Gaia star's rare plant auction was held as scheduled. All connoisseurs who were planning to participate in this auction from all over the world came to Gaia star early by starship, for fear of being delayed on their way and missing this auction.
Originally, in order to add gimmicks to this auction, Soma Auction House began to spend half a month promoting the preheating on the star network. It didn't take long for the name of this auction to spread throughout the appreciation of rare plants. circle.
If you stay in this circle and don't know about this auction, then the other party may be embarrassed to say that he is a connoisseur of rare plants.
Originally, these connoisseurs had already been hooked and wanted to participate in this auction right away, but a few days before the auction started, Soma Auction House released an official message on Youxing, saying that this This auction unexpectedly added a finale baby, and a lot of compliments in the back almost didn't brag about this baby.
But even if it is bragging, the official dare to blow this finale auction item like this, even if the real thing is not as good as the description, there should be five points.
Five points is enough for them to look forward to - what "looks like a red lotus, looks like a precious jade", but seeing that the auction will only start in a few days, isn't this anxious!
The connoisseurs who came to participate in the auction can be said to be full of appetite. On the day when the auction started, everyone hurried to enter the venue. Wanting to see it earlier made them think about it day and night. The finale baby of the day.
On the other hand, after the pot of succulent was successfully entrusted to the auction house, Xie Luan stopped paying attention to this matter, and just waited for the auction to collect the money.
More money and less money is an income. Xie Luan has already thought about it. When the money is in his hand, he first goes to Xingwang to buy some toys for the cubs in the branch.
I heard that many cub care clubs will build special playgrounds for cubs, but their clubs don’t have them, so at least buy some toys for the cubs.
Otherwise, these cubs usually have nothing to play with. Xie Luan is willing to play with these cubs, but he can't stay with them for too long, and he can't take care of so many cubs... He still has to buy toys.
On the second day of the auction, Soma's auction house directly sent the treasurer to visit their big client in person. He found a dilapidated cub care club between the bustling commercial streets on both sides. The treasurer stood in front of the rusted iron gate, almost thinking that he was in the wrong place.
How could a big client stay in a place like this?
According to the original idea of the head of the auction house, the person who can take out that kind of rare treasure should have a good background.
Although it was a surprise, the treasurer did not forget what he was here for today, and quickly went in to find the target of his trip.
"Hello, Mr. Xie, I'm the director of Soma Auction House." The director politely handed a business card to the young human in front of him, along with a dark purple crystal card, "The auction proceeds of the consignment will be deducted. The amount after the 15% commission is all in this crystal card, with a total of 3.06 million credit points."
He was about to reach out to take the two cards, but Xie Luan was stunned when he heard the words, and suddenly doubted his hearing, "... How much?"
"3.06 million credit points." The supervisor said this carefully, trying to make his face more sincere when he spoke. Could it be that the young man felt that the auction price was low and did not reach the expected amount, so he was a little dissatisfied
Thinking that the young human being in front of him was a client that the superior was trying to win over, the supervisor immediately began to say something nice: "Actually, the transaction price of this consignment is already the highest among all the rare plant auctions so far, the last one The highest record is only 1.17 million, so it can be said that the transaction price of your consignment is unique."
In today's interstellar age, the most valuable and most attractive things in auctions are auctions of rare resources and cutting-edge weapons such as new mechas. Auction items like rare plants, which are only used for viewing and satisfying personal hobbies, can sell for more than three million yuan, which is really a sky-high price.
If you only want money, the auction house should collect more resources to hold popular types of auctions, but Soma Auction House is a very ambitious auction house. In addition to asking for money, the top management also focuses on fame.
After all, there are many trade planets in the interstellar space, and there are countless auction houses. If you want to stand out among the many auction houses, of course you have to build a reputation. Like the auction that ignited the entire rare plant appreciation circle this time, even outsiders couldn't help but follow along to join in the fun, which brought considerable attention to their auction house.
After accumulating fame, is it not easy for Soma Auction House to want money again? Therefore, for customers who can sell rare items, it is very necessary to win over at this stage.
Confirming that he heard it right, Xie Luan took the two cards from the opponent's hand, swiped his finger on the dark purple crystal card, and saw the number 3060000 clearly displayed on it.
Asked Xie Luan how he was feeling now, he was probably still a little confused, but he still maintained his normal expression and nodded to the person in front, expressing that he was very satisfied with the transaction price.
