Heroes of Silver Moon
Chapter 339: : Banquets & Auctions (1)
Shaking the wooden wine glass in his hand, staring at Simon on the other side of the banquet table, Valery frowned deeply, as if he was thinking about something.
After Xi Weier brought back the ransom, that night, a sumptuous banquet was held in the camp of the Hawke family to reward the soldiers who had just won the battle.
While Valeri and his retainers were happily drinking ale, Simon seemed to suddenly think of something, so he whispered a few words in Valeri's ear.
Let the other retainers in the camp go outside to condolences to the other soldiers. In the main camp, only Simon and Valery are left.
"You want me to hold another banquet tomorrow and invite all the nobles in the capital to participate," Valery said with a frown.
Holding a banquet is very expensive, and Valery really couldn't figure out why he had to spend his own money to hold a banquet that all nobles could participate in.
"Yes," Simon nodded seriously.
When he saw the banquet tonight, he suddenly had an inspiration. If it was done properly, it might be able to alleviate the financial crisis of the Hawke family.
"Why?" Valery asked suspiciously.
In his impression, this eldest son is a very smart person, and he will never waste money and time on meaningless things.
"First, the Hawke family is located in a desolate place, and their presence and influence have always been low."
"Now that the Hawke family has just defeated the Hood family, taking advantage of the limelight, we invite all the nobles in the capital to the banquet, which can not only make new friends, but also increase the political influence of the Hawke family."
"Second, I would like to take this opportunity to hold an auction during the banquet to auction off an elf sword"
Looking straight into his father's eyes, Simon said confidently.
"Hmm~" After hearing Simon's explanation, Valery fell into deep thought again.
After thinking for a while, Valery raised his head and said, "The Hawke family doesn't need political influence in the capital.
Moreover, how much money can be auctioned for a mere elven long sword, one thousand gold coins or two thousand gold coins. You must know that holding a banquet of that scale will cost at least four to five thousand gold coins! "
"Hey", Simon sighed in his heart when he heard his father's answer.
My own father has really bad sense of politics!
Indeed, from the looks of it, the Hawke family located in the Gru Mountains doesn't need to take care of the nobles on the capital side, they only need to establish a good relationship with the nearby lords.
However, this is only on the surface.
In fact, from the moment he, the heir of the Hawke family, came to Wangdu to go to school, the Hawke family had to be in touch with Wangdu.
Coming to the capital to go to school is not only to learn things, but also to make more political friends.
For the aristocrats, if they go to school purely for the sake of going to school, that is the real putting the cart before the horse!
Now Valery obviously didn't realize this.
Moreover, the value of an antique long sword from the elf period is indeed one or two thousand gold coins.
However, this is only under normal circumstances. What is the most important thing for antiques? It is its treasure degree and its implication meaning.
This elven long sword is just as precious as it is. It is precious if you say it is precious, and it is not ordinary if you say it.
But the meaning contained in it is something that ordinary antiques do not have!
This elven long sword is the reason for their war between the Hawk family and the Hood family!
Based on this meaning alone, Simon can be sure that this elven long sword can definitely auction off a lot of gold coins.
You know, unlike the Hawke family, quite a few of the nobles living in the capital are super rich!
"Father, please believe me, hosting this banquet is definitely worth the money," Simon said with certainty.
"Are you sure?" Valery looked at Simon.
"OK," Simon nodded seriously again.
"Alright then, I'll arrange it." Seeing Simon being so serious, Valery was finally convinced.
Since his eldest son wants to do this, let's do it!
Anyway, the big deal is to lose a few thousand gold coins!
After saluting farewell to his father, Simon then returned to the aristocratic area of the royal capital.
Guy and the others are still in the mansion of Grand Duke Gasepe. If he wants to successfully hold this auction, Simon has to ask these little friends to help him.
"Yo, long time no see, guys!"
After arriving at the mansion of Grand Duke Gaseppe, Simon naturally greeted Guy and the others.
"Hey, hey, you're too calm!" Seeing Simon so calm, the corners of Guy's mouth twitched.
You have been under house arrest for more than a month, and you were able to say hello so calmly when you came back!
"Hey, it's only been under house arrest for a month, what's the deal?" Simon casually pretended to be aggressive.
Hearing Simon's pretentiousness, Guy and others were even more speechless. Is this person an idiot? Or pure heart?
"By the way, there is something I want you to help~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ Is Mike there?" Scanning around, Simon asked suspiciously.
Mike's family is quite influential in the capital, and if tomorrow's banquet wants to be held beautifully, he must ask Mike to help.
"Mike is at my house, let me call for you, their mansion is also in the aristocratic area, not far from us," Harris said with a serious expression.
Unlike their group of "outsiders", they have no place to live, so they can only stay in this vacant mansion of Grand Duke Gaseppe.
Mike's family is a veteran aristocrat in the capital, so naturally they have a mansion in the aristocratic area!
Although we often gather here, when it gets dark, Mike also wants to go home!
"Oh, I'm sorry to trouble you," Simon thanked with a look of relief.
Hey, it's Harris who helps others after all, he's just a nice guy, not like some idiot Guy!
"Hey, are you thinking about something very rude?" Guy looked directly at Simon unhappily, as if telepathically.
"Hey, how could it be?" Simon laughed loudly, and directly dismissed Guy.
Not long after, Harris took Mike back to the mansion.
"You want my help?" Before Simon could speak, Mike guessed the truth.
"Tsk", Simon's face is pained, the brains of this group of bachelors really work.
Unlike some guys who take the warrior profession, Simon sneaked a glance at Guy and others.
"Hey, you are really thinking about something very rude!" Guy clenched his fists and said angrily.
"Hey, let's talk about business, talk about business," Simon wiped his cold sweat with a smile.
Ma De, why is Mao's intuition so powerful!
