Chapter 122: Selling the Loot, Big Money Coming In!
Chapter 122: Selling the Loot, Big Money Coming In!
Canglang Martial Academy.
"Silence!" Wang Jin's voice rang out, and the entire academy suddenly fell quiet.
Then, he looked at Xiao Peng and asked, "Do you really want to compete with Jiang Ning?"
Xiao Peng nodded firmly, "Yes! Since I've met Master Wang's requirements and decided not to compete with Jiang Ning, I can't let this opportunity go. I know that the Inspection Bureau is a chance to change my fate, and I will do my best to seize it!"
"Good!" Wang Jin nodded, "That's your right. Since I've set this rule, it's your decision. I'll contact Jiang Ning and let him compete with you three days later."
"Thank you, Master Wang!" Xiao Peng's expression brightened, and he bowed respectfully.
Hearing this, the onlookers' eyes lit up, eager to witness the upcoming showdown.
Meanwhile, at Jiang Ning's residence, Cheng Ran learned that Jiang Ning had already left.
After a moment's thought, Cheng Ran instructed his accompanying servant to return to the academy to inform them, while he waited in the mansion for Jiang Ning's return.
Wan Hua Tower.
As Jiang Ning stepped through the doors once more, the same green-clad servant girl, Xiao Lu, greeted him with a smile.
Xiao Lu, in her green dress, returned the smile and gracefully bowed, "Greetings, Master Jiang. May I ask what brings you here today?"
Jiang Ning replied, "I want to sell some items."
"I understand, Master Jiang." Xiao Lu bowed gracefully, "Please follow me to the VIP room, and I'll fetch Elder Qian for the appraisal."
"Thank you, Xiao Lu," said Jiang Ning.
Led by Xiao Lu, Jiang Ning soon arrived at a VIP room on the first floor.
Moments later, as Jiang Ning savored his tea, the VIP room's door opened once more.
Among the three who entered, two were familiar to Jiang Ning—Han Hongmei, the director, and Xiao Lu, the servant girl.
The third person was an elderly man, seemingly in his sixties, with white hair and a wise gleam in his eyes.
Jiang Ning rose to greet them.
Han Hongmei smiled, "It's been a while, Master Jiang!"
Jiang Ning returned the smile, "It has indeed been a while, Director Han."
Han Hongmei spoke, "I've brought Elder Qian, our most discerning appraiser. I've heard you wish to sell some items, and he will provide an estimate."
Jiang Ning bowed to the elderly man, "Greetings, Elder Qian."
Elder Qian looked at Jiang Ning, a sigh of appreciation on his face, "If Shen Congyun values you so highly, you must be extraordinary!"
"Thank you, Elder Qian," said Jiang Ning.
Han Hongmei spoke up, "Please, everyone, take a seat and let's discuss."
She turned to the servant girl, "Xiao Lu, serve the tea."
"Yes, Director!" Xiao Lu bowed gracefully and prepared to serve tea with small, quick steps.
Elder Qian addressed Jiang Ning, "May I ask what you wish to sell?"
Jiang Ning replied, "I heard Wan Hua Tower has a rule to never disclose customer information."
"Absolutely!" Han Hongmei quickly added, "At Wan Hua Tower, customer information is strictly confidential. Only the tower owner can authorize its release. We never reveal customer details."
Jiang Ning felt reassured by Han Hongmei's words, knowing Wan Hua Tower's strict code of conduct, especially regarding customer confidentiality. There had never been a breach.
As long as the owner of Wan Hua Tower speaks, customer information can be revealed.
Far from feeling insecure, Jiang Ning trusted this statement even more.
Selling dirty goods at Wan Hua Tower, he didn't need to worry about being discovered by others.
This was Wan Hua Tower's business reputation over hundreds of years, naturally trustworthy.
Just as Han Hongmei said, nothing is absolute.
If someone could make the owner speak, there would be no true 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 Bu Yi.
As for the Iron Sand Palm manual, it came from Hong Cheng Tao.
The dagger also came from a colleague of Hong Cheng Tao.
When Jiang Ning took out these items from the package, a hint of surprise flashed through Elder Qian's eyes.
He first picked up the dagger, glanced at it casually, weighed it, and then gently tapped the blade with his finger, listening to the vibration.
A moment later.
Elder Qian spoke, "This is a dagger made from refined iron, forged about 130 times, and would be worth around 150 taels if sold at a weapons shop."
"Now, we'll buy it back at a 70% discount, for 105 taels."
"What do you think?"
With the last four words, he looked up at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning nodded calmly, "Agreed!"
Immediately.
Elder Qian put down the dagger and picked up the Iron Sand Palm manual.
He flipped through it briefly and said, "Iron Sand Palm is a low-grade technique, widely circulated, not particularly valuable. A detailed manual like this is usually priced at 500 taels."
"Now, we'll buy it back at a 70% discount, for 350 taels."
"What do you think?"
With the last four words, Elder Qian looked up at Jiang Ning again.
"Agreed!"
Jiang Ning nodded calmly again.
Then.
Elder Qian put down the manual and placed it aside, picking up the black gloves.
This time, he examined them carefully.
He caressed them, pressed them against his cheeks, and even bit them hard with his teeth.
After more than ten breaths.
Elder Qian finally put down the gloves from Tian Bu Yi.
He said, "These gloves are extraordinary, woven from the silk threads spun by a rare Black Jade Golden Spider. The toughness of this spider silk is no less than Golden Essence, hence the name Black Spider Golden Essence."
"This spider silk is extremely tough, resistant to fruits, and impervious to swords. Therefore, this item is highly valuable."
"And it's a complete pair of gloves."
"In my estimation, the market price for this item is around 5,000 taels."
"Now, with a 70% discount, it's 3,500 taels."
"Do you think your young friend can accept this?"
Jiang Ning listened carefully and nodded slowly, "Agreed!"
At this moment, Han Hongmei, who was standing beside them, spoke up.
"Young Master Jiang, the total for these three items is 3,955 taels. I'll round it up to an even 4,000 taels. What do you think, Young Master Jiang?"
"Agreed!" Jiang Ning nodded, "I still trust Wan Hua Tower's business reputation."
Hearing Jiang Ning's praise, Han Hongmei smiled gently, "In that case, I'll send someone to get the silver ticket?"
Jiang Ning immediately stopped her, "No rush!"
"Does Young Master Jiang 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 any trouble."
"Alright, we'll do as you say, Young Master Jiang," Han Hongmei complied.
