Chapter 777: A Few Things About the Auction (Part 1)
The interstellar auction feels no different from the Blue Star era. It is still led by the host. The auction starts from the reserve price according to the value of the exhibits. After confirming the purchase intention, the authorization is signed and the amount is deducted. Then the items will be delivered by the auction house in person, without any help in keeping them.
And the essence of buying and selling is just like that. Even if the form is different, it is just a process of giving and getting.
In addition to the two main hosts and five deputy hosts on the main podium of the auction, there is also a backup team of 60 people in the back, responsible for the explanation of the exhibits and subsequent processing of derivative issues. In addition to nearly a thousand staff members working in the business, the entire auction can be said to be arranged properly.
Although it is said that this kind of transaction model has always been popular in the black market, it is also very tight and there is no news. Although some organizations have been established in various places, they are all small-scale unofficial events that are not on the stage. Therefore, strictly speaking, the auction has been suspended for many years. Many new generations are particularly unfamiliar with this term and are hesitant about this event.
In any case, the auction held by Sihai Trading Company today is indeed the first large-scale public auction in recent years, and even the official upper echelons have come out to speak. Therefore, the entire auction was held with great momentum. The company not only collected a large number of unusual exhibits for this purpose, but also used its huge network of contacts to invite celebrities from all walks of life to cheer.
In Jiang Hui's impression, auctions were not something that ordinary people could get involved in in his previous life. It was an exclusive playground for Chinese currency players. So now this is completely a scene of capitalists playing chess.
In order to warm up the scene, the company chose several decorative items with decent market value but ordinary practical value at the beginning. This kind of thing, like its own existence, is more used in face projects, so it is destined to have a certain market. Many people took a fancy to it when it came up, and the atmosphere in the venue was also hot for a while.
Zhou Xiuwen had returned to his private room not long ago, and Jiang Hui and Clarence were the only two people left here.
Both of them were here to watch the excitement and joined the numbers, and they really watched the auction slowly.
It can be seen that the organizers are still able to grasp the rhythm. They caught the mentality of the crowd at the beginning. In addition, the host has profound verbal skills. The atmosphere of the venue was heated up before a few exhibits were put on.
As expected, it is Sihai Trading Company. Even a mere... Well, she admitted that this photon communicator does sound very exciting. It can not only establish information communication regardless of distance, but also break through more than 95% of shielding technology for instant communication. It also has the highest level of encryption technology at present, and can track and analyze the source of information and other uses.
In summary, it is an extremely high-performance communicator.
According to Clarence, if the propaganda is true, this communicator should be the most technologically advanced version of the communicator. According to the technical source, it can be roughly judged that it should be a high-end experimental single product launched by the Academy of Sciences or Research Institutes, with an unpredictable value. Just looking at this one, the reserve price is almost catching up with the value of a high-level B-class mecha. What's more, people who want it are constantly calling the price, and soon this thing is positioned at a price that Jiang Hui can't bear to hear.
Clarence moved his fingertips slightly, swiped the family group information, confirmed the replies of several people in the group, either rejected or left empty, and after hesitating for a moment, he looked at Jiang Hui: "Are you interested in this?"
Jiang Hui tore his eyes away from the stereoscopic display on the big screen, wanted to nod a little, and then shook his head fiercely as if to make himself sober immediately: "Well, I probably won't be able to use this kind of function for the time being." And the people around her who can use it will not use this kind of product with external third-party technology intervention. After all, for the military, where even the secrets themselves dare not be told to the second person, the so-called absolute confidentiality is impossible. Whether it is really confidential can only be known when there is a real problem.
"That's it." The other party nodded slightly, without expressing his opinion, and his eyes fell back to the auction table. He seemed to think for a while, and finally did not bid for this thing.
Because the other party's tone and demeanor were too normal, Jiang Hui did not react immediately. When the sixth, not the seventh exhibit came up, Jiang Hui came back to his senses. Didn't this guy just want to bid for it? !
He was interested in this thing, and he asked Jiang Hui that question perhaps to get some approval. No, no, no, that's not right, he was inviting her to participate in the finalization. And he already had the correct answer in his heart, just waiting for her vote.
"Theophile, don't use me as a yardstick for judgment."
"I asked, and they all said they didn't need it." Clarence's voice still didn't sound any ripples, but Jiang Hui inexplicably heard a hint of hidden deep grievance.
Oh, this time it's still progress, knowing to ask the whole family for reference. But have you figured out why you asked her one more question when your family didn't want it? Isn't it you who wanted to buy it? ! Where did your previous pride of almost booking half of the Hillman Group go?
In the end, I missed the opportunity by referring to her opinion. I'm so embarrassed.
Jiang Hui stroked his forehead. This guy is usually very smart, why is his thinking so dull sometimes?
The two of them exchanged their lives first, and then opened their hearts. They actually knew each other for several years, which was enough to understand a person's temperament.
Clarence was born rich and he is a traditional young master. His character is naturally good. There is no doubt about this. However, he has a problem, which is a common problem for people of this type. He has too many good things. Since he was a child, no matter what he needs, someone will deliver it to him, so he is not materialistic.
Previously, Jiang Hui saw him purchase items at Hillman Group on rare occasions, but they were actually purchased for his family. He didn't really want to sell many things.
When he really encountered something he wanted to buy, he often hesitated because he couldn't tell the difference.
No, you are a young master, but you don't know how to spend money on yourself? You have to get confirmation from others. From this point alone, he is too dishonest to himself, and it is also a manifestation of his extreme personality.
Yes, extreme, Jiang Hui thought this was the most distinctive point of his personality. No matter what he does, he must be the best and extremely demanding of himself. Obviously, given his growth environment, he should not have developed such a temper, but he ended up with such a temper. It is impossible to say that he has no obsession.
However, it is impossible to truly achieve perfectionism in doing anything in this world. If you want too much and are afraid to bear the consequences of your choices, you will feel more and more limited and more painful.
