In Yan Lai's building, the second piece of ice jade and glassware was still being fought over. Two thousand gold was not the final price of this piece of glassware.
At this time, the bidder was Chu Suiliang. He was more willing to buy this second piece of ice jade and glazed ware than the third one. Who knows where the price of the third piece will reach. According to the experience of previous auctions, everything will end in the end. The price of each auction item will be higher than the first one, so there is a reason why he strives for the second item.
Chu Suiliang thought of this, and the Tuyuhun people were not fools. Naturally, they also thought of this, so they spared no effort to increase the price. When they thought about it, the Tubo people would never let them get the last item, so they might as well It would be better to spend more money on this.
Two thousand gold!
Two thousand three hundred gold!
Two thousand five hundred gold!
As the price continued to increase, Chu Suiliang's eyes turned red, just like the Dongying man, and his breathing became heavy.
Chu Suiliang's eyes were red, and the Tuyuhun people were not much better. The two of them were like red-eyed bulls. If they met, they would rush towards each other immediately.
"Two thousand eight hundred gold!" Tuyuhun said through gritted teeth.
"Three thousand gold!" Chu Suiliang immediately followed up and shouted the price.
The Tubo people, who had been chasing the Tuyuhun people and did not want them to buy ice jade and glazed wares, became silent at this time and did not bid. Perhaps Chu Suiliang raised the price too quickly, or maybe they gave up.
Luo Zhang didn't have much feeling about this. It was already three thousand gold. Even if it was fixed at this price, he was very satisfied. Two broken bottles were exchanged for six thousand gold. If he told it in the future, he would be called a madman.
The Tuyuhun people still wanted to bid, but they were stopped by the people beside them, and they were not allowed to continue bidding. If they kept shouting like this, they would never know when the price would end. They finally saw that the person bidding with them was Just like the Dongying man, he is also a lunatic. There is no need to argue with a lunatic.
Although they were very reluctant, the Tuyuhun people finally accepted the advice and made no further bids. This second ice jade glazed vessel finally fell into the hands of Chu Suiliang.
Chu Suiliang's heart bleeds when he thinks that he spent three thousand gold to buy this ice jade and glazed vessel. Three thousand taels, which almost caused his net worth to shrink significantly. After he woke up, he couldn't help but curse Luo Zhang secretly. His heart is too dark, but no matter how much he scolds Luo Zhang, the money he should pay cannot be less. With so many people watching, if he doesn't pay, he is afraid that he will be famous throughout Chang'an City tomorrow.
You must know that people in the Tang Dynasty attach great importance to reputation. Once their reputation is ruined, they will not be able to gain a foothold in society. They will be reviled by others, and even those who serve as officials will be demoted to a remote place in the countryside.
In the end, Chu Suiliang could only endure the heartache and paid three thousand gold. Of course, he did not take the money with him, but asked his housekeeper to go home and get it.
Luo Zhang did not wait for Chu Suiliang to pay the auction fee before starting the auction of the third lot. As he just said, people in the Tang Dynasty valued reputation very much, and Luo Zhang was not worried that Chu Suiliang would not pay.
The third lot was still ice jade and glazed ware. This was also the last piece in Luo Zhang's auction today. The red cloth was lifted and the people present did not ignore the third piece just because they had seen two of the same things. The three lots still amazed them, but the price was too high, so they could only feast their eyes on them, and at the same time curse Luo Zhang in their hearts.
"Today's last auction of ice jade and glazed ware has a starting price of one hundred gold. The highest bidder will win and the auction will begin!" Luo Zhangyan finished speaking concisely and concisely, then knocked the hammer to signal that the auction could begin.
Although the price of the first and second pieces was three thousand gold, many people still shouted the price with the mentality of picking up the missing items.
"Three hundred gold!"
"Five hundred gold!"
"A thousand gold coins!"
Having learned from the past, everyone has become accustomed to the price of one thousand gold. They do not think that the same glassware is expensive when the price is one thousand gold. On the contrary, they feel that the price is too cheap.
The price continues to rise, but the speed has slowed down. Compared with the first two pieces of glazed ware, everyone is much calmer about the third piece. After all, there are no red-eyed people like Dongying people and Chu Suiliang to randomly shout out the price, otherwise they will shout. The price cannot be so slow.
