Chapter 248: There's an inside story, I'm crazy
In today's auction, the first items to be auctioned are frozen foods and some high-priced ingredients that cannot be stored.
These things are also valuable, a large container weighs about 30 tons.
A container of frozen beef like this can cost over one million, while a wide variety of frozen seafood can easily cost several million. There is even a tuna container that has been auctioned for tens of millions.
Since such items are daily necessities, they can be sold in the market as long as legal procedures are obtained.
As long as the bidding price is right and the quality of the food is good, the profit will be nearly 100% when it is resold, so it's a great deal to grab.
After food, there are things like integrated circuit boards, chips, mobile phones, and large mechanical parts.
Xiao Xingyun waited for half an hour before finally waiting for the auction category of raw jadeite.
The auctioneer said on the stage: "Below are six boxes of jadeite rough. Each box has a net weight of about 10 tons and is a small inner box.
Because the item is of extremely high value, the box is painted green to make it easier to distinguish it from other items. The box is numbered from 1 to 6. When the successful bidder picks up the goods, please pay attention to verify the distinction."
"First of all, we will start the auction from box No. 1, with a base price of 120 million. Each bid increase shall not be less than 1 million, and it shall be an integral multiple of 1 million. Okay, the auction has officially begun, please bid!"
Since there are many items for auction and time is tight, the auctioneer never talks nonsense.
Briefly introduce the situation and let customers bid immediately.
"130 million!" As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone immediately raised their placards to bid.
"150 million!" Xiao Xingyun immediately increased the price.
In order to fish in troubled waters, Xiao Xingyun had to pretend to be extremely interested in every box.
Of course, in order to paralyze Du Hongsheng, he would increase the price of boxes No. 1 and No. 6 several times.
True and false, false and true, muddy the water first. When the price is too high later, Xiao Xingyun will withdraw from the competition early for safety.
After all, the jadeite stones in this box are ordinary goods. Although you won't lose money, you won't make much money, and it will take up too much money, which is boring.
"250 million!"
"260 million!"
"270 million!"
Du Hongsheng saw Xiao Xingyun's crazy increase in price and seemed determined to get box No. 1. He finally no longer had any doubts about the two numbers he wrote.
Yes, he is not a fool, and he has seen too many tricks in the world. It is impossible to completely believe the numbers written down by others.
The conversation between him and Xiao Xingyun just now was obviously a test, and there was no truth in it either.
Seeing that Xiao Xingyun had already chased 270 million, Du Hongsheng couldn't sit still anymore and started to bid.
"300 million!" As soon as Du Hongsheng opened his mouth, he added 30 million.
The reserve price of this box is 120 million. Without knowing the quality of the jadeite in the box, the bidding reached 280 million, which has reached the risk level.
Xiao Xingyun left a small amount of room for price, reaching 270 million. Regardless of whether others pursue it or not, he will not bid again.
Du Hongsheng's bid of 300 million was already within the average price range for large-scale rough stone transactions in the market. The risk involved in making a blind bet on the quality of these 10 tons of rough stone was already very high.
The customs internal bidding price should not be such a high price, even if Du Hongsheng deliberately raised the price in order to scare away other competitors, he should not take such a risk.
However, something incomprehensible happened. There was a Xiangjiang jade merchant in his fifties or sixties. He slowly raised a sign and shouted the price: "301 million."
This price shows that he is optimistic about this box of jade, but he is not willing to increase the price too much, showing a stubborn attitude.
Du Hongsheng was anxious, but he didn't dare to add too much, so he held up a sign and shouted: "310 million."
Another fat female jade merchant came out and said: "330 million!"
The monitor next to Dan Tuo whispered something into his ear. Dan Tuo, No. 65, also hesitantly raised the sign: "350 million!"
The entire auction house suddenly became excited.
This price is too high and has exceeded the normal auction price.
Even the auctioneer hesitated to speak. He raised the hammer several times and put it down gently several times.
"What's going on? Why is the price so high in this jadeite rough auction?"
"It's just that these jade merchants are mentally ill. When they participated in the internal auction of the customs, the price they paid was similar to the large-scale transaction price outside. So what's the point of coming here?"
"Is there any secret information that has not been disclosed? The purpose of participating in internal auctions is to save money, to buy high-priced items at low prices, and to make a lot of money outside. Are these people's brains broken?
"
When the fat jadeite businesswoman raised the price to 360 million, the other bidders finally gave up and no longer dared to raise their prices.
However, Du Hongsheng, who thought he knew the truth, the riddle, and the answer, felt that there was definitely an inside story on Box 1, otherwise there would not have been so many people bidding frantically.
Others withdraw from bidding just because they are poor and have no money, but Du Hongsheng has money.
So, Du Hongsheng raised his sign again, and in the eyes of everyone who was shocked, confused, and puzzled, he said: "361 million!"
Crazy, completely crazy.
Xiao Xingyun looked behind and scratched his head. If he hadn't read the answer to the riddle in advance, he might have been deceived by these illusions.
Today's auction is full of weirdness, which can only mean that many people have got the news and know that among these jade rough stones, there is a box that is particularly valuable.
So, these people are betting.
The higher the price, the more fierce the competition, which involves the herd effect and herd mentality.
I think the others who robbed it fiercely must have gotten the inside story. Box No. 1 is the most valuable one.
When you see how fiercely he robs, you also feel that he has got inside information, so the price he offers is higher than him.
The current price is already three times the low price of 120 million and is 1 million more. There is really no way to raise the price any more.
"Psycho, the price of the first box has been raised to 361 million. How should we bid for the following boxes?"
"Where are you taking advantage of? Isn't it nice to have 361 million to participate in the public auction? There are a lot of open materials and window materials on the public market, and the probability of price increases is very high. This kind of blind guessing auction is the same as hiding materials.
Maybe it’s a pile of scraps outside the venue?”
At this moment, the auctioneer finally remembered his responsibility and said loudly: "361 million once, is there anything higher than this price? 361 million twice, if there is no higher price than this, then box No. 1 will belong to
Bidder No. 87! 361 million times. Congratulations to Bidder No. 87, box No. 1 belongs to you."
Snap!
As the auction hammer fell, the crazy and confusing box No. 1 was finally bought by bidder No. 87, Du Hongsheng.
"Haha, thank you for your acceptance." After Du Hongsheng took the photo of the item, he looked quite proud. He stood up and made a circle, and did not forget to turn around and said to Xiao Xingyun, "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao, this
Brother Ci is one step ahead and takes one box first. You have to work harder later, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it anymore and I'll pay a high price to take other boxes."
Chapter completed!
