Chapter 122: Selling War Trophies, A Fortune Earned!
Chapter 122: Selling War Trophies, A Fortune Earned!
Canglang Martial Studio.
"Silence!" Wang Jin's voice rang out, and the entire studio suddenly became quiet.
He then turned to Xiao Peng, "Do you really want to compete with Jiang Ning?"
Xiao Peng nodded firmly, "I do! Since I've fulfilled Master Wang's request, I won't be satisfied until I compete with Jiang Ning. I see the Patrol Bureau as an opportunity to change my fate, and I'll grasp it with all my might!"
"Good!" Wang Jin nodded, "This is your right. Since I've set this rule, it's your decision. I'll contact Jiang Ning and have him compete with you three days from now."
"Thank you, Master Wang!" Xiao Peng's face lit up with joy, and he bowed respectfully.
The onlookers' eyes gleamed with anticipation, eager to witness the upcoming spectacle.
It was clear that whoever won the competition three days later would become Wang Jin's direct disciple and also have the chance to participate in the Patrol Bureau's assessment.
Meanwhile, Cheng Ran arrived at Jiang Ning's residence only to find that Jiang Ning had already left.
After a moment's thought, he instructed his accompanying servant to return to the studio and inform them, while he waited in the mansion for Jiang Ning's return.
Wanhua Tower.
As Jiang Ning stepped through the entrance once more, the same female attendant from before greeted him.
"Little Green, nice to see you again!" Jiang Ning smiled.
The attendant, dressed in a green skirt, returned the smile and gracefully bowed, "Greetings, Master Jiang. May I ask what brings you here today?"
"I'd like to sell some items," Jiang Ning replied.
"Understood!" Little Green bowed gracefully, "Please follow me, Master Jiang, and I'll fetch Master Qian to appraise your items."
"Thank you, Little Green," Jiang Ning said.
Soon, under Little Green's guidance, Jiang Ning arrived at a VIP room on the first floor.
A moment later...
As Jiang Ning savored the tea, the VIP room's door was pushed open once more.
Among the three who entered, two were familiar to Jiang Ning.
One was Han Hongmei, the manager, and the other was Little Green, an attendant at Wanhua Tower.
The third person was an elderly man who appeared to be in his sixties, with white hair and eyebrows, and a wise gleam in his eyes.
Jiang Ning rose to greet them.
Han Hongmei smiled softly, "It's been a while, Master Jiang!"
"It's been a while, Manager Han!" Jiang Ning responded with a slight smile.
Han Hongmei spoke up, "Let me introduce you to someone."
She withdrew her hand from her abdomen and gestured towards the elderly man.
"This is Master Qian, the most discerning appraiser in our tower. I heard that you wish to sell some items, and Master Qian will be appraising them for you."
Jiang Ning bowed to the elderly man, "Greetings, Master Qian."
"I've heard of you!" Master Qian looked at Jiang Ning with a hint of awe, "For Shen Congyun to value you so highly, you must have extraordinary qualities!"
"Master Qian, you flatter me," Jiang Ning said.
At that moment, Han Hongmei spoke up, "Please, everyone, take a seat and let's discuss."
She turned to the attendant behind her, "Little Green, prepare the tea!"
"Yes, Manager!" Little Green bowed gracefully and began preparing the tea with small, delicate steps.
Once seated, Master Qian asked Jiang Ning, "May I ask what you plan to sell?"
Jiang Ning replied, "I heard that Wanhua Tower has a rule to never disclose any customer's sales information."
"Of course!" Han Hongmei quickly added, "At Wanhua Tower, customer information is of the highest confidentiality. Although nothing is set in stone, if you wish to obtain a customer's information, it would require the headquarters' branch leader to speak up. Otherwise, it's impossible."
Hearing these words, Jiang Ning felt even more at ease.
He had known about Wanhua Tower's strict policies and their extreme discretion regarding customer information.
There had never been a case of customer information being leaked.
Although Han Hongmei's words didn't guarantee absolute confidentiality, they still reassured Jiang Ning.
As long as the owner of Wanhua Tower speaks, then the customer's information can be revealed.
Far from feeling unassured, Jiang Ning trusted these words even more.
Selling illicit goods at Wanhua Tower, he need not worry about others finding out.
This was Wanhua Tower's business reputation over hundreds of years, naturally trustworthy.
As Han Hongmei said, nothing is absolute.
If someone could make the owner speak, then there would be no real confidentiality.
This was reasonable.
After that.
Jiang Ning untied the nearby package and took out a pair of black gloves, a martial arts manual called Iron Sand Palm, and a dagger.
The black gloves were from Tian Buyi.
As for the Iron Sand Palm manual, it was from Hong Chengtao.
The dagger was also from a companion of Hong Chengtao.
As Jiang Ning took out these items from the package, a hint of surprise flashed in Master Qian's eyes.
Then, he picked up the dagger, glanced at it casually, weighed it, and tapped the blade lightly with his fingers, listening to the tremor.

After a while.
Master Qian spoke, "This is a dagger forged from about 130 refined fine iron by the Weaponsmith Shop. If sold at the shop, it would be worth about 150 taels of silver."
"Now, we'll buy it back at 70% of its value, so it's 105 taels of silver."
"What do you think?"
For the last four words, he looked up at Jiang Ning.
Hearing this, Jiang Ning calmly nodded, "Agreed!"
Then.
Master Qian put down the dagger and picked up the Iron Sand Palm manual.
After a quick browse, he said, "Iron Sand Palm is a lower-grade cultivation technique, widely circulated, not very precious. A manual like this, with extremely detailed records of the Iron Sand Palm technique, usually sells for 500 taels of silver."
"Now, we'll buy it back at 70% of its value, so it's 350 taels of silver."
"What do you think?"
For the last four words, Master Qian looked up at Jiang Ning again.
"Agreed!"
Jiang Ning still nodded calmly.
Then.
Master Qian put down the manual, placed it aside, and picked up the black gloves.
This time, he examined them carefully.
He caressed them, pressed them to his cheeks, and bit them hard with his teeth.
It took him over ten tries.
Only then did Master Qian put down the gloves from Tian Buyi.
He said, "These gloves are extraordinary, woven from the silk of the extremely precious Black Jade Mystic Spider. The toughness of this spider silk is no less than that of Mystic Gold, hence the name Black Spider Mystic Gold Silk."
"This spider silk is extremely tough, resistant to fruits, and not easily damaged by swords or blades. Therefore, this item is valuable."
"It's also a complete pair of gloves."
"In my estimation, this item is worth about 5,0000 taels of silver on the market."
"Now, we'll buy it back at 70% of its value, so it's 3,500 taels of silver."
"Do you think you can accept it?"
Jiang Ning listened carefully and nodded slowly, "Agreed!"
At this moment, Han Hongmei spoke up.
"Jiang Ning, these three items total 395.5 taels of silver. I'll round it up to 400 taels, Jiang Ning. Do you think it's okay?"
"Agreed!" Jiang Ning nodded, "I still trust Wanhua Tower's business reputation."
Hearing Jiang Ning's praise, Han Hongmei smiled softly, "In that case, I'll send someone to get the silver bills?"
Jiang Ning stopped her, "No rush!"
"Does Jiang Ning have other matters to attend to?" Han Hongmei looked up at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning said, "I want to buy some more things. Let's calculate everything together later to avoid trouble."
"Alright, we'll follow Jiang Ning's lead," Han Hongmei agreed.
