Chapter Eighty-Three: The Way of Trading
"Fifty thousand!"
Although Chu Ge's tone was light and fluttering when he said these two words, the will contained in them was categorical!
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Bonnard's sip of black tea choked directly in the trachea, even if he had already expected Chu Ge to raise the price, he would never have imagined that this guy would raise it to such an extent!
After relieving himself a little, Bonnard didn't even bother to clean up the tea stains on his clothes, and said to Chu Ge with a wry smile:
"I'm sorry, this price is really not acceptable to us, even if it is the third lot tonight, the final price is not expected to be much higher than this figure."
"To be honest, the value of this batch of goods in my mind is at most in the top seventeen of the auction items, maybe this is a bit too much, but it is true."
Are the first three items all Legendary......
After hearing Bonnard's words, Chu Ge didn't refute much, he naturally knew how outrageous the price he had just offered, a top-level dark gold weapon would generally not exceed 20,000 gold coins, and 50,000 gold coins would definitely be able to buy a low-level legendary item! (Note that the "Top Dark Gold Weapon" is compared to the "Legendary Item")
He certainly made such an offer not because he was crazy about money, but because of the excitement of the other four "teammates".
The market determines the price, and in this case it is definitely not in his character to extort the last sum of money.
What's more, he still has something valuable to take out!
"Also, this pile of fragments is really not worth 50,000 gold coins, so ......"
Chu Ge nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing with Bonnard's words, and then took out another round thing from the storage space,
"And what about it? The core of the Karakuri puppet! ”
Before Bonnard could take over the doll core, the half-hidden door of the box was slammed open, and it was the four upright experts!
"Sure enough! You really have a doll core! ”
Their expressions were very excited, and they rushed up like hungry dogs with bones, and snatched the core of the puppet from the Chu singer.
"Twitter......twitter" The four of them were discussing frantically.
By the time the noise was over, almost twenty minutes had passed, and the time for the auction to start was getting closer and closer.
After driving the four teammates out with a black face again and arguing for a while, Bonnal walked in and said to Chu Ge Zhengse:
"Your Excellency shouldn't have any other more valuable doll fragments, if you have one, please take them all out at once, otherwise it will be a waste of time to talk like this."
Chu Ge shook his head, although he still had a puppet core and many puppet fragments, he didn't plan to continue to sell them, and he would have other uses for these things after they went to the royal capital:
"Even if you beg me, I won't be able to get any more."
Bonnard naturally didn't fully believe it, but just smiled and said:
"That's good, I discussed it with several masters just now, and we all agreed that the core of the Karakuri doll has a high research value, so we plan to add another 4,000 gold coins to the original one, for a total of 12,000 coins, if you are not satisfied......"
Speaking of this, he changed his words, picked up a piece of doll fragment casually, and said with a playful expression,
"Although these things are indeed very valuable, you must know that in the whole of Midgarh and even the entire East County, the only one who can afford this price and is still interested in this batch of goods may be our Sylvia Auction House!"
Chu Ge stretched out an index finger and waved it gently, saying:
"What you said may be right, but your vision is not limited to Dongjun, as far as I know, there are two chambers of commerce in the royal capital alone that are willing to buy them."
Bonnard immediately retorted with a smile:
"In that case, I won't stop you much, you can take these things directly to the royal capital to sell, but without the help of these four big (pit) masters (goods), can you still guarantee a big advantage like this time? You can also try to put these things at auction and try the waters, and someone might be able to pay a higher price than us! ”
After hearing the other party's rebuttal, Chu Ge's eyes suddenly narrowed gloomily, and he couldn't help but think of the cold-blooded animal lurking in the shadows.
Bonnard was also a little uneasy by this look, and in the next second, Chu Ge, who was sitting opposite him, showed a strange smile and said something that made him even more uneasy!
"Yes, I have the help of four masters this time!!"
