Chapter 6. Precise Bid
An hour later, Char heard movement from above.
The guests took their seats and the auction officially began.
Francis Drake could not make it in time, but John limped back.
yes, I've checked. That lady is called Ortlinde. She's a believer.
As expected.
Char felt like she had raised a flag. He said he represented the abyss, and the people who destroyed the abyss came to kill him.
However, the expression of the first mate of the former pirate ship was a little strange.
"And they also said..."
"What did he say?"
"They said that Miss Ortlinde called you a 'Perverted Bandit'."
'F*ck, is he that ruthless?'
Char could not help but laugh.
John also laughed.
The difference was that Char was smiling bitterly, but John thought he understood what she meant, and he revealed a smile that all men understood.
'Forget it, this kind of thing can't be explained.'
Char waved his hand. "Where is she?"
"I think it's her first time in Astan City. I heard she went out for a walk."
Char understood.
When Ortlinde appeared, it was already the later stages of the Valkyrie selection. This damn place was basically destroyed.
If she really did recall something, it might be what this place looked like when it was in ruins.
"Do you have any other orders?" John asked.
Char looked at him curiously. This first mate was a good person, but not to this extent.
"What's wrong? What did you remember?"
"Please don't misunderstand. I found out something from Maica."
John smiled, "Although the Mushroom Man aren't worthy of a deep friendship, everyone knows how accurate their vision is. I don't think it's a bad thing to make friends with someone who makes him so scared."
"You're a better businessman than Maica," Char said with a smile.
"If it wasn't for life, who would be willing to do this?"
John laughed at himself.
A great man who yearned for the sea was now well-received everywhere. It could only be said that people were forced to be like this.
"If you want to say that, then I won't be polite. The Black Pearl Chamber of Commerce owns 60% of the shares of the Reeves Workshop in Astan City, right?" Char asked.
John thought to himself. 'How would I remember that?'
He took out a notebook.
The front of the book had all the big deals written down. He flipped through the pages, and the numbers became smaller and smaller. Finally, he found the Reeves Workshop on the second to last line.
After a brief moment of shock, John immediately took out a transfer agreement and signed it before handing it to Char.
It was as if Char was not asking for a shop, but a packet of tissues.
'It's so good to be friends with such a rich family!'
Char did not decline and immediately signed it.
As soon as the transfer was completed, the system notified him that he had obtained 75% of the shares of the Reeves Workshop, and he could now make changes to the industry and a series of modules.
He immediately changed the name of the Reeves Workshop to Rylai's Workship and transferred ownership to Rylai in his friend list.
It was comfortable.
Now, even if he was really removed from the list, Ortlinde would not be able to find the character "Char" even if she searched through Astan City.
Char was very familiar with how to erase his own traces.
After all, he had been hunted down by the entire human race for a period of time.
"Alright, let's go up now."
Only one or two items had been auctioned off, and the auction was still going on.
Andrew turned around and saw that Char had changed out of her female outfit, and was accompanied by John Hokin of the Black Pearl Chamber of Commerce.
"What's the situation? Didn't she say that she was going to change her clothes? Did he cross-dress to hook up with such a big shot?
John did not go to the private room on the second floor, but followed Char to Andrew's Place.
The small merchants of Ice City had never seen a big boss of this level. They suddenly felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles, and their expressions became stiff.
A few minutes later, Maica arrived.
The seats provided by the auction house on the first floor were not horizontal. Instead, they were four chairs around a round table.
The arrival of the ancient made the atmosphere awkward.
It was full.
He could not possibly sit on someone else's lap, could he?
Although it seemed feasible.
Although no one said anything, Andrew accurately found his position.
They were all big shots that he could not afford to offend.
He got up silently, but before he could leave, John came up and handed him a key with a pleasant expression.
"This is the door to room 4 on the second floor. Sorry to trouble you."
Andrew shivered, and his face almost twisted from the smile. He quickly thanked her and left.
After Maica stood on the stool, he became even angrier and stomped his feet twice to show his anger.
Char seemed to understand, and he asked, "You didn't get it back?"
"No, they said private transactions are prohibited."
"Sigh, so stupid." Char sighed.
"What did you just say?"
The thing the Mushroom Man could not tolerate the most was people insulting his intelligence, even though Char had done it a few times.
"I said you're so stupid." Char glanced at his partner. you can't bear to tell them that it's actually a fake, can you? "
"How could I be that stupid! You'll have to pay for the fraud!"
"Don't doubt me when I say you're stupid. Compared to the money, getting back what he wanted was more important. It was useless to just say 'I'm not selling', they would only think that you were planning to bypass them and make a private deal. Just admit it and pay the money. That way, we can force them to return the goods."
Hearing this, Maica was moved. He jumped down from the chair and left quickly, holding his head.
At this moment, the auctioneer pointed at an ancient magic armor and bragged about it. John's heart was also itching, and he grabbed the sign in his hand, ready to bid.
"There's no need." Char said, "It's a woman's soft armor. The officer next to your room is planning to buy it for his lover to play with. There's no need to fight with him.
"Oh?"
John put down the sign and looked at the second floor curiously.
"The starting bid is 400 gold coins. The bidding starts now!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the bidder from the second-floor room Char had mentioned called out a bid of 600 gold coins, and many people were rejected.
After a few rounds of fighting, this item was pushed to 800 gold coins.
"How much do you think it will fetch?" John asked.
"1201 gold coins." Char replied, raising the sign left behind by Maica and shouting, "1200 gold coins!"
"My hero, do you have that much money?" The young girl said in shock.
"No"
"Then why are you still screaming?"
"1201 gold coins!"
The voice from upstairs sounded rather impatient. This kind of increase in bid was obviously a sign of anger.
"I'll just randomly scream." Char smiled at her and put down the sign.
John was convinced.
The next item was a telescope made of mechanical craftsmanship, and John was instantly excited.
"Just bid 1000 gold coins and no one will fight with you," Char said.
John had absolute trust in him. After hearing the starting price of 400 gold coins, he immediately bid 1000 gold coins and bought it.
"Mr. Char, you're indeed a man of great skill." He praised.
"You flatter me."
After that, the next item was still being auctioned, and John looked over.
"If you don't interfere, I'll give 1800 gold coins to the fat woman in front of me on the left."
The ending was just as expected.
The next item...
"You want this, right?"
Without waiting for John to look over, Char said, "An extremely waterproof fish scale coat, an ancient magic equipment. You can buy it for 4500 gold. Of course, if you can intimidate the Chambers of Commerce from South Sea County with your momentum, 4000 gold coins will be enough."
After a slight hesitation, John chose the latter. As a result, he lost his momentum and was pushed to 5400 gold coins by his opponent.
"You also raised it to 5401 gold coins, and he was scared off." Char said.
John mimicked the man on the second floor and added one gold coin. As expected, no one else competed with him.
Round after round of auction items were up and down, and Char was right.
John's initial surprise turned into numbness, and then he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
After a short break, he couldn't help but praise, "How did you do it, sir?"
Char chuckled.
"I'll understand after seeing more."
It felt so good to be so pretentious.
A moment later, Maica returned, and the mushroom man's face was glowing red. He held the precious compass and placed it in front of Char.
"Come, reset it!"
