Chapter 092: The Auction Is Stormy
Originally, Zhong Lin was not interested in auctioning the peach forest, but after the thunderbolt splitting the peach wood, especially after seeing the inevitable appearance of the island people, Zhong Lin, like Lu Shouyi and Cao Dazhuang, also paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan and received a number plate.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the countdown to the auction began. The auction was undertaken by Procabe Auction House. Although the starting prices of several auction items today are not very high, the auction house is still fully prepared, which can be seen from the people present. First, there were a large number of people attending the auction, and there were two or three hundred people at the scene! The other thing that Zhong Lin didn't expect was that there were many Taoist priests like gray-robed Taoists among the people who participated in the auction.
The auction organizer first brought all the people who were interested in participating in the auction to the scene to get a closer look at each auction object. Zhong Lin also took this opportunity to "observe" carefully......
Back at the auction venue, everyone sat down. The beautiful waitress handed the auction hammer to the host. Today's host is a man in his thirties, in a suit and leather shoes, who speaks standard Mandarin, and after the opening remarks, the auction officially begins.
According to the auction process, first of all, the host briefly introduced all the auction objects today: counting the thunder split peach wood of Chen Wanyuan who just joined, today's auction objects are a total of 6 pieces, and the other five objects are five peach groves. Chen Wanyuan's peach grove is the best in terms of area, location, and tree age, so it is ranked first, and the thunder split peach tree is ranked last because it is added later.
The host announced that the reserve price of the auction was 300,000 yuan, and if there was no specified offer, the price increase would be 2,000 yuan for each card, and then the bidder's offer would be accepted......
"Bidder No. 6 bids 300,000 yuan!" the host announced loudly.
Bidder No. 6 is none other than Lu Shouyi.
Bidder No. 10 bid $302,000. ”
Zhong Lin has been watching the situation at the scene, and the No. 10 bidder is also an "old acquaintance", and it is the gray-robed Taoist who was about to thunder the peach wood just now.
"$32,000 a one-time ......"
"Anything else has you bid?" said the presenter, waving his hammer twice in the air.
Lu Shouyi didn't mean to bid, his idea was that as long as the peach forest was not taken away by the islanders, he would still have the opportunity to continue to make peach blossoms.
"32,000 dollars...... Two ......"
When the host loudly reminded the quotation for the second time, the gray-robed Taoist had a puzzled expression on his face, obviously he didn't think that this price would be able to photograph this peach forest! So he involuntarily looked at the island people sitting in the two rows in front of him......
The host's expression also became serious, the reason why the auction house arranged the best peach forest in the first auction is to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the bidders on the spot, and it is best to form an atmosphere of rushing to auction, knowing that the higher the final transaction price, the higher the commission that the auction house can get. If the best peach grove is sold at a price close to the reserve price, then the next few peach groves are likely to be auctioned off! As a result, it is estimated that the auction house will not be able to recover its early publicity investment......
"There are no bidders, most of the peach trees in this peach grove are more than fifty years old!"
The moderator was trying to stall as much as he could......
"Okay, Bidder No. 19 bid 310,000, that's right, it's 310,000!"
The cells in the host's whole body were activated instantly, because in his experience, this kind of bidding behavior is the easiest to activate the atmosphere of the scene.
Sure enough, everyone's eyes on the scene were focused on the No. 19 bidder. It was a tightly wrapped man with a scarf around his face, showing only his eyebrows and two eyes. But by the eyebrows, you can tell that it should be a girl.
"There are still no bids, 310,000 ......" This time, the host was interrupted just about to make the first bid prompt.
"No. 6 three hundred and twenty thousand, well, wait, here No. 1 bid seems to be ...... Three hundred and fifty thousand! Okay, let me confirm, well, that's right, three hundred and fifty thousand for Bid No. 1!" the host began to get excited, and his voice began to change, and there was a feeling of possession by the NBA's home commentator.
Zhong Lin found that Lu Shouyi's face had become a little ugly at this moment, obviously this price had exceeded his budget.
Cao Dazhuang, who was next to him, patted Lu Shouyi's hand and did not speak, but directly raised the sign in his hand and gestured a number with his hand.
"7-number-360,000!" the host shouted loudly.
"Hmm, the 19th offers 400,000!"
……
"No. 7 four hundred and fifty thousand!"
Followed by a few ** price jumps, Zhong Lin finally understood that this Cao Dazhuang next to him must be a rich second generation.
……
"600,000 on the 19th! That's right, 600,000!"
When the host announced the offer, the atmosphere of the scene was completely mobilized, and the offer had exceeded the reserve price by more than double. Everyone's eyes were once again focused on the "masked" girl.
