Cross-border surveillance
Chapter 88 Sitting like a minion
Not many people were obviously interested in the lightning-struck peach wood stake, and there was very little response. After the host introduced it passionately, there were only a dozen or so bidders, and each time they increased the price by ten thousand or twenty thousand, the price increased. The highest person only added 50,000 yuan at once, and stopped bidding after the other person increased the price by 10,000 yuan. He probably gave up because he felt that it was unnecessary and exceeded his psychological expectations.
In the final analysis, it is just a wooden pile. It has not been processed. There is no story worthy of hype, and it is not a work of art. The preciousness is actually just that. If it were not peach wood, it would have a little special status in the hearts of the Chinese people, and there would be a lightning strike. It's a gimmick, and I'm afraid it doesn't even qualify to appear in this auction.
That is to say, everyone present is not short of money, otherwise who would buy a piece of wood and go back? And that thing doesn’t look good.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that they are wooden piles. Most of them are tree roots. It is estimated that they were occasionally struck by thunder after being chopped down, and thus they were dug out and brought here to be auctioned.
Tao An took a moment to look at the bidders. Due to the angle, he couldn't see clearly. He only saw the backs of a few people. He didn't know their identities, but judging from their clothes, they were probably rich people. Star artists and the like, maybe there are also people who are engaged in root carving art processing.
It's okay for such a person to buy the tree stump, and it's also okay to take back the entire coffee table decoration.
When the price gradually reached more than 700,000 yuan, there were only two or three people bidding. It was estimated that they really wanted it and were unwilling to give up, but they were very cautious in bidding, which was only 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan. Still hesitant to bid.
A tree stump, without any artistic elements or hype gimmicks, the price of more than 700,000 is already quite outrageous. If it were not at an auction, few people would pay half of this price.
Although he had never experienced such an occasion, looking at the current situation, Tao An estimated that the price of that thing would be at most one million.
One million, just a lightning-struck peach wood pile, which is not a precious wood. That is to say, ordinary people are not allowed to bring mobile phones here. Otherwise, if the news is posted on the Internet, how many people will scold the wrongdoer for spending this unjust money.
He didn't wait for a critical moment to catch others off guard. When the price was approaching 800,000, Tao An also participated in the bidding, raised the sign on the table and said the number 800,000.
No one handed him a microphone or anything. The voice was not loud, but the people around him heard it, which attracted a pair of stunned eyes, but no one laughed at him.
Am I making a joke? Tao An was a little embarrassed, but he wasn't too entangled. It was because he had never eaten pork before.
After he spoke, a young lady wearing a cheongsam came to Tao An and reminded politely: "Sir, you don't need to hold up a sign to make an offer. There is a tablet on the table, and there is only one of ours on it." For the bidding APP for this auction, you only need to click on it and enter the price to confirm. Your identity information for this table has been set in advance. Your bid will appear on the big screen. Your identity information will not be disclosed and only the actual transaction will be done. "when used"
"Thank you," Tao An nodded and smiled. No wonder people around me look at me so much. My feelings are really a joke.
But it's not his fault. After all, he has never experienced such a thing, and no one around him has bid as a reference before.
No wonder no one made a loud noise in the entire auction, showing off their wealth and shouting about how much they were bidding. At most, they only communicated in low voices, and their emotions were all operated on tablets.
After receiving the reminder, Tao An picked up the tablet, clicked it and saw the APP. Then he opened the APP. The interface was very simple. At the top was the serial number of Tao An's table, 832, which was not a special number. Then there was a dialog box to enter the amount. , and at the bottom are the Cancel and OK options.
Regarding personal information query, there is a submenu option at the bottom, but you need to enter your own ID number to view it. Tao An did not do it, so he entered the price of 800,000 in the amount dialog box and clicked OK.
The next moment, his quotation appeared on the big screen, showing that No. 832 bid 800,000. The host read it loudly, and the words were vague and encouraged others to continue bidding.
It is probably because no one likes to be in the limelight in such a place, but there is no camera or anything specifically aimed at Tao An to show him on the big screen for everyone present to see, but there are still people who are curious about who actually killed him in the middle. , I looked around and couldn't find the source.
As soon as his quotation came out, a few others who were still insisting seemed hesitant. After a while, someone seemed to give up, but two people still continued to bid. One added 20,000 yuan to Tao An's price, and the other added another 10,000 yuan. Ten thousand.
After thinking for a moment, Tao An offered 850,000 yuan.
As a result, the only two people left gave up one of them, and the last one simply increased the price by 50,000 yuan at a time. It seemed that it was the lowest price in his heart and he was making a last ditch effort.
After thinking for a while, Tao An increased his bid by 20,000 yuan, and the price reached 920,000 yuan. Then the last person gave up. The host continued to confuse for two minutes, but no one continued to bid, so he finally announced that VIP No. 832 would bid for 920,000 yuan. The auction of the lightning-strike peach wood that was more than 300 years old came to an end, and there was a sporadic round of applause at the scene.
