Interstellar's auctions feel no different from those in the Blue Star era. The host still leads the way, and follows the auction from the lowest price according to the value of the exhibits. After confirming the purchase intention, signing for authorization, and withholding the amount, the items will be delivered by the auction house in person. No help in keeping it.
And the essence of buying and selling is just like that. Even if the forms are different, it is still just a process of giving and getting.
In addition to the two main hosts and five deputy hosts, the main podium of the auction also has a reserve team of 60 people behind it, responsible for the explanation and follow-up processing of each line of exhibits and other derivative issues. , coupled with the nearly a thousand staff working in the commercial bank, the entire auction can be said to be well-arranged.
Although it is said that this type of transaction model has always been popular in the black market, it is also tightly covered and there is no news. Although some organizations have been formed one after another in various places, they are all unofficial and small-scale activities that cannot gain much publicity. Therefore, strictly speaking, the auction has been discontinued for many years. Many new generations are unfamiliar with this term and are hesitant about this event.
In any case, the auction held by Sihai Commercial Bank today was indeed the first large-scale public auction in recent years, and even the top officials came forward to speak out. Therefore, the entire auction was held with great fanfare. The trading house not only collected a large number of unusual exhibits, but also used its huge network of contacts to invite celebrities from all walks of life to support it.
In Jiang Hui's impression, auctions were not something that ordinary people could get involved in in his previous life. They were an exclusive playground for Huaguo currency players, so now this one is completely a game scene for capitalists.
In order to warm up the scene, the firm initially selected a few ordinary decorative items that had a reasonable market value and practical value. This kind of thing plays more of a role in face-saving projects than its own existence, so it is destined to have a certain market. It was attracted by many people when it came up, and the atmosphere at the venue was also heated for a while.
Zhou Xiuwen had returned to his private room not long ago, and Jiang Hui and Clarence were the only two people left here.
Both of them came to watch the fun and join in the fun, and they really took their time watching the auction.
It can be seen that the organizer has a good grasp of the rhythm. He has captured everyone's mentality from the beginning. In addition, the host's oral skills are very good, and the atmosphere of the venue is heated up without even showing a few exhibits.
Sure enough, it is worthy of being a Sihai Trading Company, even a mere one. Well, she admitted that this kind of photon communicator sounds really exciting. Not only can it establish information communication regardless of distance, but it can also break through more than 95% of the shielding technology for instant communication, and it can also communicate instantly. It has the highest level of encryption technology at present, and can be used to track and analyze the source of information, etc.
In summary, it is an extremely high-performance communicator.
According to Clarence, if the propaganda is true, this communicator should be the most advanced version of the current communicator. Based on the technical source, it can be roughly judged that it is a high-end experimental item launched by the Academy of Sciences or a research institute. It has an unpredictable value. The base price of this one is almost as high as the value of a high-level B-class mecha. . What's more, the people who want it are constantly asking for the price, and soon this thing will be priced at a price that Jiang Hui can't bear to hear.
Clarence moved his fingertips slightly and slid down the information about the family group, confirming that several people in the group either declined or gave blank replies. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Jiang Hui: "What do you think about this? Are you interested?"
Jiang Hui tore his eyes away from the three-dimensional display on the big screen. He wanted to nod, but then shook his head hard as if he wanted to wake up immediately: "Well, I should do it for the time being. There is no need for something with this kind of function." And the people around her who can use it will not use this product of external third-party technology intervention. After all, the military itself does not even dare to resort to the secret. In a human place, the so-called absolute confidentiality is impossible. Whether it is truly confidential can only be known when something goes wrong. "That's it." The other party nodded slightly and did not express any opinion. His eyes fell back to the auction table. He seemed to have thought about it for a while and finally did not take the photo.
Because the other party's tone and demeanor were so normal, Jiang Hui did not react immediately. It wasn't until the sixth or seventh exhibit came up that Jiang Hui came to his senses. Did this guy just want to take a photo? !
He was interested in this thing. Maybe he wanted to get some approval when he asked Jiang Hui. No, no, no, no, he was inviting her to participate in the settlement. And he already had the accurate answer in his heart, just waiting for her vote.
"Theophile, don't use me as a yardstick for judgment."
"I asked, and they all said no need." Clarence's voice still couldn't be heard. What a disturbance, but Jiang Hui inexplicably sensed a hidden deep sense of grievance.
Oh, I've made some progress this time. I asked the whole family for their opinions. But have you ever figured out why you asked her one more question when her family didn't want it? Isn’t this what you want to buy? ! Where has your previous pride gone in winning almost half of the game in the Hillman Group?
In the end, I missed the opportunity by referring to her opinion. I’m really sorry.
Jiang Hui stroked his forehead, this guy is usually quite smart, but why is his thinking so stupid sometimes?
The two of them had known each other for a few years, which was enough to understand a person's temperament.
Clarence was born into a wealthy family. He is a traditional young man at heart. His character is naturally good. There is no doubt about this. However, he has a problem that may be said to be common to such people. A common problem for some people is that they have too many good things, and no matter what they need since childhood, someone will bring them to them, so they are relatively weak in material desires.
Jiang Hui had seen that the few times he purchased items from the Hillman Group were actually for his family, and there were not many things he really wanted to sell.
But when he actually encounters something he wants to buy, he often hesitates because he can't tell the difference.
No, you, a young master, still don’t spend money on yourself? He also has to get confirmation from others. From this point alone, it seems that he is too dishonest about his heart, and it is also a reflection of his extreme character.
Yes, extreme. Jiang Hui thought this was the most distinctive point of the other party’s character. No matter what he does, he must be the strongest and be extremely demanding on himself. Obviously, given the environment in which he grew up, he would not have developed such a temperament, but he ended up with such a temperament. It is wrong to say that he has no obsession. possible.
But it is impossible to be truly perfectionist in anything in this world. If you want too much and are afraid of bearing the consequences of your choices, you will feel more and more limited in yourself and become more and more depressed. pain.
