Chapter 339 Robot Dog
The average price of a group of king crabs sold in the morning session was about 300,000 yuan. If we go by what Sister Wang said, the price in the afternoon session would be at least 600,000 yuan, an increase of 100,000 yuan from last year.
This time, for such a large quantity, the price did not fall but rose. It was really weird. Xu Dong couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it. Finally, a "colleague" next to him finally explained the mystery.
"Now that food rations are becoming increasingly tight, a new wave of food hoarding has started among the people. Those foreigners must have been affected."

"It's now like this, why are we still keeping those foreigners?" someone said unconvinced.
"So you can't be a leader. Take a long-term view. You think the people above are all fools!"
"It's definitely not a fool, maybe it's the Holy Mother!"
Along with the discussion, the auction in the morning ended. Everyone rushed to the canteen impatiently. They arrived late and all the good food was taken away by others.
Xu Dong did not follow him to the cafeteria. There were many people like him. Everyone carried huge amounts of cash with them. There were many people in the cafeteria, so it was okay not to go.
He took out the vegetable bread and water glass from his backpack.
A bite of bread, a sip of tea.
Xu Dong ate with great pleasure. For him, being full was a happy thing. This was the optimistic character he had developed in his previous life.
Half an hour later, lunch was over and Sister Wang came back with a big smile on her face.
"Xiao Xu, you're at a big loss for not going to the cafeteria."
Xu Dong cooperated and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Today there is seafood soup in the cafeteria, and there is no limit to it. Your eldest sister, I almost drank it all."
"Is it that delicious?"
"Of course you don't know if you didn't drink."
Sister Wang sat down holding her belly: "Let me tell you, although there are no pieces of meat in the seafood soup, there is minced meat, and it tastes so fresh! If I don't brag to you, I can drink this soup for the rest of my life."
Xu Dong understands this feeling very well. In his previous life, he often fantasized about having endless potatoes and sweet potatoes. If this dream can really come true, then this life will be worth it.
Unfortunately, people are fickle.
Within a few days of his rebirth, he developed a serious rebellious psychology towards potatoes and sweet potatoes, which was something he could never have imagined in his previous life.
Xu Dong didn't want to talk about this topic, so he interrupted: "Sister Wang, please check my backpack for me. I'm going to use the toilet."
There were cameras in the auction hall, and with Sister Wang, he felt relieved.
"Okay, go quickly!"
…
The afternoon auction begins at one o'clock.
First, the king crab auction continued in the morning. Xu Dong was gearing up and preparing to win the first group. He had read many novels before, including similar scenes.
Generally in this situation, as the protagonist, he basically strikes first to gain the upper hand. It can also be said another way, it is called taking advantage of others.
After a brief introduction by the auctioneer, the auction officially began.
"Six hundred thousand."
Xu Dong was the first to raise his hand and immediately raised the price to three times, which was very close to the estimated transaction price.
Others looked sideways, and even Sister Wang looked surprised. This man seemed to have a good-natured character, but he didn't expect him to be so courageous.
However, the reaction at the scene seemed to be different from what was expected. The price of 600,000 yuan did not "scare" other people, and everyone followed suit one after another.
"Six hundred and thirty thousand!"
"Six hundred and forty thousand!"
"Six hundred and seventy thousand!"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Xu Dong gritted his teeth and directly raised the price to 700,000, but it still did not scare others.
The bidding continues:
"Seven hundred and thirty thousand!"
"Seven hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Seven hundred and eighty thousand!"
"One million." Anyway, 1.5 million would definitely not buy two sets of king crabs, so Xu Dong simply shouted out a sky-high price.
As soon as the price came out, the scene instantly became quiet. Everyone looked at Xu Dong like a fool, as if questioning:
"Are you here to cause trouble?"
"Is your agent arranged by the customs?"
Perhaps the price of one million was too exaggerated. The auctioneer announced the result directly without too much delay:
"First time in a million!"
"A million times over!"
"One million for the third time, the deal was completed. Congratulations to buyer No. 249."
A group of king crabs were successfully photographed, but Xu Dong was not very happy. Today's task could not be completed no matter what. He could only look at the auction items again. He definitely could not carry the money back.
"Xiao Xu, are you crazy?"
Sister Wang expressed that she didn't understand it very much. This person was like a child who hadn't grown up. He came up with every thought and was not stable at all.
Xu Dong waved his hand: "Sister Wang, I have my own plans, so don't worry about it."
The person involved said this, and Sister Wang could only shake her head helplessly. She was increasingly certain that the person in front of her must be a rich second generation, spending money lavishly, and she didn't feel bad at all.
An hour and a half later, the auction of all the remaining thirty groups of king crabs ended, and the transaction prices were basically between 700,000 and 80, which meant that Xu Dong wasted 200,000 yuan.
After taking the picture of the king crab, Sister Wang’s target red wine was next. This time there was also a lot of it, and it was piled directly into a wall on the podium.
Red wine is no different from other things. It is not easy to price this thing, and most people cannot judge whether it is good or bad. After several rounds of bidding, Sister Wang finally spent 30,000 yuan to buy a box of relatively cheap red wine.
"Sister Wang, congratulations to you."
"Thank you, it's a pity that I didn't bring enough money, otherwise I could have bought a box." Sister Wang said regretfully.
Xu Dong patted his backpack and suggested: "I still have some money here. Do you want to lend you a few tens of thousands? You can just transfer the money to me with your mobile phone."
"Forget it, people can't be too greedy."
Sister Wang thought about it and still refused. This thing is very similar to gambling. She doesn't want to get involved.
"It's really rare!"
Xu Dong gave a thumbs up.
After the red wine auction, the next ones were some miscellaneous items, such as computers, mobile phones, drones, furniture, jewelry, brand clothing, and even antique paintings. It was like a second-hand trading market.
Xu Dong bought two brand-name bags for his wife. The price was not expensive, one was two thousand yuan and the other was three thousand yuan. You know, the original price was tens of thousands.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, just when everyone thought the auction was over, the customs staff brought in a batch of newly stored items.
Xu Dong immediately fell in love with a brand new robot dog. The brand was actually from Boston. He wanted to buy it back for his sons to play with. He could imagine the ecstasy of Dabao and his three brothers.
As for safety concerns, there is no need to worry too much. Anyway, the three brothers can only play when he is present. Just be more careful.
Dabao and his friends are boys after all, and boys should like this kind of cool big toy.
The only worry is that Mark will probably fall out of favor!
The robot dog is not practical. Xu Dong only spent 380,000 to buy it, which is cheaper than the original price. It may also be due to the depreciation of the US dollar.
