Chapter 343
Chapter 343: Is it true that my heart is so pitiful?
The auction house that Crazy Girl mentioned is called Sihai Auction House. It is said to be a chain store, and it is available all over the country, specializing in serving practitioners.
Because the visitors are all cultivators, in order to protect the privacy of customers, they were built in a relatively remote suburb of Linzhou.
Auctions usually start at 9 o'clock in the evening, because at this time, the suburbs of the city are deserted and there is no one to see. The cultivators who come and go will not attract any attention to the strange outfits in order to cover up their eyes and ears.
Because Jiang Yu wanted to auction things, he came to the auction house an hour in advance.
In an open area, a three-story building is built alone, like an ordinary farmer.
There were more than a dozen luxury cars parked in the open space in front of the building, which gave people the feeling that the auction house had a very bleak business.
However, there is a vast building and a luxurious basement.
The basement is divided into three floors, the first and second floors of the basement are private rooms, and the third floor of the basement is an auction hall. The decoration is very gorgeous and extremely spacious, and can accommodate two thousand people at the same time.
Because it was not the first time that the crazy girl had come here, she had an acquaintance here and found an appraiser named Shangguan Xiong.
Jiang Yu took out an ambergris fruit in the reception room and authorized the auction. Shangguan Xiong was a middle-aged man in his forties. Because of the crazy girl, he was very enthusiastic and the procedures were handled very smoothly.
In addition, Shangguan Xiong also arranged a private room on the second floor for them for free.
This is the first time Jiang Yu thinks that the crazy girl is so reliable.
Relationship is easy to do!
However, when pricing ambergris fruit, Jiang Yu was a little disappointed.
After Shangguan Xiong was determined, the estimated price was 700,000. He said that the reserve price was 500,000. If someone who happened to need ambergris to bid for each other, the final transaction price might rise by 30%.
But it is better than nothing, and it counts as much as you can sell.
At about nine o'clock, Jiang Yu and Crazy Girl came to the second floor private room. The private room prepared tea and snacks. There was a large floor-to-ceiling window where you could see the auction hall downstairs through the window. At this time, more than 200 people had sat in the hall one after another.
There was a microphone on the coffee table. The crazy girl explained: "If you want to bid too, you can hold the microphone and hold the button to quote. After the quote, the floor-to-ceiling windows in our private room will flash red, and the auctioneer in the auction hall can see it."
Jiang Yu said lightly: "Even if the ambergris fruit can be successfully sold, it is not enough to pay off the debt. Where can I have the money to bid for other things?"
The crazy girl laughed and said, "We won't bid for other things, but we can raise the price of ambergris!"
This kind of method is common in auction houses, and many people deliberately raise prices in order to sell more.
However, doing this also has risks. If you succeed in bidding yourself in the end, you still have to give the commission you should give, that is a pure loss.
Therefore, you must have a suitable price in your mind and not raise the price too high.
At about nine o'clock, the auction officially began. The beautiful female auctioneer wearing a cheongsam said a few opening words, and the staff presented the first auction item.
This is an object the size of a glass bead, and it is milky white all over.
The auctioneer introduced: "This is a clear-hearted jade. Long-term wear can improve your understanding. The base price is 300,000 yuan, and the increase rate must not be less than 10,000 yuan each time."
After the words fell, no one bid for the auction for a long time.
In the private room, the crazy girl stuffed fruit into her mouth and said, "This thing is just fooling those rookies who have just become cultivators. In fact, it's useless. It's probably going to be a failure to shoot."
As expected, no one bids for the first item, and after the auction failed, the staff brought the second item.
The auctioneer introduced: "This is the spiritual medicine ambergris fruit. It can heal wounds and be used as medicine, and the alchemy forging equipment are all effective. The minimum price is 500,000."
Jiang Yu said in surprise: "My ambergris will be on the stage so soon."
The crazy girl said while eating: "Because it's not so good, the auction venue is usually good at the back, the items in front are just warm-ups, and the items that fail to be sold are basically the items in front."
Jiang Yu was a little disappointed because the crazy girl hit the nail on the head and no one bids, and the ambergris fruit was about to fail to sell.
Jiang Yu said: "Girl, do we want to bid?"
The crazy girl gave him a blank look and said, "We can raise prices. Do you understand what it means to raise prices? No one bids. Are you not giving money to the auction house?"
"well!"
Jiang Yu sighed and thought to himself that if Li Yan Black Lotus was there, he would definitely be snatched away.
Just when he thought he was going to fail to shoot, a faint voice rang in the hall: "Five hundred thousand."
Jiang Yu was immediately delighted and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, wanting to find the good brother who bids!
He no longer has any expectations of exceeding the estimated price of 30%. Thank you for being able to sell it for 510,000 yuan!
After a moment, no one increased the price. The auctioneer held the auction hammer and said, "Fifty-one thousand for the first time, 510 thousand for the third time, 510 thousand for the third time, 510 thousand..."
"Six hundred thousand!"
A familiar voice sounded, and Jiang Yu turned around suddenly and saw the crazy girl holding the microphone and smiling at him.
She is about to start raising the price.
She didn't object to her raising the price, but she was too ruthless!
It suddenly rose to 600,000. If there are so many popular bidders for ambergris fruit, it’s nothing, but you can see clearly that the whole hall is only interested in ambergris fruit!
What should you do if you increase the price like this and others don’t bid?
You said that we are here to make money, not to give money to the auction house!
As the hall fell into silence, Jiang Yu's heart was in his throat, and he could almost hear his heartbeat.
"Six hundred thousand first time, six hundred thousand second time, six hundred thousand..."
“Sixty thousand.”
Finally, the sound of Jiang Yu's physical and mental pleasure sounded again in the hall, and Jiang Yu showed a gratified smile.
But the smile quickly solidified because...
"Seven hundred thousand."
When the crazy girl shouted out 700,000, Jiang Yu almost kicked her out!
You are just enjoying the fun of raising prices!
Is there anyone who raises the price like this?
If it was Jiang Yu, if he came to raise the price, he would only add 10,000 yuan, and gradually give people a process of acceptance.
But the crazy girl...
She knows the truth better than Jiang Yu, but she just doesn't want to add 10,000 yuan because she thinks it's boring.
The hall was silent for three seconds, and the voice sounded again: "Seventy-one thousand."
Jiang Yu thought quickly. Shangguan Xiong's estimated price was 700,000 yuan, and ambergris was not as popular as expected. Thanks for being able to sell the estimated price.
"eight……"
"Bao, you sister, Ba!"
Jiang Yu couldn't help but swear, the spiritual energy in his body vibrated, and the microphone in the crazy girl's hand exploded on the spot.
Still want to raise the price?
Is it true that pure heart is so pitiful?
If Jiang Yu hadn't had a trace of rationality, the crazy girl would have been kicked out by him now!
