Reckless Through The New World

Chapter 342: The Influence of Travelers (Part 2)

The finale of 12,000 gold coins is an extraordinary achievement for the second round of the big auction.

"It's been many years since I've seen the second round of an auction that broke 10,000 yuan." A fat businessman sitting next to Panda and them (although this feature is very inconspicuous in Molai Port, Panda can't see what else he has. Other physical features) exclaimed, "This is only the second round!"

"Yeah, I don't know what will be auctioned in the third round." The kind old businessman said so.

"Actually, I want to participate in the last round of auctions, but unfortunately I don't have enough identity to go to the third floor." A businessman sitting in front turned his head and said with a sigh.

Panda asked curiously, "What happened to the last round of auctions?"

"The last round of auctions is actually the state affairs of our Molai Commercial Federation." The old businessman shook his head and said, "It's just the name of the auction. Sitting on the third floor are the decision makers of our federation. Etc. After the three rounds of auctions, they will summarize the state affairs of the past month, and discuss the state affairs of the next month at the same time. How they discuss it, anyway, I don’t know, those hearsays are not worth believing at all.”

Only then did the panda realize that, and couldn't help but laugh a little.

The Molai Commercial Federation is worthy of being a country founded on commerce, and even major affairs of state affairs are discussed at the auction venue, which is simply wonderful!

However, compared to the state affairs of the Molai Commercial Federation, Panda is more interested in the third round of auction items.

In his opinion, things like high-quality armor, high-quality enchanted weapons, and even biological armor have almost reached the peak of ordinary auctions, and beyond that are some rare treasures. It is easy to rot in your hands - for example, the famous gem "Star Core Fragment", it is absolutely no exaggeration to describe it as invaluable, but this thing only exists unless a super-large magic circle or a super-giant puppet or a magic battleship. For the legendary use, otherwise even the top-level enchantment will not be used. If anyone buys it, it will rot in their hands 100%.

After a while, the third round of auctions began.

The auctioneer remained expressionless. After looking around the audience, he said the first auction item.

"Barbarossa Peace Flag, just registered yesterday, valid for one year." He said, "The reserve price is 10,000 gold coins."

Panda suddenly understood.

Different from the first and second rounds, the third round of auctions is all about "commercial operations".

For example, the "Barbarossa Peace Flag" is a token issued by the pirate king Barbarossa. As long as you hang this on the mast of the fleet's flagship and travel all over the Western Continent, not even a pirate dares to come to you. .

For maritime merchants, this flag is a symbol of peace, and it can be said that no money can be exchanged!

In the end, this flag was bought by a merchant on the second floor for 20,000 gold coins. The old merchant next to Panda and the others also muttered: "This time the flag of peace seems to be a bit cheap. It seems that the battle situation in Mo Lai is not good. After all, it still affects everyone’s enthusiasm for doing business.”

"Yeah, the last time the Peace Flag was sold so cheaply was after Thrace attacked various ports."

"But shortly after the incident, it was reported that although the ship with the flag of peace was parked at the port that was attacked, the Thracians did not dare to attack... As a result, the flag of peace was sold more expensive."

"It doesn't matter whether it is expensive or cheap, it has nothing to do with us anyway. Even if we become maritime merchants in the future, we will not be able to develop enough qualifications to hang the flag of peace in this life."

The businessmen were talking and laughing, but they didn't take those high-priced auctions seriously.

The auction has entered the third round, and it has nothing to do with the merchants in the hall on the ground floor. They are now almost purely eye-opening, wanting to buy something... Hehe, is there too much money to burn?

Next, several items were auctioned off. As Panda guessed, they were all about business—for example, the transfer of a few merchant ships, some shares of a certain chamber of commerce, or shops and real estate in good locations. such as.

Compared with these, weapons and armors, no matter how precious they are, are limited.

In other words, those weapons and armors that are precious enough to be comparable to these things will only be auctioned here by neuropathy!

After a while, the auctioneer said, "The next item, the new specialty 'Grass Candy' of the Earl of Tarahan in the north of the Terrera Kingdom, will be available in Molai for the entire year, with a reserve price of 50,000 gold coins."

The panda's mouth widened, stunned.

There were also many businessmen in the hall on the ground floor who were also stunned. Many people couldn't help but ask: "What is grass candy?"

The auctioneer clapped his hands, and the waiters walked to the merchants with teacups, each of which was filled with a small cup of green tea, sweet and fragrant.

Panda and Jack naturally both got a cup. He picked it up and took a sip. The sweetness was strong, the fragrance was slightly bitter, and it was indeed very grassy.

After everyone had tasted it, the auctioneer said: "Grass Candy is a new product from Tara Khan Collar, the exact origin is unknown. After verification, it is determined to be non-toxic. It is sweet and fragrant, slightly bitter, and has a distinct grassy taste. In terms of taste, it is not as good as honey and sweet tree sugar, but it is also a kind of sugar after all. The Tarakhan Chamber of Commerce promises that the annual supply will not be less than 5,000 catties. the market price, and make up for it with other commodities of equivalent value.”

"Five... five thousand catties?!"

"My God! So many!"

"That Tara Khan...how many bees do they keep?"

"Don't they have a few druids in each village?"

The businessmen were talking a lot, and they were all surprised.

In the Western Continent, sugar is very expensive. There is no sugar cane or sugar beet here, and there are only two sources for sugar production - honey and a tree similar to sugar maple. These two kinds of sugar are very expensive, how expensive is it? Not long ago, Panda ate a few special dishes in the restaurant that could reflect the style of Mo Lai Hong Kong, all beets, and spent a total of almost 200 gold coins - the main cost was the sugar.

Although the taste of Tara Khan grass sugar is not good, the amount of 5,000 catties is amazing enough - this is almost close to the consumption of the entire Molai Hong Kong for one year. In other words, as long as he wins this business, he will become an important sugar supplier in the Molai Kingdom in the next year.

This is really big business!

After the panda was shocked, he hurriedly contacted Liu Daoqing. As far as he knew, among the transmigrants, a group of people led by Liu Daoqing had been tossing the local method to make cola, and one of the important links was sugar making.

"Several medicines needed to make Coke have not been collected yet, and the taste is still not right." Liu Daoqing replied, "We thought about it later, before finding the right medicine, we might as well sell the jaggery we made, which can be regarded as recycling. some cost."

"Five thousand catties per year, is your output so high?" Panda asked in confusion.

"It's just maltose, about a pound and a half of rice can make a pound of sugar. The yield is not a problem at all, the problem is just confidentiality. In order to prevent trouble, we also asked the local Druid representative, the one who tossed herbs every day said. It was Jeanne, who was going to be a doctor, who added several herbal juices specializing in the Mysseller Forest to the sugar, and specially adjusted the sweet and fragrant maltose to give it a bitter taste."

Panda grinned, shook his head, said nothing, but couldn't help laughing.

Unconsciously, even those traversers who don't participate in battles very much have had an increasing impact on this world.
