Chapter 208: Dutch Auction

The impact of Allure Auction has not yet passed, and various Fuying platforms, in order to attract the attention of the audience and win ratings, have even invited experts in some fields to participate in program interviews.

Experts in various fields have different evaluations and attitudes towards the 'Alphabet Series Magic Weapon' and the 'Allure Auction'. There are praises and disadvantages, but in general there are more praises. Many experts have come to the conclusion that this is a one-of-a-kind auction.

Experts from the Federation Rune Shadow Platform commented that this 'Allure Auction' is an auction that combines masters and masters. He said in his commentary: "The 'Alphabet Series Magic Weapon' has super excellent performance parameters that surpass most of the previous four-star magic weapons, which shows that the refiners who can refine the 'Alphabet Series Magic Weapons' have reached the master level in their techniques, and are the 'masters' among the undisputed refiners."

The second is the advertising production of magic weapons, Yan Poyun, a legendary 'master' shooting advertisement, to a large extent won the attention of the audience, successfully attracted everyone's attention, and became an instant hit, so that the auction was known to the whole Federation.

The most successful part of the auction is the planning, and the person who planned this 'Allure Auction' is a business 'master' beyond ordinary people. The planners cleverly took advantage of the opportunity of the Xiuzhen Games. The place where the Xiuzhen Games is located is a place where cultivators gather, and all kinds of cultivators are mixed. If the auction location is placed in another city, it will definitely not affect the current effect.

Moreover, during the Xiuzhen Games, it is the time when cultivators need magic weapons to improve their combat effectiveness the most. The excellent performance of the 'alphabet series magic weapon' happens to be the biggest attraction.

The combination of the three 'masters' has created this unique auction. ”

This is an auction that has never been done before, and the four-star magic weapon has such a high transaction price. Someone deliberately calculated that in this 'Allure Auction', the average transaction price of the eight 'alphabet series magic weapons' reached 85 million.

However, on the afternoon of the end of the first auction, the two authoritative rune platforms of Xiuzhen Rune Shadow Platform and Federation Rune Shadow Platform simultaneously broadcast a message about the 'Alphabet Series Magic Weapon'.

Some buyers sent the auctioned 'alphabet series magic weapon' to Master Nong Pei for evaluation, and the answer given by Master Nong Pei was surprising. The moment Master Nong Pei got the magic weapon, he thought he was inferior.

After his judgment, the core void runes of the magic weapon have been optimized by the refiner, and their performance exceeds the original similar void runes by 30%, and the spiritual energy consumed is more than 20% less than that of similar void runes. Regardless of the runic lines, the magic weapon design has a unique style and is in a class of its own.

Who is Nong Pei? The famous refining master of the Xiuzhen Federation, the eighth-level refiner, counted on two hands in the entire Xiuzhen Federation. Even Nong Pei is sighing at the master's work, and all of a sudden, it has added another fire to the already boiling 'alphabet series magic weapon'.

The performance is increased by 30%, and the spiritual energy consumption is reduced by 20%, which means that for cultivators, as long as they are proficient in magic weapons, their combat power will be increased by more than 30%. Strength, for any cultivator, has an irresistible temptation.

Soon, a reporter got the performance parameters of the magic weapon attached to the VIP invitation, and sorted out the information obtained one by one, and began to hype it up. This is a topic of great hype value.

When the performance parameters of the 'Alphabet Series Magic Weapon' were announced on the major rune platforms and became known to everyone, the entire Xiuzhen Federation caused an uproar.

Experienced cultivators know that the performance parameters are the preliminary parameters during the magic weapon test. After being familiar with the magic weapon, the combat effectiveness of the magic weapon far exceeded the performance parameters during the test.

Many people who got the news were full of excitement and immediately set off for Xiuzhen City.

The next day, the second auction of 'Allure Auction' was held as scheduled, and in order to improve the quality of the auction, the rules of 'Allure Auction' were changed. According to Luo Chengcheng's idea, anyone who enters the venue needs to pay an entrance fee of 10,000 real coins. This news was released early, and when it didn't stop the cultivators from going crazy for the magic weapon, for the cultivators, in order to see the style of the 'alphabet series magic weapon', 10,000 cultivation coins could not stop their footsteps.

Five thousand cultivators entered the market, so that before the 'Allure Auction' began, they earned 50 million in admission fees.

Many commentators on the live broadcast of the Fuying platform are full of admiration for the people behind the planning of the auction, which is an out-and-out business genius.

This auction still attracts the attention of the entire Xiuzhen Federation, and everyone is looking forward to the auction myth of the 'Allure City Auction' appearing again.

When the auction began, the whole auction fell silent, staring directly at the auctioneers in the auction seats.

Wei Wei was slightly excited in his heart, as a senior auctioneer in Xiuzhen City, he had presided over thousands of auctions, except for the excitement at the beginning, his mentality gradually calmed down.

However, yesterday's auction brought back the same passion he had when he first entered the auction industry.

