"Jia Li 2"
23

The auction place was still very quiet, as it would indeed start every Sunday night. The auction venue was quite large with 3 levels, where each level reflected their social status. After arriving at the auction Jia Li wanted to meet the manager of the place.

"excuse me sir, my young master would like to meet with the manager of this place. He wants to sell his goods" Kun told the guard.

The male guard stared at Kun from toe to hair. Kun's appearance that looked like a lowly person made him feel doubtful. But after seeing Jia Li's appearance that looked neat, clean, classy like a noble child, and fragrant made the guard a little certain. The guard looked at Jia Li who was currently dressed up like a man. He wanted to see how Jia Li looked, yet the straw hat Jia Li wore covered almost all of his face.  Suddenly Kun stood in front of Jia Li, blocking the gaze of the guard who wanted to peek at Jia Li's face. The guard started to take 1 step back and return to his normal attitude.

"oh.indeed what items you want to sell sir" said the guard.

"give this to your master. This is an example of an item that we want to sell" Jia Li said as he gave a wooden box containing a concoction pill. 

"if I may know, what's in this box ?" ask the guard.

"it's a concocted drug, my lord. You better give it to the owner of this auction quickly" Kun looked at the guard with his sharp eyes. He thinks the guard talks too much.

"alright young master, wait a minute" the guard took the medicine box and brought it to his master.

"pain a little Kun. If your attitude is like this, then you have no friends" said Jia Li

Kun just kept quiet. During his life he had no friends. He grew up in a poor family, all his family had to work and had no time for fun. So he never had any friends. 

Otherside. From a distance, there was a large door that was none other than his master's room. The guard approached him, before entering the guard knocked on the door first.

"TOKS"

"This sir is Bojiang, Mr. Bo" Bojing said.

"come in" Bojing went straight into the room. He looked at the man who was busy counting his money.

Bojing looked at Mr. Bo. The man was 35 years old at the moment, yet he looked youthful, handsome, and the man's body also looked very ideal. The man was wearing a white silk shirt that showed his elegance. 

"mister, there is a person who wants to sell his goods at our auction place. "heard that, Master Bo looked at Bojing.

"what he sells. If the goods are not good, it is better to refuse" Mr. Bo is very choosy if the matter of the goods sold at the auction place, only high-quality goods are acceptable.

"he said he sold his concoction pills, sir. Because I don't really know about the quality of the pill, so I took it to the master so that it could be considered worthy or not" said Bojing. 

Mr. Bo who heard this stood up and walked over to Bojing. Mr. Bo was also a bit interested when he heard the word 'PIL" because it had been a long time since no one had offered him a medicinal pill. That was because very few people could make medicinal pills. Even if they do, they must be very old.

"then where is the pill, I want to see" hearing that, Bojing gave the small wooden box to Mr. Bo.

"this is an example of your stuff, sir. It seems like that person wants to sell a lot of pills to our auction place" Bojing said.

Master Bo took the city and opened it. Inside the box was a small, faded green pill that smelled of fragrant spices. Master Bo who had good eyes, could see the high quality of the pill.

"i.e...the medicinal qualities are absolutely perfect" said Mr. Bo with a very surprised face.

"...."- ".Bojing who heard that was also surprised.

"da...where did you get it ?" asked Master Bo Demangan full of curiosity.

"a young man Mr. Bo. He was waiting at the entrance of the auction building" 

"wring him here as soon as possible. I want to meet him" hearing the order, Bojing directly called the mysterious young man.

***

Currently Jia Li and Kun were already in Master Bo's room. When Master Bo saw Jia Li, he was shocked. He did not expect that the person selling the medicinal pill was so young. In the eyes of Master Bo, Jia Li was like a noble child who was only 11-12 years old. It made Master Bo doubt Jia Li, if the pill was the concoction medicine. 

"meet me, Mr. Bo. The owner of this auction place, and..what is the name of the young master ?" ask Mr. Bo. He looked at Jia Li who looked very mysterious.

"call me Li" said Jia Li.

"hem.it's called a vitamin. And the vitamin you hold is the type of vitamin A that is useful for maintaining eye health, maintaining the immune system, supporting fetal growth, preventing acne from appearing, and maintaining bone health" explained Jia Li.

