Chapter 197: Auction
On the day of the auction, the ordinary people in Tianlong City closed down, because the major main streets would become the exclusive roads of the powerful forces, and from time to time there would be some nobles and top powerhouses who brought their own spirit pets to the streets.
As for those wealthy businessmen and heroes, they naturally have no worries about this, and the vehicles they travel in are all at the level of climbing high and looking far, and they are luxurious one by one.
The carriage that Ye Feng and the others rode in was also the highest specification configuration of the Bi family, and in the past, only Bi Tianjun could use it when he went out, galloping through Tianlong City, and no one knew it.
Soon, they arrived at the door of the Hongtian Chamber of Commerce.
Today is the auction, and the people gathered outside the gate of the Hongtian Chamber of Commerce are simply mountains and seas, and there is no end to the crowd at a glance.
Fortunately, the people of the Hongtian Chamber of Commerce have been experienced in this kind of grand occasion, and they have specially opened a green channel for the bigwigs who are qualified to enter, and they will also arrange a special lounge for the bigwigs to bring their guards and entourage.
But in the auction hall, it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.
Generally speaking, if you are a wealthy businessman with a little strength, you can still have a place in the hall if you want to go to the auction and find a way, but those who can really enter the private rooms on the second floor are definitely top guests, either rich and powerful.
As soon as Ye Feng and Bi Zheng got off the carriage, they were personally greeted by Fei Yuji, the shopkeeper of the head office, to the entrance of the green channel.
As soon as the two of them passed, they saw Long Aotian, who had arrived first, and Bi Duo, who should not have appeared in Tianlong City.
The strange thing is that Long Xiaoyun did not participate in today's auction, and Bi Chongfang did not appear here.
It's rare to send two juniors to join in the fun.
However, when the two of them saw Ye Feng and Bi Zheng, they immediately strode over, and Long Aotian deliberately mocked loudly as if he wanted to find a place in this overcrowded scene: "Yo! Who should I be? Are the people from the Qin Tang Little Dart Bureau also qualified to participate in the auction?"
"It seems that the evaluation standard of this Hongtian Chamber of Commerce is not as good as a year, and pheasants and ducks dare to let them in, aren't they afraid of disturbing the children of the imperial family!" Bi Duo was sarcastic, his eyes swept the streets in the distance, as if he was expecting someone to come.
Ye Feng glanced at the two of them obliquely, and said coldly: "Say one more word, and I will let you kneel to participate in the auction." β
One sentence suddenly made the two of them close their mouths.
I don't know why, when they hear Murong Bai say this now, they always have a fear that comes from the bottom of their hearts.
I always feel that this thing is ...... Absolutely!
At this time, the little guy in the distance suddenly said loudly: "Prince Rui has arrived!"
Here it comes!
It's coming!
Long Aotian and Bi Duo's eyes lit up, and they didn't care about shouting with Ye Feng at all, and rushed over at a trot.
Ye Feng turned around and looked curiously at the figure who got off the incomparably gorgeous carriage.
The very young prince, who looked the same age as them, had a heroic figure, his sword eyebrows were as thick as black ink, his eyes were like stars, his face was like a knife, he was tough and handsome, his black hair was tied up with a purple and gold crown, his fiery red dragon cloak was like a flame fluttering in the wind, and his body was full of extravagance that no one else could match.
On the side, Bi Zheng lowered his voice and said: "Brother Murong, this Prince Rui is the youngest son of the monarch of the Longteng Empire, he has been canonized as a prince at the age of fourteen, and he has been rewarded with the largest prince's mansion. β
"Prince Rui......"
Ye Feng's eyes moved, as if he remembered that in the information he had collected before, there was indeed such an introduction from a prince.
In Tianlong City, although the name of this prince is quite deserved, and his power is unmatched, but in a way, he can be said to be as famous as Long Aotian, that is, the famous gentleman!
Even if he was canonized as a prince, it was not because of his outstanding military achievements, let alone because he had any contribution to the country, it was purely because he was favored, such a prince did not have any prestige in Tianlong City, and some only had the legend of him in the happy field.
Ye Feng is very disdainful of such a 'big man', and naturally he has no good feelings at all.
Moreover, looking at the dog-legged appearance of Long Aotian and Bi Duo, it is obvious that they have already found him as a backer.
Ye Feng thought about it in his heart, Prince Narui had already led a mighty team, like stars holding the moon, to the entrance of the passage, passing by the representatives of those forces who saluted and flattered him along the way, and he didn't even bother to give a look.
His arrival naturally attracted the attention of Fiji, and he stepped forward with a smile and wanted to personally introduce Prince Rui into the auction hall.
But after taking two steps, Prince Rui stopped again, glanced at Ye Feng and Bi Zheng unintentionally, and said with an arrogant expression: "Shopkeeper Fei, someone who has nothing to do with the auction, why did he appear here?"
