Chapter 42 They seem to have no money



"Three hundred and fifty gold coins!"

Valen bid again.

However, the high price of three hundred and fifty gold coins still could not stop these people from making a move.

"Three hundred and sixty gold coins!"

"Three hundred and seventy-five gold coins!"

The veins on Terry's neck were exposed. It was obvious that after buying a pound of refined salt, the current price was almost reaching his limit.

"Four hundred gold coins!"

Some businessmen were puzzled.

Each of them was carrying a different item.

"Four hundred and ninety gold coins for the second time!"

"Twenty-eight!"

"Mr. Valen, familiarity is one thing, business is another. The two cannot be mixed up!"

Blanche is also very thoughtful. She said that it might be out of print. As to whether it is possible or not, it is all up to Zhang Feng to decide.

They were all extremely envious. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they would make a profit if they bought this thing, but they did not have as much money as others, so they could only look at Brown with envy.

Seeing Terry give up, both Wallen and Brown breathed a sigh of relief. Now that one competitor was gone, they were left with only each other.

Brown shook his head. He had bid for the refined salt and white sugar and was planning to sell them to the royal capital. He was relatively familiar with the situation in the royal capital.

"Four hundred and ninety gold coins! Thank you very much, Lord Valen, for your help!"

"It's farther than the capital. Is that the Fallen Flame Kingdom? Or the Gamma Kingdom?"

Blanche never dreamed that half a pound of white sugar could be sold for so many gold coins. She looked at everyone hopefully. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?

The etiquette lady brought the kitchen utensils to the merchants.

"Four hundred and ninety gold coins for the first time!"

Valen continued to follow up without giving in.

"No, it's obviously not the capital. There is no refined salt or sugar in the capital!"

A kitchen knife, a long spoon and a spatula.

Blanche seemed to say something that had nothing to do with the auction, but the merchants were so attracted that they didn't even pay attention to the tools on the table.

"And it was made using superb craftsmanship! You can feel it for yourself. I believe you have never seen this kind of material and craftsmanship before."

Brown smiled and shook his head.

While withdrawing money, Zhang Feng winked at Blanche, who understood immediately.

Brown did not have so many gold coins on him, so he asked the servant standing outside to get the gold coins.

Hearing that Valen directly increased the amount to 400 gold coins, Terry shook his head with a wry smile. This was already beyond the limit he could bear. It was not that he could not take out so many gold coins, but that he would have almost no gold coins left after taking them out. Cash flow is very important in doing business, otherwise the ability to resist risks would be too poor.

"Four hundred and ninety gold coins for the third time! Deal!"

After all, scarcity represents business opportunities.

Although all the businessmen here today can be called big businessmen, there is still a difference between big businessmen and big businessmen. For example, Warren, Brown and Terry are the first echelon, and the others are in the second echelon. The financial resources of the others cannot be compared with these three.

"The far east? Could it be the capital?"

Clap, clap, clap~ Zhang Feng took the lead in applauding, and the businessmen all began to congratulate.

Seeing that Valen didn't seem to be faking it, Brown knew that this was his limit.

The merchants were all talking in a low voice. They were still very interested in the origins of Zhang Feng, the city lord. However, seeing that Zhang Feng did not seem to want to say more, they did not deliberately ask Zhang Feng, as that would only annoy others.

"Well, first up, this stainless steel kitchen knife. The starting price is ten gold coins!"

Valen still didn't give up. He only spent 100 gold coins to buy a pound of refined salt. Relatively speaking, the pressure was not that great.

Under normal circumstances, Brown might have been willing to help him, but not now. This might be the only white sugar in the country, or even the world!

"I give up!"

There was a slight spark in Brown's eyes. Although he and Valen were good friends, he would not back down when it came to his own interests.

"Four hundred and twenty gold coins!"

If this was a knight's sword, it would definitely sell for a sky-high price!

"Four hundred and eighty gold coins! If you offer a higher price, I'll give up!"

"Twenty pieces!"

Brown did not add one gold coin, but directly added ten, which was considered to be giving Valen enough face.

But Valen still didn't want to give up. He gritted his teeth and made a final bid.

Valen picked up the square kitchen knife. It was heavier than he had imagined. The blade was shining silver, and Valen had no doubt about its sharpness.

Terry gave up raising the price, and now only Warren and Brown are bidding on the court.

Blanche clapped her hands, and several graceful etiquette ladies came on stage again.

It seems that there is no chance, Valen and Terry have both given up bidding. In this case, Blanche will not hesitate.

Valen sighed. Although he didn't want to give up, his wallet wouldn't allow it!

"Four hundred and thirty gold coins!"

"Our auction will continue. Next up are some small items. I hope you like them."

"Why……"

Blanche said "Nai" many times in one breath, and the businessmen's eyes lit up more and more as they listened.

"It's a good knife! Unfortunately..."

Valen: It’s a pity that this knife is too small. It would be better if it was a knight’s sword.

Boom! "Let us congratulate Mr. Brown for purchasing half a pound of white sugar, which is likely to be out of print, at the price of four hundred and ninety gold coins!"

Seeing that everyone was attracted, Blanche said again: "And these three kitchen utensils on my hand are what Master Zhang Feng brought from his hometown. They are not made of gold or silver, but a special metal called stainless steel. It will never rust! Moreover, it is heat-resistant, high-temperature-resistant, low-temperature-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and wear-resistant..."

"Even further?"

Although most people may not care too much about kitchen utensils, the nobles would not be stingy with their gold coins if there are better options.

"Four hundred and fifty gold coins!"

Ordinary knight swords are forged from iron and require coins to maintain every day, otherwise they will rust and become scrapped in a short time.

"You may not know much about our city lord, so let me briefly introduce him. Our city lord comes from the far east, which is an extremely mysterious country. Things like refined salt and white sugar were brought by the lord from there!"

"Mr. Brown, we are already so familiar with each other, why bother arguing? Just give me some face, and I will definitely give you a backup gift later!"

Spoons and spatulas are much lighter than kitchen knives, and this completely different combination of metals makes merchants love them.

"thirty!"

“…”

In the end, the stainless steel kitchen knife was bought for fifty gold coins, the stainless steel shovel was sold for forty gold coins, and the stainless steel spoon was also sold for forty gold coins.

At the same time, Brown's gold coins had also been delivered. Looking at the glittering gold coins, Zhang Feng felt that this auction was a complete success. These people probably didn't have much money left, so the rest of the bidding items could be done at will.
