Chapter 149: The Auction
Night falls again, and the temporary town of the ghost market is crowded. The original buildings were torn down in a matter of hours and built into a large platform in a very short time.
Needless to say, I also know what this platform is for, although it is also a temporary construction, and the structure is also very simple, but it still looks like a whole hundred square meters, and there is a table on the three-meter-high wooden platform, and three or four searchlights illuminate this small area as if it were daylight. The dozen or so rows of seats under the stage were much darker than they were.
At this time, the auction table was already full, and the men and women wearing masks from all over the world were looking forward to it, and they all looked like they were bound to win the four generations of eaux-de-vie tonight.
The rules of the auction are very simple, each person is assigned a wooden sign, through which the quotation is made, the transaction is directly transferred, and the money and goods are cleared. But one thing is that whether you get what you want or not, you have to wait until the auction is over to leave. In this way, the safety of bidders is guaranteed to the greatest extent. Because even if there is an ambush outside, it is impossible to identify the owner of the water of life among the many people who have left the scene. As the mysterious organizer behind the ghost market, many unknown forces have been dispatched to surround the entire auction at this time, and from the perspective of equipment, they are all the latest models of EU-made equipment.
Yang Buxing, who was sitting in the back row, secretly looked at these well-equipped guys with their faces covered at this time, and there was only helplessness and a wry smile on their faces. Seeing this tiger-backed bear-waisted and mighty, it is not for nothing that I remembered that I had been busy all day and didn't even find the hair of the signal jammer.
"What now? The drones in the treetops don't work, how do so many people determine who is the provider of the water of life. ”
Laporio lowered his head and muttered quietly.
"It's no wonder that the source of this thing has never been found, and it seems that the organizers behind the ghost market have played a role. Looking at the posture, maybe this organizer is in the same group as them. ”
Zhang Xiaofan replied casually.
"It can't be ruled out, at least never before that many armed men. Take one step at a time, if it doesn't work again, I'm going to tie up the host on stage. As for those two black and white impermanences, there is a chance to get him again, if it is really Shi Zhen, some accounts must be calculated. This may be an opportunity for us to return to China. ”
Speaking of Shi Zhen, Yang Buxing's eyes were faintly filled with anger, and as he turned his attention to the host on the stage, it also indicated that tonight's auction was the beginning.
"Everyone, welcome to the annual Ghost Market Auction. I guess I know the rules when I enter.
I'm going to say something ugly, please don't try to challenge the proper order, it's been passed down for more than a thousand years since the ghost market, so don't take chances. Since ancient times, there have been many people who have surpassed your wealth and power, so please be careful not to make mistakes.
As for what you want to do after the ghost market is over, it has nothing to do with us. ”
is different from the average host, this guy didn't make any noise when he got on the stage, but threatened everyone in the audience. You must know that the vast majority of people who can sit here tonight are the spokespersons of the world's top conglomerates, or representatives of the state, so the organizers of the ghost market with such an obviously intimidating tone are really not afraid of offending people?
"To cut a long story short, since tonight is the Water of Life session, then I won't talk much nonsense. I believe that I don't need to introduce much about this kind of thing that can change the course of human evolution.
Now on the auction are three generations of eaux-de-vie
A group of five sticks, with a reserve price of $3 million, and a price of no less than $50,000 each time. ”
As the wooden hammer of the host wearing the V-shaped vendetta mask was struck, the entire venue became unusually quiet.
Shi Zhen and Li Ningyue, who were sitting in the front row, obviously had no intention of raising their cards, and this kind of outdated product was not within the scope of this mission. Of course, with the exception of mercenary groups with lower financial resources, there is no interest in real consortium representatives or state commissioners.
"This gentleman is out to 3.1 million...... 3.15 million ...... Is there anything higher than 3.15 million...... 3,250,000 ......"
I have to say that although these three generations of eaux-de-vie are not as good as the fourth generation, they are still very attractive to the vast majority of people because of the practical video advertising on the Lbiya battlefield. In the end, this set of eaux-de-vie was successfully auctioned for $4.15 million. Immediately afterwards, someone sent the lot to the person and directly transferred the money online to complete the transaction.
"Good, it's a good start. Then the next lot is also three generations of eaux-de-vie, a group of 5, the price is also 3 million US dollars......"
The host looked at the people around him who were very well-behaved when he handed over just now, and he couldn't help but smile behind the mask. In fact, if it weren't for the fourth generation of eaux-de-vie that will appear later, the starting price of these three generations of eaux-de-vie would not have been so low. You must know that the original price of $1 million was still in short supply.
In the next hour or so, the auction auctioned a total of 5 groups of three generations of eaux-de-vie, such a number that even Yang Bu was surprised to behold. He has also seen the effect of this third generation, although there is no small chance of triggering the fusion of complete genes, but the power is still considerable. This has to remind him of the productivity of this kind of thing, is it true that the balance of the countries of the world will be upset because of this thing.
