At the same time that two small safes appeared on the big-screen TV, Claude also began to introduce the auction rules.
The reason why I introduce it again is because the auction rules of these two small safes are very special and completely different from all other auctions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the two small safes you are seeing now have never been opened. The auction house can guarantee that, and the owner of the goods has also given a written guarantee."
"No one knows what is in them. It may contain antiques or gold and silver treasures, or it may be documents, or there may be nothing at all."
"In order to ensure the interests of cargo owners, we have also made corresponding provisions and formulated special auction rules for various situations that may arise."
"No matter who takes the photo of this pair of small safes, they must open them on site under the supervision of the owner's lawyer and the auction house after the auction."
“In order to safely open these two small safes, our auction house specially prepared water jets.”
Hearing this, the scene suddenly went into an uproar.
"I don't know if there is anything in these two small safes. What if they are empty? Who would risk taking pictures of them?"
"It's fine if there's something in it, but if there's nothing in it, wouldn't it be a big loss, and you'd be embarrassed and laughed at!"
In the live broadcast room, everyone was talking a lot.
"I'll go! Isn't this just a pure blind box demolition game!"
"These Jews are really good at playing, they are so smart!"
Amid the noise, Claude raised his hands and pressed them down gently.
Following his movement, the scene suddenly became a little quieter.
Immediately afterwards, Claude's voice came again.
"Now let me introduce the special auction rules for this pair of small safes. Please think carefully before participating in the auction."
"After these two small safes are opened, if there are documents or things to store documents, tickets, etc., the buyer has no right to view them, and the cargo owner's lawyer will take them back on the spot."
"Anything other than this belongs to the buyer and the original owner has no right to take it back."
Before he finished speaking, there was another uproar at the scene and in the live broadcast room.
"Damn it! As expected of a Wall Street guy, this calculation is so accurate!"
"Isn't this just using two small safes to whet everyone's appetite and play with nothing?"
"If there are documents in the safe, such as wills or stocks, the owner can take them back immediately, and others will not know what those documents are!"
"If the two safes are empty, the owner can make a small profit or even a big profit. It's a great deal!"
Amidst the murmurs of discussion, many professional treasure hunters shook their heads slightly.
It was clear that these guys had made up their mind not to compete with these two little safes.
This does not comply with their bidding principle of what you see is what you get!
However, there are also people who are eager to give it a try, stretching out their arms to roll up their sleeves, preparing to get off the field and start fighting.
As for Xiao Ran, his eyes hidden under his sunglasses were extremely determined.
He was determined to get these two small safes.
Even if it costs me everything, I won’t hesitate!
This is both for yourself and for the country!
As soon as the auction rules were introduced, Claude immediately entered the auction process.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this pair of small safes are being auctioned together. The starting price is 6,000 US dollars. If you have thought clearly about it, please raise your sign and bid..."
With the starting price announced, the competition for these small safes has officially begun.
Before Claude could finish his words, someone raised the bidding number.
The person holding the sign to pay the price was a passerby standing on the sidelines.
Immediately afterwards, a professional treasure hunter sitting under the first awning on the left joined the competition.
Next, several more people joined the competition one after another.
Since they didn’t know whether there was anything in the safe, everyone bid conservatively, and no one took the initiative to raise the price.
This situation was not what Xiao Ran wanted to see.
The reason is simple. This is not conducive to eliminating competitors. Instead, it will lead to a situation where the frog is boiled in warm water, and the price of this pair of small safes will be pushed up step by step.
Since none of you are willing to take the initiative to raise prices, let me do it!
Xiao Ran thought to himself!
When Claude quoted the latest price of $8,200, he suddenly raised the bidding number in his hand.
"$10,000, Claude"
Following his shout of a substantial price increase, everyone at the scene turned their heads.
Seeing that it was him holding up the sign to bid, the other competitors cursed secretly in annoyance.
"Damn rich man, why are he everywhere!"
"It's over, this rich bastard must have regarded this as a game!"
While cursing secretly, several competitors were filled with disappointment.
Some people have even given up, shaking their heads and withdrawing from the competition.
The risk of competing with a rich second generation who is not short of money for two small safes that don't know whether they have anything is too great, and it's not worth it!
Just in case there is nothing in these two small safes, the price has been pushed very high by this rich bastard.
In that case, whoever takes pictures of them will lose a lot of blood!
Many fans in the live broadcast room did not understand Xiao Ran's actions.
"Isn't this just a blind box demolition? Isn't it too risky?"
"Are you drifting off? You are so overwhelmed by the victory, be careful that this is a hole dug by the Jews!"
Xiao Ran smiled and then whispered:
"It's precisely because this is a real blind box opening game that I raise my sign to bid, which is fun!"
"My buddy has already made a lot of money today, so there's no harm in playing some games."
Hearing this, the live broadcast room was filled with complaints.
"I'll go! This thing is really floating! It's also inflated!"
"When we turn around and open two empty blind boxes, we will see if you are embarrassed or not."
Amidst everyone's complaints, the price of this pair of small safes has reached US$12,000.
The first time he heard the quotation, Xiao Ran raised his bidding number, smiled and shouted:
"$15,000"
Another substantial price increase drew everyone's attention once again.
This price has exceeded the psychological price of many competitors, and several competitors have announced their withdrawal.
In the blink of an eye, there were only three competitors left.
A professional treasure hunter in his thirties, a passerby, and Xiao Ran.
The two competitors looked at Xiao Ran and felt a little itchy at the root of their teeth.
"This damn bastard, did his money really come from the strong wind? It's so abominable!"
"Just for two small safes that you don't know the contents of, this bastard actually raised the price by thousands. Is he crazy?"
While cursing secretly, these two guys did not forget to hold up their signs to answer the price.
While we were talking, the price quoted for this pair of small safes had reached US$16,000.
As a result, before his opponent could put down his arms, Xiao Ran raised his bidding sign again and raised the offer by two thousand dollars.
$18,000.
The passerby shook his head and reluctantly withdrew from the competition.
The remaining professional treasure hunter looked back at Xiao Ran fiercely, then made a throat-cutting gesture and announced his withdrawal from the competition.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran was so excited that he almost jumped up from his chair and cheered loudly.
But the auction had not yet come down, so he did not dare to celebrate wildly, lest it cause complications.
Even if the deal was hammered down, he would not dare to celebrate unscrupulously, as that would definitely attract a lot of suspicious eyes.
After asking three times in succession, and seeing that no one raised the bid, Claude immediately banged the auction hammer, fearing that he would regret it later.
"$18,000, transaction completed. Congratulations to buyer No. 106 for successfully bidding on this pair of small safes. I hope you can find a valuable treasure!"
As he said this, the guy raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran just smiled and nodded, maintaining a high-class posture, as if he was taking a picture of something insignificant.
However, his eyes hidden under his sunglasses were full of ecstasy.
And deep in his heart, he was cheering crazily.
In the live broadcast room, there was a lot of doubts.
"18,000 US dollars, that's over 100,000 RMB, it won't be wasted, right?"
"Who knows, we can only know the answer after the auction is over and we open these two metal blind boxes!"