The atmosphere was suddenly cold.
Fiyu Ji sneered, and was about to explain, but he heard Prince Rui's slightly mocking tone and said: "Tuji and tile dog, it's better to get out early, so as not to dirty the place and ruin my interest!"
This......
Fei Yuji suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he could only smile and say: "Prince Rui doesn't know, this Mr. Murong is a distinguished guest invited by the Chamber of Commerce this time, and the invitation letter in his hand was personally sent by our big shopkeeper......
Prince Rui snorted coldly and continued to walk forward with a straight face.
Fei Yuji could only smile awkwardly, and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Feng and Bi Zheng: "Come inside, please come in, the place in the private room has been reserved for the two of you, please come with us." β
Ye Feng bowed slightly, and walked towards the Chamber of Commerce with Bi Zheng.
At the gate, they handed in the invitation, got the identity badge that proved that they were eligible for the auction, and then went up to the second floor with the little guy who led the way.
Prince Rui, who went upstairs one step earlier, was naturally arranged in the No. 1 private room, which was the room with the best line of sight, and could see the situation of the entire auction hall most intuitively and clearly, as well as every auction item displayed on the high platform.
As for the private room that Ye Feng and Bi Zheng were assigned to, in room No. 5 on the far right, although it did not have the same honorable treatment as Prince Rui, it was already an exception for a new guest like them, even if it was the Hongtian Chamber of Commerce, it was the first time.
They followed the servant all the way through the passage on the right, passing by a few private rooms with closed doors before they came to the door of private room No. 5.
Bi Zheng pushed open the door and looked at it, and was stunned at the moment.
Luxury!
Even if it is a private room for an auction, Hongtian Chamber of Commerce is definitely full of sincerity, to create an extremely luxurious and luxurious room, the room is decorated with calligraphy and paintings produced by famous artists, coffee table tables, even if it is a flower pot, are finely carved treasures, rare on the market.
After Ye Feng and Bi Zheng took their seats, two beautiful little girls came in with tea and fruit bowls, smiling and smiling, and the movements of pouring tea were specially trained, flowing and beautiful, like a painting.
After the little girl serving the tea went out, Bi Zheng sighed in a low voice: "Brother Ye, if it weren't for your light, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the opportunity to participate in Hongtian's auction in my life, let alone come to the private room on the second floor as a VIP!"
Ye Feng smiled faintly: "In the future, there will be many opportunities like this, and you have to grow up quickly before you can assume the responsibility of the head of the Songlin Branch." β
Bi Zheng nodded vigorously: "Brother Ye, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to live up to your trust in me!"
Having said that, Ye Feng could still see the unintentional apprehension in Bi Zheng's eyes.
This teenager, who was once so timid that he couldn't even protect himself, has grown and transformed in just over a year, which is not easy for him.
Ye Feng smiled and nodded, before getting up and walking to the window.
Ahead, the hall where the auction will be held today.
As far as the eye can see, there are nearly 100 rows in the hall, densely packed like a honeycomb around the circular auction table in the center, plus those standing seats outside the seats, it can accommodate more than 10,000 people to enter.
But even so, it was also the ten thousand people carefully selected by the Hongtian Chamber of Commerce according to the strict hierarchy, and all of them were big forces in the major cities.
Next to Ye Feng's private room, there are about dozens of rooms of the same size, with the No. 1 private room in the center, spreading to both sides, although the height is the same, but the sight effect is very different.
Along the way just now, Ye Feng had already inquired, and the characters in the private rooms next to him were also representatives of the nobles of the family, such as the Shi family, the silk master in the five empires, the Shen family, who dominated the weapons market, and so on.
These characters, in ordinary days, I am afraid that it is difficult to see a single hair of people.
But today, they are gathered together because of this auction, which shows the weight of this auction.
Ye Feng looked around for a while, and he had a measure of the situation of this auction.
The absolute protagonist of today's auction should be the characters in the private room on the second floor, no matter what they are fighting for, there will inevitably be a fierce battle with an undercurrent surging, and there is no gunsmoke.
But for Ye Feng, no matter how awesome these people are, it has nothing to do with him, his goal this time is to practice the three spiritual materials of the Black Demon Sword, no matter what the price is, he must be auctioned off!
At about noon, the tens of thousands of guests who were qualified to enter were all seated, including some of the bigwigs who were very influential in the major empires and could call the wind and rain in the business world.
In this hall of 10,000 people, the long-awaited auction finally officially opened.
"Everyone, be still!" a voice rang out in a deep but powerful voice.
The audience fell silent, and all eyes were on the auction table.
Several red veils like sunset had appeared on the stage at some point, hanging high in a circle, surrounding the high platform.
In the center of the stage, there is a graceful figure, even if she just stands quietly, you can feel the charm and charm exuded from her bones, like a stunner in the world.
