days in the world of pirates

Chapter 427 Auction House

Chambord Islands.

With the fall of Doflamingo and the subsequent in-depth cleanup of the place by the Navy, order is much better than before.

The original slave gang on the island was beaten to kill rabbits, and a lot of them were lost by the way.

But unless the problem of the source is solved, these hyena-like guys will always be at bay.

Why has the slave business in the Chambord Islands been able to survive for a long time and even formed a huge industrial scale and profit chain?

The most fundamental reason is that there is a huge demand.

100% profit can make people trample on the law, so as long as there is demand for a business like slaves, which is almost profitable, there will never be any fear of big risks.

Therefore, such people always kill batch after batch, and there are still new ones to take over.

Unless one day the rule of the Celestial Dragons is overthrown and the law on slaves is abolished, this situation can be fundamentally improved.

However, one good thing is that with the fall of Doflamingo, the largest slave auction house located in the Chambord Islands has completely collapsed.

Now there are several newly formed forces that are desperately fighting for this piece of cake, fighting to the death.

No slave-trading force would give up such a big piece of cake, one that would never expire.

But it is obvious that none of the newly emerging forces can suppress all voices of resistance like Doflamingo's Don Quixote family.

This kind of fight is expected to continue for some time, but the business of the slave auction house cannot stop.

Not only because the slave auction house is a cornucopia of money that can be made every day, but also because no one can offend their biggest patrons, the Celestial Dragons.

If the wealthy aristocrats from all over the world are the main consumers of slaves, then the world's aristocrats, the Celestial Dragons, are the main force among them.

The Celestial Dragons are never short of money, and they have no concept of money. Spending a lot of money on a slave they like is just childish.

Whenever valuable slaves appear, it is not a problem for the Celestial Dragons to spend hundreds of millions of beli casually.

After all, the entire world belongs to the Celestial Dragons, and the amount of gold in the sky alone is not a small amount every year.

Spending hundreds of millions of beli is just a drop in the bucket for them.

Recently, the auction house has been renovated and renovated.

After all, due to the impact of the arrest of the Don Quixote family, this place has come to a standstill.

This time, several forces worked together to reopen the auction house.

The purpose is naturally not to lose natural big customers like Tianlong people.

Of course, the auction house itself is a treasure trove. The chaos during this period has caused the auction house to stagnate for a long time. Several forces have realized that continuing to fight is not an option.

After simply sitting together and discussing it again, we started again.

Not only that, for this auction, several forces, in order to maintain the reputation of the No. 1 Auction House, spent almost all their efforts to collect countless treasured 'items' regardless of investment, and then even more vigorously publicized it in order to regain their reputation.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In any case, the auction house's actions this time attracted countless dignitaries.

As for whether it can return to its heyday, it depends on how effective it is this time.

The auction house is located in the core area of ​​Area 1, with basically no other buildings around it.

The auction house after this reconstruction is obviously more magnificent than before, and even from the outside, you can feel the feeling of wealth.

However, the style dominated by golden yellow always looks a bit gaudy.

But who wants everyone to take this bite?

The inside of the auction house has also been renovated. There are a total of 5 areas. The auction house with 2o rows of seats in each area can accommodate 1,000 people sitting at the same time.

By this time, the auction house was already packed.

Everyone on every seat looked well-dressed, and it goes without saying that they were either rich or noble.

In many places, people even wear crowns and are surrounded by bodyguards in black suits.

Needless to say, the king of a certain kingdom is also here.

Somewhat ironically, those goods on the middle stage are the same people as them, and now these their kind have been regarded as goods by them by default.

Yes.

goods!

Even in their eyes, these people are no longer called human beings.

I don’t know how they will feel one day when they become like this.

There is a large round platform in the center of the auction house.

Countless lights are scattered on the stage, allowing people to see clearly.

"The next item to appear is cargo No. 10. It is really familiar. Items with the same number are also extremely cherished things."

In the middle of the stage, there was an auction table, and the sound came from there and spread throughout the hall.

The person currently presiding over the auction is Disco, the owner and auctioneer of the original auction house. He is Doflamingo's agent in the Chambord Islands.

