Chapter 44: Bidding Dolls
The auction hall in Molde City is also very large, just like Zheng Feng's boxing arena in his previous life, there is a podium in the middle, and the guests are scattered around the podium, except for the back of the podium, there are many private rooms on the other three sides.
Zheng Feng and his men with bracelets were a total of eight people, plus two children and two wives who watched the children, as well as Grued and Desby who accompanied them, a total of fourteen people. They used a large VIP room, which was arranged by the auction house, because this time they were auctioning six seventh-level Warcraft materials, and the conservative market price would be more than one million gold coins.
For such a big customer, the service level of the auction house is quite high, not only arranging the largest VIP room in the venue, but also providing a variety of high-end drinks and food for free. Of course, the value of this thing is not even a drop in the bucket compared to the auction house's 5 percent commission.
I have to say that these high-end foods provided by the auction house are still good, although in terms of manufacturing grade, they may not be as good as the craftsmanship of skillful chefs and demon butlers, but each place has a different taste, and these specialty foods are still somewhat attractive.
So before the auction began, Beryl and Jakar had already eaten a mouth full of dim sum dregs. These two little guys are happy these days, one of them has not been out of the mountains since the catastrophe, and they are still living a worried life, and the other is from the beginning of their sensibility, they have been living in the cottage, and now they are in the lively city, of course, they are very excited.
Although during these two months, the two little ones lived in the castle, did not worry about food and clothing, and all kinds of toys for them. But there are only a few people in the castle, although it is not deserted, but it must be far from the bustle, how can it be fun in the city.
Six or seven-year-old children are the age of fun, and the two little ones are eating snacks while running around in this large private room, giggling and laughing. And Zheng Feng looked at them with a smile on the side, every time he thought of the moment he had just met Beryl, that fragile and timid appearance made Zheng Feng feel sad and distressed, and the sadness inherited from Keith would also unconsciously come up. In this way, Zheng Feng has now completely regarded the hatred of Allah's kingdom as his own.
After waiting for a short time, the auction officially began, and everyone's attention turned to the items that were auctioned. Even the two little ones who were running around were each picked up by the two ladies, who also began to help them wipe their mouths and arrange their clothes.
The first item in the auction was a sixth-level magic guide, with a reserve price of 30,000 gold coins, and after some publicity and publicity by the auctioneer, it was sold for more than 50,000 gold coins. Although this auctioneer is very hardworking, and what he said can be regarded as a foolish thing, but the buyers of magic guides are generally those cultivators, and everyone has a conventional psychological price, and it is not easy to raise the price too high.
However, some ordinary luxury goods in the future are different, some can be bought several times the normal price, and some will even be unsold. It depends on the ability of the auctioneer and whether there are any wealthy people on site who prefer these luxury goods, and the value of these luxury goods depends to a considerable extent on the personal preferences of the buyer.
As long as these rich people really like it, no matter how expensive things are, they will buy them. On the contrary, if there are no people who like these things on the scene, then no matter how beautifully made and precious the materials are, these luxury goods may not be cared for.
Halfway through the auction, Zheng Feng also participated in a bidding, which was a wooden doll that was not only beautifully made, but also able to speak. So Beryl grabbed Zheng Feng's sleeve with her little hand, shaking and shaking, seeing the little girl's big eyes staring at the doll without blinking, Zheng Feng could only raise his hand helplessly. Then Claude pressed the bid button and quoted the price.
However, what is surprising is that this doll, which has a reserve price of only twenty gold coins, is very sought-after. Starting with thirty gold coins, Claude and others gradually raised the price to five hundred gold coins, and this bidding is still continuing.
At this time, in the houtai of the auction hall, the person in charge of this auction was already scratching his head. Originally, this doll was only used to relax the atmosphere, to relieve the tension of the guests who came to participate in the auction, so that everyone could relax and enter the competition for those lots that need everyone's excitement. Otherwise, these people have been tense and nervous, and when it comes to those valuable lots, they may not have the energy.