"Did you get it?" Tao An was a little surprised. He originally thought it would cost several million, but he accepted it if it did.
In fact, it's normal to think about it. No one is being taken advantage of, and no one has any deep grudge against him, Tao An. There is no need to argue with him and bid. The left and right are just pieces of wood. It's not like you can't live without that thing, so why bother? .
The premise is that people don't know the true value of that wooden pile, otherwise the situation will be difficult to predict.
To be honest, Tao An's mood was a bit complicated when he bought this piece of wood for more than 900,000 yuan. He felt sorry for the more than 900,000 yuan. That was more than 900,000 yuan. It was the largest one-time expenditure in his life. Before I don’t know if all the money I have spent over the past twenty years adds up to that much. I feel distressed but also a little excited, because it is a veritable treasure. Although it is not a high-end thing, it can Those who speed up their martial arts training feel a thrilling sense of picking up the pieces.
The things have been taken, so he doesn't have to worry about the follow-up. The invitation has an introduction, and someone will take care of the follow-up. He can take the initiative to contact him within three days, and the money and goods will be cleared by then. But what? , if there is no news from him for more than three days, then there is something to say. He has to bear certain legal responsibilities. The specific responsibilities depend on how to communicate. In short, it can be big or small.
Anyway, at an auction of this caliber, it is not uncommon for someone to maliciously disrupt others.
There are almost no surprises when it comes to what he wants to get, so Tao An also quits the bidding software, secretly thinking that he will have nothing to do next. Things like heaven, material and earth treasures are hard to come by, and two items appear at the same time. The possibility is close to zero. If two things really happen, Tao An will have to wonder if there is some evil hand targeting him.
"This tablet doesn't seem cheap. I don't know if it's disposable. It shouldn't be, otherwise it would be too wasteful." Tao An couldn't help but muttered when he put down the tablet.
Because he had just bid for a treasure from another world that would be of great help to martial arts practice, the idea of another world inevitably popped into Tao An's mind, and then similar information about cross-border monitoring software also flashed in his mind.
With this idea in mind, the icon of the surveillance software from another world that had a mysterious connection with him inevitably appeared on the tablet prepared for the auction.
Tao An was extremely sensitive to this, and he noticed it immediately before the screen went out. His heart skipped a beat and his scalp felt numb, and his whole body tensed up subconsciously.
If otherworld monitoring software appears on someone else's idea product, if it is leaked...
Perhaps his strangeness attracted the attention of the hostess who had not yet left. The other party asked with concern: "This distinguished guest, do you need any help? If you are feeling unwell, we have medical staff here to help at any time."
"It's okay, thank you." Tao An quickly calmed down and smiled. As his attention shifted, actually due to his own subjective thoughts, the otherworld monitoring software on the auction house's tablet computer disappeared silently. , and then relaxed a little.
Seeing that he was fine, the etiquette lady didn't say anything. She smiled politely and swayed away. She was not here to serve Tao An. Anyway, she went wherever she needed him. There were dozens or hundreds of people at the entire auction. A hostess like her is shuttled around.
After she left, Tao An's head quivered, secretly wondering if the surveillance software in another world could only be seen by him? Otherwise, how can we explain the screen that was on before? After all, there is only one bidding APP. The appearance of monitoring software from another world is too obvious. The etiquette lady must have received special training. They are probably all careful people who have eyes and ears to listen to. They should not pay attention to it. At this point, and something new appeared in a specialized item that originally only had a built-in APP, it would be unreasonable for her not to be alert, right?
"Did she ignore it and not notice it, or did I cancel it too quickly and didn't notice it?"
Tao An is still a little confused about this. If he thinks about it carefully now, he probably realizes that more than 80% of the other world monitoring software can only be seen by himself, even if he has not verified this before, mainly because Don't dare to verify for fear of exposure.
If he wasn't the only one who could see it, he really couldn't let go that the cross-border software had appeared for so long without attracting anyone's attention. After all, no matter how cautious he was, he had repeatedly peeked into other worlds around familiar people.
"Now there is a high probability that only I can see this thing. Although the principle is not clear, just like its existence itself cannot be explained, it can be verified a little bit." Tao An had a suspicion in his mind.
He has thought about how to verify it. Occasionally, he will show the picture of the other world in front of the relatively trusted people. If others can't see it, he will confirm his own guess. Even if they can see it, it doesn't matter. It's just a picture. It's not like he has that kind of brain. The hole can connect to that is actually another world...
While he was pondering these things, the auction was still going on. One item after another was presented for auction, but the items did not arouse his interest, so he did not pay much attention to them.
None of these items are as precious as the blue and white porcelain piece from Hot Spot, and the response was not that good. One or two items even failed to be auctioned, namely a Phantom and a multi-million villa. I don’t know if the failed auctions were because of the money. People don’t like to use things that others have used, or they may have some concerns.
After more than an hour, around 9:30, the host asked someone to present an auction item, which triggered a fierce bidding. It was a wild ginseng that was more than three hundred years old.
