Chapter 627: The Disappearing Auction Item
In the car, Cheng Lin said without a trace of emotion.
On the Internet before, although encryption software was used, for the sake of caution, the communication was not too detailed, and Cheng Lin only knew a general thing.
Now it is natural to understand.
"Yes."
Zhang Hou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, sitting in the car, he couldn't help but think of the night in Chang'an City, so he was even more nervous.
Soon, he recounted what had happened.
The matter is very simple, the clue this time is indeed about He Jian, but it did not appear in the territory of Qin Province.
It comes from Zhang Hou's connections.
Although it is said that China has made great efforts to crack down on the resale of cultivation materials, just as no country can completely eradicate crime, some underground transactions have always existed.
This time, someone took the lead and planned to sell a batch of "dirty things" in Shashi, all of which were related to cultivation, and as for the buyers, they naturally targeted wealthy businessmen from all over the world.
Although Zhang Hou is not a wealthy man, he is also among the invitees, and of course, the more important point is that he is also privately cultivating cultivators.
Most of the rich people invited were like this.
Before coming to Shashi, he got a list of items in advance, and found a trace of suspected He Jian in it, so he hurriedly posted a post, but did not receive a response for five consecutive days.
Fortunately, before the transaction took place, Cheng Lin came over.
……
"When does the transaction start?" After listening to the experience, Cheng Lin asked.
"I'm not sure, just in these two days, or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, the location will also be notified at short notice."
Zhang Hou replied cautiously.
"Yes." Cheng Lin responded, this is not surprising, caution should be, "Do you know the specific transaction process?" ”
Zhang Hou thought for a while and said, "It should be an auction, bidding on the spot, and then making a payment transaction and picking up the goods directly." ”
Auction? Cheng Lin's face changed imperceptibly.
Zhang Hou tentatively wanted to look at his boss's face, but found that his eyes could only witness a fog, and in desperation, he asked cautiously: "Otherwise, I will buy the others with funds?" ”
Cheng Lin chuckled when he heard this: "Oh? ”
"That's when I contribute to the organization," Zhang Hou said with a little flattery, paused, and added, "I look at the description on the list, this sword only belongs to ordinary goods, according to the market price, within 10 million, it will definitely be able to be won, or even lower." ”
Ten million is an astronomical number for ordinary people, and it can be regarded as a bit painful for Zhang Hou, but in comparison, he is still very willing.
Cheng Lin smiled when he heard this, and said lightly: "It depends on the situation, when the auction starts, I will go with you, if there is any expense, the organization will not let you bear it." ”
Cheng Lin said this sentence with great confidence, after so many explorations, his financial resources are not bad, although most of them are not cash, but whether it is hard currency such as spirit ore, or valuable items such as storage devices, he has saved a lot.
I believe that in any trading market, you can offset the money.
Of course...... If you can not give money, so much the better...... Anyway, it's all an underground transaction, and it's a group of people doing illegal things, and Cheng Lin doesn't plan to follow any rules...... Compared with spending money, it may be simpler and rude to grab directly......
But he certainly can't say these thoughts directly.
After a brief conversation, Cheng Lin separated from Zhang Hou, thought about it, went to find a hotel and opened a room, and didn't say anything all night.
……
The next day, after Cheng Lin disguised himself, he swept a wave of various stores in Shashi, purchased some household appliances, bedding and the like, and used cash transactions, without using his own account, using black money in the spiritual world.
After working for most of the day, I finally purchased all the basic purchases, handed them over to Nuwa, Ai Lu and the elves to place them in the spiritual villa, and turned on the electricity, and now the whole house is finally complete, as for the ingredients, it is mainly to purchase a large number of spices, if you cook, there are a lot of vegetables and meat in the elf world, and even the meal is solved.
After the busy work was over, Cheng Lin went to the scenic spot in Shashi to buy tickets and go around, and asked for a few invoices, which was a reasonable excuse for himself to stay in Shashi.
But he's not too afraid of these things now.
In the evening, when he was snoring and eating at a rice noodle shop near the scenic spot, a message popped up on the spare mobile phone, it was Zhang Hou.
There are only four words: "Trade tonight." ”
……
……
Sitting in the passenger seat again, it was already dark.
In the dim car, the dashboard was full of flowers, the interior lights were dim, Zhang Hou drove nervously, and sometimes glanced at the "president", but saw that the other party seemed to be quite relaxed and pretending to sleep.
Cheng Lin is indeed very relaxed, with his current cultivation, there is no need to be nervous when entering this level of trading, in contrast, it is the organizer who should be nervous.
About 20 minutes later, the car stopped near a busy shopping street in the city, and then the two got out of the car, and after waiting for a while, they saw another car parked in front of them.
The window rolled open, and a thin middle-aged man nodded slightly: "Boss Zhang, get in the car." ”
Obviously, this is the person from the organizer, Cheng Lin secretly glanced at it and found that it was an ordinary person.
