As soon as the abalone enters the mouth, the intoxicating flavor explodes in the mouth, drowning all the taste buds and causing all tasters to sigh with satisfaction. Although the abalone has been cut very thinly, it is still tough and chewy. Even those reporters who don't know much about it feel that the abalone they eat today is significantly different from before, and it tastes much better in comparison.

And those who are more knowledgeable will be pleasantly surprised by the surprise of these abalone after tasting them. After tasting the abalone, they can be completely sure that these abalone are indeed rare and superb. The gourmets who attended the auction were pleasantly surprised, they had never tasted such delicious abalone in their memory. There were two gourmets who were particularly fond of this dish and were even more moved to tears, and secretly vowed to take a few abalone and go back to taste it slowly.

Seeing that everyone had intoxicated expressions on their faces, Xiao Ping was also very satisfied with this. The warm-up worked very well to let everyone know how high the quality of the abalone at the auction was. Although it cost more than a dozen two-headed abalones, it was obviously worth it.

After everyone had tasted the abalone on the plate, Xiao Ping smiled into the microphone and said: "I believe you have an understanding of the quality of the company's 'Xianhu' brand abalone, and then the auction will officially begin!"

As soon as Xiao Ping's words fell, a professional auctioneer who was well-known on Hong Kong Island walked quickly to the rostrum and announced loudly: "The first auction is the best two-headed abalone, and any guest who has paid a deposit can raise a sign to bid, and of course he is also qualified to inspect the goods on the spot." The two-headed abalone is auctioned in pairs, and now let's start the auction of the first pair of two-headed abalone. ”

While the auctioneer speaks. The two waiters opened the thermostatic humidor behind him and showed the abalone inside to everyone. At the same time, take out a pair of abalone and place it on the auction table.

Seeing the neatly lined abalone in the cabinet, everyone couldn't help but secretly gasp. Although the exact number of abalone has not been counted. But it's definitely more than three digits. Judging from the quality and quantity of abalone, there is really no exaggeration in the previous media advertising.

This made all the guests who paid the deposit sigh in their hearts that they were lucky, today is obviously a good opportunity to return with a full load, but they must not miss it. And those who did not believe in advertising and did not participate in this auction at all obviously missed a rare opportunity.

However, everyone present did not have the time to feel sorry for not coming, and the two waiters opened the packaging of the abalone so that everyone could see the auction items clearly. A few people still didn't feel comfortable going up to take a closer look, and after seeing it clearly, they all nodded in satisfaction. They all praised that this is indeed the best two-headed abalone.

"Since everyone has no opinion on the lot, the auction has officially begun. The auctioneer took a small mallet and announced loudly: "The reserve price of each pair of double-headed dried abalone is 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the price increase starts at 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, and now you can bid." ”

Because this is the first pair of abalone in the auction, no one wants to be wronged, so the bidding is more cautious, and each price increase is according to the lowest range of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.

However, while being cautious, no one is willing to give up these superb two-headed abalones, so everyone is bidding quickly. It is often a person who has just raised a sign to ask for a price. The other immediately followed suit. In some cases, several people even raised their cards at the same time, which made the auctioneer a little confused.

Under such circumstances, the price of a pair of two-headed abalone quickly doubled from 300,000 yuan to more than 450,000 yuan. By this time, the rate of price increases had finally slowed down. The auctioneer was able to see each person's bid more easily. Holding a small gavel, he announced loudly: "Mr. No. 182 is asking for 460,000 yuan, Mr. 53 is asking for 470,000 yuan, and Mr. 16 is asking for 480,000 yuan! 480,000 twice, 480,000 3 times. Deal!"

As the small mallet in the auctioneer's hand fell, the first pair of abalone was sold for 480,000 yuan. In order to reassure buyers. Xiao Ping allowed the buyer who photographed the abalone to inspect the goods on the spot. The other party is obviously knowledgeable, and after carefully examining the abalone, he couldn't close his mouth with pleasure, and he hated to take the pair of abalone away immediately.

Others saw his performance and naturally knew that this showed that there was no problem with the quality of the abalone. So one by one, they were gearing up to win the first prize in the auction of the second pair of abalone.

The transaction price of the first pair of abalone also indicates what the psychological price of everyone is. The auction was much faster, and almost every pair of abalone was sold for about 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Watching the small mallets in the auctioneer's hand fall one after another, Xiao Ping next to him was also smiling happily. There are a total of 200 two-headed abalone and 10 one-head abalone in this auction, and from the current situation, just those 100 pairs of two-headed abalone can be sold for more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars. Excluding expenses such as advertising fees, taxes and handling fees, Xiao Ping can make at least 30 or 40 million nets, not counting the income of the ten abalones. Just one auction can have such an income, which is enough to make Xiao Ping satisfied.