This kind of thing is already a rare treasure in today's society. Rich people are probably afraid of death. That thing can kill someone at a critical moment, so after a fierce competition, the price was actually 2,400 yuan. The terrifyingly high price of 10,000 yuan is simply too much money to burn.
To be honest, Tao An is a little excited about that old wild ginseng tree. Although it is not among the treasures of the other world, it is still a rare and precious medicinal material. It can be used in many other world prescriptions to make elixirs. Du Qingfeng and the others Master-disciple exchanges are often mentioned.
However, the price was too expensive and Tao An couldn't afford it. It was useless to covet it. Even if it was not needed at the moment, dry chewing was of little significance to his own martial arts training.
Unless it is more than a thousand years old, it is a treasure of heaven and earth, and it is very valuable in other worlds. It can be treated with special methods and is of great help to martial arts practice. But don’t even think about wild old wild ginseng that is thousands of years old. Earth There are probably some around the world here, but I don’t know which corner it is in. It has not been discovered before, and the possibility of being discovered later is almost zero.
With the end of the Laoshan ginseng bidding, it was a small climax.
So the host announced an intermission to relax everyone's mood.
Of course, the intermission is not just for everyone to sit around. Entertainment programs and other entertainment programs are naturally arranged. The ladies singing and dancing are very pleasing to the eye. In addition, I guess they have communicated in advance, and there are several celebrities on the scene to present the program. .
Just to watch the intermission performance, even if he didn't bid for the peach wood stake, Tao An's coming here was already worth the price of admission. Well, having said that, he seemed to be prostituted for free...
During the intermission, while singing and dancing, the organizer of the auction was also busy with other matters. Probably for the effect of the show, a huge glass tank was placed in the front, as big as an aquarium. , three to four meters high, not only has ornamental fish, but also exquisite decorations, and there are two 'mermaids' in it, with incredible figures, two 'mermaids' are swimming and playing in the water under the carefully designed lighting effects. It's dizzying, and maybe they will appear on someone's 'chopping board' after the auction.
After about half an hour of various stress-relieving programs, at about ten o'clock, the host came on stage again and the auction continued.
At the beginning of the second stage, there was a relative finale auction. It was a hot spot. It was normal, and it was more precious than the hot auction items in the first stage. It was a set of imperial green jade jewelry, and then the people at the scene were simply ' It's crazy. Many people in the private rooms couldn't help but bid. As for who the people in the hidden private rooms were, it was unknown.
Tao An was not interested in this and was happy to watch the excitement. He focused more on the two mermaids in the aquarium. The organizer did not remove the aquarium.
The two 'mermaids' are above eight points in stature and appearance. It is a rare opportunity for Tao An. After all, they are watching live, not short videos on mobile phones that have been carefully photoshopped. Usually these 'mermaids' belong to the rich. Most people don’t have that kind of eye for personal belongings...
The set of imperial green jade jewelry at the hot spot included rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, hairpins, and even an anklet. It was made with master craftsmanship. I don’t know if the organizer had come up with a complete set. In short, a group of people went crazy. After fierce bidding, the final price was nearly 50 million!
Such a price is simply exaggerated to Tao An. It's only one stone. No matter how beautiful it is, it's useless. Well, that's all he has.
But rich people don't think so, and they don't feel sorry for tens of millions of dollars at all. For them, in addition to looking good, they also have the idea of investing to preserve value, and then they can show off in front of their friends, and then Isn't it easy to hook up with girls?
Just ask how many girls can bear the cost of tens of millions of dollars. Even if they try it on, take a photo, and then post it to sleep in vain, they will be happy.
Things after the hot stage are much more ordinary, but on average they are better than the first stage. Occasionally, there will be hot items that cause people to bid fiercely.
The second stage was not as long as the first stage. It only lasted for forty or fifty minutes. The organizers only took out seven or eight auction items. The finale of this stage was an ancient jade, which seemed to be the best. I don’t know if the jewelry of a well-known figure in the Tang Dynasty is real or fake. Anyway, it was auctioned for a high price of more than 30 million yuan. The first one was jade jewelry, and this one is ancient jade jewelry. It can be said that it has a beginning and an end.
Then it was halftime again, almost eleven o'clock.
Tao An was extremely depressed. When will his Baihualu come on stage? The organizers won’t forget it. After all, the third stage is coming to an end, and his Baihualu is qualified to appear in the final stage. ?
Anyway, Tao An couldn't figure it out, but he guessed that the organizer had his own ideas.
The two 'mermaids' in the aquarium also suffered a lot. They swam for more than an hour, and I don't know how much money the organizer paid.
Anyway, the end of the second stage is the intermission, with singing and dancing, and the real big names are on stage to perform. Celebrities make money, so they don’t have to be embarrassed, but that’s not necessarily the case. In this kind of occasion, almost all celebrities are celebrities, and even if they don’t pay, they will Want to show your face? If it attracts the attention of a certain funder’s father, then it won’t be a big deal...
