Beast Summoner
Chapter 1019 The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment
It can be said that VIP Room 021 stole the show in today's auction. The money was spent like water, and the whole black market was spread.
People like this who are willing to risk their lives and spend money are considered the most distinguished customers in the black market. Just a little of this kind of people slipping through the cracks of their fingers is enough for Manager Lin to fill his stomach.
"You guys chat, I'm leaving first. If you need anything, come to me anytime." After Manager Lin sent the group to VIP Room No. 021, he left out very consciously.
Manager Lin is not afraid of these people's private transactions. One is that the box of gold coins is still in their hands, and the other is that by spending money in VIP Room 021, there will be no difference in handling fees, so there is no need to make secret transactions.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Once discovered, it is not a trivial matter. It can range from a beating to a fine, or even your life may be at risk.
The black market has black market rules. If one person doesn't abide by it, there will be a second person. If they are not severely punished, the consequences will be disastrous and the black market will become a joke.
When he saw someone bringing in the seller and Morgan Harris, Li Zhenbang was still very pleased. It proved that Morgan Harris was not as aggressive as he said, and he probably spent the money well.
"Why do you want to see me? If you want to buy that box of gold coins, can't you just auction it? Why do you have to see me?" the seller asked straight to the point.
Li Zhenbang was stunned and looked at Morgan Harris. He thought that Morgan Harris would explain it clearly to the seller, but he didn't expect that the seller turned a blind eye and didn't know anything.
Morgan Harris was also confused. He thought Manager Lin had communicated with the seller, so he didn't say anything along the way.
Now it seems that Manager Lin was probably afraid of trouble or the seller's disapproval, so he didn't clearly explain the reason for the meeting to the seller. He probably just said that someone was interested in gold coins, but he wanted to meet in person.
"Please sit down and have a drink?" Seeing the embarrassed and somewhat annoyed look Morgan Harris looked at him, Li Zhenbang made a guess. He did not blame Morgan Harris, but picked up the decanter and put it on the table.
An empty goblet was filled with a third of red wine.
"I won't drink wine. Let me declare first that I will not lower the price of gold coins just because the auction fails." The seller shook his head and refused.
"Don't worry, we can buy your gold coins for 200,000 gold coins... But we still have some things to ask you." Li Zhenbang took a sip of the red wine in front of him and said elegantly.
The seller could see that the elegance shown by the man in front of him came from the heart and was not pretended. Generally, such people are often from aristocratic backgrounds, and such people often don't care too much about money. Two hundred thousand yuan is not enough for such a person.
For people, it’s just a drop in the bucket.
"Are you really willing to pay 200,000 gold coins?" The seller looked at Li Zhenbang with some uncertainty. This money was very important to him, and he couldn't help but confirm it again.
"Of course, the premise is that you answer our questions honestly. If your answer satisfies us, maybe we will give you an extra sum of money. But if you hide something or lie, then the business will be lost.
Done." Li Zhenbang shook the goblet in his hand.
"Are you really going to pay more?" The seller looked at Li Zhenbang with burning eyes.
"Then it depends on whether your information is valuable." Li Zhenbang raised his eyebrows.
"How much can you add?" The seller looked at Li Zhenbang nervously.
"How much do you need?" Li Zhenbang asked.
"I need..." The seller was stunned for a moment, "How do you know I need money?"
"There are only 1,800 gold coins in this box, right? Anyone who dares to sell 1,800 gold coins at this price is either crazy or needs money urgently. I really can't think of any other reasons.
"Li Zhenbang is sure that neither this person nor the auction organizer knows what the Dragon God Coin is, otherwise the auction organizer will definitely make a fuss about it.
Having had many contacts with auction houses, Li Zhenbang cannot be said to be knowledgeable about auctions, but he is still very knowledgeable about some things.
Some auction items may just be a bit unusual or eye-catching, and not very valuable in themselves, but the auction house will still agree to the seller's auction, but the starting price will be set very high or the guaranteed price will be set very high.
In this way, the auction will basically fail in the end, and the result of the failed auction is that the seller has to pay a part of the commission. You can’t let people’s work go in vain, right?
This fee is related to the starting price or guaranteed reserve price of the lot. The higher the starting price or guaranteed reserve price, the higher the commission will naturally be.
Obviously, the seller in front of him was deceived by the organizer of this auction. Even the organizer couldn't think of a way to increase the selling point of the lot. How could he sell it at a good price?
"This box of gold coins is actually very valuable!" The seller still wanted to argue.
