Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1430 - 1226: Truly Wealthy (2)

This moment gave him quite a shock, yet also sobered him up. Indeed, the current situation was truly difficult; if the price went higher and got stuck with him, it would be impossible to explain upon return.

Thinking about this, he could only sigh helplessly.

But as the bidding continued in the factory, the price of 160,000 silver did not become final; surprisingly, people kept offering higher prices,

causing the scene to be exceptionally lively for a while. Some even seemed to be fooling around or trying to join the excitement,

actually bidding an extra hundred silver, which ignited resentment in the hearts of these people, and perhaps their funds were really limited, as each bid increased from thousands to hundreds.

Thus, bidding by increments of a hundred silver caused the bids in the factory to increase in number, considering a thousand was quite a significant number.

Inside, everyone was holding their breath silently. It’s impossible to let him win this mobile phone with just a hundred silver difference, right?

This face value was worth more than just a hundred silver. If it were to spread later that they lost to someone over just a hundred silver, wouldn’t that be degrading oneself?

Indeed, this was exactly what everyone was thinking at the moment. Since it was their first time experiencing an auction, they actually came to this conclusion, thus, the bidding never stopped intermittently.

The man in black on stage went from initially excited to later shocked. He never imagined such a scenario today. He sighed inwardly, thinking the Emperor was wise; now, the price was practically limitless. Maybe they could set a record-high price?

No, it’s not a matter of maybe setting a high price, it’s that now a high price has indeed been hit, leaving him incredibly shocked.

The current price reached 180,000 silver, an amount that made his hand holding the phone tremble.

What does 180,000 silver mean? This was a number he couldn’t even dream of.

Previously, Great Yu Country’s half-year tax revenue wasn’t even this much.

Now, unexpectedly, they could earn so much silver with just one phone; how could he not be shocked?

This still wasn’t the end; the price continued unabated, and it seemed people found some way around it — as long as he raised the hammer and counted to two, immediately someone would raise their bid sign.

"Alright, now it’s 193,100 silver. Is there anything more? If not, then congratulations to Shopkeeper Liu for securing this first mobile phone at a price of 193,100 silver today."

With this closing statement, no one spoke again in the cabin, causing a flush of excitement to color Shopkeeper Liu’s face. Without exaggeration, he could say he was now holding victory securely; the phone belonged to him, which made him naturally thrilled.

Especially seeing no one else speak around him, he was even more assured. This time, he had truly succeeded in securing the mobile phone.

Although he invested more than half of his wealth directly into it, he felt it was all worthwhile, for he saw its great potential; this phone was easily worth more than its price. If he resold it, perhaps someone would bid higher to take it.

Of course, even if he knew others might bid higher, he’d never sell it because he understood one thing clearly — this phone is priceless.

Frankly speaking, right now in Great Yu Country, aside from the full court of officials, only the Emperor and those royal nobles could obtain a phone.

Except for him, there was no outsider, which was quite a rare honor, a symbol of status and prestige. As soon as he announced this news, wouldn’t his status in Great Yu Country be secure?

That’s where his cleverness lay; just from this point, it was clear the price of the phone was definitely worth it.

Moreover, if managed properly, it won’t be hard to earn back the dozens of silver thousands.

Not to mention, just talking about the phone’s utility could save him hundreds of silver with each caravan journey.

Following the black-dressed man’s three calls, finally, his hammer fell heavily onto the table before him, seemingly striking everyone’s heart and causing a collective gasp.

Then, Shopkeeper Liu stood up, cupping his hands around to everyone, a big smile spreading across his face.

"Hahaha, congratulations to Shopkeeper Liu, shopkeeper’s deep pockets make acquiring this mobile phone truly commendable."

"Ah, I bow to your superiority. It’s just a pity that recently, I invested a large sum into business, or the phone might not have ended up in Shopkeeper Liu’s hands today. Haha, but, Shopkeeper, isn’t it time to celebrate with a feast for acquiring this joyful mobile phone?"

"Shopkeeper Liu, this time, you shall indeed prosper; this mobile can communicate with the Emperor! In this way, it’s like reaching the pinnacle instantly."

Ah, we’re truly envious, really wanting this mobile phone, but unfortunately, we monsters don’t have any silver. Not to mention the 190,000 silver, not even 90,000, not even 9,000 can we afford.

"Ha, dear brother, you speak as if anyone might have it; not mentioning 9,000 silver, my entire assets combined only totaled to 900 silver."

"Honestly dear brother, I initially thought, with prices increasing by 100 or so silver at the beginning, my several hundreds of silver could land me a chance; but alas, those several hundreds weren’t even close to others’ leftovers of change, haha, quite laughable indeed."

In short, there were all sorts of comments in the surroundings, the sound of congratulations ceaselessly echoed, and various sour remarks continuously reached Shopkeeper Liu’s ears, but regardless of what everyone said,

none of it could suppress his inner excitement.

The excitement within him was beyond words; no matter what, he was now the brightest star in the whole scene, one of the most powerful figures in Great Yu Country.

Of course, when he referred to powerful figures, he wasn’t including the Emperor and the whole court of officials.

He meant himself as a businessman, already considered a top achiever, an elite among merchants.

And in fact, it was indeed like this; the price of 190,000 silver was enough for his name to spread across Great Yu Country and even the world.

Everyone who mentioned this would sigh with admiration, "This guy has money."

Previously mentioned was also that Lin Yi is the Emperor of Great Yu Country; otherwise, who would dare flaunt wealth like this?

This 190,000 silver was enough to invoke disaster upon oneself.

Of course, as Lin Yi watched the entire scene through video, he too sighed inwardly, realizing in any era, merchants indeed were the wealthiest!

Not to mention Shopkeeper Liu directly came out with 190,000 silver, during bidding, there were over a hundred people beginning with bids of tens of thousands of silver.

This meant these individuals had assets exceeding tens of thousands of silver.

people having tens of thousands each equates to an astronomical figure; it could be said to be richer than the current national treasury of Great Yu Country.

"Haha, so much silver cannot remain in their hands; it must be used for the people!

Seems my decision was correct; the Royal Bank was indeed launched at the right moment!

With this bank, it won’t take long for these silvers to flow into the bank."
