Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Suzuki Tomoko was so excited about eating the melon, "It's not too late..."

As soon as he finished speaking, new numbers popped up on the big screen again.

The host began to quote, "The price for Lounge No. 2 has been increased by 10 million yen. The current auction price is..."

"Is it another 10 million increase in price?" Suzuki Tomoko looked regretful, "I thought he would take the initiative to increase the price increase to more than 20 million."

"As a junior, it wouldn't be shameful if he didn't increase the price as much as Enzaburo." Suzuki Shiro said with a smile.

"The price of lounge No. 8 is increased by 18 million..."

The host reported a new bid. He had been tempered by the previous round of '28 bidding'. He had come out of the nervous state of 'someone was causing trouble while I was working'. Although he did not dare to take the opportunity to fan the flames, he held on to the idea. With a mentality of watching the excitement, it was much easier to quote the price.

"The price for Lounge No. 2 is increased by 10 million..."

Yashiro Enzaburo looked at the auction price on the big screen and felt that Chi Feichi might not give up the bidding easily. After thinking about it, he gave up and continued bidding.

After the ten-second countdown, the host saw that Lounge No. 8 and others did not bid any more, so he smiled and said, "Congratulations to Lounge No. 2 for getting this exquisite and mysterious golden snake statue! This golden snake statue is made of pure gold. The eyes are set with two rare rubies, are exquisitely crafted, and most importantly, are from the seventeenth century..."

Just like Yashiro Enzaburo's previous bid for the jar, the host considered that the auction price had been raised a lot due to the vindictiveness between the two parties. In order to prevent the guests from becoming even more angry, he deliberately did not quote the transaction price, and just praised the golden snake like a , trying to make the guests who took the golden snake statue feel more comfortable.

"Brother Fei Chi spent fifty million more this time," Suzuki Sonoko looked at the big screen outside the window, "Does Mr. Enzaburo have the upper hand now? I don't know if my position has been leaning towards Brother Fei Chi. I don't think so. Brother Fei Chi lost, but I felt that Mr. Enzaburo was bullying the younger!"

"It's because the two parties bid more frequently and for a longer time last time," Suzuki Tomoko analyzed. "Last time, they raised the price by one million each time. Before the transaction was completed, they raised the price almost twenty times in total. These twenty price increases were a long time. It is a psychological game process. The further the price increases, the more likely it is that the premium items will fall into their hands. Therefore, when they increase the price, they need to guess whether their opponents can bear it and judge whether they should stop. During this period, they will suffer a lot. Psychological pressure, in this way, Fei Chi, who asked Mr. Enzaburo to buy the jar at a premium of 20 million and retreated on his own, must be smarter. "

"This time, the number of bids by both parties was small and the time was short," Suzuki Shiro said with a smile. "No one felt the psychological pressure that the game brought to both parties. Enzaburo gave up the bidding and let the things fall into Fei Chi's hands. , that's why you feel that Enzaburo didn't win this game with his own ability. Of course, there are also reasons why you prefer Fei Chi in your heart. However, Enzaburo gave up this time not because he wanted to cheat Fei Chi, but because he didn't want to make things worse. In this way, the auction price increased by 10 million or more than 10 million each time. The increase in the auction price was too great. Fei Chi showed that he would keep increasing the price. He probably considered that Fei Chi might be obsessed with the golden snake statue. He was worried that he would let Fei Chi lose too much and the relationship between the two families would not be able to be eased in the future, so he gave up the bidding and asked Fei Chi to buy the golden snake statue at a premium of 50 million yen. After all, he didn't really want to be an enemy of the Chi family. , and the price is about the same. It seems that he has regained his position, and it will not exceed Fei Chi’s affordability.”

"Let's do the math," Suzuki Sonoko said speechlessly, "Both parties are barely tied, right? Neither party made a profit, but the auctioneer made a profit."

"Yes," Tomoko Suzuki said thoughtfully, "then there should be extra games next, right?"

Suzuki Shiro smiled helplessly, "I still hope they won't be vindictive anymore."

On the first floor, the next auction item was moved onto the stage together with the display cabinet.

In the lounge No. 2, Koshizui Nanatsuki looked at the thick book-like box in the display cabinet. When the host introduced the situation, he cast a questioning look at Chi Feichi, "Mr. Chi, this box is very interesting. Right?"

This is the Montgomery family's magic box and their goal.

So how should we shoot this time?

