"The lowest price for this piece of top-grade ambergris is 100,000 taels!!!”
After Shopkeeper Li finished introducing the origin of the premium ambergris, he immediately shouted out the highest price for the day!
Wei Zixian, who had regained his senses, narrowed his eyes. He could give up everything else, including that piece of top-grade ambergris that others regarded as a priceless treasure.
However, he was determined to get the vines on the box and the few cornhusks today!
"A Flood Dragon Glass Bottle, a Phoenix Glass Bottle, and a Qilin Glass Bottle!”
Wei Zixian immediately took out three glass cups that were one palm long and half a palm wide from the inner pocket of his left sleeve. They were blue, red, and black respectively, and they looked like dragons, phoenixes, and qilins. He placed them on the table in front of him.
The maidservant who was standing at the side and serving Wei Zixian at all times saw the three lifelike, crystal clear glass cups, and her eyes were filled with shock.
"Take it and have it appraised."
Wei Zixian said calmly.
"Yes, sir!"
Only then did the maid at the side come back to her senses and look at Wei Zixian with reverence.
Then, he carefully and cautiously picked up the three dragon, phoenix, and qilin glass cups in front of him.
If these three dragon, phoenix, and qilin glass bottles were damaged, even if she sold her entire family, she would not be able to compensate for the loss.
After a moment, Manager Li, who had finished the appraisal, immediately announced excitedly,"
"Scholar Yan has bid for the peerless Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Glass Bottles, worth two hundred thousand taels!!!”
"Is there anyone who can go beyond this price?!!”
As soon as Manager Li finished speaking, another very arrogant voice sounded,
"210,000 taels!"
Wei Zixian frowned slightly and glanced at Young Master Hu diagonally across him. Then, he took out another red-crane-shaped glass bottle from the inner pocket of his right sleeve and said coldly,
"Add another Immortal Crane Glazed Cup!"
"The total price of the Immortal Crane Glazed Cup is thirty thousand taels. Scholar Yan has offered a total of two hundred and thirty thousand taels!”
After checking the price of the Immortal Crane Glass Bottle, Manager Li shouted again.
"250,000 taels, this Ambergris must be mine!!!”
Pa!
Young Master Hu put away his folding fan and said in a domineering manner.
Wei Zixian didn't even look at the other party and directly took out all the glass items from the inner pockets of his left and right sleeves.
"Add one Longevity Deer Glass Bottle, one Pegasus Glass Bottle, and nine Nine-Colored Glass Beads!”
He had never been afraid of money!!
Others used gold and silver as money, but he used glass as money!!!
At least glass was really valuable in this era of glass!
To a certain extent, it was even more valuable than ordinary gold and silver!
Coincidentally, as a science graduate student, he knew a little about the technology of making glass in a small blast furnace. That was very reasonable and normal.
The glassware that he used as money to spend now and the glassware that he used to spend money on were made by him using a small blast furnace in his simple laboratory.
This was also the reason why he never cared about the salary of the original academician of the Imperial College or the salary of the scholar of the Imperial Academy.
In this era, he had plenty of ways to earn money, and he could even earn money that could rival a country!
However, for him, material enjoyment was not particularly important. Although he had a desire for food, he would not pursue it too much.
As long as there was a front yard and a back field, he could use a few more rooms as his laboratory and study.
As long as the place was quiet, it would not attract the attention of others when he was doing experiments.
This was also the reason why he bought a house in a remote corner of Nanjing.
Therefore, other than spending a lot of money to buy these overseas merchants 'goods, there were not many places where he could use the money.
"The Longevity Deer Glass Bottle, the Pegasus Glass Bottle, and the Nine-Colored Glass Bead are worth a total of 70,000 taels!”
"Scholar Yan has bid a total of 300,000 taels!!!”
After checking the value of the corresponding glass bottle, Shopkeeper Li looked up at Young Master Hu on the second floor with some difficulty.
Hearing Manager Li's bid, Young Master Hu pushed Mei Ji away and glared at Wei Zixian angrily."
" My father is the Prime Minister!!!"
"I'm the Prime Minister's son, Hu Wen 'an.!!”
Wei Zixian raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the other party with a hint of surprise.
'My father is the prime minister' was not exactly the same as a famous saying in his previous life. It could only be said to be completely identical.
In addition,'Prime Minister's Son Hu Wenan' meant that his father was the current Prime Minister Hu Weiyong?!!
No wonder he dared to be so arrogant. Even the small trade fair jointly organized by several major business groups had to give him face and try to follow his wishes.
His father, Hu Weiyong, was much more arrogant than him. In the end, he was so arrogant that he challenged Old Zhu's imperial power!
Then, he was executed by Old Zhu for treason.
Wei Zixian looked at Hu Wenan with pity in his eyes. The grasshopper after autumn would not last for a few days.
"I think the highest bidder will get it, not the one with the highest status.”
"If Young Master Hu can offer a higher price, then I will continue to follow.”
"If there is no higher bid, then Manager Li, please announce the result.”
Wei Zixian's gaze landed on Shopkeeper Li, who was standing in front of the trading table on the first floor, and he said with an indifferent expression.
"This…"
Shopkeeper Li, who was standing in front of the trading table, turned his gaze to Hu Wen 'an, who was on the second floor. He looked hesitant and found it difficult to speak.
Hu Wenan was so angry that he laughed. Ever since his father became the Left Prime Minister, he had never met anyone who did not give him face!
"Good! Good! Good!"
"This is the first time I've seen someone who doesn't give me face!!!”
"Go ahead and buy! I want to see if you can take it back!!!”
After saying that, he kicked the table in front of him and left angrily.
"Scholar Yan, you've gotten yourself into big trouble.”
Manager Li, who was downstairs, saw Hu Wenan leave and immediately looked at Wei Zixian with a bitter smile.
"It's fine. He's not a problem.”
"If no one else raises the bid, I'll have to trouble Manager Li to announce the result.”
Wei Zixian waved his hand indifferently and urged him slightly.
If he didn't get the vines and corn on the box immediately, he wouldn't be at ease.
"Sigh, since Scholar Yan isn't afraid of trouble, that's for the best.”
Shopkeeper Li sighed slightly, then looked up at the other merchants on the second floor and said,"
"Then, is there anyone else who offered a higher price than Scholar Yan?!!”
"If not, then I announce that this piece of top-grade ambergris belongs to Scholar Yan!!!”
