Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 60 The Last Lot
"Why don't you shoot this one? You don't seem to be short of money. Don't you want to make Zhen Renxin depressed to the end?" In Room No. 12, Xu Qingyan asked Tang Zheng.
"Because I know that he is only moderately interested in this item. If I induce him to buy it at an outrageously high price, he will be shooting himself in the foot. Do you think he will be so angry that he will vomit blood ?" Tang Zheng said with a smirk.
"How do you know he's just generally interested?" Xu Qingyan continued to ask.
"Haha, this is a secret. Beg me, I will tell you if you beg me..." Tang Zheng still smiled meanly.
In the ten years of gaming gold-earning history, Tang Zheng has led gold-earning groups countless times. What kind of sponsors has he not seen?
He had already developed a set of experience to judge the degree of demand for equipment based on the sponsors' attitude towards bidding for equipment that appeared in the dungeon.
His judgment accuracy is astonishingly high!
Unexpectedly, today, Tang Zheng used this experience on Zhen Renxin.
As long as he opened his mouth to bid, Tang Zheng could quickly tell whether he really wanted the item or was just slightly interested in it.
So, Zhen Renxin suffered a tragedy throughout the entire auction .
Anything he really wanted, no matter what price he offered, would be snatched away by Tang Zheng by always raising the price by one or two taels.
Whenever he was only slightly interested in an item, or just bid randomly to confuse Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng saw through it one by one, and tricked him into buying it at a price far higher than the value of the item itself, making him a fool several times.
Until the end...
Even the item that Zhen Renxin wanted the most was snatched away by Tang Zheng without mercy.
Zhen Renxin no longer had the energy to get angry or yell. He was completely numb and collapsed on the couch in the private room.
Unexpectedly, the armrest of the couch had been crushed to pieces by him. To make matters worse, he fell to the ground in a miserable state.
At this time, the last item was carefully carried onto the auction table.
However, Zhen Renxin no longer had the energy or money to pay attention to the final auction item.
Tang Zheng finally sat up straight after seeing the last item.
Looking out from the white glazed window with a good view, you can clearly see the exquisite boxes being opened on the exhibition stand.
The auctioneer certainly spent a lot of effort in preparing the finale item.
So, when the lot was presented, the auctioneer began to introduce this last lot in his deep and magnetic voice...
"Aoxuefuzhu and Qishuangfuzhu have difficulty reproducing and live in harsh climates outside the borders. Their numbers are very rare. And because of their special talents, it is difficult to capture a pair at the same time. The two sets of deerskins on display this time can be said to be a very lucky coincidence..."
"Among the expeditionary forces of the Tianqin family, a scout team got lost in a snowstorm and mistakenly entered the extremely dangerous forbidden area of the extremely cold ice field outside the border. They happened to run into a pair of Aoxue Fuzhu and Qishuang Fuzhu. This 10-man scout team was almost wiped out..."
"At the cost of all of their members being seriously injured, they brought back this pair of deerskins with great difficulty. The best and softest parts have been sent to the Yaoshan tribe to be sewn into a set of inner armor that is both cold-resistant and has a high star power resonance!"
"Next summer, before the graduation examination of Qinling Academy, it should be completed..."
"Do you want to know who will own this set of inner armor?" The auctioneer deliberately kept the secret, then said, "That's right! The head of the Tianqin family has already given it to the prince..."
There was a gasp from the audience : "Qin Rong?"
"It's such a precious thing..."
"The deerskin that can only be obtained by the heir of the Tianqin family, no wonder only some leftovers can be sold."
However, Xu Qingyan, who was behind Tang Zheng, sneered.
Tang Zheng raised his head and asked him, "What's wrong?"
"Do you know how old Aoxue Fuzhu and Qishuang Fuzhu are?" Xu Qingyan asked quietly.
"Isn't it about the same size as the six-eared white deer we hunted last time?" Tang Zheng answered subconsciously.
"Then do you know how big the seahorses in the deep sea are?"
"..." Tang Zheng was stunned. This time he did not answer the question "about the same size as a snow-covered warhorse".
Because he knows how big a seahorse is!
The size difference between a seahorse and a snow horse is too big. The height of a seahorse can only reach the foot of a snow horse...
Xu Qingyan saw that Tang Zheng was silent and looked at him strangely: "You know?"
"Yeah, this big." Tang Zheng stretched out his hand to measure the length of the seahorse, and then asked: "Could it be... Aoxue Fuzhu and Qishuang Fuzhu..."
"Yes, they are just a little bigger than seahorses!" Xu Qingyan said, spreading his hands.
Tang Zheng laughed out loud without giving any face.
Although every auctioneer needs to have a certain ability to make up stories, the story this auctioneer made was too outrageous!
Two small pieces of deerskin...
