176 The dust settles
30,000 topaz lemons, starting price 150,000. "When the auctioneer quotes the price, it also means that the competition for topaz has begun.
At the beginning, there were also many small fruit merchants bidding, and they gathered together in twos and threes, hoping to eat this batch of topaz from Kunyang in a group.
But when the auction price rose to 300,000, many small merchants took the lead in withdrawing from the competition. In addition to a few people from the Tongcheng Fruit Chamber of Commerce, there are two larger fruit companies that continue to follow the price.
"550,000, has anyone increased the price. ”
"600,000, Mr. 3 bid 600,000. ”
After knowing that the price of 600,000 yuan was made by the Tongcheng Fruit Chamber of Commerce, the other two fruit owners gave up the bidding, after all, several companies of the Tongcheng Fruit Chamber of Commerce have the largest warehousing, logistics and channels in Tongcheng, 600,000 and 30,000, the unit price of this lemon has been as high as 20 yuan, and the two bidding companies are not sure that they can sell this batch of lemons at a higher price.
After watching the rivals withdraw one by one, Li Wei and Jia Fei looked at each other and smiled, obviously they thought they were sure to win.
Who knew that at this time, someone suddenly joined the auction.
"700,000, Mr. 2 bids 700,000"
When the auctioneer quoted the price, Li Wei and Jia Fei immediately found the No. 2 who raised the card, but the other party was very faceless and obviously not a person in the Tongcheng fruit industry circle.
"750,000"
"Mr. 3 gave a price of 750,000, is there a higher price. ”
"00 thousand. ”
After that, the price given by No. 2 has been steadily pressing the Chamber of Commerce, and Li Wei gritted his teeth and gave a price of 1 million.
But then No. 2 once again made Li Wei completely dead at a price of 1.05 million.
"What is the origin of this No. 2, the price given is so high, 33 yuan a lemon, this is only the cost price, what profit can there be?"
In Li Wei's opinion, it is simply incredible, after all, with such a high price, the profit margin in the later stage is too small.
The bosses of Tongcheng Fruit Industry did not know that Kunyang had completely reduced overseas orders for this auction, which also caused the price of topaz to rise sharply overseas.
If topaz has not been used before, then the role of lemon in seafood may not be so prominent, but once the topaz in the market decreases, many merchants who have not snapped up topaz use it back to ordinary lemons, the problem begins to become prominent.
Locals, who are accustomed to squeezing lemon juice on top of seafood, suddenly find that the quality of seafood in various izakaya has plummeted.
As a result, many high-end izakaya can only grit their teeth and buy high-priced topaz in order to ensure the quality of their stores.
The topaz with seafood in the store has also begun to become thin, and the original seafood with a quarter of topaz has gradually become one-sixth, and even finally becomes a thin slice.
But the locals still buy it, after all, this is topaz, and ordinary lemons are available, and you may not be able to look at it if you give you a whole.
The current Toru Okada was full of excitement in his eyes, after all, this batch of topaz should be his own.
"Yamazaki-kun, you did a good job this time, after you go back" Okada Teruiichi's promise to Yamazaki-kun was not finished, and someone in the corner bid again.
"1.2 million"
Not only was Teruichi Okada surprised, but the various bosses of Tongcheng Fruit Industry were also stunned. A lemon of 40 yuan will not be believed if it is said before.
"1.3 million" Teruichi Okada was bound to get topaz, so he didn't think too much about it at all and continued to increase the price.
"1,350,000"
"Mr. No. 1 bids 1.35 million again, is there anybody"
"1.4 million"
The price on both sides is very tight, and the time of quotation is also very short, obviously both sides attach great importance to topaz.
Even a few bosses of the Tongcheng Fruit Chamber of Commerce have been reduced to spectators, and the other peers suddenly feel that their mentality is balanced.
So they looked like they were watching a game of badminton, their heads constantly rotating between number 1 and number 2, and then looking at the other side again after the offer came out.
As the auction continues, the price of topaz has soared to 60 yuan a piece, that is, the total price of this batch of topaz has reached a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan.
This price may not be surprising if it is placed in the antiques industry, or in the art industry, but this is an auction of fruit, and it is simply unbelievable that such a high price is for a batch of lemons.
"150,000" As Howard quoted the price of 150,000, Tetsuichi Okada hesitated, after all, if this batch of lemons is brought back, according to the price of 60 yuan a piece, counting the loss of transportation costs, etc., it has far exceeded the market price, and he has almost no profit.
Before, he would quote a price of 100,000 yuan, and he only wanted to ensure the supply of topaz for the first time, and then with the drive of topaz, many seafood transactions under his hands could also open the market with the help of topaz.
But the 50,000 yuan became the last straw that overwhelmed Teruichi Okada, so he gave up.
After seeing that Tetsuichi Okada no longer bid, Howard suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, this batch of topazes was finally his.
Howard's identity is very simple, he is the agent of Wutong Oysters in the United States, and he brought a batch of oysters from his own agent when attending a friend's banquet before, because he didn't bring lemons, so he asked Renault, who was making desserts in the back kitchen, to borrow a few lemons.
Who would have thought that the already high-quality oysters would have a fatter and sweeter taste under the addition of lemon, which surprised Howard.
So he approached Renault and asked about the origin of the lemons.
If there is any businessman present who can bear the high price of this lemon, then it must be him Howard. And the reason why he bought topaz lemons is very simple, just like Okada Teruichi, in order to better sell the oysters in his hands.
As the auctioneer dropped the hammer, the dust settled.
"I didn't expect that Qian Lina's little girl was so ruthless, and she actually called us here just to let us watch such a good show. ”
"How can I let you know if you don't call you here, how about how much money you have made less, it hurts"
"It seems that you have a discerning eye, how much your topaz sells for"
"Forget it, don't mention it, it's so boring to expose each other's scars. ”
While the bosses of the fruit industry are sighing, there are still many people eyeing the two old ladies of the flower of Jinlan, after all, they still have 2,000 lemons bought at a low price in their hands, even if they are sold at a price of 50 yuan, there is still a lot of room for operation.
"Why, our old lady looks so deceitful, isn't it" Huang Fang gave a few businessmen a roll of their eyes.
"Forget it, I don't care about you, we have to go back and make lemon cookies for the children, so we won't delay your boss to make money." ”
In fact, the biggest winners present may be the two old ladies, after all, they bought a batch of lemons at a low price, and watched a good show, and finally the two old ladies wanted to say that the money girl and Xiao Zhou were really wilted.
