After all, it is really heartbreaking to use 30% of the profit to exchange for banknotes.

Some merchants with unique vision will barter and then take the goods back to their home countries to sell them. They can make more money, but they also spend more time on the road.

Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu were not really doing business, but in order to pave the way for the future, they planned to trade with the Western Han Dynasty according to the normal business model this time, which could be regarded as broadening a way to make money.

However, these things will naturally be handled by the people below, and they do not need to do everything themselves.

While drinking tea and listening to the waiter describing the rules that were similar to those of the auction houses of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Bai Ling and Bai Ling were very calm.

"Let your managers come over here. I have something to auction." There were several pearls in Bai Ling's palm. They were not a single color, and the quality was excellent.

As soon as the clerk saw it, he knew it was a big deal, and his attitude became a little warmer, so he hurriedly went out to find someone.

Just in case the walls had ears, Bai Ling soaked in tea and wrote a line of small words on the table asking why Shangguan Yu didn't say anything.

The purpose of their coming here is to make friends with others. They know clearly that the items being auctioned are that person's works, but if they don't show unusual appreciation, they may find it difficult to make friends with them.

Shangguan Yu chuckled and did not answer Bai Ling, but it seemed a bit mysterious.

Bai Ling pursed her lips, pinched the back of Shangguan Yu's hand across the table.

Soon the steward came in, looked at the pearls Bai Ling brought with a smile on his face, and immediately gave a high price.

At the auction outside, the price soared to ten thousand taels of silver, and the number of bidders gradually decreased.

"Twenty thousand." Shangguan Yu casually called out a price, which was nearly double the price outside.

The steward was about to give the starting price for the auction, but was unable to say it because of Shangguan Yu's bidding.

"Look at it, steward, what's the quality of these pearls? Might they fetch a good price?" Bai Ling asked.

"They are all top quality. I wonder if this lady has an estimate in mind?" The steward rolled his eyes and waited for Bai Ling to speak first.

For auction houses, the higher the auction price, the more they make.

"I won't auction these pearls separately." Bai Ling put down another purse. Looking at the shape inside, he knew it was full of pearls. "I want to auction the pearls in the steward's hand together. If the price is ideal, these pearls will be auctioned together."

Pearls, I can sell them to the auction house at 30% cheaper than the auction price."

When the steward heard this, his eyes were filled with the shape of ingots.

With Bai Ling's permission, the manager opened his wallet and checked the quality. All of them were top quality.

"Don't worry, sir. I'll go down and make arrangements right away. I'll make sure you two are satisfied." The steward left with a few loose pearls, determined to win this life.

And someone outside called for a price, but it was a thousand taels more than Shangguan Yu's price.

"One hundred thousand taels." Shangguan Yu spoke again, eliciting bursts of exclamations from the auction house.

One hundred thousand taels can be used to sell a few jade carvings that are being auctioned, so it's not worth it at all.

But Shangguan Yu's calm tone made everyone understand that the man in the private room was not a man short of money. As long as he liked something, he would definitely get it.

Bai Ling tasted the tea calmly and said to Shangguan Yu: "The tea here is good. I have never drunk this tea before, but it is very fragrant. You should try it too."

"Madam, don't you think your husband is a waste of money?" Shangguan Yu asked with a chuckle.

When they got married, Shangguan Yu turned over all his property, but just as he said, he would let Bai Ling take care of him from now on.

Therefore, the money for doing business this time naturally came from Bai Ling.

"The husband is responsible for being as beautiful as a flower and making money for his wife to support the family. It's just a small amount of money, as long as the husband is happy." Bai Ling replied with a wink.

Shangguan Yulang laughed out loud, but the outside was silent as he laughed.

I spent a lot of money on something that was a loss, and I still smile so happily. Is there something wrong with my brain?

Even those who raised the price did not dare to raise the price again after hearing Shangguan Yu's laughter.

In the end, Shangguan Yu bought a jade sculpture for one hundred thousand taels of silver.

"You've made a profit!" When Bai Ling saw the jade carving, his eyes instantly lit up like stars, and he said to Shangguan Yu: "The quality of this jade is not good now, but it can be warmed and maintained. And the carving master doesn't dare to do it.

After going back and carving it more carefully, someone even robbed it of two hundred thousand taels of silver."

Bai Ling's so-called raising jade is not an ordinary method, but putting it into space.

The jade carvings are not small, and if they are all well maintained, they will take more years, but they will definitely become high-quality jade.

"In the Western Han Dynasty, although there are few water areas, it is rich in minerals. If you like it, Madam, you can see more of it. You can definitely make a lot of money by doing this business." Looking at Bai Ling's money-obsessed look, Shangguan Yu said dotingly.

In the past, Shangguan Yu had nothing to do with business, and because of the special status of the Han Palace, he could not expand this financial path of the Western Han Dynasty.

But now that there is Bai Ling's jade shop and the Duan family's caravan, the Liu family can also take the lead alone in the future, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to do this business.

While the couple was discussing here, colored pearls were being auctioned outside.

A total of five colors of pearls, with a starting price of 50,000 taels, are not auctioned separately. This is the first time an auction house has done so.

In the private room at the corner, the people inside were preparing to leave after their belongings were auctioned.

But after hearing the five-color pearls, I sat back again.

The auctioneer introduced the shapes of five-color pearls and their values ​​eloquently.

But this kind of business is already beyond the reach of individual customers. Even wealthy people have to weigh it carefully before bidding.

Five-color pearls are certainly of the highest quality for making jewelry.

But the medicinal value of the black pearls and purple pearls far outweighs their decorative value.

If five pearls are auctioned separately, these two colors will definitely sell for a sky-high price, and other pearls can also be auctioned for around ten thousand taels.

"Go and find out where those pearls came from." The guests in the box looked hot, but after calculating the available banknotes, they couldn't help but feel anxious.

The black pearl, he must get it.

But the price...

I just hope that I won’t be photographed too high, otherwise I am destined to miss it, and I don’t know when I will encounter it next time.

On the other side, Mr. and Mrs. Bai Ling were discussing tea, as if they didn't care at all about the prices at auctions outside.

Bai Ling drew a fishhook on the table and asked Shangguan Yu with his eyes.

After waiting for a long time for the person in the box to speak, Bai Ling had some doubts about whether the information Shangguan Yu had received was accurate.

"I'm in a hurry and can't drink hot tea. Madam, why don't you wait a moment?" Shangguan Yu smiled confidently and used tea as a metaphor for the fish they wanted to catch.

Bai Ling raised his eyebrows, grabbed a handful of dried fruits, and placed them next to Shangguan Yu.

"If you can't drink tea, why don't you peel some nuts for your wife?" Bai Ling was a little bored waiting, so he found something for Shangguan Yu to do.

Holding her chin with one hand, Bai Ling admired the handsome man serving her.

I have to say that Shangguan Yu is really eye-catching in his gorgeous clothes.

Different from the black outfit that he is used to, Shangguan Yu, who is now wearing light-colored clothes, has a bit more warmth on his body.

Perhaps because he didn't have to worry about so many things, Shangguan Yu's eyes became much clearer, and they were no longer solemn in thinking all the time.
