With the steady development of Tang Daily, more and more people learned about Lord Tang En's development plan and started to actively invest in it — for the sake of the generous salary.
Even Fiona and Tang En didn't expect the appeal of Tang Daily to be so strong. After recruiting a large number of people, the steel mill project was in full swing.
As the steel mill gradually took shape, the Datang Chamber of Commerce also caused a huge wave in the mountain city of Bein.
After Hilton and Thomas purchased a shop, they distributed flyers on the streets according to Tang En's instructions. Just as Tang En expected, almost everyone fought to get their hands on the flyers. As a result, the popularity of the shop named 'Tang Daily' instantly surpassed many of the older shops in Bein. As a result, the shops in Tang Daily welcomed waves of hot sales.
And today, the Datang Chamber of Commerce would bring about a second wave …
Bei Yin, the Golden Stone Auction House under the Star Diamond Bank was filled with invited guests. Even the poorest among these guests was a millionaire with a net worth of tens of thousands of gold coins, not to mention those rich nobles with millions of gold coins.
On the auction stage in the middle, a round of auctions had just ended. The short Goblin auctioneer was very satisfied with the previous auction items. He believed that the next item would also make the nobles obediently take out their gold coins from their pockets.
"The next item to be auctioned is a treasure from the Elves provided by the Datang Chamber of Commerce — a bottle of New Moon Wine!"
As the auctioneer's voice trailed off, the nobles who had already received the news perked up, and their eyes glowed. To these people, the amount of wealth didn't have much meaning. It couldn't differentiate them from the other rich people. Competing with financial resources was no longer their goal. Instead, it was replaced by all kinds of rare items.
For example, a quill used by a famous Mage, a stool used by a Legendary hero, or a famous painting passed down from the countries before the War of Chaos.
Without a doubt, the New Moon Wine of the Elves was one of them.
Normally, the Golden Stone Auction House would not reveal the supplier of the auction items, but this time, under Hilton's request, they specifically mentioned the Datang Chamber of Commerce. In Tang En's words, it would be idiotic to give up this free advertising opportunity.
"Datang Chamber of Commerce? Isn't it the Chamber of Commerce that sent people to distribute flyers on the street a few days ago? "
"I've been to that Chamber of Commerce's shop. Although they don't sell much, their mint candies taste really good.
Yes, I bought a big box. I eat it every day now. My wives like it too. I have to say, after eating that mint candy, the feeling of kissing them is different. "
"Not bad. Other than the peppermints, the soap they sell is also very good. My servant said that it's especially good for washing clothes and makes them very clean."
Another rich man said with a look of disdain, "The soap is nothing. The mint soap they sell is the real good! My servant now uses a piece of mint soap that costs one gold coin to wash clothes. Not only is it clean, but the clothes also have a fragrance on them after washing. "
Therefore, the rich man who used the soap before felt embarrassed. He secretly made up his mind to buy a box of mint soap after the auction was over.
"Speaking of which, this New Moon Wine is from the Elves, right? The Elves have basically disappeared in recent years. How can their things be spread out? "
"That's normal. Sometimes in the towns on the edge of the Emerald Forest, the Elves can occasionally be seen exchanging things. It's said that the Datang Chamber of Commerce is from Ellington, right? That place is not far from the Emerald Forest. "
"Although it's at the edge of the Emerald Forest, after so many years of peace, it seems that the slave hunters are ready to make trouble again. What a bunch of idiots. Aren't they afraid of angering the Gods again?"
"I'm afraid the Elves will go into hiding again. Can we really trade with the Elves in Ellington?"
"If we can't trade, where did this bottle of New Moon Wine come from?"
"Maybe it was snatched by one of the slave hunters … …"
The gnome host listened to the discussions below and nodded in satisfaction. So what if these humans are arrogant? Now, don't they still have to look at the face of the great gnome race?
Ah! Great leader Liviz Goldtooth, you really are the savior of the gnome race!
After praising Liviz Goldtooth in his heart, the gnome host knocked on his hammer and shouted, "I believe I don't need to introduce the great name of New Moon Wine. Every noble with taste and background knows its value. Now, this bottle of New Moon Wine provided by the Datang Chamber of Commerce will be auctioned. The starting price is five thousand gold coins, and the minimum bid increment is one hundred gold coins!"
"Five thousand five hundred gold coins!"
"Pauper, get lost! That's New Moon Wine! You want to buy it for five thousand five hundred gold coins!? Seven thousand gold coins! "
"You're the pauper! How would you understand the value of New Moon Wine? Nine thousand five hundred gold coins! "
"Eleven thousand gold coins! This bottle of wine is mine! "
With these people arguing, the price of the New Moon Wine kept increasing, quickly surpassing ten thousand gold coins. The goblin host on the stage revealed a grin and his golden teeth sparkled under the illumination of the Magic Crystal Lamp.
