Some people will question whether the auction bid is not always based on the wishes of the guests themselves. How can auctioneers control where prices go? Don't underestimate the auctioneer's grasp of the scene. The auctioneers on the fifth floor hired by Shifangzhai have all this skill! A little suggestive language, a little change in the rhythm of shouting, a little fluctuation in tone and intonation, can affect customers through the psychological level!

As for the price of the auction item...... It is no exaggeration to say that Shifangzhai will not care about a profit of about one million on a lot. Auctions are not only about creating high prices and making profits, but more importantly, about grabbing some big high-rollers and high-ranking customers! In this way, the role of the auctioneer is extremely important.

Seeing that the old manager of Ding Mao's VIP room gave him a signal, the auctioneer knew that the thing that the distinguished guests of Ding Mao Fang cared about the most this time was this finale lot......

"Ladies and gentlemen, please note that the next lot will be very special......" The auctioneer calmly spoke, but the rhetoric had already deviated from his original intention, abandoning words such as "finale", "precious" and "unique", and instead biting the adjective "special".

Exceptional, which means good, may not be applicable to everyone, or its precious meaning will be limited, so that many customers have reservations about bidding at the auction for a while.

"It is nothing more than a piece of burnt wood to ordinary people, and it will be a miracle medicine to healers and pharmacists...... For luthiers, it's a rarity! The auctioneer didn't speak quickly, and the words in his head were deliberate, and the hint was carried out to the end. At the same time, he also concealed the most secret function of this treasure - to make Dao Gate magic weapons, or to cultivate magic weapons that cooperate with the Five Elements Exercises......

Of course, if the auctioneer doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that no one understands the key, but who would be kind enough to tell the mystery and set up a bidding opponent for himself? In the auction, the emphasis is on a "only care about sweeping the snow in front of the door, don't care about the frost on the tiles of others", the other party is deceived or picks up the treasure, can only be seen but not broken!

As he spoke, the auctioneer lifted the black flannel cloth and saw a black log about eight feet long and three feet wide on a metal stand. As if it was burnt, the original color of the wood had been covered by scorched black, and the beam of light from the roof of the lobby actually made the surface of the wood glow with a trace of metal, and it looked like a piece of stubborn iron!

"A paulownia tree more than 1,000 years old was struck by lightning and fire, burned out, and extinguished by rain, leaving only a section of the core, which is what you are looking for!"

Thunderbolt! And it is a paulownia tree thunderbolt wood, with a thousand years of age, born in the soil, originally wood, extinguished in fire, stored in water, and colored like iron...... It contains the five elements, and it is indeed a rare treasure!

"Thunderbolt, the starting price - zero!"

No reserve price! This is a bold way to do it, because it won't go unauctioned, but it can lead to being picked up. What's more, the auction starts without a reserve price, and the bidding is often very fierce when the price is low, and once it reaches the mid-range price, the bidding speed will fall off a cliff!

The reason is simple, there is no reserve price, which means that the auction house does not give you a price reference, and can only rely on the buyer's own judgment. For such things that are not common in the market and cannot refer to the market, the auction house does not explain or give a reference to the starting price, and the vast majority of people are inaccurate in their valuation. Most people choose to wait and see when they are in such a situation.

There seemed to be silence for a few seconds, and no one rushed to bid - how much was appropriate? If you have less, you will be ridiculed, and if you have more, you are afraid that it will attract the suspicion of many people at once......

"Yo, this auction is almost over, and no one wants the good things that are coming? No one is bidding, right? Let's give it to someone! I'm out ...... Five hundred dollars. ”

The unstingy Han from before spoke. The so-called five hundred dollars is just a temptation, although he doesn't know the price of this thing, but five hundred dollars must be far more than that, and he is not afraid that no one will not take it. Again...... What if?

But Han's dream only lasted for two breaths, and the lazy Gao Gongzi over there unabashedly "sneered" and said:

"If you want to pick up the leak, you have to be a little sincere, what about five hundred dollars to send Hanako? My son paid 5,000 dollars. ”

It has multiplied tenfold at once, and at the same time, it is stuck with the point of five thousand dollars, which arouses the heart of someone Han - he really doesn't dare to increase this price, what if it is Gao Gongzi who fools himself again?

Han was furious in his heart, but he didn't dare to make trouble in this Shifangzhai, although he entered the fifth floor, his room number was "Xinyou", No. 58, properly behind, and he could only afford to provoke two people in the senior ranking......

"Seven thousand." In the other room, a cold voice sounded, no more nonsense.

"Eight Thousand ......"

