Chapter 192: The Auction (12)
"The following is to introduce to you the fifteenth lot of this auction, a formed dream tree spirit, please take a look. One look at the book ·1k anshu ·
As he spoke, two staff members placed a black crystalline object on the platform next to him, with a size of more than 30 centimeters long shuttle, and the black light that flickered on the surface due to the characteristics of the crystal did not look very comfortable.
"For those of you who don't know much about the Dream Tree Spirit, please note my introduction, the Dream Tree is a magical plant that lives in a swampy environment with abundant dark elements all year round, and its gorgeous appearance is so gorgeous and gorgeous that it is named 'Dreamy'. But don't be deceived by its name, all parts of the Dream Tree are poisonous from seeds to sap, and the wood spirit formed inside it is even more poisonous, but after all, the wood spirit is the core formed by gathering the essence of magic plant life, and its toxicity is relatively stable and therefore has become a rare high-level material in alchemy.
More than ninety percent of the antidote above the excellence level and more than sixty percent of the life system refining mixture all use this ingredient, but due to the difficulty of collecting and forming, the price of the Dream Tree Essence has remained high.
At present, the median price of the alchemy material trading market is fifty gold coins per gram, and the weight of this wood essence here reaches 3,750 grams, but from the perspective of the normal amount of alchemy ingredients, it is not recommended for individual users below the master level to participate in the auction.
At the same time, considering that the price fluctuation of the fantasy tree essence circulating in the market has been stable at a growth rate of half a percent per year, it is recommended that merchants who are engaged in the business of alchemy materials buy and split them for sporadic sales, so that the efficiency of profit is the highest.
Lot 15 has a reserve price of 170,000 gold coins, with a minimum price increase of 1,000 at a time, and can now be viewed on stage, and the official bidding will begin in half an hour. ”
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, no one came forward to inspect the lots, this is the reputation that Xiao Yi has accumulated in the previous auction, whether it is the professionalism of his vision or the fairness and morality of the quotation, he has performed very eye-catching, and naturally won the trust of the guests present. One look book ·1kanshu·
Of course, the fixed procedure still has to be completed, and it will continue after waiting quietly for just five minutes, which has to be said that Xiao Yi knows how to measure very well, if according to the ordinary people's thinking, the teenager will inevitably be conceited, especially after he has gained everyone's trust, it is very likely that he will skip the five-minute stage directly and start bidding.
But if Xiao Yi really did that, in the eyes of the old and sophisticated people, it would be a little arrogant and ignorant of the rules, because this short time and inspection process may not really have much effect on the auction, but it is a kind of respect for the participants' right to know and the authenticity of the demand.
Just like now, even if Xiao Yi's judgment is unanimously agreed by those present, you can't directly skip the conventional rules, because that means that you are domineering and destroying the participants' right to know.
All those who can come to the auction are all old fritters who have been in the business world all year round, and naturally they will not even understand this kind of rules, and naturally they will not put on an impatient posture to express their dissatisfaction because of a small wait, in fact, in addition to this kind of exciting bidding and strong hope for the things of the heart, it is also a good thing to be able to relieve the tense nerves for a while.
But some people don't think so, so when Xiao Yi's voice announcing the start of the bidding just fell, the "250,000" quotation that sounded almost at the same time was extremely abrupt.
The scene was a little strange for a while, not only because the black-robed camp to which the bidder belonged was dressed strangely, but also because they were so impatient, but also because the price they quoted was so absurd.
Because according to the introduction just given by Xiao Yi, the value of this wood essence is 187,500 according to the median price of the current market price, even if you add the retail profit and the reasonable premium of supply and demand from the split sale, it is only close to 200,000.
If it is to store appreciation, it will take 3-4 years to reach this level according to the annual increase of half percent, but the market in the business world is changing rapidly, who can guarantee that it will be able to reach this price at that time, and it accounts for 250,000 liquidity can not be used, three or four years is equivalent to wasting a lot of investment profit opportunities in vain, so no matter how you look at this offer, it is a steady loss.
In this case, there is only one purpose left for the other party to raise the bid, and that is to show the intention of winning and scare off competitors with unrealistically high prices.
Reasonable but not very acceptable, just like a participant who stood up at this time, most people were not satisfied with the price quoted by the man in the black robe.
"Hey, do you understand the rules, you quote such a price as soon as you come up, are you here to deliberately make trouble?"
Yes, there are all kinds of unspoken rules in auctions, and inflating prices is also one of the taboos, even if you have so much money that you deliberately throw it into the water to hear the sound, it is best to increase the price step by step according to the rules during the auction, and then explode at the white-hot stage, which is not only the virtue of keeping a low profile, but also the respect for other bidders.
Of course, President Mullentin of the Purple Lotus Chamber of Commerce just now also did the same thing, but the situation of the first person is a little special, and as one of the top ten chambers of commerce, the powerful foundation also has the right to act with a superior attitude, simply put, what kind of status and strength to do, what kind of style.
Where did this group called the 'Creation Chamber of Commerce' come from, no matter how widely you have traveled here, you have never heard of it, and you, a little-known character, also want to learn from other people's big chambers of commerce to set up music, isn't it a bit too indifferent to other people!
"Rules? Aren't the rules of the auction the one with the highest price to pay? How much do I pay, do you want you to talk more! Who the hell is not following the rules!" The black-robed man covered his face with a hood and couldn't see his expression, but he could still feel his disdain and arrogance at this time just by his tone.
"Okay, good! I, Pajero, have been in the business world for 45 years, although I don't have much achievement, but at least my friends in the business world have given me some face, and today is the first time I've heard someone say that I don't understand the rules! Okay, if you want to talk about the rules, then follow your rules, compare the price, right, I'll pay 300,000!"
Anger often makes very reckless decisions, but for the sake of face is not so incomprehensible, at least everyone present is very supportive of the self-proclaimed Pajero businessman, and many people have said that they can also fund assistance if necessary, and support him and the black-robed man to fight to the end.
Seeing this scene, the black-robed man who had just called for a price snorted coldly and was about to speak, but was stopped by the leader next to him. I saw the black-robed man in the lead slowly stand up, remove the hood from his head to reveal a serious and cold face, and stared at Pajero with bloodshot eyes, and only after a moment did he speak:
"You're smart enough to pretend to be provoked and ready to fight with me all the time, but in reality you're just trying to raise the price and make me suffer.
I have to admit that you are right, we are determined to win this thing, so we will pay any price, but I don't want to pay too much unnecessary loss, so I will not spend it with you endlessly.
I will pay 300,000 and 100,000 gold coins for your offer, and this is also my final offer, so that I will spend 50,000 gold coins more than the original, and you should be satisfied! Of course, if you continue to increase the price, I will immediately give up the bid, maybe then you can comfort your humble pride with a high-sounding victory, but remember what I just said, we can do anything to get this thing.
If it weren't for the fact that you didn't want to cause too much trouble, it was not an unacceptable choice to snatch it from others, the headquarters of your Voyage Chamber of Commerce is in Canghai Country, do you think you can return to your country safely?
By the way, in order to show kindness, I will give you a reference, the famous Saint-level thief 'Slaughterer' Solgaro on the mainland has not heard from him three years ago, as if he has evaporated from the world, and of course he will not appear again in the future.
Because he messed up our business back then, and our owner has never been a good-natured person.
So...... President Pajero, now that I've made an offer, what are your options?!"
