Chapter 772
2014-08-16
(ps: old rules, one chapter for one content! Tanuki is such a refreshing cat! haha ^ -^.)Needless to say, the slender-eyed upstart is naturally Tang En, and the stout figure is David.
While they were talking, precious or rare items were constantly put on the stage, bidding calls came one after another, and auctions were proceeding in an orderly manner.
As I said before, this is just a small auction today. Most things are worth a lot, but they are not that expensive either. Such as jewelry, weapons and armor, and some seabed corals with good ornamental value, etc....
Originally, according to the established process in the past, this small auction passed so smoothly until the fourth auction item Boarding the booth...
This is a string of multicolored bracelets made of agate, coral beads, crystal diamonds, etc., which look jeweled and rich under the light. Auctioneer stood by and introduced it diligently: "This is a bracelet made by a certain mysterious craftsman Master, called the tears of Goddess of the sea, and the ingredients are..."
As the saying goes, no one sells The melons don't say their melons are sweet! This sentence is most applicable to Auctioneer. If a good thing comes out of their mouths, at least three points should be added. In fact, as long as you carefully analyze their words, you can hear some clues.
For example, if this bracelet is really from the Master, then the Auctioneer will definitely mention the Master's name when publicizing, because this can add a lot to the auction and can also sell for a good price. Now, it is because the maker is not well-known, and it is a bit bleak to be famous, so this is the name of mysterious craftsman Master, which attracts attention.
As for the tears of Goddess of the Sea, when I hear the name, I instantly feel tall and lofty, and the literature and art are full of sadness and pity. Those with rich associations can come up with a tragic story. A must-have weapon for carefree, sentimental noble women. In fact, it's just because there are some marine minerals such as agate and coral in it, which is related...
But no matter what kind of doorway there is, with the continuous introduction of Auctioneer, the The woman looked towards the series of bracelets that sold well, her eyes were full of brilliance, and she was full of interest. But at this moment, Auctioneer was interrupted by a rude laugh,
"Haha, I like this stuff, it looks like it's worth a lot of money. Not like those bluffing bottles and jars... ...I'll give you 2,500 gold!"
Wow...tone barely fell , the auction field was in an uproar, and most of the people sitting in front looked back, their eyes did not mean shock, but A mockery similar to watching a joke.
Although this bracelet is beautiful, it is just beautiful. The value is at most around 800 gold coins. Even if someone raises the price, it is like a thousand gold coins. But now someone is directly shouting 2,500 gold, this is not a stupid person, what is more money?
However, the stout nouveau riche who were onlookers had no self-consciousness of being despised. Instead, they looked around triumphantly, very small man intoxicated by success. Even the small-eyed upstart next to him waved his hand with a look of disdain, "What do you want for that fraction, it's too petty, just three thousand gold!"
The venue was quiet! Everyone's expressions were speechless. If it was said that they were despised and ridiculed before, then there is a little pity in their eyes now, how stupid it is...
Some women don't think too much. , but looked very dissatisfied. They knew in their hearts that this bracelet was not worth so much money, so even if they liked it, the men beside them would not bid to buy it.
The only one who was happy was that Auctioneer, who was stunned at first, then looked ecstatic, and quickly asked if anyone had increased the price.
"Ha!" With a loud laugh, the nouveau riche with narrow eyes stood up, grabbed a large amount of large denominations from his arms, and was about to go to the stage to receive the bracelet.
"Eh? Haha..." Seeing this situation, everyone in the venue was stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere in the venue was full of joy. On the contrary, the Auctioneer looked a little embarrassed, and quickly stepped down to explain.
The auction house is not a shop, and you don't need to pay in person for the things you buy here, but after the end of the auction, your own service staff will guide you to the backstage, where you can pay and withdraw items. Of course, if the buyer insists, it can also be traded immediately, but the location is not in the auction field. After all, the scene of ordering money and getting change in person is somewhat inferior.
After making a fuss, the nouveau riche with narrow eyes was not ashamed and conscious, waving his hands and muttering that the Advanced Auction was not as convenient as a small shop, and the words were contemptuous.
But at this time, the people around have no longer wanted to laugh at them, to be precise, they didn't even take a look. This fuck is a fool, and it feels like his IQ is lowered at a glance...
After the farce, the auction continues. Most of the auctions below are paintings, exquisite ceramics, and other abstract artworks that need to be appreciated. The two upstarts really have no interest in bidding again.
"Don't give a shit...cough cough, Boss, your Camouflage is amazing!" As he approached, David expressed his sincere admiration for Tang En's vivid image of a nouveau riche, and whispered. praised.
"It's nothing, you're not bad either." Tang En patted David on his shoulders, and his face was full of admiration, "Everyone said that life is like a drama, and it all depends on acting. But I can't hold back that your drama is like life, it's all based on Really! I'm very optimistic about you, continue to play in your true colors!"
paused, the voice suddenly mentioned, pointing to the auction item below and suddenly said, "Second, this thing sounds good, you There are so many women, do you want to buy them back?"
David heard the words startled, and after looking at the situation, he realized that the Medicine Pill was being auctioned. After listening to the vague introduction from Auctioneer, he realized that this could greatly enhance the Medicine for men's abilities.
