Chapter 684: The End of the Card Box
Heath used to think that although there were some rich people in this world, in a place like Vermilion City, even if there were such rich people, they would probably not rush over in such a short time. However, what Heath did not expect was that he encountered such a situation on the first day after he drew the Pokémon card box, and the customer was so direct and straightforward that he said he was willing to pay 3.3 million to buy Heath's card box, which shocked Heath a little.
"Three million, three hundred thousand..." Zoroark swallowed, then licked his lips. He felt that he was very regretful at this moment. If he had known that this kind of game card box could be sold at such a high price, Zoroark felt that he should give up the ignorant novel and turn to choose Pokémon cards that could make him rich. Who knows if he would be lucky enough to draw some very rare cards and make a fortune?
Although these card boxes are only worth 3.3 million, Zoroark always feels that this is not the limit of Pokémon cards. After all, although Zoroark doesn't know much, she also knows that even the same novel may undergo earth-shaking changes due to the publication time or signature. For example, the book "My Gardevoir Has Big Roots" that Zoroark bought, a book signed by the author is more than a hundred times more expensive than an ordinary book.
"That..." Heath looked at the customers in front of him with a bit of a smile, because before he could say anything, a customer had already raised the price to a full four million, which made Heath dumbfounded for a moment. This is four million. Even in a place like Vermilion City where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, four million is not a small number. If it were in Pallet Town, Heath could be directly regarded as the richest man in Pallet Town...
No, it's too arrogant to think of becoming the richest man in Pallet Town with only four million. After all, Professor Oak hasn't said anything yet. Although Professor Oak looks like a Pokémon professor who gives Pokémon encyclopedias to new Pokémons, he actually has a very high status in the Kanto region and his wealth is not bad. His research institute alone is worth a lot of money.
But four million is not a small number. It can even be said that many people will never be able to earn so much money in their entire lives. Heath knows that in the Kanto region, the salary level of some professions may be only three or four thousand yuan. Even if you don't eat or drink, you may only be able to save thirty or forty thousand yuan a year. So for these people, four million is an astronomical figure. It will take more than a hundred years to save so much money without eating or drinking.
Moreover, Heath found that as the news that he had a set of unopened original Pokémon card boxes spread, Heath's place became more and more crowded. Even for a restaurant that had been expanded twice, it became a little crowded. Moreover, the price of Heath's Pokémon card boxes was still soaring. Even Heath himself had not expressed his intention to sell them, but for various reasons it was misunderstood that Heath intended to auction his own card boxes.
"Please be quiet!" Heath was helpless. He could only shout loudly to quiet down these restless card players. Then Heath quickly expressed his thoughts. For a chef like him, these Pokémon card boxes were indeed useless, and he did not intend to get into Pokémon cards, so Heath did intend to dispose of these cards. However, in order to avoid all kinds of troubles, Heath decided to entrust the card box to the auction agency in Vermilion City for processing.
After hearing Heath's words, everyone instantly became much quieter, but then these people began to line up to come and see Heath's card box. Heath agreed, but in order to avoid loss of his property, Heath still took protective measures. Even so, when Heath's dining car was finally idle, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.
"...I feel like my business today is already halfway through before it even starts." Heath held his phone and lay down tiredly in his chair. He had to say that the reward given this time was really too stimulating. Although this thing was of no use to Heath, it still brought him some big surprises.
Heath admitted that he had underestimated the surprise that his card box would bring. For those card guys, this card box was simply the best treasure. And to some extent, there were really a lot of rich people in Vermilion City. Just when Heath shouted for silence, the price had already soared to five million Alliance Coins, which was almost the same price that a tycoon in the Sinnoh region offered him. And after Heath announced the auction, some card guys came over and whispered to Heath unwillingly, trying to reach an evil PY deal.
Heath admitted that he was almost tempted, because the money these people gave was so much that Heath even suspected that there was something wrong with their brains. Although it might seem a bit exaggerated to say this, Heath himself really couldn't understand why someone would be willing to pay six million for such a card box.
"My Arceus... Is there something wrong with this world, or is there something wrong with me?" Zoroark also looked very upset. Six million! Six million! If Zoroark got it, it felt like it wouldn't have to work for the rest of its life, but it didn't expect the trainer to refuse!
"It's not that there's something wrong with you, Zoroark, it's just that you know nothing about the happiness of rich people." Heath looked at the phone in his hand. He had just checked and found that the card player who bought the card box opened a lot of rare cards, so he made some money. So this is why these people are willing to increase the price, right?
What's more, the last time this kind of card box appeared was ten years ago. In the past ten years, no other extra card boxes have appeared, so rare things are valuable.
Heath stretched lazily. He had just contacted an alliance auction agency in Dead Leaf City on his mobile phone. All he had to do next was to hand the card box to them. Then Heath had nothing else to do. He could continue to entertain his guests. As for the money earned from the auction, the Alliance Auction House would pay it all to Heath after collecting a 1% commission.
In fact, the handling fee was not that low originally, but because Heath's card box was very special, he received preferential handling fee treatment from the alliance. This was quite cost-effective, and Heath could save some money.
