Chapter 160: Ten Million Dollars
Passing through a passage and entering a flashing wooden door, the layout of the space of several hundred square meters is not much surprising to the regular auction hall, if you have to say the difference, the gray and black decoration, and a huge black curtain on the auction table, add a lot of mystery.
There are less than 300 seats in the auditorium, and more than half of them are seated at the moment.
After Hong Chen and the others sat down on the left side of the back row, the hostess in a sexy bandeau dress sent the lot list, Hong Chen held it in his hand and glanced at it a few times, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
The first group of auction items is a variety of fighting dogs and non-protected active attack beasts, the second group is a fighter, and the third group is a warrior...
"The events before one o'clock in the fighting arena were arranged by the organizers, and the fighters who appeared on the scene looked vicious, and the fights were more intense, but the members who often came understood that it was just a performance, and it was rarely divided into life and death, and the suspicion of behind-the-scenes manipulation was not ruled out.
Luo Song went to the bathroom, Li Chengming saw that Hong Chen was a little stunned, guessing that the latter was the first time to come, so he took the initiative to explain: "After one o'clock, that is the main game, whether it is a human or a beast, the next fight is bought out by individuals, the organizer only charges a venue fee, and the betting bet is also borne by the individual, for example, if you buy a Tibetan mastiff here, you will open the odds of the Tibetan mastiff losing according to the opponent's situation, which is considered one to two, and the whole bet on the Tibetan mastiff to lose the prize money of one million, the Tibetan mastiff wins, one million belongs to you, and the organizer takes away five percent, If the Tibetan mastiff loses, it will lose 1 million according to the ratio. ”
Hong Chen digested it for more than ten seconds, and then nodded clearly, this is equivalent to a person sitting in the bank, a fighting match, even if it is a one-on-one, there are at least two dealers, not the organizer sitting in the bank.
Because the interests of the two bookmakers are like two sides, water and fire are incompatible, either the west wind presses the east wind, or the east wind overwhelms the west wind, so that the possibility of cheating is minimized, and the audience's enthusiasm for betting will be greatly increased.
"The total amount of bets on a general warm-up match, the two sides add up to more than three or four million, and when it comes to the main match, the highest one I have seen, the two sides add up to 100 million three, and the record of this underground fighting arena is 19,000 seven."
Li Chengming glanced at Xue'er, who was sitting on the other side of Hong Chen, and his voice unconsciously lowered: "Shooting a fighter from here is equivalent to signing a master-servant agreement, the servant fights for the master, regardless of life or death, the minimum is guaranteed for ten games, and after ten games, the master-servant agreement will be automatically suspended, which is equivalent to restoring his free body, however, more than fifty percent will be abolished if there are no more than five games, and even burps, no more than one percent can hold on to ten games, even if he is alive, he is half a wasted person, and he sells himself to become a lot, whether it is a man or a beast, to put it bluntly, it is actually a life, It's called the Midnight Auction, which means darkness. ”
Although Li Chengming deliberately whispered, most of them were still heard clearly by Xue'er, her face was a little whiter, her delicate body trembled even more, and her little hand holding the lot seemed to have Parkinson's.
A few minutes later, a female auctioneer walked up to the auction table, about eight heads, wearing a straitjacket, a classical melon seed face, but with sexy lips that only Westerners can have, a high nose, light blue eyes, and brown hair.
"Chen Shao, this woman's name is LISA, her father is Chinese, her mother is Portuguese, or a descendant of nobles, how about letting her drive you back to the hotel tonight?"
Luo Song's laughter came from his side, and Hong Chen understood the meaning in seconds: "I don't have a habit of admiring foreign flattery, there is a beauty by my side, and any more will add to the snake." ”
He said it casually, but Xue'er on the other side tightened her little hand and pinched the corner of her skirt to show wrinkles.
LISA came to an opening remarks that rendered the atmosphere, and soon entered the auction link, the curtain opened, and three iron cages appeared on the stage, including a mighty Tibetan mastiff, a pitbull, and a Caucasus, all of which were among the top ten fierce dogs in the world, with a starting price of 200,000 yuan.
After a while, the Tibetan mastiff was sold for 370,000, the pitbull for 350,000, and the Caucasus for 310,000.
The curtain closes and opens, and there are four more cages, a wolf, a hyena, a lynx, and the honeypot, which is known as the most fearless warrior...
More than a dozen beasts, it took less than twenty minutes to complete the auction, five minutes of rest, and then, it was the turn of the gladiator.
"Which is your brother?" Hong Chen hesitated, but still asked Xue'er, who was already so nervous that he couldn't speak, and pointed to the sixth person on the auction list, who looked like a skinny boy in the photo, but in the introduction, the power of one punch actually reached one hundred and forty pounds.
"Your brother is the most popular, he has been training for three months, he has just turned seventeen and is less than eighteen, he can wear armor against any opponent, and his attack power is very strong, I estimate that it is at least twice as high as the auction price." Yuan Shuang had the tone of a senior person.
Xue'er's heart sank suddenly when she heard this, his brother's starting price was 520,000, which was 1 million, but her entire net worth was less than 600,000, including the eleven credit cards she tried her best to get in March, totaling 220,000.
