Chapter 214 Auction
This person is [-] meters tall, has two buns on his head, is wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, and with the baby fat on his face, he looks a bit cute.
This is... the maid under Zhao Shan?
Lin Xiaofan's eyes lit up.
The little maid is here, which means Zhao Shan is also here.
Maybe we can discuss this deal with Zhao Shan.
Zhao Shan helped him a lot when he was yet to succeed. Even lime merchant Li Fugui was introduced by Zhao Shan.
Refined salt is a project that can make a lot of money, so it would be a good choice to bring Zhao Shan into the team.
Moreover, the Zhao family's status in Qingzhou is extremely high. With Zhao Shan here, other families have to think carefully if they want to touch them.
I just don’t know if the Zhao family is willing to offend the Qing family for this deal. After all, the strength of the Qing family in Beijing is not weak.
But these are all things for later. No matter whether it can be done or not, you have to try it first.
While thinking about it, the two of them had already met.
"Hey."
Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth and stopped the maid.
"Who are you...Lin Xiaofan? Why are you here too?"
The maid in pink clothes looked up and looked at Lin Xiaofan before she recognized him.
It's not her fault for being blind, it's mainly because Lin Xiaofan has changed a lot these days.
He was taller than before and no longer as skinny as before, so she didn't recognize him at first.
"I want to talk to your lady about something, is that okay?"
Lin Xiaofan said.
"This one……"
The maid in pink thought for a while.
"I have to ask our lady first."
According to the young lady's attitude towards Lin Xiaofan, it is definitely okay to talk about things.
But she is just a maid and cannot make decisions in private.
"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news."
Lin Xiaofan nodded, then walked away.
After all, his idea of making salt was done in the dark. If someone saw him chatting too much with the Zhao family maid, they might be able to follow the clues and find him out.
As for whether Zhao Shan can find him, with Zhao Shan's level, he doesn't have to worry about this issue at all.
"Wenyue, are there any better inns nearby? I still have some things to do in the future, and it's not very convenient to stay at your house all the time."
Lin Xiaofan said.
He couldn't always stay at Wen's house, as it would be inconvenient to move around.
Wen Yue nodded and expressed understanding.
"If we talk about inns, the best inn in the city is ours. Master, if you want to stay, I will reserve the largest room for you."
There was one more thing she didn't say. That house was also very close to Wen's house, so if she wanted to find Lin Xiaofan in the future, it would be more convenient.
Wen's inn?
Lin Xiaofan nodded, that's not bad.
Moreover, the power of the Wen family is mainly distributed in the south of the city. I think the inn should be in the south of the city. It will be close when the time comes, so I can take care of them.
Seeing Lin Xiaofan agreeing, Wen Yue felt happy and exchanged a few words with a slave behind him.
The slave quickly left and went to make arrangements for the inn.
The two of them were walking, and a palace appeared in front of them.
"Master, look, this is the Treasure Pavilion in our city. It is also the largest store in our city. There are many good things in it, and an auction is held every month. I wonder if Master is interested in taking a look?"
Treasure Pavilion? auctions?
Lin Xiaofan looked at the dignified and gorgeous palace in front of him with some interest in his heart.
He had only seen what Wenyue said on the Internet in his previous life, and he was a little curious about it.
He has a lot of money on hand, and maybe he can buy some useful things in it. If you can come across some rare metals, you can make a lot of money.
"Okay, go in and have a look."
At the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion, two fully armed guards stood. Both of them had jade swords on their waists, large bows on their backs, and heavy armor on their bodies. Just standing there makes the rest of the crowd afraid to approach.
"Master, there are rules in the Treasure Pavilion. You need to pay ten taels of silver as a deposit to enter. However, our four major families were involved in the construction of the Treasure Pavilion, so there is no need to pay."
Wen Yue introduced from the side.
Lin Xiaofan nodded. This method can screen the people who enter the Treasure Pavilion. After all, the things inside are very expensive, but not everyone can afford them.
After entering the pavilion, Lin Xiaofan's first impression was of luxury.
Luminous pearls and various treasures are placed everywhere, the red carpet is spread on the ground, and every wall is carved with patterns and murals. Even the walls are made of mahogany.
"The cost of building this Treasure Pavilion is probably no less than one hundred thousand taels, right?"
Lin Xiaofan asked with some shock.
It seemed that these families were richer than he imagined.
"Master, this Treasure Pavilion was built by a wealthy businessman who spent one hundred thousand taels of silver, and each of our four major families spent [-] taels of silver. The profits gained from it will be shared among the five of us."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan suddenly realized that it was built by a wealthy businessman with financing, no wonder it was so high-end.
However, it is not easy for this wealthy businessman to take out one hundred thousand taels of silver in one go.
"Master, there is a small auction here every month and a large auction every year. During the large auction, various rare treasures may appear. Before, there was even a book of internal energy skills."
"Inner Strength Technique!"
When Lin Xiaofan heard this, his heart suddenly shook.
Jian Bai had mentioned to him before that in Daqian, only some big families had internal energy techniques, and each of them regarded them as their clan treasures and would never spread them to outsiders. But in the auction of Zhenbao Pavilion, internal energy techniques actually appeared.
"It was almost seven or eight years ago. At that time, the Treasure Pavilion had just been built. In order to become famous, the wealthy businessman got an internal power technique from somewhere."
"That time, all the eight major families in the capital came here, as well as countless domestic officials, wealthy businessmen, and even some foreign forces."
"In the end, the technique was bought by a prince in the capital for [-] yuan."
Lin Xiaofan was greatly shocked, and the position of the Treasure Pavilion in his heart became even more mysterious.
"Who is this wealthy businessman? Aren't you afraid of being robbed of your wealth by auctioning such a blatant technique?"
Lin Xiaofan was full of curiosity about this.
A technique worth [-] silver taels, and in the hands of a wealthy businessman, it is difficult for others to think wrongly.
"Yes, at least hundreds of people came here at that time. Many domestic thieves, killers, and martial arts masters came here after hearing the news and wanted to steal this technique, but no one could get out of here alive."
"What is the background of that wealthy businessman?"
Lin Xiaofan became more and more curious about this wealthy businessman.
