Chapter 710: The Birth of the Scalpers

Chapter 710: The Birth of the Scalper Party (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

In the end, the auction ended with a round of applause.

The people who participated in this auction felt that the trip was worthwhile, and they made a lot of money.

First, I watched a good show of the two hundred and five big battles of the mobs.

At that time, it was really thrilling, and Jeffrey's grandson usually looked sick, and all day long with a face that was too drunk, as if it could be poured when the wind blew.

I didn't expect it to be ruthless and vicious enough, and I started the knife without saying a word.

But the fat man was also very good, and he actually cleaned up the grandson in three or two clicks.

It's really a twist and turn, and this section alone is enough to be popular in Acadherine for three months.

What's more, the current world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, and the young men don't like to throw white gloves to duel anymore, and there has been no decent excitement to see in Arcaderine for a long time, and there are some sī runs, green hats, whose son looks like a groom These boring gossip.

Now it's finally a bit of energy.

What's even more exciting is the atmosphere after the auction.

After taking out a few rare treasures, the guests in the venue finally couldn't hold back and began to rush to buy.

Lorraine's taunts are very effective, and the Semitic people have always been arrogant, so many people don't care about anything when their brains are hot.

What's more, the things in this auction are really good, in order to be able to make the auction a hit, Lorraine took out some treasures from Whitebeard at the bottom of the box, even if Whitebeard didn't have them, he could find the goods from other pirates, and the selected goods were all of the best quality.

Whether it is a famous car, a treasure knife, or a purebred famous horse and splendid silk, it is rarely in demand on the market, and sometimes it can only be encountered once in a year or two.

Arcadherine has always lacked rich people, especially high-level rich people, for them, they can only laugh at the beauty, or earn some face, and no matter how much money UA has, it is not a problem.

The guests quickly left the Plantagenet UA family behind, and for them, they bought it and bought it, and the Plantagenet UA family would be unhappy, so what?

This kind of opportunity, it would be foolish to miss it.

Under the host's eloquence, the guests' bidding was higher and higher, and the price record of similar products in Acadherine was continuously refreshed.

The Praetorian Guards in the venue were stunned by the extravagance of the aristocracy, and the sky-high prices of the goods made them smack, which could be regarded as an eye-opener.

The guests who bid were also addicted, and when they reached the critical period, some people simply pulled their collars and shouted and jumped to increase each other's prices.

This made Lorraine, who had been lying in Fiona's arms, smile from ear to ear, secretly saying that these Semitic guys are simply a typical example of money and stupidity.

The auction ended successfully, and everyone returned with a full load of goods, and Leo, who was settling accounts in the house, also smiled uncontrollably, and frequently expressed regret that he did not open the market of the Semitic people as soon as possible, and this foreign trade business is to make money.

At the same time, the Sotheby's auction was also an instant hit.

Just the BMW luxury carriage, the glass mirrors of the UA Impression School paintings, the sky-high price of brand-name perfumes, and the extremely sharp, blown and sharpened iron knife have already caused a sensation in the city.

The magnates of the entire Imperial City already knew that there was a Sotheby's auction house in the Praetorian Guard. The contents are all high-end luxury goods from the human side, and the price is not affordable for ordinary people.

Contrary to the general idea, the Arcaderine magnates thought that it was a shame to buy a bargain, and of course the concept of buying a glass bead at the price of a diamond was different.

One thing is only 10 percent more expensive than the other, but the price is twice as high, but they like to buy it the most.

Sotheby's auctions instantly became a symbol of high-end professionalism.

The people there are extremely powerful, and the goods they bring are not at all shoddy and high-priced inferior goods from the official Semitic import and export companies.

They get the best quality brand-name goods, which can increase the luxury goods of the owner's xìng value~

It's just a random set, and the lowest is a piece of blue sè equipment like the most famous 'silver scale xiong armor' in history, not to mention, the stakes they hold auctions every day, as well as gold equipment.

A lot of things, even rare items with no price, can be seen at a glance at the opportunity to make money.

Even if he is an experienced nobleman in the social circle of the imperial city, the knowledgeable ruffian who claims to have 'eaten, seen and played' has only heard of it, not necessarily seen it with his own eyes.

What's more, Lorraine also launched a hierarchical membership system extremely viciously, as long as the UA has enough money. There can be a corresponding discount.

This is the legend, 'the more UA, the more you save'.

Although these people are powerful, but whose money is not blowing in the wind, it is good to save one, of course, it is good to save one.

And what kind of diamond VIP member, if nothing else, the name alone sounds grand enough, and easily despises those members who only have silver and gold cards.

