One Piece: Accidentally Becoming the King of the World

...

There was a commotion in the venue

"Hey, what's going on? This mermaid has been auctioned off? Why can't I remember?"

"I seem to remember that in the end, the wealthy man in box No. 1 bid 1 billion beli, and the deal should be completed later. Who dares to add more after it is already 1 billion?"

"Shh! Didn't you hear the people at their auction house talking quietly? The person in box number one seems to be from the world's nobles. Don't ask, just go and get the things you took and go back."

"So that's it, I said, why don't I remember that I haven't knocked the gavel yet? It turns out that the Tianlong people bid for it, so no wonder, let's go quickly, it's better to do less than to do more."

Due to the missing memory fragments about the two Celestial Dragons who had appeared in the auction house, everyone in the audience discussed each other for a while before accepting that the mermaid was sold to the VIP in Box 1 for a sky-high price of 1 billion beli. After being photographed, he began to leave the table and disperse....

There are two forms of auctioning goods. One is consignment by the seller, and 10% of the transaction price is charged as a handling fee after the transaction is completed. The other is that the auction house trades with the seller in advance, and then auctions it after the purchase. Most of the time, The latter, because the profit is relatively much higher.

Ordinary people are not qualified to negotiate terms. Usually things are bought at auctions in advance at lower prices, and many suppliers are pirates, slave traders, and gangsters. They will not rest assured if they don't get the money on the spot.

Don't ask how you know, Geer just heard it

"Sir, excluding the last mermaid, the total transaction volume of this auction is 3.4 billion beli, and the total profit is 823 million beli, which is much less than expected. The reason is..."

In a luxurious office, Mustache, who was successfully promoted to the top of the auction house, stood aside with a ledger and reported everything in detail.

While listening, Geer played with various unseen objects in the office, including manuscripts that looked very precious at first glance, parchments that looked like treasure maps, and some exquisite items made of ivory and tortoiseshell. Crafts.

When Geer saw something he liked, he just put it in his pocket, just as casually as if he were at home. He was not embarrassed at all. Mustache couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eye. This adult is really strange. He is so rich. He is powerful and likes to take advantage of this. He continued:

"Sir, in addition to the mermaids, there are also several slaves of pirate captains that have been clearly sold but have no buyers to deliver them. We can't remember who bought them at all. Even the records are blank, which is very strange."

When talking about this supernatural phenomenon that he had never encountered before, Mustache glanced nervously at the expression on Geer's face, fearing that Geer would think he was deceiving him.

Of course Geer knew why this was the case. The pirate slaves were originally photographed by the Celestial Dragons. Now the Celestial Dragon father and son have become toys and are lying peacefully in their own system space. No one will definitely deliver and take away those slaves. Got it

"Ahem, don’t worry too much, I’ll just sell it next time."

Ger put it in his mouth and bit it. After identifying it as a gold-plated handicraft, he put a golden Pegasus ornament back in disgust and replied with a smile.

"Yes, thank you, sir! Please rest assured that they will definitely sell it at a good price at the next auction!"

Mustache's heart felt warm, and he felt that he was following a good master. When such a big mistake happened, not only did he not doubt or scold him, but he also took the initiative to comfort himself.

I was so touched!

"Sir, Auction House No. 1 holds a small auction every week and a medium-sized auction every month. Large-scale auctions like today depend on the condition of the goods. Generally, there are two to three auctions per year. Not counting large-scale auctions, the monthly profit is stable at around 1 billion beli, and the actual amount obtained at the auction is probably less than 20%. Previously, Silin had to pay about 800 million per month to several Tianlong people who supported him.."

Mustache continued to introduce some basic aspects of the auction house.

Geer nodded and secretly lamented that this transaction is really huge profit. This is just an auction house, and the monthly profit is as much as a country's gold in a year.!

There must be many similar organizations engaged in slave trading in other parts of the world and in the underground black market. Everyone wants to rush in and get a share of such a hugely profitable industry. You must know that there is more than one auction house in the Shampoo Islands alone. However, the No. 1 auction house in Shampoo has the toughest backend at present, so it has become a dominant one.

Now, Geer is just relying on the fake identity of Tianlong to fool this mustache, but he has no intention of actually taking over the auction house and becoming himself. The industry.

Geer doesn't take himself too seriously. If he wants to ban the slave trade with just one mouth, at least he doesn't have the ability to do it now.

As for directly destroying the auction house, it is not only meaningless but also counterproductive. Without the No. 1 auction. On the market, all kinds of messy small auction houses will begin to expand rapidly and disorderly, and there will be more innocent victims. If there is no buying and selling, there will be no harm. The fruits of this matter will be ruined.

"Da da da!"

While Geer was thinking about what he could do, a group of guards wearing auction house uniforms came in carrying more than a dozen boxes. Mustache stepped forward and opened a box, only to see that it was filled with stacks of Bailey, by visual inspection each one contains exactly 100 million Baileys.

"Sir, this is the total profit from this month and today's auction, a total of 1.823 billion. Excluding the 800 million that is given to those Tianlong families every month, the remaining 1.023 billion Bailey is to honor you, sir.!"

Mustache bent down and saluted respectfully. He knew that he had to hug Geer's thigh tightly, otherwise there would be no one knows how many people were secretly jealous of such a huge property. Why should he hold on to it, so he also risked his life and only left In order to maintain the normal operation of the auction house, Geer planned to give away the rest. He picked up Rab and put it on his shoulders, walked forward and took out a suitcase and said with a smile:

"This was taken and shared equally among all the staff at the auction house, and it was regarded as an employee benefit."

"Okay, thank you for your understanding!"

The mustache nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

When the guards at the auction house thought that they had a share, they all thanked Geer happily.

Geer smiled, waved his hands, and ordered to Barrett and Weibull:

"Come and take all the rest!"

"Ah, sir, if the other Tianlong people don’t continue to maintain good relations, maybe..."

Before Mustache could finish speaking, Geer interrupted:

"There is no need to panic. From now on, you no longer need to honor those Celestial Dragons. My name is Fegaland, the red-haired saint. From now on, this auction house will be guarded by our Fegaland family. You only need to honor me. That's enough. I travel a lot and don't live in the Holy Land. If anyone dares to cause trouble, you can go directly to Marigio and ask to see our patriarch, Saint Fegaland Garin. Just tell me my name and he will come forward to help you solve all problems.!"

"Okay, okay! Thank you, sir. I will remember it! If an adult says this, the little one will feel relieved!"

Mustache said excitedly.

Listening to the other party's arrogant tone, I guess this Fegaland family should be a relatively powerful family among the Tianlong people. From now on, I will also be a person with a background and background!

Why worry about the overall situation being uncertain?!...
