Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

After a round of bidding, the second item was brought up.

Under the red cloth, all you can see is a long strip of object.

The people present were all suspicious, "What is this? Could it be some technology being sold again?"

The person being questioned shook his head. "I don't think so. If it was technical, he would have said it all at once."

"Let's just wait and see."

When the red silk was unveiled, many people present showed disdainful expressions.

"It's just a knife, isn't it? What's so special about it?"

The MC chuckled and said, "I wonder if anyone here likes swords."

"I wonder if anyone would be willing to lend us the weapons they are wearing."

"Of course, if it is damaged, we at Wangyue Tower are willing to compensate at the original price."

Cheng Fei has always been somewhat unhappy with Wangyue Tower and was worried about where to find fault.

He immediately took off his sword and asked his servant to hand it to him.

He stood up and laughed wildly.

"I spent a lot of money to buy this dagger. It is said that it took a forging expert from the Northern Frontier three months to make it."

"Blowing hair can cut hair, and slicing iron can make it look like mud."

"Are you guys at Wangyue Tower really confident? Don't be careless and ruin your reputation."

"If your knife breaks, I'm afraid you will lose face."

Cheng Fei's voice was so loud that everyone present could hear it clearly.

Including Lin Shu and the emperor in the private room.

Lin Shu was so angry that he wanted to go down and smash the man's head.

The emperor smiled and touched Lin Shu's head. "Just watch. Daddy has confidence in his things."

Lin Shu was very indignant, "Is this a question of confidence or not?"

"He is showing disdain for you, Daddy!"

"This guy is just here to cause trouble."

The emperor smiled gently, "It's enough for you to trust Daddy. This guy will be slapped in the face soon, just wait and see."

Lin Shu felt a little strange when he saw the emperor's confident expression, but he suppressed his curiosity and continued reading.

The waiter of Wangyue Tower picked up a long knife and clashed with Cheng Fei's short sword.

The dagger broke with a sound.

There wasn't even a single notch on the long sword.

Cheng Fei's arrogant expression froze on his face.

"How can this be!"

He rushed onto the stage in disbelief and looked at his precious dagger.

He shouted angrily at the people in Wangyue Tower: "You are cheating!"

The MC chuckled, "We are conducting the experiment under everyone's eyes, so there is no chance for cheating."

"Master Cheng, we will compensate you for your sword. Please tell our people the price after you are done."

"Okay, let's continue the auction."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Fei refused to give in and started to attack the emcee.

He was stopped by people from Wangyue Tower.

At this time, the audience was also discussing, "This young master of the Cheng family is not worth playing with. He clearly agreed on something before, but he started to cheat right away."

"If the Cheng family really falls into their hands, I'm afraid it will be the end."

"Who dares to do business with him?"

Cheng Fei listened to the discussions of the people around him, unable to lose face, and said, "I don't believe it. Try it again. If I can break another weapon, then I will believe it."

The MC smiled and said, "No problem, I wonder if anyone else would like to give it a try."

The others present looked at each other, fearing that their treasures would be destroyed.

They are all experts in swords and other weapons, and they all know whether they are fake or not, and they don't want to embarrass themselves.

Cheng Fei laughed angrily, pointed at someone in the crowd and said, "Don't you like playing with swords?"

"Go up and try it. If it breaks, I will compensate you double."

When the person who was called out heard this, he was very unhappy. If it really broke, he might just take a picture of the sharp blade.

He happily ran up with the knife in his arms.

As expected, his knife broke into two pieces.

He walked up to Cheng Fei with a sad face and said, "Look, I can't do this either. Master Cheng Fei, you have to fulfill your promise."

Cheng Fei's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. "Put away that smile on your face and talk to me again."

The man touched the corner of his mouth and asked, "Is it that obvious?"

When the auction started, this man took advantage of the fact that someone else had lost money and raised the price frantically, looking like he was determined to win.

This made Cheng Fei even more furious.

I just find this person unpleasant no matter how I look at him.

Cheng Fei felt even more unhappy when he saw the man's smug look.

"I'll offer five thousand taels!" Cheng Fei said gritting his teeth.

Wang Ran, who had received the news earlier, had already prepared the money and was ready to cheat him.

Wang Ran fanned the flames: "Hey, isn't this Master Cheng? Why are you interested in this junk?"