Unless the prince of the Tianqin family is still a baby, we can consider making a belly|belly band for him.
Otherwise, it's just hilarious!
“Associating it with the eldest son of a top family can attract ignorant rich people and sell it at a high price.” Tang Zheng nodded immediately.
In fact, no matter how much you think about it, you know that the materials that can be used by the princes of top families to make inner armor, even if they are just a few leftovers, will probably not be leaked to the auction house.
Tang Zheng looked at Xu Qingyan: "You know quite a lot about the world outside Xinjiang."
Xu Qingyan didn't even raise his eyelids: "Mutually."
…
Because of the auctioneer's introduction, the auction venue seemed a little noisy.
Aoxue Fuzhu and Qishuang Fuzhu are so rare that few people have actually seen them. After hearing what the auctioneer said, many people in the audience were like they were drugged, and many of them stood up excitedly.
Tang Zheng held his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "What do you think? Should we tell the truth?"
"If you tell the truth, the price can be lowered." Xu Qingyan replied, "But it is very likely to offend the auction house."
"Well...it can only lower the price." Tang Zheng was not very interested in this result.
For him, price is just a number, and the fact that the price is a little higher is not a concern for him.
So, after thinking it over, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. I don't want to bother. I'll just bid directly."
The starting price for this pair of deerskin was as high as two hundred and fifty taels!
As the auctioneer's hammer fell, bidding for the two pieces of deerskin began immediately.
Tang Zheng didn't wait and was the first to make an offer: "Two hundred and eighty taels... Two hundred and fifty again, that's too bad."
However, as the hammer fell and Tang Zheng made his offer, the audience fell silent.
The starting price of two hundred and fifty taels is too high!
It's a bit ridiculously high.
And with such a high starting price, someone actually followed it immediately, and raised the price by thirty taels right away. This made people feel that something was wrong...
The auctioneer waited for a long time, but found that no one made any bids.
He was so worried about this item and spent half an hour telling the story, but in the end, he was met with a cold reception? !
He asked with a bit of a shock : "Two hundred and eighty taels is the highest price, is there any higher price?"
There was total silence in the audience.
All the private rooms were silent.
"Two hundred and eighty taels of purple gold, is there no higher price? If not, then we will make a deal..." The auctioneer felt like he was banging his head against a wall.
I spent half an hour telling the story, but it only took this little time to close the deal?
What is going on!
The whispers from the audience gradually reached his ears...
"The person in the private room upstairs must be an insider of the auction house. He deliberately raised the price. Zhen Renxin was badly cheated."
"Listen, no one is arguing with him, but the auctioneer is getting anxious!"
"Anyway, this stuff is good, but it's so small, what can we do with it? We can't use it, so we don't want it."
"Look at the people in that private room. Can one person play with me?"
The person in the private room No. 12 was not only considered a shill, but also an incompetent and novice shill.
If the guest in private room number 12 was not an agent, how could he have so much money?
Their words made the auctioneer feel like crying but without tears.
Although he didn't know why such a guest was not arranged in the Tianzi private room, but, their auction house still has some credibility, right?
Although they are not the only auction house on the border, they are also a big auction house. How could they use insiders to deliberately raise the price!
"It's over. We're in trouble now." The auctioneer waited for a long time but didn't hear anyone bidding again, so he began to feel nervous.
He felt that he had made a lot of money from Zhen Renxin based on the previous few items.
But the most important thing is not those small orders, but the last important item he carefully prepared!
The auctioneer continued to wait.
The people in the audience were very cautious because of the dramatic bidding war between Tang Zheng and Zhen Renxin today.
The early bidding for the last item in private room No. 12 made them more and more certain that the auction house was using someone to deliberately raise the price.
"Two hundred and eighty taels of purple gold...deal." The auctioneer had a helpless look on his face and had to announce that this exhibit, which he had high hopes for, was sold for two hundred and eighty taels of purple gold.
"Not bad, not bad." Tang Zheng was quite satisfied with the result. "Only over two hundred taels..."
The servant in the room's eyelids twitched when he heard this. During the peak season of the auction house, their monthly salary was only fifty taels of liquid silver Tongbao. What did more than two hundred taels of purple gold Tongbao mean?
He actually used the word "talent" to describe the price of more than two hundred taels!
"Okay, is today's auction almost over?" Tang Zheng had already bought what he wanted. He just had to wait for the item to be delivered and for the payment to be made, and then it would be done.
There is also an explanation on the Luyi Building side.
The auction ended very quickly. In today's auction, not a single item was lost, and many items were sold at prices much higher than the expected prices. The auction house can be said to have made a great profit.
The curtain on the stage was drawn and the guests were leaving one by one.
Then, a graceful and beautiful woman, holding a booklet, walked into Tang Zheng's private room...