I just didn't expect that he could survive after Doflamingo's fall, and even continue to be the auctioneer at the auction house. I have to say that he does have something.

However, it can be seen that he has rich experience in auctions and is also first-rate in mobilizing the audience's emotions.

Moreover, he is familiar with the auction rules. This auction is not all based on goods from low to high. There will also be strange peaks in the middle, so that the audience's emotions can always be controlled by him.

"Well, not much to say, now please take a look..."

Following the sound, his finger pointed in one direction, where a cage was being pushed out.

At the same time, there was a beam of light hitting it.

Many spectators stretched their heads to look there, and then found that the cage was covered with a layer of velvet.

The crowd was noisy, and some impatient people stood up from their seats.

"You bastard in front of me, you're blocking my view!"

"What the hell is that? Stop showing off, you bastard!"

"I've already taken off my pants, and you're just going to show me this?"

"Open it quickly, open it quickly!"

No matter how you mobilize your emotions, there is always a deep and a shallow scale to control... well, a loose and tight scale to control.

It's obvious that Disco is a veteran in this area and his posture is very skillful.

The cage was pushed to the center of the stage.

When the emotions of the audience were almost aroused, he grabbed the velvet and pulled it off.

"Everyone, please take a look at item No. 10, super female star Shree Rais! Let the screams and cheers start! Ladies and gentlemen! Please don't be stingy with your voices."

In fact, needless to say, when they saw who the person in the cage was, most of the people in the audience were already in a state of excitement.

You know this is Shree Rais!

Three years ago, she became world-famous as soon as she debuted at the age of 17. In the following two years, she became one of the most famous female stars in the world.

Just three months ago, she suddenly disappeared after a performance. There has been no news about her in the past three months. Many people thought that she had died.

I didn’t expect to appear here!

Shrilath in the cage is about 1.8 meters tall, with long golden waves, wearing an off-white gauze skirt, and her beautiful eyes are filled with tears, which makes her look extremely pitiful under the light.

There were chains around her neck and hands, and she was leaning against the cage helplessly, with a look of despair in her big eyes.

"Ahhhhh..."

The louder screams almost lifted the roof of the hall.

"The genuine Shree Lace, after our verification, she has never had any boyfriend, and we also trained her for a month, so you know..."

"oh……!!"

The men's voices had an unusual tacit understanding this time.

"Everyone must be impatient with the waiting. Now I will announce that the lowest auction price of Shrilais is..."

"Twenty million!"

"I'll give you 200 million beli!"

The third row in the middle area is the prime location of the entire auction house.

The seats are slightly higher than the center stage, and the distance from the stage is just right.

These seats are specially equipped with semi-open wooden boards to separate them from other places.

The voice came from here, and as soon as it was spoken, it was worth 200 million beli.

Following the sound, I looked over and saw a man holding out two fat fingers that looked like two rough radishes.

He wore an outfit similar to that of an astronaut, with a round transparent mask on his head to isolate the surrounding air.

He has a fat face and two drops of mucus about to drip from his nose. He looks like a mentally retarded person.

But just what a mentally retarded person said made the noise in the audience disappear in an instant.

"That's...the Celestial Dragon!"

"The Tianlong people took action, and the price was sky-high. I'm afraid only they will not care at all about such a price."

Disco on the stage only reacted now and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

There are good and bad things about the Draco beings appearing here.

The good thing is that they usually bid much higher than the normal auction price, but the bad thing is that once they sell, the scene immediately becomes cold.

However, compared with the advantages, these disadvantages can be completely ignored.

"The world's nobleman, Saint Charles, offered 200 million. Isn't there someone higher?"

This is actually nonsense, 200 million beli is not waste paper, not everyone can afford it.

Disco just asked a professional question. He also knew that no one would bid higher, and then he picked up the gavel.

"Two hundred million beri once, two hundred million beri twice, two hundred million beri three times...deal!"

"Congratulations to Saint Charles, for acquiring the No. 10 Shrelais for a price of 200 million beli! Now the auction of the No. 11 item will begin. The super coater from the Chambord Islands has coated more than 300 ships. In total,

You can go around the shampoo field."