Jia Li's words made Master Bo stunned. He did not expect that the pill he was holding had many benefits. If he sold this at his auction place then it could profit a lot.

"alright Mr. Li, I will auction off this medicinal pill. Hmm...how is the transaction that Mr. Li wants and what is the starting price that Mr. Li wants to start at the auction  ?"

"kai will benefit 30% of sales. And for the price to start at 100 gold coins for one pill" Jia Li's remark made Master Bo surprised. How not, Master Bo thought Jia Li would put a starting price of 1000 gold coins for one pill.

"is it too cheap, sir. This pill could be worth 1000 gold coins in my place" said Mr. Bo. Mr. Bo said that because he did not want the boy to lose, he still had a conscience.

Jia Li thought for a moment. He did not know the price of pills in this world turned out to be very expensive, even though the ingredients used to make vitamin A are very cheap and can be found. But if he can make more profit, and with very little capital is not it good. He could be the richest man before the age of 15.

"alright, 1000 gold coins as the starting price" Jia Li said with a small smile. Master Bo could see Jia Li's smile. 

"Kun, bring all the boxes of medicine" Kun brought a bag containing all the boxes of medicine. 

Master Bo who saw that was confused. In his heart he wondered 'how much did the boy want to sell".

"Master Bo, I will sell 5 different types of vitamins, namely vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, and vitamin B5. Each of the vitamins has 10 pills, so a total of 50. And.this is the most important each vitamin has different benefits, rules of drinking, and rules of storage. Rules must be adhered to so that the efficacy of the pill is not lost. Later I will give you the note ", explained Jia Li.

Kun put some wooden boxes on the table. Master Bo was stunned when he saw the abundance of high-quality medicine before him. 

"i don't know if this vitamin pill has a lot of rules" said Mr. Bo as he scratched his non-itchy head.

"yes Mr. Bo. In my opinion, good medicine must be treated special, right ?" 

"hahaha yes.ya I agree" Master Bo laughed lightly.

"ahhhhh... If I may know, who made this pill Mr. Li" asked Mr. Bo carefully.

"me, who do you think I am ?" said Jia Li who sounded a little arrogant in Master Bo's ears.

Mr. Bo was speechless. He still could not believe that it was the boy who made the medicinal pill.

"Mr Bo, if you don't believe my words it's up to you. I'm not gonna force Mr. Bo to believe." Master Bo was stunned when he heard Jia Li's words, because Jia Li could tell if Master Bo did not believe his words.

"Hmmm... Means Sunday night I'm gonna be here to get my money, right ?" Jia Li immediately switched the conversation. He doesn't want to talk about anything outside of business. That's very troublesome later.

"yes, Sunday night will be an auction, and after the auction you can take your money" said Mr. Bo. He felt a little uneasy with Jia Li. He was afraid to offend her.

" Ham...if there's no more business, can I go ?" jia Li's remark made Master Bo think that Jia Li was offended by her behavior just now. The thing that made Master Bo afraid of offending Jia Li was, afraid that Jia Li would not enter the medicine again to the auction place. Though Jia Li's medicine is very good and will be very high if sold at the auction. Mr. Bo is sure to make a big profit later.

"t...Mr. Li, why hurry. Are you offended by my disbelieving attitude if it's the drug maker ?" ask mr. bi directly. 

"no, I have to go home because there are other matters that must be taken care of Mr. Bo. I am a busy person" Jia Li said.

"ah..thank God" said Mr. Bo.

"alright Mr. Li, if next time you want to auction the medicine come to my auction place. This place will be open to you" said Mr. Bo with a big smile.

"yes, I will sell many drugs in the future here. Thank you for your cooperation" said Jia Li.

Since that day, Jia Li and Mr. Bo became familiar and often did business cooperation. Jia Li also made a tremendous profit from the sale of his first concoction medicine, he became a sudden rich man. Having a lot of money does not make Jia Li stop to develop his business, Jia Li plans to open a restaurant, inn, make a fabric factory, and jewelry store. Whatever Jia Li would do to make even more money and build up his own strength. Because only then can one be seen in this world.