Cheng Fei glared at Wang Ran fiercely, ignored him, and continued to bid: "Six thousand taels!"

Wang Ran sneered, "You want to take it away for only 6,000 taels? You really underestimate this precious sword! I'll give you 7,000 taels!"

Cheng Fei was furious. It was obvious that Wang Ran was deliberately going against him!

"Eight thousand taels!" Cheng Fei almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

Wang Ran was not to be outdone: "Nine thousand taels!"

Cheng Fei felt like his lungs were about to explode. This Wang Ran was simply going too far!

Wang Ran would naturally not really pay nine thousand taels for this knife. He looked at Cheng Fei with a sneer on his face.

"Mr. Cheng, you don't have the money to follow me after paying nine thousand taels?"

"I think the title of the richest man is just a facade."

Cheng Fei couldn't listen to what Wang Ran said, and his eyes turned red with anger.

"Ten thousand taels!" Cheng Fei roared, raising the price to a staggering height.

The people around were in an uproar. No one expected that a knife could be sold at such a high price.

Wang Ran looked at Cheng Fei with a smile, his eyes full of cunning.

"Congratulations, Master Cheng. For ten thousand taels, this knife is yours!" the emcee made the final decision.

Cheng Fei then realized that he had been fooled by Wang Ran. He actually spent a high price of 10,000 taels to buy a broken knife!

"Wang Ran, you are kidding me!"

Wang Ran shrugged. "Any fool can see it, but you can't."

“Who can be blamed for this?”

"This guy is stupid. It's better for him to stay at home and not embarrass himself."

"It would save you from losing face and money. Even if you are the son of the richest man, you can't afford to fail like this."

The people present couldn't help laughing and felt that what Wang Ran said made a lot of sense.

I didn't expect that the idle dude I saw before could say such words.

Lin Shu was also laughing and clapping upstairs.

"This Wang Ran is really good at talking. He must be pissing this bastard off to death."

Only then did Lin Shu remember to ask her father why he was so sure before.

The emperor then slowly said, "Your father is so sure because I tried it with my own sword out of curiosity."

The emperor curled his lips before continuing, "It's the same fate. I don't believe their swords can be as good as mine."

Lin Shu burst out laughing.

"Dad, then you must not let them fight you alone again."

The emperor tapped Lin Shu's little head and said, "I, your father, am not in a hurry. It won't be too late to make it after they have developed the current technology."

Seeing that the two were on edge, the host quickly interrupted their conversation.

"Next, it's time for the much-anticipated auction of beauty pills."

The emcee finished speaking and clapped his hands.

One by one, crystal clear beauty pills were brought up, emitting an attractive luster under the light.

"This beauty pill is a good thing. I don't need to elaborate on its specific functions."

"I believe everyone here knows the effects of this beauty pill better than I do."

The people in the audience laughed out loud: "Why don't you start the auction? You are wasting everyone's time by talking so much."

"Who says it's not? This is a treasure that money can't buy! Let's get started."

"I must take one and give it to my wife!"

The people in the audience were talking about it, and their eyes were full of desire when they looked at Meirongdan.

Cheng Fei was also determined to win. This was his father's instruction, and he had to get it no matter what.

As long as this thing is taken outside the pass, it will be a priceless treasure.

Whether it is Beijiang or Dilan, the environment is not good. If those nobles knew about this thing, they would just scramble for it.

Cheng Fei was still thinking, and the others had already named the price before the host opened his mouth.

"I'll pay five thousand taels!"

"I'll pay eight thousand taels!"

"I'll pay ten thousand taels!"

The price soared all the way and soon broke through the 10,000 tael mark.

Cheng Fei gritted his teeth and shouted, "I'll give you 15,000 taels!"

"Seventeen thousand taels!" Wang Ran's voice rang out again.

Cheng Fei was furious. Why was Wang Ran everywhere?

"Twenty thousand taels!" Cheng Fei raised the price again.

"Twenty-five thousand taels!" Wang Ran followed slowly.

Cheng Fei felt like his heart was bleeding, but when he thought that it was all for the sake of building good relations with Beijiang and the others, and that at most he would not make any money, he just gave it a try.

"Thirty thousand taels!" Cheng Fei said gritting his teeth.

Wang Ran smiled and did not raise the price. He knew that this fool would not be fooled a second time.

