The auction was interrupted because of a broken knife.
Chengfeng Chamber of Commerce suffered heavy losses today, but at the last moment, Wang Mingyou refused to give up.
The last temporarily acquired samurai sword was pushed forward to start the auction.
The starting price is 10,000 taels.
As a result, the samurai sword became the only unsold item at the auction.
No one bid for ten thousand taels, so a knife hit his hand.
Word spread quickly.
No one discusses the sky-high price paintings sold at auctions. Everyone discusses the story of how a Tang sword easily cut off a Japanese samurai sword.
The passion for the katana is like an ever-expanding balloon, and this incident led by Bai Song is the needle that pops the balloon.
The balloon bursts and everything has to reset to zero.
An hour later, the price of samurai swords among the people in Chang'an City dropped sharply. At first, the price was halved, and the sword that cost 10,000 taels instantly dropped to 5,000 taels. The next day, it fell again to one thousand taels, and it showed no signs of stopping.
In the past, some wealthy people wanted to make a fortune by hoarding samurai swords, but ended up before the liberation overnight and lost even their underpants.
Countless people wanted to eat Bai Song alive.
But after some inquiring, they found out that it was the consort, and everyone honestly chose to keep their mouths shut.
Therefore, among those who wanted to tear Bai Song apart, Mo Zhu was probably the only one who dared to truly express his dissatisfaction.
She bought a knife for 100 taels of silver, but it eventually went up to 5,000 taels of silver and she was reluctant to sell it. In the blink of an eye, the price jumped to 500 taels of silver in two days.
Mo Zhu, who was obsessed with money, almost burst into tears. Under Bai Song's instigation, he finally sold it for 450 taels of silver.
In order to compensate for the loss of the little money lover, Bai Song had to subsidize the girl with a banknote worth one thousand taels.
…
Three days later, the Chengfeng Chamber of Commerce sent an invitation, saying that it was inviting Mobai Qianzhuang to attend a dinner held by the chamber of commerce. All the famous merchants in Chang'an City were invited, and it was said that there were also representatives of the Japanese royal family.
The person who sent the invitation said that Boss Bai must attend, because Japanese people will attend, and the issue of compensation for a broken knife may be discussed.
If you participate, you will participate. Bai Song has no objection to this. Now he should interact more with Japanese people.
What happened at the last auction not only affected the price of samurai swords, but also caused great damage to the reputation of Chengfeng Chamber of Commerce.
Mobai Bank is also a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and other members of the Chamber of Commerce are critical of Mobai Bank.
When Qing'er learned the news, she did not blame Bai Song, but she also decided to attend the banquet in order to take care of the aftermath for her man.
The banquet was held on a flower boat on the Yong'an River, but the flower boat docked on the shore instead of going down the river. It was like a restaurant built on the water, which had a unique flavor.
The flower boat is the largest flower boat in Chang'an. It takes place at dusk, and occasionally guests interact with each other at the ferry.
When Bai Song and Qing'er were attending the banquet, they met an acquaintance nearby, the boss Xia of the Xia Family Winery.
Boss Xia has become the number one winery in the Tang Dynasty by relying on Bai Song's Wuliangye formula, and his success is now no worse than Bai Song's.
But she also knew that her family's success today was entirely dependent on Bai Song, so she chatted with Bai Song enthusiastically at the ferry for a while.
At the ferry, Wang Mingyou and his son Wang Yuming were receiving guests. When they saw Bai Song coming with his wife, they hurriedly greeted them: "Boss Bai, you are finally here!"
Bai Songgong cupped his hands and did not respond, while Qing'er beside him also smiled softly.
His son Wang Yuming watched on the side, feeling a little unhappy. He thought that this man looked about the same age as himself, but he was so arrogant that he didn't even respond to his father's greetings.
At the same time, he also remembered that this person was the one who made such nonsense at the auction to attract attention.
It was because of this person that his business was damaged, and he was beaten severely because he spent tens of thousands of dollars in a fit of rage.
"Yu Ming, haven't you met Boss Bai yet? You are about the same age, but your achievements are vastly different. You should learn more from Boss Bai."
Wang Yuming didn't say anything at all, imitating Bai Song's indolence. But when he saw Qing'er beside him, he couldn't help but stare, thinking that this lady is too pretty, right?
However, compared with the Miss Zhang in my heart, she is slightly inferior. In terms of appearance and temperament, Zhang Yuhan and Miss Zhang seem to be better.
"You kid, why don't you have any manners at all? Why don't you show courtesy to Boss Bai?" Wang Mingyou was a little embarrassed because his son's behavior was a little inappropriate.
Bai Song waved his hand: "No need to be polite, I came here to meet Japanese people."
"Representatives of the Japanese royal family have been waiting inside for a long time." Wang Mingyou said.
Bai Song didn't say much and waved to get on the boat with Qing'er.
As soon as Bai Song got on the boat, Zhang Yuhan arrived behind him.
As an official lady, there was no place for her at today's banquet, but Zhang Yuming specially invited her. Zhang Yuhan learned that Bai Song would also attend tonight, so she agreed.
Compared with the previous indifference, Wang Yuming hurriedly stepped forward after seeing Miss Zhang: "Miss Zhang, you are here."
"Hmm..." Zhang Yuhan responded simply, but she stood on her feet and looked at the boat. She seemed to have seen Mr. Bai boarding the boat, but she didn't dare to confirm, and seemed very anxious.
But when he came today, Zhang Yuhan only brought one scroll of painting, which was the priceless work worth 40,000 taels of silver.
Wang Yuming saw it and was extremely excited. He didn't expect that Miss Zhang was so considerate about the gift he gave her, and she would take it with her when she came to the banquet.
This forty thousand taels of silver is well spent!
The beating was worth it!
Bai Song didn't notice Miss Zhang behind him. When he got on the boat, he saw Jiumei waiting outside a private cabin.
Jiumei seemed to be waiting for Bai Song. After seeing Bai Song, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she came forward and said: "You are often forgetful, so you are willing to show up."
"Long time no see, she looks beautiful again." Bai Song teased at first, and Qing'er beside him was not jealous either.
Because Jiumei has a different temperament from ordinary women, a kind of murderous intention, which makes Qing'er feel that such a woman will not become a threat to herself.
Jiumei sneered, and his calm tone revealed the familiarity between friends: "Why do you always have trouble with us? You are the one causing trouble every time we meet."
"How could it be? Why didn't anything happen between me and you?"
"Hmph! You still have that unofficial look. When you meet our prince later, I hope you will take my face into consideration and not be too rude."
"Don't worry, as long as your people don't mess with me, of course I won't lose my temper."
"We come here with sincerity this time."
"Sincerity? What sincerity? Don't you want me to compensate you?"
"Compensation is just a reason to meet. What we are really interested in is your knife. If possible, I hope you can share the origin of your knife."
