Chapter 67: The Auction Changes Rapidly
After some tossing, we finally got our honorarium.
It was a metal suitcase of cash, and it hadn't been able to fill it yet.
The two sides are not very happy, as you can imagine, Li Jun, who recommended us to come over, is in their Wang family, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to do.
But we can't control this matter.
Before this, we didn't expect that Uncle Nine would choose to repay his life-saving benefactor by repaying his debts, let alone that he would be so tolerant of the second son who wanted to murder him and then seize the family property, and he couldn't even bear to suffer the prison he deserved.
This does not mean that he is a merciful man, because for those of us who have saved his lives, he wants to use the expiration of our pass to drive us away, so as to avoid the embarrassment of meeting.
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
If such a person were not for the sake of money, we would not care about it at all.
After tearing my face, I took the cash in a suitcase, and Ma Yiao put away the spider and the scorpion, and the two left Uncle Jiu's company, found a hotel near the auction, and waited for the auction to come tomorrow.
Fortunately, the other party was quite interesting, and he didn't go to the police to call the police, and he didn't make any more noise.
In fact, it was very embarrassing for them to spread the news.
I was a little nervous about this matter, after all, after being deceived, there was always some anxiety, but Ma Yiao looked very open, and after analyzing it with me, let me relax and recuperate my body and mind so that I could meet tomorrow's auction.
After all, there are still a lot of variables in this matter, and it may not be smooth sailing.
Through this incident, I had deep doubts about human nature, but Ma Yiao was accustomed to it and said to me: "The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and you can't define it without authorization because of such a thing." ”
After some tossing, the next day, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, we rushed to Kwun Tong Xiu Maoping and came to the XX building.
But I wandered around for a long time, but I couldn't find the so-called basement.
Underground parking is available only.
Ma Yiao and I wandered around the parking lot like headless flies for a long time, and we didn't see anything except three or two warblers.
This situation makes us all have some self-doubt.
One moment we thought it was Huang Mao Weichi who was playing tricks on us, and then we thought that we had heard the wrong address that day.
It wasn't until half past four that luxury cars entered the parking lot one after another, and then drove into a narrow and dark corridor on the left, and disappeared before we realized it.
Over there.
The two of us followed the car inside, and when we were halfway there, someone stopped us in the darkness and said in a deep voice in Cantonese, "Two gentlemen, are you going the wrong way?" This is a private place and no trespassing is allowed. ”
Ma Yiao pulled out the invitation and said, "We are here to participate in the auction." ”
A bright light appeared from the front, shining on the invitation letter in Ma Yiao's hand, and then an Indian boy walked out of the darkness.
He took the invitation, checked it, bowed back, and said, "Come with me." ”
This voice is not the same as the one that warned us before.
As soon as he turned around, the light disappeared, and I felt a discomfort in my retina, and then followed the man in the dark, and after about twenty seconds, I turned a corner and came to a dimly lit cubicle.
The Indian boy handed us two silicone masks and said, "Boss, put this on." ”
We took the mask, looked at it, put it on, and found that mine was a rooster's head, and Ma Yiao's was a funny dog's head.
The face has a rubber band to tie the head, and it is not dull as expected, but very breathable and close to the face.
After putting on the mask, the Indian teenager led us to a lift.
It's different from an elevator, it's driven by an old-fashioned mechanic, and when the iron fence is closed, it squeaks and squeaks down.
At the top of the elevator, it is a dark and small space, but below, the lights are bright, stepping on the smooth marble floor tiles, after walking through the ten-meter corridor, I came to a small hall, where I saw a luxurious and thick cashmere carpet, tall marble sculptures towering next to it, luxurious and elegant.
There were waiters in half-masks, suits and bow ties, and bunny girls who shuttled through them like butterflies, and at the end of the small hall, the door was hidden.
Men in handmade suits and women in luxurious evening dresses kept walking in and out.
On the other side of the door, it was glorious.
The Indian boy saluted us and left, and a masked man wearing only his eyes and nose greeted us, bowed to us, and asked, "Are you two regulars at our Hengfeng underground auction, or are you here for the first time?" ”
Ma Yiao touched the funny dog's face, hesitated, and said, "First time." ”
The masked man said enthusiastically, "Then let me introduce you to the process and rules of the auction, okay?" ”
Ma Yiao nodded and said okay.