Hilton and Thomas' faces were red with excitement. As long as the price surpassed ten thousand gold coins, they would make a profit from this auction. It was just a matter of how much they made.
Very soon, the price approached fifteen thousand gold coins. Hilton's breathing became faster, this was an unimaginable sky high price!
Previously, Twain had only learned from Hogg that a bottle of New Moon Wine cost 10,000 gold coins, but he had neglected one point. The rarer something was, the more expensive it was. Under the situation where the Elves were in seclusion, this price was already a thing of the past.
Suddenly, a calm voice rang out, "Two hundred … …"
"Puchi … …"
The people below couldn't help laughing.
Their companion's expression changed, "Idiot! You're not allowed to laugh! That is the lord mister Douglas! "
That person instantly covered their mouth.
Douglas then said, "Two hundred … … star diamond crystal coins, this is the currency introduced by your Star Diamond Bank. Don't tell me you don't want it."
"Yes! Of course! "
The gnome host grinned and said, "Mister Douglas has bid twenty thousand gold coins, is there anyone else?"
"Everyone, please give me some face. I want to celebrate my son's birthday, and I need this bottle of New Moon Wine to bless him."
"Haha, mister lord is too serious. Since mister lord has spoken, of course we won't fight for this bottle of wine with mister lord."
"That's right. Speaking of which, Mister Carl's birthday is coming soon. Mister Carl's strength has improved greatly this year, he should be about to enter the dark iron rank, right? He is indeed the number one genius of our Bayin City! "
"What kind of outdated news are you talking about? Mister Carl has already entered the dark iron rank! "
"Heavens! He is only twenty-six years old this year! If he has already entered the dark iron rank, doesn't that mean he has a chance of becoming a gold warrior when he is sixty years old?! "
"Sixty years old? Tsk, you underestimate Mister Carl's talent too much. I bet he will definitely enter the gold rank when he is fifty years old — if he doesn't run away from home! "
Douglas was originally smiling as he listened to them discuss his son, but when he heard this, his face instantly darkened …
That's right, Douglas' son, Carl Bolet, was a famous genius in the mountain city. He awakened his warrior talent when he was only fifteen years old, and became a bronze-rank expert when he was twenty years old. A while ago, he successfully broke through and entered the dark iron rank.
Carl was young, handsome, and talented. He had good potential, and came from a prestigious family. He was known as the young lady killer and the dream lover of Bayin City, but the only bad thing was …
He didn't like to stay at home. In his words, the world was so big, and he wanted to see it.
He wanted to become a bard and travel around the world, taste good food, listen to stories, and pass on interesting news from different places to others …
Carl's growth process was the process of him running away from home and fighting against his father, Douglas. It was during this process that Carl's strength increased rapidly under pressure in order to fight against his silver-rank father …
As the discussion gradually died down, that bottle of New Moon Wine finally fell into Douglas' hands at the price of 20,000 gold coins.
"Thank you for your concession, everyone. Tomorrow is my son's birthday. The Lord's Mansion will host a banquet, and I welcome everyone to attend."
"Of course, of course! Of course we won't miss Mister Carl's birthday banquet! "
"As long as the Lord doesn't despise our gifts for being cheap …"
At this time, the Goblin host coughed a few times, and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Next, Miss Hilton of the Datang Chamber of Commerce would like to say a few words to everyone after the auction."
Hilton walked up the stage with a smile, and bowed very elegantly. She said, "First of all, congratulations to Lord Douglas for winning the New Moon Wine. At the same time, I also wish your son a happy birthday. I can assure you that this bottle of genuine New Moon Wine will add a lot of splendor to tomorrow's banquet."
Douglas smiled. "The price doesn't matter, as long as this wine is genuine."
"Of course, we don't dare to sell fake goods at the Golden Stone Auction House. Otherwise, we will ruin the reputation of the Star Diamond Bank, and even the Megalosaurus will come after us."
Hilton was humorous, and everyone laughed. Then, she changed the topic. "We have seen everyone's eagerness for the New Moon Wine today. New Moon Wine can be said to be a treasure among wines, and I understand everyone's eagerness to get their hands on it.
"Therefore, I want to tell everyone a piece of good news. Our Tang Dynasty shop will take out a bottle of New Moon Wine for auction every month, and it will only be available for one year. After that, it will no longer be available. We invite everyone to participate."
"Sss — one bottle every month!? One year!? You're not bragging, right?! "
"Of course not! We, the Datang Chamber of Commerce, always keep our word! "
Hilton said very seriously. "In order to prove our sincerity, tomorrow, which is the birthday banquet of Mister Carl, the Datang Chamber of Commerce will represent the Lord of Ellington, Mr. Tang En, to present a bottle of New Moon Wine for everyone to taste!"
Boom!
The people below instantly exploded. They no longer doubted the authenticity of Hilton's words, and they excitedly looked forward to tomorrow's banquet. = = = PS: Vote vote vote ~
