Chapter 213: Early Auction
There are some things that people are not prepared to follow the script at all, and they originally thought that the auction would be held in the evening, just like the previous two times. Unexpectedly, after lunch, just after half an hour of rest, Mu Xiaoxue came to inform that the auction would start at two o'clock.
In other words, the last auction did not take place in the evening, as everyone thought, but began during the day.
When he got the news, Xu Wenjie felt that some people on the ship might be blind, and once the auction was over, the people on the ship would probably be sent away.
When the deal is made, there is no way those pirates can do anything to all the rich people on board. So, they have to snatch things from the ship before the deal is made, in which case the loss will be borne by the forces behind the ship.
Xu Wenjie stayed on the deck of the ship for a while, and found that in addition to the two guys who were pirates, there were several people who were a little suspicious.
It seems that the situation on this ship is much more complicated than he imagined, but he doesn't know how many people are guys with ulterior motives.
When he entered the auction hall, he found that the atmosphere today was obviously wrong, and in the entire auction hall, there were few people talking at all, and everyone was silent.
As a result, some people who were originally talking to also stopped communicating with each other.
Mark appeared on the table in front of the auction hall, looked at everyone and said, "I'm sorry, for some reason, the auction time has been adjusted temporarily. In order to express my apologies to everyone, after the auction is over, a small gift will be prepared for everyone. But. I believe that everyone is interested in this last auction. I'm looking forward to it. Then the auction begins. ”
Mark is gone, and this time it is an old man who no one has ever seen, who should be the host of this auction.
The first auction item, covered with a red cloth, was brought up.
"There is something special about this auction item, first of all, I turned off the lights in the hall and closed the curtains around it. Okay, now the brightness in the room is about the same. The next thing you see is a very special auction item. ”
As the old man spoke, he took the red cloth away from the object, and a bright light suddenly came out from below. When the red cloth is completely removed, the contents of the plate are like a small sun, dazzling.
"It's a glow-in-the-dark cup made of gemstones of unknown material, and you can see it, at night. It will shine brightly. When sunlight appears, the light will slowly converge. A strange circle of light is formed around the cup, like a protective film. After identification, this is not fluorescent, and there is no record of this substance on the earth, and it is likely to come from outer space. ”
After everyone watched for a while, the old man said: "The starting price is 10 million, and the price will be increased by 50,000 yuan each time." ”
Xu Wenjie looked at the cup on it, although he liked it a little, but at the price of 10 million, he could only shake his head.
As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, the price was directly raised to fifteen million, reaching 20 million, and it only took three minutes. The world of rich people let Xu Wenjie know what madness is.
Is such a cup really worth that much money, although it does look beautiful, like a fairy baby.
The final transaction price was 50 million, and the guy who bought this cup was a rich man in Europe, and listening to the nagging voice in that guy's mouth, I don't know if he regarded this thing as a holy grail.
It seems that this is a fanatical rich man, and his head is a little unable to turn.
One thing after another was put up for auction, and a few of them also caused competition from those guys who had been sitting as steady as Mount Tai and had not participated in the auction all along.
Xu Wenjie found that most of the things that these people snatched were some strange-looking text tablets. This kind of slate, other rich people have no interest at all.
Halfway through the auction, some people began to walk out of the auction hall. After more than ten minutes, he walked in from the outside.
After these guys came in, they suddenly became less enthusiastic about the auction, which made Xu Wenjie know that some people were ready to do it.
When the last few auction items were left, those who had rarely participated in the past finally moved, and one of them, who heard that it was a metal box that recorded some secrets, was directly bought by an old man for 280 million.
And a piece of metal that looked like a key was also bought by a guy for 360 million. This group of people is completely crazy, Xu Wenjie sat in his position, listening to their crazy offers, and felt that the price quoted in their mouths did not seem to be money, but a string of numbers.
When a strange-looking stone slab was brought up, Xu Wenjie found that the atmosphere in the entire hall had changed again, and many people were obviously unable to calm down.
Xu Wenjie saw that even Lan Luoying's grandfather was no longer sitting there calmly at this time. It seems that what these people are fighting for is this stone slab, which is only the size of two palms.
Looking at the slate carefully, Xu Wenjie found that there were countless strange words densely engraved on it. He didn't know any of these words, and they should be very old.
But the strange thing is that when the auctioneer quoted the bidding price, those who could not sit still suddenly fell silent again, and then no one bid.
After a while, perhaps sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, the auctioneer said, "Has anyone bid?" If no one bids, the item goes unsold. ”
At this time, a guy raised a card and increased the price by 10,000, making the price of this slate 110,000.
I thought those guys would compete, but what Xu Wenjie didn't expect was that no one bid again. After discovering this situation, he reached out and added ten thousand.
Since you don't want to do anything, if you buy this thing, no matter what it is, there must be a big secret.
When the time comes, he will have things in his hands, and those who do not believe will not come to him and tell the secrets.
Lan Luoying saw that it was Xu Wenjie who made the bid, Zou frowned, and followed her grandfather to say a few words, as if she was stopped.
As a result, this slate was actually photographed by Xu Wenjie at a price of 120,000 yuan. watched the transaction of things, and the person who got the things was Xu Wenjie, and many people in the hall seemed to be relieved.
Xu Wenjie didn't understand that these people obviously wanted this slate very much, so why didn't they bid for it. However, he soon thought of the reason, there was more than one person who wanted this thing, and if someone really participated in the auction and competed, it would definitely be cheaper for the organizers.
As long as they don't make a move, wait for the thing to be bought by someone who doesn't know what it is for, and then find a way to get it. Thinking of this, Xu Wenjie found that it seemed to be a mistake for him to buy this slate.
In the next auction, Xu Wenjie didn't have the heart to pay attention to the crazy competition of those guys, he was thinking about how to deal with what might happen next. (To be continued......)
