Everyone was silent, unsure of Valen's bottom line.
For a moment, no one dared to take action.
"One hundred gold coins for the first time!"
"One hundred gold coins for the second time!"
"One hundred gold coins for the third time!"
"make a deal!"
"Let us congratulate Mr. Valen for buying a pound of refined salt!"
The businessmen were stunned for a moment, then instantly became excited!

Valen was scared!
Everyone could even vaguely see three bowls under the red cloth.
"One hundred and thirty-five!"
"One hundred and twenty gold coins!"
"Then the next item is the third one!"
This was Brown's second bid, and he directly added fifty gold coins! He had no choice. He had missed the first time, and he must not miss the second time. After all, the output of this kind of refined salt is so low, and buying it is a profit. This is an opportunity! One hundred and fifty gold coins, but it is a full half more expensive than the price Valen just sold. This time he must win!
I miscalculated!
"One hundred and fifty pieces! I hope you can be more generous. I, Brown, owe you a favor! And no matter what the third auction item is, I will never bid again!"
"Mr. Valen, good tricks! Congratulations!"
The merchants were all a little insincere and even a little regretful. If they were given another chance, they would never give up the refined salt so easily! "You're welcome, you're welcome!"
"Congratulations!"
Sure enough, after the transaction on the spot, the etiquette lady brought out a wooden tray covered with a red cloth.
The first time, it was a rare item like refined salt. How could the second time be any worse? "Let's bring out the second item for auction. It is - refined salt!"
So people stopped bidding.
"One hundred and twenty-five!"
"Let us congratulate Mr. Brown again!"
Blanche's face flushed with excitement. One hundred gold coins! It was the first time in her life that she had seen so many gold coins!
"One hundred and fifty gold coins for the second time!"
Blanche's voice was a little hoarse. She thought that one hundred gold coins were the most gold coins she had ever seen at one time in her life, and also the highest-priced item in the auction she hosted. But just a few minutes later, her personal record was broken!
It was still the same hostess with aristocratic temperament, the same wooden tray, and the same red cloth.
If he could use this relationship to sell the refined salt to the palace, he was confident that he would make more money than Valencia! Brown generously handed the bag of gold coins to the etiquette lady, and then carefully took the refined salt that belonged to him, with a big smile on his face.
The smiles on the faces of Valen and Brown, who were the first to buy, were a little stiff. Could it be that they were cheated? Blanche seemed to know what everyone was thinking, and she spoke directly.
This is exactly where Brown's cleverness lies. If he had said these words when he directly shouted out the one hundred gold coins, he would have been kicked out by Zhang Feng long ago.
"Didn't we agree that it would take a year to extract one kilogram?"
Considering that he had fifty extra gold coins, Zhang Feng didn't care about such a trivial matter.
Zhang Feng shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't care.
What do the nobles and royal families care about most? Face! And refined salt represents face! These are all shiny gold coins! "Congratulations, Lord Valen!"
“There’s even refined salt!”
"Thank you, everyone. If you need me Brown in the future, just let me know!"
After Blanche understood Zhang Feng's look, she immediately struck the hammer.
"One hundred and fifty gold coins for the third time!"
“Pah, pah, pah!”
Everyone fell silent again, and even Valen, who had promised not to take action a second time, looked expectant.
It was at this moment that the businessmen reacted and slapped their thighs.
"One hundred and forty!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Brown!"
The first price increase was ten times the original price! Silence, the scene was silent for three seconds, and then the discussion broke out.
“…”
Boom! "Deal!"
"Congratulations!"
Brown didn't believe that Zhang Feng only had this one item to bid on.
Brown also congratulated him. Although he and Valen were competitors, he and Valen had the closest relationship among these people. The two had already reached a strategic cooperation agreement. He did not compete with Valen the first time, and Valen did not compete the second time.
Valen was all smiles. When he saw so much refined salt, he had estimated that he would need about a hundred gold coins. Now that he could get it successfully, luck played a big part in it.
Now think about it, one hundred gold coins to buy a kilogram of refined salt, it is definitely not a loss! Because they have received refined salt gifts from Zhang Feng before, tasted them personally, and knew that what the auctioneer said was true. This refined salt, in terms of appearance and taste, is not comparable to the current coarse salt.
After hearing Brown's words, many businessmen began to hesitate. One reason was that Brown's net worth was much higher than theirs. If they really had to compete in financial strength, unless they united, they would not be able to win one-on-one. Another reason was that one hundred and fifty gold coins was the default transaction price in their minds. What's more, Brown agreed to owe them a favor. There was no need to fight to the death. After all, as a businessman, more friends mean more paths.
Blanche carefully lifted the red cloth, and three small bowls were placed in the shape of a "品" (product). The snow-white salt in the bowls sparkled in the sunlight.
Blanche looked at Zhang Feng with a somewhat obscure gaze, because strictly speaking, what Blanche said was not appropriate. After all, just bid, and just bid as many gold coins as you should. There is no such thing as using force to pressure others.
You know, one of the reasons why he is richer than others is because he has connections in the palace of Buck Kingdom!
"Let us congratulate Mr. Brown for winning a pound of refined salt at the price of 150 gold coins!"
"No way, is there still refined salt?"
"One hundred gold coins? Ha, I have one hundred and ten gold coins!"
"Wow, we've already been fooled once, and you really thought we'd be fooled a second time!"
"One hundred and fifty gold coins for the first time!"
"One hundred gold coins!"
"A pound of refined salt, starting price - ten gold coins!"
One hundred gold coins for a pound of salt may seem expensive, but as the saying goes, different people have different purchasing power. Naturally, no one will buy it if you sell it to common people, but if you sell it to nobles or even the royal family, you will definitely make a fortune!
Zhang Feng took the lead in applauding. Although everyone didn't know the meaning of his action, they thought it was similar to congratulations, so they naturally followed Zhang Feng in applauding subconsciously.
As soon as Blanche finished speaking, Brown spoke up immediately.
"Congratulations!"
The first time, I completely failed to seize the opportunity and was fooled by Valencia. This second time, I will never give up!
Brown's eyes lit up, and Valen promised not to make a move this time. But looking at the shining eyes of the businessmen next to him, Brown felt a little overwhelmed, and felt that the competition might be even more intense this time!
"This is the last kilogram of refined salt. There will be no more refined salt for sale this year. I even heard rumors that the consumption of coarse salt required to make this refined salt is too high. It is very likely that refined salt will not be produced in the next three years or even longer!"
There was deep regret in Blanche's words, and this regret was certainly not fake, because this was what Zhang Feng told her, and she believed it.
Blanche thought that she might never see so many gold coins again, and her truest emotions were revealed.
I heard that this was the last batch of refined salt this year, and it was very likely to be the last kilogram of refined salt in the next three years. Even worse, this kilogram of refined salt might become out of print! "Huh~"
The breathing of these businessmen suddenly became heavy. They were panting, their eyes were red, they were like a bull about to fight!