Chi Feichi looked in the direction of Lounge No. 8 and felt that Yashiro Enzaburo's performance this time was very good. He decided to let Yashiro Yanzaro open the next show, "Wait until others raise the price a little higher before bidding."

On the stage, the host introduced the book-looking box auction item, opened the box with gloves, showed the grid inside the box, and announced the start of bidding.

Because there is a mystery hidden inside this auction item, which looks very much like something made by a certain mechanic, many people present were interested.

And compared to the jars that I don’t know what they are used for, and the golden snake statues that seem to be only used as decorations, such boxes are not like objects that ordinary people would use. There may be a historical story hidden behind them, or they may come from a certain person. The overall value of a large family is higher than that of jars and golden snake statues.

In addition, the host and the appraisal team introduced the special materials and craftsmanship of the box. Even though the appraisal team said that they had not yet found out the background story of the box, nearly one-third of the people present participated in the bidding, and the price was quickly pushed up. To 90 million yen.

When the price exceeded 90 million yen, 90% of the bidders gave up the bid, and the remaining 10% of the bidders further pushed the price to 97 million yen.

Yashiro Enzaburo was worried that the items would be taken away by others, so he asked his assistant to bid using a tablet, and directly raised the price to 110 million.

When the bidders on the first floor saw someone bidding on the second floor, they felt that it was unlikely that they would be able to buy the item. Then they saw that the price had reached the limit they could bear. After thinking about it, most people gave up bidding in their hearts. Only A small number of people are still waiting and watching.

The two families on the second floor who had not made bids were interested in participating in the bidding, but they just didn't wait for them to bid...

"The additional price for Lounge No. 2 is 10 million yen," the host said while looking at the tablet in his hand and making a quote. Seeing that the two companies were facing each other again, he almost had a dumbfounded expression on his face. In the end, he came through long-term exercise. He maintained his professional standards and kept his expression steady, keeping an excited smile on his face, "The current auction price is 120 million yen..."

The two families on the second floor who wanted to make a bid stopped silently with their tablets in hand.

Now the people in Lounge 2 and 8 are clearly fighting, and they will definitely not give up easily. If they participate, they may not be able to get the things, and if they don't increase the price by 10 million or 10 million, it will appear that they have no confidence. Everyone is from a conglomerate family, and they don’t even dare to bid. It seems a bit embarrassing, but if they follow the bidding, if they follow the 10 million, 10 million increase, if the price of the auction item is called 200 million or 300 million, 2, 8 The people in the lounge suddenly don't want it anymore, and if something falls into their hands, they will look like they have been taken advantage of.

So the most important question is how much you want that box.

If you like it very much, you can spend more money to buy it. A bid of about 200 million is within the affordable range, but if you don't like it that much...

New numbers suddenly popped up on the big screen.

"The additional price for the lounge on the 12th is 10 million yen," the host looked at the handheld tablet and shouted out the quotation. He quickly realized that this seemed to be the Suzuki family's lounge. In the end, he failed to manage his expression well, and his face showed Surprised, "The current auction price is 130 million..."

Chi Feichi: "..."

What are the Suzukis doing?

Yatsuro Entaro: "?"

Why did the Suzuki family suddenly get involved?

The two companies on the second floor preparing to bid: "?"

Is it a three-way melee today? Isn't it right? As the organizer, the Suzuki family definitely hopes that the auction will proceed in a harmonious and orderly manner and will not take the initiative to cause trouble, so this is actually a reminder - let the two in Lounge 2 and 8 almost win?

In the lounge on No. 12, Sonoko Suzuki saw the Suzuki couple turning to look at her, smiled awkwardly, and put down the tablet in her hand, "They kept fighting like this, which gave me a headache, so I couldn't help it. Clicked..."

"8...7...6..." The host on the stage counted down according to the auction rules, "There are still 5 seconds left in the countdown..."

Suzuki Sonoko was a little surprised when she saw that the auction price displayed on the big screen was still her own bid, "Hey, aren't they both bidding?"

Suzuki Shiro looked helpless, "Maybe he's not sure what our family's sudden intervention means."

"Especially the little fox from the Chi family, he should be very confused," Suzuki Tomoko laughed, "after all, you added a price to his bid."

Suzuki Sonoko: "..."

She seems to have added 10 million to Brother Fei Chi's bid. This...

Now she went over to say that she didn't mean it, but she didn't know if Brother Fei Chi would believe it.