While Tao An was bored, the third phase was finally about to begin. It was almost half past eleven. He estimated that the auction would end in the early morning, but the subsequent items would definitely be the finale items, and the quantity would not be too much. , that’s when people go shopping.
But when he thought that his white flower dew would actually appear in the final stage, he felt quite magical.
On second thought, it wasn't right. Maybe the organizer didn't plan to hold an auction at all, but it was indeed in the brochure.
Anyway, after signing the contract, if the organizer really resorts to taking money and not doing anything, Tao An will have to ask for an explanation.
At the same time, outside the auction house, a black business car drove up. Jiang Jinyu finally made it here from the Magic City. After several hours of wandering around, she actually still had time to dress up carefully.
She put on light makeup, her long hair was tied up and tied with beautiful wooden hairpins. She wore a blue and white porcelain-like short-sleeved cheongsam, which fully showed off her figure curves. The slit was not high, so At the knee position, the graceful legs under the cheongsam are also wearing gray stockings and a pair of exquisite high heels.
Such Jiang Jinyu is elegant and noble, like a beauty in a painting from the history of the Republic of China. This is a bit unreasonable. On her body, she can easily control any style of dress, and she is directly in peak condition. In front of her, a person who can Not even a fight.
In the car, Jiang Jinyu was talking on his mobile phone and said: "Mr. Jiang, I'm here, come out to pick me up."
Her tone was a bit harsh and her attitude was obviously bad. When she spoke, even though it was her brother who was opposite her, her eyes still had a bit of murderous intent.
Jiang Hechuan on the other end of the phone was in a dilemma. He had no place to provoke his sister, so why was he acting like an enemy? And are you asking for help?
‘I must have offended my sister somewhere, otherwise she wouldn’t be like this, but where did I offend her? I don't know.' Jiang Hechuan was speechless. He was not stupid. His sister's attitude must be because the problem was with him, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it.
"Immediately," Jiang Hechuan replied, regardless of why his sister had such an attitude, let's arrange for her first. She is the baby of the family. The family is usually very good, but I don't know what is going on right now. , um, pick it up in person.
The brother and sister soon met.
Seeing his sister's outfit, Jiang Hechuan was a little dumbfounded and said: "Sister, what's going on with you? You dress up and go out, you have so much power, do you still want to live with others?"
"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way." Jiang Jinyu raised his chin slightly and said, showing no face to his elder brother and clearly showing emotion.
Jiang Hechuan had no choice but to lead the way and entered through a special passage. He was helpless and said: "Xiaoyu, tell me if I have offended you in any way. Let me understand clearly. I have no idea what you are doing. Even if you are... To convict a prisoner, there must be a crime, right?"
"I don't want to talk nonsense with you now, Mr. Jiang. We'll settle our accounts later. The auction isn't over yet, right?" Jiang Jinyu said with cold disgust.
This is his own brother. He did things that exceeded his bottom line just to show off. If it had been anyone else, Jiang Jinyu would have let him know what cruelty is!
Jiang Hechuan was helpless and said: "No, it's almost time for the finale. Okay, you can kill or scrape as you please, but the premise is that there must be a reason that convinces me. If it's unreasonable, my parents will I don’t need to be afraid of you if you criticize me.”
"Hmph~!" Jiang Jinyu snorted coldly, as if you don't expect me to let you go easily if I'm angry.
The secretary behind Jiang Jinyu is pretending to be an ostrich while drinking wine. If you gods fight, please don’t bring disaster to me, a fish in the pond.
Soon the group entered the private room. Jiang Jinyu came to the single-sided glass without leaving a trace, looked around, and said, "I remember that in addition to the private room for such an auction, the organizer will also arrange seats in the hall, right?"
"Of course, I just like peace and quiet. Many people still like to watch auction items bidding up close. What they want is the atmosphere," Jiang Hechuan replied.
Nodding, Jiang Jinyu looked at him and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Jiang, why are you still here? I don't have anything to do with you. You can go home. Leave the invitation!"
"Ah? Shall I leave? No, little sister, you are just trying to kill the donkey, okay?" Jiang Hechuan was dumbfounded.
Jiang Jinyu said, "Mr. Jiang, aren't you happy?"
"Okay, I'll go." Jiang Hechuan couldn't laugh or cry. He raised his hands to express surrender, shook his head and turned to leave. Anyway, he was just here to go through the auction. If his sister wants to play, let her play. It's not a big deal.
Then he secretly thought about it, his sister's reaction today was a bit abnormal, what was the problem, that photo?
"!"
He was not stupid, and he quickly thought of the crux of the problem. When he was about to go out, he subconsciously stopped and looked back at his sister. He thought to himself, no, right? Is this a mistake?
Then it suddenly dawned on him. No wonder his sister was so emotional. No wonder she dressed up and rushed back from the Magic City. The problem was in that photo. Maybe by some strange combination of circumstances, he had captured his sweetheart. The probability is more than 80%, but she repeatedly told herself not to investigate. This is simply touching her sister's bottom line!