"The No. 19 bidder has already bid 600,000 yuan, and if there is no price increase, 600,000 yuan will be ...... at one time" The host began to prompt the offer.
The islanders, who had been silent for several rounds, slowly raised the sign, and when the host confirmed the offer, the audience boiled......
Although the peach grove in Chen 10,000 yuan has a good geographical location and is very old, after all, there are only about 20 peach trees, and the average price of one peach tree is close to 50,000 yuan. After the offer of one million yuan comes out, according to the agreement on the previous auction rules, the price increase will be increased to 10,000 yuan after the card is raised again!
"One million yuan at a time!" I have to say that the host is very experienced, he no longer delays time, but says very quickly when prompting the quotation, giving people a feeling that the quotation is about to be closed if they don't hurry up.
Sure enough, the million-dollar offer is not the end.
"Bidder No. 7 bid 100,000 yuan!"
……
"Bidder No. 19 bids 1.5 million yuan!"
……
"Bidder No. 1 bids two million dollars!"
After a few rounds of raising cards, the quotation soon came to two million yuan, and the gray-robed Taoist people stopped raising cards after the price reached one million yuan, and the competition was mainly concentrated in Cao Dazhuang, the island people and the "masked" girl.
The boiling scene has been replaced by silence at this moment, and everyone's eyes are looking at the three people who are taking turns to quote, and their ears are pricked up, for fear of missing the number of each round of offers.
When the price was reported at three million yuan, Cao Dazhuang shook his head helplessly, patted Lu Shouyi's hand with his hand, and everything was silent......
Lu Shouyi was completely desperate at the moment, he had already realized that whether it was an island native or a "masked" girl who could come up with the current price, then they would definitely no longer be looking at peach trees or peach blossoms. This also means that his peach blossom brew will never taste like it used to be.
Cao Dazhuang suddenly turned his head and glanced at Chen Wanyuan meaningfully. He even suspected that the masked girl was deliberately found by Chen Wanyuan.
However, Chen Wanyuan shook his head gently, the situation in front of him was completely beyond his expectations! He had been guarding this peach forest for most of his life, and he never thought that one day they would be so valuable......
The auction continues, and the auction price continues to climb as the islanders and masked girls take turns holding up their signs......
"Bidder No. 1 bids 5 million yuan!"
……
"Bidder No. 19 bids 7 million yuan!"
……
"Bidder No. 1 bids 10 million yuan!"
When the host's voice was a little trembling and quoted the price of 10 million yuan, there was a commotion at the scene......
"Damn, that island man was kicked in the head by a donkey, right?!"
"There are no donkeys here, I think they were caught in the crack of the door when I went out in the morning......"
"No, his brain is either caught in the crack of the door, or it is in the water, and I saw just now that he is going to spend 100,000 yuan to buy a piece of wood from the black wave Ryukyu that was struck by lightning......
"In my opinion, what you said is not right, the brain is a good thing, but alas, he doesn't!"
The people at the scene said everything, and after the host said "quiet" several times, the venue slowly returned to normal.
When the quotation reached 10 million, the price increase for each card was also increased to 100,000 yuan.
"Bidder No. 1 bids 10 million yuan, and there is no price increase! 10 million yuan ...... at a time"
……
"Ten million yuan twice ......"
The masked girl had already put the number plate on the table, leaned back on the chair, frowned, and closed her eyes with a solemn expression, it was obvious that she was not reconciled, but it seemed that the current price was far beyond her budget, so although she was unwilling, she was no longer ready to quote......
The islander glanced back at the masked girl, and then smiled a little smugly.
Everything on the scene did not escape Zhong Lin's eyes, he thought of the blue fire talisman used by the island country named Yamazaki when he was in Gu Yuelin, and now the island country in front of him first wanted to buy thunder splitting peach wood, and now he grabbed the peach forest, there may be only one purpose, that is, to refine the rune paper, if this is the case......
Zhong Lin was a little anxious when he thought of this, and his eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously. Money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible, if he had money at this moment, he would definitely not watch the Japanese take this peach forest away!
"Ten Million Dollars ......"
At this moment, the host also thought that no one would make any more offers, so he directly raised the auction hammer, as long as he said the word "third time", the auction hammer would fall, which meant that the first auction item was sold. Such a sale price was enough for him to be excited for several days, because at first he thought that this auction would be a small case, and the final total transaction price would not exceed one million yuan. But what a thought about it, this first hammer will be hammered out of 10 million. really responded to the sentence "We will never understand the world of local tyrants"!
However, at this time, another person at the scene slowly raised the sign......
