Chapter 035: Borrowing Chickens to Lay Eggs

"Ladies and gentlemen, the last novel we want to auction is a tomb robbery novel, titled "Book Tomb Notes". ”

On the table in the auction hall is a novel with yellowed pages and a picture of an ancient tomb printed on the cover.

Looking at the guests in the audience, the host introduced: "As we all know, the difficulty of creating tomb robbery novels is very high, and before that, the highest level of tomb robbery novels in our country was only one star. And the book "Book Tomb Notes" to be auctioned tonight is the first two-star tomb robbery novel in history. Although it is a fragment, it is extremely collectible, a rare classic in the plot flow, and has great reference significance in terms of creative techniques. The reserve price of this novel is 200,000 yuan, and the price increase is at least 10,000 yuan at a time. ”

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly became a little more gunpowdery.

"220,000!"

"250,000!"

"270,000!"

……

Watching the price rise and fall, many guests at the scene suddenly had a little more serious on their faces, except for one person, he was naturally Liu Xing.

"300,000!"

"320,000!"

"350,000!"

……

As Liu Xing expected, tonight's auction was really full of local tyrants, and the bidding price continued to rise, and the price kept jumping up, making Liu Xing's chest pound.

Every time a local tyrant increases the price, Liu Xing's worth rises a little. The more the markup, the faster it rises.

The price of "Book Tomb Notes" rose from 20 to 300,000 and from 300,000 to 400,000, successfully breaking the previous record of 390,000 and becoming the novel with the highest bid tonight.

What makes Liu Xing even more excited is that the price is still soaring.

Liu Xing paid special attention to it and found that most of the people who asked for the price were elderly people, about sixty years old. Most of these old men are novel collectors and like to collect all kinds of novels.

Novels in Huaxia are expensive, and those who can become novel collectors generally come from very good families, and there is no shortage of billionaires.

This "Book Tomb Notes" is the country's first two-star tomb robbery novel, and the collection value is self-evident, so the on-site auction is very fierce, and after breaking through the 400,000 yuan mark, it has risen to 450,000 yuan.

Liu Xing originally thought that this should be about the same, the price of 450,000 yuan was far beyond his expectations, and just as he pinched his fingers to calculate how much money he could share, a voice sounded again.

"470,000!"

Suddenly, the audience fell silent, and all eyes focused on a woman in red clothes sitting in the eighth row, the woman was in her fifties, wearing a pair of reading glasses, an old bookseller on Novel Street, and had been in the bookstore business for more than 20 years.

Liu Xing began to calculate in his heart, according to his agreement with the auction house, he can get 70% of the transaction price, "Book Tomb Notes" is now auctioned for 470,000, Liu Xing can earn about 330,000, only 70,000 yuan away from the acquisition of Caiyun Bookstore's 400,000 yuan......

"480,000!"

Suddenly, another voice sounded, Liu Xing turned his head to look, and unexpectedly the person who asked for the price this time was actually Cai Fugui, who had been silent.

Cai Fugui is here tonight for "Notes on the Book Tomb"?

"500,000!" the woman in red continued to increase the price.

"520,000!" Cai Fugui seemed to have made up his mind.

"530,000!"

"540,000!"

……

For a while, the old woman in red and Cai Fugui formed a confrontation, the two went toe-for-tat, raising each other's prices, without any intention of backing down, and both sides seemed to be bound to win.

Seeing this, Liu Xing also felt strange, the woman in red and Cai Fugui are both old booksellers on Novel Street, they have never seen any books, why are they so obsessed with this "Book Tomb Notes"?

Liu Xing couldn't figure it out for a while, but there was a question he did understand - he was going to send it today!

As the auction price continues to rise, Liu Xing's personal wealth is also soaring rapidly!

"600,000!" the woman in red said in a more cold tone.

"620,000!" Cai Fugui's face did not change, and his tone was resolute!

"630,000!"

"650,000!"

……

The price has been rising round by round, and Liu Xing has been secretly calculating how much money he can share, but every time he just finished calculating, a new quotation immediately appeared, causing him to have to calculate again.

After this situation happened more than a dozen times in a row, Liu Xing became smart and simply didn't forget it, and decided to wait until their bidding was over.

Facts have proved that Liu Xing's strategy is completely correct, Cai Fugui and the woman in red really did not stop, raising the price again and again, from 500,000 to 600,000, from 600,000 to 700,000, and from 700,000 to an astonishing 800,000, and the bidding price was so high that many guests at the scene were dumbfounded.

Although "Notes on the Book Tomb" is extremely collectible, it is only a two-star novel after all, and it is also a eunuch text, with a beginning and no end, and now it is auctioned at a high price of 800,000, which is unprecedented.