'Let's go, hurry up, go far away, no, I have to stay away and arrange a plane to run away immediately, otherwise my sister will have to scratch me alive afterwards.' Jiang Hechuan, who wanted to understand the key to the problem, felt his heart skip a beat. He immediately planned to run away without any hesitation.
It's not that he's afraid of this sister, it's mainly because he's at fault first, especially when it comes to emotions. It's scary for a girl to get angry.
Don't tell me, if it's true, my sister has quite good taste...
After Jiang Hechuan left, Jiang Jinyu and her secretary Qujiu were the only ones left in the private room.
Then Jiang Jinyu quickly changed his expression. He didn't look cold at all. Instead, he put on a bright smile, his eyes were watery, with a trace of expectation and uncontrollable excitement.
She stood gracefully in front of the single-pane glass window, wearing a cheongsam. From the back, she looked like a blue and white porcelain vase, a perfect masterpiece that would be difficult for any master to carve.
Jiang Jinyu couldn't sit still after receiving the photo sent by his brother a few hours ago. He was worried that he had no chance or reason to approach the pig. This was why he was angry. His brother actually forgot his warning to investigate the pig, and even Can you bear to send photos to stimulate yourself?
But at this moment, Jiang Jinyu didn't have time to dwell on his brother's 'sin'. He looked around for Tao An, but there were too many people and he couldn't find him at all.
Don't leave because you arrived too late.
Feeling anxious, Jiang Jinyu took out her phone and opened the photo Jiang Hechuan sent her. She compared the angle and reference objects. Soon she saw the longing figure in the corner.
"You are indeed here." Jiang Jinyu's beautiful eyes lit up and she suddenly became excited. Then she curled her lips slightly and snorted silently in her heart, because she followed Tao An's gaze and saw the other things in the aquarium. Two 'mermaids' performing hard.
Men are all big pigs, so what’s so good about them? Are they as good-looking as me?
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Jinyu thought for a while and said, "Xiao Jiujiu, I plan to go to the lobby to have a look, and then you guys go back first."
"Ah?" Qu Jiu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then said in shock: "But Mr. Jiang, what will you do if we leave?"
"Don't worry about me, I have my own arrangements," Jiang Jinyu shook his head and said in a gentle tone, but with a bit of unquestionable flavor.
But Qujiu was still hesitant and said, "Mr. Jiang, what should I do about your safety?"
"Can I still be bullied?" Jiang Jinyu looked at her with an expression like "Do you think I look like a weak woman?" and wondered, thinking that there is something wrong with being blind. If the pig makes a little movement, he will still Can you turn a blind eye?
Qu Jiu didn't dare to go against the boss's arrangement, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay then, Mr. Jiang can call you anytime if anything happens."
After Qujiu left, Jiang Jinyu picked up the invitation left by his brother, looked at the location of the lobby above, and then left the private room. There were people arranged by the organizer outside the door to serve at any time, so he didn't worry about not being able to find him. Location.
Although the organizer invited her brother, both siblings actually got the same invitation, and I have to admit that she, Jiang Jinyu, is more famous than her brother in this circle in some respects. The organizer Of course I know her, so what kind of business can I do if I don’t have the eyesight to see her?
Jiang Jinyu's move to the hall at this time did not seem abrupt, because the finale was coming soon, and many people in the private rooms were heading to the hall to bid for the finale items at close range.
In the hall, Tao An was waiting boredly for the third stage to begin, wondering when his Baihualu would come on stage. Then he suddenly realized that the atmosphere in front of him was not right, and there was a commotion.
The finale of the third stage hasn't started yet. What are those people excited about?
Tao An was puzzled and looked over there subconsciously, then his expression was stunned and his heartbeat could not help but slow down by half a beat.
He saw Jiang Jinyu's figure at a glance. He couldn't help it. She was dazzling. Everywhere she went was like a spotlight. It was difficult not to notice. And wherever she passed, she was the focus of everyone's attention. Everything seemed to be overshadowed.
"The monitor is really here?" At this moment, Tao An couldn't tell whether he felt surprised or surprised, but he was definitely amazed by Jiang Jinyu's outfit.
I'm not surprised. After all, it's normal for Jiang Jinyu to appear on such occasions. If he didn't appear before, he must have looked down on those things before.
"Would you like to go up and say hello?"
After hesitating for a while, Tao An still didn't make such a move. It was too conspicuous. Didn't he see that the people around the squad leader were too embarrassed to come forward? The two guys didn't know whether they were pretentious or thought they knew her. As a result, the squad leader After two sentences that were neither salty nor bland, he retreated in despair.
It's a pity that I don't have my phone with me, otherwise I could have sent a message.
After calming down for a while and facing his own heart, Tao An no longer struggled. He planned to take the initiative if he had the opportunity. Today's 'accidental encounter' with Jiang Jinyu was a good opportunity, but such an occasion prevented him from giving in immediately. action.
