Chapter 098: Win-Win
The specific employment method is also very simple, it is nothing more than clicking on it, and realizing an instant virtual video call with the other party through guò 'Dance of the War Spirit', talking about the price, talking about the conditions, and that's it.
There were a total of twenty-two masters who needed to be hired, and they talked to them one by one, and most of them passed after about twenty minutes of intermission, and then, Wen Bin did not enter the venue immediately, but found a waiter, telling him that he had a big deal that could achieve a win-win situation and wanted to do it with their 'Xiaoyue family', and asked him to help inform the elders of their family who were sitting at the auction site or other big people who could talk.
The waiter agreed, turned around and left quickly, and came back after a while, respectfully saluting Wen Bin, who was sitting in the living room with Erlang's legs crossed and tasting flavored fruit tea, and invited him to 'borrow a step to speak'.
Wen Bin smiled slightly, put down the teacup, and left.
The waiter led him around the back of the auction hall, up another staircase to the fourth floor, stood in front of a large door directly opposite, knocked politely, and when he had been allowed to do so, he stepped aside and invited his 'distinguished guest' to enter.
This set of etiquette Wen Bin has long been commonplace in the 'Floating Life Palace', since he can afford the shelf of the 'Floating Life Hall Master' in the past, it will not be rude on such a small occasion.
He glanced lightly at the waiter next to him, and then opened the door and went in as a matter of course.
After entering, the door was closed again.
The room was huge.
It's extravagant, it's luxurious.
The palatial carpet, the noble and elegant plain black desk, the orderly arrangement of the literary jiàn shelves against the wall, the low table with fruit plates, vases and a few scattered literary jiàns, and a very comfortable back chair......
On the carpet near the low table, a few pastel-colored pillows are stacked leisurely.
It's not so much a good place to work as it is a place to stay.
Wen Bin's gaze swept over the interior decoration and fell lightly on the middle-aged man who was sitting behind a huge desk flipping through the Chinese jiàn in his hand.
I don't know what the name of the middle-aged man sitting in such a spacious and luxurious office is, but the first thing Wen Bin noticed was that he was wearing a comfortable and soft nightgown.
By the way, he glanced at his feet under the desk: well, he was stepping on a cotton slipper.
Embarrassment......
This man has used the office as a living room, right?
Wen Bin couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and at the same time, he suddenly noticed that there was a door behind this office.
I think it's the bedroom......
And so on and so forth!
Stop, stop!
"Hello," at this moment, the middle-aged man on the opposite side, who was comfortably dressed in a nightgown, raised his head from the pile of Wen Jiàn, looked at Wen Bin with blazing eyes, smiled slightly, and said with interest: "I heard that Your Excellency wants to make a big deal with our 'Xiaoyue Family'?"
“...... Yes. ”
Although he was very uncomfortable with this kind of occasion, which he did not know whether to describe as 'formal' or 'informal', Wen Bin still tried to adapt himself to it.
The pestle was so embarrassed in front of the door that he saw that the other party didn't seem to take the initiative to greet him, so he found a comfortable chair from the side, pulled it over, and sat down not far from the desk.
'Smack'!
The other man snapped his fingers, and immediately a maid came in next to him, and he asked him, "What do you want to drink?"
"Milk coffee, a spoonful of sugar, thank you. Wen Bin smiled indifferently and said.
"Bring me a glass of black wine. The middle-aged man added as he turned to the maid.
"Yes. ”
The maid bowed respectfully and stepped back.
"I am the 'Xiaoyue Family' Sanling Great Elder, Xiaoyuehua," It was only at this time that the other party stood up from behind the wide desk, stretched out his right arm, and asked with a gentle and polite smile, "Dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name?"
He didn't do that at first, but he wanted to test whether I was good enough for him to be sincere?
"Luo Junhao. ”
Wen Bin subconsciously stood up, shook hands with him and simply reported his surname by name (the image has changed, of course the name has to change, anyway, it doesn't hurt, just use someone's name for the time being~) At the same time, he couldn't help but think so.
"Ah, that's right, teacher!" It was only then that he remembered, and hurriedly shouted in his heart: "You hurry up and hide your aura for me, don't let him discover my true cultivation!"
“...... I have long hidden it for you!" Haotian's lazy and disdainful voice came from under his heart: "Otherwise, you can still sit here? I would have been kicked out by someone~"
“......”
It's good to hide it, and the rest ...... Ignore him!
"So, let's get straight to the point?" After shaking hands to show friendship, the two sides sat down, Xiao Yuehua propped up her arms on the table, clasped her fingers, faced Wen Bin, and smiled slightly.
He looked like a businessman who watched the valuation of goods, neither affirming nor denying, and temporarily held a wait-and-see attitude of capital.
Calm, calm, witty, sharp.
Very good.
At first glance, he is a smart person, and he is the person I am looking for.