"Two thousand gold!" The Tuyuhun people shouted out the price of two thousand gold, causing many people to stop shouting.
For some reason, the Tubo people did not bid accordingly this time. Luo Zhang glanced at Lu Dongzan in the audience and wondered what the old man was up to. If he didn't raise the price, he would make less.
When the Tuyuhun people saw that Luo Zhang did not knock down the three sure hammers, they were very anxious. Although they didn't know why the Tubo people didn't bid, it was good news for them. Naturally, they didn't want to delay it for too long, otherwise if the Tubo people asked for a price, They will have to spend more money to fight for it.
No one's money comes from the strong wind, and the Tyuhun people's money is also limited. Otherwise, they would have made a bid when it was just three thousand gold, instead of waiting until the last item.
"Is there anyone who wants to bid? This is better than Persian glassware. If you miss it, there won't be this shop in this village. If you want it, hurry up."
"The first two pieces were sold for three thousand gold. Two thousand gold is not that expensive. Even if it is sold for two thousand two hundred gold, it can be sold for three thousand gold!"
Luo Zhang just didn't hammer, but advocated vigorously.
Auctions are like this. If the expectations are not met, the auctioneer can mobilize the enthusiasm of the auctioneers according to the situation at the scene. Luo Zhang is doing this at this time.
This made the Tuyuhun people very anxious, and they couldn't help but said: "Luo Zhang, are you going to sell it or not? You've been shouting for a long time and no one has bid, so hurry up and hammer!"
Luo Zhang glanced at the Tuguhun man who was talking, and sneered in his heart, labor and management can wait as long as they want, can you really care about it? The labor and management are not happy because of this, so the labor and management will not sell it!
Of course, this is just Luo Zhang's thinking. If he really doesn't sell it, he is afraid that his reputation will be ruined, and Yan Lailou's business will be ruined, and no one will believe them anymore!
As if awakened by Luo Zhang's words, Tubo Ludongzan, who had not bid for the third glassware, spoke again: "Two thousand two hundred gold! Lord Luo is right, two thousand gold is too cheap, even if I bought it for 2,200 gold and made a lot of money!"
Hearing Lu Dongzan's bid, the Tuyuhun people almost went crazy. Luo Zhang, it's all Luo Zhang. If it weren't for him, how could Lu Dongzan have bid? If Lu Dongzan didn't bid, the things wouldn't be theirs. ?
Profiteers, big profiteers, abominable, so abominable!
Although he was scolding Luo Zhang in his heart, he could do nothing about Luo Zhang. He was now a famous man in front of His Majesty, the youngest lord in the Tang Dynasty, and the number one scholar in civil and military affairs. Who dared to attack him? Anyone who attacks him will not end well!
Now the Tibetans are bidding again. They have the intention not to bid again, but this thing has to work. This is their hope of winning over the Turks. No matter how much they pay for this hope, it is worth it.
"Three thousand gold!" The Tuyuhun people suddenly raised the price to three thousand gold. Their intention is self-evident, that is, they don't want to get entangled with the Tubo people, and they want to make the final decision so that the Tubo people will retreat. Although the price of three thousand gold makes them feel pain, but If I could spend three thousand gold to get the protection of the Turks, it would be worth it!
However, the Tuyuhun people's plan failed. Lu Dongzan was not frightened by the Tuyuhun people's price increase. Instead, he hummed softly and continued to bid: "Three thousand one hundred gold!"
An extra hundred gold was added, which didn't seem like much, but it was more expensive than the Tuyuhun people.
Hearing this price, Luo Zhang showed a knowing smile. This is right. How can it be done if no one bids at the auction? Want to pick up the missing piece with two thousand gold? That's a dream!
At this time, the Tuyuhun people's faces were terrifyingly dark, and anyone who saw their faces could tell how bad they were.
However, now is not the time to be angry. What they have to consider is whether to ask for a price. Obviously, the Tubo people will not let them easily get this last piece of ice jade and glazed ware. Even if they get it, they will have to pay a lot of money. The price, and all this is because of Luo Zhang!
They now want to rush to the high platform and strangle Luo Zhang to death! But that is fantastic!
Instead of complaining about Luo Zhang, they discussed it and finally quoted again: "Three thousand five hundred gold!"