In the end, Cheng Fei bought a beauty pill at a sky-high price of thirty thousand taels.

Those who were not photographed immediately beat their chests and stamped their feet, and many ladies almost twisted the handkerchiefs in their hands.

Cheng Fei looked at the beauty pills in his hand with resentment in his heart. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to make much money from selling these 30,000 taels outside the customs!

It was all Wang Ran’s fault.

Next is the auction of wool product manufacturing patents.

Cheng Fei looked at the exquisite wool products displayed on the stage, and his original disdain turned into desire. The wool was worthless, so he naturally looked down on it!

But this technology is different. No matter how dumb he is, he knows what a new technology represents.

He looked at the banknotes he brought with him, and his expression darkened.

Maybe if he could use his family's power to scare those people, he might be able to get them at a low price.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up.

"I wonder if you can give our Cheng family some face."

"As long as you don't compete with my Cheng family, future cooperation will be easy."

Hearing this, many businessmen spat in disdain.

"This Cheng Fei is so shameless."

"Who says it isn't?"

"This is new technology. Everyone knows that you can make a lot of money if you master new technology, but you still want to cooperate with him."

"If we can get this, maybe we can even surpass his family."

"That's right. Everyone knows that the companies that bought the fireworks patents two years ago made a lot of money."

Some businessmen are even more unethical and just quote the price directly.

"I'll give you twenty thousand taels!"

"I'll pay thirty thousand taels!"

"Forty thousand taels!"

The price soared and soon exceeded Cheng Fei's affordability.

Cheng Fei gritted his teeth and wished he could skin these people alive.

He was usually very respectful to his family, but at this moment he turned against them.

If he had not been angered by Wang Ran before and had not spent a high price to buy the broken knife and the beauty pill, he would have been able to master this technology now!

Cheng Fei's heart was filled with regret, but it was too late to regret now.

He could only watch others taking pictures, fearing that he would be ridiculed when he returned.

The wool patent was finally bought by Boss Li, who had seen the potential for it long ago, for 100,000 taels.

"One hundred thousand taels! Boss Li is crazy!"

"That's right. Spending so much money just to buy a patent for wool production is probably too much money to burn!"

The people around were all amazed, thinking that Boss Li was absolutely crazy for spending such a high price just to get a patent.

"I don't know when I can earn back the money I put in with these 100,000 taels."

"I'm telling you, he'll have something to cry about later."

Boss Li just smiled slightly, but in his heart he thought that they didn't know the value of this thing. This was a first of its kind. If it could be made into scarves, it could also be made into clothes. It would be a huge source of income!

Nowadays, winter clothes are made of very few raw materials, and most of them are made of cotton.

He always wears this woolen scarf around his neck just to know how warm it is.

There were now beads of sweat on his neck.

He can conclude that there will definitely be a market for this kind of clothes in the future.

Moreover, he had been following the Cheng family's movements and knew that they were buying a large amount of wool, the price of which was now so low that it could be ignored.

He also collected some.

It comes in handy now.

Even if the price of wool increases in the future, it will not be too much higher. This means that the price will not be too high.

"Since the price is low, it means ordinary people can afford it." Boss Li stroked his beard and muttered silently.

"Wool blankets are finely made and have rich dyeing, so they can enter the high-end market."

"One piece of wool can be consumed by most people. I don't know how much money I can make by then!"

Boss Li seemed to have seen the huge piles of silver waving at him.

The smile on the corners of his mouth couldn't help but widen.

He didn't care about other people's eyes at all.

Just at this moment, Boss Zhao, who had squeezed in earlier, squeezed over.

"Lao Li, let's cooperate! As you know, I have many stores. When you make something, I will help you sell it."

"I'm afraid you won't get much money from the auction. If I help you sell it, you can save some money."

"If you think it's okay, we'll go write a contract in a moment."

Old Li rolled his eyes and said immediately, "Okay, let's put it this way."

But what he was thinking in his heart was that if he was the only one who got the benefits, the Cheng family would not let him go.

If he finds others to join him, the combined force may not be afraid of him.

Besides, we don’t know how much money will be invested in the future, so it is still very necessary to find someone to cooperate with.

After discussing it, the two decided to find another investor.

It would be best if he was powerful, so that even if the Cheng family wanted to touch him, they would have to think twice.

He scanned the venue, trying to find someone suitable.
