【028】Weird Auction
Wang Dazhuang's face is now tangled, he doesn't regret it, if he is given another 100,000 yuan to help sell goods, he will still come, but the feeling of the people around him making him uncomfortable, he knows that he will definitely become a well-known figure in Hangzhou's leather industry today, and of course it will be known by those who want to rob.
But now it's too late to say anything, Wang Dazhuang simply gritted his teeth, straightened his wet back, pretended to be deaf and dumb to the discussions of the people around him, and he just strode towards the market.
Lu Yan and Lan Yue'er followed not far behind.
After all, Lu Yan and the others came to Huang Tiansheng's territory, at this time, Lu Yan stuck all the beards he could stick to his face, and Lan Yue'er also changed her clothes and hats, so no one should be able to recognize the two of them.
Besides, no one noticed Lu Yan and them now, and the people around them all paid attention to Wang Dazhuang who was walking in front, and many curious people simply followed behind Wang Dazhuang, and they all wanted to know how Wang Dazhuang would dispose of these two rare leather goods.
As a result, the people who followed Wang Dazhuang also gathered more and more, and they all wanted to know whether Wang Dazhuang's two leather goods were to be sold, how to sell them, and how much they could be sold? This is definitely a topic that can be talked about.
"I underestimated people's curiosity, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big uproar as soon as I entered the door. Lu Yan saw that there were thirty or forty people behind Wang Dazhuang, which was good, as if Lu Yan and the others were also coming to see the excitement.
Yes, there are many people who are ready to leave the market, and when they see that the leather goods held by Wang Dazhuang have turned back, the ownership of these two leather goods is definitely worth seeing.
Wang Dazhuang swept to the large group of people following behind him, he didn't know what his mood was, he had to hurry up his pace, and ran directly to the auction house as if he was running for his life.
"Sure enough, it's going to be auctioned!"
"yes, it's a loss if you don't sell such a haode thing for a good price. ”
"I don't know when the auction will start, but I will definitely be able to create a sky-high price today. ”
"Yes, wait and see, see who can buy these two leather goods. ”
......
Seeing Wang Dazhuang walk into the auction house, the people around him still hadn't dispersed, and they were still discussing this topic.
Lu Yan and the others happened to be waiting for Wang Dazhuang in the crowd.
Lu Yan consulted Wang Dazhuang, the starting price of the goods auctioned at the auction house must be more than 500,000 items, and the auction house will also charge a 10% commission, 10% commission is not a small amount, but if you can rely on the form of auction to sell at a high price, then the 10% commission is not much at all, so Lu Yan easily agreed to sell these two leather goods by auction.
It took about twenty minutes for Wang Dazhuang to come out of the auction house, he was already empty-handed, obviously the white tiger skin and the sable skin had been left in the auction room, which meant that the two strange mutated beast skins were genuine, and could not be fakes.
"Brother, when will your goods be auctioned?" someone around immediately asked Wang Dazhuang.
"Two o'clock in the afternoon!"
Wang Dazhuang replied loudly at the top of his voice, he knew that if he didn't tell the exact time, the people around him would not let him go.
Of course, some people asked Wang Dazhuang curiously: "Brother, where did you get such haode goods?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know, I'm selling for others. Wang Dazhuang simply dissociated himself from these two leather goods, which was also allowed by Lu Yan, otherwise if Wang Dazhuang was considered a traitor by the people around him, Wang Dazhuang's trouble would really be big.
Everyone also believed when they heard this, after all, everyone understands the truth of Huaibi's sin, and it is rare for someone to sell such haode goods with such fanfare, unless it is a person with superior strength, confident that others will not dare to trouble him, it will show that the goods are their own.
"Let's go, let's take a look at the auction in the afternoon!" After everyone knew the auction time, they all dispersed, just waiting for the afternoon to see the excitement, of course, some of the buyers of the major merchants in the crowd had already called immediately, asking if their company was interested in these two goods.
In the crowd, Lu Yan glanced at Wang Dazhuang and asked him to follow the two of them, Lu Yan didn't need to stay here longer after knowing that the auction time was set for the afternoon, they just needed to come and see the situation in the afternoon.
Just as the three of them walked out, before they walked out of this huge shopping mall, there was a radio in the shopping mall that began to broadcast this auction information.
"Friends, the auction office of this mall, in the afternoon will auction two pieces of mutant beast skins, if you are interested friends and merchants, you can go to the hall of this mall at two o'clock in the afternoon to participate in the live auction. ”
After that, the radio went silent.
"This, that's too easy, isn't it?"
Lan Yue'er immediately frowned and said angrily when she heard such a short broadcast: "Hmph, this auction house is really not responsible, they don't directly say that it is a mutated white tiger skin, so how magnificent it is, it will definitely attract more people to buy it." ”
Lu Yan also felt that the content of this broadcast was too simple, but, maybe the practice of this auction house was always like this, and he was not good at drawing conclusions about this auction, so he just turned his head and looked at Wang Dazhuang.
