Chapter 604: The Feeling of Getting Rich
Wen Jiu: "...You...I am so grateful to you."
"You fool!" Jiu Ye was so angry at Lao Shi that he turned around in circles, pointing at him with shaking hands: "Prodigal son, prodigal son! If we buy this snow lotus back for another 400,000, I will pull your head off and kick it like a ball!"
Jiu Ye was furious, not to mention the fact that he had raised the price. The Raindrop Chamber of Commerce knew that this item came from him, and although they would treat it as an auction according to the rules, it would still affect his reputation. Old Ten, that brat, probably didn't even know what he had done!
Seeing their disapproving expressions, Master Shi frowned and said, "What are you doing? If they like it, they'll definitely raise the price!"
The Ninth Master gnashed his teeth in anger and slapped the Tenth Master on the head: "It would have been fine if you had just raised the price at the beginning, but now it's already over four hundred thousand, and you're still raising the price! This is over four hundred thousand taels, not forty-odd taels!"
The Tenth Master was still a little dissatisfied: "Just now, everyone in the Seven Colors Room has already invested money. Could it be that he is still short of 20,000 or 30,000 taels?"
Jiu Ye: "You really make me angry. What should I do? Even if I sell you, I don't know if I can raise the 450,000 taels!"
As he said this, cold sweat broke out on Jiu Ye's forehead. This time he spun even faster than before, and his entire face even turned red.
"Not really?" Master Shi hadn't heard anyone raise the price for a long time, so he swallowed nervously and ran to the window with a pale face, peeking out.
"Why isn't anyone bidding higher? Hurry up and increase the price!"
At this moment, cold sweat was dripping down the forehead of the Tenth Master.
"Um, Brother Nine, if we really take the picture later, you will give money to your brother, right?"
When Master Jiu heard this, he flew into a rage: "If you don't, I'll make the Chamber of Commerce chop off both of your claws!"
The Tenth Master suddenly had a sad face and turned to look at Wen Jiu: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, the snow lotus is yours. Why don't you transfer it to the Chamber of Commerce, and then we can shoot it again, okay?"
Wen Jiu: "...Don't panic, it's not the last moment yet."
When it came to Elder Meng, he followed the rules and started to count: "Four hundred and fifty thousand taels once... Four hundred and fifty thousand taels twice..."
"What should I do? No one is bidding anymore. Master Shi is so anxious that he starts to think about it: "Little Sister-in-law, please think of a solution quickly. What should we do? How about we bid again? Maybe we can slow things down?"
Jiu Ye was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Are you stupid? Do you think 450,000 taels is not enough?"
Tenth Master: "...If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so greedy. How could I have been so greedy? The Emperor taught us a long time ago that we should know when to stop..."
Jiu Ye: "Now you remember what the Emperor said?"
"What should I do? What should I do?" Master Shi anxiously started scratching the door.
Jiu Ye took one look at his frantic expression and finally said, "What can we do? Just chill! If all else fails, we can just scrape together some money. What else can we do?"
He bought something himself, and then had to buy it back himself. He then had to pay a handling fee, and all in all, he lost nearly ten thousand taels of silver. This was truly the most unprofitable business he had ever made in his life!!!
"Don't worry, it's not the last moment yet!"
Wenjiu was still a little unconvinced and stared down intently.
Sure enough, the next second, the sound of a ding-ling bell was heard.
At this moment, this shout saved several people instantly.
"Ahhh, what a kind-hearted person! Someone actually made a bid." Master Shi was so excited that he almost cried. He immediately wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked down eagerly.
"Room No. 4 Yellow is offering...offering...five hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was in an uproar.
"Oh my god, someone in the Yellow Room actually threw a red bead! Hasn't a red bead appeared in the venue in over a decade?"
One red bead represents one hundred thousand taels of silver. How rich must one be to be willing to bet on a red bead?
"Who is that? He's from the porn room!"
The levels in this venue are divided into heaven, earth, black and yellow.
The gold medal for the Tian room was one million taels, the silver medal for the Di room was five hundred thousand taels, the bronze medal for the Xuan room was one hundred taels, and the Huang room had to pay one hundred taels of silver to enter the venue.
Even the wing rooms only had a small window and were very narrow. I'm afraid that each wing room could not accommodate three people. Such a person actually bought this Western Region Snow Lotus at a high price of 550,000 taels!
"Could it be that it was just a random cry, or that it was a bead that accidentally fell?"
Inside the meeting room, someone opened the window and started talking to the person next door.
The people next to Room No. 4 with the yellow letter "Huang" couldn't help but open the window and take a closer look at Room No. 4.
It’s a pity that the door was closed tightly, the window had no gap at all, and there was no sound.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand taels once...Five hundred and fifty thousand taels twice, five hundred and fifty thousand taels three times, deal!"
Mr. Meng's voice, still trembling slightly, resounded throughout the meeting hall, finalizing the decision.
Without having time to say anything to everyone, he carefully carried the box to the Huangzi Room.
"They are quite quick, aren't they?" Wen Jiu looked at the nimble hands and feet, finally sat back in his chair, and let out a sigh of relief.
"What do you mean by fast? If it were normal times, it wouldn't be so urgent." said Master Jiu.
Seeing Wen Jiu looking over curiously, Jiu Ye explained, "They're probably worried that the people from the Huangzifang won't be able to come up with the money, so hurry up and verify it. If everything goes well, you'll get the 550,000 taels."
"I have earned 550,000 taels just now?" Wen Jiu was still a little bit unbelieving. He pinched his face and subconsciously brought the tea to his mouth.
"Yeah," Jiu Ye responded without saying anything, but he looked at her curiously and asked, "What are you shaking for? The water has spilled on your clothes."
Wen Jiu: "...Uh, I'm a little uncomfortable with my sudden wealth..."
I used to watch movies where someone suddenly inherited a billion dollars and became completely paralyzed. I used to laugh it off, thinking it was too exaggerated.
Now, Wenjiu can say responsibly that she really can't exert any strength at all!
Jiu Ye: "...promising."
Master Shi: "It's also my contribution, don't forget it."
Jiu Ye: "...How dare you say that! I'm going to break your legs today!"
"Hey? Brother Jiu, everything is fine now. We've even made extra money. Why did you have to resort to violence? You can't beat me..."
Jiu Ye: “…”
What sin had he committed that God had given him such a foolish brother?
…
"Master, although this amount of silver is high, we have finally obtained the Western Region Snow Lotus. It is worth all the trouble. I think the eldest prince's condition can be controlled for a while."
In the carriage, Heifeng added a cup of tea and served it, then breathed a sigh of relief.
The Fourth Master looked at the jade box in front of him, rubbed his forehead, and sighed, "We still have to have people continue searching. I don't know how long this one will be useful."
