Chapter 457: Lots

"60 gold. ”

Seeing that no one made a move, Jia raised his hand and said.

As soon as Jia Yi spoke, the whole venue immediately fell silent, and they all turned back to see who made the move, and when they saw that it was a mage in the corner, they immediately turned their heads back, as if they hadn't seen it.

Marquish pulled Jia for a moment, "Are you crazy, why do you want to sell? This is what we sold." ”

Jia Yishou broke free: "I'm not afraid that no one will buy it, and 50 gold is too cheap, the cost price can't be reached, even if you buy it, you won't suffer, you see, someone will break the silence and bid soon, I'm just giving them a start." ”

Now the retail price of white paper in the college is about 50 copper, the unit price of these white paper is only 10 copper, how to calculate it is impossible to suffer, the cost price of more than 10 copper paper mills can not reach, if this can not be sold, then he has to consider whether the market demand for white paper is really as big as imagined.

In this auction, the price of 50 gold is not very high, most of the lots are sold for more than 100 gold, and it is impossible to say that they cannot afford it.

After Jia Yi made the bid, I don't know if it was because of Master Jia Yi's identity - he wore a magic robe, which non-masters would not dare to wear like this, so it was a little quiet for a while.

The auctioneer's forehead was already slightly sweaty, and he felt that he had made a mistake, and Jia Yi was also a little nervous, if there was really no one to bid, it would be funny, and he made himself into it.

March was still stealthily squeezing Kaichi's arm, as if blaming him for bidding.

The auctioneer picked up the small hammer and was about to start shouting, when suddenly a voice shouted: "61 gold." ”

"Whew~" The auctioneer and Jia Yi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and finally a second person made a bid.

After Jia Yi exhaled, he hurriedly looked to the side, don't just bid Chester They were funny, but fortunately, this speculation did not come true, and it was indeed the bid of the rest of the people.

Just now, everyone was not actually interested in white paper, there were many people who were interested, but this unit made them have some doubts, how much 60 pounds of white paper is, and how much is the right bid No one has made up their minds, so they were all silent for a while.

The people who come to the auction are all adults, and there is no need to be impulsive, otherwise they will be laughed at by their peers if they buy something at a high price. Most of the people here are businessmen who put profit first.

Now some people are starting to bid, because one after another people have calculated the value and have their own reserve price in their heads.

Since the second person bid 61 gold, there is an endless stream of people who continue to bid, and the price of one gold and two gold has risen like this, and in most auctions, no one will burst their reserve price at one time, and the lot will not rise too quickly, everyone hopes to try out the other party's reserve price first, and then quote themselves.

"150 gold. Suddenly, a voice attracted everyone's attention, and the price nearly doubled, and just now shouted more than 80 gold.

"You guys are too slow, it's worth it to win less than 200 gold, so that the addition of one gold and two gold will be added to which day. ”

"That's 200 gold. "Someone can't stand the other party's pretending like this, okay, you say 200 gold, then it's 200.

The price of 200 gold is not cheap, but it is not a loss to buy it, it is just not profitable, and now the price of the white paper in the academy is almost 50 copper, but the price of transporting it here will be higher, and he is almost equivalent to only earning a travel fee.

But at this time it is not over, there are still people bidding, white paper as a kind of fast-moving consumer goods, but it is more valuable when the amount is large, if it is only a small number of a few, everyone may lack the enthusiasm to buy, but after the large amount, the application path is wider, but it is more attractive, even if it is a premium, everyone is willing to accept.

At this time, all the people who have the idea of picking up the leaks are out.

The final transaction price was 256 gold, a very thoughtful number, but also surprised Jiayi, if you use a storage bracelet to transport a few tons of white paper, you can also make a small profit, originally he thought that about 150 gold would be about the same, but he didn't expect that the person who bid 150 at a time activated the atmosphere.

In the following time, the atmosphere of the auction gradually increased, everyone's bids were not as conservative as they were at the beginning, and the expressions on the auctioneer's faces were much more relaxed.

The rest of the lots were not interested, and when they got to the back, there were even several auctions of large goods, as if someone had gone to sea to explore the new shipping route and had to temporarily change hands to raise funds.

Jia Yi is a little concerned, although these people go to sea completely of their own will, but the Valoka Chamber of Commerce has played a very important role in promoting it, if it weren't for Renaud in order to promote sonar, maybe this vigorous new waterway exploration operation would be later, and the participation would not be so widespread.