After finishing speaking, Chu Ge pointed to the vase placed in the corner of the box and asked:
"Excuse me, that vase shouldn't be worth more than ten gold coins, right?"
Bonnard was stunned, a little puzzled by the question, but he quickly replied:
"Won't ......"
Before the words fell, Chu Ge picked up the core of the puppet and smashed it towards the vase, and the two fragments immediately clanged and fell to the ground!
"Ahh You brute!! ”
"Aren't you afraid of being damned?!!
"Damn the crumbs! Stay away from those babes!! ”
"......" The unbearable cursing sounds, screams, and hurried footsteps came at the same time, and the masters who made these sounds were naturally the masters who broke into the door.
After entering the box, they pounced directly on the pile of porcelain shards, crying bitterly while carefully rummaging through the shards, as if the smashed thing was not a vase, but their **.
"Whew~ It's really a god's blessing, and there is no damage...... "After finding the core of the puppet, several masters carefully checked it, and they were relieved to find that there was no damage.
In fact, they are also concerned about chaos, although the hardness of the doll's core is not as hard as the doll's skin fragments, but even if they fall ten more times, it is by no means so easy to be destroyed, but they don't dare to take this risk.
"How about it, the 'help' of the masters is okay!" Chu Ge glanced at the few people squatting in the corner, and said to Bonnard with a smile.
Feeling the gazes of several masters that seemed to be about to eat people, Bonnard only felt that the pressure on his shoulders was a little heavier, and the next negotiations were probably even more difficult.
……
After nearly half an hour of talking, both sides are willing to make concessions, but the price gap between the two is still extremely huge.
The lowest price offered by Chu Ge was: 32,000 gold coins.
The price of Bonnard's limit is: 17,000 gold coins.
The gap is almost doubled!
By comparing it with the original price, it is easy to see the oddity, as the dominant side, Chu Ge will actually give in much more than Bonnard, but this is not surprising.
On the one hand, Chu Ge knew that 50,000 gold coins were opening his mouth in the lion's mouth, and in his heart, this price was a big profit if it was halved, and on the other hand, the price given by Bonnard at the beginning was also fair (Bonnard himself thought), so it was extremely difficult to raise it every time, and it became what it is now after a long time.
It's a pity that the final price can't be negotiated by both sides.
Under all kinds of pressure, Bonnard was also exhausted, he simply put his heart sideways, and said to Chu Ge weakly:
"I'm sorry, but if this price continues to rise, it will not be within the scope of my position, in order to meet your needs, I must contact the above." After saying that, he got up and walked out, his steps looking a little vain.
In addition to Chu Ge's difficulty, Bonnard's haggard is also due to those masters.
Because they were afraid that Chu Ge would throw things again, the four of them waited aside. In order to allow research to be carried out at the early end of the deal, they also muttered a few words from time to time during the negotiation process, which made Bonnard's head fight.
After waiting for ten minutes, accompanied by Bonnard, a young and beautiful woman walked in, although her clothes were very plain, but she still couldn't hide the heroic spirit between her eyebrows.
After coming in, she first nodded to the four masters, and then said to Chu Ge with her trademark service smile:
"It seems that this negotiation is not going well, even our Mr. Bonnard has come to pour bitter water on me, my name is Fionay, I probably know what happened before, I will take over this transaction, please bear with me."
Chu Ge's expression did not change, and he said lukewarmly: "Thirty-two thousand gold coins." ”
Fionay didn't stop talking as soon as he came up, but looked at the negotiation site slowly, and then began to look at Chu Ge quietly, as if he wanted to see something from him.
With the breathing effect of the cloak and the protection of Neven Moore's heart, Chu Ge was naturally not afraid of the other party's special perception ability, not only did he not hide it, but he also looked directly at Fionai with ** eyes.
If his original appearance was true, he might still make the other party's face blush, and with his current appearance with scars and flesh, doing so would only make the other party feel disgusted - of course he was sincere.
