Chapter 1192: The Prophet at the Auction
Something strange happened suddenly. When the bidding was fierce, someone suddenly came out of nowhere and overran the entire audience. The moment he saw the long figure of 100 million US dollars,
All the participants in the box had strange expressions in their eyes, and the bidders among them even frowned.
A single bid increase of more than 30 million is not unusual based on the specifications of the New York black market auction, but it is basically only the heavyweight items at the end of the auction that appear.
No one expected that the first thing would be...
Because of this, my eyes lit up when I saw this bid.
On the white light stage, Gloria's tone and tone raised the atmosphere of the audience:
"Amazing! The first bid over 100 million tonight comes from Box 9! Is there any higher? Is there any higher price?"
Faced with the sudden increase in price of 30 million, the entire audience fell into silence for a moment.
At this moment, in Box 9, a high price of 100 million US dollars was casually quoted among the chatter and chuckles, which instantly attracted the attention of the whole audience.
Fangran looked at Veronica who seemed to have just done a small thing:
"What are you trying to test...?"
When I heard his words, I gave a light and clever laugh,
"In most cases, bidding is just a psychological game,"
Carrying out her "Monica" image tonight, Veronica spoke in the same tone as before on the street:
"Expression, posture, timing of action, extent of price increase, time of hesitation...all information such as whether a person is firm or not, what is the psychological bottom line, etc."
"Everything will be reflected in his 'bidding' action."
Explaining the nature of the auction, she looked at Fangran slyly, as if she was sharing a little trick.
"So you want to know who really wants to photograph something,"
"You only need to offer a price that is a little higher than the market valuation, and they will tentatively increase the price slightly out of the mentality of 'acceptable but give up if it goes higher'..."
Then, as if to confirm Veronica's words,
A new number is now refreshed on the floating projection.
"No. 36, 101 million!"
There was only a minimum price increase, and it was no longer the fierce scene just now. After only the last three competitors were left, each of them only increased one million.
"On the 12th, 103 million times!"
Under the white light of the stage, the auctioneer in a black and white dress confirmed the final price, and then at the end of ten seconds after confirming three times,
She pulled out the auction gavel out of thin air and struck it to announce the winner of the bid.
“Congratulations to the bidder of Box 12!”
Looking at the first lot, just as the Queen predicted, it was bought by No. 12, the first bidder, with an extra fraction.
Fangran then looked at Veronica, who was looking at him with a successful smile.
"Should I say that I am truly worthy of being someone who has an underground treasure house at home..."
Thinking about the 'Royal Exhibition Hall' with countless rare treasures that she saw last night, for her who may have participated in countless auctions,
This technique of predicting other people's bids could not be simpler.
"No, strictly speaking I haven't participated in several auctions. Usually I tell Adeline a name and ask Adeline to send people to look for it all over the world."
But as if she saw what he was thinking, she denied it out loud, and Veronica chuckled casually:
"And most of the time, I don't need these."
It really has your style...
When he heard the Queen herself say this, Fangran learned for the first time why rich people would not come to the auction in person.
But this is indeed the case. In real auctions, there are always people covering their mouths and talking on the phone all the time. They are the agents of those mysterious rich people.
"Does this have anything to do with what you said about finding the auction item?"
"Oh, you will know soon."
And at the moment when the two were chatting, as the first auction item was sold, Gloria smiled again on the stage and aroused everyone's interest,
The second lot appeared behind her.
"No. 4207 - [Blockade-Hybrid Field Psionic Energy Shield II]"
After a simple explanation of the parameters, the battle scenes with actual combat effects are displayed on the projection.
"No matter which auction there is, there will always be a repertoire. Technologists have brought us new shield equipment,"
"As you can see, its peak shield strength is not even inferior to that of the mentor's sealer armor,"
“And our starting price is—$65 million!”
When the auctioneer of the black and white dress announced the price, the boxes on the dark audience stage lit up again one after another.
The bidding speed is now even faster than before!
However, considering the versatility of shield equipment, this is not surprising. In the box on the highest floor,
After scanning the 'black bricks' in the center of the stage, Fangran looked at Veronica and saw that she didn't seem to be planning to bid like she did just now.
He just looked at the scene of competing bids with a smile on his face.
The auction process itself is not time-consuming. From the auctioneer announcing the starting price to the final transaction, it may only take two or three minutes.
In the fierce bidding of all participants, several lots were quickly sold at prices exceeding 100 million US dollars.
More than half of them are high-end nether energy equipment that exceeds the market circulation, and its specifications are second only to the official associations and Night Palace.
And as the auction continues, the specifications of subsequent lots continue to increase.
Then finally the first auction item with a starting price of hundreds of millions appeared!
Just like technological shields, every black market auction is basically an indispensable item type, with nether energy power as the core energy.
Advanced technology armor!
"No. 4114 - [Altaïr-Psionic Shadow Strike Armor]"
"About this starting name, everyone here should already know as well as I do that there is a mysterious master who is unique in the field of kinetic energy design and even developed a flying armor,"
"I believe his work that specializes in short-distance acceleration this time will not disappoint."
The names of psionic equipment are generally divided into two categories. One is the code name added before and after the equipment type, such as Black Death Star and Annihilation Zone.
The second is the names of producers like Altaïr and Timmons whose true identities are mostly a mystery.
When he saw this familiar prefix, Fangran suddenly remembered the memory of the National War.
I thought that if it weren't for the flying armor that the mysterious technologist had auctioned before, I might have lost directly to Osphia.
And the familiar things are not just that. After this piece of technological armor sold for 146 million yuan,
"No. 3019 - [Space Crystal]"
"I'm sorry that there is no projection display for this lot, but please rest assured that the reputation of the New York Black Market guarantees that its origin and effect are absolutely authentic..."
"Starting price - $120 million."
It has only appeared a few times in the black market, almost as a legend. It is truly a life-saving trump card that has a price but no market. When the starting price of the space crystal was announced, the most intense situation since the beginning occurred!
And looking at the blue crystal that I had seen as early as the Pearl of the Night, as one of the unique symbols of the association,
Fangran can now guess that this is most likely the product of Trinity.
besides,
He even saw something that he didn't expect at all...
"The next lot may be a bit special, but for all the technologists here, it must be extraordinary."
It still evokes full suspense. As an excellent auctioneer, he controls the rhythm of the entire auction.
Gloria revealed the answer directly after pretending to be mysterious. The moment she clapped her hands gently, something rose from the center of the stage behind her,
Chapter completed!
