Chapter 600 Jiu Ye: Can you be a little more promising?
After silently calculating, Wen Jiu asked nervously, "Do you think that setting the price at 100,000 taels is a bit too high?"
If one plant could really be sold for 100,000 taels, wouldn't she be as rich as a country?
You know, normally when a prince built a mansion, Emperor Kangxi only gave him 200,000 taels for the expenses of settling in. But this snow lotus was auctioned for 100,000 taels. Doesn't that mean that as a prince, he had to empty half of his family's wealth to buy the snow lotus? Wen Jiu felt that it was a little unreal.
Jiu Ye immediately rolled his eyes at Wen Jiu and said, "Can you be more ambitious? I've given you this box worth tens of thousands of taels. So, you think you can't even get a hundred thousand taels? Then my trip here today was in vain."
Seeing Wenjiu's bewildered look, Jiu Ye simply said, "This is just the starting price given by the Chamber of Commerce. In my opinion, this snow lotus is of excellent quality. Perhaps it can be sold at a sky-high price."
Jiu Ye's eyes lit up as he spoke. He then turned around and saw the wine beside him, saying, "I didn't give you this box for free. If you auction off your snow lotus, you have to give me the money later."
Wen Jiu waved his hand: "I know, I know. I've already sold it for 100,000 taels of silver. I still need your 10,000 taels? How about I give you 20,000 taels?"
When Master Jiu heard this, he immediately laughed: "Alright, alright! Little Fourth Sister-in-law is really generous."
As we were talking, we suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Jiu Ye immediately sat up straight and nodded at the two of them, "I guess the people here are here to identify this Western Region Snow Lotus."
As soon as he finished speaking, four people wearing the same black clothes and black cloaks as them entered the house.
The difference is that the medals on their arms are red.
"Dear guest, I heard that you have a snow lotus from the Western Regions that you would like to entrust our Chamber of Commerce to auction. I wonder if I could have the opportunity to take a look at it?" The old voice of the leading elder came over.
Wenjiu looked over subconsciously, and his sight happened to meet that of the old man. Wenjiu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it was rare to see such peaceful eyes.
The old man nodded lightly at Wen Jiu, then turned and looked at Jiu Ye again.
"nature."
Jiu Ye then handed over the jade box in his hand.
The old man immediately took it with both hands and put the box on the table very carefully. You looked around carefully for a long time before slowly opening it.
A faint, clear air bloomed around once again. The old man just took a look, touched it lightly with his fingertips, and quickly closed the box again.
"Indeed, the top-grade Western Region Snow Lotus is quite good. How can it remain so intact? Amazing, truly amazing."
After hearing this, Master Jiu just smiled and said, "So, my Snow Lotus can also be auctioned?"
Of course, my dear guest, I am fortunate to have seen such a treasure today. It is a matter of fate. I wonder if you can buy it for two hundred thousand taels?"
When Wenjiu heard this, he was so scared that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Goodness, it's already sold before the auction even starts? With 200,000, wouldn't she be able to build a mansion?
For a moment, he stared at Jiu Ye nervously.
But Master Jiu laughed and said, "It's not that I don't respond, but this thing was entrusted to me by someone, or..."
"As I should." The old man said, "I know I'm asking too much, so please don't take it to heart. It's a pity that I've only saved this much in my life. I just wanted to give it a try."
Now that I think about it more clearly, I know that this is inappropriate. My dear guest, your Western Region Snow Lotus will surely be the most dazzling tonight."
After hearing this, Master Jiu nodded and said, "In that case, thank you for your trouble."
The old man shook his head and said, "I dare not. It is only because I have seen you today that I should thank you."
Then he carefully picked up the healing and nodded to Master Jiu, saying, "In that case, I will not disturb you any further and take this thing away."
Jiu Ye just nodded and smiled and sent the person out.
The person in front of him disappeared without a trace. Wen Jiu couldn't help but say, "Master Jiu, are you stupid? That's two hundred thousand taels, why don't you sell it? It's more than doubled!"
Jiu Ye rolled his eyes at Wen Jiu and said, "I think you're stupid. There are so many Tianshan Snow Lotuses in the world that you can count them on one hand. Suddenly, a plant like this, preserved so well, appears at an underground auction house. Do you think that two hundred thousand taels can get rid of you? Who are you looking down on?"
Wenjiu blinked: "Huh?"
It's a bit scary, ouch.
Jiu Ye immediately picked up a piece of snack and ate it: "Just wait and see, don't worry, it will start soon."
As he spoke, he pushed a plate in front of the wine: "Come, have something to eat."
Wen Jiu subconsciously picked up a piece of candy and ate it. Just as he took a bite, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Is this something from our Zui Xiang Lou?"
Just now I saw that the packaging was extremely exquisite, and it was tied with all kinds of beautiful silks. After peeling off layer after layer of the outside, I found that there was a toffee inside.
Jiu Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, our milk candy is limited in quantity. Nowadays, the only company that can offer such precious milk candy to entertain guests is the Raindrop Chamber of Commerce."
Wen Jiu glanced at the handful of White Rabbit candies in front of him again and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and asked, "So you made this packaging?"
Jiu Ye nodded: "Of course, how about it?"
Wenjiu immediately gave a thumbs up: "Great, great."
Jiu Ye humbly waved his hand and said, "No, you are the real genius. If you hadn't invented such delicious candy, I would have no place to use all my strength."
Wen Jiu: "No, without you, the milk candy I researched would never be able to sell at the same level as yours."
Jiu Ye: "No, no, how could that be? The candy you researched is so delicious."
Master Shi rolled his eyes and silently took a piece of candy and put it in his mouth: "You two should stop chasing each other. I know you two are very rich and good at making money!"
The Tenth Master sighed quietly, "This silver badge and the gold badge are truly different. Take this toffee, for example. Mine is wrapped in ordinary oil paper, while yours is wrapped in satin. Zui Xiang Lou sells these two types of toffee, and the price difference is a tael of silver!"
After hearing what the Tenth Master said, Wenjiu realized belatedly that the tea, drinks and snacks served to them on the table were different.
The chopsticks here are made of gold, and the dim sum are all exquisite.
On the other hand, Master Shi's dim sum wasn't anything less exquisite, but there were just two fewer than his own. The packaging of the toffee was also very ordinary. The chopsticks were also made of silver.
Although it looked good at first glance, it looked a bit shabby when compared with his and Jiu Ye's.
Wen Jiu was silent for a moment, then gave him all the snacks: "I'll give them all to you. This Chamber of Commerce is the same, why do they divide people into classes?"
The Tenth Master curled his lips and said, "The taste is different. Forget it." Then he looked at the Ninth Master beside him and said, "Ninth Brother, when will you get me another gold medal?"
"...Do I look like a gold medal?" Ninth Master angrily slapped Tenth Master on the back of the head and said, "Do you think I picked up gold medals on the street? It's not easy for me to get so many of them?"
The Tenth Master immediately shrank his neck, realizing that he was being a bit unreasonable. He curled his lips and turned around to eat some snacks.
Wen Jiu asked curiously, "Is it difficult to get this gold medal?"
