"This round's auction items are Qilin's Dried Fruit, Deer Living Grass, and Blue Snake Gall.”
"Due to the rarity of the medicinal herbs, they need to be preserved in a special way. In order to ensure the efficacy, the New Moon Hotel will temporarily take care of them during the auction!”
"This round, the highest bidder will win the brocade box. We will use the blind auction method to conduct the auction.”
As soon as the rules were announced, Qi Tiexui was immediately displeased.
"Blind auction, isn't this too shameless?”
"There's no turning back. We can try it once and see how it goes.”
"I'm afraid it's extremely dangerous."
Xu Nian sighed and said.
Any one of these three herbs would start at 200,000 yuan.
Each bid must not be lower than 50,000.
The so-called blind auction meant that no matter what the auction item was, they could increase the price.
As for whether or not the final item was what you wanted, no one cared. This was the principle of blind auctions.
If it was just one of the three items, it didn't matter if it was a blind auction or not.
But if he only took one.
Blind auctions meant that there was a two-thirds chance of failure, and it was very likely that the large sum of money paid would go down the drain.
"What are these things?"
"Yeah, it's simply unheard of!”
" I've seen some in ancient books…"
"This blue snake is a type of snake that grows in extremely cold places. Its entire body is dark blue, its eyes are golden, and its body is poisonous! There was a saying that when things reached an extreme, they would turn against each other. Snake gall was a good medicine for treating illnesses!”
"That Deer Living Grass…"
"Qilin is also amazing!"
The crowd muttered incessantly.
In the private room on the second floor, the bell rang one after another. In just one or two minutes, the price increase had repeated two or three times.
Almost everyone had pressed the bidding bell twice.
Qi Tie, who was sitting at the side, would occasionally count and drink a few mouthfuls of tea as if he was quenching his thirst. However, he still felt his mouth was dry.
He could clearly see that every time Xu Nian pressed the bell, his fingers were as steady as Mount Tai and did not tremble at all!
That's right, it wasn't his own money anyway...
Zhang Qishan's expression was solemn. He was not a person who cared about money, but he was wondering what the person wanted this medicinal herb for.
After a few more bids.
A person suddenly appeared in the private room of the Chamber of Commerce and said,"Host, our Chamber of Commerce requests for a sky lantern!”
"Yo, I've met someone who knows the ropes."
"Master Xu, Lord Zeng, I'm afraid we'll have to…"
Zhang Qishan's expression turned cold.
Xu Nian smiled and patted him on the shoulder. He said in a deep voice,"In that case, I'll have to trouble Lord Eight to make a trip. We'll order too!”
Qi Tie nodded, opened the bead curtain, and shouted,"Light the sky lantern!"
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
Many people in the audience stood up, wanting to see where the two great gods in the second-floor private room came from. They actually lit up the sky lanterns at the same time!
The so-called sky lantern.
It was a saying in the old days of the casino. Actually, it should be called "lighting up".
It meant that if you found someone on the gambling table with bad luck, you would bet against him. If he bet on big, you bet on small. If he bet on leisure, you bet on the house. You were not betting on your own luck but the bad luck of others. This person with bad luck was your "light".
Some people were born with bad luck and would lose every time they gambled. They would even be specially invited to "light up" so that they could lose a little and make a big profit.
When it came to the auction industry.
The meaning had also changed. Lighting the sky lanterns during the auction meant that they would reserve the place.
No matter what was auctioned in this round or how much it was auctioned, the person who lit the sky lamp would pay the bill in the end. Of course, the auction item would naturally belong to the person who lit the sky lamp in the end.
"Lord Zeng, this time, the sky lantern was lit, not to mention how much we lost.”
"After this matter, I will have a way to make it up to you.”
Xu Nian said in a deep voice, not caring.
It was just a light lantern, and it really did not pose much of a threat to him.
If you dare to light a lantern here, I will use you to light a heavenly lantern!
"Amazing!"
"This means that the two families are going to compete. It's been a long time since I've seen such a scene.”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's the Chamber of Commerce. They're very rich!”
There was endless discussion below the stage, and there were even people who were full of praise.
Xu Nian pinched an orange and put it in his mouth. He looked up with a smile and met Yin Xinyue's excited eyes, full of pride and surprise.
The first sky lantern.
After a few bids, it was unknown what the Chamber of Commerce was planning, but they didn't continue to bid.
"Congratulations to Mr. Peng for winning the first auction item. Double happiness, congratulations!”
Qi Tie smiled and looked at Xu Nian and Zhang Qishan, asking,"Master Xu, Lord Zeng, are we really going to take all three brocade boxes?”
Xu Nian stretched and smiled." Human lives are bigger than the sky. How can you choose one out of three?"”
"Only the young make the choice, and we, the Old Nine Factions, have always been a gullible bunch!”
