Chapter 31 Sellers and Buyers
After Ning Shu got on the boat, he found a position by the window and sat down, leaning against the window, blowing the wind blowing on the Qinhuai River, and squinting his eyes slightly.
Enjoy this rare stretch of waterway.
This is the only time to return to the secular life of quiet, like the scene of the evening breeze blowing by the river of Heian Castle in the past.
He suddenly felt a little homesick.
It's just that after a moment of mood swings, he recovered, and secretly made up his mind that as long as he went to Los Angeles to finish his studies, he would return to Ping'an City after finding and killing the culprit who slaughtered the village that day.
He never killed anyone.
But he wanted to kill.
What is the matter, as long as you can take revenge, it is enough.
As for the Avenue of Eternal Life, maybe it has been the ups and downs of his mind recently, and now he is in the red dust, but he doesn't care so much.
......
......
After a while, the maid on the ship brought tea and drinks, pastries, fruits, spiced pine nuts and other snacks.
Lin Zhi asked while peeling pine nuts: "Wouldn't it be a bit ...... to use your own money to buy what you sell?" Shameless?"
Ning Shu thought to himself that this is not just shameless, just like a beautiful woman who is captivating the country and the city wants to compete for marriage, and the big guy rushes over with great interest to fight and die just to be able to carry the beauty home, but after a chaotic battle, he found that the beauty already belongs, and the person who belongs is the person who came up with the method of martial arts marriage, and the heroes in the world will always have a feeling that they are being played as monkeys.
Yes, it's monkey play.
He took the food and made a gesture to feed it to the monkeys, and when the monkeys gathered in a large group, he stuffed the food into his mouth.
I'm going to be beaten by a monkey.
He felt that his analogy was very appropriate.
Yuan Youtao threw a grape into his mouth nonchalantly, and said lazily: "I have money, who am I afraid of, and they dare to pay more money than me if they have the ability?"
"And this auction is completely closed, let's sit in the private room, who knows who we are?"
Ning Shu once again praised someone's shamelessness.
......
......
Before they went ashore, they saw from a distance that many small boats had stopped, and many people stepped on the huge boat, and took out something similar to an invitation from their arms, and a beautiful maid led everyone into the meeting.
The auction site is located in a pavilion on the ship, which is the largest building on the giant ship, and it is open on all sides. The auction hall is distributed in a fan-shape, and the boxes on the second floor are made of glazed curtain walls with peach centering, so that you can see the outside of the private room, but you can't see the inside from the outside, which fully protects the privacy of the guests.
Not all guests were eligible to sit in the boxes, there were only eight of them, and many more were seated on the first floor, with a platform in the middle of the room, empty on the platform, surrounded by wooden brackets, presumably in preparation for hanging lots such as calligraphy and ink paintings.
The background of the whole platform is an elegant ceramic screen, which paints the daily life of the whole Jinling City, as large as the Jialan Mountain outside the city, and as small as the man who picks up the rice burden in the city, which is vivid, I don't know which kiln master comes from.
Although it is indoors, the air is flowing very fast, and the wind in the river passes through the building, adding a touch of elegance to the elegant and quiet environment indoors.
Yuan Youtao boarded the boat with the three of them, and there was no need to show any identification, and there was already a housekeeper waiting here, leading Yuan Youtao and them to a slightly remote private room.
"Did you tell him?"
Yuan Youtao asked the housekeeper who led the way.
"It's all explained, Yuan Mei pretended to be a seller and mixed on the shore to make a move, but now the group of old guys are enthusiastic, and they can't wait to go back to the house and buy things again. ”
Yuan Youtao nodded with satisfaction.
From the moment the auction was finalized, Yuan Gongzi arranged for people to start publicity, specifying the combination of sending invitations and buying invitations at high prices, resulting in a high-grade effect, and then concealing the content of the auction to give people a sense of mystery, while revealing the wind to attract people, looming, the invitation alone made Yuan Gongzi make a lot of money, and finally let the seller build momentum at the opening to fully maximize profits.
Now it seems that the momentum is quite good.
After Ning Shu and the four of them sat down, the middle-aged scribe walked onto the platform in the middle, and the noisy discussion in the venue gradually dissipated.
The painter was shocked: "Isn't this the kid who shared the news on the shore before?"
The calligrapher Jung frowned, as if he was thinking about something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with some surprise in a trembling voice: "He is the most famous seller in Cheongju, I saw him at another auction a few years ago, when he sold a pair of calligraphy for a record eight thousand taels of silver in the industry. ”
Everyone in the venue is a veteran of all walks of life for many years, and many people recognize the identity of the middle-aged scribe on the stage, and the quiet venue instantly erupts into noisy sounds, different from the previous discussion, and they are all amazed at the moment.
It doesn't matter if you spend a lot of money in the next moment or regret to give up, just the reputation of the middle-aged scribe in the industry and the ability to control the rhythm of the atmosphere on the field are enough for the guests to enjoy a high-level auction.