Seeing the young man nodding, the supervisor also breathed a sigh of relief, and said cheerfully with a bit of attentive attitude: "Now above You Xing, your pot of rare and precious plants has become a popular concern. To be honest, I have seen strange plants over the years. There are also many rare plants, but I have never seen such a magnificent treasure, and it is now fascinated by many people outside the connoisseur circle."
There has even been a wave of craze about the appreciation of exotic plants on Youxing since yesterday, and some people who didn't pay attention to this circle at first are now a little interested.
Xie Luanmu nodded and nodded again, listening to the other party complimenting the succulent pot he raised on Earth, Xie Luanda's mood at this time was very complicated.
"If you have any other rare items that you want to entrust for auction in the future, you may wish to consider our Soma auction house first. In terms of commission ratio, our auction house is willing to give you a discount and only charge a 10% service fee." This is the The main purpose of the other party's trip.
Xie Luan didn't refuse, and replied "Yes". As soon as he left, he turned around and went to the office, where he used that old-fashioned optical brain to log in to his Youxing account, which was newly created a few days ago.
Youxing is almost the same as Weibo on Earth. After logging in, Xie Luan saw the word "exotic plants" on the popular title, and then clicked in and saw his pot of succulents that had been auctioned off.
There are countless praises and comments below this released picture. When Xie Luan saw that "this may be a rare breed that has been bred from countless psychic abilities on an unexplored planet", he finally couldn't help it. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
No... it's really just...
A pot of succulent for a few dollars on a certain treasure.
After turning off the optical brain and calming down the complicated mood, Xie Luan pressed his finger on the center of the crystal card for three seconds to bind his identity. Carrying this crystal card with more than 3 million credit points, Xie Luan decided to go to see the old president now and discuss the future development of their branch with the other party.
The amount of money from the auction completely exceeded Xie Luan's expectations. With this money, Xie Luan felt that he might be able to be an investor in this cub care branch.
The old president was very old. When he heard the idea proposed by Xie Luan, he raised his blurred eyes and took a deep look at the other party, with an irresistible excitement on his face.
He didn't know how the other party got the money, but the young man's behavior was tantamount to giving help in the snow, giving hope to the old president who had been worrying about the existence of the branch.
Of course, the old chairman would not reject Xie Luan's investment proposal. He nodded and accepted it almost immediately. He only needed to sign a contract, and the matter was finalized.
After coming out of the old president's room and taking care of the cubs, Xie Luan saw Xia Qi looking at Zhao Chuan with a bad face again, and this time he didn't know why.
"Anyway, I'll remind you that according to your current work attitude, you will be fired sooner or later." Xia Qi put down this sentence with a cold face. Recently, the other party has become more and more excessive, but if the other party is willing to be a little more serious at work , Xia Qi will not always show each other's face.
Who wouldn't want to be able to talk to Yan Yuese, but some people just refuse to listen to what others say, and have to be scolded.
The word "dismissal" was a bit of a deterrent to Zhao Chuan originally, but he heard it a lot from Xia Qi's side, and he was already immune. Having worked in this cub care branch for two years, Zhao Chuan knew that under the conditions of this branch, he could not hire any new employees. Since he could not hire new employees and there were already not enough staff, he would definitely not dismiss him casually. .
So this time Zhao Chuan didn't take it seriously, and he still had that attitude, until another human youth who also didn't take it seriously came to him—
"You've been fired." Xie Luan said this very clearly, word by word, so that the other party could not hear it clearly.
There was no anger in the young man's voice, he just used a very ordinary statement tone, and his expression was calm.
"You fire me when you say you fire me?" Zhao Chuan sneered, as if he heard something funny, "You are just a new employee, learn how to respect your seniors when you have time, why do you still consider yourself the chairman of the board? Is it?"
Xie Luan was not annoyed, but said, "It's true that he can be regarded as half the president."
Zhao Chuan only thought that the young man was telling a joke. Originally, he wanted to laugh twice for the other party, but when the old president appeared, he couldn't laugh.
"Xiao Luan said that you were fired, then you were fired. What are you still doing here? Pack up your things and go. I will transfer this month's salary to your crystal card." The old president is also very resolute. , the youth is now the biggest investor in their branch. Of course, the dismissal of an employee can be done, especially since the employee is of bad character.
Only then did Zhao Chuan really start to panic. Before he could understand how the young human in front of him became half the president of the branch, he suddenly changed his face and put on a sympathetic expression, "President, you can't fire me, where can I find anything outside? Work. Don't talk about work, I don't even have a place to stay outside. If you fire me, wouldn't that mean pushing me to the edge of a cliff, I... "
"We are the Cub Care Association here, not the Poverty Alleviation Association." Xie Luan interrupted the other party's words.
