Chapter 850 Raising the Price

In the end, the Crimson Tears were sold at a price of 9,000 Galleons. Obviously, the pirates were still very sensible, while the merchants got a big deal.

Such a diamond, if it changes hands for a while, it will double the profit.

Even, if it is cut and made into exquisite jewelry, the benefits will be several times or even dozens of times!

Only such benefits will attract businessmen to ignore the dangers along the way and rush forward one after another.

Bill and Wilson stared wide-eyed, watching each rare item being auctioned, almost every item was priced at no less than five thousand gold galleons.

Of course, there are also some weird things, because there is really no practical use, and the bad luck of being unsuccessful in the end.

"Next, please invite us to auction item No. 13, a fragment of a treasure map..."

The voice of the master of ceremonies was provocative: "As we all know, pirate groups like to hide their wealth somewhere on a deserted island for later discovery... Although the treasure map auctioned this time is only a fragment, according to the seller The news came from the Solo Pirates! Our auction house can guarantee this!"

"The Solo Pirates? Is that the pirate gang that once ruled the Solomon Strait?"

Formosa, a big businessman from Sissel, stood up with an excited expression.

"Oh my god... the leader of the Solo pirate group is the man who claims to be the closest to the evil god. His power scared all the sea powers at that time, and he even almost became the pirate king!"

Exclamations also came from the Trident Pirates.

"Ahem... However, although our auction house guarantees that this treasure map is indeed from the Solo Pirates, it is not sure about its income... However, judging from the extraordinary power entrenched on it, it should not point to What kind of little treasure is right..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was mobilized, the master of ceremonies was very satisfied, and immediately emphasized the danger: "...I only have a fragment in my hand, which is about a quarter to a fifth of the original picture, but...according to According to our appraiser, there is a blessing of fate on the treasure map, so that it will be reunited with its brother one day!"

After all, he is the auctioneer of the auction house, and he is trying to exaggerate the income and reduce the risk inside and outside the words.

"Okay, for a piece of the mysterious treasure map fragment, the starting price is one thousand Galleons, and each increase must not be less than one hundred Galleons!"

The master of ceremonies waved his hand.

"Two thousand gold Galleons!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Formosa waved his hand.

"Two thousand one hundred!"

The Trident Pirates raised their prices immediately.

"Two thousand two hundred!"

...

Fang Yuan watched this scene coldly, stretched out his hand into his bosom, and tightly grasped a fragment of a treasure map.

The scent of the fragment he picked up from the book cover was very similar to the one being auctioned, making him sure that the two came from the same whole.

"The Solo Pirates, the pirates entrenched in the Solomon Strait... are also famous in history. Their leader is a man like a god, and they own a legendary ship..."

After confirming that the treasure map in his arms was related to the Solo Pirates, Fang Yuan suddenly became concerned.

In terms of financial resources, he who just ransacked a port is not inferior to anyone present.

The fierce bidding was chasing after each other, but it gradually subsided when it was around five thousand gold Galleons.

Obviously, neither pirates nor businessmen are fools, knowing that this has reached the limit of this treasure map.

Even if it is the treasure map of the Solo Pirates, first of all, it is just a fragment, and its value is greatly reduced. Immediately, the target it points to is also very uncertain. The combination of these two factors determines the treasure map. It is basically impossible to shoot a high price for a picture.

"Five thousand three hundred gold Galleons once! Is there any more?"

The master of ceremonies tugged at the collar very excitedly, obviously the price was far beyond his expectations.

"Five thousand three hundred gold Galleons, the second time, it seems that this treasure map will soon belong to our big businessman from Sissel, Formosa..."

Just as he was about to hit the hammer, a voice came in: "Wait a minute, I'll offer five thousand four hundred!"

"Um?"

Formosa's originally calm smile changed, and when he looked at Sisfrey who made the bid, he gritted his teeth: "Six thousand gold Galleons!"

"Seven thousand!"

Sisfrey didn't even bat an eye, and directly quoted a high price.

This scene frightened Formosa instead.

After all, although he was rich, he was undoubtedly at a loss for spending so much to buy a fragment of a treasure map.

"Seven thousand one hundred gold Galleons!"

Thinking of this, Formosa raised the price again: "This is my final bottom line. I'm just interested in everything about Solomon. If Sisfrey's bid is still higher than mine, I'll give it to you." !"

"Since you have said so, Formosa!"

Sisfrey touched his two whiskers: "Seven thousand two hundred gold Galleons!!!"

Hearing this, Formosa immediately sat down expressionlessly.

"Okay, then this treasure map belongs to..."