The masked man led us to the end of the small hall and said, "Hengfeng Underground Auction is a professional clubhouse with a long history of 35 years, and we have a good reputation and strict security measures, as well as a rich lot of lots, attracting industry people from all over the world to attend. We are here in the entrance hall, walk from the left, there is a lounge area and restaurant, all the services in the lounge area are free, and on the right is a VIP casino, if you like to play cards, you can also go there to play two when the auction is over. ”
"The front is our auction venue, there is a number on the invitation letter in the hands of the two people, you sit down according to the number, the auction starts after a while, the auctioneer will display the lots one after another, and then show the starting price and the minimum bid increase, and finally the process after the transaction is confirmed, I have a small card here, you can refer to it."
"By the way, there is another one, which is capital verification, and we will carry out the capital verification process for all participants in a while, which can be in cash, or check the deposit amount of the designated account, etc......."
After telling us in detail, this man led us to a window for capital verification.
He then led us to a circle of sofas in the auction hall and sat down.
The auction hall is not large, unlike the rigid venue, it is more like an entertainment club, consisting of a circle of circular sofas, when we arrived, we took a look at it, there were almost 80 people participating in the auction, sitting around 20 groups of sofas, and the central stage, there were exhibition and auction tables.
The surrounding lights are dim, and there are lights converging on the auction table, and there is a screen next to it to enlarge the exhibition area, which looks very professional.
As soon as we sat down, a tall and beautiful bunny girl came over and asked if we needed drinks, which were provided free of charge.
After waiting like this, at five o'clock sharp, a thin man with glasses walked up to the stage, knocked on the hammer, and announced the start of the auction.
I looked around and saw that there were just a few more people.
There aren't many people.
The first item to be auctioned was actually a set of talismans from Longquan Mountain.
This set of talismans is the work of the talisman master An Youdao ten years ago, a complete set of eight talismans, breaking the hell spell, the purification spell, the cold court mantra, the incense mantra, the mouth purification mantra, the pure heart mantra, the land mantra, the pure heaven and earth mantra, everything, very comprehensive.
Starting at $10,000 and starting at $2,000, the lot sold for $58,000 after some scrambling.
I was a little frightened, and asked in a low voice, "I always see you use talismans when you have something to do, these things are really expensive?" ”
Ma Yiao told me that he knew a buddy in Longquan Mountain, and these talismans were all painted by that buddy for him for free, and he was not ranked in the Longquan Mountain Fu Sect; As for Master An Youdao, he is a great expert other than the sect master of Longquan Mountain, and ten years ago he was still at his peak, so this thing is just like the Year of the Monkey stamp, in addition to being practical, it is also very collectible......
I listened to him explain to me, and my mind was a little confused.
Later, a few things were auctioned, such as mountain stone jade, durian stone, and flower branches, floating fairy fruits, etc., all of which I had never heard of.
These are very gunner's things, not only have they not been sold at any time, but the prices are several times higher than the auction price.
We had no interest in this, so we began to study the security situation of the venue, and found that although the atmosphere on the surface of the venue was very relaxed, there were strong masters sitting in a few inconspicuous corners.
These people, from the figures standing at will, can feel their strength.
I also sensed that someone was deliberately unleashing the powerful aura of their Nightkin in an apparent attempt to deter any ill-intentioned Xiaoxiao.
Including us.
The auction continued, and there was a small climax in the tenth lot, which was actually a demon refining ball - different from Ma Yiao's one, there were many reliefs on the surface of this demon refining ball, bronze color, which was quite historical.
This thing is said to be hundreds of years old and capable of incorporating a fully awakened Nightkin into it.
As a result, it was so popular that it was sold to a Japanese-speaking client, and the auction price reached $730,000.
When I heard the price come out, Ma Yiao and I looked at each other, gasped, and felt panicked.
This is the first time that the price has been sold for more than $500,000.
Rich people, there are really a lot of handfuls.
The auction continued, and the high prices came out one after another, and when the three snow python beads were taken out, Ma Yiao and I almost stood up.
This thing was introduced very highly, and all kinds of things fell into the sky, but I knew that this thing was the stone that the smiling tiger pulled out of the giant python in the secret realm of domination.
This thing is here, which means that the earth spirit bead will definitely not be able to run.
However, the final auction value of this thing made people's scalps tingle, and the three parties continued to chase it, and finally it was auctioned for the highest price in the whole market.
$1,586,000.
Scared to death.
Ma Yiao and I were a little desperate, and sure enough, when the stone wrapped in dried meat was displayed in high-strength bulletproof glass, and then the auctioneer introduced its origin and suggested that it was suspected to be the legendary "Houtu Spirit Pearl", the whole audience boiled.
And when the auctioneer banged on the hammer, the reserve price went from $200,000 to $1 million in an instant.
And this price only stayed for two seconds, and someone directly called more than two million.
Seeing this auction scene in full swing, Ma Yiao and I looked at each other, and our hearts were full of despair.
