Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1420 - 1221: Scheme (2)

He wanted to put all of this silver into circulation, to make it flow. Only when this silver flows can it create greater value for the development of society. Only when this silver enters the market can the lives of the people undergo earth-shattering changes.

If all this silver is left with only a few families, just sitting in their warehouses gathering dust, not only would they have no use for so much silver, but conversely, although they would become wealthy, the common people would only become poorer and poorer. Only by keeping the money in circulation can the living standards be guaranteed, right?

Because of this, Lin Yi’s approach is particularly simple. He announced to the public that phones would be for sale, but no phones were placed in the stores. However, suddenly one day on the black market, a phone appeared, even though there was only one.

But this was quite unbelievable, especially when the wealthy people learned of it, they all, without exception, got excited. On a dark and windy night, in the Cuiyun Building, an astonishing secret auction was unknowingly held.

Yes, indeed, an auction. Such auctions did not actually exist in this era, but it was not impossible that Lin Yi understood it. Once Lin Yi understood, it was not impossible for him to teach some individuals how to operate such events.

The auction here was lively and colorful,

and today’s auction item was just one thing, which was a brand-new phone. This was something that everyone was desperate for,

So when they received this news, the wealthy people’s first reaction was disbelief. After all, phones were incredibly scarce these days. Except for some court officials, there was really no one else who owned a phone.

The emperor said they might be given phones, but that wasn’t something that could be done quickly. They had thought about it and figured at least a year or two would be needed.

However, what none of them expected was that today they received the news, received the invitation, saying that phones were for sale. How could they trust this information?

Of course, even though they were skeptical, they adopted the mindset of "better believe it than not" and hurried over.

After all, they were no strangers to visiting Cuiyun Building often anyway, so if today’s event was fake, they could just consider it a regular visit. Finding a girl to enjoy a drink with was not a bad idea either.

Embracing such thoughts, all the wealthy individuals rushed over, which caused the previously relatively calm Cuiyun Building to instantly become packed, making that day’s business extraordinarily booming.

It could almost be said to be overcrowded. Whether wealthy merchants or small vendors, everyone was present,

Yes, besides those big wealthy men, some well-off commoners also came over. Their purpose was not necessarily to find a girl to drink with, but rather to catch a glimpse of this legendary phone.

After all, who wouldn’t be curious after hearing the news, who wouldn’t want to get it?

Because of this, just around seven in the evening,

Cuiyun Building was already packed, with no more room to enter. The few boxes upstairs were already filled early on, and some wealthy merchants had already ordered tables full of wine and dishes, accompanied by girls, staring at the big stage in the middle of the room.

Yes, this stage was originally used for courtesan contests, but at this moment it was cleared out.

At this moment, in the center, on this stage, there was nothing. They were waiting, all waiting for the time to come, waiting for around eight o’clock, the time when the auction would begin.

Today’s auction could be said to be quite unexpected, something they had never seen before. Of course, this highest bidder wins method wasn’t unfamiliar. It wasn’t that they hadn’t operated like this before, just that it had never truly appeared in a conference format.

So, each of them curiously examined everything.

Finally, under everyone’s anticipation, when the madam’s face was already beaming with joy, a masked person in black finally walked to the center of the stage. Yes, this guy was dressed in all black, with a black gold mask covering his face.

Only his eyes above the nose were exposed.

The reason for this getup didn’t surprise the crowd.

After all, this thing was quite sensitive. No phones were currently floating around. Now that this phone was being auctioned here, how could it not make the presenter cautious?

If this identity were truly verified later, it’s likely they wouldn’t escape a lawsuit.

So this masked person’s outfit didn’t cause much astonishment,

Instead, everyone excitedly watched the stage, and as this person took the stage, the room swiftly fell silent, which had been noisy and bustling just moments ago.

Now, the entire Cuiyun Building was quiet enough that you could hear a pin drop.

Seeing everyone gradually quiet down, the masked person didn’t waste time, and with a gesture of the hand, a servant of the Cuiyun Building came up with a tray,

The tray was covered with a large red silk cloth, on top of which lay a delicate wooden box.

The appearance of the wooden box immediately captured everyone’s attention, with all eyes locking onto it, wondering if it contained that legendary phone.

This stirred the audience’s breathing to become increasingly heavy.

"Haha, thank you for waiting patiently, everyone. You must all have understood today’s event.

Yes, today we plan to auction a ’Thousand Mile Eye and Ear’. This ’Thousand Mile Eye and Ear’ requires no explanation from me; everyone is already well aware, probably even more so than I am."

These words were not exaggerated in the least. Although the crowd around might not have seen it with their own eyes, they heard the legends of ’Thousand Mile Eye and Ear’ daily,

with all sorts of versions, so wonderful in their own right, that their understanding surpassed many others.

Of course, this understanding was only surface-level, just intentionally spread, relying on imagination and conjecture, unable to truly capture the phone’s powerful features.

Just like a little story heard before, about two old farmers chatting while weeding in a field, each speculating that today’s emperor surely lived worry-free. They imagined that even during the Emperor’s early days, he must have used a Golden Hoe.

Their status and perspective limited their imaginations. Because of this, although the masked person spoke such words, he still directly reached out to take the tray, and, under everyone’s eyes, slowly opened the wooden box.

And when the wooden box was opened, everyone held their breath, looking toward the stage.

What surprised them, however, was that once the wooden box was opened, there was another smaller box inside,

And even the material of the box looked extraordinary and unusual,

The whole box appeared very clean, and on it was an object that astonished them,

Yes, this was the box for the Nuclear Creation Phone.

And as a phone box, it was adorned with an image of the phone. However, this was not drawn but printed.
