Section 2: People like the young master (I
"VIP, that's a high-level proof of funds," Botanical Beauty NV quickly lowered his upper body and explained to Townsend: "Because your + passion bid is too high, in order to prevent malicious bidding from causing the rarity to be auctioned, you must convince the auction organizer that you have the ability to pay." ”
"So you remembered my bottom line!" Townsend pouted: "Mei NV, I want to speak, do you have a way?"
Of course, there is a way to do it, because she specializes in this, so as soon as Townsend finished speaking, she moved a pot of broad-leaved plants, pointed to one of the leaves curled into a trumpet-like shape and said, "VIP, you can speak through this, for free." ”
Townsend thought for a moment before leaning forward.
There wasn't enough time, so I didn't pretend to be a monster, and after two dry coughs, the clear voice immediately echoed in the huge auction hall.
"Everyone, good luck. ”
"The club is second to none, both in terms of popularity and credibility, and I have no intention of fighting it. But when we do business, we are talking about equal treatment and fairness. Townsend made a very formulaic statement: "The club thinks I'm weak, it's no problem, but the club alone asked me to supplement the senior credit record, and I didn't agree - I do business with real money, not swagger, why only test me?!"
"Ninety-three, uh, this gentleman," the host's face was a little unbearable: "Please understand, merchants other than the fifty, bidding more than 10 million must do this......"
"Please understand, my reputation is not high, but 10 million will definitely not be able to buy it. Townsend's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and resounded through the auction hall: "Otherwise, everyone participating in the bidding will verify the capital together, or else, please excuse yourself." ”
The club wants to check the net worth, which is equivalent to the bottom of Townsend, and he will definitely not agree.
The host was stunned on the spot.
The people in the audience did not make any more noise, because the persistence and will of Townsend's words did not belong to the merchant's thinking at all—if the other party's bid was right, the merchant could sell anything.
Townsend's toughness, Townsend's words, must have offended many people, especially the other two wealthy merchants who participated in the bidding, the origins and details of these two, and at least thirty people in the auction hall knew about them. Jakarta immediately sent someone to send a note to tell Townsend some of the information he knew.
So Townsend knew that the man sitting in Villa Sixteen was more or less a businessman and liked to do strange business, but the one in Villa Nine was the unscrupulous majority shareholder of the club, and he was very high-ranked.
The Pan West Coast Club, which has long been more than a mere business organization, and some of its shareholders are the actual owners of it - you actually asked these two to accept the capital verification with you?
You can't afford to lose the face of capital verification, can others afford to lose it?
Challenging such a huge force, no matter what kind of evil No. 93 is, he must be mentally prepared to be beaten back to his original form - the reason is very simple, everyone can understand it, but why doesn't No. 93 understand?
Did he really come here to stir up trouble?
In fact, how could Townsend not understand this truth? But he really didn't have any cash in his hands, and once the capital was verified, he would not only be laughed at in public, but also kicked out of the auction house!
If this happens, it will be difficult for the Thorn Rose brand to be played in the future.
Frankly, this was a big problem, and Townsend didn't have any good ideas to solve it, so he used the very simple method of pulling all the bidders into the water.
Aren't they prestigious? Then help me solve this problem.
Townsend's righteous insistence was nothing more than a high hat for the other party. Surely you don't want to verify the capital, right? Then hurry up and accept this big gift, and think of a trick for Xiǎo Ye to pass the test!
"The more you really go back. Indifferent to the contempt and anger of others, Townsend only lamented in his heart: "What kind of bullshit is this?
"This is a message from Mr. Sixteen," the host read out with a piece of paper: "He said that since Mr. Nine is here, he doesn't have to worry about how to deal with this matter, and everything is up to Mr. Nine." Mr. Nine, what ...... your decision?"
"Young Master?" In Villa No. 9, Mr. Scarface thought that the young master would say something, but the young master didn't say anything, and he didn't show a little different emotions about the "plaything" he chose.
In this case, Mr. Scarface decided to deal with it with a normal heart, after all, the young master was very interested in the pride wristband.
"At present, there are only three bidders, and we propose to open a special sale on this lot, and the reserve price will be done according to the old rules. Mr. Scarface's voice was dull: "Other interested businesses, you might as well come and have fun together, there are more people, it will be lively." ”
The xiǎo special session at the auction is not the xiǎo business on the periphery.