To be honest, although this thing is a bit off the table, it is definitely in short supply. After all, there are too many nobles young at heart though advanced in age.
"Uh, big brother, stop joking." David's face turned black when he heard the words, he bent his arms straight, his muscles were like an old tree in a winding mountain, and he shouted in a loud voice, "Look! Laozi's shoulders If you can run a horse, no matter how many women there are, there is nothing difficult, so let’s leave this thing to those useless softballs!”
Fuck …The old nobles who were raising their placards and bidding for a moment were stunned when they heard the words. The old face was flushed red, and he almost didn't hold his breath.
This attack is too broad. Originally, everyone was tacitly aware of this matter. At most, a 'you know' smile would pass. It's commonplace, and it's elegant to say it. But after David pointed it out like this, no one would be willing to continue to bid at the risk of being regarded as a soft egg. Isn't this showing his face and letting others beat him...
It is in this strange atmosphere Next, Auctioneer watched with a wry smile as the medicine was bought at a very low price, and the last bidder was not happy at all, looking at David's eyes that were obviously going to go berserk and kill.
Auctioneer saw that the atmosphere was rigid, and couldn't care less to feel distressed, and hurriedly put the next auction item on the stage. This is a book with a dull color and broken corners. The material seems to be some devil beast leather. At a glance, there is a sense of historical vicissitudes.
"This is a book found by the adventurer in the ruins of an Ancient Ruins. Although the text in it is a bit obscure, but according to the assessment of a professional Appraisal Master, this book with at least a thousand years of history should be this book. The secret of the mysterious Battle Qi Mantra..."
This introduction successfully aroused some interest in the audience, the ancient things are very valuable, even more how this is probably the secret of this Mantra, then The value is even more difficult to estimate.
But it's just a little bit of interest, after all, if this is really a great recipe, the auction house simply won't put it up for auction, let alone at such a small auction. Obviously, the obscurity in the mouth of the Auctioneer is definitely not just 'some', as for the Mantra cheats or something, it is more likely to be just a gimmick.
The fact is almost the same. After receiving this ancient book, the auction house immediately invited relevant experts to decipher the translation. But even if those experts rummaged through all the ancient books, they could not find any grotesquely shaped text similar to this book, and finally had to define it as a casual graffiti made by children in ancient times.
Actually, it's normal that they can't crack it, because even the producers themselves don't know what this means...
But no one in the venue noticed, those two outbreaks After seeing this book, Hu's body unconsciously straightened up a bit. The narrow-eyed nouveau riche even glanced at a certain place in the auction house, slightly nodding.
"...The reserve price is five hundred gold coins, and the auction will start now!"
"I will offer five hundred." "Six hundred." "Six hundred and fifty gold..."
There are very few respondents, and the price is only rising slowly. This is also to be expected, no one is a fool, and it is impossible to fetch a high price for a book that does not know what to write at all. Those who bid are just because this book is a rare old bastard, and it is just a curiosity to buy a collection.
But at this moment, the loud voices of the two nouveau riches were heard again.
"big brother, do we want to buy this?"
"It's worthless at first glance, buy a fart... uh, wait, let me think... ..." The slender-eyed nouveau riche plucked out the corners of his mouth and beard, his expression darkened, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly slammed his palm, "Buy it! I must buy it! I don't think anyone would dare to say that we have no culture in the future!"
"Okay! Well, where did the price increase just now... Hey, forget it, three thousand, I will give out three thousand gold coins!"
Paralyzed! These two goods are here again... The corners of everyone's mouth twitched a few times when they heard the words, and they cursed silently, and they were too lazy to continue laughing.
As soon as the three thousand gold coins came out, the previous bidders naturally lost the idea of continuing to increase the price. It's not that I don't have the money, but that I want to fight for riches with these upstarts... I can't afford to lose this person at all!
The Auctioneer on the stage was delighted when he saw this, thinking that he had earned back the money for the medicine before, raised his wooden hammer, and asked the symbol of his surname: "This Your Excellency Three thousand gold coins, is there anything higher? If not..."
"Five thousand gold coins!"
The wooden hammer fell, "Then this ancient book belongs to... Huh?" The Auctioneer figure staggered, trying not to smash the wooden hammer on itself, and looked up in amazement.
Everyone in the field was surprised when they heard the words. Subconsciously, they looked back and saw in the corner, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman was calmly raising his placard and bidding.
"I **?" The stout upstart figure was instantly furious when he heard the words, looked at the other party provocatively and roared loudly, "Eight thousand, I am giving out eight thousand gold coins."
"Ten thousand!"
"You goddamn... fifty thousand!"
"One hundred thousand!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand! ”
“200,000!”
…
In just a short breath, the price skyrocketed. There was an uproar in the field, and exclamations came one after another. The Auctioneer on the stage was shaking with excitement, clenching his fists, Fuck waited, and finally let me wait, this is the rhythm of the auction...
When the price rises to 500,000, the figure is sturdy The nouveau riche paused, glared at each other fiercely, got up and poked his fingers in the air, roaring word by word: "One, one hundred, ten thousand! I'll give you one million! Damn, are you richer than me? Brat is still tender!"
