Three-five-eight
At this moment, in the large warehouse of the seventh city where the auction is about to be held, Markles is commanding a large group of people to set up the scene, especially conspicuously, the huge warehouse is separated from the middle by a huge black cloth, the front is placed with seats and benches, and the back is completely isolated, forming a separate area.
In front of the black cloth, Markles had a small square table set up, on which were delicately placed small golden hammers and some dispensable, decorative ornaments.
About half an hour after the invitation was sent, the person in charge of the first invited alien beast resource store, PΓΉ, appeared alone at the door of the warehouse, a short-haired woman in her thirties.
"What the hell is that coward doing?" The mid-range pure silver flying machine worth nine million three hundred and forty thousand divine coins landed on the berth outside the warehouse, and the short-haired woman who got down from the aircraft frowned, looked at the four men in black guarding the door, and had a funny feeling.
It's just a cowardly bronze medal mercenary, and he actually arranges four guards at the door of the so-called auction site he held? The short-haired woman sneered silently, shook her head, took out her invitation from her bag, and walked over without hurrying.
"Hello ma'am, please show me your invitation." The four janitors who had been brought in from the etiquette company were very conscientious, and even when they saw that the short-haired woman was wearing some more expensive luxuries, they politely stopped her and asked to check the invitation.
The short-haired woman sneered silently again, she nodded, handed the invitation in her hand to one of the doormen, and asked, "What the hell is going on here?" β
"Dear Ms. Chen, I wish you a happy life."
There was no doorman to answer her questions, and the doorman in charge of checking her invitations smiled politely and sideways out of the way.
This situation makes this short-haired woman even more strange. She frowned and led slightly. There was a crisp sound of the high-heeled shoes touching the ground, and through the aisle made by the doorman, into the scene of the so-called auction.
The arrangement was in a hurry, especially the black cloth hanging on the wall that divided the entire warehouse in half, which made her laugh even more, the cowardly bronze medal mercenary, didn't he even have a little basic taste?
"Yo, it's Manager Chen here......" The short-haired woman was scanning the layout of the auction site with disdain, and Marques, who was standing on the side of the door, noticed her arrival for the first time, and immediately greeted her with a smile on her face and said, "Thank you for coming!" β
"Dear Mr. Mercenary." The short-haired woman looked down on Markles from the bottom of her heart. But a glimpse of the bronze badge hanging on his chest, which is glory for others and shame for him, is still to be honored on the surface.
At least the short-haired woman did a good job on the surface, and she also smiled, and greeted Markles sincerely: "Hello." β
"It's all good." Markles smiled and nodded and asked, "I wonder if Store Manager Chen is ready?" β
"What preparation?" The short-haired woman was slightly stunned, not knowing what Markles meant by this, ready? What else do you need to prepare for a place like this rag? She was puzzled.
Noticing the short-haired woman's surprised look, Markles also sneered in his heart. Although he is timid, he is definitely not a fool, how can he not see the contempt of the short-haired woman for him?
So, the words that should have reminded her. Swallowed back by Markles, he smiled mysteriously at the short-haired woman and said, "It seems that Store Manager Chen is ready for everything." So, please take a seat. "When the other bidders for this auction arrive, we'll start right away."
"Hmm. You get busy with yours first, I'll go first. The short-haired woman smiled noncommittally, and then walked to the seat in front of her with her black bag.
In the next twenty minutes or so, the people in charge of the various stores who received the invitations also arrived one after another, and they sat down one by one under the warm hospitality of Marques, waiting for the auction to begin, which seemed ridiculous to them.
As for the contempt and contempt of these people, Markles smiled indifferently, because he knew that these people would soon be shocked, and then, like a clown, called their superiors!
Markles has this certainty, and he has this confidence.
At thirty-three o'clock, all the people in charge of the store who were invited to participate had already arrived at the scene, sitting on chairs and chatting and laughing with their peers unscrupulously.
At this time, Markles wore a silver combat uniform and a bronze badge and walked solemnly to the auction table at the front, coughed slightly and cleared his throat, he picked up the microphone and said: "Store managers and managers, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to this auction, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you on behalf of my boss." β
The chatter and laughter in the warehouse gradually subsided, and the dozens of shop directors stared at each other, because Markles's opening remarks surprised them.