It means that the bidder is a Tianlong person, otherwise he can hype up the transaction price of 200 million Baileys and make the atmosphere of the next auction more exciting.

Better to all go crazy!

It is undoubtedly a little worse now, but fortunately the next lot is not too expensive.

In the hands of a magical auctioneer, any item can fetch a high price.

"'Coater' Rayleigh is also an excellent shipwright, so with such an item, he can continuously bring you countless Baileys, and all you need to pay is a little auction gold, and

Just the most basic living security is enough.”

Following his words, a man wearing a white shabby windbreaker, a head full of white hair, and rimless glasses gave him a somewhat elegant temperament.

"Oh, this is too old!"

"That's right, I'm afraid that such an old guy will die soon after you buy it, right?"

"Who would buy a guy like this..."

But in fact, there are not many such voices.

"Now, I announce that the starting price of lot 11 is 1 million Baileys. Each increase in price shall not be less than 10,000. Please bid!"

As soon as Disco finished speaking, Reilly took two steps forward. He narrowed his eyes and smiled at Disco, and said, "Can you let me promote myself?"

"Oh, look what I heard, our Mr. Cargo is a little dissatisfied with his worth now, and he actually wants to actively promote himself. This is really a strange thing... I agree!"

Disco handed the microphone to Reilly and watched him wave.

The audience below burst into laughter.

Some of them have participated in the auction more than once, and this is the first time they have seen someone promoting themselves in such a funny way.

"Thank you, host." Reilly showed no stage fright. He picked up the microphone and spoke directly, "Let me explain first, I just look old, but I should still have a lot of years left.

Secondly, my skills are great, just like my body. Also, I am easy to support, I only need basic meals and wine.

Believe me, compared to my auction price, I can create more value, so I hope there will be a discerning buyer."

After Riley finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Disco. He didn't think anything was wrong at all, but Disco looked at him a little weird.

Putting down other thoughts, Disco took the phone and said: "Such an excellent product, what are you waiting for? To be honest, if I hadn't been short of money, I couldn't help but want to take pictures."

"Hahaha……"

There was a burst of laughter in the audience, and many people raised their numbers, obviously moved by their words.

It's not expensive anyway, and the auction house can't just sell a parallel import by putting up a sign, so I just took a photo and took a look.

"1050,000."

"1.1 million."

"1.2 million."

"1.8 million."

The price increase came and went, and soon it exceeded the two million mark, and then it exceeded three million.

Even the guys who originally complained couldn't help but bid to participate.

The entire auction house was attended by not only royal families and nobles from various kingdoms, but also many big businessmen from all over the world. An excellent coater and shipwright meant endless wealth to them.

It's only a few million dollars, which they can definitely afford.

"Mr. 373 over there offered 3.8 million. Is there any higher level coating master? People who go to the new world know how important coating is. It only takes 3... Wow, the beautiful lady at No. 233 over there

You bid 4.5 million yuan, you are really discerning, just like the clothes you chose today."

However, the price increase is now almost reaching its peak.

After all, buying an old man at such a price is already very high, even though he is very handsome.

"4.5 million, is there any increase in price? There are not many coating masters like this. Most coating masters already have companies. Such masters are definitely worth the money. Is there anyone with higher prices?"

"I'll give you 10 million!"

A voice clearly spread throughout the hall from the door of the auction house. Compared with his voice, the sound of pushing the door was negligible.

The world outside was still bright. After the door was opened, a figure appeared there stepping on the light.

The sun shines behind him, as if giving him a mysterious golden coat.

Ta! Ta! Ta!

The figure in the sun walked towards the auction house with steps, as if stepping on everyone's heart, giving people an inexplicable feeling of palpitations.

As the figure moves further and further in, the light against him gradually dissipates, and his face appears in the eyes of the person who turns his head back.

It's him?!

(I typed 5,000 words today during the day, but they are all gone. I didn’t believe that this kind of thing would happen to me before. It turns out that any accident can happen. I feel really bad. Teddy, this chapter is over 4k, everyone.

Let’s take a look, it will be 6,000 tomorrow.)