At this moment, Jiang Jinyu, who had taken one of the seats at the front, was also very troubled in his heart. The pig must have seen him, but he didn't send a message to say hello? He probably couldn't bring his cell phone in, and he couldn't just turn around and wave in his direction in front of everyone. What should he do? Could he just miss it like this?
No matter how much commotion Jiang Jinyu's appearance caused, no matter how she and Tao An felt, the third phase of the auction was not affected and started as scheduled when the time came.
This is already the finale. The first thing that appears is a treasure. A calligraphy and painting provided by a certain collector is an authentic work of Tang Bohu, but it is an early work among them. I don’t know how much effort the organizer has spent. Just got it for auction.
Tao An has not done any research on this aspect, and he doesn't know if something of this level can be auctioned. Anyway, since it appears here, it should be legal, right?
Anyway, he couldn't afford it, so he just looked at it as a curiosity. Even Tao An was a little absent-minded, and his attention was more focused on Jiang Jinyu's back. Unfortunately, there were too many people, and it was difficult to even look at his back.
The calligraphy and painting that was the highlight of the show triggered a burst of fierce bidding as soon as it came up. Tao An didn't pay much attention to the final price, because before the curtain came down, he saw the monitor in front of him leaving the table.
"What did the squad leader do?" Tao An's eyes followed Jiang Jinyu's figure, and he didn't even notice that his every move was affecting his mind.
Of course Jiang Jinyu didn't leave without reason. Naturally, she didn't care much about the auction items. Instead, she saw Tao An's figure occasionally photographed on the big screen. Isn't this an excuse? Xi pretended to go to the bathroom, and then turned in the direction of Tao An.
As Jiang Jinyu's figure left his sight, Tao An hesitated to go up and say hello, but at this time, the second auction item was about to begin, but he stopped because the next step was to entrust him to send it to the auction. of white flower dew.
I saw that the white flower dew was placed in a delicate tray covered with silk and placed on the exhibition stand. The multi-angle shots were displayed on the big screen, and the big screen even specially broadcast the aquarium picture.
Then the host said: "Dear guests, many of you may be wondering why we have an aquarium on the side of this auction that has never been taken down. Now it is time to unravel the doubts in everyone's mind. Why is this? The arrangement is because the aquarium is related to our next auction item."
When she said this, everyone was surprised. How could feelings be like this?
Tao An himself was surprised, but he soon realized something. He had to admit in his heart that the auction house is professional. You can say a thousand words and ten thousand, no matter how fancy you say it, there will be no direct effect. Reality?
Although he does not have a photographic memory, Tao An carefully recalled the two 'mermaids' in the aquarium at the beginning. It is undeniable that their skin was indeed fairer and more delicate, and they had not been soaked in the water for a long time. That kind of paleness.
The host did not show off and continued: "Then let me introduce the next auction item. It is actually a skin care product for bathing. Without further ado, let's just look at the effect. Photographer, here Close-up, please take a look, the water in the aquarium is added with this kind of skin care product. Please pay attention to the two models inside. This is a real record of the situation when they first entered the water. Look at their skin, especially one of them, She also has tattoos. We can provide a true record of her tattoos, and the picture here is their current situation. In just about two hours, everyone can see the changes in their skin. It’s useless no matter what I say. , the key is that the tattoo faded by almost half, and then disappeared directly from the skin. There is no need to spend a lot of money to wash, maintain and repair it. This effect is the same for pigmentation and even birthmarks on the human body... , please note that this is not an advertisement, but an introduction to the auction item. In addition, the effect of this auction item is more than that. Use it five times as a course of treatment, one time for whitening, two times for freckle removal, three times for scar removal, and four times. Stable effect, five times can make the body emit a unique body fragrance, the effect is long-lasting, which is good news for women, no surgery is required, the effect is natural, and this auction item also has the same effect on private parts..."
At this point, the host paused and then said: "I want to make it clear here that originally there were two pieces of this skin care product, but in order to intuitively show its effect, we specially used one piece this time. That is to say , now there is only one piece left, and it is currently impossible to buy it on the market. Youdao is that beauty is a weapon made by women. So whether you want to sharpen the weapon in your hand depends on whether you want to get this skin care product next. Okay, is there anyone who plans to be the first to experience this unique skin care product? The starting price is 30,000, with no upper limit. Dear distinguished guests, let’s get started!”
Seeing the organizer's operation, Tao An was a little dumbfounded. It was so damn good. Originally there were two bottles, but now there is only one left. It's unique. It shows the effect intuitively. When introducing the key, he mentioned privacy. The same goes for the parts. How attractive is this to girls who love beauty, especially girls who are "pursuing"?
After the host finished speaking, there was a brief silence. Then the girls started bidding like crazy. Within two minutes, the price reached 500,000 yuan, and the price was still increasing. They couldn’t stop at all. Come down!
Who here is short of money? Life is valuable, and beauty is priceless. Beauty is a girl’s greatest asset, and having enough capital can bring her greater wealth.