At the same time, you can also enjoy the corresponding privileged services, and there is a special VIP channel to enter the venue, and you can visit the auction goods before the auction starts.

As the auction went on day by day, even as more and more people learned about Sotheby's reputation, what good things were sold there, what good things were bought, and how good was that thing?

In the aristocratic circle of the Imperial City, there are many noble ladies and ladies who are full of food all day long and have nothing to do.

One of the best ways for them to spend their time is to go shopping, then take what they have bought, compare it with each other and show it off, and once they don't compare, they go shopping again.

And now, they now have one more thing to show off. And this thing is not quite the same as the title, the title is fixed many times, and it may not be able to rise to the next level in a few lifetimes.

But this membership can be easily bought for a sum of money.

And this membership can still be upgraded, as long as members of different levels purchase a certain amount, they can be upgraded to the next level of membership.

Therefore, everyone is even more flocking. Even though he knew that this was a big pit that could kill people, he was still elated, like the family owners who saw the big sale of a department store, and jumped into the big pit desperately, and he went forward one after another and moved forward bravely. Without the slightest hesitation.

When everyone meets, it is no longer a greeting of 'have you eaten', nor is it a sour rustic accent of London, and a sour sentence of 'good belly and oily belly', which makes people think that it is selling braised large intestines.

Instead, ask, "Are you a member?"

If you don't have a Diamond Platinum Card in your hand and only have a Gold Card, then it's like driving a Japanese carriage, and you're embarrassed to say hello to people, and there is no place for you in a bunch of Diamond members.

In this case, almost all the people who took the initiative to apply for membership broke through the threshold.

Leo was too busy counting the money every day, and Le's big eyes narrowed into a slit, and he sighed that making money in Semitic was enjoyable.

But this little rascal is also worthy of being a natural politician, and he has always been an insatiable person.

Even though his hands are cramping when he counts the money now, and he can't close his mouth with joy, he still complains about Lorraine again and again: It's a pity, this membership system is really late. If it was before, how much more money could be made by this~

It's a loss, it's a big loss~

Lorraine also regretted it a little, but there was no way to do it, he was also entangled in everything, leading troops to fight, and getting started, there were a lot of official duties every day, and he had to deal with his group of dancing girlfriends.

Not only to maintain world peace, but also to maintain the stability of the family, this alone is already busy, this is because Catherine and Adele handled the government affairs for him, otherwise Lorraine would be tired every day like a dog sticking out her tongue.

Lorraine simply didn't have time to calm down, to think seriously about business, and to move out of this powerful weapon.

You know, this membership system, plus discounts and upgrades, is the most classic marketing trap. It has always been a big killer weapon for God to block and kill God, and Buddha to block and kill Buddha.

In Lorraine's time, this was not only the most brilliant idea of the most knowledgeable business elite, but also the test of hundreds of years of business reform and hundreds of millions of customers.

It can be described as a thousand tempers. That's when the trap was dug that could trap the dead.

Everyone just thinks about the more ua, the more they earn, as if they make more money.

Therefore, when it comes to having a high discount, when you see the goods there, whether you need it or not, as long as it looks good, you can buy it with UA money.

Driven by this trend and atmosphere, everyone is rushing to buy, and a few people can calmly figure out that at this time, no money is the best choice.

It may seem like you are taking advantage, but in fact, you have completely fallen into the trap of the merchant, and you have more money.

With such a completely ahead of the times marketing methods, and a large number of luxury goods as a support, the auction is becoming more and more popular.

Later, there was even a situation where it was difficult to get a vote.

And the scalpers also conformed to the trend of the times, and came into being in a series of different worlds such as purple gas coming from the east, different fragrances falling from the sky, red light falling to the ground, and so on.

Every day, there are a large group of ruffians going back and forth outside the auction hall, as long as they see someone coming, just like a ruffian who sells pirated CDs, they go up to the joint reverently: "Hey, do you want a ticket? The front row, VIP seats, only 899 yuan......

Because many nobles queued for a long time, but they couldn't buy tickets, they couldn't participate in the auction.

Therefore, under the anger of everyone, they have put forward a strong protest to the upper echelons of the company, Chairman Lei Guangguang, demanding a severe crackdown on scalpers.

This matter also aroused the great attention of Chairman Lei, and made important instructions to his subordinates.

After receiving the order, those subordinates did not dare to slack off, and they united with multiple departments to enforce the law and carried out several severe crackdowns on those ticket sellers.

