Chapter 901: A Decent Bidding Method
"Okay! Ye Tian, you are really smart, we accept all these conditions, can we start the auction now?"
Ma Ye, who was sitting in the front row, said with a smile, with a little eagerness in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ma, there is one more thing. The auction can start after finishing talking. It won't take a few minutes, and it will be over soon!"
Ye Tian said with a light smile, his expression was very relaxed.
"Okay! You kid is really endless, and there are too many moths, what can we do? We can only continue to wait!"
Master Ma complained angrily, his face full of helplessness.
The same goes for the rest of them, they could only smile helplessly and continue to wait.
"Lawyer Tian, bring the things up, and the rest of the people can move now. Distribute the prepared paper, pencils, and blank envelopes, and make sure everyone has a copy!"
Ye Tian turned his head and said to his lawyer and the service staff of the Beijing Hotel.
Hearing this, everyone was very surprised. They didn't understand what he meant, and what happened?
Some of them reacted quickly, and they already had an ominous premonition, which became stronger and stronger.
"Very well, Mr. Ye"
Lawyer Tian Huafeng stood up and answered, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
The hotel service staff standing in the aisles on both sides of the exhibition hall also responded and took action separately.
The next moment, Tian Huafeng bent down and picked up a transparent glass box from beside his seat, then walked over and placed it on an empty table on the right side of the auction stage.
Next to this empty table is the notary seat where the four notaries are located.
This glass box is small in size, about fifty centimeters in length, width and height. It is square and can be seen through at a glance. The box is empty and contains nothing.
The lid on the top of the box can be lifted, and there is a gap about one finger wide and about 20 centimeters long on the lid, which is obviously used to put things into the box.
At this point, the purpose of this box is ready to be revealed.
And the three big red characters printed on the front of the box,
The 'bidding box' clearly told everyone on the scene the true purpose of this box.
On the other side, more than a dozen hotel service staff each carried a bulging paper bag. They had already walked to the auditorium and began to distribute the contents of the paper bag to everyone.
The things they handed out were exactly the pens and papers and blank envelopes that Ye Tian just mentioned, all provided by the Beijing Hotel, fresh and elegant, and the quality is quite good!
Those who have already got these things can feel the weight as soon as they get them. There are a lot of paper and envelopes, enough to write a lot of content.
Everyone is an old man, and things have progressed to this point, and they still don't understand what happened.
In the next moment, the entire exhibition hall immediately exploded, and the exclamation rang out, and almost everyone felt caught off guard.
"Isn't it? Ye Tian, you boy, don't tell me that you plan to use hidden bids for this auction. It's too dark!"
"Bidding boxes, pens and paper, and envelopes, these things are enough to explain everything! This kid Ye Tian has been calculating us from the beginning to the end, eating us to death!"
"Okay! The bidding strategies we worked so hard to discuss before are all useless, and the coordination work with other competitors is also useless, useless!
God knows what others will offer! Our influence and face won't play any role, everyone's eyes are smeared, and we don't even know who our opponent is!
If you want to win the bid and get those favorite antique works of art, there is only one way, which is to charge as high a price as possible, and use the price to overwhelm others, other tricks are useless! "
While there was a lot of discussion, the eyes of everyone looking at Ye Tian changed again.
Everyone hated each other so much that the roots of his teeth were itching, and he really wanted to rush up and beat him up, making his face full of flowers! It's so hateful!
At this time, Ye Tian was watching the hundreds of excited people, with an incomparably bright smile on his face.
After the discussion had subsided, he said loudly through the microphone:
"Everyone guessed right, today's auction will be conducted by way of secret bidding, which is also a kind of auction method, and everyone should be very familiar with it.
I have also considered the reason for adopting this auction method. The auction is a Western form, not the bidding method that we Chinese are used to.
All of you here are Chinese, and that kind of face-to-face fighting is really a bit disrespectful and not particular! We pay attention to harmony and wealth, so naturally we can't use that method.
I refer to the previous trading method of the antique shop, 'sell goods', everyone bids for the things they like, put them in a closed box, and finally open the bid, the highest price wins!
This method is obviously more fair. In the end, no matter who wins the bid, everyone has nothing to say. Who told you that your bid is not as high as others, and you can only accept the result.
In my opinion, this is the most suitable bidding method for everyone here, and for today's auction. "
Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped back by Mr. Liang in the front row,
"The most suitable bidding method for everyone? Don't be ridiculous, Ye Tian, I'm afraid it's the most suitable bidding method for you kid! Don't talk about 'selling goods', it's two different things at all!
To be honest, have you been guarding us old guys all the time? Prevent us old guys from colluding, coordinating, and using influence to suppress others to participate in the competition!
No wonder you are so generous, you are invited to eat and stay at the Beijing Hotel for free, and let everyone get together to communicate, but you don't interfere at all, and the co-authors are waiting for us here! "
You are so right! How can I let you old men collude to steal money from your buddies' pockets! That kind of thing must never happen.
Although what you said is absolutely correct, you can't admit it even if you kill me!
Ye Tian complained a few words to himself, not to mention how proud he was.
With an innocent expression on his face, he shook his head and firmly denied:
"Mr. Liang, you are serious! How can I bully you, boy, and I dare not borrow our courage! You are all seniors in the industry, and it is too late for me to respect you!
The reason why I chose this bidding method is the result of my careful consideration. It is indeed the most respectable and efficient bidding method at the moment. There is nothing more suitable than this! "
"Stop it quickly! You kid, don't use me to play cymbals. Do you believe what you just said? I don't believe it anyway, and I believe no one here will believe it!"
Old Liang said with a grin, and kept nodding at Ye Tian with his hands.
"That's right, whoever believes is a stick, Ye Tian, you are so dark!"
The crowd at the scene responded, and no one believed Ye Tian's nonsense.
"Xiaoye, I finally understand why you are so hated by people! It's not without reason! You are so calculating, no matter who it is, you will be tricked by you if you are not careful!"
Ma Ye sucked his teeth and said, his expression was rather helpless and a little bit painful.
He knew very well in his heart that he was going to be ruthlessly slaughtered by the kid in front of him today, it was inevitable!
Not only myself, as long as one of the successful bidders counts as one, he will bleed profusely today, and no one will be able to run away!
"Hahaha"
There was constant laughter in the lounge next to the exhibition hall, and all Ye Tian's family members burst into laughter, with tears flying straight down.
"Xiaotian is such a thug! He actually cheated all these people. Look at the depressed expressions of those people in the exhibition hall, it's so funny!"
"It's really funny, but what Xiaotian said is right, for him, casting a hidden bid is indeed the most suitable bidding method!"
