Chapter 323 Crazy Price Increase!
"Hello everyone."
A person walked out from behind the wall behind the auction table. Under the light, he looked at the crowd of participants with a smile and said, "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to participate in this event." temporary auction!"
Look carefully.
The man on stage was clearly the middle-aged manager responsible for arranging the auction.
"I kept everyone waiting."
The middle-aged manager smiled and said: "I announce that the auction will begin now, please invite the auctioneer to appear."
Finished.
A young man dressed as a professional auctioneer walked onto the stage, and the middle-aged manager also returned to the backstage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning."
The auctioneer first bowed to everyone in an extremely gentlemanly manner, and then said: "Welcome to this auction. I am Li Jun, a registered auctioneer in China. I feel very honored to be hosting the entire auction today." , and I also hope it can bring good luck to everyone.”
"Now, let me announce today's auction rules."
"First of all, we will hold an auction of various types of weapons today. There are a total of fifty weapons in this auction, including 35 swords, 3 knives, 1 pair of claws, and 1 dagger. Thirty-one of them are Bai Forged Nineteen of the ordinary weapons in Qianxuan are treasures."
"Today we will increase the auction. Everyone knows the bidding rules, so I won't say more."
“Next, let’s invite the first auction item to appear!”
As the auctioneer finished speaking.
Backstage, a woman in professional attire immediately walked out, carrying a small weapons rack with a long sword placed on the rack.
"This sword is called Wolong."
The auctioneer pointed at the sword with a smile and said: "It is a thousand-forged weapon. It is not only suitable for hand training, but also suitable for wearing and training all year round. The sword body and the hilt are all made of thousand-forged steel. It is Longquan A well-known forging master in the city used a secret method to create it. Not only is the blade sharp, but the overall flexibility is also extremely good. With a force of over 500 kilograms, it can cut through steel with just one swing!"
Hear the words.
There were some whispers in the auction venue.
It seems that many people are interested in this sword.
After all, although most people come here for the Grandmaster Sword, how many people can afford it? It would be nice to take a look. In addition to those large forces, some individual people who came to the auction alone also We can only look at low-grade swords and ordinary long swords.
"This sword has a base price of 50,000 yuan, and the price increases by 10,000 yuan each time."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, people started bidding.
"Damn it, a sword costs 50,000 yuan?"
He Gaoming was dumbfounded.
"This is already very little."
Fang Qiu shook his head and said: "Long Qiyun's crafting fee is half a million. This sword seems not to have been made by a celebrity, otherwise the base price would not be so low."
"That's true."
He Gaoming nodded and said: "Although the sword is very expensive, the quality of the sword itself is also an important part. If the quality is not good, the price will definitely be greatly reduced."
"Hey, if I had known earlier, I would have learned how to forge iron swords. What are you doing as a detective?"
Fang Qiu was speechless.
Looking at the first row, I saw that the four major families, the public family, and the dozen or so middle-class families had no desire to bid. Instead, they were leisurely enjoying the tea served by the waiter.
On the auction stage.
The first lot was successfully sold, with a final transaction price of 130,000.
"It seems that everyone is blind too."
Fang Qiu murmured.
Immediately afterwards, the second, third, fourth, and fifth items were all ordinary lots.
The four lots added together fetched exactly half a million. On to the sixth item.
The auctioneer's voice suddenly became louder.
"The auction item below is a sword."
The auctioneer made an introduction and said, "Let us please bring out the sixth lot."
Sword?
As soon as everyone heard this word, they immediately cheered up and focused their attention on the auction stage.
"This is a fifth-grade sword!"
After the weapons came on stage, the auctioneers started making a big deal about it.
Apparently.
This is one of the two fifth-grade long swords that Fang Qiu entrusted the auction house to auction.
Hao has no doubt.
The appearance of the first sword immediately aroused many people's desire to compete.
Especially those fourth-level martial heroes who have been unable to break through for a long time are eyeing this opportunity one by one to win the fifth-level sword.
As a result, after some bidding, the price of the first sword was finally set at 1.7 million.
Two hundred thousand more than expected.
Subsequently.
What came on stage were some ordinary weapons again.
During this period, the second fifth-grade sword was also launched at the right time. This time, because it was specially marked as the last fifth-grade sword, the final price was 100,000 higher than the previous one, reaching a height of 1.8 million. .
Just two fifth-grade swords were sold for 3.5 million.
Overall, it was a full half a million higher than what Fang Qiu imagined and the middle-aged manager expected!
This made Fang Qiu very satisfied.
Even a fifth-grade sword can be sold for such a high price, so the big guys who are about to come on stage will obviously exceed expectations.
"Master, you will make a lot of money this time."
He Gaoming whispered in Fang Qiu's ear: "I originally thought it would be great if a fifth-grade one could sell for one million, but I didn't expect it to fetch such a high price."
"Isn't it good to be high?"