"Okay, now that the appetizers are served, it's time to get into the main part of the evening. ”
As soon as the host's voice fell, a waiter picked up an aluminum alloy box from behind, which is usually used to preserve human organs and ensure that it will not lose vitality during transportation.
"A set of ten, this is also the only one of the four generations of eaux-de-vie lot tonight. There is no need to introduce how effective it is, but I believe many people are here for it tonight. $1 billion, each bid shall not be less than $10 million, and there is no upper limit.
Also, if you feel that you are unable to compete to save time and make mistakes, please give the wooden sign to the staff. ”
Soon, there were waiters at the bottom who put away most of the wooden signs. There were only a handful of thirty or so people left, and most of them were sitting in the front row. Everyone present knows that tonight's real battle is about to officially begin.
"In order not to delay everyone's time, the rule this time is that each person only has one chance to bid, so please weigh the rules of no cap. However, if someone deliberately inflates the price so that they cannot afford to pay, it will be considered a violation of the rules and the consequences will be borne by themselves. ”
All of a sudden, the originally quiet and silent venue suddenly became noisy. I have to admit that this trick is really ruthless. While it may seem unfair to the person who made the bid first, it is the best outcome for the auctioneer.
As a result, everyone has to call out the highest price they can afford, and there is no way to surpass it by the latecomers, even if it is a normal auction, these people still can't get the water of life in the end because of lack of funds.
"It's a really cruel trick, how much money we have in our people's accounts. This forces everyone to show their hole cards and sell them at the highest price. Because no one knows how much money the other party has brought, and at this time all the signals are being used
Blocking, you can't even ask people to pay money. ”
Li Ningyue said with hatred. Although the country is well prepared this time, it is all the people's hard-earned money.
"There is no way, we are bound to obtain these four generations of water of life, because we need time to ensure that this generation of ancient warriors can grow up smoothly, so I plan to press them all. ”
Shi Zhen at the critical moment is also very decisive, and it is unknown whether he dares to behave so decisively because the money in the account is not his own.
I saw that he painted directly on the wooden sign, and the first one held up the sign.
"Ha! $3.1 billion, yes! It is indeed a strong force, and it directly exceeds the auction price by more than three times. ”
That's enough for those present to beat most people. At least some of the smaller consortia have retreated. Not because they are not strong, but because they are not prepared.
Seeing that no one present raised any more cards, Shi Zhen, whose hands were still trembling just now, couldn't help but put his heart down a little. Also, being able to afford this price is not only a strong national strength, but also a reflection of its own courage.
"Is there anyone else making an offer? I'll count three times, and if there's no more offer, it's a deal." ”
Just when the host thought that no one would play any more cards, suddenly two people raised their cards at the same time. One is $1.8 billion and the other is $1.4 billion.
"We have a total of 3.2 billion, anyway, there are 10 in a group. ”
That's the only thing the bidders in the audience said tonight. And the meaning of this sentence surprised even the host on stage.
Yes, the rules don't say that you can't cooperate, anyway, it's good that the auction can get the money then. This also opens another door for the many bidders below.
Soon, without waiting for the host to speak, there were 5 more people holding up signs, and each person's sign was no more than $700 million.
Five, seven, three, and five billion, since it can be purchased jointly by two people, then five people can also do it, so that 10 fourth-generation water of life is just no more, no less, and 2 per person.
The organizer didn't expect this dramatic scene, but he was so happy, he originally wanted to buy the highest price, but now it seems that the effect is much better than expected.
"3.5 billion, is there more? 3.5 billion at a time...... 3,500,000,000,000 ...... 3,500,000,000 triples...... Sold ......"
The wooden hammer fell, Shi Zhen and Li Ningyue's whole faces collapsed, they were the most powerful and equipped on the field, but they didn't expect to lose in such a way. You must know that you can also find a few collaborators, and you can get one or two back. Then it is to collect money and deliver it, not to mention how happy the 5 people are at this time, this is called the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches, and it is really the mind that determines success or failure.
Now that the auction has been held, everyone knows that it has come to an end. There are also people who already plan to stand up and wait for the host to announce the end of the show before leaving. And Yang Buxing was not hungry, and the three of them were also ready for everything, just waiting for everyone to leave the scene and quietly leaned up to control the host.
"Well, the four generations of eaux-de-vie have been successfully auctioned, and the auction has come to an end. ”
Hearing this, the representatives of many countries, including Huaxia, were all depressed. Suddenly, a waiter came up to the stage and whispered a few words in the host's ear, and the other party was obviously stunned. And such a change was also seen by everyone in the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be at ease. Now for the good news, the next thing that will start filming is the water of life...... Five generations ......"
When the voice landed, the audience was in a boil......
