Chapter 344 The Huangfu Family
People's exclamations were obviously amazed by Bao Debin's starting price.
But those high-level warriors and mages, as well as the few Eka people sitting in the VIP seats, understand that 500 million taels is only a symbolic starting price. The real value of the Jade Dragon Lizard should be at least 1000 million taels of gold.
Moreover, the starting price of 500 million taels of gold is the same as the starting price of the ninth-level beast Amethyst Phoenix last time, which is slightly lower for a tenth-level monster.
Sure enough, as soon as Bao Debin finished speaking, the sound of bidding soon resounded in the venue.
"600 million taels."
"700 million taels."
"800 million taels."
"900 million taels."
"1000 million taels."
When the bidding price reached 1000 million taels of gold, there was a brief silence in the venue.
But the duration of this silence is only a few breaths.
Soon, there was another bidding sound.
"100 million."
"150 million."
"1000 two million..."
After the bidding price of more than 1000 million taels of gold, people were obviously more cautious when asking prices, and the range of asking prices was also cut in half.
But even so, the price of the exchange auction continued to rise.
"500 million."
When the bidding price of 500 million was heard, there was a second brief silence in the venue.
After a few breaths, another voice sounded.
"600 million."
Following the voice, Ye Rong turned out to be a member of the Huangfu family, which ranked fourth among the four major families in the capital.The Huangfu family is mainly engaged in the grain business in the capital, and its scope also covers vegetables, fruits and other foods that people often eat. Due to its good relationship with the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Huangfu family has almost monopolized the price of grain in the capital. , Foreign merchants can't intervene at all.
Among the four major families in the capital, the Nangong family is mainly engaged in mineral resources and civil engineering, the Murong family is mainly engaged in cloth, fur, silk and cotton, and the Ouyang family is mainly engaged in bodyguards and chariots.Although the Huangfu family is only ranked last among the four major families, everyone knows that the food business is the lifeblood of the people in the capital. Instead, it is at the head of the four major families.
At this time, Ye Rong noticed that in the seat of Huangfu's family, there was a handsome and tall young man sitting in the middle of the seats, wearing a strong outfit and looking very energetic.
Ye Rong's heart moved, this young man was the only son of the head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu'an.
Moreover, it was heard that the patriarch of the Huangfu family was already seriously ill, and it seemed that the person who now monopolizes the family affairs is precisely this Huangfu An.
Hearing Huangfu'an's asking price, an Eka man frowned, snorted softly, and continued, "700 million."
Everyone exclaimed again.
The original asking price range has been a little smaller, and it has become 50 and 50 upwards, but this Eka person suddenly called for a range of 100 million.
Huangfu's shore was like a flat lake, and he said lightly: "Eighteen million."
Tubu, who was sitting on Eka's seat, turned his head at this time, stared at Huangfu'an intentionally, and said again: "900 million."
Without hesitation, Huangfuan continued, "2000 million taels."
As soon as the number was spoken, several Eka people looked at each other and fell silent for a while.
Ye Rong's heart was also moved. The number of 2000 million taels was not silver, but gold.It is equivalent to [-] million taels of bank notes.Even if the Huangfu family is making a lot of money every day, such a large sum of money can't be earned even if it doesn't last ten or eight years.
Why did Huangfu An pay such a high price to win this prehistoric green dragon lizard?
Thinking of this, Ye Rong suddenly remembered a piece of information from the Dark Temple.The Huangfu family has been buying the horns of monsters above level five recently. It is said that they are for people to practice a rare martial art.
Ye Rong vaguely remembered the name of this martial skill, it was called Shengtian Armor.
Although the holy sky armor is a ninth-level martial skill, once it is practiced, it can resist the damage of tenth-level martial arts and magic, which is almost equivalent to the attack of a junior demon master and junior martial artist.
Thinking of this, Ye Rong was startled. Could it be that the strength of the Huangfu family has reached such a high level?
At this moment, the Eka continued to remain silent. 2000 million taels of gold, such a price is definitely not affordable by ordinary people. For a while, the whole venue fell silent.
Obviously, 2000 million taels of gold is also the bottom line of these Russians. If the price exceeds 2000 million taels of gold, the Russians may not have enough money to prepare, and secondly, they may feel that it is not worth it.
But after a few breaths, the Eka man named Tubu continued to speak with a stern look on his face, "Twenty-one million taels."
The crowd exclaimed again.
Huangfu'an seemed slightly surprised, glanced at Tubu lightly, and said in a calm tone, "2000 two million taels."
Tubu gritted his teeth: "Twenty-three million."
At this time, several Eka people around lowered their heads unanimously, and whispered to Tubu: "Although practicing tortoise shell skills is an extremely important thing, the price has already exceeded the actual value of a tenth-level monster. It’s too worthless for you to continue calling like that.”