After half a ring, Fionel finally retracted her gaze, and she didn't react any emotions in her heart to her face, but just smiled and asked Chu Ge:
"Thirty-two thousand gold coins, is there no room for concession at this price?"
Chu Ge let out a noncommittal "um" and didn't say more than half a word.
Fionay stroked the ends of her hair, muttered for a few seconds, and said:
"That's a headache...... By the way, have you any idea of what we are preparing for auction this time? ”
"Nope." Chu Ge replied succinctly.
Fionel immediately laughed, and she proposed:
"If we trade with gold coins, it is estimated that we will not be able to meet the requirements of both of us at the same time in any case, so let's just do it in another way."
"There are about fifty minutes before the auction officially starts, if you agree, we will use barter to complete the transaction, if you like any lot, our auction house will pay for it to you, how about it?"
"Of course, there must be restrictions on the selection of auction items on our side, please understand this."
"If you refuse, the deal could be quite long, and it may not even be closed until the end of the auction."
Fiona's strategy is very simple, which is to exchange what I want to get for what you want, so as to smooth out her disadvantage in terms of demand, and even tilt the advantage in her side because of the remaining time limit of the auction item.
If the other party falls in love with a certain auction item, in order to avoid it being auctioned off, he will definitely be anxious and hastily complete the transaction, the only uncertainty is the other party's financial resources, but even if the other party is rich enough to refuse this proposal, then she has nothing to lose, just return to the original point.
"Is this the way to trade...... Sounds great, but I'm going to take a look at what I can pick first! ”
Fionay's proposal aroused Chu Ge's desire, and he was also curious about what treasures would appear in this auction.
"Okay, Mr. Bonnard, go get the most complete list...... Forget it, I'll just take this Excellency to see the real thing. ”
In order to show his sincerity, Fionel directly invited Chu Ge to the auction storage vault, so that the other party could feel the temptation of the treasure up close.
For the purpose of saving time, Fionai directly took Chu Ge to the innermost layer of the treasury, where the top twenty auction items in the collection sequence were collected.
On the way in, Chu Ge could vaguely feel that there was more than one transcendent stationed here, and if anyone dared to behave wrong, he must be prepared to lose his life!
And these treasures are not placed in the same place, each auction item has a separate treasure chest storage, and different treasure chests will be placed in different rooms, and each room has all kinds of security facilities.
"According to the discussion of several senior executives of the Sylvia auction house, you can choose two lots from sequence 20 to 11, or one lot from sequence 10 to 6."
Fionay explained to Chu Ge as she took out the key and prepared to open the door of Lot 20.
Chu Ge asked with a blank face:
"And what about the top five?"
Fionay knew that the other party would definitely ask this question, and she shook her head with a wry smile helplessly:
"Lot 5 has been booked in advance, while Lot 4 will only be traded with certain items and cannot be purchased with gold coins, and it just so happens that our auction house does not have what the customer wants."
"As for the top three, each of them has a reserve price of more than 40,000 gold coins, if you just want to see it with your own eyes, it's fine, as for the transaction...... We're sorry, but we don't dare to determine the final price of the doll easily, so we don't dare to barter them even if you bring out more doll fragments. ”
Chu Ge nodded, through the description of the other party just now, he could probably deduce the rarity of each auction item.
Anything between the twentieth and eleventh should be at the dark gold level, but it is just a relatively common category in dark gold; The area between the 10th and the 6th should also be dark gold, but the value and practicality will be much higher than the previous one; No. 4 and No. 5 should all be quasi-legend level, and the top three are true legends!
There was only a round table in the room of the twentieth, and on the table was a box locked by four iron chains, and when Fionai opened the box, Chu Ge's eyes were immediately attracted by the contents inside, because that item was exactly what he needed right now!
Dark gold wine, the brewing ingredient for intoxicating lonely souls: the blood of a unicorn!