But the ticket sellers were like weeds, and the fire seemed to burn out, but after two days, it was growing vigorously from the dirt again. Facing the light breeze, a thriving appearance.

Whenever this time the price increase is more ruthless, as if to make up for the loss of two days of closure.

This situation makes all the nobles who are eager to participate in the auction puzzled. They could only lament that the magic of this gold coin was too great.

There are also a few dead plagues that have made sonnets or something, in order to satirize people's hearts and social customs.

Like what "gold ~ yellow, the treasure of light." This thing, with a little bit, can turn the black into white, the ugly into beautiful, the wrong into right, the humble into noble, the old man into a young man, and the coward into a warrior......"

But later, after the famous Semitic general Kano wrote his memoirs, everyone realized that more than half of the money earned by those ticket sellers was going to fall into the pockets of General Manager Lei.

Every time the ticket seller takes a ticket, he takes his slip to the back of the ticket gate, and directly takes the ticket and leaves. The ticket sellers who do not pay the management fee to Chairman Lei are waiting to face the anger of Chairman Lei.

This incident also fully violated the true face of the great emperor, the vile and insatiable rogue, and also made the world see the huge gap between them and the genius managers.

They didn't know that Leo was actually pushed out as the main tank to pull hatred. Behind Leo there is also a huge yīn shadow.

At the same time, another work is underway.

Lord Jeffrey of the Plantagenet UA family actually disturbed the venue in public, and even took out a controlled murder weapon in public, trying to murder a merchant from out of town.

This method is extremely cruel, the circumstances are extremely heinous, the crime is extremely serious, the social danger is extremely great, and the consequences are extremely severe. Even finger-pointing.

Higher-level leaders personally came to guide the investigation of the case and gave important instructions on the handling of the case.

Inspired by the spirit of the higher-level leaders, the Janissaries military judges profoundly understood the spirit of the higher-level leaders and immediately interrogated him severely, quickly, and severely.

Charges were immediately brought before a military court.

After receiving the charges, the military court did not dare to slack off, and immediately began the trial work.

However, during the trial, a civil lawsuit was filed in court.

Although the gang of soldiers and ruffians in the military court were all carrying stars and belts on their shoulders, although the general manager of Lei Guangguang and Lei was young, he was not afraid at all.

He slapped the table against the ruffians and said angrily, "You fools, you have taken people away like this." Do you know that the money he paid for taking pictures of the carriage has not been paid~

Let 丫tǐng's hurry up and pay the money~"

As the presiding judge, Judge Laver was also extremely helpless about this little rascal who came to roar in the court, smiled bitterly, laughed with him, and said: "General Manager Lei, what is the carriage worth, you can't shoot it again." ”

Leo snorted coldly, and looked at Geoffrey, who was standing in the dock with his hands and feet in shackles, looking up and down, and saw that he would rather die than give in.

Although his face was bloodied, he still held his head high, his eyes spewed angry flames, staring coldly at the prosecutor next to him, and the victims Saddam Hussein, bin Laden, George W. Bush, and Obama sitting on the other side, with red faces.

Leo doesn't care, he's seen a lot of guys like this who pretend to be heroes and pretend to be heroes. But in the end, there are not many who can carry it to the end. And those who carry it to the end are generally all dead, and there is no future.

Not to mention, that fool even provoked Lorraine, it was simply dead.

Leo turned back and said disdainfully to Laver, "Nonsense, you can sell a carriage for eighty-five thousand gold coins?

It's okay to go back to the auction, but what if you can't auction it at such a high price? If you have a bad account in the middle, it will be difficult to explain it to the shareholders. “

He paused, squeezed out a smile on his little face, and said, "Why don't you make up the difference for me?"

Laver shivered. He knew that the carriage was a high-end luxury. The price difference in the middle is thousands, let him pay for it out of his own pocket, don't look at the high price of pork now, but all his meat is treated as pork, and if he is sold out of the case, he may not be able to get a fraction.

Thinking of this, Laver hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said, "Manager Lei, General Manager Lei, Brother Lei, hahahaha, let's discuss again?"

Hey, hey, don't go~

We have something to say, something to say. ”

Leo snorted coldly, turned his head, and said, "When we come out, we must be creditworthy." Since they have taken pictures, we have to sell them to others. Otherwise, how can we win the trust of people in the future? ”

Laver was stunned for a moment, and then said in admiration: "General Manager Lei Da is really honest, and he can be called a generation of business wizards. ”

Leo waved his little fat hand at the moment, and said loudly: "You don't shoot fart anymore, you won't be happy if you shoot me again, I won't be happy at all, I really won't be happy at all......"