Fang Qiu rolled his eyes at He Gaoming.
He was not surprised at all that He Gaoming knew that these swords were his, because He Gaoming secretly took one when they were making swords at the Long family.
That one was the sixth-grade sword made by Fang Qiu.
Think about it.
He Gaoming already knew.
"Hehe, wouldn't it be you who also made Master's Grandmaster Sword?"
He Gaoming asked in a low voice.
Fang Qiu ignored him.
He Gaoming smiled bitterly.
He knew that Fang Qiu wanted to make weapons and sell them for money. He also knew that Fang Qiu could forge swords with breath. But the only thing he didn't know was whether Fang Qiu had forged that grandmaster sword. He still doesn't know until now. Pretty sure.
"The next lot is a sword!"
After selling a few ordinary weapons, the auctioneer raised his tone again.
"Sixth grade sword!"
Bao Jian came on stage, and the auctioneer said directly: "The low price of this lot is three million, and each increase in price will not be less than one hundred thousand!"
Just finished speaking.
"Beep!"
a voice sounded.
The auctioneer stared at a monitor on the auction table. The monitor had a seat map of the entire auction room. Once someone raised a bid, the seat of the person who raised the bid would light up in red, and the seat number and bidding price would pop up next to it.
"Row 61, No. 8, bid 3.1 million."
"Ninety-six row, number seventy-two, bid 3.2 million."
"One hundred platoon, No. 56, bid 3.3 million."
The auctioneer's words kept ringing.
this moment.
Everyone began to enter the real auction competition.
"Master, do you want to stir the water?"
He Gaoming asked with a sly smile.
"I don't mind if you have money."
Fang Qiu said.
"forget it."
He Gaoming smiled bitterly.
How can he have the money? The asking price is more than three million, and he can't afford it even if he loses his pants.
This way.
Fang Qiu had no intention of bidding.
After all, this is the first sixth-grade sword, and the real value is yet to come. If you bid from the beginning, it will easily be suspected by others.
soon.
The auction of the first Grade 6 sword has ended.
The final price fell to four million.
This price is similar to Fang Qiu's expectation. Since there is no big strength, even small and medium-sized forces did not intervene in the fight, so the price is considered good.
Immediately afterwards.
Just when everyone was looking forward to the sale of the second sixth-grade sword, a pair of ordinary iron claws appeared on the stage, which disappointed many people who were full of expectations.
The auction continues.
After selling a few more ordinary weapons.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene had darkened again, the auctioneer clapped his hands and said, "It seems that the distinguished guests present also like the ordinary weapons prepared for our auction. All of them were accidentally sold out. Next, there are only The treasure can be auctioned."
Hear the words.
Many people cursed in their hearts.
What does liking mean?
Auctioning those ordinary weapons is simply a waste of time!
but.
While secretly cursing.
Everyone also cheered up one after another.
The ordinary weapons are sold out, and now all the swords are available!
Now is the time for the real fight!
"Okay, no more nonsense."
The auctioneer waved his hand and said, "Let us invite you to the next lot."
Hear the words.
A staff member immediately came out carrying a wooden sword stand.
I saw the long sword on the shelf in the hands of the staff.
Everyone present was surprised.
Fang Qiu was also surprised.
Because, on this shelf, there are actually two long swords!
"Distinguished guests."
After the staff put the racks on the auction display table, the auctioneer opened his mouth excitedly and said: "You read that right, this time the auction items are two swords!"
"Both these two swords are of sixth grade, and both have appraisal certificates from our Bie Yunxuan team. You can bid with confidence!"
"I won't go into details about the benefits of a sixth-grade sword."
"Now I announce that the base price of this lot is six million, and each increase will be no less than one hundred thousand!"
"The bidding begins!"
The auctioneer symbolically knocked the small wooden hammer on the auction table.
This time.
Some small forces couldn't hold it any longer.
One sixth-grade sword might not be of much use, but two of them would be of great use to some small forces.
"Beep beep beep..."
A series of bidding sounds rang out.
"Seventy-third row, number five, 6.8 million!"
In the blink of an eye, the bidding price increased by 800,000 yuan, and the price continued to rise.
Six million nine hundred thousand.
Seven million.
Seven million two hundred thousand.
Seven and a half million.
After it rose all the way to 7 million, the number of bidders suddenly began to gradually decrease. When it reached 7.5 million, no one even competed.
This scene made He Gaoming, who had been watching the auction the whole time, anxious. He quickly turned his head and stared at Fang Qiu and said, "Master, these people are trying to cause trouble. A handful of six items were sold for four million. Now two The sixth grade is only 7.5 million, so no one will raise the price?"
"Look again."
Fang Qiu frowned.
He doesn't want to encounter this situation, but if it does happen, he would rather not sell this sword!
Anyway, there is no handling fee. If you pay for it yourself, isn’t it the same as not selling it?
