words, but excitedly looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow's banquet. ===PS: Vote Vote Vote~
