Chapter 188: The Auction Begins
As soon as the man walked onto the stage, the music stopped, the lights were cast on the man's face, and all eyes were focused on him.
"Good night, ladies and gentlemen! It's time for our weekly consignment auction again! Today we have brought a lot of beautiful items, including the ones that everyone thought of and those who did not think of them. During the auction, the VIPs in the private rooms can use the computers in the rooms to place bids, while the friends in the hall seats can use the bidders on the tables. If, during the bidding process, you want to barter on an item, you can use the auctioneer's voice system to propose the item you intend to barter and the value you have set for the item, and we will transmit your voice to the owner of the item, who will confirm whether to accept it. ”
"Well, speaking of which, I can't wait! So, let's move on to today's auction! ”
As the man's words fell, a huge projection suddenly appeared on the stage, on which was the first item of the day: a painting.
"Dear friends, our first lot is from a very famous collector in our city of D! That's right, what he is selling on consignment is exactly what everyone sees in front of you, the drunkard spring outing picture created by Mr. Qi Baishi himself! This painting, both from an allegorical and aesthetic point of view, is of great value and is an excellent choice for ladies and gentlemen to decorate their houses! The starting price of this product is 1000 merit points, and each increase must not be less than 100 merit points. The auction is now open! ”
With a hammer fall, the lights of the bidder in Han Bai's house lit up, announcing that the auction had officially begun.
"I'll go, Qi Baishi's paintings, even this kind of thing is for sale! In the past, it would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to be able to buy it, right? Wu Hao shouted, with an excited expression on his face.
"The price is still so low, Eminem, the competition will be fierce later!" Chen Xiaoyan said. As he sucked the milk from his glass, he made a strange and cute sound.
However, Yang Wei shook her head and said, "I don't think so. If the organizer puts such a product first. It might be cold. ”
"Why?" Chen Xiaoyan said strangely.
"Look at it." Yang Wei smiled, but didn't explain too much.
Sure enough, the situation on the field was as Yang Wei expected, and within nearly ten seconds of the official announcement of the auction for this painting, no one began to bid!
In a few seconds, this item will be unsold. The sound of bidding finally sounded on the big screen.
"Didi, guest C27 participates in the auction, bid: 1100 merit points."
Just after this bidding, someone soon followed:
"Didi, guest B11 participates in the auction, bid: 1200 merit points."
After that, the auction for the painting was in a half-dead state, and it was often after a few seconds before one person came forward to raise the price of the previous one a little higher, and that's it. After bidding more than a dozen times in a row, the bidding price is still within 3,000 merit points. In the end, this painting of Qi Baishi was finally auctioned off by the guest of B11 for 2,800 merit points.
"Ah, it's so boring, such a treasure was actually taken away like this, I knew that I would also take a few hands to take a look!"
Chen Xiaoyan pursed her lips while drinking milk and said a little unconvinced.
Yang Wei smiled a little smugly and said, "Actually, it's nothing. In today's society, it's a surprise to me that this product can be sold, after all, it's more than just ornamental. Nothing else. If you have merit points in your hand, you might as well keep them and wait to see if there's anything worth shooting below. ”
"Well, what Sister Wei said makes a lot of sense." Han Bai smiled and said.
Here's what's next. It's basically more everyday. For example, a house built in the central area, due to the profligacy of the owner of the house declared bankruptcy, the house was also taken away for auction, the reserve price was only 8,000 merit points, and finally the person sitting in the private room of A03 took it away for 67,000 merit points. It is a full third lower than the average price of houses on the market, and it is still very affordable in the end.
Next, some daily necessities, such as refrigerators, high-end facial cleansers, brand-name leather clothes, air conditioners and other things, were put up for auction one by one. Although these things are of little practical use, it is not easy to get them, after all, there are no such things in the East District itself, if you want to get them, you must leave the East District to go out to explore, and this process will have the possibility of being eaten or bitten by zombies, so there are not many people who dare to take risks and go out to try their luck, and there are naturally fewer items circulating in the entire East District, so there are still people who will need them in the auction, but the price is not much high, hovering between one thousand and five thousand merit points.
Han Bai and the others had been waiting for a long time and had not seen their things taken out for auction, and they were a little anxious to wait. During this process, several women in the team saw some favorite things several times, such as imported cosmetics and extremely beautifully made high-end dresses that had never been used before, but because they didn't have any merit points in their hands, they could only watch them being patted away by others, and they were so anxious that they scratched their hearts.
Just when they all thought that the store had forgotten their things, the owner of the auction finally came out again and said:
"Aha, everyone! Next up is the last item of this week's auction! I hope you will listen patiently and watch well, and don't get a little distracted in the process! ”
The host laughed twice, then clapped his hands and motioned for the staff at the back of the stage to bring something over. Hearing the command, the nightclub staff immediately walked to the stage with a sack and left it on the ground. At the same time, the camera on the stage immediately pointed at the sack and projected onto the giant screen of the stage. Through the giant screen, everyone can clearly see that there are still things in the sack that are constantly moving!
The moving sack elicited a big reaction from the audience, and the crowd began to stir.
At this time, the host smiled and motioned to the staff: "Untie the bag!" ”
As soon as the words fell, four or five men came up from the outfield again, each of them was more than one meter seven tall, and they were covered in tendon meat, which was the security guard specially hired by this store! (To be continued.) )