Tubu said viciously: "I have paid a lot for Guijia Kungfu, more than 2000 million taels of gold tickets. Once I have practiced Jinjia Kungfu, there may be opportunities to get this money back."
Xi Er listened to Tu Bu's words, but Ye Rong was startled.
Tortoise shell kung fu is a mysterious martial art circulated among ascetics in the north of the Eastern Continent. It is said that once the tortoise shell kung fu is practiced, it is difficult to break through the defense of the tortoise shell kung fu even if it is an intermediate magic master or intermediate martial arts master.
Thinking of this, Ye Rong frowned. If Tubu could practice this kind of martial skill, he would undoubtedly set up a strong enemy against the Tiangong Empire, and it would also become a thorny problem for Ye Tian.
Biting her lips, Ye Rong thought to herself: It seems that this Tubu needs to pay close attention. Once he finds out that he has a tendency to advance, should he be considered to kill him in advance.
At this time, Huangfu'an who was not far away spoke again and said, "Twenty-four million."
Tubu's eyes flashed fiercely, and he continued to say: "Twenty-five million."
As soon as this number was said, Ye Rong's mouth immediately curved into a nice curve.
Twenty-five million taels of gold, this is exactly the bottom line Ye Tian expected.At this moment, Ye Tian's expectation has been reached, and if he goes further, it will be an extra surprise.
But Huang Fu'an didn't seem to be moved, and continued to shout: "Twenty-six million."
Everyone exclaimed again.
Tubu gritted his teeth, paused for a while, and finally said, "Twenty-seven million."
At this time, Constantine, who was sitting next to Tubu, whispered, "Tubu, the total money we exchanged for rubies is only 2000 million taels of gold. Even if you add other jewels on your body, the maximum is two thousand taels." 500 million taels. You won’t be able to take out any more, you have to think about it, and don’t end up staying in Tiangong Empire as a hostage just because you can’t afford it.”
Facing Constantine's ridicule, Tubu just gritted his teeth and said, "I still have the moon wheel."
Hearing Tubu's words, all the Eka people shook their heads one after another, saying to themselves: The moon wheel is the national treasure of the people in the extreme arctic ice field, but in the process of conquering the ice field, it accidentally fell on Tubu. hands.But the Moonlight Wheel is priceless, much more precious than a tenth-level monster.Even if Tubu couldn't cultivate this moon wheel by himself due to different magic attributes, it would be unreasonable to exchange it for a prehistoric green dragon lizard. "
But at this time, Tubu was obviously addicted to the madness of bidding and couldn't extricate himself.
After a short pause, Huangfu'an who was not far away also spoke again: "Twenty-seven million."
"3000 million." Tubu gritted his teeth and added 300 million taels of gold at once.
Hearing the number Tubu said, Huangfu'an was slightly taken aback again.In fairness, the price of 3000 million taels of gold has already exceeded Huangfu'an's bottom line.
Frowning, Huangfuan began to think quickly.
Among the four major families in the capital, the Huangfu family has always been mainly engaged in agricultural products such as grain, vegetables, and fruits, but these items are related to the lives of ordinary people. Under the intervention of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the price should not be too high. The Ministry even set a price ceiling for every agricultural product.
Because of this, the commercial profits of the Huangfu family's industries have also been unable to increase.Although it has sent income to the Ministry of Household Affairs every year, the Ministry of Household Affairs has never dared to completely liberalize the prices of agricultural products because of the importance of the relationship.
In terms of turnover, Huangfu'an is confident that he will never lose to the other three major families, but in terms of profit, the Huangfu family can only be at the bottom.
Just last winter, when Ouyang's family attached themselves to the Royal Household Department, Ouyang Ruochen's little girl unexpectedly transformed into the shopkeeper of the Royal Carriage and Horse Shop.Leveraging the wind of the Royal Chariots, the business of the Ouyang Family's Escort Bureau expanded rapidly across the country. By last month, the signs of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau had covered more than 700 cities, large and small, in the nine counties of the empire.As a result, the Ouyang family became the largest family in the capital.
What's more, as the shopkeeper of the Royal Carriage and Horse Company, Ouyang Ruochen holds great power, and he almost completely monopolizes the postal, courier, and escort business.Ordinary civilians, even if they come from a wealthy family, who would dare to compete with the Royal Household Office for business, wouldn't they be looking for trouble when they are full and have nothing to do.
At the same time, various information shows that the Nangong family seems to have followed in Ye Tian's footsteps. Although they haven't received any benefits from the Royal Household Department, the cold and high-spirited woman who wants to come to Nangong Feiyan has clearly become Ye Tian's favorite. Ban Luan.
And Murong Qi is also very abnormal recently, he always goes to Yuhu Xiyuan once in a while, no one knows what is the reason.