Yuan Mei stood in the middle of the platform, his robe did not show the slightest wrinkles, and the huge screen behind him was used as the background, which looked particularly solemn, he smiled, calmly glanced around the venue, and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on himself, and he was slightly satisfied with his head, the store was like a battlefield, like a dazzling star, and he achieved this effect as soon as he appeared, which was a necessary ability for him to be a top seller after a hundred battles.
Then he gently raised the small copper hammer in his hand and knocked it three times on the copper bowl on the table.
The sound of impact echoed through the field, and the aftermath was endless.
The first time is to introduce yourself, the second is to be silent, and the third is to start the auction.
As the crisp sound of the third copper bowl fell, the audience returned to the quiet of when he came to the stage not long ago.
Ning Shu naturally understood that the person on the stage was today's seller, and he couldn't help but praise when he saw that he had controlled the situation on the field in three or two clicks.
Yuan Youtao said proudly: "This Yuan Mei is the descendant of my Yuan family, since he was a child, he has been familiar with all kinds of trading and business techniques, and after years of training, he vaguely has the reputation of the first seller of the God Dynasty, how can I not use him when I put on such a big position today?"
The so-called seller, in addition to serving as the main hammer in the auction room, must also participate in the planning and planning of the auction, specify the corresponding tactical strategy, control the scene, enliven the atmosphere, and make the auctioned object reach 200% of its value.
A good seller should be a calm and calm person, who can make reasonable use of the buyers' minds, grasp the rhythm of the whole auction, and understand the emotional fluctuations of all participants in the auction.
It can be said that Yuan Mei has done 60% of the work perfectly before the auction starts, and as long as the rest of the time continues according to the rhythm in his heart, then he is the first seller of the Divine Dynasty.
I saw that Yuan Mei did not introduce the main family to the previous auctions, nor did he say some words of greeting, but spoke directly, and it was difficult to hide the pride in his flat tone.
"Artemisia is full of short reed buds, which is the time when the puffer fish wants to eat. ”
"This is the rain in the valley, when the rain is falling, the five grains and hundreds of fruits are on the ground, which is a good start to the year. ”
"Calligraphy, painting, brush and ink are all elegant, all the guests are elegant, all the elegance gathers, all of them are on the right track, it must be a good thing. ”
"I'm not afraid of you knowing, today's auction is a masterpiece, most of them are exclusive, but also in the former Jinling City, on the bank of the Qinhuai River, the "Yulin Bell" written by the Hongchen Saint, it is not easy to see each other, and today they blend with each other, and they are sages. ”
In addition to what Yuan Mei mentioned on the shore before, there are also some people who are sensitive to information and get the news, and the giant businessmen and nobles in the field made a voice of shock and emotion, this seller praised this authentic work too high, and even the sages told it, but it is not unreasonable to think about it carefully, in the eyes of the world, Liu Zhigui is already extraordinary, otherwise why call it a Hongchen word saint?
Immortals don't see each other, but when Liu everyone is playing Hongchen, they have no less contact with the mortals in the city, the inn where Liu has lived, the Qinglou where Liu has played, the woman who has been praised by Liu, the wine glass that Liu has drunk, and even the Jinling soup dumplings that Liu everyone likes to eat, there are many nobles in the field are from this Jinling city, and they have long regarded Liu as a signboard of Jinling.
It is rumored that when the Liu family left the river, they also saluted the people in Jinling City on the shore.
Such a down-to-earth practitioner.
Such a peerless cultivator.
The handwriting left by such a person.
is still the most famous "Yulin Bell".
Mr. Liu's original work has never been seen in any previous auction.
Not to mention how much understanding of the Immortal Dao is carried in the handwriting of this great cultivator of the Realm of Returning to the Void Realm, the intimacy brought by these three words of Liu Zhigui alone is worth a big price.
Not to mention...... There are so many wealthy businessmen who have been entrusted by their daughters to come to buy them.
The people in the audience looked at the people around them with wary and complicated eyes, guessing in their hearts who would spend the treasure of the finale.
The attraction of the real works of the Liu family is indeed too great, and Ning Shu is keenly aware of the fluctuation of the law and meaning faintly coming from the crowd below after the seller finished speaking.
There are really practitioners here.
Ning Shu turned his head to look at Yuan Youtao, now there were not just the two of them cultivators in the field, and what was originally a worldly event began to become complicated.
Yuan Youtao listened to the atmosphere in the arena getting higher and higher, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and his expression became more and more proud, when he found Ning Shu looking at him, he waved his hand and said: "This is not in the way, they don't dare to cause trouble in the territory of the Divine Dynasty, the rules of the auction house, the one with the highest price will get it, and the cultivator has to spend money to buy things, right?"
"And don't forget, our highlight is not the Liu family's handwriting, I think it will be more convenient and direct to get the root of the Liu family's enlightenment than to be fortunate enough to realize the Tao from the things left by the Liu family. ”
Ning Shu then remembered.
The main course of today's auction is the map in the Luyang Moon Viewing Enchantment.
