The auction was held on the first floor of the Banished Immortal Building. Before noon, all the seats on the first floor were occupied. Mobile terminal
The second floor was equally crowded. However... most of the people sitting on the second floor were not those participating in the auction, but the powerful and powerful who wanted to watch the excitement.
The dignitaries stood on the second floor, looking down at the merchants on the first floor, feeling a sense of superiority deep in their hearts.
These profit-seeking businessmen don't even care about face for a little money. It's really a shame.
The rich and powerful gained great satisfaction and a sense of superiority.
The businessman sitting on the first floor naturally felt the gaze from upstairs. But they didn't react at all. After all, they had experienced such looks many times. Get used to it, it doesn't hurt or itch.
Only Xiang Chao felt a little uncomfortable. It is indeed a bit embarrassing for me, a majestic Guandong tycoon and descendant of the famous Xiang family, to sit with these businessmen.
But... I endured it today in order to save face for Xiang Yu.
The street outside the Banished Immortal Tower was already filled with people watching the excitement.
These people were reluctant to spend 10,000 yuan, or could not come up with 10,000 yuan at all, so they simply waited outside. They pooled their money to bribe a clerk from the Banished Immortal Tower and asked him to pass news back and forth.
While the idlers were waiting in a panic, they suddenly saw a carriage in the distance. It staggered to the front of the Exalted Immortal Tower. Then, an old man got out of the carriage.
The sharp-eyed person immediately said: "Look, it's Dr. Chunyu."
Chunyu Yue obviously heard this, and a smile appeared on his lips: It seems that I still have some reputation among the people.
Immediately afterwards, someone else said: "Dr. Chunyu, didn't you just sue for banishment yesterday? Why are you here to support me again today?"
Chunyu Yue almost tripped and fell on the steps: Is this my compliment? I'm just watching the fun.
Later, another idler said: "You don't understand this. I have heard it a long time ago. Dr. Chunyu and the banished immortal were acting yesterday. They deliberately staged a drama of accusation to promote today's auction." "
The idle people around suddenly realized: "So that's it."
Chunyu Yue's hands and feet were trembling with anger, and he said to Chun Yujia who was beside him: "Go, tell those ignorant Guizhou heads that I have been upright all my life, how can I fake acting? What's more, I am acting with that shameless guy Huai Guzi?"
Chunyu Jia agreed and turned around to find those idlers.
Chunyu Yue sighed and called him back: "That's all, that's all. If you really go to find them, it will look like a thief with a guilty conscience. Isn't it a gentleman if you don't know the truth? A man who is clean will be clean by himself. I tolerate it. .”
Chunyu Yue gritted his teeth and entered the Immortal Exile Tower as if he had suffered a great injustice.
As soon as he entered, he saw Li Shui coming up to him with a warm face and shouting with a smile: "Sister-in-law, are you here?"
Chunyu Yue waved his hand: "Go away, who is your sister-in-law?"
Li Shui laughed loudly, put his arm around Chun Yuyue's shoulders and said, "These are the relatives. They laugh and curse, there are no taboos, there is no separation, haha."
People around him cast envious glances.
Li Xin, who was standing next to him, was amazed: If I had such a thick skin as Brother Huai, why should I be afraid of Chunyu Yue?
Chunyu Yue was taken to the second floor and sat with a group of courtiers. As for Li Shui and Li Xin, they sat down in a special private room.
Later, a craftsman from Shangjun Courtyard stood up and said loudly: "The auction is about to begin. Please be quiet. I want to announce a few rules."
Everyone fell silent.
The craftsman said: "The rules are as follows: One: Liu Ji, Liu Wu, Liu Liu and other four people. They are packaged and auctioned in the form of a combination. This combination is called Liu Brothers."
All the vendors nodded, thinking it was reasonable.
Everyone used to call them Team Damai because Damai sponsored them during the last tryout. Now that times have changed, it is true that the original name cannot be used when the auction is re-auctioned. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be in vain to help barley promote it?
The craftsman added: "Rule 2: The merchant who photographed the Liu brothers will enjoy the Liu brothers' exclusive endorsement rights within three months. No matter how much the profit is, everything will be paid according to the amount stipulated in the document. If any If one party breaches the contract, the compensation will be tripled.”
The businessmen immediately whispered among themselves: "The three-month period is a bit short. But... it is not unacceptable. After all, this is the first time to cooperate with the Liu brothers. If the effect is not good, after three months, we can Go their separate ways. It would be really scary if they were tied together for more than ten years."
