Chapter Twenty-Three - The Best Horse of Twenty Years
"Why doesn't the auction even have a list of bidding items? So how do you know what's good? "The ring spirit has long said to Ao Zongheng, I want to see the auction, for her complaints, Ao Zongheng can only ignore it casually, what you say has a certain truth, but who is to reason with this matter.
However, the old man next to him seemed to see the doubts in his heart and solved his doubts again. The practice of the Dowen County Horse Market Auction is to auction 50 foals a day, and those who wish to participate in the auction can simply register with the market manager on a first-come, first-served basis. As for the order of play, this really doesn't pay attention to it, as long as you have registered, who will fall in love. After all, for market managers, the auction is only a part of the horse market, or even an entertainment program for wealthy buyers, and there is really no need to concentrate all the good goods on a specific time slot.
This talkative old man, who calls himself Tsu Ze Desi, is a full-time middleman of high-priced foals, in fact, he specializes in buying relatively low-priced good horses from all over the world, and then reselling them to nobles who want to buy horses but have no convenient door. For example, in Buradora and those areas in the central and southern parts of the southern continent that do not produce horses, the same horse can be sold there, and after deducting the increased transportation costs, it can also earn almost twice as much.
He doesn't mind telling others about this way, because he has his own way, and others want to do it, not to mention whether to find a buyer who can receive the goods, that is, pull these good horses over the mountain and the road, and the risk on the road is not small, even if he can't encounter big trouble, the profit and loss are still unknown.
Arrogant is barely a horse watcher, but it's only a Middle Earth horse, and he has seen less than a dozen horses in the Pleoz world, so he is not in a hurry to make a move.
The first ten foals quickly fell under the hammer, and each of them cost an average of five or six mouths, which was not very intense. The highest hammer price was for an all-gray four-year-old Shador, which sold for 300 Loren guilders, about five or six times that of an ordinary horse.
It was the robed bearded man who took down the all-gray Xia Duo horse, but except for this horse, the other nine horses they didn't even raise their cards once, and it seemed that they just saw it before they made a move.
"I said how come the auction horses here don't have pedigrees, horses without pedigrees are worthless. The Ringwraith muttered suddenly.
"Pedigree table?" For the Middle-earth people who only pay attention to horses, it is difficult for Ao Zongheng to understand what the pedigree table is, "Horses also talk about bloodlines? Isn't it more accurate to look at horses?"
"Alas, it's terrible to be uneducated, I won't tell you, and you won't understand it", the ring spirit left another damaging sentence.
"I don't understand why you're doing this, you don't know how to ride a horse, let alone ride. ”
"You don't know if you read a lot, but some fun things are most likely to happen in this kind of auction", the ring spirit has a quick mouth, and she can hit back at you immediately no matter what you say.
I don't read much? I don't think I read much, I only read history, and the other books don't have much to see. Arrogant found himself unable to refute it.
Over there, five more horses were auctioned in the blink of an eye, and a three-year-old black and gray Shadori horse with special markings was sold for two hundred and sixty loren guilders.
"I don't think your horse is as good as the gray one in front of me, is it worth spending two hundred and sixty guilders?"
"Hehe, you're right, but it's not cheap for someone else to pay two hundred guilders for this horse, and even if I take three hundred guilders, I will make a lot of money, and this horse is in my hands, and it is possible to sell it for a thousand guilders." ”
Ao Zongheng smiled, and when he continued, sure enough, he changed his tone and continued to explain.
"If this horse is a noble riding horse, it can only be considered medium, but it is better than the rarity of the suit, it is the most authentic mire Xia Duo, this color is precious, the parents must be both mire Xia Duo to give birth, even if one of the parents is a other color of the mire Xia Duo, born will also run the flower color. You shouldn't know that this quagmire Xia Duo is the earliest flower color cultivated by the first generation of Xia Duo Gong Yu, also known as the ancestor color. This suit itself is rare, and I know a great nobleman who likes to collect all kinds of Shadori horses, and he is now one mire Shaduo is now close to collecting all the suits and colors of Shaduo horses in the world, do you think this horse can be sold for a high price in his place?"
"You see, you see, you see the importance of bloodlines, it's just that most people don't pay attention to it. The Ring Spirit interjected on the side, but naturally he couldn't hear it.
In this way, the auction of thirty horses was over, and Ao Zongheng had not yet raised his cards, and even Que Zedexi was a little curious, and asked: "Why have you not bid, and none of the thirty horses are to your liking?"