Faced with this kind of miraculous skin care product that has instant effects, how many girls can resist the temptation? It should be noted that girls can be cruel to themselves for the sake of beauty.
And girls love beauty, so men don’t want their women to be beautiful? When the wind blows in his ears, a man can't resist it.
Looking at the rising prices, Tao An felt a little numb. By the way, how much does Baihualu cost?
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came to Tao An. Tao An was stunned and said bluntly: "Hello, Mr. Tao, I am from the organizer of the auction house. You have also seen the current situation. I I think we need to communicate.”
Probably guessing the purpose of the other party's visit, Tao An nodded and said: "Please tell me."
"Well, Mr. Tao, it's like this. You entrusted us to help auction two bottles of white flower dew. We here are also better considering the price of your products, so we used a bottle of your entrustment. At present, It seems that our arrangement is correct. Based on this, it is not a violation on our part, and when signing the contract, you also promised that we can carry out product use and promotion with a certain degree of autonomy on the premise that we protect your interests. I wonder if you agree with this?" The visitor patiently explained to Tao An.
Recalling the general content of the contract, Tao An nodded and said: "I don't have any doubts."
"That puts us at ease, Mr. Tao, I won't disturb you, and we'll have a pleasant cooperation." The other party stood up and smiled.
The other party came to Tao An for a brief communication and then left. Tao An also understood the other party's behavior. Although they did grant them certain rights to use and promote independently when signing the contract, they did not say to use one bottle, but what? , in such a big aquarium, they had to use more in order to maximize the effect, so that even one bottle was used up. It was still necessary to explain it to Tao An.
In fact, the organizer did not have such a plan at the beginning, but added it temporarily. They had not communicated with Tao An before, so they made the same trip, even if they did not make this trip, after all, what they did was within the scope of the contract. Internally, insisting on filing a lawsuit is just a nonsense.
Tao An didn't have much objection to this. After all, it was a win-win situation.
After the man left, Tao An focused his attention on the auction of Baihualu again, his eyes flickering thoughtfully. I am afraid that this matter is not over yet, and the auction house may come to him in the future, because once Baihualu is sold, And if it is red, you can establish a long-term cooperative relationship.
This kind of skin care product is different from jewelry and antiques. It can be supplied for a long time, which is equivalent to having a relatively stable source of income. People with some brains will naturally find ways to seize this opportunity. As for the subsequent cooperation, it depends on the final outcome. The transaction price is reached.
Realizing this, Tao An estimated that he would use the auction price as a reference, and then put his own price on Baihualu and sell it online. Firstly, it is to maximize profits, and secondly, not many people are willing to spend how much money online. One hundred thousand dollars to buy a skin care product?
As for Tao An personally, once Baihualu becomes famous because of today, only by having this thing in his hands can he maximize his own benefits. However, how many people in the world who eat alone will have a good end? Putting aside this point, cooperation can only be a win-win situation. He provides the product, gets the big deal, and avoids the trouble of doing it himself. As for the partner, with this kind of thing that he has and others don’t have, he can further expand his business and maximize the benefits. Chemicalization, and the value of white flower dew itself is not worth mentioning, unless it is the complete formula and process...
Under the operation of the organizer, the price of a bottle of white flower nectar has soared to nearly one million. It shows how crazy you are for beautiful girls, or how soft the ears of men who are not short of money are. It should be noted that this thing is not It is a necessity for life and survival, and no matter how good or miraculous the effect is, it will only last for a period of time. It is a matter of three to five months. If you do not take good care of yourself in the future, you will get worse if you are exposed to the sun, overwork, etc. If you want to change You have to use it again when you come back.
But in the end, this thing is just a consumable. No matter how crazy you are for a beautiful girl, you still have a temper. When the price reached one million, everyone gradually calmed down. There were very few people who continued to bid. Tao An estimated that the final transaction price was also Just over a million.
This has far exceeded his psychological expectations. Originally, he thought a hundred thousand was good.
Before this, there have been several items sold for over ten million dollars at this auction. One million is really inconspicuous, but don’t ignore one thing, that is, it is just a bottle of white flower dew, and in Tao An’s hand There are still dozens of bottles left.
Of course, what he has in his hand cannot be measured by the auction price. In this case, the price is an inflated price, the result of people taking advantage of it. However, even if the price is cut in half on this basis, the dozens of bottles of white flower dew in Tao An's hand are still It’s worth more than 10 to 20 million!
In this way, if Tao An doesn't find anyone to cooperate with this thing, he can price it by himself at hundreds of thousands a bottle and sell it online? Stop making trouble, who would spend hundreds of thousands to buy skin care products online? Even if they really dare to set the price, the price bureau will not ask anything about it? If someone gets jealous and causes trouble, it will only cause endless troubles, unless he runs his own company, but where does Tao An have the spare time? Moreover, once the quantity of this kind of thing increases, it cannot be sold at a high price, unless it is put on the market in large quantities and takes the civilian route, but that requires long-term clinical trials, which will not happen in three to five years...
