Moreover, this auctioneer is very good at capturing the emotions of the bidders in the audience, and can always grasp some words and concerns that can attract bidders, so that these bidders will eventually compete to bid, and even some lots that are not very popular in the market can be auctioned at a good price in this black market auction, and there is not a single item that is not auctioned.
This kind of performance made Huo Sining, Zhou Shitao and others in the audience secretly speechless.
The importance of a good auctioneer for the auction house is self-evident, because a good auctioneer can increase the success rate of the auction by half or even higher, but an auctioneer who is not familiar with the business is likely to make a fine object unsold, which is the difference between auctioneers.
Therefore, many auction houses do not hesitate to hire gold medal auctioneers, in the auctioneer's business, the competition is also very fierce, the two-level fault is very powerful, the more famous the auctioneer, the more profitable, the more many people are vying to get it, but the more unknown auctioneers, the more they can't get the job, they can only suffer hard, looking forward to one day to jump into the dragon gate.
"Looks like this auctioneer spent a lot of money on that Duke Clayflot. ”
Zhou Shitao couldn't help but sigh.
Su Qingqing next to him was more curious: "Such a powerful auctioneer, is it the top in this industry, what is the approximate price?
When Huang Zhenlong heard Su Qingqing's words, he couldn't help but be happy: "Su girl, what about you, with an annual salary of one million? I tell you for sure, in an auction, the money he earns is at least worth this amount!"
Huang Zhenlong gestured a number at Su Qingqing, Su Qingqing was stunned for a moment, his mouth became round, and even Huo Sining, who didn't know much about the market and didn't care much about this inconspicuous auctioneer, couldn't help but stare in his eyes, and secretly said that this industry is really profitable, and this is a business, purely relying on his mouth to eat.
The auction was suspended for an hour as it progressed to noon. The organizer has set up a restaurant on the fifth floor of the building, and guests who participate in the auction can go to the restaurant to eat for free.
Huo Sining and his entourage were respectfully invited to the sixth floor, where there was a special dining room with exquisite dining tables and tableware, which should be a place to entertain VIPs.
After Huo Sining and his party entered, Clayflow and Semia were already waiting, and when they saw Huo Sining and the others, Clayflow actively introduced a group of people into the house, and said with a smile:
"The hospitality is not good, Miss Huo, if you don't mind, you and our brothers and sisters will have a meal here today, and when the auction is over in the evening, my sister and I will definitely invite a few people to a high-end restaurant for a good meal!"
Huo Sining said politely: "It's already very good, Mr. Duke, you have given us a lot of convenience, I am very grateful, we let you break the bank." ”
Clayflow waved his hand: "It's my honor to serve the lady." ”
Saying that, his gaze fell on a few old men on the side: "This is Miss Huo's master, Mr. Zhou Shitao, Mr. Zhou, please take a seat, I have always admired you very much, and I really want to get to know you. ”
Zhou Shitao is usually quite modest to people, even if someone praises Huo Sining, he is proud and happy, but he always has to show a humble look on his face, but when facing Clayflo, he has no idea of hiding it at all, he directly raised his chin, and said without humility or arrogance:
"Don't hide it from Mr. Duke, this child is the most talented one of the apprentices I taught, and the other apprentices of mine can't compare to this one, she is the most proud disciple of my Zhou Shitao in his life, and it is also the last one before I closed the door and closed the mountain, to be able to accept such an apprentice, it is not her luck, but the blessing of my Zhou Shitao's cultivation of several lifetimes. ”
When Zhou Shitao said this, the kind of doting and complacent attitude towards Huo Sining revealed in his eyes was overflowing, even Xie Daoyuan and Huang Zhenlong, who had never seen Zhou Shitao like this, were a little stunned.
Clayflow smiled: "Mr. Zhou is right, if I have such an apprentice, I am afraid that I will be afraid of melting in my mouth, and I am afraid of falling in my hand." ”
After some greetings, everyone sat down, and there were already waiters waiting outside the door to present the dishes to the table, and Huo Sining and his party were very surprised to see those dishes, because these dishes turned out to be Chinese dishes, which was obviously specially prepared by Clayflaw for Huo Sining and his party.
"This is the dish made by my family's Chinese chef, but I don't know if it suits the taste of a few people, I like to eat Chinese cuisine very much, especially the Bashu cuisine of your country is very interesting, my sister and I are not tired of eating it. ”
As he spoke, Clayflow took the lead in lifting a hairy lid, revealing the bright red and greasy chili grease inside, and everyone drooled.
In fact, Huo Sining has not eaten a serious Chinese dish since they came to Philadelphia, most of the time it is solved by fast food, and even if it is a Chinese restaurant, those dishes are specially improved to adapt to the taste of the Chinese people, and the taste is very strange, for Huo Sining's group of authentic gluttons, such dishes are simply torment.
After eating, Clayflow couldn't help but ask Huo Sining how the results of the morning were.
Huo Sining didn't hide it, and shrugged his shoulders directly: "It seems that I haven't figured out the specific situation, and I haven't done enough knowledge and homework on the black market auction, I didn't expect that the original Western upper class society's love for the culture of the country was so enthusiastic, completely beyond my estimate, a gilt silver plate can be auctioned for a high price of 800,000 yuan, which is simply unimaginable." ”
Clayflow wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "This may have something to do with the history of Western countries, China is an ancient civilization in the world, compared with China, how many years is the history of the United States, and how many years are the European aristocracy?"
"The precipitation of civilization requires history and time to accumulate, the Chinese civilization is brilliant, and many exquisite objects derived from it, not only those bidders, but even the people of my family, are amazed, thousands of years of cultural accumulation, after that every item, I am afraid that there are countless thrilling stories, even if it is for the story behind this, what does it matter if you spend a lot of money?"
