But even so, the person who took the bill of lading was still very happy.
Without him!
Just because the wealth this bill of lading can create is far more than eight hundred taels.
You must know that on the black market, even the lowest quality hemp paper is sold by someone in turn.
In some black markets, a piece of hemp paper of the lowest quality can be sold for up to two hundred coins.
If you buy these hundred pieces of paper one by one, you will make a lot of money!
And those who didn't take a picture of this bill of lading were all downcast and regretful.
Having a clear view of everyone's emotions, Zhou Peirong's mood was as calm as ever.
Everyone's reaction was completely within his expectation.
And this little bit of "petty profit" is not worth getting excited about for Zhou Peirong.
You know, there are still many good things waiting for auction later.
Those things are the real treasures that can make Zhou Peirong make a lot of money!
"Today, I, Zhou Peirong, accept the money bags of all of you here without mercy!"
Zhou Peirong thought like this, and a proud smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Under the auspices and guidance of the auctioneer, the atmosphere of the auction soon reached a climax.
People's emotions were driven to the peak of excitement.
When everyone bids, naturally they are less restrained.
As time went by, various lots were successfully auctioned, and Zhou Peirong's wallet became more and more bulging.
The quality of the auction items that will appear later is also much better than those before.
Take the item currently being auctioned as an example!
The value of this lot is almost as much as the sum of the transaction prices of all the previous lots.
As the hammer in the auctioneer's hand fell, the auction item was successfully sold.
The final transaction price was twenty-three thousand taels.
After this auction item was successfully sold, it was the porcelain that made the final appearance.
"Everyone, for the next few lots, we, Boss Zhou, will have to personally host the auction!"
“Now, I’d like to invite Boss Zhou to the stage. Everyone is welcome!”
The auctioneer shouted to the audience with inflammatory words.
“Welcome Boss Zhou!”
The guests below were also very considerate and immediately called out Zhou Peirong's name.
Zhou Peirong also has no reservations.
He greeted the cheers and applause of the guests, walked onto the auction stage calmly and calmly, and took the hammer from the auctioneer's hand.
"Everyone, I know that the main purpose of everyone coming to my auction house today is not to cheer me up."
"Everyone's real goal is the pieces of porcelain in my hand."
"I know that everyone has been waiting for a long time. Now, I won't say any more nonsense. I still have five pieces of porcelain in my hand."
"Now, the auction of these five pieces of porcelain has officially begun!"
Following Zhou Peirong's order, all five pieces of porcelain were brought up.
"Five pieces of porcelain, each piece is auctioned separately. There is no reserve price and no limit on the amount of increase. Each person is only allowed to bid for one piece!"
"Now, who is willing to grab this jackpot?"
"I'll do it!"
As soon as Zhou Peirong's voice fell, the county guard immediately stood up and smiled and pointed his five fingers at Zhou Peirong.
"The transaction price of the last auction item was twenty-three thousand taels."
"The value of this piece of porcelain must be much higher than that of the lot."
"So, if I offer fifty thousand taels, it should be worthy of this piece of porcelain!"
The Lord Sheriff's voice fell, and the place suddenly became quiet.
Not to mention participating in the auction, not even a single person gasped loudly.
Although everyone was very quiet, Zhou Peirong carefully discovered that there was deep depression and dissatisfaction in the eyes of many people present.
Obviously, everyone is really dissatisfied with the behavior of our Lord Sheriff.
But even if everyone is dissatisfied, what can we do?
After all, he is a county guard!
Facing such a big shot, you can only hold back the little emotions in your heart.
Otherwise, if you really piss people off, the consequences will be disastrous.
But Zhou Peirong didn't pay too much attention to the governor's behavior.
It's just a piece of porcelain, and the cost is really pitiful.
The county governor was willing to spend 50,000 taels of silver on the auction, and Zhou Peirong would make a fortune.
So now, Zhou Peirong really doesn't feel dissatisfied at all.
Seeing that no one continued to increase the price, Zhou Peirong immediately raised his hammer and began to count down.
"Fifty thousand taels of silver for the first time, fifty thousand taels of silver for the second time, fifty thousand taels of silver for the third time, deal done!"
"Congratulations, Lord Sheriff, this porcelain is yours!"
Zhou Peirong smiled and directly sent the porcelain to the county governor.
"Boss Zhou, thank you for your generosity!"
"I like this porcelain very much! If you get better porcelain in the future, don't forget to tell me!"
The county governor happily played with the porcelain in his hand, and at the same time he did not forget to remind Zhou Peirong quietly.
"Don't worry, Lord Sheriff, as I have better porcelain, I will send a few pieces to your house as soon as possible for you to help you taste them!"
With a casual perfunctory remark, Zhou Peirong then picked up the hammer again and began to preside over the auction of the next few pieces of porcelain.
Without the interference of the Sheriff, the subsequent fight for the four pieces of porcelain can be said to be quite brutal.
In order to get these four pieces of porcelain, the Meng family, Yun family and Li family almost went crazy.
Not just these three!
The Su family and several other small families also joined in, trying to snatch a piece of porcelain from these three families.
What a pity.
The strength of the Su family and other small families is really too poor, and there is no way they can compete with the Yun family and the other three families.
In the end, three of the last four pieces of porcelain were captured by the three major families.
And the last piece of porcelain was taken away by a stranger.
As for the identity of this person, no one knows, but no one cares.
The auction has come to a successful end here.
After sending the guests away one by one, Zhou Peirong planned to take stock and see how much net profit he had made today.
But at this moment, a familiar stranger suddenly came to him.
The reason why this person is strange to Zhou Peirong is because before today, Zhou Peirong had no interaction with this person.
The reason why this person is familiar with Zhou Peirong is because it was this stranger who was generous and spent thousands of dollars at today's auction to buy a piece of porcelain from Zhou Peirong.
Of course, Zhou Peirong greeted such a big customer with potential and strength with a smile.
"It turns out to be you, brother!"
"I don't know why you are looking for me, brother?"
After the pleasantries, Zhou Peirong got straight to the point and asked directly about the person's purpose.