The scale of this bidding method is very xiǎo, and it is specially used to solve special situations where the competition has reached a fever pitch, and even the feeling is almost broken. The people who participate in the competition face each other, not so much as fighting, but rather bargaining, or an alternative jiāo with a bargaining element.
Because there is zero distance between each other, it is possible to talk about conditions, and it is also okay to talk about "feelings".
Another special feature of the ǎo special session is the ultra-high reserve price, which is at least twice the current maximum bid. However, it makes sense that if a few people buy the lot at a high price and then distribute it separately. If you don't give more money, others will definitely not be convinced.
Of course, this kind of face-to-face xiǎo circle bidding, capital verification means or something is exempted. Either cash or equivalent collateral is cashed out, and it is entirely cash-out, without going through the hands of anyone else - in the current situation, this is the only way to free Townsend from his embarrassment.
Townsend was a newcomer, and he definitely didn't know the reserve price rules of the xiǎo special session, so when he heard the reserve price of 20 million, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart--20 million! This is 20 million! Even if he has the means to make money by refining precious metals, this amount exceeds the bottom line in his heart!
If he was ruthless and swollen in the face, Townsend could pretend to be a fat man, but he was reluctant to use this price to buy a luxury wristband. Yes, he likes to enjoy and has nothing to do with hardship and simplicity, but he doesn't want to be the one who is wronged -- more than 20 million, is it worth it?
In the end, Townsend still happily accepted Mr. Nine's suggestion, because it is easier to fool a few people than to fool a full audience, even if we can't fool them, can't we end up if we don't buy them in the end?
For the sake of Thorn Rose, it is not a bad thing to know two more big merchants.
With a reserve price of 20 million, few people can afford to play. Of course, the villas near the Nine have this strength, but their love for the Pride Wristband is not so deep. So in the end, except for Sixteen and Townsend, no one else wanted to join.
Townsend soon arrives at Villa Nine and meets the other two bidders.
There was only one person on the other side of Villa 16, a tall and thin middle-aged man, his whole body was wrapped in a leather bright red sè, and he had a long máo velvet bowler hat buttoned on his head, and only a pair of thin eyes appeared, as if he had a bad cold.
But number nine...... Frankly, it's a bit inappropriate to call him "Nine" now, at least not Townsend.
A simple number cannot be used to refer to a young man with temperament and momentum, even if it is a competitor. Townsend couldn't guess his age exactly, but roughly estimated that he was in his twenties, because his skin and face looked very young, but his steady demeanor and calm expression were not characteristics that could be possessed at this age.
This guy sat in front of Townsend, he had long ice blue hair and double eyes, a white face, and a natural demeanor.
His body was slightly slanted, he was playing with a pendant in his hand, and his eyes lingered on the murals on the wall.
Subtle, elegant, and cold, these are probably the impressions that ordinary people have of him. If Huaichun's nvxing observes him, it's okay to add a cute person.
But Townsend is not an ordinary person, his eyes are sharp and can quickly see through the essence of the other party.
At first glance, Townsend knew that this guy was a high-ranking yamani. Because he has many characteristics similar to himself, and after the second glance, Townsend found that there are many things in this person that he does not have, and the biggest difference is that this brother is extremely egoistic, extremely inflated, and to put it bluntly, narcissism.
In short, he was born noble but not exhausted, thoughtful, but often too subjective to listen to other people's advice.
Townsend didn't like him, but not because he didn't look at himself properly, or because he was too pink, but because he had a morbid obsession. Whether it is the jewelry he wears, or the combing style of his hair, or even the current sitting posture, he deliberately pursues perfection.
Obviously, this insistence has gone too far, but this kind of narcissistic person will never care about the eyes of others.
Townsend was familiar with this kind of attachment, because it was the way that some people used to show that they were different from others, and it was also found in many empty and boring yakai or princelings. According to his old man's words, this is a disease, and it must be cured!
Of course, the old man's yào side will never change, it is a flying armed belt.
"Two," a middle-aged man with scars on his face stood in the middle of the room, "please take a seat." ”
Representative No. 16 nodded, and first bowed to the silent young man, and then chose a chair and sat down solemnly.
Townsend smiled freely, nodded to Scarface, and then walked to the chair closest to him. He first picked up the back of his chair and moved two feet forward, and then he reluctantly sat down - the narcissistic patient opposite had already put on an elegant and elegant style, and Townsend didn't want to go along with him, although his face was thicker, he couldn't just throw it away!
We have a lot of styles on our bodies, so let's have a reckless habit to change it if you are not satisfied.
