Chapter 108: Andrei
When Cervantes quoted the reserve price of the space ring, unexpectedly no one shouted the auction price, whether it was the wealthy businessman sitting on the first floor or the princes and nobles in the compartment on the second floor, they were collectively silent for a while.
Obviously, even the most experienced master Cervantes did not expect this result, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he stood on the stage.
In the compartment, Luo Lin was even more anxious, if the ring was auctioned like this, he would not get a single gold coin, and his younger brother would have surgery tomorrow, and if the operation fee was not collected for the church, it would be impossible for people to operate on you, so that the already sick little Hawk would be even more dangerous.
"Luo Lin, don't worry, this is the first auction for such a high-grade space ring, I think these people should not know how to bid for a while, they all want to see how others quote, rest assured, it should be able to break the deadlock after a while." Simeone reassured.
Immediately, Mahler and the others also spoke out to comfort Rollin, but as time passed little by little, no one upstairs and downstairs made a sound, and everyone in the compartment couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Baron Allen was born in a declining small aristocratic family, he inherited his father's title, but when he grew up to take charge of the family, the family had fallen into disarray, but Baron Allen was very business-minded, and according to his own conditions, he invested in some things that everyone didn't care about a little unpopular, and then sold them after his operation, often getting extremely high value, so that after more than ten years, he actually revitalized the declining family, and his assets reached millions of gold coins, and today he was invited here by Cervantes。
With Baron Allen's status and strength, he is not qualified to sit in the cubicle on the second floor, he is just mixed in with a kind of crowd, he likes to study some things that people don't care too much about on weekdays, and the space ring happens to be among them, through research, he knows that in the imperial capital Hertz City, no one else except Cervantes will make this space ring anymore.
There are two kinds of space rings sold in the Cervantes alchemy shop, one is a small one with two or three cubic meters of space, and the price is more than 200,000 gold coins, and the other is one with five cubic meters of space, and the price is 500,000 gold coins.
At this moment, he saw that all the people were silent for a while, and Master Cervantes on the stage was also a little anxious, and at this time he shouted the price, maybe he would drop the hammer and successfully trade, so when Cervantes shouted again if there was anyone bidding, Baron Allen spoke: "I will give 600,000 gold coins!"
This price was thought about many times in advance, that is, it could ensure that he still had a lot of profit to make, and to a certain extent, it would give Master Cervantes some satisfaction, after all, he had raised 100,000 gold coins all of a sudden, and the price increase was still quite large, maybe he would drop the hammer.
However, before his bidding voice landed, he heard a person in the front row say loudly: "I will give 610,000 gold coins!"
"Damn, why is he here too!" Baron Allen cursed, because he knew the Humpty Dumpty man who bid just now, called Aubrey, a wealthy businessman, Baron Allen had dealt with him many times, and knew that although this person did not have much ability to see things, he was very accurate in seeing people, and he would figure out the other party's heart according to the other party's expressions and movements, so as to deal with the other party.
But this is the case, Aubrey saw that Baron Allen, who had always had a good eye on weekdays and was very cautious in spending money, had paid 600,000 gold coins, so he decided to take a gamble and take this ring down, but he didn't have much research on the space ring, and he didn't have much bottom in his heart, so he only added 10,000 gold coins to test the water!
In the compartment, I heard someone quote, although it was far from a million gold coins, but at least it would not be sold and returned empty-handed, so Luo Lin's hanging heart fell slightly, and Mahler and the others also let out a long breath, this kind of auction of hundreds of thousands of gold coins was also the first time they had seen it, and they knew in their hearts that although every bid seemed easy, it represented a pile of golden gold coins!
Baron Allen snorted and said no more, he didn't give up, because he knew that there was still a lot of profit to be made, but since this damn Aubrey was here, then he had to be careful, if he was in a hurry to bid now, the fat man would definitely follow the price, and in the end, even if he got it in the end, the profit would be pitiful, so he was ready to sink a little more, and wait until the end to suddenly quote a slightly higher price and win it in one fell swoop.
After all, there were nearly a hundred people sitting on the first floor, among which in addition to Baron Allen, there were a few people who knew more about space rings, and after a moment of silence, they finally made an offer.
"Six hundred and twenty thousand gold coins!"
"Six hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!"
"Six hundred and seventy thousand gold coins!"
However, just as the price was rising in an orderly manner, and Baron Allen was about to make the final bid, suddenly a slightly arrogant voice came out from the compartment on the second floor, "I will pay 700,000 gold coins to auction this space ring, my father will have a birthday tomorrow, I will give it to my father as a birthday gift, I think everyone will be an adult!" The meaning of his words was self-evident, he wanted to auction the space ring at the price of 700,000 gold coins, and he didn't want the people in the field to raise the price again.
Sure enough, his words shocked the few wealthy businessmen who were going to bid below, especially Baron Allen, he knew the true value of this ring, 700,000 gold coins were still too cheap for it, and there was a lot of profit to be made, but he couldn't afford to provoke the person who was talking upstairs, so he closed his mouth that was about to make an offer.
"Damn, I didn't think this bunny was here too!" Mahler scolded angrily.
"Boss Mahler, who is he!" Luo Lin was a little annoyed, looking at the price increase trend downstairs just now, the auction price of the space ring must be more than 700,000 gold coins, but the voice of the second floor who suddenly bid was to curb the bidding downstairs, if the transaction was made at this price, Xiao Hawke's surgery fee was still enough to owe 300,000 gold coins, how could he not be angry!
"This kid's name is 'Andrey', his father is a military minister with the same position as the old man of my family, and our two families have never been on good terms, but I didn't expect him to come here today. Mahler explains.
At this time, seeing that no one dared to quote anymore, Andre on the second floor couldn't help but pout, and said in a loud voice: "Master Cervantes, since no one is shouting the price, shouldn't you drop the hammer!"