Wen Bin also laughed, cocked Erlang's legs, changed to a more comfortable position, and was not polite to him, so he got to the point as soon as he wished, and said: "In today's auction, in the second half, there is a rare treasure called 'Northern Lights Snow Witch's Eye' that is about to be put on the shelves, right?"
"Yes," Xiao Yuehua nodded, a sly glint flashed in her eyes: "What, Your Excellency is interested in this treasure?"
Wen Bin smiled and didn't answer, and said bluntly: "As far as I know, this rare treasure, placed in this auction, has a starting reserve price of only 800,000 emperors?"
"Hmmm......"
The other party obviously didn't quite understand what Wen Bin meant, and when he heard him say this, he hurriedly explained: "Auction, the price must not be too high at the beginning, generally speaking, we will use the price of dozens of percentage points lower than the market price as the reserve price of the bidding items, giving investors the opportunity to speculate and make profits." ”
What a high-sounding reason!
In fact, it should be 'the initial reserve price is not lowered, then where is the selling point in the future?, where is the continuous speculation passion and appreciation space'?
...... But at this time, Wen Bin didn't want to discuss this with him.
What he wanted to know most now was: "I beg my pardon for taking the liberty of asking Your Excellency, what is the actual value of your expectation of this rare treasure put up for auction, and can you tell me?"
Xiao Yuehua was silent, and it didn't take long for her to spit out four words: "Five million!"
“......”
When Wen Bin heard this, he really wanted to 'ha, ha, ha' and laughed three times, and then pointed to his nose and sneered: What is a 'profiteer', it can be seen from this!!
He remembered that when he was talking to Xiaomi, Xiaomi's original words were:
"My father said that he plans to sweep all the rich people on the scene with the high rank of 2.6 million emperors and take it down!"
He believes that Xiaomi is not lying.
Because she didn't have any reason to lie at all.
The reason why Mu Changkun, as the lord of the 'Ten Thousand Wolf Cave', dared to say this, in general, was for two reasons:
First, its actual value should be below '2.6 million emperors', and it is likely that it is only between '2.2 million' and '2.4 million'.
Otherwise, how could he say such a thing with such certainty?
Second, this thing is a rare treasure, although there are many people who like it, but the collection/practical value is not high, and no one will fight for it at the expense of thousands of family fortunes.
Otherwise, Mu Changkun wouldn't have been able to say something like that.
On this point, I believe that the 'Howling Moon Family', as the auctioneer itself, should know better than anyone else.
Therefore, in fact, the real auction estimate of this 'Northern Lights Snow Witch's Eye' should be between 2.2 million and 2.4 million emperors, which is 2.6 million emperors, which is already the top of the sky.
And as soon as he opened his mouth, he said 'five million', which can be described as a bluff, deliberately raising the price, and taking the businessman's treachery and cunning to the extreme.
Five million emperors?
Hum!
I'm afraid you wouldn't have dreamed of this price!
Wen Bin only felt that he was holding a sullen breath in his chest, and he couldn't get out, so he could only endure it.
"Okay, even if it's five million," he took a deep breath, he didn't bother to argue with him on this, and continued to talk about the matter: "Now I have a unique means of being able to speculate it above this price, and the deal I want to make with your family is: if, really in the second half of the auction, I use the means to hype it above this price, I hope that the part above the 'five million' will be mine." ”
"In other words, every qiē is operated by me independently, and the Xiaoyue family does not need to spend any manpower or material resources, just need to stand by and watch, and they can get the ideal income of 'Five Million Emperors' on this treasure in the auction, and I only charge more than this price, I don't know what Your Excellency thinks?"
"Oh?"
Xiao Yuehua narrowed her eyes with interest, "It's a bit interesting to hear you say that." ”
He thought for a moment, and then said tentatively: "I don't know what means Your Excellency intends to use to achieve such an end?"
Wen Bin waved his hand indifferently, revealing a look of 'unwilling to talk a lot of nonsense on this issue', and said: "Your Excellency doesn't have to worry about this, Wen has his own way...... Besides, if the price of bidding for the 'Northern Lights Snow Witch's Eye' is below five million emperors, I won't take a penny, and all the proceeds will go to your family, isn't this guarantee enough?"
"Wen?"
There was a twinkle in the other party's eyes.
"Ah, that's my watchword. Wen Bin was taken aback in his heart: Oops, he said it well, and he almost revealed his real name! Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, and suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly explained: "We prefer to call ourselves by the words of the table, but I didn't pay attention to it for a while, so I ...... Hehe, I'm sorry!"
"Oh~" The other party nodded happily, indicating that he could understand.
"Six million!"
Immediately, the guy was as if he had caught Wen Bin's exposed feet, his eyebrows were raised, his eyes were horizontal, and the fierce face of the profiteer was revealed: "If you can speculate the auction price to more than six million emperors, more will belong to you, if the bidding price is less than six million, including six million, all of them will belong to our family!"
