Volume 3 The Mercenary Years Chapter 83 Underground Fighting Auction House

When Ling Hai met with the members, he didn't tell them about Zhong Yanan.

Before, Li Dana jokingly warned Ling Hai not to do anything to persuade the young lady to be good, but he didn't expect that after only one night, Ling Hai really let a young lady be good. This kind of thing happened, not only because Ling Hai's character was too pure and sympathetic was easy to overflow, but also because Li Dana's flag planting skills were too superb.

Ling Hai knew very well that if they knew about it, he would be teased all the time, so he chose to hide it in his heart.

After coming out of the bathing center, a group of people exchanged experiences without any scruples, teasing and teasing each other, and when they asked Ling Hai, Ling Hai prevaricated a few words at will.

Under Huaixia's introduction, Ling Hai and the others knew that there would be an underground fighting auction that would be held every other week tonight. Curious about the name of the auction, they decided to spend an extra day in Elysium and go to see what the underground fighting auction was like in the mercenary world.

During the day, at the recommendation of Huaixia, the members of Class 5 walked into a life experience hall where they could fish, and fished for a day very leisurely.

After dinner, the group blended into the crowd and squeezed into the venue of the underground fighting auction.

The interior of the auction is underground, like a giant underground basketball court, with four screens hanging above the bottom booth for the auction audience to view the lots and the fighting matches that follow.

The auction can accommodate more than 30,000 people, and when the entrance was closed, Ling Hai saw that the entire venue was full, and the auction once a week could attract so many people to watch and participate in the auction, which really moved Ling Hai. You know, the audience it faces is not an ordinary crowd, but a reshaped warrior with mercenaries as the main body!

While waiting for the opening, the tour guide Huaixia introduced the process and rules of the underground fighting auction.

The Underground Fighting Auction is divided into two parts, the first part is no different from a regular auction, both of which display rare items, and then the highest bidder wins.

The second part is called the fighting match, and it is closely related to the auction results of the first part.

At the end of the first part of the auction, the organizer will invite the highest bidder and the second highest bidder of each lot to participate in a fighting match.

The second highest bidder is the challenger, and the highest bidder is the challenged. When the second highest bidder chooses to participate in a fighting match, the highest bidder will be able to take the lot [for free] as long as the highest bidder agrees to accept the challenge and wins the match. The second-highest bidder who failed to pay the bid price was paid by the bidder, and the rest of the money was paid by the organizer.

If the second highest bidder wins the competition, the highest bidder loses the lot, and the second highest bidder only needs to pay the amount they have called out to buy the lot, and the rest is still shared by the organizer.

Whoever wins or loses, the owner of the lot gets the highest outcry.

Of course, if a lot is very rare, the highest bidder can choose not to accept the challenge and buy the lot in full for the sale price. But this situation is generally not more than 20%, after all, since you come to participate in the underground fighting auction, you should have the intention of "saving money" or want to watch a fighting match. If you don't want to take on the challenge, you can just go to the normal auction next door, there is no need to come here.

You may ask, no matter what the result of the competition, the organizer has to pay upside down, so is the organizer stupid? Not really.

First, to participate in the auction, you have to pay an admission fee, 30,000 alliance coins per person, and 30,000 spectators is 900 million alliance coins, which can make up for the loss of the organizer, but this money is still a small amount, after all, many lots start with one million.

Secondly, the commission rate for each lot in the underground fighting auction is as high as 20%, and no matter which team wins the match, the organizers will have more than enough to cover the difference.

In the end, the lion's share of the losses is that at least 80% of the lots in the auction are the organizers', and you tell me that the organizers will pay for them? The starting price is set by the organizer itself, as long as someone shouts the price, lose money? Inexistent!

At this time, one may want to ask if there will be the highest bidder and the second highest bidder, working together to trick the organizer and want to spend less money to win the lot.

For example, if a lot is not owned by the organizer, the highest bidder bids 10 million, and the second highest bidder bids 1 million, and then the highest bidder deliberately loses the game, and they only need to spend 1 million to take the lot.

Reality will tell you that this is almost impossible to happen, because the organizers will arrange bidders to minimize the difference. Of course, the organizers' bidders will only do so if they suspect that someone is conspiring to cooperate, and they generally do not take the initiative to break the rules, otherwise underground fighting auctions would not have existed for a hundred years.

If it's really a coincidence, the few times the organizers can afford to lose, after all, the ticket fee is 900 million. As for those lots that shout hundreds of millions, tens of billions, it may make the organizer feel broken, but that kind of lot will definitely go through a rigorous investigation in advance, and the organizer will be fully prepared and will not let himself lose money.

There may also be people who question, what about the highest bidder, the second highest bidder, and the owner of the lot cooperating privately?

For example, the seller and the buyer agree on a 5 million deal in advance, and they take the item to the underground fighting auction for auction. The highest bidder shouted 10 million, and the second highest bidder shouted 5 million, and it happened that the organizer's bidder did not shout, and then the highest bidder deliberately lost the competition, and the lot was sold. The owner of the lot finally got 8 million, of which 3 million was the difference made up by the organizer, and the three of them could equally share the extra 3 million.

It's a good idea, but will the auction of underground martial arts not announce the lot in advance, and the organizer will not auction the lot obtained from a private person immediately, but randomly select one for auction, promising to participate in the auction within half a year. If you do this, it means that you have to stay at every auction, it means that you have to pay the entrance fee all the time, and it means that the probability of you being targeted by the organizers will increase.

Once discovered, the follow-up investigation confirmed that there was a behind-the-scenes transaction between the three parties, and it was still a trivial matter to recover the price difference, and it was possible that the organizer would send someone to hunt down, after all, the organizer could be the world's No. 1 consortium! How is it possible not to raise a few killers!

Of course, for a hundred years, there are still people who want money and don't want to die, with superior intelligence and clever design, and occasionally swindle money from the organizers once or twice, but that money is only a drop in the bucket compared to the money earned at the auction.

It's almost impossible to keep succeeding with the organizers again and again. The first is that the organizer will not let the auction have so many coincidents of losing money, and the second is that each lot will have a team of experts to analyze the range of its transaction price, and if there is an abnormality in the transaction amount, someone will investigate the seller and buyer. As long as the seller and the buyer have communicated, there will be traces, and there is no seamless scam in the world.

In short, there are indeed loopholes in the underground fighting auction, but behind the loopholes are basically the traps of the organizers.

You may make a small profit, but the "banker" never loses.

Countless bloody examples have made those who come to the underground fighting auction honestly follow the rules. After all, if you really have the strength, the rules will be in your favor.