In his later recollections, he defined this auction as the luckiest of his own, because he witnessed the birth of an auction myth.

Clearing his throat, Vicky glanced at the cultivators present and sorted out his excitement: "According to the boss's arrangement, there are some changes in the auction rules today. What is going to be done today is a Dutch-style auction, also known as an open sale auction. The rules of Dutch auctions are explained below.

The lot will be sold at a relatively high price, and in the following auctions, every ten seconds, we will lower the price of the sale until someone calls a stop, and the stopped bidder can buy the lot at the current stop price.

Here's the first magic weapon 'R' today, with a starting price of 130 million, and a price drop of 1 million every 10 seconds. ”

Unlike yesterday's auction, where there was a blushing and thick-necked bid, at the beginning of the auction, the whole venue fell into a dead silence, no one spoke, some pondered, some looked around, and all had the same expression.

"Mr. Ye Bing, the 'Allure Auction' seems to be in a cold field, and it is rare to hear of Dutch auctions, why would the mastermind behind the auction choose this way to auction?"

"It's not a cold field, on the contrary, there is an undercurrent in the auction hall right now, but through the picture, we can't experience that oppressive feeling now.

The person who proposed this auction method is a very good business master, or psychological master, who can skillfully control the psychology of each bidder, so as to get greater profits.

First of all, let's talk about the Dutch auction, which is a type of auction that is the opposite of yesterday's English auction with open bidding. The auctioneer gives a relatively high price, which then decreases over time until the bidder stops, and the stopped bidder gets the lot at the stop price. There's a gambling flavor to this.

Each bidder has a psychological maximum price for the lot. As the price slowly decreases, it will gradually approach the bidder's psychological price.

In the bidding auction, they can slowly detect the psychological price of the other party according to the bidding process, and if the psychological price of the other party is much lower than their own, they can use the price lower than their psychological price to get the lot. But this is a stop, whoever stops first, the magic weapon belongs to whom.

Once he wants to get the magic weapon at a price lower than his psychological price, he has to take a risk, if the other bidders stop first, he will lose the lot, so many people, in order to get the lot, will stop when the price reaches his psychological price. And this is often the highest price on the field. Compared to the British auction, the Dutch auction is more beneficial to the organizer. ”

After everyone heard the experts' comments, it suddenly dawned on them that the organizers were making the bidders do a psychological battle. Many of the people sitting in front of the Talisman Platform watched with interest everything in the auction hall.

Over time, the price of 'R' has dropped to 100 million. The scene became quieter, except for the breathing of some people on the field.

This price has begun to approach their psychological price, and some people on the field are looking around, ready to exit at any time, for fear of being preempted by others.

Even the commenting experts who watched the broadcast stopped commenting, looking at the scene with anticipation on their faces, and the final word, whoever stopped first will have whomever the magic weapon is, and there is only one chance.

"92 million. Vicky's face didn't fluctuate much, just holding the stopwatch, staring at the moment above, the price was reduced by one million every ten seconds, and in the blink of an eye, ten seconds passed quickly.

"91 million. Vicky tried to hide his inner excitement with his calmness.

"90 million. ”

There were already people on the field who were blushing and thick-necked, and there were more than one, and many people began to loosen their bow ties and try to make themselves as relaxed as possible. Everyone wants the price to be lower, and no one on the field wants to stop.

Gu Hao and Nan Tian sat next to the auction table wearing masks, their breath was flat, and they were not infected by the strange atmosphere on the field. He was also a little excited in his heart, and he had to admire Luo Qingcheng's ability to make the magic weapon sell at such a terrifying price.

"89 million"

As Vicky's voice fell, the breathing on the field was a little heavier, but no one had stopped yet, and the auction continued.

Now the atmosphere in the auction hall is a bit eerie, there is no opening, and it is dead silent.

Unlike any previous auction, behind the silence, there is a complex undercurrent. This is a game, a game between the organizer and the bidder, and it is also a psychological game between the bidders.

Not only the people in the auction hall, but even some cultivators who watched the live broadcast of the auction couldn't help but clench their fists.

The average price of yesterday's auction was 85 million, and now it is slowly approaching this price, which is very close to everyone's psychological price.

"88 million. Vicky said as he looked at the stopwatch in his hand. If it was normal, he would definitely say something to encourage everyone to bid, and today the boss has informed him in advance, so he doesn't have to let those people think for themselves at the auction, and he doesn't have to say too much.

Although he didn't understand the boss's intentions, he still did it, just quietly quoting the price.

Now the atmosphere on the field is more subtle, and no one is the first to make a sound. The current auction hall is like a hot oil pan, as long as it breaks into a bowl of water, it will quickly explode.

"87 million. ”

PS: To popularize it, the British auction is an open bidding auction, which is the auction method we often see, and the Dutch auction is a reduced price auction, and the specific rules are as mentioned above, giving a higher price, decreasing over time, until someone stops, and the person who stops gets the auction. There are other ways to auction and those who are interested can take a closer look. (To be continued.) )