The craftsman added: "The third rule is that Niu Dao is the agent of the Liu brothers. In all economic transactions and document cooperation, Niu Dao will be the plenipotentiary representative to discuss in detail with the merchants."
The traders have no objections to these.
Afterwards, the craftsman read out a dozen more clauses.
The vendors listened very carefully and took notes from time to time. The dignitaries on the second floor and the idlers waiting outside to watch the excitement were all drowsy.
They were not interested in the terms, they just wanted to know how much Liu Ji could be sold for.
After Jianghu finally finished reading, he announced loudly: Next, we will invite members of the Liu family.
Xiang Yu and several others were brought to the stage.
Logically speaking, Xiang Yu can be considered a person who has seen the world, but for some reason, standing here, he is still a little nervous.
Later, Xiang Yu figured it out. He was not nervous, but felt humiliated. In the past, he was a general who commanded thousands of troops and received the admiration of everyone. But now, he is no different from an actor and a rare beast. The people below look at him as if he is a piece of merchandise.
Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and thought: If you don't kill Huaiguzi in this life, you will be invincible. As long as Huai Guzi is killed, today's humiliation can be washed away.
The vendors below were all admiring Xiang Yu and estimating their value in their hearts.
Xiang Chao, on the other hand, looked at his son carefully.
These days, he could only secretly see Xiang Yu by taking the opportunity to visit Shang Jun's Villa.
The tickets to Shangjun Courtyard were too expensive, and the calf seemed to be deliberately tricking him, so it cost several times more every time. Although Xiang Chao's family is extremely wealthy, he can't afford such trouble.
Therefore, he could only see Xiang Yu once a month. Today, we only spent 10,000 yuan, which is very fair.
Niu Dao walked out with a smile, stood in front of Xiang Yu and others, and said to the merchants: "Everyone, let's start now? If we take pictures of the Liu brothers earlier, we can cooperate sooner."
"The starting price is one hundred yuan, and each bid increase must not be less than one hundred yuan. Let's start now."
Soon, a merchant shouted: "Two hundred dollars."
"Three hundred dollars."
"Five hundred dollars."
A few hundred dollars, for these merchants, is not money at all, so they shout without any pressure and everyone is addicted.
Xiang Chao, who was sitting among the merchants, remained silent. He was almost furious.
My own son, my rare son in the world and unparalleled son in the world, is only worth three to five hundred dollars? So insulting.
Xiang Chao was very angry, and Chunyu Yue, who was sitting on the second floor, was also very angry. He kept shaking his head and sighing: "Huai Guzi is so barbaric and rude. I am ashamed to be an official in the same court as him."
The courtiers who were seated with Chun Yuyue nodded repeatedly, but after nodding, they still looked downstairs with interest.
I have never seen this kind of program before. Banishing the Immortal is really a wonderful idea that can always bring new things to everyone.
Finally, the price of the Liu brothers gradually climbed to 5,000 yuan.
When it reaches more than 5,000 yuan, there are fewer people bidding. There were only a few people left, shouting one after another.
After more than 10,000 yuan, only four people were left.
One is Zhou Gui who wants to stand up, the other is Damai who wants to repay the kindness of being banished to an immortal, and the other is Jiang Yuan, a big businessman in Xianyang City. Another one is Xiang Chao.
These four people have different purposes.
Zhou Gui wanted to use Liu Ji and the other four to banish one of his immortals, and then use the power of Shangjun Courtyard to once again become the leading merchant in Xianyang City.
As for whether Liu Ji could bring him any wealth, Zhou Gui was more skeptical. Whatever you can bring is the best, it doesn't matter if you can't bring it, just treat it as a gift to the banished immortal. Isn't it strange that there are so many people?
Damai is completely grateful for Li Shui's kindness. This time, he was bidding hard because he didn't want Li Shui's auction to be too embarrassing.
And the great businessman Jiang Yuan is a truly smart man. In the past few days, he carefully analyzed the popularity of the Liu brothers in Xianyang City. According to his prediction, if the Liu brothers were endorsed, his business would be 30% better.
As for Xiang Chao, he does nothing but want to improve his son's status. In his opinion, Xiang Yu is a priceless treasure, and it doesn't matter how loud he shouts.
At the end of the bidding, the Liu brothers' price exceeded half a million yuan.