"You—" Wanting to curse and remembering the youth's current identity, Zhao Chuan held back his words, "I'm not leaving anyway, don't let me leave!"
Seeing that, Zhao Chuan started to cheat, which made Xia Qi and the old president both frown. If the other party is so stubborn and refuses to leave, how can they drive the other party out of such a big man
However, Xie Luan was more straightforward than the other party, "Really not leaving?"
After asking this sentence, Xie Luan waved to the Muka cub who came out of the room because he heard his voice.
Seeing the dangerous Muka cub getting closer and closer, Zhao Chuan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Then Zhao Chuan was inattentive, and the young man pulled his left hand. In front of the Muka cub, his pulled left hand hit the young man's arm.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Luan performed a live performance of the birth of a playwright, and it was obvious that it was not painful at all, but he cried out in pain.
"呲—" Seeing the young man being attacked, the Muka cub suddenly let out a low roar that represented a threat from its throat, tightened its vertical pupils to hide the young man behind him, and then used the scarlet vertical pupils to tighten Staring at the person who attacked the young man just now.
The more he stared at Zhao Chuan, the more aggressive the Muka cub showed. This obvious dangerous gesture reminded Zhao Chuan of the shadow he had been chased by the Muka cub before. After holding on for a few seconds, he was so frightened that he ran away.
"It's resolved." Xie Luan said.
Xia Qi, the old president: "..."
"The baby is awesome." Xie Luan reached out and patted the Muka cub's sharp forearm, then lowered his voice to praise the other party.
The Muka cub, who was praised by the youth, tilted its head slightly, made a low hiss, and finally lowered its head and arched into the youth's arms.
The youth has no fighting ability, so it has to protect the opponent. In the Muka clan, losing the ability to fight basically means death, so in this Muka cub's cognition, if it doesn't want the young man in front of it to die, then it must "protect". At the same time of protection, provide the youth with survival resources, so that the youth can survive.
Now that there is a considerable amount of money, Xie Luan first made a rough plan in his mind on how to allocate and use this money as the start-up capital of this branch.
The day passed quickly, and after entering the insulation room at night to apply the nutrient solution to the three cub eggs inside, Xie Luan returned to his room, lay down on the soft cushion and prepared to take a good sleep, and began his plan tomorrow.
Although Xia Qi said that the nutrient solution can be applied every few days, Xie Luan has not fallen for a day in the past few days, running to the insulation room every day.
When he closed his eyes, he was still thinking about the development of the branch, but the sleepiness came quickly. It didn't take long for Xie Luan to fall asleep, and his breathing gradually became shallow.
The branch at night is in a quiet and quiet darkness, and in the only place where there is light in this quiet dark night, an unknown thing is happening at this time—
[This egg has not hatched for so many years, it should be a dead egg. 】
[It's good to be a dead egg, but I heard that there is still a little life reaction in the test, which is really hard. 】
[When there is no life response, just throw this egg into the junkyard. 】
[Since all the other clansmen are dead, what is left to do with a cub? 】
[Sorry, our club can't accept this cub egg, you still send it to other cub care clubs. 】
[In view of complaints from parents, it is not convenient for our branch to take care of this cub, you guys… ]
…
…
【Let's be born soon. 】
"Crack." A crisp sound suddenly appeared in the quiet insulation room. With the appearance of this sound, a clear crack appeared on the black baby egg that had been smeared with nutrient solution and properly placed on the soft cushion. .
This crisp sound appeared several times in a row, and when the eggshell finally made a gap with enough space, a white fluffy cub that looked a little round when it was bent down came out of the eggshell. Climb out with kicked legs.
There was still a bit of a smell belonging to someone in the insulation room. When it was still in the eggshell, the cub felt this warm atmosphere.
But the breath left in the holding room was too weak to be felt, which made the cub instinctively purr.
This is an unfamiliar world, and despite being in the holding room, this cub still feels a cold feeling that seems to be transmitted directly to the depths of its heart, like some kind of dark pulse, dormant in the depths of its soul place. And the only thing that can make this feeling go away is the smell it smells on eggshells and soft cushions.
Outside the brightly lit holding room was a blackness of silence, and even though it was facing a completely unfamiliar world, the cub walked into this silence and darkness from a place where there was light.
【Let's be born soon. 】
"Huwu." As if responding to the gentle voice in his memory, the cub moved the tip of its tail slightly and started its search.