Many senior novel collectors at the scene were also confused, these collectors had collected novels for decades, and they knew exactly what kind of novels were worth and how much they were worth. However, the high price of this book "Book Tomb Notes" was completely unforeseen by these collectors.

Many people can't help but have a question, why did Cai Fugui and the woman in red want "Book Tomb Notes" so much?

Spending 800,000 yuan to buy a two-star novel, is there anything strange about "Book Tomb Notes" that others have not discovered?

"820,000!"

In full view of everyone, the woman in red raised the bidding price again, her voice was already a little trembling, it was obvious that this price should be more than she could bear.

As soon as the woman in red finished calling the price, the eyes of many people at the scene couldn't help but focus on Cai Fugui, and Liu Xing also looked at Cai Fugui.

"840,000!" After hesitating for a while, Cai Fugui shouted out a new price.

Liu Xing couldn't help but silently calculate how much money he could share, 840,000 times 70% equals ...... Forty-seven twenty-eight, seventy-eighty-fifty-six...... Amount...... Almost 600,000! Unexpectedly, my net worth skyrocketed by 600,000 in just a few minutes!

"Is there still a price increase?"

At this time, the host of the auction site glanced at the audience, and after a moment, he said, "840,000 first! 840,000 second! 840,000 ......."

"880,000!"

At the last moment, the woman in red still couldn't hold back, and raised the price again.

Many people at the scene shook their heads, this price is already a bit outrageously high, I am afraid that it will break the record of the highest auction price of a two-star novel in the auction house.

"No one should have raised the price, right?" thought to the host, who had presided over hundreds of auctions, and it was rare to be as crazy as tonight, and he was about to announce the end of the tree.

"900,000!"

When Cai Fugui shouted out this price, the woman in red trembled with anger, her eyes squinted, and she cast a resentful gaze at Cai Fugui.

Suddenly, the scene fell silent, like the calm after a storm.

His eyes swept over the audience, and the host announced: "900,000 for the first time, 900,000 for the second time, 900,000 for the ......" The elongated tone lasted for five seconds, "The third time!" Okay, I announce that this "Book Tomb Notes" was auctioned by Boss Cai of the Fugui Book Bar at a price of 900,000. ”

At the moment when the announcement was over, Cai Fugui in the audience breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense expression finally relaxed.

With the birth of the auction results of "Book Tomb Notes", the auction officially came to an end in the afternoon, and the guests on the scene left one after another.

As he walked out of the auction hall, Cai Fugui walked with a middle-aged man wearing gold-wire glasses, a 45-year-old man named Jin Abiao, the deputy director of the Tianhai City Book Wholesale Market Office.

"Boss Cai, you are really extraordinary tonight! 900,000 yuan to win "Book Tomb Notes", this should be the highest-priced two-star novel in the history of the auction house!" When he came to the door of the auction hall, Jin Abiao asked strangely, "Is this "Book Tomb Notes" worth so much money?

"If you like it, you buy it, and money is something outside of your body. Cai Fugui smiled faintly, he also knew that this novel was not worth so much money, but this novel had other uses.

Jin Abiao admired: "Boss Cai is really generous, and the little brother is an eye-opener today." ”

"Where, where. By the way, Director Kim, I have something to tell you. Cai Fugui said, "I will buy Caiyun Bookstore the day after tomorrow, and I am going to buy an extra batch of books from you, you have to give me a good price!"

"Caiyun Bookstore?" Jin Adu was puzzled, "I seem to have heard that Caiyun Bookstore was bought by a man surnamed Liu, when did you buy it?"

Cai Fugui smiled: "Director Jin, you don't know anything. The man surnamed Liu was Lao Liu's son Liu Xing, who was suffering from dementia, and this kid had just come out of the psychiatric hospital, so how could he get 400,000 yuan to buy Caiyun Bookstore? He had a three-day appointment with Huang Caiyun, saying that he could earn 400,000 yuan in three days. The day after tomorrow will be the third day, he definitely doesn't have so much money, and Caiyun Bookstore will be mine by then. ”

Jin Abiao asked: "Boss Cai, why do you say that Liu Xing can't make up 400,000?"

"Director Jin, isn't this an obvious thing? Lao Liu's Mingxing Hotel has a bleak business, and the rent is almost impossible to pay, where does Liu Xing get 400,000?"

Cai Fugui said with a smile, "You should have seen it just now, this kid Liu Xing also came to the auction today, and he was still sitting in the first row, probably sneaking in." He was never seen bidding from beginning to end of the auction, apparently with no money in his pocket. If this kid can have 400,000, my name will be written upside down. ”

Feeling that the words were wrong, Jin Abiao reminded: "Boss Cai, don't you know, that "Book Tomb Notes" is Liu Xing's ......"

"What...... What?"

Cai Fugui's face changed, his eyes widened like eggs, and he asked urgently, "Are you...... What did you just say?"
