Chapter 60 Private Auction
"So many pitfalls!" Qian Yang was scared for a moment. Fortunately, he didn't know anything when he came the first two times, otherwise he would not know how many spirit stones he would be cheated.
It would be fine if you know nothing about these things like Qian Yang before, but if you just know a little but pretentious, it would be a disaster. There are too many things here that can make you willingly take out five spirit stones and enjoy them again and again.
"Master!" Qian Yang turned around and didn't dare to take action. He couldn't help but sigh.
"Fellow Taoist laughed!" The young master saw Qian Yang turn it out, and hurriedly stepped forward to talk. Qian Yang also folded his fists and returned the greeting.
"I have something to ask for, but I don't know if my friends have any spare time?" Shaodong asked.
"Ah?" Qian Yang was a little confused, but nodded.
Seeing Qian Yang agreeing, the young master quickly raised his hand and pointed it out: "Fellow Taoist, please tell me the story of the back hall!"
"Oh! OK." Qian Yang was a little surprised by the invitation of the young master, but he couldn't help but want to find out the truth.
When they arrived at the back hall, the two of them sat down one after another. Qian Yang opened his eyes and looked at the young master, not knowing what he was going to say.
"Song Yi, I am the young man from this store, and I don't know the name of my friend?" Shao Dong spoke slowly.
"Oh, Qian Yang is here, I wonder what happened to Fellow Daoist Song asked me to come?" Qian Yang replied.
Song Yi bowed and said, "I thanked fellow Taoists last time, and I luckily broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. I have never had the opportunity to express my gratitude in person. I feel very uneasy."
"Young Master is polite. I want to thank the Young Master for your trust." Qian Yang was not anxious, and he just greeted him!
Song Yi smiled and said, "Last time, fellow Taoist showed his ability to identify prehistoric antiques. Afterwards, I couldn't help but feel respectful when I think about it!"
Oh? Is it because of this? Qian Yang replied quietly: "Shaodong has won the award!"
Song Yi was as open as Mount Tai, so he had to go straight to the topic: "There is a private small auction tonight. I'm interested in asking fellow Taoists to help me. I wonder if I'm interested?"
Auction? Of course Qian Yang is interested, but his wealth is really unavailable to enter the auction hall. If he takes this opportunity to learn more today, Qian Yang will naturally be able to ask for it. However...
"Private? Since you need to auction, you will naturally hope that the more people, the better. Why do you need to be private?" Qian Yang wanted to find out the whole story.
Song Yi thought about it for a moment and spoke hesitantly: "Since fellow Taoist has this question, I think he is intending to help this?"
Qian Yang also unintentionally covered up: "I am indeed interested, but I have to figure it out. If I cause trouble for no reason, it is not worth it."
Song Yi smiled: "Fellow Daoist is just attending the auction as an appraiser in my store. Even if there is any trouble, it will definitely not involve fellow Taoist. But this matter is indeed not suitable for external rumor. When the fellow Taoist knows, please keep your mouth shut, otherwise it is very likely that everyone's wealth will be cut off."
Qian Yang nodded: "I am not a person who speaks a lot. Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, I will naturally not mention it casually in front of others."
Seeing Qian Yang agreeing, Song Yi slowly explained the whole story of the "private auction" to Qian Yang in detail.
Since it is named "private auction", it is naturally not the kind of formal auction held in the auction house in the ordinary sense. Strictly speaking, this auction has a more "stolen goods" meaning.
This private auction has only appeared in the market recently, but the organizers of this auction have been "selling stolen goods" in the market for a long time.
In the early years, this man was just a small fight and often used prehistoric items to sell them secretly to various stores, and some of them were of great quality.
In this way, it is not a big problem occasionally, but over time, people have to doubt the origin of these things, and some people can't help but think about it.
The specific situation cannot be described.
In short, this monk named Lu Tian was jointly dug out by several shops. However, Lu Tian was also alert and decisively relied on a big man by relying on the channels of prehistoric items in his hands.
The big man came forward to take on the matter for him and also signed distribution agreements with several stores, which was the predecessor of the "private auction".
After the big man took over this channel, the quantity and quality of the prehistoric items sold were greatly improved. However, the number of prehistoric items was limited in the end. The big man was dissatisfied with this channel, so he began to sell magic weapons, spiritual weapons, materials and other items through this channel. The sales method gradually evolved into auctions.
In order to sell more, he gradually selected some stores without much background to secretly join his distribution channel. Wuling Pavilion was invited to join not long ago.
The human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant.
The big man still felt that he didn't make enough money after having such a channel, so he gradually began to add materials to his prehistoric items that had a good reputation, that is, to mix some items obtained from other channels.
Since it is said to be prehistoric objects, it naturally includes valuable prehistoric antiques and worthless prehistoric objects. These require appraisers to carefully distinguish them, and it is inevitable that they will be occasionally slashed. Now that things that are artificially mixed in with unknown origins, this business is becoming increasingly difficult to do.
However, as long as you have a sharp vision, it is profitable. Song Yi accidentally saw Qian Yang today, remembering his magical performance last time, and couldn't help but call for him.
Qian Yang listened carefully to Song Yi's story and nodded from time to time. Seeing that his story had come to an end, he asked, "I wonder where that big man came from?"
"Ah? Haha, I don't know this!" Song Yi smiled and shook his head.
Qian Yang curled his lips. Song Yi is worthy of being a businessman. He speaks without any leakage. The long story seems to have explained the whole story of the matter clearly, but in fact it is not said anything useful.
Seeing Qian Yang hesitating, Song Yi had to leak some information: "All people who know this big man's identity are secretive, but it is not difficult for people in the circle to guess the source of this person based on guessing." Song Yi looked up at Qian Yang and said slowly: "But fellow Taoists know that these are just a little trouble. I can only guarantee with Taoist heart that this person has nothing to do with your Qingling Sect."
Song Yi was indeed smart and could tell at a glance that Qian Yang was afraid that this would be involved with his sect.
Qian Yang nodded: "Then it's not appropriate for me to wear this outfit to go to the auction?"
When Song Yi saw Qian Yang ask this, he knew that the matter was done. He laughed and said, "Of course, I want to change my clothes for fellow Taoists, so don't worry."
Qian Yang stood up and said, "Since that's the case, Qian accompanied Shaodong on the way, but his eyesight was limited, so it was difficult to satisfy Shaodong."
"It's okay! Old Master Zhou will go with us, so this trip will naturally be dominated by him. If a fellow Taoist can pick out some good things outside this, the profits will be rewarded by a fellow Taoist. I wonder what my friend wants?" Song Yi asked in his eyes.
"But it depends on the young man!" Qian Yang bowed his hand to the court.