Wow...
The atmosphere in the venue began to stir, and most of the people were not wealthy, but listening to the absolutely huge number, I couldn't help but feel dizzy . What is the concept of one million gold coins? A small town doesn't have so much tax in a year, but now it's just to buy an unfathomable mystery book?
Sure enough, people are stupid and have a lot of money... After stabilizing their minds, everyone couldn't help showing a smile of taking pleasure in other people's misfortune. Obviously, this vulgar nouveau riche is now in Battle Qi, how will he regret it later, IQ is worrying!
As for the chubby businessman, in the eyes of everyone, he should be really indifferent to these two upstarts, so he deliberately raised the price to deceive the other party, and the IQ instantly made a judgment!
But is this really the case?
Amid the uproar, the chubby businessman frowned, glanced at the ancient books on the table, then turned his head to take a deep look at the stout upstart figure, his expression remained still, and he said calmly: "Two million. !"
After the words fell, the auction room fell into a dead silence in an instant, only the sound of swallowed saliva was heard collectively.
Passed, passed...Some people unconsciously shook the head, thinking that this is not the way to raise the price. If you scare the other party away, don't you have to suffer the consequences?
However, most of the flexible minds are browsers tightly frowns, a large number such as two million, impossible is to raise the price. Looking at the chubby businessman's calm temperament, he doesn't look like someone who is easily angered... From this perspective, there is only one possibility, that this auction item is really worth two million!
Aware of this, the burning gaze instantly converged on the ancient book. What exactly is this book that records the contents, and it is worth so much money? Is it really this Mantra cheat? But how realm's Mantra cheats can you get to be worthy of two million...
The people who were surprised just kept guessing, but didn't realize that the corner of the narrow-eyed upstart's mouth was slightly raised .
hehe, successful...Tang En chuckled in his heart, leaning back on the wooden chair and looking relaxed.
This so-called ancient cheat book is actually a deceptive arrangement made by Tang En in order to release the Battle Qi circulation channel.
After being organized by Old Butler's system, Tang En now has several complete channels for improving Battle Qi without side effects. However, this news cannot be spread out, otherwise, no matter how powerful Tang En is, he will be eaten with no bones left.
In this way, it is only through such a contrast that money can be used to create a publicity effect. Like I said before - build momentum! A book sold for millions of gold coins. Does everyone want to know such exciting news? Then keep guessing what the content of this book is... When everyone's attention turns to this ancient cheat book, Tang En will be able to release the flawed Battle Qi circulation channel with peace of mind!
Of course, some rumors will be released afterwards, such as incomplete secrets, etc. First, the side effects will be cleared up... Here Tang En is secretly planning, David and the chubby businessman, That is Harry, the two have joined forces to raise the price to four million!
At this point, let alone the audience, even the Auctioneer was dumbfounded. A full four million, and it doesn't seem to be capped, just to grab this graffiti work by an ancient child? Is it because these two people are crazy, or are they crazy, or is this world collectively convulsed...
"hū chī...hū chī..." Pulling the neck seems to be a little tight. Necklace, David is obviously in the play, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and shouted hoarsely: "4.5 million! Fuck**, I will give out 4.5 million gold coins!"
Add it, keep adding it... ...Everyone looked at the chubby businessman, and said silently in their hearts, they were carrying some numb, and it seemed that the 4.5 million gold coins were not a lot.
Harry's acting skills are also very good, he vividly portrayed his inevitable and helpless and angry expression, slowly got up, looked at David blankly, and said bluntly: "Five million! "
Look, the price has indeed increased... Everyone collectively turned their attention back, looking towards the figure's stout upstart.
“I…” The nouveau riche immediately rampaged up when he heard the words, and was about to start scolding when he opened his mouth, but at this moment the narrow-eyed nouveau riche grabbed him tightly and wiped the sweat on his forehead, "Forget it, second child, we all have People of identity, don't lower oneself to somebody's level with this lunatic."
paused, looked towards the chubby businessman, acting strong but lacking confidence, "Hey, it's not that our brothers are afraid of you, We have a lot of gold coins, but we didn't carry all of them today...cough cough, in short, to give you brat face today, this book will be given to you!"
After finishing speaking, pull the figure The stout nouveau riche walked quickly towards the exit of the auction house.
This is... a soft drink?
Everyone in the room felt that they were discerning people. They naturally didn't believe what the other party said about 'don't carry gold coins', 'give you face' and so on. Looking at the two arrogant and despotic before The nouveau riche fled in despair. Although they didn't do it, they still felt as if they had drank cold water on a hot summer day. What a cool word, the thought that was suffocating before was instantly understood.
"haha..."
"Go back, you two arty hillbillies..."
"Isn't it more than money? Why not? , go on, haha..."
...
While walking in a hurry, Tang En glanced back, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
hehe, it's cool to slap in the face, right? Is it fun to watch? Can't wait to tell others about what happened here? haha, spread the word, spread the word for me as much as you like, although I won't pay you even a single penny of advertising fees for this...
