Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1294 - 1159: All Old Foxes (Part 2)

Moreover, the temptation was not ordinary, so much so that this guy also started to be a bit restless. But hearing the other party’s tone, it seems they want to buy all ten jars of wine at once. How could he be willing to let that happen?

At the very least, he wanted to keep one jar for himself as a bonus.

However, before he could speak, Steward Lu on the side spoke again, and his tone was full of hostility.

He snorted disdainfully at the steward who spoke earlier, turned to look at him, and said:

"Hehe, isn’t it just silver? We have plenty of silver if nothing else. How about this:

For each jar of wine, I’ll add another two taels of silver. Sell all ten jars to me; that would be a total of twenty taels of silver. You need to think it over.

And one more thing you should know, after you sell the wine to me today, you can still come here to draw lots the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, this won’t affect you in any way; at most you just drink the wine one day later. How about it? Can you accept my proposal?"

I have to say, this was quite reasonable. The young man, who had been hesitant, was moved upon hearing this.

Just as Steward Lu said, if he didn’t have the wine today, he could wait just one more day.

In doing so, he would be getting an extra twenty taels of silver for nothing.

Upon hearing this, he couldn’t help but swallow, ready to agree.

However, just at this moment, as he was about to speak, the steward beside him suddenly began to talk again.

And what he said was extremely concise and to the point:

"Hehe, isn’t it a coincidence? We have plenty of silver too. How about this: I’ll add three taels of silver for each jar.

I will offer a total of thirty more taels than him; how about it, is that enough profit?"

This time, not only the Centurion but also those around him couldn’t help but gasp, and when they looked at this guy, their eyes were filled with extreme envy. Man, just with a few words, he was offering thirty taels of silver.

Without doing anything, merely drawing lots, he could get so much money, something they never dared to even imagine before.

It’s no exaggeration to say that even if those around them worked for three to five years, they wouldn’t earn that much silver.

How could this not make them jealous? So much so that when they looked at the Centurion, their eyes couldn’t help but be filled with a red glow.

They wished they were the ones who drew the ten jars of wine.

But they didn’t realize that even if they really did draw ten jars of wine, they were just doing their job, and no one would give them extra money. After all, their duty was to serve the Patriarch.

However, the Centurion had already made up his mind, that was rivers all the way, selling all ten jars of wine; as for craving,

Hehe, he’s just a small character, and compared to craving, silver is more substantial.

With these thirty taels of silver, not only could he drink one jar of wine next time, he could even drink several jars at once. How could this not make him excited?

But just when he was about to open his mouth, Steward Lu once again snorted disdainfully, directly extended five fingers:

"Fifty taels! As long as you sell the wine to us, I’ll add fifty more taels of silver! Hehe, we’ve never feared anyone when it comes to riches."

These words are not exaggerated, as the other party is indeed a member of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue’s family, and the Ministry of Revenue is always in charge of money, therefore money is something they certainly don’t lack. Although Lin Yi’s arrival restricted those little tricks, it doesn’t mean they haven’t done things before.

Before, they embezzled quite a bit, so their mansion’s cellar is full of gold and silver jewels, and it’s no exaggeration to say that they are the wealthiest among all the officials in Da Youguo.

Much less adding fifty taels of silver, even a hundred would not be objected to by their master. It is precisely because of this that the steward could speak such boastful words.

However, after he said this, those around them couldn’t help but gasp again, and in an instant, the eyes of those around them turned red. When they looked at the Centurion, they wished they could snatch the bamboo slip in his hand.

Heavens, in a blink of an eye, the price had already soared to fifty taels.

Moreover, not only were the people around shocked, but the Centurion was dumbfounded at the moment, his mouth wide open and full of disbelief.

He never expected that just because of his craving, he could get fifty taels of silver. Good heavens, this could equal several years of wages for them.

How could he refuse such an offer? However, he hadn’t lost his mind at this moment but noticed something unusual, which was that these people were competing for the ten jars of wine in his hand.

Thus, he quickly turned his eyes, then looked at the other steward who bid earlier and said:

"Hehe, dear sir. I’m not sure how much you are willing to offer. I’ll put it like this: I do intend to hand over all ten jars of wine, selling nine of them.

It’s just that I can’t afford to offend any of you, and I don’t know who to sell them to; if I sell to one and not the other, I will indirectly offend another group,

therefore, whoever offers the highest price gets it."

With these words, he encompassed everyone. For a moment, those around him looked at Minister Bai with surprise, not expecting him to be so shrewd, offering the jars of wine for auction, thus gaining maximum profit.

However, after hearing his words, Steward Lu and several other stewards turned livid. They never expected this guy to be so outrageous, wanting them to bid against each other. Hehe. Looks like this guy isn’t foolish.

But today, there’s no choice; everything is in the other’s hands, leaving them with no chance to fight back or any other solution.

As for directly seizing it? If not for the place, and the bamboo slips that only he can purchase,

the bamboo slips would have already ended up in their hands.

But now, the Shopkeeper is watching on the side. If they show any intent of direct robbery now, it’s not as simple as robbing a guy of his bamboo slip, but angering those above.

Should it get to that point, not only would they be in trouble, but their master wouldn’t escape unscathed either.

But they are not foolish. The previous bidding was merely about not liking each other, but now this guy fools them thinking they’re fools; how could they be happy?

They might volunteer to compete voluntarily, but provoking their competition isn’t right.

Therefore, after figuring it all out, the stewards exchanged glances, still displeased with each other, but seeing mutual understanding in one another’s eyes.

Especially Steward Lu, who subtly shook his head at the others, conveying his meaning.

One has to say, these people are quite clever, understanding what each other was thinking with just an exchange of eye contact.
