At the moment when Wang Jing raised his head with a proud look on his face, Wu Meiniang suddenly spoke.
"Then, ladies and gentlemen, from now on, our next auction item will be invited to appear!"
Wu Meiniang finished speaking.
At a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, everyone in the audience fell silent for an instant.
I can't help it, Wu Meiniang's shout just now was so attractive.
Everyone can't help but be curious.
What will be the next auction item...
To be able to deserve such high praise as the organizer of the auction.
You must know that there has been a huge transaction amount of more than one million yuan in the past. Waiting for the next one to appear...
How about a few million strings????
This possibility is not small at all!
But at this time, Li Er couldn't help but look a little ugly.
Matt, those prices above are already outrageous enough, what else can be more outrageous???
If you really need to spend millions of dollars...this is hundreds of millions of dollars.
Riding on horses... these powerful families are too rich, right?
Li Er's scalp felt numb for a while, and soon... after he realized that his scalp was numb, Li Er understood. Good guy, you have squeezed this group of aristocratic families so hard, you are indeed not unjust, damn it.
But now, Li Er couldn't help but feel worried.
So what if you want to give your child a whole gift?
You can't just throw hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of guan into it like Wang Jing and other big-name businessmen like Wang Jing and others. This is too...
Again, it’s not that I can’t bear to part with it, it’s just that I really can’t do it.
And while Li Er was feeling depressed,
On the other side are Wang Jing, Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe, Zheng Taishan, Lu Changgeng... and others.
There are also Pei Ji and Xiao Yu.
The leaders of the group of five surnamed Qi Wang all had red faces and smiled at each other.
Hahahahaha, the main dish is finally here.
Today, it is time for such a divine creature to be born, so that the heroes of the world can see who is the real hero!
With charming eyes in the colorful world, but no strength, there is no way to compete with me!
So then——
As Wu Meiniang's voice fell, there was a loud sound...
Came from the auction house side.
This sound is not unfamiliar to everyone here, because... basically, old customers have heard this sound before. This is when large commodities are transported, the auction house will use a small iron wheeled trolley to transport the goods.
.
Now……
Another large item?
What could it be?
This question kept churning in the minds of all the guests.
Thinking about this thing, it is very likely that the price would far exceed the previous price of 180,000 yuan as soon as it appeared. Everyone was so excited that their minds began to swell.
Hundreds of thousands of coins, hundreds of thousands of coins...
Oh my god...
And soon, all the guests saw it.
With the sound of small iron wheels, an item covered with black brocade was pushed out from the front desk.
After a while, it passed...
Everyone saw the direct lineage.
It is a cylindrical object.
Length, extremely long.
The size is extremely stout, almost like two people hugging each other.
This thing soon appeared on the high platform.
The guests in the audience were immediately in an uproar.
This shape seems familiar...
Why does this shape look a bit like... like a huge piece of wood?
Think of wood…
This group of Jiangdong rich people are no strangers.
As the whole world knows, Jiangdong is a place with abundant water and grass and rivers, ditches and canals.
And in addition to the large and small rivers and ditches all over the land, this place is also close to the sea.
In such a place, it is conceivable that if the people lose their boats, their lives will definitely be uncomfortable.
This is something that both wealthy families and ordinary people cannot do without.
Especially for wealthy families, they often need to transport bulk goods.
If you don't have a boat and can't take the sea route, what can you do? Then things will be troublesome. At this time, Jiangdong is not as developed as it was during the Qin and Han Dynasties, otherwise the aristocratic families in the Wei and Jin Dynasties would not have waited until Shi Le invaded eastward before crossing the Yangtze River and escaping south.
Although today's Jiangdong is not as developed as the later Song Dynasty, it has been developing for such a long time, and the commodity circulation economy has been initially established.
If something goes wrong with transportation in a place like this, the consequences can be imagined.
So during this period...
There is no need to say anything about Wang Jing and others, or Li Sheng.
Ordinary local people are almost crazy looking for hardwood.
Trying to get a large hardwood that can be used as a mast is as difficult as anything.
But even under such circumstances, let alone ordinary people in the entire Jiangdong, even the wealthy families in Jiangdong would never be able to find usable hardwood materials.
Throughout the recent period, we have basically either shelved the shipbuilding plan, or reluctantly pinched our noses and used ordinary wood...
Ordinary wood and hardwood may seem to be the same, but in fact, anyone who knows the wood knows that the difference in wood sturdiness cannot be calculated at all.
And under such circumstances, the price of hardwood has skyrocketed on the black market. In the end, in just two months, it has risen directly from dozens of guan to hundreds or thousands of guan, and recently it has exceeded the 10,000 guan mark.
!
Even in the past two days, there have been rumors that people have begun to buy hardwood on the black market for tens of thousands of dollars...
In other words, if you want to build a boat...
The entire cost has reached an exaggerated level.
Even the local wealthy families have to invest tens of thousands of dollars to build big ships.
At this juncture...
Here at the auction house, something so thick and big appeared.
This makes this group of wealthy gentry mainly from Jiangdong, how can they not be excited.
I'm so excited, okay?
The whole venue was in an uproar and everyone was talking.
This time the goods...
But it’s so exciting!
And at this moment.
But not everyone is so excited.
for example……
Li Er is very happy now, but not that excited.
The reason for Li Er's joy was nothing else.
But Li Er also knows that there is a recent shortage of hardwood materials, and it is said that the price is also very expensive...
Although the detailed situation is not included in the memorial, Sheng'er's memorials are always very brief.
However, Li Er is still determined. Once he finds an opportunity, he still needs to allocate resources to his children to reduce their pressure.
But...when I saw the group of people around me, everyone was so excited.
Li Er's excitement quickly calmed down and was replaced by a bit of confusion.
What's happening here?
Why are these people so high-spirited?
Li Er was puzzled and couldn't help but push Wei Zheng beside him.
Seeing His Majesty's question, Wei Zheng immediately spoke quietly.
Li Er knew about the great shipbuilding industry, but Wei Zheng was more familiar with specific matters such as hardwood prices, so he quickly told Li Er about the recent situation in Jiangdong.
