Chapter 15 Merchant Louis
An area with a strong commercial nature like the Alexandria District is equivalent to the CBD (Central Business District) on Earth. It is a well-deserved core area of ​​​​a city, but in the Fars Empire, the Val d'Oise District is the cultural and administrative area. center of.

The two got off the carriage, Anne handed over an invitation, and the old housekeeper guarding the door politely welcomed them in.

Charlotte had no doubt that he would not be able to get in without Anne.

This ancient residence covers an area of ​​about five acres. After entering, you can see all kinds of guests coming and going, which is very lively.

Charlotte asked slightly curiously: "How can I sell my magic items at the magic item auction?"

Before Anne could answer, a hearty voice said, "I wonder what magic items this gentleman wants to sell?"

Charlotte raised her head slightly and saw a well-dressed older gentleman smiling at her. He returned the smile politely and said, "It's a multi-headed flail." He opened the package in his hand and revealed The handle of the long flail.

The older gentleman said, "May I have a closer look?"

Charlotte handed over the package in her hand.

The older gentleman took the package steadily, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Let me introduce myself. I open a magic items shop called Louis's shop. My name is Louis Simi."

Charlotte smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Simi, I hope to have the opportunity to visit your store often."

Louis Simi handed over a card with his name, the name of the store, and the address written on it.

Charlotte took the business card with great interest. When he traveled through time, business cards had been eliminated and everyone only exchanged phone numbers and WeChat messages.

Louis Simi said: "I don't want to buy this long flail, but I can help you recommend a good buyer."

Charlotte was very happy and said, "Thank you, Mr. Simi."

Louis Simi smiled and said, "You can call me Louis. I haven't asked you your name yet?"

Charlotte replied: "Charlotte Mecklen, please call me Charlotte, that's what my friends call me."

He gave Anne a questioning look, and Anne calmly followed them.

Charlotte originally wanted to settle her own small business first, and then accompany Anne to deal with Yang Mills, but since Anne was willing to accompany her, he had no reason to refuse.

Louis complimented Anne's beauty without any trace, and Anne politely accepted it. Both of their attitudes revealed the hypocrisy and sophistication of the upper class.

Charlotte also knew this skill, but she didn't want to participate in this hypocritical social interaction, so she followed Louis Simi to a room silently.

Louis said loudly: "Mr. Lucas, I helped you collect a handful of the multi-headed flails you are looking for."

A strong man who was talking to a friend looked over.

This guy is wearing a military uniform, and his rank is quite high based on the shoulder ribbons. Charlotte is not very good at reading these badges, so she can only make a rough judgment based on their complexity.

When Lucas saw Louis Simi take out the multi-headed shackle, his eyes suddenly lit up. He strode over, gently grabbed it, shook it, and said: "The enchantment has completely collapsed, can you repair it? ?”

Louis Simi said with a smile: "Master Leo happens to be here, so there will be no problem in repairing the enchantment."

Lucas nodded and said, "I want something, how much does it cost?"

Louis said: "We are old friends. I only accept you one hundred and forty crowns."

Lucas nodded and said, "Repair the enchantment and send it to my house." Louis agreed with a smile. Lucas said nothing else and went back to chatting with his friends.

Louis took Charlotte to a deserted corner and whispered: "This multi-headed flail needs to be re-enchanted. The repair cost is about fifty euros. I am willing to pay seventy-five euros to buy this multi-headed flail." , what do you think?"

Charlotte smiled slightly and said, "No problem."

The price was already higher than he expected.

Louis took out his wallet, happily counted fifteen fifty-denomination Fore notes and handed them to Charlotte, saying: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

To be honest, Charlotte has never touched the largest denomination of banknotes, not to mention fifty flors, he has never even touched twenty flors, and the largest denomination banknote he has ever touched is ten flors.

Charlotte took the banknotes, verified the authenticity using the techniques learned in school, put the banknotes into her wallet, and said with a smile: "Louis, it's a shame I met you, otherwise I don't know what I would do?"

"This is my first time doing business."

Louis laughed and said, "Please take more care of my shop for this kind of business in the future."

The two chatted for a while, and Louis Simi said: "With Miss Anne accompanying me, it would be very unwise for me to stay nearby. I won't disturb you two anymore. I will make a special trip to explain the business to you next time." Above, there are also some little secrets about the auction.”

He handed the package in his hand to the servant who had been following him, and left with a smile.

Anne whispered: "Louis is a very powerful businessman, you must be careful when dealing with him."

Charlotte nodded. He really didn't think there would be many opportunities to do business with Mr. Louis Simi.

Where did he get the magic items?

The other party is running a high-end business.

Charlotte put the wallet into her pocket without leaving a trace, and pressed it. The thick banknotes in the wallet made him feel safe.

Even in his previous life, he had never received such a large sum of money.

Seventy-five ECU is roughly equivalent to 2 to 2.2 million RMB.

Even in the previous life, it was enough for him to buy a house, and even the down payment was enough.

Charlotte and Anne walked around the old house a few times and got a rough idea of ​​what an auction in this era would look like.

Before the auction officially begins, guests will be allowed to trade privately. Only those who are unable to complete the transaction or are not satisfied with the price will officially submit the magic items in their hands to the auction.

The Fars Empire does not yet have a formal auction organization, and its business is not very developed, so this kind of auction relies heavily on the prestige of the organizer.

After Charlotte and Anne walked around for a while, Anne whispered: "I saw him. Let's not communicate for the time being and pretend we don't know each other."

Charlotte smiled slightly, and under Anne's guidance, she also saw Mr. Yang Mills, who had quite a dispute with him.

Yang Mills is a tall and sinister man, about forty or fifty years old. His clothes are very good. The details of each piece of clothing are very exquisite, and the matching is very fashionable. He holds a cane in one hand, which is inlaid with gold wire and a stone. The gemstones looked extremely expensive, very different from military goods. A fist was clenched in one hand, reflecting a small part of the turbulent emotions.

Charlotte stared at Yang Mills as he strode past.