"Also, in the past, when auctioning things, they would go to great lengths to boast about things, and today's broadcast is too irresponsible. Wang Dazhuang also felt that this propaganda was too bad, and said indignantly.
"Could it be that Huang Tiansheng is deliberately trying to get along with us?" Lan Yue'er looked at Lu Yan and guessed angrily.
Yes, this black market is run by Huang Tiansheng, and this auction house is also operated by Huang Tiansheng's people, coupled with the relationship between Lu Yan and Huang Tiansheng, it is easy for Lan Yue'er to associate this matter with Huang Tiansheng.
Frowning, Lu Yan was also a little surprised, but thinking that the two of them had hidden their identities, they should not let Huang Tiansheng's people recognize them so quickly. However, the auction house also made Lu Yan puzzled, and this was not good for the auction house, according to normal speaking, the auction house also wanted to sell at a high price, because the auction house made a profit according to the proportion of 10% of the transaction price of their auction item, that is, the higher they auctioned the price, the greater the income of the auction house.
However, there are no absolutes.
Lu Yan has also heard that some auction houses will have some behind-the-scenes operations, but Lu Yan doesn't know much about them, and now he is really a little worried.
"Could it be that this auction house is also operating behind the scenes?"
I was entangled in my heart, but now that the two leather goods have been handed over to the auction office, it is impossible for Lu Yan to get things back, and at the same time, when they entered the door just now, they saw that many people already knew that there were white tiger skins entering the auction house, so it was difficult for the auction house to cover the sky with one hand, Lu Yan had to say: "In the afternoon, let's come over and see the situation!"
The three of them could only do this, worried about the afternoon auction, and the three of them found a hotel for a simple meal at noon.
After chatting for a while, at half past one in the afternoon, the three of them returned to the black market of leather goods early.
According to Wang Dazhuang's guidance, Lu Yan and the others arrived in the hall of the commercial building, which is the center of the entire shopping mall, and the location is very open.
Of course, this black market auction house can't use a separate space to isolate people who want to buy goods and operate it alone, like a regular auction house, but, Lu Yan thought, this is better, and in an open space, it is difficult to get some people to do some things in the dark.
However, the operation of auctions in open space will also encounter some problems for auction houses, because regular auction houses will let those who intend to bid pay a certain deposit first, so as to avoid the situation of unsuccessful auctions due to random bidding, while auctions in open space are prone to similar situations.
And this auction has the courage to auction in an open space, there should be a way to deal with such a situation, and it is unknown how to operate Lu Yan, and it is the first time he has seen such an auction, so he can only wait and see.
At this time, there were already more than 100 people standing in the hall, Lu Yan could hear that many of these people were still chatting about white tiger skins and sable skins, obviously, these people were those who saw Wang Dazhuang bring in the goods in the morning, and knew about the auction items in the afternoon, so they came over early.
However, this hall is like an open-air square, it is very large, and it is estimated that there will be no problem with accommodating four or five hundred people, so more than a hundred people are not many in this hall.
Time passed minute by minute, and people in the hall came one after another, but many people didn't seem to know that there was going to be an auction here, and most of them saw that there were many people here, and they came to inquire to know that there was going to be an auction of white tiger skins here, so they stayed to see the excitement.
"It seems that these people are not prepared!" Lu Yan said secretly in his heart.
Yes, if these people are all passing by here to watch the excitement, then it will be difficult for them to immediately come up with a large amount of cash to trade, and without a few powerful buyers competing with each other, it will be difficult to auction the goods for a high price, especially for a rare item like a white tiger skin.
The time is almost up, and there are only more than 200 people in front of the huge auction house, which is not unprecedented at all, and it is difficult to match the popularity of such an auction with such a rare commodity today, which inevitably makes Lu Yan begin to have doubts about the operation of this auction house.
Lan Yue'er's snow-white little face was already pink, she was most concerned about the white tiger skin she chose, that was her favorite fur, if it wasn't for the hot weather here that was not suitable for white tiger skin, she was reluctant to sell it, but, now that she has decided to sell it, of course she also hopes to sell it at a price that satisfies her.
"It must be Huang Tiansheng who is doing a ghost!" Lan Yue'er muttered resentfully again.
Lu Yan didn't believe that Huang Tiansheng was deliberately targeting the two of them, but the atmosphere of this auction was abnormal, and now they could only see the situation clearly.
It's already two o'clock, but the auction still hasn't started.
"Hey, it's time, weishenme won't start filming yet?"
"That's it, it's almost time to start!"
"Let's shoot, shoot, shoot..."
Some people below have already started to heckle and shout together, which is probably the unique feature of this open space auction house.
The reason for these people shouting slogans is very simple, they are obviously interested in those two leather goods, they see that there are fewer sellers today, and the sooner they start, the fewer competitors, so that the greater the hope of selling those two rare items, so they began to shout rhythmically, and the voice became louder and louder...