"Ten thousand, right? How can it be cheaper than the blue and white jar in front? ”

"That's not necessarily, this auction order is not arranged according to value, 6 hundred years ago, I estimate that the blue and white jars of mountains and seas will be the top three in this year's market...... I'll give you a 10-in-1! ”

Some guests secretly exchange their views on this object by means of a conversation in the air. Of course, these exchanges are limited to people who don't have a deep understanding of the effects of thunderbolt.

Just when a few people raised the price by 1,200,000, in the "Ding Mao" room, the old manager took a sip of tea and laughed softly:

"To be able to drink the tea made by the distinguished guests, the old and decrepitized three lives are lucky!"

"The old gentleman is polite...... This time, I have to rely on Mr. more. The beautiful woman who had been calm in front of her spoke, and the movement of pouring tea in her hand was still gentle, but the anticipation in her voice still betrayed her state of mind.

This piece of thunderbolt was her only goal on this trip! It can be said that it is a must-win. However, although she is not short of money, she earns every penny in her pocket, and as a family, she will never spill money indiscriminately, and she will save if she can - I am afraid that no one in the capital does not know the name of this beautiful woman, but few people know that she is actually very thrifty.

The old manager didn't reveal the identity of this beautiful woman, but just touched his beard and said confidently: "Please rest assured, it is wrapped in the old man." The price of this thing has been asked until now, few people can see its true value, and the guests do not need to worry, let them fight first, and when no one asks for the price again, add a little more, and you can take it. ”

"Oh? What is the rationale for this? The girl of the Wang family on the side didn't understand the mystery and asked.

The old manager laughed, "It's just a simple psychological game. When a cadre does not understand the true value of the lot, they are very cautious about increasing the price. As soon as the bidding continues, everyone will feel that the real price of the lot has not yet arrived, and there is still room for bidding......"

"So...... The speed of waiting for the price to rise is getting slower and slower, and these people will also realize that the price has become closer and closer to parity?! The longer you think about it, the more time the buyer is thinking about whether they will lose money! When the last person bids and no one raises the price, that person will wonder if he has asked too much or too much...... We give him time to struggle, and at the last moment, they will feel that they have been saved, and they will be glad that they will not dare to raise the price again. "The girl of the Wang family is not stupid, but she has little knowledge, so the old manager can understand it at all!

She broke through the mystery at once, but then frowned again, and said with a little worry: "What if there are also knowledgeable people?" They're going to do the same thing, right? ”

"It is true that this situation cannot be ruled out, but there is no need for you to worry...... "The old manager and the old god are there," if there is such a situation, the customer can immediately add a heavy price! In our line of work, it's called a smack...... In this way, it shows a posture that is inevitable. In this way, the other party will either retreat from the difficulty, or continue to follow the price, but take another sip of it...... No more than three times, and no one can stand such momentum. ”

This kind of auction skills are all summed up by the old oilers in the auction hall after thousands of tempers. But if it weren't for looking at the face of the Wang family, how could the old manager tell him?

Of course, he will not say the real reason that he is full of - before the fifth floor of Shifangzhai opens every month, he will specially prepare a list of lots for "distinguished customers", and the rest of them do not. In other words, there is no way for other buyers to do their homework in advance, and it is naturally difficult to determine the true value of a treasure like Pili wood.

And those distinguished guests, if they fancy a certain lot, will definitely hint in advance...... But once you say hello to Shifangzhai, Shifangzhai will meet the needs of your guests, which is a kind of selling favors, and the number of times will never be too much, because the value of your customers' faces is sometimes higher than the lot.

In this auction, none of the guests in the first six rooms greeted in advance, in other words, none of the distinguished guests in this batch of lots are bound to win. If the Wang family greets them in advance, the thunderbolt can even be directly "sent" in the form of a private transaction. But since Wang Shaofu didn't come forward, he just asked his daughter to "play", which means that the favor of the Wang family has not been sold.

But Shifangzhai can't be ignorant. Even if Young Master Wang doesn't come forward, Miss Wang is here, so she can spoil her interest? Even if Miss Wang didn't express it, could she easily ignore the wishes of the beautiful woman beside her?

So for this order, the old manager must escort it.

Thinking in his heart, the old manager always had a relaxed and calm smile on his face, and this stability also infected the two distinguished guests in Ding Mao's room.

At this time, the price of thunderbolt had reached 30,000 yuan, and by this time, the frequency of bidding had become extremely slow, and by the time it reached 35,000 yuan, the bidding had completely stopped.

The last person to call out this price, judging from his tone and bidding time, did have a sense of temptation, and when no one responded, the old manager could almost feel the regret in that person's heart......