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Just when Tao An was thinking a lot, someone tapped him on the shoulder, and a pleasant voice came from behind him.
He immediately stopped thinking so much and turned around to see Jiang Jinyu's beautiful face and graceful figure.
"It's really you, the monitor. I thought I recognized the wrong person when you were in front." Tao An stood up and said, not pretending to be surprised.
Pointing to the big screen, Jiang Jinyu said excitedly, "I saw your figure on it by chance just now. When I looked around, I saw that you were actually sitting here, so you came over to say hello. Why don't you invite me to sit down?"
"Where can I go? Monitor, please sit down." Tao An quickly pulled a stool for her.
Because it was in a corner, Jiang Jinyu's appearance did not attract much attention. People around him only cast envious and jealous glances, but no one was looking for trouble at this time.
When Jiang Jinyu came here, he had no intention of going back to the front. He stretched out his hand and smoothed the cheongsam gracefully and sat down. The graceful curves and full arcs made Tao An almost not move his eyes.
Jiang Jinyu paid attention to his eyes and felt a little proud, humming, I am better looking than the two stinky fish and shrimps soaked in the water.
She didn't object to Tao An's disgusting gaze. Even though she was proud, she was still a little shy and asked curiously: "Tao An, why are you here?"
Pointing to the auction of white flower dew that was coming to an end in front of him, Tao An replied: "Normally speaking, I am qualified to sneak into this kind of place. No, the white flower dew that is being auctioned now is another product I made besides Ningshenxiang. I grow scented products for bathing and entrust the auction house to auction them for me, so that I am qualified to come here to see them."
Who says you are not qualified? Let him stand up for me!
Whispering in his heart, Jiang Jinyu said in surprise: "Tao An, you are getting better and better, and everything you make can actually be sold in the auction house."
"Who am I? There are a lot of guests in the house, I am sitting in the corner like a slave." Yaoyuan shook his head and said with a smile. This is really not his arrogance. When he said something, anyone who stood up randomly in the room, who was he, Tao An, now? Comparable?
Jiang Jinyu looked at his moist eyes and said, "How can you talk about yourself like that!"
It was just a fact, but Tao An could feel Jiang Jinyu's "dissatisfaction" with him in his words, and he didn't dwell on it so much. Instead, he said: "The results came out, and they are pretty much what I expected. One hundred Eighty thousand, it’s over, this number is pretty good.”
"Then you will get rich?" Jiang Jinyu also became happy.
"How can it be possible? It's just the first time Baihualu appears. It's just a novelty. It's impossible to have this kind of price next time." Tao An shook his head and said, feeling very clear inside.
Jiang Jinyu didn't care that much at all. As for herself, no matter how magical the effect of white flower dew was, she couldn't use it at all. Instead, she said: "Tao An, how are you doing these days? What are you busy with?"
At this moment, she was still a little emotional, thinking to herself, I miss you every day when I have free time, but you, you haven’t even sent me a message since last time. Do you know how much I hope you can contact me, even if I say a word? You can be happy for a long time.
"I'm not busy with anything, just some trivial matters." Tao An smiled and said: "After waiting for so long, the results are finally out. I won't have anything to do next. I don't plan to stay any longer. Where are you, monitor?"
Is this pig coming to his senses and planning to date me? Jiang Jinyu had some expectations in his heart, but on the surface he said without interest: "I don't think this place is interesting either."
"Why don't you find a quieter place to sit? If the monitor doesn't have time, just pretend I didn't say anything." Tao An invited him proactively, but then he thought about why people would just follow his words, so he said the next sentence.
Hearing this, Jiang Jinyu was a little surprised. This pig actually invited him!
She was naturally extremely happy, otherwise why would she fly all the way here? What would be interesting about this crappy auction, so she reluctantly said: "Okay, it's boring anyway, but the things you entrusted here have been auctioned, no Would you like to hand it over?"
"It's already so late, so there's no need to be in such a hurry. Someone will be there to handle it later." Tao An said unconcernedly, and immediately looked at her in embarrassment and said, "Squad leader, is it convenient for you to dress up like this?"
Jiang Jinyu lowered her head and looked at herself. If she were standing, she couldn't even see her toes. Then she turned back and said, "Why, it doesn't look good?"
"It must look good. Let's go. Where are you going, squad leader?" Tao An stood up and asked. When he was talking, he saw that she was wearing a cheongsam, so he hesitated and tentatively stretched out his arms to help her.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jinyu naturally held his hand and stood up. When he was done, he let go naturally and said, "I don't know where else to go at this hour... What are you doing standing still?"
You just held my hand, could I not be stunned?
Although it was just a touch, Tao An still felt the softness of her little hand, and his heartbeat inevitably accelerated, and he quickly said: "It's nothing, let's go."
I didn’t even think about where to go next.
At this moment, Jiang Jinyu's heartbeat was also a little faster, as if he had a little rabbit in his arms. He was not as calm as he appeared, but the pig's reaction was really funny.