"Okay." Zhang Hou had long since lost his previous nervousness at this moment, and nodded calmly and confidently.
"This is ......," the middle-aged man looked at Cheng Lin who was wearing a mask and a cap.
Zhang Hou calmly explained: "Bodyguard. ”
The middle-aged man sighed, didn't continue to ask, and didn't have to verify his identity or anything like that.
Because of this kind of gathering, almost everyone who comes to the buyer will bring a bodyguard, and this so-called "bodyguard" must be a practitioner, and it is normal to cover up his face.
He just glanced at it curiously, vaguely feeling that it was not very harmonious, but he couldn't say it.
In front of outsiders, Cheng Lin deliberately restrained his breath, making himself look dull and cold, and tried to play the role of a loyal bodyguard, walking slowly.
I got into the car, went around in circles, and after about forty minutes, the car drove into a club-like venue.
This is still in the city, not in the wilderness, Cheng Lin thought about it a little and understood.
First, the wilderness will make buyers feel insecure, and second, there are many people in the city, but it is also the best cover, once something happens, it is easier to leave if you stick into the crowd.
"Please follow me."
Coming out of the parking lot, the middle-aged man led them into the building with a smile, and then followed the stairs to the outside of a certain house.
"This is your box, and I'll serve you alone." The middle-aged man laughed.
Cheng Lin glanced at it, this box was posted with a 105 sign, not the house number, it should be the so-called box number.
"Am I alone? What about the others? Zhang Hou frowned and asked.
"Yes, each buyer has a separate box, and the auction room is also in a separate room, connected to each other via video, which is also to ensure the privacy and security of the guests."
Zhang Hou nodded and walked in with Cheng Lin.
The room was very good, the two of them divided the priorities, sat on the sofa, and saw a screen on the wall, which had been lit.
In the screen is a circular room with a table, where an "auctioneer" in a dress is resting.
On the table there is a small instrument that can enter numbers, apparently a bidder.
"What do you want to drink?" The middle-aged man asked politely, Zhang Hou ordered it casually, sent the other party away, and when the door closed, he asked with an unchanged expression, "Is it safe here?" ”
There is no need to hide this, he said it directly.
Cheng Lin said in a disguised voice: "Someone is snooping." ”
He clearly felt this, after advancing to the sixth grade, his perception was more delicate, if it was in the face of people above the same level peeping, he might not notice it, but if it was lower than him, it would be easy to have a "sense of being spied on".
"Yes." Zhang Hou nodded, didn't say anything, and continued to maintain the appearance of the boss.
After another half an hour, finally, the auctioneer on the screen stood up, came to the camera, bowed slightly, and smiled:
"Thank you for coming today, I am the host of this auction, well, I think you are already impatient, then I won't be too long-winded, this auction will start immediately, now let's see the first auction item."
The process is unexpectedly not cumbersome, straight to the point, too, no one wants to delay time in this kind of thing, everyone wants to finish the transaction quickly, and then leave.
When the auction began, Cheng Lin also set his sights on it.
"The first item is a superpsy reagent, heh, everyone must have heard of this, this is a high-level cultivation item produced in-house by Trisi, and the concentration of this potion is worth ......"
The auctioneer introduced the syringe-shaped reagent on the tray eloquently, and Cheng Lin's demeanor changed slightly.
He is naturally no stranger to this, and when he was promoted to the fifth grade, he obtained some, and the effect was indeed excellent.
Previously, in order to obtain the reagents, he also took the initiative to take the task of escorting the cargo ship.
As a result, he was attacked by Bernard......
"Okay, you should have a good understanding of its effect, the starting price, 10 million yuan." On the screen, the auctioneer smiles and announces the starting bid.
10 million ......
Zhang Hou's expression changed, a little moved, expensive is really expensive, but it is also worth it, the organizer will take this as the first auction item, quite a bit to raise his value.
After all, this thing is not only of high value, but also a hint of the organizer's means.
However, soon, the quotations from each box rose to 20 million, and slowly approached 30 million, Zhang Hou hesitated, but still sighed.
Cheng Lin didn't react, he still had a strong need for this before, but now, the spirit world has been greatly upgraded, and he has achieved self-circulation, and his aura is stable, and it is more than enough to support him for his own cultivation, that is to say, his demand for such items is already very low in the future.
In the end, the tube was bought for a high price of 30.1 million.
The start was good, and the smile on the auctioneer's face was a little brighter.
The second item is a spirit plant, and the effect is somewhat special, which is to enhance certain abilities.
This kind of spirit plant has always been sold very well and has a very good market, and the effect of this plant is exceptionally good.
As a result, it attracted a crazy rush from various wealthy people, and the final transaction price was as high as 50 million.
Slowly...... There were more and more items in the auction, and Zhang Hou couldn't hold back, so he bought a psionic protective gear, which should have been bought for his younger brother.
The wind was calm, and everything seemed to be going well, but Cheng Lin's brows were slowly furrowed.
Most of the auction has passed, but for some reason, there is no trace of He Jian.