What's more, it is conceivable that when this auction is over, the brand "Xian Hu" will definitely cause a sensation across the country. In the future, when people in the food industry mention this brand, they will definitely associate it with adjectives such as "high-end", "boutique", and "precious". This is very good for building a brand image, if there is no auction as an opportunity, even if Xiao Ping spends tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, it may not be able to have such a good publicity effect.

Now that Xiao Ping has both promoted the brand and made money, it is no wonder that he will be happy when he watches the small mallet in the auctioneer's hand keep knocking down.

Because the speed of the auction was accelerated, a hundred pairs of two-headed abalone were quickly auctioned. After the hammer fell to the last pair of two-headed abalone, Xiao Ping had earned more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars. It made so much money in just one auction, and it also made many guests who participated in the auction enthusiastic and heartbeat.

However, in addition to envying Xiao Ping, everyone also admired him very much. There are two hundred top-quality two-headed abalones, which is not something that ordinary people can take. Even Tang Kee Seafood Shop, the most famous time-honored abalone shop on Hong Kong Island, definitely does not have the strength to come up with so many superb two-head abalone at one time.

Among the people who participated in the auction of the two-headed abalone, some wanted to buy a treasure for their shop, some did it for investment, and a few just for a feast. Although these people have paid a lot of money, everyone is very satisfied. In their opinion, it is very cost-effective to buy a pair of superb two-headed abalone for hundreds of thousands.

After the last pair of two-headed abalone was auctioned off, others congratulated those who had made a profit. They themselves were in a good mood, and although they were saying some modest words in their mouths, they couldn't hide the smug expressions on their faces.

Xiao Ping looked at everyone's reactions with a smile, and waited for the scene to be quieter before announcing loudly: "Everyone, all the two-headed abalone has been successfully shot." The next thing we want to auction is ten excellent abalones!"

As soon as Xiao Ping's words came out, the scene immediately became silent. Speaking from the heart, Xiao Ping was able to take out so many two-headed abalone at one time, which was already a big surprise. Even if he immediately announced that the auction was over, and did not mention anything about Bao at all, everyone would feel that the trip was worthwhile.

However, Xiao Ping actually announced that there were still ten one-head abalone to be auctioned, which naturally lifted everyone's spirits. The owners of several large restaurants and seafood shops all sat up straight, eagerly awaiting the second round of auctions. For them, although the two-headed abalone is rare, it is not completely impossible to buy. However, the best abalone is extremely rare, which is the main purpose of their auction.

Under everyone's gaze, a waiter carefully held a single abalone on the auction table. When he unpacked the abalone, there was a gasp at the scene. Insiders can see at a glance that this is indeed only one abalone. In the entire Hong Kong Island market this year, there has not been a single abalone at all. Now that I saw it here, everyone was really surprised and delighted.

Several guests who were interested in bidding and had special experience in abalone identification expressed their satisfaction with the quality of the abalone after inspecting this one-head abalone.

After receiving everyone's approval, the auctioneer solemnly announced: "Everyone, the auction of one abalone has officially begun! The low price of this abalone is 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the price increase is 20,000 Hong Kong dollars each time, and now you can bid!"

Although there were not as many bidders in the second round of the auction as just now, the atmosphere was much more tense than in the previous auction of the two abalones. Those powerful guests launched a fierce competition, and after dozens of rounds of bidding, this one-head abalone was finally sold at a price of 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars.

The number of abalone in one is much less than that in two, and everyone is not willing to give up every opportunity to bid, so the price of the next nine abalone is higher than the other. The price of the tenth abalone has exceeded two million, which really surprised Xiao Ping.

And those who bought a bun have also become the envy of everyone. Although they have to pay a price of nearly two million Hong Kong dollars, it is still worth it in the eyes of insiders. Many people only hate that they don't have enough strength, otherwise they will definitely join the ranks of bidding for a bun.

Ten one-head abalone brought nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars to Xiao Ping, plus the income of the previous two abalones, this auction also made Xiao Ping earn more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, which can really be regarded as a lot of money.

However, in addition to making Xiao Ping a lot of money from this auction, what satisfied him more was undoubtedly the publicity effect. In fact, the auction caused a huge stir in the food and beverage scene on Hong Kong Island. (To be continued.) )