Everyone present looked at him and couldn't find their eyes with joy, and they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Although this kid is smart, he is simple, no matter what kind of sycophants he makes, he will take it all.

Look at him and be proud...... Uh, tsundere. The tonsils can be seen in the mouth that is not closed to the music.

Leo paused, then beckoned to Laver, and said, "I said Brother Laver, I'll teach you a way." You let him buy it with UA money first. And then, this carriage is the key evidence of their fight, isn't it?"

Laver didn't know what he wanted to do, so he nodded hesitantly and said, "You seem to be talking about ...... Not bad. But what's the use of that?"

Leo sighed, "Big brother, think about it." Since it is already evidence, no matter what happens to this case, do you want to put it away first, in order to let the case have a fair and reasonable solution and preserve effective evidence, so find a place to put it for 30 years and 50 years?"

Laver couldn't help but be even more confused, he looked at Leo with a weird smile on his face, like a little jianchen, and couldn't help muttering, "That'...... So what?"

Seeing that he still couldn't understand it, Leo couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said, "Do you still need me to teach you? Put it there, isn't it yours?

You don't need a copper plate, you get a carriage for nothing, where can you find this cheap thing?"

Laver suddenly woke up like a dream.

He stretched out his hand, slapped his forehead heavily, and said, "How did I forget this?" It seems that the business is still not skilled enough~"

Then he looked at Leo, involuntarily gave a thumbs up, and praised loudly: "High, really high~"

Leo clasped his hands in his arms, pursed his lips disdainfully, and said, "I know Gao, you don't hurry up, what are you waiting for?"

Laver immediately froze, then sat up straight, and said in a loud voice: "The defendant Jeffrey, because he bought the carriage in advance and still did not pay, was brought into a civil lawsuit, therefore, hereby, this judgment is pronounced, the defendant Jeffrey must pay 85,000 gold coins to pay for the purchase of the carriage. ”

Jeffrey snorted coldly, and did not speak, but raised his head even higher.

Laver immediately glanced at him, and two Praetorian Guard gendarmes in crimson uniforms walked over and couldn't help but say that they were going to take money from Jeffrey's arms.

Jeffrey was about to struggle when he was skillfully slapped by the gendarme.

He was stunned for a moment, and then the gendarme took out a few cheques from his bosom, as well as a small bag of gold coins that he had with him.

Leo took the cheque from the gendarmes, looked at the watermark into the sunlight with great skill, picked out two of them, and returned the rest.

He said to Jeffrey very seriously: "We must be trustworthy when we come out." I said Lao Jie, although you are not authentic, but I can't help but be trustworthy. I took the money. A total of 85,000 gold coins. One is not more, one is not less. You've got it. “

As he spoke, he shook the two checks in front of his eyes. Then with a righteous face, he continued: "Although the money has not arrived in the past two days, if you calculate it carefully, I will still charge you a late fee, but for the sake of the reason, I don't want the money." ”

With that, he turned around, slipped the check into his pocket, and ran to the audience and sat down. She took the popcorn and drink from the hands of Fiona, the beautiful female secretary next to her, and finally lay back, slumped on the back of the chair in front of her, and watched the court trial comfortably.

Lieutenant Colonel Laver also coughed at this time, put on a dignified face, sat up straight, and then continued the interrogation just now, and said: "Defendant Jeffrey, you are accused of using a weapon to attack others in public, do you plead guilty or not?"

Jeffrey said proudly, "I don't recognize it." I am a nobleman, and you military tribunals have no right to interrogate me.

Don't forget Jì, our Plantagenet UA family is powerful in the court. You dead soldiers, you still want to interrogate me? I really don't know how to write dead words~"

The soldiers who were present and listened to the scene suddenly burst into a buzzing discussion. While many of the soldiers were angry, many more had apprehension on their faces—they knew that what Geoffrey had said was not without reason.

And now the civil officials are also extremely strict in suppressing the armed forces. Although it has not reached the level of the legendary 'Ming Dynasty', a perverted process like the legendary 'Ming Dynasty', where any dead eunuch can climb on the heads of military attaches to shit and pee, but everyone is now under the control of civil officials, and this life is indeed not very good.

Laver slapped the table and shouted angrily: "You still dare to roar at the court, press me over, hit~"

Someone walked over. Pushed Jeffrey to the ground, then grabbed the stick and hit him in the ass.

With the sound of 'crackling', Jeffrey screamed in pain.

At this moment, I heard a sound of footsteps outside, and then a voice shouted: "Wait a minute, you are not allowed to hit people~"