The master of ceremonies coughed, and just about to announce the final result, Fang Yuan's lazy voice sounded again: "Ten thousand Galleons!"

"What?"

The master of ceremonies almost choked on his own saliva: "Sir over there, are you sure your bid is 10,000 Galleons?"

"That's right... I'm not as stingy as some people!"

Fang Yuan glanced at Sisfrey, and spoke contemptuously, making the fat on the slave trader's body tremble with anger.

"good very good!"

Sisfrey cursed fiercely, and continued to bid: "Eleven thousand gold Galleons!"

"Twelve thousand!"

Fang Yuan followed unceremoniously.

It wasn't until this time that Formosa and the original bidders were surprised to find that there were still many people who were really interested in this fragment, and complex expressions flashed in their eyes.

...

"Fifteen thousand gold Galleons!"

Sisfrey spat out a number fiercely, his eyes looking at Fang Yuan seemed to be bloodshot.

"Since you are looking at me so sincerely, okay..." Fang Yuan spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and sat back on the chair: "Then I will give it to you! Come on, let us treat the big slave Shang Xi Cheers Sfrey!"

The pirates were all characters who were afraid of chaos, so they whistled playfully.

In their view, this trickster who had conflicts with Sisfrey used his words to play a trick on the slave trader.

Forcing him to pay a higher price to buy this seemingly useless treasure map fragment is indeed a wonderful scene.

"good very good!"

If before the great slave merchant saw Fang Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, now it was really like a knife, wishing to cut off a few pieces of flesh directly from Fang Yuan's body.

"Ahem..."

The master of ceremonies quickly smoothed things over: "Everyone... Next, it's our auction house's repertoire - the slave auction. First of all, there are plantation slaves in groups of a hundred. Each of them is a good farmer, and They are docile and will not resist, they are definitely the first choice of plantation owners, there are ten groups in total, each group will be auctioned separately, and the reserve price is one thousand galleons!"

The slave trade is a forbidden area of ​​the Insman Kingdom, which claims to be a civilized gentleman.

As early as more than ten years ago, the king signed a law to pardon all native slaves and give them a free status.

Of course, some employees who work in sweatshops are not even treated as well as slaves in plantations, so there is no need to worry too much about this.

However, although Insman banned slaves locally, the demand for slaves has always been the largest in various tropical plantations and even foreign factories.

In this regard, Blackbeard holds the largest share and is the notorious leader of the slave trader.

In his territory, slaves can be sold openly.

For example, at this time, these slaves are indeed docile, and they have mastered a certain skill, and the price is very favorable, and they are immediately divided up by various ship owners.

After batches of ordinary slaves were sold, it was the turn of the real high-level slaves, and Helga was among them. Of course, there were also a few particularly beautiful female slaves.

"Senior slave, Helga, who masters navigation and is an excellent navigator. The starting price is one thousand galleons!"

The master of ceremonies waved his hands and asked two strong men to lift a slave up.

Fang Yuan took a closer look, this Helge was probably less than thirty years old, with wheat-colored skin, a strong chest, two small beards, distinct facial features, and a cynical smile on the corner of his mouth, he was indeed very attractive.

"Helga!"

Wilson, who was next to him, was yelling loudly at this time, almost rushing to the display stand.

"Damn! Butcher!"

Fang Yuan covered his face and gestured.

Wilson suddenly felt a mountain-like black shadow pressing down, and he couldn't move at once.

"Eleven hundred!"

...

The auction continued, and within a short period of time, the asking price had reached fifteen hundred gold galleons.

"I'll give... three thousand Galleons!"

Fang Yuan suddenly made a sound, directly doubled the price, and gave Sisfrey a provocative look.

The big slave trader, who was still panting heavily, was about to raise the price, suddenly shuddered, thinking of the previous incident.

After all, this slave is only a friend of the other party's third mate, not the captain's friend, so it may not be very important, otherwise he would have paid for the ransom.

What if, this is the opponent's scheme again?

At that time, what's the point of buying your own slave at a higher price? Is it free to give away the auction house twice?

He hesitated for a moment.

But for other ship owners, the three thousand gold Galleons have already far exceeded the real value of slaves, so naturally they will not be taken advantage of. Moreover, everyone thought it was Fang Yuan's trap, and no fool came here. step on.

"Boss, thank you!"

When the final decision was made, Wilson looked at Fang Yuan with gratitude.

"You are Welcome……"

Fang Yuan waved his hand and stared at the auction table. At this time, the auction of slaves had reached its final stage, and his entrusted items were also on the stage.

"Next, it will be the finale of our slave auction, a noble daughter, Miss Elizabeth from Insman!"

The master of ceremonies shouted at the top of his voice.