The boss of a Bronze Mercenary? Even if this is just a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death, it seems that there are not many people who can make him feel convinced, right?
The curiosity and anticipation of this auction gradually turned to the mysterious boss behind Marques, who almost subconsciously remembered the corpse and core of the stinger monitor lizard that Markles had sold to the boutique house for 143 million a few hours earlier.
Could it be that the fifth-level alien beast stinger monitor lizard was hunted by Marques's boss? They looked curiously at Markles on the stage, waiting for his next step.
"All of you here are representatives of the city's exotic beast resource industry, and I won't play any dumb riddles with you, today I invite you to come here to participate in the auction, the main topic is, of course, the business related to exotic beasts." Markles smiled mysteriously: "Please managers and store managers hold your chin......"
"Wow!" Before everyone could react, the huge black cloth hanging behind Markles suddenly slipped down, revealing the scene behind the black cloth!
"Oh my God!" The person in charge of each shop in the room stood up from his chair almost at the same time, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "This ...... So many alien beast corpses?! "The mountains of alien beast corpses are piled up on top of each other to fill most of the warehouse, and there is a looming layer of isolation energy behind the black cloth, completely blocking the smell of the alien beast corpses. No wonder these people didn't smell even the slightest hint of blood when they came in!
The warehouse is huge, and there are mountains of exotic beast corpses. but occupies half of the warehouse...... How many carcasses are there? If it is swallowed and dismantled and then resold again, how much profit can it bring to the store? How will their performance improve? Just because of the commission, everyone was suffocated, and they looked at the mountains of strange beast corpses in front of them with red faces, as if they saw countless divine coins rushing towards them, this kind of visual shock was definitely beyond people's imagination!
At this time, Markles saw the picture he expected to see, and he said slowly, "These are some of the beast corpses we are going to auction today."
Part! The person in charge of the sensitive shop quickly grasped the point. A suffocating sensation of rapid heartbeat made their breathing extremely heavy.
This is the corpse of the alien beast that has piled up most of the warehouse, and it is only a part? So...... what will be the total number of alien beast corpses that are really going to be sold today? Three thousand? Six thousand? Still is...... 10,000 heads?!
There is only one fifth-level beast forest near City No. 7, and there are few mercenaries who dare to enter the beast forest to hunt alien beasts on weekdays, and most of them are searching for those unlucky first-level alien beasts on the periphery of the beast forest.
Therefore, although the business of the Alien Beast Resources in City Seven is not bad, it can only be the lowest performing store in the respective company consortium. Therefore, the corpse of each alien beast is a resource that the person in charge of each store strives for, because it represents their performance. It also represents the level of their salary!
No one would have thought that on such an ordinary day, such an inexplicable invitation letter would hide such a number of corpses of alien beasts, and all the people in charge of the store here had a trance feeling of being knocked out by a big pie. Some of them don't believe their ears and eyes.
However, in the face of such a strong visual impact, they did not even have the courage to doubt. They didn't react in any way other than their cheeks, which were flushed from overexcitement.
Looking at the dumbfounded managers and store managers below, Markles standing on the high platform had a feeling of raising his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that it was actually a good choice to find a boss with all the means, at least ...... He felt vanity like he had never felt before.
Markles coughed lightly, interrupting the exclamations of everyone present, and he said unhurriedly: "As you have seen and heard, there are more than two thousand alien beast corpses here, all of which are the corpses of second-level alien beasts, and these are only a small part of the total number of alien beast corpses we are going to auction today. β
Under the gaze of everyone's almost glowing eyes, Markles chuckled and said, "In addition to this, we also have a larger number of third-level alien beast corpses, as well as more than two thousand fourth-level alien beast corpses, and ...... The corpses of some fifth-level alien beasts. β
"Of course, the most important thing is that the corpses of these alien beasts are all whole corpses, and the beast cores in their bodies have not been taken out yet."
"Hiss......" As soon as Marks' words came out, he immediately caused a sudden sound of snorting at the scene. It's all the corpses that didn't take the beast core?!
Dozens of managers and store managers suddenly jumped up, looking at the corpses of those strange beasts, as if they were looking at their lovers, tender and sweet, full of possessiveness.