Immediately after, there was a flash.
The red veil was suddenly pulled away by the forces from all sides at the same time, and the stage suddenly lost all looming cover, and the graceful figure revealed its true face under the attention of everyone.
The woman hung her head slightly, bowing her blessing, and then raised her eyes to scan the audience.
That pair of eyes are like black crystals soaked in spring water, even if there is no slightest smile, the flowing eye waves seem to be able to hook people's souls, a small cinnabar mole on the side of the red lips is like the finishing touch, revealing the beauty of her face to the extreme, plus a dragon empire's most fashionable long skirt at the moment, fragrant shoulders are half exposed, a large piece of red wraps her wonderful figure, but it does not look vulgar at all, but it is the red that makes her fair skin as smooth as jade, as if it can be broken by blowing, as for the skirt tail dragged on the ground, like a fiery red fox tail, it is even more irresistible to her charmγ
With just one glance, the VIPs in the audience couldn't take their eyes off, and the air vaguely exuded the breath of male magnetic field, as well as the unconscious heavy breathing sound and burning eyes, all of which were the best cheers for this woman.
"Distinguished guests, the little girl Iris, is the host of this year's Hongtian auction, once again on behalf of the Hongtian Chamber of Commerce to welcome you here, but also wish everyone to come here and return with a full load!"
"Good!"
"Iris said it well!"
The cheers rang out one after another.
The VIPs present are all the top bosses in the major forces, what kind of woman has never been seen, but it is such a delicate stunner in front of them, but everyone is reluctant to look away, and even some young people who lack concentration have quietly wiped their saliva.
In the private room on the second floor, Ye Feng stared at the auctioneer named Iris for a long time, as if he vaguely felt that something was wrong with this girl.
Even though she is beautiful, she can't be so seductive with a casual look, I'm afraid it's another way.
However, this Hongtian Chamber of Commerce is the first master of the five empires, and it is not uncommon to hide some treasures like Iris, if this meeting is not presided over by Iris, I am afraid that there will be no such fiery effect.
Downstairs, the auction had begun, and a few of the little guys brought the first auction item to the stage.
Iris walked over slowly, picked up the things on the silver plate, looked forward to all living beings, and smiled like silk: "Next, please let the little girl introduce the first lot of today to all the VIPs......"
Ye Feng looked at the object in her palm.
Be...... Foxtail?
And it seems to be a certain part of the foxtail.
Can this also be auctioned?
Without waiting for Ye Feng to think about it, he heard the seductive voice of the iris sound: "As we all know, a few months ago, the most rare spirit beast in the Tianfeng Continent, the nine-tailed red fox, appeared in the depths of Tianjun Mountain, this fox is extremely cunning, sensitive, and the most difficult to catch, but its tail is infinitely useful, whether it is refining pills or refining weapons, it is the best auxiliary material, Hongtian Chamber of Commerce coincidentally got this tail, and specially took it out as the opening lottery of this auction, and I hope that all the VIPs can give the iris a good color!"
As he spoke, Iris held the fiery red fox tail and lightly imprinted it on his lips.
A fragrant kiss immediately triggered a burst of restlessness in the male magnetic field.
"I'm coming, Iris, I'll give you a thousand crystals!"
Some people can't wait to shout directly.
Ye Feng took a closer look at the fox tail, although it was indeed very precious, it was not complete, and a thousand Xuanjing could indeed be regarded as a smile for the Pomeranian.
In this auction, because the items auctioned are not available on the market, the currency exchanged is also directly defaulted to Xuanjing.
A medium-grade Xuanjing, can be worth a hundred lower grade Xuanjing, if anyone has a high-grade or the best Xuanjing, it will be determined according to the shopkeeper's own eyes.
For example, the black spar that Ye Feng showed to Fiyuji last time was one of the medium-grade Xuanjing.
Downstairs, as soon as Qian Xuanjing shouted out, someone immediately shouted.
"It's only 1,000? You're embarrassed to say it! I'll give 10,000!"
"Ahem, 30,000! Lao Tzu gives 30,000 Xuanjing! Iris girl, you kiss one more, Lao Tzu can add more!"
"Add your sister! I'll give 100,000!"
The sound of bidding came and went, which completely ignited the atmosphere of the scene.
Ye Feng was slightly shocked in his heart, are these big money downstairs not knowledgeable? Even he, who participated in the auction for the first time, could see that the fox tail was mutilated!
On the side, Xiao Bi Zheng walked over at some point, and said with a faint gaze: "Brother Murong, don't you know, according to the customs of previous years, the guests who bid for the first lot will be entertained by the Hongtian Chamber of Commerce, and the host will personally accompany them to drink, and return happy." β
I see......
It seems that the guests downstairs who are the most fierce bidders are all drunkards, and they don't want to drink.
Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The routine of the Hongtian Chamber of Commerce is really at the level of a big guy!
Soon, the price of the first lot was sold from the starting price of 1,000 Xuanjing to more than 500,000 yuan.
But this price is still growing.
The iris on the stage is graceful and graceful, no matter which guest bids, she will smile and salute, but the rippling eyes will always sweep towards the second floor intentionally or unintentionally.
The real protagonist doesn't seem to have the meaning to speak yet.
This year's auction seems to have something else to look at.
Just when Iris's mind was moving, a neat and crisp voice suddenly came from the private room on the second floor.
"A million. β
Million?!
Who? Who spoke?!
In the hall, countless eyes looked upstairs.
In the No. 5 private room, Bi Zheng's eyes were stunned, and he had to look at Ye Feng and said, "Brother Murong...... You...... You also like ......"
Ye Feng shook his head solemnly, but the corners of his eyes were clearly a little cunning and asked, "Little Bi Zheng, do you want to eat with the iris girl?"
"No! not ......"
Bi Zheng almost didn't bite his tongue, and stammered and explained: "The iris girl is quite a famous character in the Hongtian Chamber of Commerce, I ...... I don't have that qualifications......"
"I'm asking if you want to. Ye Feng raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Bi Zheng shook his head like a rattle: "Brother Murong, I ......"
Before they finished speaking, they heard a majestic voice from the private room on the other side.
"Two million!"
This is......
Whew!
His gaze suddenly turned to the other side, and Qi Brush froze on the ...... Private room No. 1!
It's Prince Rui!
On the stage, Iris's eyes moved slightly, as if the two clear springs were stirred by the spring breeze, and there was a clear wave.
She raised her hand to pull a touch of shredded hair from her sideburns behind her ear, and smiled and bowed, "The little woman is very loved." β
Today's auction, if there is a bid from a distinguished guest in the second private room, it will already be regarded as a success of Iris.
But no one thought that the person who would raise the price to the sky would be Prince Rui, who was above 10,000 people under one person!
This is simply shocking everyone's eyes!
On the other side, Ye Feng's black and white eyes moved slightly, touching his chin and smiling evilly, as if he had suddenly discovered something interesting.
Bi Zheng was a little frightened, pulled Ye Feng's sleeve and asked, "Do you want to add more?"
"You try. Ye Feng encouraged.
Bi Zheng nodded, and shouted loudly: "Two hundred...... 500,000!"
Burst!
The hall on the first floor was filled with the sound of tea spraying.
Which one is this singing!
There is still someone on the second floor who dares to argue with the one in the No. 1 private room?!
And what the hell is the meaning of shouting numbers? Isn't that muddy in that person's face?
Upstairs.
After Bi Zheng finished shouting, he secretly swallowed his saliva and looked at Ye Feng: "Brother Murong...... Look, can it work?"
"Okay, why not, you can shout as much as you want, with me!" Ye Feng was very calm, as if even if the sky of Dragon City fell this day, he would not pay attention to it.
The entire auction table, because of the price of 2.5 million, suddenly appeared eerily quiet.
The rich people downstairs are all second- and third-tier forces in the major empires, so naturally they don't have the strength to bargain upwards.
But the big guys sitting in the private room on the second floor, how could they not know who was sitting in the No. 1 private room, and they would definitely not dare to bid easily, which made the person unhappy.
As for who the two hundred and five who called out the two hundred and five just now, it has become a topic of private discussion among everyone.
After waiting for a few seconds, the sound came from the No. 1 private room again.
"Three million. β
Really!
Ye Feng smiled in his heart.
In the private room of Prince Rui, he was accompanied by Long Aotian and Bi Duo, who were afraid that they had already told Prince Rui about Ye Feng's trouble in Tianlong City and the fact that he had coerced the head of the Bi family.
This time, taking the opportunity of the auction, the prince was afraid that he would give Ye Feng a good beating.
It's just that these three million, the opportunity to buy a red fox with a broken tail and an iris girl to accompany the banquet is really an unprecedented sky-high price.
Bi Zheng tugged at the collar of his clothes, looked at Ye Feng cautiously and asked, "Brother Murong, shall we add more?"
"Don't add it, this game is long, play slowly. β
After that, Ye Feng had already turned around and returned to the table, and slowly sipped the tea with the jasper tea cup.
In the hall, Iris gently knocked the red auction hammer, and there was still a charming smile on her mouth, but at the bottom of her heart was as relaxed as if she was relieved.
The next few lots are basically for the rich businessmen in the hall who come to join in the fun, although precious but not rare, the top bosses in the private room on the second floor are not interested, so the process is very fast.
About half an hour later, nearly ten auction items have been auctioned, and the prices have greatly exceeded expectations.
On stage, Iris, after a short break, reappeared.
