Ge Sheng listened to Ao Xuehua's explanation, nodded slowly, and then couldn't help but ask: "Then what happened to your previous bidding with Mo Xiaojing?"
Ao Xuehua smiled: "You can understand it as just a warm-up."
"Although his and I are not in exactly the same position, we can communicate a lot of information. One of the information is this auction. Many forces came here just to attack me and the Os family, even if they can't ultimately prevent us from obtaining Snow-colored roses, but at least they will cost us a little more."
Ge Sheng thought thoughtfully: "So, the current situation has been expected by you?"
Ao Xuehua smiled and pointed at the flashing price outside.
The ten-fold price increase just now frightened a large number of melon-eating people, but even so, such crazy price increases continued. Although the unknown customer instantly raised the price to the level of 100,000 gold leaf grass, this was already the same as the price increase. The prices for the final lot were almost the same, but that was far from the end.
Of course, it also depends on this. The random price increase in the first stage was terminated by the Student Government Association directly mentioning a thousand gold leaf grass. When Aoxuehua further raised the price to ten thousand gold leaf grass, there was another The mysterious man took over and directly increased the auction price to one hundred thousand. In a sense, the snow-colored roses, which were originally just used as warm-up items, directly brought the rhythm to the final finale auction. For example, at this moment, all the above Everyone in the box was quietly watching the various gods and gods fight among the nameless guests below who did not need to be famous.
At this time, the auction price has climbed step by step to the level of 120,000 gold-leaf grass.
"Does it mean that so many people below are capable of paying huge sums of more than 100,000 Golden Leaf Grasses?" Ge Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Aoxuehua nodded quietly: "Although it is not clearly marked, after you obtain the invitation ticket and successfully contact the Hall of Xuanjing and confirm the box, the Hall of Xuanjing will require you to make some guarantees and guarantees. Notarization ensures your ability to pay, and this ability to pay determines the highest price you can offer at the auction of the Hall of Hanging Mirrors."
"You think that the hanging mirror in front of you only truthfully displays the price you want to submit, but in fact, after you submit it, it first verifies your ability to pay. Low-end auction houses that simply rely on raising a placard or shouting a price The behavior of auctioning shills that often occurs has been curbed to the greatest extent here.”
Ge Sheng said that he had completely entered unknown territory: "But I just looked down and there were at least ten boxes participating in the bidding. So does it mean that there are at least ten organizations that have the ability to muddy the waters?"
Ao Xuehua shook his head gently: "There are not that many, but you should know that just like Ye Ye College has three boxes of Ye, Burial, and Fei, not every force will only get one box. , Moreover, those who have the ability to stand below and stir up the water will, without exception, be invited to the Hall of Hanging Mirrors. However, this kind of behavior of tripping people up is of course not convenient for public appearances, and can only be carried out with the help of the anonymous box below. , is like the annual finale of the Hall of Mirrors. Unless there are special needs, generally people will not use a large size to take pictures out of guilt, and most of them will use the waistcoat underneath."
"In a sense, this is also one of the characteristics of the Hall of Hanging Mirrors."
"But." Ge Sheng said, "I think there is one kind of behavior that should not be prohibited, or should be publicly prohibited."
Ao Xuehua smiled slightly and said with interest: "Continue."
Ge Sheng nodded: "That is the auctioneer's own bidding."
"Since in the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, you want to sell this information at a good price, then in addition to informing many forces about the effectiveness of Snow Rose Flower on Chinese Valentine's Day, a better way is to send your own people to occupy it as well. For a private room, if the final price is not in line with your bottom line, then you can simply quote it yourself and raise the price."
Aoxuehua nodded calmly: "Yes, this situation is very common. This was the case when I raised the price at the beginning of the auction, but at that time I raised the price publicly, and those people were willing to There is just one thing about paying this premium for me that anyone involved in the auction should understand.”
"You have to know everyone's bottom line."
