"The last auction of thousand-year-old green tendon vines will be held three days later, at eight o'clock in the evening. There should be three more thousand-year-old green tendon vines." Ruo Lingqiao said with a smile.
Wuchangkong frowned, "If I want a high-grade plant right now, how can I get it?" He usually doesn't come to the auction house much, and he hasn't been here for a long time.
Ruo Ling hesitated for a moment before saying: "According to our rules, the lot cannot be sold directly. But you have a noble status. If you want it now, it will cost about 20% more than our estimated price. We will give you an accurate answer after negotiating with the sender.”
Wuchangkong turned his head to look at Tang Wulin, "How is it?"
Twenty percent premium? Tang Wulin suddenly felt a pain in his flesh, that's not a small amount! He glanced at the screen just now, and he clearly saw that the estimated value of the top-grade thousand-year-old green tendon vine was five million federal coins, and a 20% premium would be six million.
Although he has saved a lot of money over the years, it was all hammered out with one hammer, so save as much as you can!
"Teacher Wu, it's two days away, right?" Tang Wulin said after hesitating for a moment.
Wuchangkong gave him a meaningful look, nodded, and said, "Okay. Give us two tickets for the auction, and we will come to bid in three days."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll deal with it right away." Ruo Ling agreed with a smile, got up and left. With this brief contact, she already understood that this man was impossible for her to get close to, and he didn't take her seriously at all.
After leaving the auction with the tickets, Tang Wulin and Wuchangkong returned to the hotel. During the whole process, Wuchangkong didn't make any comment on the fact that he wanted to obtain the thousand-year-old green tendon vine through bidding. It's all up to him.
Tang Wulin was actually a little apprehensive. The Shrek Academy exam would be held in one week. If you get the thousand-year-old green tendon vine three days later, you will have nearly four days to break through the seal. My current physical condition is much better than before, and the time should be about the same.
With such a judgment, his mood became a little calmer.
For the next three days, Tang Wulin stayed in the room to practice. Although he had just arrived in Shrek City, he did not go out for a walk. Seeing him like this, Xie Xie naturally couldn't go out by himself. Although he doesn't think it's useful to grind the gun in battle.
Three days later, Tang Wulin and Wuchangkong came to the auction house again.
They were directly invited to the VIP seat. There are only two kinds of people with this status in the auction house. One is naturally rich, and the other is powerful. Undoubtedly, Wuchangkong belonged to the latter.
The scale of the auction was obviously much larger than that of the Donghai Auction in Donghai City. One by one, there were no unusual or rare items, and the atmosphere of the auction was quickly heightened.
"Lot No. 11, the top-grade thousand-year-old green tendon vine. The starting price is three million federal dollars. Each price increase is no less than one hundred thousand federal dollars. The auction begins."
finally come.
Tang Wulin clenched his fists subconsciously. For him, this spiritual object was very important.
Wuchangkong handed the number plate directly to him, and sat beside him, as if he had nothing to do with him.
He has always spared no effort to Tang Wulin in terms of teaching and training, but he has always been very clear with him in terms of economics. For this point, Tang Wulin was more adaptable, he was unwilling to owe others too much.
"Three million federal currency." Tang Wulin held up the number plate in his hand and bid without hesitation.
"Three million and one hundred thousand Federal currency." Soon someone followed the price.
The reason why the thousand-year-old green tendon vine is so expensive is because it has no side effects and can enhance physical fitness and strength of muscles and bones. For many big families, it is a necessity, and it is perfect for cultivating young children. Therefore, there has never been a lack of market for the millennium green tendon vine.
"Three and a half million federal currency."
"Three million and eight hundred thousand federal currency."
Prices keep going up. As Tang Wulin held up the placard, his palms were already sweating. Because he found that according to the current rate of price increase, it seems that the valuation will exceed five million!
He has already begun to regret it. If he had known this, he might as well have taken it with six million that day.
He rarely participated in auctions, so he didn't know that the valuations given by auction houses were generally fair and profitable.
If it is not a popular lot, it can generally be sold within a range close to the estimated price. As for popular lots, most of them exceed the estimated price, and sometimes, even exceed the estimated price by a lot.
So, that day, Ruoling gave them a 20% premium to sell the vines to them because of Wuchangkong's identity. Generally speaking, spiritual things like the thousand-year-old green tendon vine are in short supply.
How did Tang Wulin know about this situation, and immediately created the situation in front of him.
Of course Wuchangkong knew that this might happen, but he didn't remind Tang Wulin. In his view, no matter what, only if he has personally experienced it, the lesson will be more profound and the memory will be more profound.
"Five million four hundred thousand federal currency." When he held up the sign, Tang Wulin was already on the verge of crying.
"Five million and seven hundred thousand Federal currency." Someone soon offered a higher price.
Tang Wulin doesn't even have a chance to regret it now. Although he is stingy, he still attaches great importance to breaking through the seal. Undoubtedly, the success rate of the top-grade thousand-year-old green tendon vine is the highest. When he looked at the auction list that day, he realized that the top-grade There is only one plant. In other words, even if he regretted it now, he couldn't find a second one if he wanted a 20% premium.
Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and continue bidding.
"6.2 million federal currency." Tang Wulin's face became very ugly when the price exceeded 600. I am really too stupid. Why didn't you agree that day? Not only can you try to break through three days in advance, but you can also save money!
"6.3 million federal currency." He had to keep up with the price.
"Six and a half million federal coins..."
"6.8 million federal currency..."
"7.3 million federal currency!" Tang Wulin almost gritted his teeth and raised his number plate again.
Finally, this time, the audience fell silent, and there were no more bidders to follow.
"7.3 million for the first time, 7.3 million for the second time, 7.3 million for the third time, bang! Deal."
With the sound of the falling hammer, Tang Wulin almost slumped on the chair, 1.2 million, and he spent 1.2 million more! So distressed, so distressed.
Wuchangkong looked at him, and said calmly: "That day, I showed them the identity certificate of the Doukai Master. Generally speaking, popular auctions will definitely exceed the estimated price. The price you bought today is normal. I understand. Yet?"
Tang Wulin smiled wryly, "Understood, but the price is so painful."
"Let's go." Wuchangkong had no intention of comforting him at all. If you choose, you have to bear it yourself, and never blame others. He never said this to Tang Wulin, but he has been teaching him with actions.
When paying the money, Tang Wulin was so distressed that he couldn't bear to look at it. In the past three years, he had saved a total of more than 14 million federal coins. This is all the income of a fourth-level blacksmith!
If he hadn't been very sure about impact spirit training and wouldn't waste too much rare metal, I'm afraid he would be in even more pain now. With the little money he has left now, he can't buy much rare metals at all.