"Then tell me, what is the value of this box of gold coins?" Li Zhenbang asked instead without arguing.
"It's valuable... It's valuable... This is a gold coin from ancient times. It has high research value, so it is very valuable." The seller really didn't know what to say, so he thought about it and remembered the long time mentioned in the auction.
It has very high research value.
"Since the research value is so high, why doesn't anyone buy it?" Li Zhenbang crossed his arms on his chest and raised his eyebrows.
"Because...because they are not people doing research!" the seller argued.
"If I'm not wrong, you should have tried these gold coins in regular auction houses, right?" Li Zhenbang asked.
The seller didn't say anything, obviously agreeing with Li Zhenbang's statement.
"If nothing else, either the price is too low to meet your needs, or the auction house thinks it can't sell for a high price and won't give you a chance to auction it, right?" Li Zhenbang continued to ask.
"I believe you also know that the people in the world who like to study the most are magicians. Even the price of these gold coins from the Magicians Guild will not exceed 100,000 gold coins!"
The seller pursed his lips. What the man in front of him said was not wrong at all. He had tried several times, and the highest price was only 70,000 gold coins, and it was proposed by a magician.
If he hadn't been in urgent need of money, he wouldn't have sold these gold coins. If his shortfall hadn't been too big, he might have sold them for 70,000 gold coins.
"Then how much money can you give me?" The seller sighed, raised his head, and looked at Li Zhenbang with a longing look on his face.
"How much money do you need? I still say the same thing, how much money I will give you depends on how much the information you give me is worth. To be honest, what I value is not these gold coins, but the stories behind these gold coins." Li Zhenbang picked up the money.
I shook the wine glass and took a small sip.
"I need 400,000 gold coins, can you afford it?" The seller looked at Li Zhenbang nervously.
"You really dare to open your mouth like a lion!" Li Zhenbang's voice was slightly harsh, but he didn't show anything unusual about the price.
"Then...then...it needs at least 300,000 gold coins, no less! Let me tell you the truth! My family members are sick, and they are all waiting for money to save their lives! I really have no choice, so I passed on my ancestors.
The gold coins that came down were put up for auction." The seller's voice sounded like he was crying.
"Handed down from ancestors?" Li Zhenbang stiffened. If it was really handed down from ancestors, maybe the story behind it would be of little value.
"Yes, I didn't lie to you. It's been at least more than a hundred years since I was born." The seller was afraid that Li Zhenbang wouldn't believe it, so he hurriedly explained.
Li Zhenbang and Omega looked at each other, feeling a little disappointed. It seemed that it was unrealistic to find news about the Dragon God or the Dragon God's treasure in this person.
Li Zhenbang took a deep breath. Even if there were no useful clues, it was still better than nothing. However, Li Zhenbang did not continue to ask, but turned to look at Morgan Harris.
"You guys chat, I'll take them out to get some fresh air first." Morgan Harris understood and reached out to pull the five girls out.
The five girls tried their best to hide behind, saying nothing and going out with Morgan Harris.
"You go out with him first. I said I would send you back to the Carlo Empire and I won't break my promise, but you don't want to cause trouble for me either." Li Zhenbang said a little irritably.
Although what he was going to say to the seller might not be of much value, he still didn't want outsiders to know. It might not have any impact if these five girls stayed here, but if it did, how could he still kill people and silence them?
The five girls looked at Li Zhenbang, pursed their lips, and had no choice but to follow Morgan Harris out of the VIP room. They didn't know whether what the person in front of them said was true or false, but for them, it was a life-saving straw after all, in case this
What people say is true!
Only Li Zhenbang, Omega and the seller were left in the room. Li Zhenbang sighed, "Tell me the story of this box of gold coins!"
"The three hundred thousand gold coins..." The seller looked at Li Zhenbang nervously.
"You have to tell everything you know as clearly as possible without missing any details. Of course, you don't have to make it up out of thin air. What I want is authenticity! If what you say is valuable, then I can give you 400,000
Gold coins." Li Zhenbang said in a deep voice.
"Thank you! Thank you! You are a great benefactor to my whole family!" The seller knelt down to Li Zhenbang with a thud and kowtowed three times.
Li Zhenbang looked at the seller in front of him in embarrassment. Good guy, he didn't even say his horoscope, but he kowtowed to himself three times. But it can also be seen from this that this seller must have encountered difficulties at home.
"Tell me the origin of these gold coins!" Omega interrupted and asked, helping Li Zhenbang resolve his embarrassment.
"The origin of these gold coins begins with my great-grandfather..."