"Since the Hall of Hanging Mirrors will charge a 5% commission for each auction, once the auction is unsuccessful in the form of one's own auction, a commission must be paid to the auction house as a price, such as the price of the Snow Rose Flower at this time. It has exceeded one hundred thousand, so the commission to be paid must be at least more than five thousand golden leaves. This is not something many people are willing to accept. Therefore, the more the final transaction price is unbelievably high, interfere with it yourself. Auctioning is the riskier behavior. Moreover, as mentioned before, Snow Rose Flower does not have the ability to cure Chinese Valentine's Day. It is just that it is even more efficient than the Lotus Hidden Resurrection Agent in terms of delaying toxicity and relieving pain, and it is almost useless. Other materials are required, so the relative price is also relatively low.”
"But it doesn't mean that the Os Empire is willing to pay endlessly for this snow-colored rose flower that is just a provenance. Although I can't tell you our final bottom line for the time being, I can remind you that the current price is different from our bottom line. It is already quite close, so whoever performs this dance of demons at this time must be prepared to suffer the consequences."
Ao Xuehua's voice was as cold as ice. She paused and continued: "Of course, there are some exceptions. For example, at the auction of the Dark Night Place, the highest ranking among the hidden tribes, something happened just a few years ago. An incredible auction, that is, someone consigned a piece of information with only four words in the name of "a certain possibility". In the end, this information was sold for ten thousand yi of gold, which was equivalent to more than one million pieces of gold leaf clover. As for the impact of this auction, Luobao, you are one of the people in this world who knows best."
"At that time, whether it was ten thousand yi gold or some kind of possibility, it was part of the overall situation, so that unspeakable hidden tribe spent a huge sum of money to take a picture of the note he put on it, and showed it openly Announcement to the world only cost five hundred yi of gold, bringing the world into another possibility."
"For this reason, the storm is raging, and the three empires and four hidden tribes are involved. This is also another mechanism of the conspiracy."
"Of course." Ao Xuehua's tone was slightly calm: "This time, if I guessed correctly, the spring of the fourth year of Qingli simply lacked money. Of course, it does not rule out that he likes to play, so he wants to squeeze more out of us. Some funds will be used as his precious military expenses."
While Ao Xuehua was talking to Ge Sheng, the fight between the gods below finally began to slow down. Just as Ao Xuehua said, whether it was the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, or those forces who came uninvited just to disgust the Aussie Empire , their ultimate goal is just to let the Aussie Empire obtain this information at a greater price, instead of taking the picture themselves. It would be fine if the subordinates took the picture in the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, but it would just be an extra payment for the five thousand gold-leaf grass. The commission is upward, but if other forces take the picture, it will probably be a huge wealth of more than 100,000 golden leaves. It is not an easy thing for any force.
Therefore, as the price gradually increases, more and more organizations cannot bear the pressure and actively withdraw from the competition.
If we really analyze the weird game in front of us, it is more like a ridiculous drumming and spreading of flowers, or the most terrifying pyramid scheme chain.
For the vast majority of people who are playing the game at this time, they all understand that the lot they have placed a heavy bet on is actually worthless to them. Among the players participating in the game, only one player, as the banker, can truly make a profit. , and the other player is the terminal of this game. Only if he catches the suddenly stopped rose at the end of the game, can anyone benefit from this game.
And in the game where there were only two people originally, some people finally couldn't help but play the role of passing on the flowers. Almost everyone believed that they would not be the last link of this terrible chain, or in other words, Austrian people. Because of their unique needs, the Si family will definitely accept this poisonous white flower.
But the most interesting thing is that it is completely a black box game at this time.
Originally, only Ao Xuehua and Mo Xiaojing were standing in the light. They dominated the second stage of the most upright bidding. However, as the one hundred thousand golden leaf grass disrupted everything like a blockbuster, the competition was completely ruined. Entering the black box, just like those forces who are still fighting in the darkness at this time, due to the special mechanism of the Hall of Hanging Mirrors, they cannot even distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
From the simplest calculation, the Os Empire will never withdraw from the competition easily, so one of these nameless boxes must be from the Os Empire.
Similarly, because His Majesty definitely hopes to get the best price to sell the goods in his hands, then since he unfortunately paid the smallest price for taking pictures of his snow-colored roses, it is almost certain that these boxes that take advantage of the chaos to raise prices Naturally, there is also the figure of His Majesty.