And the next facts proved that Yuan Shuang's estimate was still too conservative, the first five fighters were either over twenty, or over eighteen, under twenty, but trained for four to six months, and each of them sold a high price of more than one million, which is like the stock market, if the general trend is good, the stocks with poor performance will also rise, and if the performance stocks are good, they will soar.
It was Xue'er's younger brother, codenamed Seventeen, raised his card a few times, and the price rose to 800,000, and then a plaid shirt called out 1 million, and said to the fat man on the side with an excited expression, Wait a minute, let this Seventeen and the fat man's honeypot go head-to-head and fight to the end.
In the end, bloody battle is one of the most exciting fighting modes in the fighting arena, only when man and beast fight, it must be proposed by the human side, either kill the beast or be bitten to death by the beast.
The plaid shirt was so loud that it could be heard throughout the auction room, causing an uproar, and many people were excited to fight each other against each other, or fight to the end, which is not available every week, and the jackpot bets are usually much higher than the fights between fighters!
When she held up more than 600,000 signs before, Xue'er seemed to have been drained of her spirit, and now when she heard the words of the plaid shirt, her spiritual world was like a spider's web, and it would collapse at any time.
"Young master, I only have 580,000, all for you, please, please, as long as you save my brother, I, I promise you everything, I will go with you tonight, I am still, the first time..." Xue'er suddenly grabbed Hong Chen's arm sideways, the two emotions of despair and determination on her face converged, and her hazy teary eyes revealed boundless pain and sadness.
"Hiss..." The corners of Hong Chen's mouth trembled, she gasped, her brows furrowed, Xue'er thought that it had caused Hong Chen's dissatisfaction, and the resoluteness between her eyebrows and eyes instantly collapsed, despair, and covered her entire little face.
"Your nails pinched me." Hong Chen pointed to Xue'er's hand, and Xue'er realized that the hands that grabbed Hongchen's arm were too close, and hurriedly retracted, so he heard Hong Chen sigh: "I'll shoot it first, the difference, the conditions will be discussed separately." ”
Xue'er seemed to be back to the light, her gloomy eyes burst into dazzling light, and she nodded suddenly: "As long as I can save my brother, I will agree to any conditions." ”
Hong Chen didn't say anything more, turned his head to the other side, and whispered a few words to Luo Song, Luo Song winked at Hong Chen, that look is a man who understands, Hong Chen really wanted to give him a preserved egg, and finally endured it!
"One million and three million!" Then, Luo Song called the price, and this was the first time he raised his card tonight.
The plaid shirt frowned, and shouted 1.5 million, Luo Song added it to 1.6 million, and the plaid shirt added...
Seven or eight alternately raised the card, raising it to 2.8 million, this price is already a bit outrageous, the front row of the audience turned their heads one after another, and the surrounding people looked sideways, Luo Song and the plaid shirt seemed to become the focus.
Xue'er is already completely stupid, her brain is a mess, 2.8 million, sell her slices, plus all the organs, it's not worth the price.
The plaid shirt looked unsightly, and he didn't care about the rules of the auction house, so he shouted to Luo Song in the air: "Luo Song, what do you mean, this person is what I fell in love with first, and he deliberately can't get along with me, right?" ”
Luo Song glanced at him and said indifferently: "Jiang Chao, give face, you give up, don't give face, whatever!" ”
"Made, you want to save face, Lao Tzu doesn't want face, I'm going to settle people." Regardless of the image, he burst into a foul language, and the flower lattice raised a sign and called three million.
The two obviously know each other, and neither of them back down, which shows that the identities of the two are not very good.
Then, the two took turns bidding, and soon broke through the six million mark, and the plaid shirt looked at it gloomily: "Luo Song, I'll give you a face, 10 million, you take it." ”
The cards around him add up to more than nine million, and if he continues to call it, if he gives up at the threshold of ten million, it will only make him lose face.
"Jiang Chao, you can't be that you don't have enough money, right?" Luo Song sneered, making Jiang Chao's face ugly, Luo Song immediately nodded again, and said simply: "Since Jiang Dashao gave face, thank you." ”
After speaking, the sign was raised and 10 million were shouted.
That is, more than one million things were done, because of the competition between the big and the young, and finally soared to eight figures!
Hong Chen smiled bitterly and asked Luo Song, "What is the origin of that guy?" ”
Luo Song said disdainfully: "Of the six first-line families in Nanshi, the Jiang family and my Luo family have the deepest grievances, this kid is called Jiang Chao, his son is the second child of the Jiang family, not the head of the family but the first martial artist of the Jiang family, nicknamed Jiang Menshen, was beaten in the ring by my grandmother back then, and almost died." ”
There is still such a feud in the past, the descendants of the two enemies, no wonder it is not right.
Hong Chen didn't comment, just nodded, then glanced at Xue'er weakly, and said, "Your brother is worth tens of millions now, how much is the difference between five hundred and eighty thousand, you can calculate it yourself." ”
Cher was speechless, and could only bury her head in her chest crampedly.