Seeing that the emotions of these people had been mobilized, Markles raised his hands unhurriedly, gently pressed them in the void, and said: "I believe that the purpose of inviting you here today is very clear to you, so I am here to state the rules of today's auction." β
Everyone held their breath and their eyes widened for fear that they might accidentally hear the wrong word.
"As you can see, the total number of corpses of the alien beasts we have to deal with today has reached 23,799,000,000," Markles said, "The total value of the beasts is incalculable...... However, the carcass of the alien beast must be disposed of as much as possible, otherwise it will cause losses such as decay and corruption. β
"Therefore, our rule today is that all the corpses of the second-level alien beasts are in a group of five hundred, and the starting price is 35 million divine coins, and each price increase shall not be less than 500,000 divine coins, and if no one increases the price after three times, it means that the auction is successful."
"And there are more third-level alien beast corpses than the second-level alien beast corpses. Since the price of the third-level alien beast is much higher than that of the second-level alien beast, considering the number of people here, my boss decided to take the whole corpse of a hundred third-level alien beasts as a group, and the starting price is 60 million divine coins, and each price increase shall not be less than one million divine coins. β
"As for the more advanced fourth-level alien beast corpses, it is a group of twenty fourth-level alien beast corpses, and the starting price is 600 million divine coins. Each price increase shall not be less than 5 million coins, and if no one increases the price after three times, it means that the auction is successful. β
"And the last fifth-level alien beast is all corpse...... With the whole corpse of five fifth-level beasts as a group, the starting price is one billion divine coins, and each price increase shall not be less than 10 million divine coins, and if no one increases the price after three times, it means that the auction is successful. β
"In addition to that, we also have a finale of the Blood Crown Argonian Beast corpse that will be auctioned separately." Speaking of this in one breath, Markles was already smiling: "The whole corpse of this blood-crowned wurmon." The starting price is 300 million coins, and each price increase shall not be less than 50 million coins...... That's the general rule, and now, all of you have ten minutes to go. Go and ask your leaders. β
The auction scene could hear the pins falling, and everyone was you looking at me, I looked at you, and they were a little dumbfounded for a while. This way of bundling auctions, they are unheard of!
There are no inspections, no spot checks. What is it that you get in the end, which ...... How does this make people start?
The store manager and manager who are more rigid are a little confused by this kind of auction rules, and the store manager and manager who are more flexible. But I have already seen the greasy in it.
There is no doubt that this kind of bundled auction method is definitely an innovation, but they are not concerned about this, they only care about whether they will bring profit to the store after they buy it?
Take a group of 500 second-level alien beasts to calculate, the starting price of 35 million divine coins is equivalent to pricing the whole corpse of each second-level alien beast at 70,000 divine coins, and in fact, the lowest second-level alien beast full corpse can be bought at a price of nearly 100,000, and if you encounter a good one, you may go up more than ten or two hundred thousand.
In other words, the starting price of 35 million is not high, the key is what price they will finally take the whole corpse of this group of 500 second-level alien beasts.
After hastily calculating, they found that if they could take down a group of second-level alien beast corpses within 60 million, the profit would still be amazingly high, if it was 80 million, the profit would already be quite thin, if it broke 100 million......
It's a gamble, and dozens of shops gather here for a gamble! And in the end, the biggest beneficiary is clearly the mysterious boss behind Marques.
However, understanding is understanding, even if they know that they will suffer a loss, they have to go to the auction, because there are too many people, and if they fight, anything can happen, and they have to suffer this loss.
So, the store managers and managers who had figured it out hurriedly took out their communication devices to contact their bosses, reported the situation here as it was, and asked their bosses to delegate their authority to let them bid.
And those store managers who were still hesitating, as soon as they saw that others began to contact them, they naturally would not be willing to be left behind, so they also started to contact.
There was a lot of chaos at the auction site, but Markles, who was standing on the high platform, was already smiling...... What bullshit boss confessed, in fact, Wang Ming just threw these beast corpses to him for him to dispose of, but did not give him any instructions.
In other words, Markles can be solely responsible for the disposal of the carcasses of these alien beasts, that is, methods such as bundling auctions are also his own ideas.
"Rob it, grab it, the more fierce and ruthless you rob, the better Lao Tzu can complete the boss's task and get the boss's affirmation." Markles thought with a smile: "I believe that the boss will not treat me badly, I must do this errand beautifully!" β
Ten minutes later, dozens of store managers and managers who were invited to participate in the auction had already received the approval of the above, and a large amount of money was pouring into their store accounts......