But now, such a small lot has wasted so much time, and it has gradually aroused the interest of the guests. If this is a high-end item with tens of thousands of gold coins, the auction house will be happy if the bidding continues, but this doll is only a few hundred gold coins now, and the price of each bid is only ten or twenty coins, so when will it go?
Therefore, the person in charge of the auction house had to quickly find two dolls of the same type, and sent two capable subordinates to coordinate in the private rooms of the two bidders. It is hoped that at least one of the two guests participating in the auction will give up and continue to fight. Yes, there are only two bidders for this doll, which would be strange if it weren't for the vindictiveness.
When the coordinator of the auction house came to Zheng Feng's VIP room and said his intention euphemistically, Claude, who was in charge of receiving him, brought the coordinator directly to Beryl, and then told him that if the young lady agreed not to bid anymore, then the others would have no opinion.
Although the value of this doll has been raised dozens of times, and it is very wasteful to continue bidding, Zheng Feng is used to the calculation method in tens of thousands, and he has no interest in paying attention to how much it is for this kind of item with hundreds of gold coins. And if he can't even make a small request from his little cousin, does he still want to participate in the great cause of hegemony in this world?
As for the other subordinates, how could they care about these things, Wukong and Xiaobu just sat on the side and ate snacks, and for them the food was much more attractive than the auction. Gerald and Elusa sat in the corner on the other side, gesturing at the regular seats outside the VIP room and whispering to each other, Elusa laughing twice from time to time.
Xinyue sat quietly beside Zheng Feng, picking up two nuts from time to time, or handing the drink to Zheng Feng. Only Flying Shadow is still a little bit of a business, he supports his chin with one hand, and the other hand has a button to press the quotation button again and again, and whenever someone else quotes, he increases the price by ten gold coins, no more, no less, and continues this action.
And Beryl, the protagonist of this bidding event, is slightly pouting and listening to the sound of price increases outside. In her heart, she now hates the person who bids with them, she just wants a doll, and that bad guy is going to make trouble.
So when the coordinator of the auction house came and wanted to make the little girl give up the bidding, Beryl pouted and snorted, and turned her little head to the side. It made this coordinator embarrassed, and there was no way to talk to such a small child. But this coordinator can't leave yet, he has a task, and there is no reasonable explanation for how he can just leave.
Unlike the embarrassment of the coordinator on this side, the coordinator who went to the other side was blasted out as soon as he entered the house, and people didn't dump him at all. Although a large-scale auction house like this is generally supported by those big people behind it, otherwise it would not have been opened. But the guests who participated in the bidding for the dolls did not seem to be ordinary little nobles, and their attitude was quite tough.
The coordinator who was blasted out naturally went back to report to the person in charge of the auction house, and then the person in charge sent this unlucky coordinator to Zheng Feng and them. After the two coordinators met, they had no choice but to gather around Beryl and keep persuading them that they could give two identical dolls to Beryl for free.
But how could the little girl listen to the nonsense of these two people, although these dolls are not much different in the eyes of adults, they are all low-level magic guides that belong to luxury goods. But it's different for children, Beryl just thinks that these two dolls that are given away for free are not as beautiful as the one that was auctioned, so she just disagreed, and threw a small head into a rattle.
In the end, Goku came out and became a good person, and he asked Elusa to take a picture of the auction doll, and then discussed it with Beryl, and asked the craftsman to make one after he returned. Beryl tilted her head and thought about it, those craftsmen had made a lot of toys for themselves, they should be able to make the same dolls. In addition, now that these two dolls can be obtained for nothing, it should be taken advantage of, so the little girl reluctantly agreed.
The tool used to take the shape of a doll is also a magic device, which looks like a wooden box with a special image crystal inside, which can be used to photograph a specific image on a special piece of paper. This otherworldly version of the camera was bought by Zheng Feng and them when they were shopping in the past two days, and it cost two hundred gold coins, which is definitely a high-end luxury in this world.
The task is complete, the two coordinators leave with great gratitude, and Flying Shadow stops boring repetitive bidding. Beryl held the two white dolls, looked left and right, and then hesitated and handed one of the dolls to Jacard next to him. Jacquear, who was looking at the two dolls with envy on the side, immediately smiled as soon as he got the new toy.