Jiang Yuan, a big businessman, did the math and felt that if he shouted to the superiors again, the income brought by the Liu brothers might not exceed 500,000 yuan, so they would lose it.
So he quit.
The businessman's shrewdness and calmness are vividly reflected in Jiang Yuan.
When it reached 800,000 yuan, Damai couldn't hold it anymore. In the past few months, he had made so much money that he could almost be called rich. But after all, he has been poor for too long, and his family is not that rich. This 800,000 yuan is all his belongings. If he shouted further, he would not be able to pay if Liu Ji was really photographed.
If you photograph someone but don't pay them, it would be even more embarrassing to banish them to immortality.
Damai sighed with regret. Although 800,000 yuan is not low, it is still a bit small compared to the status of banished immortal.
Damai looked towards the second floor and thought apologetically: Master Banished Immortal, I'm sorry, I can only help you get here.
One after another, people were defeated, and Zhou Gui became more and more excited. His palms were sweating, and the veins on his temples were beating wildly.
The price has soared to 1.5 million. But not far away, the damn powerful man from Guandong was still shouting prices from above.
Zhou Gui had already found out that the bastard's name was Jing Gai, and he was not a businessman at all. I don’t know what this kind of person would do if he bought the Liu brothers back, and would they go back to provide for them?
The craftsmen of Shangjun Courtyard have long said that this time is cooperation, not selling people. After photographing the person and finalizing the documents, the Liu brothers were only responsible for endorsement and publicity. They don't care about drinking and eating, or bed-warming performances.
Zhou Gui glared at Xiang Chao fiercely and thought: Is this person sick?
Gradually the price has reached 8 million yuan.
Zhou Gui couldn't stand it anymore.
All his belongings, including Zhou's pastry shop, which is declining day by day, the land he bought outside the city, his wife's dowry, and the gold and silver hidden in the backyard, the inheritance left to him by his father and grandfather, all these are added up to One dollar is only ten million dollars.
Of course, Zhou Gui didn't know that his wife had already spent almost all the money on Half the Sky. If he knew, he wouldn't dare to shout anymore.
Zhou Gui thought to himself: If that bastard doesn't stop, this great opportunity will slip away.
He was very anxious, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and he still looked calm and calm.
That's how business is, whether you have money or not, you have to pretend to be rich.
Zhou Gui looked calm, and Xiang Chao looked even calmer.
The expressions of these two people amazed everyone present. Those big businessmen looked at Zhou Gui and Xiang Chao with envy.
This is eight million dollars. How courageous is it to shout out without blinking? How much financial resources does this require?
The courtiers on the second floor, while despising the vulgarity of the merchants, felt that this kind of activity was too exciting.
The people watching outside were all boiling with excitement.
Xiang Yu and others standing on the stage looked down at them in confusion: Could it be that our identities have been exposed? We clearly claim to the outside world that we are just a few Guizhou leaders from the Chu region. Are we worth so much money?
Seeing that the price has reached 8.5 million. Zhou Gui knew that he could not continue like this, otherwise he would be defeated, so he planned to use a force to suppress Xiang Chao.
He shouted directly: "Ten million dollars."
A full addition of 1.5 million. It surprised everyone present.
To be able to directly increase the price by 1.5 million with an impatient look is enough to show that this person is too lazy to quarrel with others for hundreds or tens of thousands. He must have more money, and he is determined to get it for Liu Ji.
After Zhou Gui finished shouting, everyone looked at Xiang Chao.
Xiang Chao calculated it and felt that 10 million would be enough to give Xiang Yu face. If he continued shouting, the scapegoat might not accept his attack.
So he clasped his fists and admitted defeat.
Zhou Gui breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the mat. At this time, he discovered that his back was completely wet.
After taking the picture of Liu Ji, it was considered a success, but at this time, Zhou Gui's heart became more and more uneasy.
This time, he has lost everything. It would be fine if he could make good friends with the banished immortal. With the reputation and power of the banished immortal, he can make a comeback in a short time.
But if he couldn't make good friends with the banished immortal... Zhou Gui shuddered and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Niu Dao said with a smile: "This auction has ended successfully. The Li brothers paid a price of 10 million yuan. I, Shangjun Courtyard, are very satisfied. Please brother Zhou Gui, don't leave, we will sign a contract immediately , both people and goods will be cleared, and there will be no delay.”
Zhou Gui responded blankly, his feet seemed to have stepped on cotton, and he staggered upstairs following the calf.
I was a magician in the Qin Dynasty