"Looks like you're all ready." Markles stood back on the high platform with a smile, pressed his hands on the edge of the table, propped his body and looked condescendingly at the person in charge of the shop, and said: "Now let's warm up first, the first group of five hundred second-level beasts of the whole corpse, the starting price is 35 million divine coins, and each increase shall not be less than 500,000 divine coins, below, please bid." β
"Forty million Divine Coins." A short, stocky, balding man took the lead in raising the bidding card in his hand, and the words '40 million times divine coins' appeared on the screen of the bidding board.
Markles looked at him with a smile and was about to call out his offer when the short-haired woman held up her bid sign......
"Forty million times God Coins! Oh no, Ms. Chen bid 58 million times for God Coins! Is there anything higher? No. 37, Manager Li bid 61 million times for divine coins! Markles grabbed the golden hammer and spat on the high platform.
Soon, the price of the whole corpse of the first group of five hundred second-level alien beasts soared to seventy-nine million, and by this time, some people had already chosen to give up.
After all, it's only a second-level alien beast, and if you're lucky, you might make a lot of money by buying 79 million, but if you're a little unlucky, the profit you can get is quite thin.
In the end, the whole corpse of this group of five hundred second-level alien beasts was auctioned off by a white and pure young man at the price of 80.5 million divine coins, and it was sold.
Compared to the five hundred corpses of second-level alien beasts, eight and a half million divine coins is already quite a good price, and Markles is quite satisfied with such a transaction price, which is a good start.
In the Sub-God Continent, the consumption rate of alien beast resources is very fast, so the whole corpse of alien beasts is also a long-lasting market darling, and there is no worry about sales at all.
With the stimulus of the high price of the first group, the whole corpses of the second, third, and fourth groups of second-class alien beasts were also auctioned at high prices of 79 million, 82 million, and 86.5 million respectively, and all of them were sold smoothly.
After the two thousand second-level alien beasts were divided into four groups for auction, Markles put down the small golden hammer in his hand and said with a smile: "The whole corpse of the second-level alien beast, there are two hundred and seventy-six, this is the last batch of second-level alien beast corpses, the starting price is twenty million divine coins, and each price increase shall not be less than one million divine coins!" β
After another round of bidding, the last two hundred and seventy-six second-level alien beasts were all corpses bought by the white young man before for forty-three million, and Markles was already smiling and squinting.
"Now, the boss should praise me for doing things, right?" He thought to himself.
In the warehouse that was temporarily transformed into an auction, the auction of the corpses of the alien beasts was being carried out in a lively atmosphere, and the transaction of each batch of alien beast corpses meant that Wang Ming had a lot of income.
But in fact, Wang Ming didn't pay attention to the progress of the processing of the alien beast corpses, and he didn't ask how many sub-god coins this batch of alien beast corpses could bring him, because at this time, he had already appeared on the second floor of the administrative building of the seventh city of the Max Political District of the Dirk Kingdom, that is, the office of the Mercenary Association in the seventh city of the Max Political District.
It was still the luxuriously decorated hall, and it was also a red-haired woman in her thirties who handled the settlement voucher business for Wang Ming that day.
"Dear Mr. Mercenary, is there anything you need help with?" Seeing Wang Ming approaching the hall empty-handed and appearing directly in front of the counter, the red-haired woman who had already had a deep impression of Wang Ming immediately stood up from her chair and asked with a smile.
"Well, I have some vouchers that need to be settled." Wang Ming smiled at the red-haired woman, nodded and said, "Then, I also need a set of high-grade combat uniforms." β
"Oh?" The red-haired woman's eyes lit up, because she clearly remembered that when Wang Ming came over last time, he was scared away by the high price of hundreds of millions, and it was just a set of intermediate 7th generation combat uniforms......
She glanced at Wang Ming in surprise, then nodded with a smile and said, "Of course it's no problem, please show your badge and the voucher that needs to be settled." β
"Hmm." Wang Ming nodded calmly, took off the bronze badge pinned to his chest, and in the process, he subconsciously glanced at his feet that had changed into a pair of sneakers, and the corners of his mouth showed a wry smile. (To be continued......)