How did he know that there is an old saying in Middle-earth called "good things sink to the bottom", which means that usually the best things are the finale, of course, this is not Middle-earth, but Aoheng does not plan to do business, if he makes an early move, what will he do if he regrets it later? In fact, he has a more loser idea in his heart - in case the goods in the back are not as good as the front, I will pay double the price to buy what others bid in front of me. Who made me rich now?
Soon ten more foals were auctioned, and among the forty foals, the most were sold at more than 20 prices, more than 500 Loren guilders were sold, and the others were not more than 10 at the hammer, and the pace was quite fast. But to Ao's surprise, one-third of the forty foals were auctioned by the robed beard, and unless he did not bid, as long as he did not let go, he was bound to win.
Like the golden big Goshi horse that was sold for more than 500 guilders just now, the reserve price is 150 Lauren guilders, and every 10 guilders is called, at the beginning there are four families fighting, two of which are also big buyers who have won in front, and when they called 400 Lorren guilders, they were about to take it, and the robed beard suddenly made a direct call for 450, and the scene was in an uproar, and the opposite one was estimated to be a great love, gritted his teeth and mentioned 460 guilders, and as a result, the bearded man raised 50 and called 510 guilders. Everyone else is stupid, this product is horizontal and stunned, and it doesn't act according to the laws of the market at all, so it can't be filmed.
However, he expressed his emotional stability about the behavior of this goods, and he saw that he was also curious about this person, so he said: "This person has always been like this, and he won twenty horses alone at this year's Kelin Duan Horse Market Auction. ”
Dare to love this is also a well-known buyer in the industry.
As Ao Zongheng expected, they are all foreigners, from the neighboring Kaikaisha alliance in the southeast of the Loren Magaga Kingdom, and the bearded man at the head is the eldest son of the current alliance lord, which is equivalent to the prince of a country, but they are not called princes, they are called big bangge.
Today's alliance lord is a well-known horse lover, this big brother also has the same hobbies as his father, but the water and soil of the alliance do not produce horses, so the big brother has always run to the surrounding equestrian countries over the years, helping himself and helping his father buy horses, especially the two major horse markets in Loren Magaga, he has never had a good time, if he is free, he will come by himself, and if he is not free, he will send his henchmen, plus the horse market in Dowen County is run in turn, so although he is famous, there are not too many people who recognize him, that is, the horse dealer who travels south and north like Lu Zedexi, only knows his identity.
The Kaikaisha alliance is not a rich country, but no matter how bad it is, it is also a country, and the land area is much larger than that of the Loren Magaga Kingdom, and the wallet in the pocket of this big bang brother is naturally far beyond the ordinary nobles, even if there are some particularly rich and horse-loving nobles, it is very rare to go to the horse market to bid on the spot - otherwise the business of the horse market will not be able to do it, so these years the big bang brother can be said to be the biggest player in the major horse market auctions, as long as he bids for something, no one has ever competed.
As he spoke, the next horse had already pulled up, and as soon as this horse appeared, it caused a whispered commotion among the people in the audience, but he glanced at the rider who had been sitting in the witness seat, and his face flashed with a touch of triumph, and then he returned to flatness, presumably this horse had something to do with him.
Sure enough, he said, "Next is today's No. 46 foal, a three-year-old pure white pure-blooded Chardon from the Chador's ranch. This horse is one of the highest-rated foals in recent years, with a reserve price of 400 Loren guilders and 20 Loren guilders per mouth. ”
On the side, he couldn't help but pat his pat excitedly, and said to himself: "I heard that the Xiaduo family ranch produced two top foals three years ago, and one of them was booked by the king a long time ago, but I didn't expect them to take out the other one to bid" Before he finished speaking, he saw that his expression changed from excitement to annoyance, "Alas, today there is Pochai Nai Dabang Brother here, who has won him." ”
Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Heh, maybe people just knew that Brother Dabang was going to come in person, so they decided to bid on this horse." ”
"Although you don't like to read and are stupid, you may have told the truth this time", the ring spirit suddenly interjected.
Of course, the truth of the matter is best known only to the rider on the witness stage.
Three years ago, the two horses of the same father of the Xia Duo family gave birth to two foals, these two foals are a batch of pure white, one is the gray Xia Duo flower is also the same father horse, this is one of the breeding theory experiments studied by Xia Duo Gong Yu in recent years, but the result made the old Xia Duo very surprised, at that time he predicted that these two horses will become the best Xia Duo horses in the past 20 years, and even become the future of the big breeding horses, with the Xia Duo Gong Yu hundred years of signboard, make such an evaluation, no one will doubt Xia Duo's judgment. So the fame of these two foals spread throughout Loren Magaga and even abroad in just one month.
Then, the trouble of the Xia Duo family came.