There are several auctions of magic materials next, and Chester auctioned two of them, which were used as auxiliary materials for his staff, but this auction was mainly for human nobles, and there were not a few magic materials, and most of them were relatively rare materials, which were not widely used, and the collection value was greater than the practical value.

As the auction drew to a close, and the night began to get darker, the auctioneer said, "Next are our last three lots, you can take a break and look at the night in the sea. ”

"Huh~" Everyone instantly coaxed, this is the last moment, and it even whets everyone's appetite.

Although everyone was a little dissatisfied, but at this time they were indeed a little hungry, everyone came to the restaurant one after another, took food and chatted, exchanged the auction just now, congratulations to the people in the auction, but in their hearts they may be thinking - this stupid 13, spending so much money to sell such a thing, is really a model of stupid people with a lot of money.

Of course, there may not be a saying here that "people are stupid and have a lot of money", but this is what it means.

Jiayi and they took food and came to the deck, the night in the sea was like a heavy curtain, only the stars and the moon in the sky brought some light, and then reflected in the sea, bringing out some sparkling waves, making people feel as if they were in the starry sky, and they couldn't tell the difference between up and down.

The surroundings seemed very empty and silent, only the sound of the wind, and then mixed with the noise of the ship, it seemed more and more quiet.

Even though Jia Yi has seen this night in the sea many times, he still feels a shock, as if he is just a speck of dust in the entire galaxy, it seems so small, but he has an infinite yearning for the world above the starry sky.

I wonder if the stars here are the same as those on Earth? Is there really a kingdom of gods among the stars?

The half-time break was short, and soon the auction resumed.

The auctioneer came to the stage and bowed apologetically to everyone.

"Let's continue with the auction, do you know the sketch genre?"

"Sketch?" Kaichi and March looked at each other, wondering if the sketch in the auctioneer's mouth was a sketch they knew.

Someone at the bottom also accosted: "Do you know, a new way of painting, the things drawn are very similar, there is that kind of standing... Three-dimensional. ”

The auctioneer smiled and nodded to the other party, and then said: "Yes, the sketching method newly created by Jiayi painter has swept the painting world, and several painting masters believe that this is a new breakthrough in painting, extending from the inside of the paper to the outside of the paper." Today, what we auction is not a painting of a painter of Jiayi, but a manuscript, a manuscript of sketching and painting skills of a painter of Jiayi. ”

As he spoke, two people came up with a tray, and the auctioneer lifted one of the lids, and there was a manuscript lying quietly inside, still written on white paper.

Jia Yi finally decided now, the Jia Yi painter who has been said on the stage, that is, himself, if sketching and perspective painting are invented by others, the name may be repeated, but now there will be no problems with the manuscript on the stage, this is his manuscript for Gwen, which writes in detail the key points and skills of sketching, as well as the elements of perspective and the concept of no shadow point.

It's just that he doesn't understand how his manuscript ended up in the auction, and it still flows here, thousands of miles away, isn't this for Gwen to recruit someone to learn and help her draw plant sketches.

The people below were all excited for a moment, this manuscript is indeed worthy of one of the last three lots, although none of the people below can sketch, not even a painter, but it does not prevent them from collecting this thing, as the pioneering work of sketching, this thing will only increase in value, not depreciate.

And there is also a great role in making friends with painters, I think few painters will refuse the opportunity to see the real works of the "master", although the status of painters at this time is not as high as that of later generations, but the top painters are still not everyone can see.

Only Jia Yi looked slightly embarrassed, listening to the people on and off the stage touting himself like this, he still felt a little subtle, both a little embarrassed and a little dark.

When everyone was a little quieter, the auctioneer opened another lid: "And in addition to this manuscript, another precious collection is also presented, a newspaper." ”

The auctioneer paused for a moment to give the people below a reaction time: "This is not an ordinary newspaper, but the first issue of the newspaper until now, including the first issue of the first edition of the newspaper, this edition of the newspaper has a very small print, and then it has changed to different printing fonts and styles, and it is already out of print." Great collectible value. ”

Jia Yi and March looked at each other, and when they were in Memphelbeau, they found that some people had already begun to chase the first issue of the newspaper, and spent a lot of money to buy it for collection, but they didn't expect that only a few months had passed, and the first issue of the first edition of the newspaper had entered the auction, although it was just an addition.

It seems that Yanel should be sent a message to keep every issue of the newspaper and build a newspaper and printing museum, which looks like the money should be good.