Except for these two ultimate players, the other boxes can be roughly inferred just by looking at how many enemies there are in the Os Empire.
Ge Sheng looked at Ao Xuehua when the final auction price exceeded the 150,000 mark, and was surprised to find that the person who should have been the most anxious at first looked extremely relaxed at this time.
It was even said that Ge Sheng knew clearly that Ao Xuehua's most nervous moment was when the auction amount rose to 10,000 golden leaves under her hands.
Ge Sheng didn't know what this meant, but he clearly understood what it meant.
It's just that I can't figure it out because I don't have enough information at the moment.
Almost subconsciously, he took out his communication crystal.
Yes, in Ye Ye City, the chief and deputy heads of the three major societies have their own unique communication crystals and can freely contact the other five people.
As for the person to contact, of course it would not be Ye Xiaojiu.
Under such circumstances and conditions, Ge Sheng even believed that Ye Xiaojiu was as confused as herself, unless Mo Xiaojing beside her was a more cordial and lovable close friend who could answer all doubts.
But looking at Ge Sheng's actions, Ao Xuehua, who was already in a leisurely state of watching the show, turned around and smiled: "Can't you understand?"
Ge Sheng nodded seriously.
"Then can you think about it hard?" Ao Xuehua chuckled: "If you are willing, I can give you a few tips."
Ge Sheng smiled: "No need. Although I may be able to guess it, this is not what I am good at after all."
Ao Xuehua smiled after hearing this and said nothing.
Ge Sheng brought the communication crystal close to his face and gently input a burst of magic power.
Immediately, the soft and quiet female voice slowly came from it: "Why, watching a good show alone is a bit lonely? Do you want me to accompany you?"
"By the way, I just remembered that you were with Sister Xue over there, with such a great beauty. How could you still remember to call me?"
Ge Sheng couldn't help but feel a bit big.
Yes, the person he contacted was naturally Christie, his fiancée, and she was probably the best person in the world at this type of thing.
But to be honest, this fiancée is a little off-line most of the time in non-business situations. Seriously, she is the number one alaya consciousness in the world, but in a slightly more amusing situation like this, Ge Sheng is on Linfeng Island. He had already seen her a little bit, but as he got to know her more, he also discovered that Her Majesty the Queen also had a magical and funny heart under her intellectual and all-powerful appearance.
But then, before Ge Sheng could say anything, Christie continued: "What, it turns out you don't know what's going on, Sister Xue, Sister Xue, it's almost over and you still haven't told this person in my family. "
Ao Xuehua's voice came unhurriedly from beside him: "With you as his know-it-all, why bother me?"
"Look, I'm jealous again." Christie's smiling voice came from over there. It seemed that the current situation was quite relaxed. Although the two close friends had broken up, they were now able to joke with each other easily.
"Okay, would you like me to give you a few hints to guess, Mr. Gesheng?" It seems that Christie's smiling Amway face can be thought of.
Ge Sheng firmly refused.
"Okay, okay." Christie's voice came briskly from the other side, and then she seemed to think for a moment: "Look, I'm going to give you a show. Sister Xue, there's no need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank my idiot brother."
Saying this, Ge Sheng clearly saw that the red light that was originally in constant conflict below suddenly stopped, and then the dazzling red light above became extremely bright.
"Two hundred thousand golden leaves and grass."
The whole place fell silent again.
Then the countdown flash starts flashing again.
In the communication crystal, Christie's countdown with a narrow-minded meaning sounded softly: "Watch my order."
"three."
The window flashes.
"two."
The window flashes.
"one."
The moment Christie said "one",
The red light below lit up, and the words "Twenty Thousand and One Thousand Golden Leaf Grasses" slowly floated up.
Christie's laughter was clear and sweet: "Look, do they listen to me?"
At that moment, Ge Sheng suddenly understood something. He carefully organized his words, and then blurted out incredulously.
"Could it be that--"
"Among the people bidding below, you are not included at all?"
"Yes." Ao Xuehua said calmly from the side.
